A contributor to the Lake Charles
American, who signs himself "a
Countryman," gives the following
unique reason for trading with the
mail order house. He says:
GLOW often have | gone to one of
our stores for few little things that
we needed, to find that the so-called
merchant did not have them in stock,
What is to be done? | will tell Won
what we do; we 90 home, get our cat
alOgue, sit together and select what
we want, and then spend a week or
ten DAYS living in JOYOUS anticipation"
AS near as we can judge from the
above reason, the "week or ten DAYS
living il Joyous anticipation, bears
much weight with "Countryman. {"
Now we are ready to suggest q RENE
dy that will solve the whole matter for
him and still let him keep his money
at home, where it may be used to helm
pay him for his labor or the producers
of the same. Now Mr.. COuntrvman
when you feel the spell coming on,
which assures you that you are about
to want something which your home
merchant does not have, if you will
go to your merchant and make your
wants known, we have no doubt but
that said merchant will gladly order
what you want, then you can 60 home
and live those blessed days of antici-
patton as long as you wish, for,
while the merchant will doubtless
have the goods for you within Il week
at least, you are not compelled to oct
them at once or to pay storage on
them if YOU leave them for q few DAYS
more, ia order to satiate your soul
with the blessings of anticipation .

Left Last Night for Sacramento to
Open Coast League Season
Tuesday-Beavers Here
BY JAY DAVIDSON

The period of spring training for the
Coast league clubs in the south ended
yesterday when the White Sox broke
even in double-header with the YER
mons and Angels, winning from Vernon
in the morning by the shutout route
and losing in the afternoon to the An
gels by a to 1 score. Happy Hogan
and fifteen of his Vernon players left
at 1880 o'clock last night for Sacra-
mento to open the Coast league season
with that club Tuesday afternoon,
while the Portlands, which beat the
Maiers a local semi-professional team,
at Santa Ana yesterday afternoon, are
here to open the season the same day
with the Angels. The White Sox leave
lat o'clock this afternoon for Yuma,
Phoenix. Oklahoma City. Wichita, Lit
tie Rock and Memphis, where they will
play the windup series of games on
their spring training schedule.
The morning game between the
White ..Sox and Vernon, played at
Southside park, was poorly attended,
but resulted in a fast and snappy eX-
hibition, despite that the Sex won by
the score of to c. Coy and Hensling
twirled for the Coast leaguers and
were opposed by Smith. The latter
allowed the Cubs only five hits and
no runs. while the Sox piled up ten
hits and four runs. The game was
we'll played, the only error made being
charged up to Truck Egan of the YER
mons.
Koestner and Sutor, the latter for
merly playing with the Seals, were the
opposing slabsters in the afternoon
game at the Chutes and Koestner put
the Angels in front at the end of the
ninth inning by twirling mastery ball
throughout the nine innings. He was
we'll supported, as the four hits and
two runs testify, while the Sox were
able only to roll up one tally on five
hits. Orendorf, the Angel catcher, was
the only player to make a bobble.
The Coast league season in Los An
geles opens tomorrow afternoon with
appropriate ceremonies after which
the Portland aggregation and the An
gels will try conclusions. The usual
series of seven games will be played
by these teams, the extra game being
played Sunday morning at Southside

Pitchers


The Pico Heights and Gardena clubs
of the Southern State league broke
even yesterday in double header on
tn Gardena diamond. In the first game
Pitcher Wiley OF the Pico Heights
twirled a mastery game, allowing only
one hit and tanning ten of his oppo-
nents, but lost through errors by the
infield at critical times. The score was
2 to o. In the second game, while
Pico Heights secured only four bin
gles they punched them so as to score
four runs, while the best the berry
pickers could get out of ten hits was
three runs. Both games were fine ex-
hibitions of the national game and
were we'll played and fast throughout.
The feature of the second game was
the hitting of Pitcher Lequin, who
made three hits out of the Same num-
Der of times at bat.
The roofing of the Gardena team
helped to win one game for their club.
Lequin, for the Los Angeles club, made
six of the berrypickers pound the air,
while "Dutch" Schultz famed three.
A sensational one-handed catch of q
high fly at second by Hefferman of
Pico Heights, retiring Bingham, was
the fielding feature. In trying to cap
ture the ball Hefferman collided with
two other runners of the same club,
but only minor damage resulted. The

SAINTS HANDILY BEAT
SANTA CLARA IN MUD
Buckles Was Hero of Ragged Game
Played on Wet Grounds, Pitching
In Great Form and Showing Up
Well with the Willow

SAN JOSE, March 28.-St. Vincent's
baseball team of Los Angeles defeated
the Santa Clara college nine here today,
8 to 4, in a ragged game of baseball.
The field was in wretched condition,
owing to the recent rains, and was not
conducive to good baseball, and the
last half of the contest was fought out
in a driving rainstorm. The Saints
proved the better mud larks and
handled the wet sphere with better eff
feet than their opponents, two errors
being charged to them, while the Santa
Clara team was guilty of six misplays.
Buckles pitched a good game for the
winners, allowing only six hits, while
Hartman, who is we'll known in Los
Angeles, having played in the Califor-
mia Winter league, was found for eight
hits, but poor support aided in piling
up the score against him. Buckles, the
Pomona giant, besides being effective
in the box, was there with the willow.
and his stick work aided materially In
bringing victory to the Los Angeles ag-
gregation.
The base running of First Baseman
Peters Of the Santa Clara nine was the
feature of the game, and the wet
ground seemed no handicap to him, as
five purloined sacks were placed to his
credit.
The game was attended by a small
crowd, due to the weather conditions,
and no great rivalry was shown, as
many of the Santa Clara players are
we'll known to the st. Vincent team,
and the game was in the nature of
family gathering and rehashing of old
times The score
st. Vincent 8, hits 8, errors 2.
Santa Clara 4, hits 6, errors ..

COMPLAINS OF RAW
DEAL FROM REFEREE
Billy 6urk, Manager of Harry Wuest,
Says He Was Forced 20 Stop Bout
to Prevent Injury in Foul
Fighting

Billy Burk. manager of the lakewood
Athletic club at Arcadia, and also man
ager of Harry Wuest, the Cincinnati
heavyweight, has a big "holler' COM
ing regarding the treatment accorded
Wuest by the San Diego referee who
officiated at the scheduled twenty
round bout Thursday night in the
southern city between Wuest and Jack
Burns After making a plain state
ment of his side of the case, justify
the ring to stop the fight after Wuest
had been repeatedly fouled, he issued
a challenge to Burns for fight before
any of the local or nearby clubs where
he can have the services of a COM
petent referee.
Burk produced q clipping from one
of the San Diego papers in which he
was criticised for tossing in the towel
and in which it said that the worst
that the Cincinnati scrapper could
have earned was a draw. Then Burk
explained his side of the case as fol-
lows:
Wuest had a good lead over Burns
at the time Burk stopped the fight
and was administering such a severe
beating to the Salinas chap that the
latter was repeatedly fouling Wuest
Burk complained several times to the
referee, but the latter would not even
caution Burns. In the final round
Burns fouled Wuest twice, hitting him
very low, and Burk, seeing that his
man was up against it, and refusing
to permit Wuest to risk permanent in
jury, tossed the towel in the ring and
ended the farce. Burk is anxious to
bring the big boys together before a
local club where a capable referee will
adjudge the merits of the fighters, say
ing that Wuest had the lead over
Burns when he stopped the fight and
can whip the Salinas boy with ease.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-03-29

! Freddie Weeks, the only fighter who
holds a decision over him, that he
asked that the bout be set ahead one
week. to permit him to get to Gold
field by April IL to confer with Weeks.
When he and Weeks fought Hefron
tainted after weighing in, having sus-
tanned a wrenched knee that forced
him to wobble around, but he went in
and fought with credit to himself and
saved his $3.50 forfeit. Now he wants
chance to get that defeat OIL his
record and believes he can force Weeks
into a match. 1t would be quite a
drawing card here if Hefron whips
Webster in a decisive manner He has
dropped both his local opponents in
less than two rounds and fights and
looks like a sure-enough fighter of the
best class.
Although Billy Papke wants a return
match with Jim Flynn he insists on
definite weight that will prevent Flynn
from going into the ring with any adj
vantage in poundage. Flynn will not
give him the return match unless the
same weight conditions prevail that
governed their previous bout. Papke
made the mistake of going out of his
class to fight a light heavyweight, yet
Flynn is not to be blamed for refusing
to make weight now that he has de-
feated Papke at catchweights.
Long Not Going Abroad
That pipe dream, with murder head
lines, about Baron Long going to Eng
land to meet and manage Freddie
Welsh was exploded as a blunderbuss
last night when the big boy said en-
phatically that he has no intention of
visiting King Edwards domain or
taking the management of the clever
lightweight. Baron has arranged to
go into business in America, not so
far from Snrinp nd
while he may go to New York in a
few days to attend to some important
business affairs he will not be there
very long and will return west. He is
a voter in Los Angeles now and will
continue to be an Angeleno for an in
definite period. In fact, he likes the
climate, people and prospects of the
country so very much that he refers
to Los Angeles as home" in a manner
that indicates his desire always to be
able to write that name after his own
every time he gives his permanent adj
dress
