FISHINGAND HUNTING

Judging from the business done yes
terday by the local sporting goods
houses in guns, ammunition and game
bags and the statements made by hum
dreds of these customers, Los Angeles
almost is threatened with depopulation.
as everybody seems to be going dove or
deer hunting with the breaking of the
dawn. The dove known in Biblical
history as the emblem of peace, is to
become the cause of an immense lot of
noise, such as the popping of guns and
the cries of delight or disappointment,
as the case may be, but, judging again
from the way many of the buyers of
guns handled the instruments in the
examining process, there almost will
be as many doves October 10 as there
are today. (Knocker).
Doves are rather plentiful this year.
and the best hunting ground would
seem to be in the vicinity of Wineyille,
near Ontario. The country around Lam
caster and the San Fernando valley
also is reported as being plentifully
supplied with dove and cottontails.
Puente hills, which lie east of La
Habra, and the Coyote hills, between
Whittier and Fullerton. will be the
Mecca of many hunters of the feathery

was out of the game for a considerable
length of time, but when he got in
action he esta blished an enviable rec
ord for himself. His playing was of
such excellence as to attract the atten-
ton of the moguls of the big leagues,
and as a consequence he was drafted
by the st. Paul team of the American
association. About one week later
Comiskey of the White Sox got his
clamps" on him and made an offer of
$500 for his release by the st. Paul
management. There is no doubt that

failing to secure this prize from the
baseball ranks of Southern California
Jess Stobal of the same aggregation
is playing a great game for the st.
Louis team. 1t seldom is true that Jess
does not bat over 300 in game. Dur
ing the early part of the season the ST.
Louis management put Stobal upon
the mound, and, to tell the truth Jess
won the big majority of his contests
once letting his opponents down with
out hit or run. The team will receive
the benefit of his batting, as he hit the
sphere at percentage of 81. Another
good in an eastern association is
Downie, the former second baseman of
the Pickwfck team. He has been as
ISOLATED with the Kansas City team in
the American association.
There is no doubt that Antry will
sever his connection with the Omaha
team and will go either to an Aneri-
can or National league club next sea-
son.
At q meeting of the Southern State
league last night, held at 224 South
Spring street. the Christopher-Levys
team sent in its resignation. The Pico
Heights club and the Riveras were adj
mitted into the organization. The Pico
Heights club will take the place of
the Christopher-Levys, while the Ri
veras will fill the place of the San die
COS in the schedule. The games sched-
uled for next Sunday at JOY park are
as follows: Dyas-Clines VS.. Picos, game
called at o'clock; Eagles VS.. Riveras;
Shamrocks and the HOLSTERS will try
conclusions at the same park. The
acceptance of the Dolgeville club was
laid over for one week.
1t is not a we'll known fact, yet true,
that another league recently has been
formed by j. s. Allen. 1t will be
four-club organization, with the Hoo
siers, Shamrocks, Water company and
Rovers to start off. Mr.. Allen was in
strumental in bringing these teams to-
gether and to show his craftsmanship
he has given permission to these teams
to play upon the Joy park diamond.
The clubs at the present time stand as

RACE WHITNEY DIES
IN SALT LAKE CITY
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SALT LAKE, July 14.-Race Whit
ney, son of Orson Whitney one of the
twelve apostles of the First Church of
Latter Day Saints, died in Salt Lake
City tonight.
Whitney returned to this city from
Los Angeles, where he went about a
year and a half ago, in a broken down
condition. He was in a hospital in
that city for some time, where his
death was hourly expected for several
weeks.
Whitney was well known as a writer
of dramatic sketches and also as a
comic writer. Several of his farces
met with considerable success. He was
a popular newspaper man and had
hundreds of friends in Salt Lake and
elsewhere.
His wife, to whom he was married
in this city, is a prominent actress,
we'll known in the east.
Whitney was a son of one of the
most prominent families in Utah, and
a graduate OF the state university.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been announced.
Race Whitney, who spent a year in
Los Angeles, was we'll known in this
city. He was the author of several
sketches, produced by local minstrel
talent, and at different times was ems
ployed on several newspapers, where
he was we'll liked.
He was confined for several week in
the California hospital. Later he re-
covered sufficiently to be sent home,
and it was hoped he would recover.
