MIGHT BASEBALL TO
Be TRIED AT CHUTES
Seals and Angels Will Meet Under
Arc Lights - Dlcks Ferris Is
Planning Big Benefit
Affair

"Night baseball" an innovation tried
several times this season with fair sue
cess in the east, will be giVen~a a try out
a week from tonight at Chutes park.
San Francisco and Los Angeles, the
two bitter rivals of old for Coast
league honors, will meet in an exhibit
ton game at Chutes park. The game
will be an Elks' benefit affair, ar
ranged to aid in procuring funds to
send representatives to the Portola
week festivities in San Francisco. The
game with the San Francisco team was
arranged as a special feature, and the
Coast league schedule was altered to
make the meeting possible.
Dick Ferris, actor and sportsman,
will have charge of the arrangements.
There is no more enthusiastic booster
for such an event than the genial Dick,
and he is being ably assisted by Henry
Berry of the Angels and several base
ball followers.
In addition, several match races be-
tween members of the two teams,
among which are a half dozen sprin-
ters who won fame in their colleges,
have been planned for. Howard, Jud
Smith and Tom Daley of the Angels,
and Zeider of the Seals, are among
those who probably will take part The
grounds will be amply Illuminated.
Ferris has arranged for enough light
to flood the field and grandstand, and
enable the spectators to watch the
game as carefully as they can at day
light contest. A regular admission
rate will be charged.

AFTER BIG MONEY

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The hope of
James ]. Jeffries that some one would
with Johnson for the heavyweight
championship OF the world, as cabled
from Paris, indicates to New York S
sporting men that the two fighters in
tend to get all the money possible out
OF theirncontest. California and Neva-
da are the only places in this country
where such a fight could be held, and
neither can pay $150,000 for a fight.
Sporting men say that New York or
Chicago might be able to pay such an
enormous purse if fighting were per-
mitted in either city. 1t is even doubt
ed if London or Australia could offer
such a stake. There is a general belief
here that Jeffries will fight in California
and that the purse will be something
like 100000.

OXY SCRUB ELEVEN
DEFEATS SANTA ANA
Pickup Team Wins from High School
Lads by Score of 18 to 0 in
Opening Clash of South
ern Schools

A team composed of scrub players
from Occidental college defeated Santa
Ana high school yesterday afternoon
by a score of is to 0, the game being
the first clash of rival elevens in
Southern California. The game was
rather slow and at times very ragged,
owing to the inability of the Oxy
backs to handle the ball and weakness
of the Santa Ana line.
Only four regular players or last
years varsity were found in the line
up, and yet the .Oxy warriors seem to
have no trouble in moving through
the prep school players. Smart ana
Landreth, playing tackle for Occl-
dental, made gain after gain on tackle
around bucks, while Weiman and
Collins tore through the opposing line
without trouble.
On the other hand, Humphreys made
most of the gains for Santa Ana. He
played concise, fast football through
out the entire game and broke around
for substantial gains frequently. Santa
Anas line was exceedingly weak, be-
ing composed of many green players.
Oxy made substitutes throughout the
game at different intervals, Coach
Gorton trying to get a line on some Of
his new material. Blee, Seay and
Gould all showed up well for their
first time in a football game and will
undoubtedly prove to be material
which Gorton will be able to use later
in the season.
Weiman tried twice to kick off but
both times the strong wind carried the
ball out of bounds. Then Santa Ana
made an attempt, Humphreys booting
the ball to Weiman, who returned it
ten yards. Oxy tried a line buck, but
failed to gain. A forward pass was
attamDted hut the ball was fumbled
being recovered by Baer. Weiman
punted for fifty yards, Lutz returning
the ball for six yards. With series Of
end runs and line bucks Occidental
brought the ball within five yards Of
the goal line. Collins put it over the
goal line for a touchdown. Weiman
kicked goal.
Weiman kicked off to Santa Ana.
Lutz lost two yards on line buck. Col
Inns intercepted a forward pass, run
ming for thirty yards through a broken
field for a touchdown. Weiman booted
the oval between the goal posts, MAX
ing the score IL to in favor of the
Tigers.
At thefrst of the second half Oxy
worked a forward pass for fifteen
yards. Smart gained five yards on
cross tackle buck, Landreth repeat
ing the same on the other side of the
line. Collins broke away with a sem
sational end run for forty-five yards,
bringing the ball within ten yards of
the goal, Landreth putting it over for
the third touchdown. Weiman again
kicked goal. Score: Oxy, IS; Santa
