Los Angeles, S; Portland, 2

One more wrap on the second place.
The Angels administered one of the
old-time championship beatings again
to the Beavers at Chutes park yester-
day afternoon. and when it was all
over the fourth straight game of the
series had been annexed by the locals.
The victory of the locals in both of to-
days games win give them second
place by a scant nose, and therefore the
fans may expect two redhot sessions
when the two teams line up in the
morning at Vernon and in the after
noon at Chutes park.
This time the services of the gray
haired Angel chieftain were not
needed. Twice in the last two games
previous to yesterdays battle Captain
Dillon has entered the breach in the
critical moment, and once his timely
single won the game. But Maggie was
so good and his support was so fiawless
that there was never a moment when
the southern leader was needed on the
firing line. Therefore he sat on the
bench and offered sage advice while his
men went in and won.
The Portland men got only two runs
and the Angels secured five, all on
earned hits. In the fourth Johnson
scored on his walk, advancement on
Wheeler's error and Fishers hot single.
Johnson scored the second and last run
of the visitors in the sixth on his walk,
Mercedes single, an out and Speas'
sizzIer to left.
In the third Los Angeles took big
lead, getting three runs on as many
hits II. Smith singled to center, Maggie
engineered a safe bunt, Daily sacri-
feed and Goodwin singled infield, scor-
ing Hughie. In a mixup Maggie came
home from second moment later
when two Portland players dropped the
ball on attempts to catch him. BealPs
single brought over Goodwin.
In the fifth the Angels added two
clinchers. Daley doubled to left, Cod
win singled, scoring him, and took sec
ond on Ross sacrafice. A wild pitch
by Garrett permitted Goodwin to score
from second base.
Walter Maggie was in splendid form
throughout. Garrett started off well,
but was forced to go to the bench and
was replaced by Guyn in the sixth. The
tabluated score:

forces of the west. Berry is regarded
as the one man for the place, and the
sentiment though the north that al
ways endeavored to keep the position
in San Francisco, seems to be swing
ing in favor of the southern magnate.
Every coast league director, with two
exceptions, has agreed that Berry
would make a splendid leader. The
two exceptions are men who have not
been reached as yet.
Jack Burns was the most disap-
pointed man at Maud Junction over
his showing made against Jim Flynn
last Friday night. Burns never hit his
stride throughout the ten rounds. He
believed he could whip Flynn decis-
lively, but the fireman's PUSHES be,
wildered Jack and he fought dazed
battle. Doc Gene Jeffrey, his man
ager, will give Burns a rest of a few
weeks. for he believes it was too much
confinement to the strenuous and
wearing grind of camp life that was
responsible for Burns poor work. The
majority of the fans believe Jack can
put I'D a better battle than he dld
Friday night. In spite of the defeat
Burns, in his quiet way, asserts that
he believes he can whip Flynn In a
return match, but he is willing to
climb back by degrees. Doc Jeffrey. is
anxious to card his man for the Win
ner of the Geyer-W Willis fight, and VIII
Mace A $500 side bet back of the Sa-
iinas heavyweight. Jeffrey and Burns
win leave Monday for Salinas and san
Francisco.
Jim Barry sends greeting. Says he
has been working at Hot Springs on
the stage. doing a bag punching ana
a gymnasium stunt. Jim is getting
back into his old form at the springs
and will be back in Los Angeles WITH
in a fortnight. ready to meet any of
the heavyweights the Pacific Athletic
club may choose.

MIDWINTER LEAGUE
IN ACTION TODAY
All the Cities of Circuit Will Play
Baseball with the Exception
of San Diego

The opening games of the California
Midwinter league will be played today
in all the cities of the circuit with
the exception of San Diego, where the
season opened Saturday. The fans of
the southern city are enthusiastic to
a high degree over the league and
promise to turn out in large numbers
to support Manager Palmer in his eff
forts to bring another pennant to San
Diego The number of players of class
in the different clubs guarantees that
a high class article of ball will be pre-
sented, and, as the teams appear about
evenly matched, the race should be an
interesting one.
San Diego opened the season with a
big automobile parade, in which APP
peared the city officials and prominent
men of the city. Santa Barbara also
will show some class in this line Sun
day, an auto parade of large dimen-
sions being scheduled for the Channel
City opening. AS all the players Of the
various teams have not yet arrived,
the first few games will not show the
class that is expected as soon as all
the eastern players and Coast league
men arrive.
Charlie Hall of the Boston Amer
leans. and Felix Martinke of the YER
non club will be with the Maiers Sun
day after next and will be a big help
to Benkert's aggregation.
Dutch" Hendricks has returned to
Santa Ana from the northwest, where
he had a successful season, and ex-
poets to land the pannant for the
orange belt nine.
Following are the opening lineups
of the various teams:

~ TUNG into a reply to the fire.
~ quent criticisms hurled at him
~ because of his refusal to fight Ad
Wolgast for the lightweight champion
ship, Battling Nelson a few days ago
came back with an eVasive answer,
calling attention to his record in the
ring, and saying he would retire after
couple more fights, but declining to
explain his reasons for accepting a
theatrical contract instead of the
purse of $4,000 for his end, win, lose
or draw, to fight Wolgast. Nelson
cannot hope to make that sum in his
footlights engagement. He probably
will not make one-half that sum. But
he believes the public will stand for
the delay, and that when he is good
and ready to fight Wolgast, which
probably will be about next summer, if
at all, he can jump in and take his
big Slice and then, if defeated, retire
for all time with a comfortable COM
potency.
But many things may happen be-
tween now and next April, when the
theatrical tour ends But he may find,
also, that in that time public senti-
ment will have changed. His drawing
power, upon which he bases his de-
mand for so large a guarantee, may
have diminished, and Bat may be in
the position of a champion without
standing. The belief is growing that
Nelson fears defeat at the hands of
the sturdy little Milwaukee light
weight. The Los Angeles fans are
coming to the point wherein they are
strong in this belief, especially in
view of Nelson's showing during the
battle and the manner he sidestepped
a return match Immediately after

w. H. Berry, president of the Los
Angeles baseball team, will be sent to
the annual meeting of the directors of
the Pacific Coast league, which will
be held at San Francisco on Novem-
Der IA, solidly backed in his candi-
dacy for president of the league. The
southern fans are unanimous in their
desire to see Berry installed in the DO
sition of chief of the organized ball
