Mercy!

Wards crack Edison nine, the same
team which journeyed to Bakersfield
in the hope OF scalping the fast north
ern aggregation, was literally slaugh-
tered yesterday by the Dyas-Cline
squad. Thirteen errors were scored by
the EdisOns, while six must be re-
corded against the winners. Ed Haight,
the classy little curve artist, was in
good form, allowing but one hit up to
the seventh inning and connecting with
q three -bagger, a double and a single,
with four trips to the plate. Ballinger
played a crackerjack game on the
initial sack for Welton's nine. The fig

Before a crowd of 500 spectators the
Wieland baseball nine won a fast and
exciting game from the Montebello
squad, to 3. Schmidt's delivery for
the winners had the Montebello boys
guessing a good share of the time
This twirler famed seven men and
was well supported. Pico retired nine
players by the strike-out route for the
losers. With two men out and two on
bases, Collins sounded the death knell
of the Montebellos by making a spec
tacular running catch in the latter
half Of the ninth. The contest was en-
livened by several brilliant plays
prominent among them being Harten-
STEMS timely two-bagger in the eighth

Redondo held up it's end yesterday in

contest, to 0, from this speedy aggre-
cation. Notwithstanding the fact that
the losers secured seven hits to the
winners six, heady base running,
coupled with a little good luck, placed
the Champions in the lead. Hobgood
threw fair ball for the losers, although
a trif1e wild at critical moments. Two

~ the fast Alhambra nine into
camp to the tune of to 2. The Sun
day school diamond artists have been
playing first class baseball, as is evil
denced by the fact that they have also
won from the Echo park, Y. M. c. A.
and Long Beach teams. That their
defeat was due to an incomplete lineup
is the cause given by the Alhambra
players for the score. Dear threw
major league ball for the losers, but

a mixup with the Greater Los Angeles

Schafer Is Lucky

Determined to give the northerners a
finish that would give them food for
thought, Hogan detailed two of his best
pitchers for mound duty yesterday,
Schafer officiating in the morning play
and WtIlett winding up. The former
nosed out a whisker's length ahead OF
Browning il the morning, and in the
afternoon Willett drew a beating,
though II looked as if he had double
header bottled up till the seventh, when
four runs sent the Seals galloplng
ahead, and the suburbanites could
never catch up.
There was nothing in the way Of
sensations in either game. Pitcher
stewart. the former Texas Lacquer,
drew his first victory under his new
chtzftaiu when he held Vernon to FIVE
hits II the afternoon and struck OUT
i've men. Bernard's triple and VIII
Iatr's double were about all the locals
could squeeze out of him, for he allowed
only one walk and kept the few bingles
well scattered. For six innings the
teams battled without a run on either
side. Then both opened UP suddenly.
Vernon scored one run in their half
and the Seals after taking a long
breath began a batting rally which shot
them to the fore so fast and so far
that the remaining two innings re-
sembled a stern chase, always a long
and exceedingly difficult proposition.

II the suspension continues for five

The trouble was caused by MAORI
ty Of Engineers Union No. 83 having
seeded from the Western Federation
Of Miners and organized new union.
The Butte Miners union ordered its
members not to go to work liz mines
employing members of the new engin-
GERS union.
The evening was ushered in with
great excitement, when nearly 1000
miners surrounded the shaft of the
Gagnon mine, apparently for the par-
pose Of mobbing 28 miners who defied
the command of the union to stop work.
A detail Of Is policemen with Captain
Thomas Norton in command hurried to
the scene, and reinforced by Sheriff
John K. O'Rourke, with every deputy
of his office at his back, succeeded in
reaching the shaft mouth.
Mounting pile of timbers, the sher-
iii in plain language told the crowd
that the officers proposed to protect the
Gagnon miners and intimated that any
attempt at violence oupon the part of
the strikers would result in shooting.
1t is hardly likely that work will be
resumed before week, and the various
shelters throughout the state may be
compelled to suspend operations.
