policeman he questioned, and when
a number of negatives had been heard
he continued: ''Well, I'll just tell you
how 1t was.
First, 1 started in to catch all the
fish in the world just for revenge,
then 1 became fascinated with the Sport
and have kept at it ever since.
when 1 was quite a small boy-just
how small it has been so long ago
don't remember-but 1 was quite a
small lad then, l went out skating one
day on pond near my home.
Now, l had been told to keep away
from that pond by my mother, for the
reason that the ice was not regarded
as safe. l went anyway, though, and
was having a merry time of it when
crack! wen the ice, and 1 stumbled
and fell.
Head Broke Ice
when my head hit the ice it broke
right through, and there was with
my head and shoulders sticking down
in the water and my feet straight ur
in the air, waving danger signals and
distress signs to all who might see.
Il don't know how long 1 had been
in that hole when l felt something tug
at my feet and 1 knew help was at
hand. At the same moment felt some
thing cold and Shiny catch hold OF my
nose, and L want to tell you that, be-
sides being pretty nearly drowned /
was almost scared to death; You see,
was only a small boy then and /
could be scared.
"WelI. whatever it was had hold of
my nose hung on and my rescuers up
above were pulling with might and
main, and between the two l felt as
if l was being drawn out into a thin
ribbon of boy.
FINALLY l heard a dim commotion
up above and then some one else
grabbed hold of my legs, and after a
mighty pull up l came, gasping and
spluttering and fighting that thing
which had hold of my nose.
"Now what do you suppose 1t was
I'll tell you. 1t was a great big Ger
man carp, and it must have weighed
all of forty rounds.
when the men, for there were three
of them who pullet me out saw that
fish hold onto me they nearly fell dead
with surprise.
II saw in it. though, lucky thing,
for only the day before l had heard
my mother say she wanted some fresh
fish, and 1 grabbed up the fish and
ran home with it as fast as I could.
when ] got there l told my mother
that l was walking along the road on
my way home from school when l saw
the fish through hole in the ice and
ran to get it for her.
"She didn't look very much pleased,
and then remarked in a very dry tone:
And do you always walk home from
school with your skates on?'
I'm my excitement 1 had forgotten
to pull my skates off and I walked
two miles home with them on and
hadn't noticed them.
1T got licked for going skating. and
I figured it out If that fish hadn't
held me IN the water and induced me
to bring 1t home with me I wouldn't
have got that licking, and SO 1 swore
solemn vow right then and there to
catch every fish there was in the world
and kill and eat them just for revenge.
"Of course, 1 got over that revengful
feeling a long time ago, and l fish for
the love of the sport, but it just shows
what little events will happen to make
a fellow do things in his life

sent Mcdonald home to think 1t over
for the winter. He will get another
trial next year to prove that his debut
was a fiuke.
Pitcher McGill, who was secured by
McAleer from the Texas league, got
away with the two games he worked,
although the players insisted he didn't
have a thing. evidently the players

Jim didn't even smile, but Sheridan
did when the joke finally soaked in.
1t looks very much as If McAleer had

Bill Bailey, the Texas Wonder" Bal

White Sox. Howell was in poor form
that day and he was yanked out of
the box in the fifth inning with the
bases filled and one down. McAleer
regarded the game as lost and sent
Bailey in merely to see him in action.
The Browns were five runs to the bad.

The first ball pitched was a strike,
as was the second, the third was a ball,
but by this time Bailey had the crowd
with him, AM he was being urged to
strike Smith out. The next one was g.

swing and walked to the bench, while
the fans yelled with delight.
Eddie Hahn, the first batter was up
and the fans looked for something to
happen. Hahn decided to make Bailey
pitch, and offered at only one of the
first five balls pitched. The crisis came
with three balls and two strikes on the
batter. Bailey never faltered, but
stuck one right over. Hahn passed 1t
up and when the umpire yelled strike

the kid a great reception
With the bases filed and one down
he had retired the side without a run.
Chicago got only one scratch hit dur
ing the remainder of the game and

Sox hard and lost out by the close

debut was not fuke by keeping up
the good work.

TT AIRY WHITE is the champion
long and middle distance prevari-
- Gator of the Ananias club.

" AIRY WHITE is the champion
long and middle distance prevari-
- Gator of the Ananias club.
There were many earnest endeavor-
ers striving for the exalted position,
but in the classic language of Teddy
Haupt, "he beat us all so far that he
couldn't tell L had been eating linn
burger sandwiches.
The Ananias club held it's annual
election last night, and of the seven
teen truthful and veracious gentlemen
who entered the lists to carry off the
blue ribbon, White easily distanced
them all, having a lead of forty-seven
votes when the tally clerks got through
footing up the result.
Truth to tell it was an easy
race for the Chief Calf Wielder of the
club, for il has long been acknowledged
that as a facile, graceful, two-handed
prevaricator he is easily the best of the
entire membership of the ancient and
honorable order.
The result of the ballot for president
was as follows:
Harry White, 116; Charlie Dixon, SO;
Teddy Haupt, "a; Paul Flammer So;
William Kelley, Al; o. l.. Gilpin, %;
Lee Heath, IL; John McCauley, 6; e.
H. Garrett, 3; scattering, 16.
AS soon as the result of this and the
election for the other officers was an
nounced Past Grand Prevaricator r.
H. Broadhead announced the names of
the successful candidates and also the
fact that there will be a public in
stallation of officers at the next regu-
lar meeting.
The new officers of the Ananias club
are as follows:
Grand prevaricator, Harry White;
deputy grand prevaricator, Teddy
Haupt; chief gaff wielder. E. H. Wiley;
assistant chief gaff wielder William
Kelley; keeper of the bait, John Nc
Cauley; recording scrivener, Lyle PEN
degast; keeper of the archives, Paul
Flammer; committee on award of med
ais, A. c. Harper, Edward Kern and
Charles Dixon.
Organization Is Prosperous
The annual reports of the officers
showed that the organization was in
most prosperous circumstances and had
a membership of 31S, and cash in the
treasury in real money and securities,
44,313.23
Attention was called to the fact that
more than 400 votes had been cast in
the election for officers, and with a
membership of only 31S. The inquirer,
who proved to be Sergeant Redmond,
was promptly squelched and advised
to post up on the ethics of the order.
He was fined $1.97 by the chairman
for interrupting the business of the
evening.
After all of the reports had been
acted on and the thanks of the MEM
bers had been given the officers for
the untiring and painstaking manner
in which they had performed their
duties, number of baskets, containing
refreshments of various kinds, were
passed around and the storytelling of
the evening began.
Harry White, the new grand prevari-
Gator of the club, was awarded the
only medal of the evening for simple
little narrative, which he told in ex-
PLANTATION of how he came to be a
fisherman.

CLOUDY SKIES SCARED
BUSTERS YESTERDAY

AS a consequence of the weepy skies
yesterday the bush league baseball dia-
monds, with a few exceptions, were
left to the fishes and water lilies.
In the Southern State league the
University MeIc chants and the YER
mons splashed through a game at Ag-
ricultural park with the result in favor
of the merchants by a score of 5 to 3.
The Dyas-CI.nes and Eagles had a
pleasant swim at Joy park, with the
Clines the best in the mud at to 3.
The game between the Nofsigers and
Lordsburg at Lordsburg was called off,
which goes to show that the dampness
also extended 10 the styx.
Yesterday was the first appearance
of the Southern State league teams
under the new schedule. By winning
their games the Dyas-Clines and Uni
versity Merchants share the advantage
of the top seat and the other teams
rank even on the bottom rounds.

Sporting Notes

Judging from the comments made in
Washington papers, 1t is very evident
that Joe Cantillon does not impress the
scribes of that town as being the great
est of managers. Far from it.
Howard II. Jones. end of last years
Yale football team, was appointed coach
for 1909 for the Syracuse university
football team. Jones will graduate this
year from the Sheffield scientific school
at Yale.
Catcher F. f. Bowerman is saying all
kinds of nasty things about Muggsy

by the New York club. Bowerman al
ways was a crab and a trouble maker
If he was not, McGraw would not have

BENEFIT GAME ON YESTERDAYS
CARD POSTPONED
DoubIe-Header Is Attraction for Fiesta
Park This Week-Game to Count
First on League
Schedule

Rain or shine the Thistle and Ranger
soccer football elevens will play the
benefit game next Sunday which was
scheduled for yesterday, but which was
postponed on account of inclement
weather.
Both teams appeared for battle at
Fiesta yesterday as advertised, but the
condition of the field was such that
play was impossible. Will Todd, the
clever goal keeper of the Rangers, jour
neyed clear from Redlands to support
his club and event wanted to splash the
game out through the artificial lakes
and swamps which had covered the
grounds.
The clubs practiced at Eleventh and
and succeeded in getting line on their
respective chances, although fast ac-
ton was hindered by a sloppy field of
mud. The Rangers have improved ma
terially in team work as the result of
steady work since their organization
and exhibit plenty of speed, which was
lacking in their former rehearsals. The
Thistles were handicapped by the nom
appearance of two of their men, but
otherwise showed the steady winning
form they have maintained during the
season.
The second elevens of the Ranger and
Los Angeles clubs will play prelimin-
airy game before the main beneht at
traction next Sunday. The second
elevens are but few points below the
headliners in class, so that both con-
tests of the charity attraction give
promise of being interesting.
A meeting of the Los Angeles Soccer
Football association will be held at
Mammoth hall tonight for the consid-
Grafton of important business concern
ing the league. The Rangers will hold
their regular meeting at the same place
on Wednesday night.
The entire proceeds of the contest be-
tween the Thistles and Rangers on next
Sunday will be given to destitute
family whose needs have been made
known to the league

SAD ROMANCE ENDS
IN LOVERS DEATH
PATHETIC LOVE STORY FINDS
"FINIs" IN RoSEDALE
Nova Scotia Girl in Los Angeles Dies
at Dawn, Following Demise of
Man to Whom She Was
Engaged

With the dawn of yesterday a ro-
nance that started in far-off Nova
Scotia was closed forever by the seal
of death, and the story of two young
lives remains but as memory of love
of troth plighted and of death, the
separating and-who knows ?-may-
haps the joining in another world.
Following just two months after the
death of her betrothed, Miss Anna
York quietly passed away yesterday at
the home of her brother-in-law and sis
ter, Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Cochran of
1851 West Forty-eighth street.
She had been i'll some time, and the
family came here for her benefit, but
too late She gradually grew weaker,
until the death of her lover, Victor
Jameson, two months ago, which
seemingly took away all of her desire
to live. She faded away slowly until
yesterday, when death came to take her
to her loved one.
Back in the old home in Nova Scotia
the young people plighted their troth,
and all seemed prosperous and happy.
But both were somewhat i'll and 1t was
decided that the sunny cline of the
southland would be beneficial, so the
young woman, with her brother-in-
law and sister, came TO Los Angeles,
followed by Mr.. Jameson.
All appeared to be Well FOR time,
but the old ailments took a fresh hold
and for the past few months both had
been bravely fighting against death,
until the young man died, and they
babe good-by to each other for the
last time on earth.
Yesterday morning Miss York Joined
her lover in the long slumber.
Funeral services will be held Tues
day afternoon at o'clock from the
chapel of Overholtzer & Mills, after
which the body will be placed by the
side of her lovers in Rosedale GENE
terry, and the two will be united at last
far from the land where each prom
ised the other love-ln anticipation OF
those sweetly solemn words, unit
death do us part'-little dreaming that
death would part them ere that happy
day, only to unite them in "bourr
from which no traveller returns"

treat in itself to see such good boys

Dixon's first setback took place in
this city at an exhibition gotten up by
w. H. Recap of the Public Ledger for
the double purpose of aiding the starv-
ing workmen of the Kensington district
and to revive boxing, which was tenn
norarily under the ban. Dixon volun-
teered his services and boxed Walter
Edeerton, the Kentucky rosebud. The
bout was supposed to be an exhibition
bout only, and, Dixon growing careless
the Rosebud slipped over punch
which laid the champion low. Dixon
and O'Rourke came from Boston &c
take part in the Bread Fund Show,
as 1t was called. They paid their owr
EXPENSES and would not accept a penny
for their work In travelling around
the country Dixon was advertised to
meet all corners and it often took clever
work on the part of O'Rourke to carry
out this bluff and not let Dixon box
