WHERE TO FISH

Anglers have not been rewarded by
many record breaking catches during
the past week, although many nice
fish have been taken. Local fisher
men may cheer up somewhat over the
fact that the gany spotfn croaker has
begun to take the bait freely, MANY
large specimens of this fish having
been taken. Outside fishing is poor,
but few yelloWtail being evidence.
There are, of course, plenty Of albi-
core with an occasional jew fish. Fol-
lowing are the names OF the beach
towns and cities, together with the va
rieties of fish running at each one:
BaIboa-Croaker in the bay, many
small bass, with surf very scarce.
NeWport-A few yellowtail are being
taken from the freight wharf Tomcod
are in abundance, with an occasjonai
perch and Jacksmelt on the outer end
Of the pier.
Huntington Beach-Fishing is not SO
good at this beach as during the pre-
Vious week. There are still a few surf
being taken with yellowfn toward
evening.
sunset-Usual run of small fish and
nipper surf.
Bay City and Alamitos Bay-Best
- ACtNAA~i AiSAli1 Us VI tie EIdSI mere. BASS,
yellowtin, kfnghsh, with a few surf

San Pedro-Excellent croaker fishing.
of the fish being very large. Bass
along breakwater.
Redondo-Small bait fish have left.

biting and better fishing is looked for.
Hermosa Beach-Fishing very poor
at this point.
Manhattan Beach-OccasionaI surf

MccREDlE SHRlEKs FOR HELP IN
THE SEVENTH
Game Is Called In That Inning with
Score II to "On Account of
Darkness" Though Light
Is Strong

PORTLAND, Oct. 15.-After the
lowly Vernonttes had rollicked around
the Portland diamond for seven shrek
ing innings, outplaying the locals,
making them appear like a bunch of
sand lot performers, and giving the
league runners up one of the worst
trimmings they have sustained this
season, Manager McCredie called for
help, and the umpires obligingly called
the game at the end of the seventh
"on account of darkness" though it
was light enough to play a full hour
after the game had been stopped. 1t
was a sorry showing that the Beavers
made against Hogans men, who
raped Garrett out of the box in the
third inning and gave his successor,
Chenault, a fearful beating Off three
hits the southerners scored three runs
in the second, and as a sample of what
followed they annexed six runs off four
hits and a few errors in the sixth.
This was what broke the McCredie
spirit and caused the issuance Of the
plea for assistance. The score:

STANFORD AND BERKELEY
PLAY ANNUAL GAME TODAY
Sixteenth Annual Meeting of Baby
Teams of Two Universities VIII
Be Held at Berkeley

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal,
Oct. 15.-Stanford freshmen are ready
for the sixteenth annual contest with
California, which will take place to-
morrow on the athletic field at Berke-
ley. Great confidence is expressed by
the members of the team that they
will be able to break the long string
of defeats and bring the freshman
pennant home with them. The pres
ent fifteen is the best team turned out
in recent years, and every man is
trained u the hour.
Enthusiasm ran high last night at
one of the largest and most success
full rallies ever held before a fresh
man game, and a large delegation will
accompany the team to Berkeley to-
morrow. The team had a few minutes
practice tonight, putting the finishing
touches on it's work, and appearing

DETROIT, Oct. 15.-The seventh and
championship series between Pittsburg
and Detroit will be played here to-
morrow, weather permitting.
Indications are that the weather to-
morrow will be the worst of the Sc
ries. Tonight it was raining and al
most showing, and the thermometer
near the freezing point.
Reserved seats were put on sale to-
day and a wild rush for them ensued.
Long lines of people extended from the
ticket windows and waited for hours.
The pitchers probably will be George
Mullin for Detroit, and Charles Adams
for Pittsburg. Each has won two
games in the series.
Adams defeated Mullin in the OPEN
ing game, but poor fielding behind
Mulltn contributed to the defeat as
Mullin held Pittsburg to one hit less
than was made by Detroit off Adams
Teh two contesting teams in the
worlds championship series spent the
day preparing for the crucial game to-
morrow which will decide the base
balt championship of the world. Both
teams had a, hard session at practice
in Bennett park.
The injured men of the Detroit
team were all improved today. Tom
Jones, who was the most seriously in
jured, insisted on going out to the
park, although he took only the light
est kind of practice. His physician
does not believe the Detroit first base
man will be able to play tomorrow, as
he fears a reaction because of Jones'
restlessness.
George Moriarity and Charles
Schmidt were able to get around with
some degree of agility, and both are
confident they will be able to play in
the biz game.

Year 1903

SEATTLE, Oct. 15.-Bringing sos
passengers and $1,OOO,0Oo in gold, the
steamer Victoria arrived today from
Nome with the first of the influx of
operators who furnished the first au-
thentic news of the gold production

after trying unsuccessfully to solve it.
Spider was awfully good yesterday.
In the first inning Baum struck out
three men without winking. Daley
Goodwin and Ross all famed the air
1t was a surprised trio that trotted into
the field for the opening of the second.
Lengthy Myers of Sacramento had
berutiful hitting eye yesterday. He
secured four hits in his first four ap-
pearances, the last one his triple,
which was the longest swat of the day.
1t was an off day for the Angels
catchers. Rather, it was hospital day.
Orendorff had to retire from the game
in the third inning when he was hit
on two fingers of his right hand by a
foul tip. He was replaced by Hughie
Smith, and the clever youngster re-
ceived several applications Of the ball
on the shins, as well as being hit by
a pitched ball in the arm while bat
ting.
Balloon day was celebrated by both
Hatch and Thorsen. The Elliott boy
had bad day, but the best of them
sometimes slip UP.
Tom Daley seemed to be playing
center, left and right field during the
greater part of the game. It has
grown noticeable in the last two weeks
that Daley has been called upon to go
after balls that the other outfielders
have been loafing on. Ross is the par
ticular offender. He should have had
two balls yesterday that he allowed
Daley to handle, on one of which Daley
made a long run and a great try only
oreceive an error. Ross needs a lit
tie ginger or a long rest. 1t is up to
him which it shall be.
Things are going so peacefully with
the umpires. We'll only whisper this,
in order that the luck won't change.

tell James Coffroth, the San Fran

Jem Driscoll will be here later and

But the principal business that

arrives Coffroth will submit his offer
which some profess to believe will be
in the neighborhood of $4,000, and If
it is acceptable final articles can be

Polytechnic high schools crack bas-
ketbalI quintet took another game yes
terday in the Twelfth street gymna-
stun, defeating South Pasadena by the
score of 10 to Il. The game was the
fastest and snappiest that has been
played this season.
In the first half the Mechanics took
q lead which they continued to hold
till the final whistle. Art Record of
the Poly five played a phenomenal
game at forward and commanded his
team in veteran style. After a siren
uous twenty-minute half the score
stood u to 6, with the Mechanics lead
ing.
The final half was more hostly con-
tested, both teams fighting for every
point which they captured. Foster of
South Pasadena showed up remarkably
we'll during this half and started d
rally which scored five points within
two minutes, but the Mechanics failed
to give up the lead and the game
ended with Poly ahead.
A great deal of school spirit was
shown by the Polytechnic students,

BETTING IS PECULIAR

coffroth Takes Charge
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-The
disquieting rumor that tomorrow S
championship fight between Jack
johnson and Stanley Ketchel might
be declared off because of a dispute
over the $4,000 side bet agitated the
pugilistic world for the greater part
of today, but the official announce
ment of Promoter J. w. Coffroth that
he has taken possession of the $4,000
staked by the two principals in the
match has ellayed all fears of the bat
tie not taking place according to
schedule.
It is believed the trouble was due
to the refusal of the appointed stake
holder to continue in that capacity
This refusal is said to have been
caused by a fear of legal complca-
tions, for by the terms of the new anti
betting law in this state it is felony
for anyone to act in the capacity of
a stakeholder when a bet is made. Not
withstanding this, Coffroth took charge
of the money and gave each of the
fighters a receipt for his share. There
Is no doubt but that the side bet will
stand as originally maGe.
Transfer Side Bet
When the local newspaper man who
was holding the stakes after they were
transferred from New York, where
they were first posted announced his
dissemination to lay himself liable to
an infraction of the anti-betting law, a
dispute arose between Willis Britt,
representing Ketchel, and Johnson as
to the proper person to whom the
money should be transferred Johnson

of pocketing the whole amount at the
end of the fight, and the matter finally
ended by Coffroth taking the money.
which he deposited with business
man to the credit of the two prin-
cipals in the match.
With the dispute over the side bet
out of the way nothing is likely to
interfere with the fight. Weather
conditions alone can prevent it, for the
Sunshine arena" has no cover over it.
but the prediction for clear weather
has been made, and it is believed that
Coffroth will have his usual good luck
in this respect.
To Go Twenty Rounds
The fight is scheduled for twenty
rounds and will begin at p. M, after
two ten-round preliminarles. Jack
Welsh will be the referee.
The betting continues 10 to that
Johnson will win, and even that he
will knock out Ketchel in less than
fifteen rounds. In spite of predictions
to the contrary, there was no rush of
Ketchel money today to raise the odds,
and the pool rooms still hold enough
coin to keep the odds stable for some
time.
Considera BILE money was wagered to-
day on the fifteen-round proposition.
Both fighters came out today with
the usual statements of condition, con-
fdence and plans of campaign they
will pursue in the ring. Neither man
had anything to say on the side bet
controversy nor has any authoritative
statement on the subject been forth
coming from any of the fight officials.
