HARD YEAR ON
TEAM MANAGERS
The Big Baseball Days This
Year Fall on
Sunday

When the baseball schedule makers
start work on the dates for this season..
they will be confronted with a rather
funny proposition.
In 1909 the two big holiday events
OF year happen TO fan on Sunday. At
a glance Il would seem that this was
a rather bad thing for the baseball
moguls, but such is far from being the
case.
II is a rule that when a national hol-
iday falls on Sunday the following day
shall be the one recognized a the day
Of celebration. Thus baseball patrons
all over the country win celebrate the
Fourth of July by seeing two games
July 5.
Last year both dates happened TO fan
on a Saturday and as a result the own
ers Of the different clubs suffered quite
heavily. In baldom Saturday is always
good for a big crowd under any condi-
tions. In compiling the schedule. SAT-
urday and Sunday dates are always re-
garded as the choice plums Last year.
however. on two occasions. it was case
Of losing big crowds on Saturday because
the big holidays happened TO fall on that
day
As three OF the western cities, Chicago.
st, Louis and Detroit. play Sunday ball.
some rather unusual conditions are sure
TO arise in the western end Of the Ameri-
can League circuit.
No doubt Cleveland will get both these
holiday dates al home. IF the schedule
for next year is like the one Of previous
seasons It will mean a Jump from 81.
Louis to Cleveland, after playing i'm that
city Sunday Thus all four western teams
will be playing on July a. but in reality
they won't he playing the holiday games
until July g.
The schedule this year will he fat
one for the magnates. Just think OF the
coin they will take I'm Saturday, July 3;
Sunday, July g. and Monday July O. with
two games. ono In the morning and the
other in the afternoon.

THE MIDGETS GOT
TWO CIPHERS, ALSO

one Of tho fastest games Of polo
ever played by the junior clubs, was
between the Mohawks and Springs
Juniors and the Garage Midgets OF
Baltimore last night at Eleventh stree.
Rink. The youngsters showed remark
able skill in the way they passed the
ball That no goals were scored the
honor is due TO the fine work Of Goal
tenders West. Foulk and Lowe. and
also the fine support given them by
Halfbacks Hamil and McNey. The
game was interesting from start 70 fih-
ish. and all those present enjoyed the
game intensely.
When Il comes down to fine playing,
well. the Wilmington "Midgets" are
right on the Job and can give any
junior club in the country a warm
reception. for that is what the fellows
from the Ear Away Land" got. II
Il were told that the Baltimoreans
were baseball players II might be
easier to believe. for they batted the
ball around in great shape, trying to
put it into the cAge by flies. Say girls.
don't you think it is a shame they
didn't play longer? Why. the little
"Midgets" had hardly time TO look at
the ball. Too much credit must not
be given 20 the Wilmington boys, for
tho other fellows were right in the
game, and they didn't stop for any
thing. their speed was like lightning
and their shots like FIRE, but oh my.
those goaltenders. they will insist on
stopping the ball The Baltimore
youngsters were working hard for a
goal. many Of them were multiversart
at times. and some almost turned in
side out. Are the Wilmington boys
the only ones that prune the ball?, No,
we learned from last evenings game
that the visitors could do Il also. They
chop at IL with a graceful movement
sometimes cutting a slice out of the
red" Passing work was feature
of the game. and some quick work was
done. Coward and Pagan did some
very clever work. and it takes an eN-
traordinary lot Of practice to get ahead
of these two. they seemed 10 be right

Cloward made a pass, well, Pagan was
right there.

YOUTHFUL BURGLARS
COMMIT 2 OFFENSES
SAN PEDRANS SUFFER AT
HANDS OF BOYS
Residence Ransacked and VaIuabIes
StoIen-Man Searching for Shells
Is Robbed Of Case Contain
ing Jewels

SAN PEDRO, May 3.-Two youthful
burglars who yesterday afternoon rob
bed a dwelling at Point Firmin and
later stole a case containing jewelry
valued at $50 were apprehended this
morning and this afternoon were bound
over to the juvenile court by Justice
Henry Stieglitz.
After ringing the bell at the home Of
City Clerk Mason yesterday afternoon
the BOYS asked for a fictitious person,
and, knowing Mason and wife were
out, they waited until the girl left and
then forced an entrance. The house
was ransacked thoroughly and two
scarf pins, watch fob and some
money stolen.
The boys then went to the trail be-
yond the lighthouse, where j. Santos
had left his coat on a bench while he
searched for shells. Santos is a jew
elry trader and happened to have with
him a case containing several pieces
of jewelry.
The boys took these and disappeared.
The police of San Pedro and Los An
geles were notified and early this
morning Constable Carlson found the
boys here. All of the goods were found
in their possession except the money.
They admitted the theft and gave
their names and ages as Isadore Gold,
u years old, 649 Cornwall street. Los
Angeles, and Fernando Gonzales, 25S7
Malabar street, Los Angeles. Gold says
the larger boy was the leader but both
worked together in the two crimes.

ARROWHEAD ROAD TO

COUNTY SUPERVISORS ORDER
ORDINANCE DRAWN
Certain Restrictions Viii Be Attached
to Permission Giving Right to
Motorists to Use Noun
tain Highway

SAN BERNARDINO, May S.-The
board Of supervisors this morning out
lined the automobile ordinance which
that body will pass for opening the
Arrowhead road from the valley to the
summit of the San Bernardino range,
making it possible for machines to
make the trip as far as Little Bear
valley.
District Attorney w. e. Byrne has
been instructed to draft the ordinance
making it permissible for automobiles
to make the going trip at any time
from Wednesday noon until midnight
of that day, and from Saturday noon
until Sunday noon. The return trip
can be made during the time from Sun
day noon until Monday noon.
The ordinance also will provide that
automobiles using the road shall not
to exceed a speed of ten miles per hour
at any point beyond the Arrowhead
hotel.
Another provision will provide for the
keeping of book in which all machines
must be registered both going and COM
ing. The register will be kept by the
road supervisor, Joseph Wagner, who
lives at the toll house. The names of
the owner, driver and license number
of the auto must be included in the
record.
The ordinance will provide that any
violation will be a misdemeanor with
the punishment to be fixed by the state
law.
For months the owners of automo-
biles in Southern California have been
working to secure the privilege of using
the Arrowhead road. The supervisors
today acted favorably on an extended
petition received from automobile own
ers of Southern California.
