Inter-City Games Between Mines
Composed of Best Semi-PrO
Players Discussed.
BY EDWARD P. DUFFY.

A good suggestion was made to the
writer the other day that would do a
a great deal for semi-professional base
ball In this vicinity. This fan proposed
that a team be organized at the end
of the season from the ranks of all the
local teams inc have that collection of
players meet a similarly organized team
of Jersey City in a series. Two very fine
combinations could be thus obtained,
and some great baseball would be the
result. The series could be of five
games.
A team representing Newark made
up something like this would be fine:
Reeves and Taggart, pitchers; Barrett
and Burdette. catchers; Bauswein, first
base; Stuart, second base; Lennon,
shortstop; Menchner, of the Ironsides,
third base; Cohen, left field; Provost,
of Caldwell, centre field; Egler, right
field; Allerton, utility infelder. and
Maize, formerly of the Chatham team,
would have a fine array for selection
also. How does it strike you?
Local fans will be glad to hear that
Pop Westlake and George Cowan,
the lOTllleT Oh belleNllle, anu the ldlltT
of Orange, are catching splendid ball
for the Richmond and Lynchburg
teams respectively.
The return to form of Bill burning,
the Watsessing twirler. Is a great sur
prise. 1t was thought that the success
sor to Larry Hesterfer on the suburban
team was down and out two years ago.
He is pitching better ball than ever
this year. But, Bill, please do not use
so much of the stuff for the splitter. A
spectator on the side line can see the
saliva jump from the sphere on its way
to the batter. The practise is not any
too good for Bill. either.

ROSEWLLES BEST ORIENTALS.

The Roseville Athletic Club defeated
the Oriental Athletic Club at the Roseville
Oval yesterday afternoon by a score of
6 to 8. A shut-out would have been
placed to Greenwald's credit but for an
error at short with two men out. Scanlon
led the Rosevilles at the bat with three
safe hits. one of which was good for two
bases, and he accepted everything that
came his way. There were tire fast double
plays pulled off. The Rosevilles figured In
two. Both teams played fast ball.

DO 1T Nowl

A PLAN for the relief of congestion
~ in the city jail is under official
Ia consideration. 1t is possible that
the stockade project may be abandoned
and that that of an extra floor in the
building may be substituted. 1t is said
that the floor would cost from $1,000 to
$4,000 and that it could be completed in
two weeks. The stockade would be
much more expensive. 1t is gratifying
to see that the persons to whom the
city of Los Angeles has given authority
to act in the matter are awakening to
a sense Of their duty. 1t is to be hoped
that hesitation between the merits of
the floor plan and the stockade plan
will not form an excuse for further
delay. Procrastination will be mex
cusable. If the city could afford it the
suggestion might be made that stock
ade might be built and that an extra
floor might be added to the jail as we'll.
The stockade involves considerable ex-
pense for maintenance, while the cost
of the floor after its construction has
been paid for would not increase seri-

of the pressing demands of the Ameri-
can domestic market, articles ordered
have not been delivered on time, ana
orders have been taken by manufac-
turers who knew they could not deliver
for months after the time specified. a
British purchaser will almost invari-
ably continue to buy articles that have
given satisfaction, so that the British
field is one worth cultivating properly.
The British purchaser must be shown
that it is to his advantage to purchase
the article offered for sale he does
not jump at new articles with avidity,
and requires proof of their utility and
of their especial advantage to him. 1t
will appear Immediately that 1t is inn
possible to satisfactorily introduce
articles, with such national habit,
through ordinary agents or merchants.
The ideal way of introducing articles
in the United Kingdom is by means OF
a permanent agency located at a CEN
trail point. The man in charge of this
agency should know the British field
thoroughly and have the art of sales
manship as well. He should have en-
tire charge Of the whole British terri
tory, with authority to employ such as
sistants as are necessary. This means
a large initial expense, which must be
regarded as a capital outlay. In other
words, it is not wise to expect imme-
date profitable results from an en-
trance into the British market; it takes
time, patience and capital to cultivate
the field successfully"

YANKEE DOODLE

n UR great and good friend, George
Harvey. editor of the North
" American Review, has reopened
the controversy over the origin of
Yankee Doodle and of the word Yam
kee. The more one investigates, the
more one becomes certain that both of
the explanations that have been Of
fered recurrently are correct, so there
is nothing to fight about. One school
of patriotic philologists says that Yam
kee Doodle was Oliver Cromwell. Evil
eence both eircumstantial and inher-
emit warrants this belief. Oliver was
nicknamed Uncle Doodle, or Nunky
Doodle, which was changed easily to
Nankie Doodle, and then to Yankie
Doodle. AS recently in history as dur
ing the war of 1912, the word Yankee
was spelled Yankie. During the French
and Indian wars, in old colony times,
the Indian allies of the French found
great difficulty with the letter L in the
French word for English, which is
Anglais. Instead Of saying les Angiais
with the academic French pronuncia-
ton, they said lay Yangais. or Yangees.
The coincidence in the evolution of
Nunkie into Yankee, and almost sim
ultaneousIy of Anglais into Yankee, is
strange, but all condolences are
strange, and as truth is stranger than
fiction there is no artistic necessity for
weaving romances about the history Of
Yankee Doodle and the Yankee.

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
BLIND JUSTICE AND PIGS
TINE police biotter yesterday showed
that forty arrests for drunken
Il ness were made in Los Angeles

HyHE police blotter yesterday showed
that forty arrests for drunken
Il ness were made in Los Angeles
Sunday. This is a considerable failing
off from the record of the week pre-
vious. but whether there were fewer
cases of drunkenness in Los Angeles
or only fewer arrests is not matter
in regard to which a positive statement
may be made. Along with the forty
drunks the enforcers of law gathered
in one Illicit seller of liquor. Forty 20
one. Justice is truly blind when she
hunts blind pigs. But perhaps we are
to infer that only one liquor fount was
flowing in our city and that all forty
citizens met their fate in one tap
roomi Chief Kern and his captains
and patrolmen may shed some hght on
this question if they WILL
It is not to be believed that if the law
In regard to strict Sunday closing were
strictly enforced forty inebriates could
be arrested. Some poor sinners would
lay in a supply of liquor and would in
dulge in a Sunday carousal, even If the
law were respected and observed. But
it is absolutely unbelievable that forty
persons laid deliberate Saturday plans
to make Sunday beasts of themselves.
The enforcement of the Sunday law
would make Monday blank day in the
police courts. Instead of that, business
is always brisk, sometimes unusually
brisk.
1t is not right that drunken people
should be allowed to disturb the tran
auillity of a day that is observed by
many of our worthiest citizens as day
of worship, and by almost all of them
as a day of rest or recreation. The
drunkard probably thinks that he is
only asserting his own rights. Instead
of that, he is interfering with the rights
of his neighbor. Under the circum-
stances, the man who in defiance OF
law continues to sell drink to the
drunkard is an enemy of society. The
penalties for Sunday liquor selling
ought to be SO severe as to act as a
terror and deterrent to those har-
dened evildoers, the men who, APP
parently relying on some privilege or
immunity or negligence or irresponsi-
bility or stupidity on the part of Of
fcialdom, continue to sell intoxicating
drinks to the victims who make grist
for the Monday morning police court
mill.
