GROUNDS NOT RIGHT

There will be no ball game between
the Morans and the San Pedro team
next Sunday unless the seaside bunch
wishes to play in this city. The Morans
refuse to go through a contest on the
San Pedro diamond and say that unless
the other nine agrees to come here the
Sunday date will not be fulfilled. Not
long ago the Morans played at San Ue-
dro, but the condition Of the grounds
was such that the members of the team
stated that they would never appear
there again unless the sun fields were
switched. This the San Pedro men
agreed to do but as they have not lived
up to their promise the Morans will not
appear there

Examining Surgeon Discovers Decep-

Another Chance

Because by slipping lead insoles into
his stockings he hoped to creep into
the firemen's lists well within the
weight limit, yet reached only II per
cent in his average, a candidate for the
civil service yesterday asked the civil
service commission for permission to
try again
The man had by this device sought to
escape rejection for being under
weight.
The regulations provide that weight
must be done for applicants stripped.
This man had put the heavy insoles
inside his stockings and the deception
was revealed when he was told to take
off his stockings. much to his surprise.

$1,000 PURSE
RACE TODAY
FIRST OF NEW FEATURES AT
SANTA ANITA
Fair Card Only, but One Event Being
of Any CIass-Harcourt Should
Cop the Opening
Number
BY IRVING b. CLEMENT

The first of the series of $1,000 purse
and handicap races will be run this af-
ternoon and the best horses quartered
at the track are carded. The conditions
are such that the allotment of the
weights gives them an equal chance
and it is one OF the hardest races of
the season in which to pick the win
ner.
With the exception of the third race,
which brings out a good lot, the bal
ance of the card is fair only.
Harcourt was unfortunate to lose his
last race. as Shilling was overconfi-
dent. He outclasses this bunch and
should show his heels to his opponents
the entire journey. Duke of Bridge
water is the one to beat, as he ran
a fair race his last out and should inn
prove. May place today. Henry OF
Shennamere and BrGwl will probably
have an argument for the show honors
and Henry may land them.
Hampass won his last race in such
easy fashion that it stamps him a fair
colt and as he has an ordinary lot OPP
posed to him should win the second
number. Madeline Musgrave will go
well and should be a dangerous factor
all the way. High Ormonde and Marion
Delorme look to hold the balance of
the field safe.
Taylor George looks like the one to
beat in the third race, as he has the
early foot of the field, and it would be
no surprise to see him in front the en-
tire journey. Chippewa can do better
than his last race and will be hard
horse to beat for place money. If any
thing does the trick it will probably be
Golden Shore or Confederate. They
figure close 20 Chippewa Merlingo
and Gossiper are two outsiders that
may upset calculations.
Rosegal Figures Well
Adhering strictly to figures based on
past performances, Rosegal appears to
have a shade the best Of it in the purse
race. Magazine, the hard luck horse of
the track, figures next best and may
break his hoodoo streak and cop the
long green. Sir Edward and Creston
must be conceded a good chance as
their last few races were very good.
Pretension has a big package on his
back. but weight does not bother him.
A very bad lot go in the fifth race
and figures win count for little, as few

The Clever Woman.

With all the discussion that is now
going on about what constitutes the
clever woman II is interesting to get
the opinion of great English author
and editor.
A clever woman, as a wife, is a wom-
an who Is skilled in the conduct of life,
in the control Of the household, and,
above all, in the management of her
husband, says William T. Stead in the
Delineator. A woman who could Meth
err read nor write would be bad wife
for any ordinary man in civilized
community, but such an illiterate WON
an, II she were clever in all the arts
of domestic economy, in the rearing OF
children and in being at once the in
spiration and comfort Of her husband
would be clever enough for the clever
est man in existence, and infinitely
preferable to the cleverest woman in
book learning that has ever been
turned out by university.

its commercial and industrial re-
sources. its prosperity as indicated
by its bank deposits and the number

cemetery's Strange Uses.

According to the reports submitted
by keepers of Pere Lachaise, the IA
nous Partisan cemetery is utilized for
many other objects besides the burial
place of well-to-do families. 1t is re-
sort OF thieves who steal the bronze
and brass work, which they take bit
by bit from the tombs and hide in
their pockets. II Is also hunting
ground for collectors Of curios, who.
armed with hooked sticks, break the

tombs and abstract small vases of sill.

Women, too, make practice OF
stealing wreaths of imitation pearls,
which they place under their dress

the resort of sentimental lovers.
When those seen kissing are very
young, the keepers take their names
and communicate with their parents
Thus is many schoolgirls romance
nipped in the bud.
Young and handsome women
dressed in the deepest widows weeds
are sometimes seen weeping at the
tombs of people in no way related
to them. This is with an eye to the
coming Of a male consider, who event

and others 1t is thought advisable to
