PASADENA, Baseball association Is
$25 poorer as a result of its inabil-
Il ity to get it's grounds completed IN
time for the first scheduled game with
the Hoegees, which should have been
played off last Sunday. In case the
day a similar fine will be imposed and
the team also has good chance OF
being dropped from the league unless
other directors can be convinced that
the fans of the Crown city mean busl-
ness and that the city will let the work
go on.
The postponement of last Sunday
will have to be played off some Satur-
day, and if the park is completed be-
fore next Saturday double header
will be arranged to get up with the
schedule. Manager Dexter reports that
financial affairs are in satisfactory
condition. The failure to complete the
park is due mainly to contractors.
Word was received from the home of
Catcher Eagle yesterday that he was
resting well. He fractured his left leg
on the South Side Athletic club diamond
last Sunday and will be unable to be
out for three weeks. 1t was whispered
aroud amateur circles yesterday that
picked clubs from the Association
league and the various miscellaneous
teams for which he has caught would
play a benefit game for him in the near
future at Chutes park.
Cyrus Moreing, jr., manager of Stock
ton club, says that the California state
league will remain in the outlaw
division another year at least.
Hoegee baseball team indulged in
fast practice last Sunday morning on
the Chutes park diamond and in the
afternoon Bill Goodman and family
went to a theater.
The Neidmore baseball team will give
a dance next Saturday night at their
hall. First and Rose streets, for the
purpose of raising funds to purchase
new uniforms.
One of the largest crowds that ever
entered Joy park was recorded last
Sunday. According to close friend of
/ S. Allen, he stated that there were
$500 persons present when the Los An
geles team and Giants played, that 1000
fans paid admission to the park and
that S14OO was taken in at the gate

San Bernardino, Orange county and
San Diego, and IL present arrange
ments go through, there will be crack
runners from Stanford and Berkeley.
Dewitt c. Van Court, who will man
age the race, already has made prelim-
mary arrangements for having the road
patrolled by the Vaquero club and other
riding clubs Of Los Angeles. Secretary
Henderson of the Southern California
Marathon association will have charge
of the entries to the race and will re-
ceive them as early as November 2S
While no definite action has been taken
as vet by the officers of the Marathon
association, it is expected that the as
ISOLATION will announce that under no
consideration will entries be received
for the race later than December 70,
thus allowing ample time for the Of
ficers to arrange numbers and other de-
tails before the day of the race.
The club will be represented in the
local baseball world this winter by a
crack team, which already is being or
ganized among the members. 1t is no
idle beast on the part of the club Of
ficials that the basketball team will be
able to give cards and spades to many
local teams Among the candidates
who have responded to the call to
make the team are many former east
ern college players, several of whom
received their college letters in basket
BALL The members from whom the
team will be picked are Dick Retzer,
George Parker, Gordo Whalen, Jack
Watlington, Ben Watlington, Chester
Moore, Lou Guernsey, Maurier, Walker,
Farrell, Hahn and Ray Dunnigan.
No more interesting or beneficial
game than handball. from an athletic
point OF view, ever was introduced into
the club. From early morning until
late at night there scarcely is an inter-
val OF ten minutes between games.
HandbalI requires diligent practice on
the part OF the player before he can
make his debut into the class of cham
nions at the club. BY the time the
next handbau tournament begins it is

If arrangements can be made with
the Naples team the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club ball tossing aggregation VIII
play there next Sunday. Every mem
ber of the club is requested to accom-
pany the team to Naples, and IN addl-
tion to witnessing the baseball game
they will be treated to an exhibition OF
rowing by the club crew that alone
should be well worth the trip Coacn
Treloar will have the crew out at 10
O'Clock Sunday morning and again In
the afternoon. Few, if any, of the
members have seen the crew in action
since they started the present training
routine, and they no doubt will be sur
prised at the progress that AIS huskles
have made since the race at San Pedro.
Under Treloar's expert handling, the
crew, which Is composed of Jim Rout-
zhan, George Isaacs, e. B. Lewis e. Il.
Derby and Loeb, and George Retzer as
substitute, came to hand early ana
authorities venture the opinion that the
four even now would rival the best OF
the Pacific coast crews and likely will
carry off the honors Thanksgiving day.
OF the men occupying seats in the crew
there is none who has not had valuable
experience in regatta racing. Coach
Treloar has had hard work ana the
men are in excellent condition.
One of the members of the club has
volunteered to arrange club yell,
copy of which will be distributed to
each member; He will be requested to
memorize it and use it to good effect
on the morning of Thanksgiving day to
cheer the blue and white oarsmen to
victory. A yell leader will be elected
from the members, but he no doubt
will require the services of about 800
pairs of lungs for an indefinite period.
So fall in line, youse, guys.
The members of the Marathon COM
mittee met yesterday and compiled
formal letter of invitation, with an
official entry blank, which will be
mailed to all the athletes of Southern
California, asking them to enter the
second semi-annual Marathon race
which will be held under the auspices
of the club during the forenoon OF New
Years day. Within the past few weeks
Assistant Secretary Henderson has
been besieged by many local runners
who desired information regarding the
next race Ed Dietrich, winner OF the
first Marathon race to Venice, has sig
nified his intention to run in the next
race, which proved to be one or the
greatest athletic events that ever was
pulled off in Southern California
The members of the club who enter
the race will be a far speedier bunch
of runners than those who ran in the
first race. The majority of the boys
either were undertrained or overtratned
last September, due principally to the
fact that they were ignorant entirely or
long distance running and had only
two weeks in which to train. Every
college and school in Southern Califor-
MIA will have 81 runner in the next
race including schools OF Redlands'

PALMIST ATTEMPTS

OCEAN PARK, Nov. 9.-Prof. Kree-

jumping from the pier. He was rescued
and taken home by Deputy Sheriff Nc

more than likely that a few surprises
will be sprung upon the old timers
Members who last spring were con-
sidered "dubs" at the game are putting
up a game at the present time that
would make the best of the boys hop
around a bit. Many of the newcomers
have a serve that is puzzler ana
peculiar, in many cases, to the charac-
teristics of the individual who is serY-
ing the ball.
Henderson sends a ball with the ac-
curacy of long practice into the left
hand corner He has so mastered the
serve that 1t strikes between the two
walls and 1t takes great practice on
the part of the opponent before he is
able to hit the ball before 1t dies"
Parker serves a straight ball, which is
not so hard to get at, but he keeps his
opponent on the go and usually is sue
cessful in tiring him out. Witt serves
a sort of zigzag ball, as irregular in
it's movements as was his mustache in
its length. Copp's style of serving is
similar to that of Reynolds, in that it
hits the back wall almost invariably.
There is no try at science in it, all
though 1t is effective. Copp, however,
is far outclassed by Reynolds when 1t
comes to killing" although it is s.
question whether any player I'm the
club can kip a ball as scientifically
as Reynolds, the curly haired blond.
Pete Horsch also must be figured
among the comers, although he has not
yet succeeded in defeating Lawrence,
the acknowledged dub"
Copp and Witt yesterday afternoon
defeated Nest and Henderson in two
out of three games of double handball.
The margin of Victory was slight.
Sam Coulter will delay his departure
for. the north until Wednesday morn
ing, as he is anxious to witness the
heayyweight battle at the Vernon
arena, which win be pulled off this
evening.

California Winter league stated last
night that at the next regular meeting
of the league directors he would re-
sign the position of secretary of the

There will be a meeting of the Sub
urban league directors tomorrow night
at the Currier building. All managers
are requested to be present, as mat
ters of great Importance will be dis
cussed.
Jack Doyle of the South Side Athletic
club rises to remark that there is no
truth in the statement published in an
evening paper to the effect that he re-
fused to give the clubs in the California
Winter league guarantee to play on
his diamond. Doyle says Manager
George M. Ward of the Edison team
is mistaken in his remarks about Civ
ing guarantee. 1 always have done
the right thing by the California VIM
ter league, but when the directors
schedule a game at the eleventh hour,
to be played on the diamond l am man
ager of, there is nothing doing"

Work of Repair,

GREAT FALLS Mont, April 16-The
flood waters from Lake Hauser dam have
reached and lare passing here without in
flicting any great damage, the dynamite
deepened channel of the river having
proved of sufficient size TO carry the flood
quite satisfactorily. General Manager
Goodale of the Boston & Montana com
pany is authority for the statement that the
large smelling plant will suffer absolutely
no injury.
The situation at Craig is one Of great
seriousness The flood has resulted in the
practical destruction OF the town and its
100 or more Inhabitants have formed
temporary refuge on one OF the hlllsides.
With the exception OF the school house,
practically every business house has been
destroyed. 1t is impossible to estimate the
loss OF panchmen, many of whose herds,
buildings and haystacks were washed away.
Already the work Of repairing the dam has
begun. General. Manager Gerry estimates

RUSSIANS INVADING PERSIA
Troops Cross Frontier to Punish Kurds
who Attacked Town of
Beleusvar.

TITLES. Transcaucasia, April 16.-Rus-
sian troops have invaded Persian territory
in the vicinity of Lenkoran, a port on the
Caspian sea, for the purpose OF furnishing
Kurdish raiders. This step was taken in
consequence of the renewal of the attack
upon the Russian garrison at BeleuEvar, a
frontier post. The trouble began April u
when a detachment of Russian troops from
Beleusvar met a band of Kurdish brigands
and lost several men in the subsequent
fighting, The brigands also suffered. They
prepared to attack Beleusvar in force in
revenge for their treatment by the Rus
sian soldiers. and they descended on the
garrison in large numbers.
Orders were issued for the garrison. which
is supported by artillery to enter Persian
territory and punish the Kurds. The Rus
SLAMS in force then crossed the frontier
and destroyed several villages. They also
scattered the Kurds, who numbered in all
about 1900.
According to the latest reports received
at Titles, the Russians are still continuing
their advance.
The people OF Beleusvar have telegraphed
TO St. Petersburg appealing for immediate
protection. Cossacks have been sent into
the districts to preserve order The whole
Of the frontier is In state of alarm.

cratic celebration did not learn until 2
o'clock this morning that the democratic

ternon refused to endorse his candidacy
for the presidential nomination When
told of the comttee's refusal he was visibly
surprised and declared that It would have
been well within the province of the com

this connection he pointed out that the

dorSed Governor Johnson.

Committee Reports Adversely ON
Property Limitation of
Members.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-. April i6.-(Spe-
cial relcgram)-At the afternoon business
session Of the Conference Of the Heorgan-
izcd Latter Day Saints today number OF
reports in the nature of routine business
were listened TO. Among others was a re-
port from the general bishoptic. to whom
had been referred the resolutions on tenn
poral equality attempting to fix stand
ard OF wealth said standard OF wealth to
be the same as is virtually maintained by
the missionaries, who have for their family
an allowance OF Sl7 per month for wife
and Sc for each child. The bishupric re-
ported adversely to the adoption of these
resolutions, claiming that they would prove
a barrier and not a help to the financial
department; that such resolutions are not
in harmony with the law Of Christ or the
books of the church. The bishoprcs report
stated that the law of the church provides
for the apportionmcnt Of stewardships, such
stewardships being such as to develop to
the fullest extent possible the talents Of
each individual to produce for the good OF
society
Following the reading OF this report
number of young men were ordained to
various offices in the church. The follow
ing were ordained to high priests the or
dinaton being performed by members of
the quorum OF twelve apostles: Harry L.
French of Columbus, o.. Sidney Pitt, sr.,
Of Mondamin Ia; J. A. Becker of Deloit
o.; Myron E. Fisher OF Boston, Mass;
John d. Suttill Of Providence. r. I. The
following were ordained to the quorum of
seventy by, the same members of the
quorum OF twelve Bitrch whiting of Be
midi Mimi; L. G. Holloway of Lamont;
Johnson Hay OF Oklahoma. j. f.. Wilder
muth of Wisconsin, j. r. Hackett of Wis
consin John c. Fairfield of Ohio. James
f. Kelley of Lamont, Ia, and Reese Jen-
kins of Ohio f. G. Hedrick of Kansas
was ordained to be president of the first
quorum of elders, and Earl ID. Bailey OF
Tulsa, Okl., as first counselor to the prcsl-
dent of the first quorum of elders The or
dinations were performed amidst greatest
solemnity and the saints seemed to attach
great deal of sacredness to this matter
The matter of procedure in church courts
was taken up and the dullest of routine
work was gone through with, adopting it
paragraph by paragraph. with such amend
ments as were proposed. The document
was not finished, but will be taken up to-
morrow.
Preaching in the auditorium tonight was
by Elder William Davis of Michigan. At
the same hour a meeting was held in the
basement Of the church. which was at
tended by the active missionaries OF the
church. and the subject of advertising their
work was discussed. 1t was in the nature
of an experience meeting.
1t is expected by, many of the delegates
that tomorrows session will close the con-
ference, though some of the officials are
inclined to think It WIN take until Saturday
to close conference business.

SUNDAY CASE JURY DISMISSED
Judge POrterfieId Immediately Begins
Trial of Another Defendant
on Same Charge.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. April 16.-Notwith-
standing Judge Portsrfield in his instruc-
tons had said plainly the Sunday law had
been violated, the jury in the first theatrical
case to be tried here, stood ten for acquit-
tai and two for conviction After remain
ing out ten hours they reported inability
to agree and were discharged late last
night.
This result in the first of the 1900 cases
growing out of the indictments brought
following Ju1ge william II. wallace's cam
paign for law enforcement. will doubtless
have an importaRt bearing on those yet
to be tried. Tn Judge Porterfield's court
to which dozen cases had been trans
ferred by Judge Wallace, eight other in
dicted theatrical men will be tried imme-
diately. Three had previously been dis
missed for lack of evidence.
The case of Martin Lehman, manager
of the orpheum theater. charged with per-
mitting his theater to run on Sunday was
begun when court orened today. A Jury
was imnTediately seeprea and the taking of
evidence was beguns,
But two witnesses were examined when
the defense moved that the case be dis
missed for lack of evidence. Judge Por-
terrified so ordered and the case ended
abruptly. The witnesses had testified that
they saw Lehman at the theater on the
Sunday in question, but were unable to
state positively whether or not he was
managing the house
After the discharge of Lehman, a third
case was called, that Of a ticket seller
charged with selling tickets on Sunday.
