FREELY AROUND REDLANDS

REDLANDS, July 1S.-Reports of
three more deer killed in the local
mountains have been brought back by
hunters who are beginning to arrive
from the distant sections of the noun
tains, the best hunting grounds. Charles
Lul1ens, who owns an apple ranch at
Oak Glen, killed two bucks on the ridge
near Whitewater and c. r. Kirkpatrick
got a buck ten minutes after he started
hunting Thursday morning in the Sugar
Loaf country. Frank OWeger also Sc
cured one in this section, and it is re-
ported other hunters secured game, but
they have not returned from camp yet
and no definite news has been received.
The hunting is proving as good as in
recent wears in the local mountains
Dove hunting Is proving excellent in the
Yucaipa and Moreno valleys and in San
Timoteo canyon. Many local hunters
have secured the limit in a short time
The bags of game brought back show
that the dove season opens too early
however, as several of the birds are
Young and not much more than half

WelIingtons Lost Out

In one of the fourth scheduled games
of the Southern State league series,
played yesterday afternoon at Athletic
park, on Boyle Heights, the Hermosas
won from the Wellingtons by score
of 6 to 2. The game was a close one
as far as fielding and hitting were
concerned, but punched hits won the
game for the Hermosas The losers
laid their defeat to Dopey Ramsey,
the umpire, whom they claim made
several decisions which bordered on
weed-league baseball. The tabulated
score shows that it was a very even
affair with the exception of the second
inning. when the Hermosas gathered
four runs off three hits. Pima pitched
a good game for the Wellingtons, as
did Coats for the losers. The former
struck out eight men and the latter
seven, and both allowed six hits.
How easy it is to lose an easy game
when the umpire is against you" says
Manager Mecarter of the losers. He
explains his belief that it was lack
of knowledge rather than intent on
the part of the umpire. Harris of the
winners and Buhle of the losers were
the heaviest hitters of the day. Score:

the leaders in the Southern State league
yesterday by defeating the Market Ma
tonals in a regular scheduled contest
on the country diamond by the score
of 8 to 2. The game was a slow one,
but full of interest, although the win
ners found Drown easy and were in
no danger of being headed at any stage
of the game Drown was wild at times
and walked five men during the after
noon, but he struck out six men in
the six innings in which he officiated.
-Four wild pitches were accounted to
him, and the winners pounded him for
ten hits, which were nicely punched.
Meyers, pitcher for the Gardena team,
was steady throughout, showing excel
lent control and allowing only five
scattered hits. Five errors were made
by the losers and three were chalked
up to the winners. Two fast double
plays were made by the winners in the
eighth, the plays reading Bouett to Nc
Troy and Meyers to Simmis to Gabe.
The result of this game which is the
fourth in the league schedule placed the
Gardenas ahead of the Market Nation
ais, who drop one step below, and the
country team stands among the top
teams, having lost but one game out of
the four played. Following is the score:
