En- ell Institute Oftalmico de Pa
ris han celebrado sus profesores una
importante reunion para estudial
los medios de combatir una reciente
cnfermedad de la vista que desde ha
&C algdn tempo viene causandc
innumerables ylctinas
Dicho Institute, en- collaboration
con los afamados oculistas de Paris,
ha tornado una estadistica de las
personals que sufrian la aludida en-
fermedad, habiendo alcanzado las
clfras una Importance suma.
En- vista de la extraordinaria re-
peticion de tales casos, los oculistas
comenzaron q investigar las causaS
originarias de Ia enfermedad.
Los cstudios de observation die

De una manera evidente Sc com
prob6 que la enfermedad constitute
una affection a la vista que interesa-
ba la retina y cuya adquisicion pro-
venia de la contemplation de pelicu-
las cinematograficas.
Segdn la opinion de los medicos,
la trepidacion de Ia vista cinemato-
grraficas con la potencia de la luz
blanca para su proyeccion produce
cierta atreiia en- la retina hasta el ex-
tremo de que algunos segundos des-

dicado como linico rcmcdio para evil

NORTH PASADENA CLAIMS
RIGHT TO CHAMPIONSHIP
Crown City Boys Show Record of
Thirty Games Won Out of
Thirty=three

PASADENA, March 13.-With thirty
games won out of thirty-three played,
the semi-professional ball team OF
North Pasadena feels as though it has
a. right to claim the championship of
Southern California.
There is no question but that the
team has made remarkable showing
during the past season, and there Is
talk of a challenge being issued to the
Pasadena team in the Winter league
with a view to determining the cham
pionship of the city.
The contest, if it is arranged, will be
viewed with interest, as the North
Pasadena boys have maintained an al
most unbroken front throughout the
season and are now in the pink OF con-
dition.
There probably is no better pitcher
in Southern California than Smith,
while Thompson, the catcher, has. them
all beat when it comes to whipping
the ball about the bases to catch man
who has attempted steal.

BY JAY DAVIDSON

TN HE presence of Cap Dillon in the
game yesterday between the An
II gels and White Sox put new nte
into the Coast league terrors, ana they
evened up with the Sox for the defeat
of the previous day by beating tneln
. tn lin q fast and snappy game.
Both teams played errorless ball anu
the pitchers were on par WIN tnenl.
Koestner went back on the mound Ior
the Angels and was so effective IN tne
six innings that he pitched that the
Yannigans could do nothing with him.
getting only three hits and no runs
The Angels made their first run IN the
opening inning and added anotner III
the third. The Sox got theirs IN tne
seventh by sheer luck, and had koeSt-
ner stayed in the box II is propaoie l,,oi'5 eiiv
Sox would have drawn nine lovely
goose eggs for their portion OF the re-
suit, The Sox will wind up their south
ern trip today by playing double
header, taking on the Vernon outnt at
Southside park this morning, game pc
ing called at 1915 o'clock. and return
ing to the Chutes for a game with the
Angels in the afternoon, beginning at
2:30 O'Clock. The Yannigans go north
to begin their northern engagements
this week, and the regular White SoX
team will come to Los Angeles, OPEN
ing at the Chutes with the Angels next
Wednesday afternoon.
Manuel was sent into the box Tor the
Yannigans and was easy enough for the
Angels to make a pair of runs before
he retired in the fifth. The frst run
for the Angels was scored by Daley
He drew a pass was sacrlnced 10 sec
ond by Ellis, stole third and scored on
Dillon's long fly to right. The secono
run was made in the third inning by
a1c Fo1
feed to second by Koestner and scored
when Dillon singled to right. Ellis also
should have scored, but was caught
between third and home. The SoX
saved themselves from the Illumination
of a whitewash defeat by scoring once
in the seventh. Cowley having succeed
ed Koestner. Dalton walked, Badef
single and Olmstead's out.
The Angels quit scoring when Manuel
retired in the fifth. Olmstead took ms
place in the box and slung some funny
slants over the plate, yet ne gave tnree
hits in the four innings he pitched;;
while Manuel yielded only a pair ana
two runs. In batting, however, the
teams made a dead heat, as five hits
were registered by each team. All the
nitchers seemed to be in midseason
form and twirled in eilt-edge style.
It is particularly gratifying TO the
fans that the Angels are getting down
to real playing so early in the practlcS
neriod. All the boys played great ball
Yesterday and worked together, like a
bunch of veterans. Dillon was the pat
t,ne hero of the game, getting a pair
of bingles in three trials, and since the
Angels batted in enough runs to WIN
the fielding exhibition probably was the
feature of the game. Koestner was
most n1easant surprise to the fans in
his early recovery of that good form
which made him a favorite last season;
Cowlev also showed improvement and
NAV develop with more experience.
Hen Berry and Fred Maier nave
agreed upon one thing, and that Is 70

game of fifty points and one game VIII
be played each night until the schedule
is finished Six players will contest
for the honors in this tournament, the
winner being matched with Howard,
present champion for series of four
games of fifty points each for the un-
disputed title.
The hree-cushion billiard tourna-
ment for the annual championship or
the Los Angeles Athletic club will be
started Thursday night at the club
rooms and a full schedule Will be
ready for announcement that night.
Several entries already have been re-
ceived by Secretary Billy Henderson,
and the event, which is held annually,
promises to be a record breaker in the
history of the championship. All play
ers will play from scratch, the handi-
cap feature of former tournaments
having been cut out this time, so that
all players will meet on common
basis and win or lose on their merits.
Dick Williams. boss man of the Pas
adena stable, presented Jockey Ken
nedy with a diamond set locket ana
chain yesterday in appreciation OF the
excellent rides he put up on the VIII
liams horses last week. This boy is
the find of the season. He seems to be
an accomplished horseman, possessing
all the qualifications of great rider,
and since he has been riding with sue
cess he has been able to get mounts
that had a chance to win. Williams
certainly has developed crackerjack
rider.
Sam Hildreth will ship his entire
stable north in a few days and race
at Emeryville until the end of the
season, when he will ship to New York.
He will have two divisions of his
stable again during the summer, leav-
ing one division on the coast and send
ing the other east.

of the Judges at Santa Anita. When

Governor Critterden. who is Ken

wreath to Hughey Jones in a brief but

Wyatt carp. fight referee and
sportsman, was visitor at Santa
Anita yesterday. He is on his way to
Parker, Cal, where he has valuable
mining interests.
George Rose arrived yesterday from
Frisco and was on the block the first
| time in more than a week.
Nels Jones left Friday night for
Seattle, to begin his business career.
He will superintend the erection of the
$25O,00O hotel that he and his father

ing the ponies, Nels will extend the
glad hand and welcome the guests at

furnish the opportunity. During the
regular season sunday morning games
will be played regularly. and since con-
tinuous baseball Is to be depended upon
the patronage the fans extend the two
teams this season, it is particularly de-
sired that the cranks form the habit
now, instead of waiting for the regular
season. The Vernon team has lost only
one of the many games played during
the practice season, and the fans should
encourage the boys with good attend
ance. Anyway, there are so many new
faces on exhibition on the Vernon team
that the fans should go out and get
acquainted.
Following are the score and summary
of the game yesterday:

Jockey Aubuchon was suspended ior
siv days by Starter Hoffman for dis
obedience at the post in the first race.
Auby's troubles began when he left
the paddock. Judge Hamilton called
him over and told him to ride LORD
Nelson down home in front or take the
consequences. There were no conse-
ouences, as Lord Nelson simply
hreezed all the way.
