Attend Games

For the first time in the history Of
Los Angeles a Sunday school baseball
league has been organized by the Sun
DAY schools of the Angel city, games to
pe played Saturday afternoons.
1t is the intention of the promoters
to secure as many Sunday schools as
possible to participate, and already ten
schools have made application for
membership.
AT the meeting last night at the
Temple Baptist church at Fifth sand
Olive streets an informal organization
was effected, and temporary officials
We're elected. A. H. Wisler of Poly
technic high school was chosen chair
man.
WiSler is an old-time baseball player,
having for several years been connected
with athletics at Poly and understands
the pertinent points of the game.
George A. Morrell was selected secre-
tary.
At the first call the following mem

WHITTIER'S PROTEST
SAID TO Be JUSTIFIED

The Los Angeles County Basketball
league committee has decided that the
Whittier nigh school was justified IN
its protest against the Instructions at
the Polytechnic high school courts and
that the game with Poly should be
annulled.
Polytechnic had also a protest against
Redman, who, it is alleged, had played
with team not representing Whittier
high school, and with the permission
of the league the case was dismissed.
The decision of the basketball COM
mittee means that Poly and Whittier
nigh school are tied for first honors
in the percentage column. Just what
institution will take third place is not
known, as most of the schools have one
or two postponed games to be played
off before the season comes to a close.
The disputed contest will be played
off as soon as the courts are dry and
in good condition, so the standing of
the rival clubs probably will be known
within a week.

The situation is acute, assuredly, but
If it is any more so UP at Sacramento

IA NLY two Burns handicap eligibIes
accepted the invitation of Secre-
tary Smith to take a workout in
the $4,000 selling race that will be the
feature of the Santa Anita card this
afternoon, Montgomery and Animus
being the pair, but two others have
been named to start and the Burns
candidates may not have the thing all
to themselves after all. Maltbie, the
sensationally fast maiden that was
sold for $4,000 recently, and which ran
third in the Ventura handicap last
Saturday, gets in at SO pounds, and
John Carroll, also some horse, will try
to beat the good ones. The distance is
nine furlongs, and if Old Sol will help
out with his all-day presence, the race
will be run over a fair track. The rain
Sunday night served to pack the track
until it is hard and the warm sunshine
of this morning and part of the after
noon, if it materializes, should dry out
the course materially. Some good
horses also will start in the third race
at seven furlongs, Ben Trovato, Nor
bitt, Golly Ding and Margaret Ran
dolph are among the speedy ones
named in the overnights, with favor
able weather conditions, the sport
should be much improved over that of
yesterday.
Morse and Voorhies entertained a
large bunch of billiard devotees last
night at Berry's Hoffman parlors when
they played their tournament game at
three cushions. Morse led all the way
and won by the score of so to A, but
Voorhies was slow to get started and
his strong finish only enabled him to
make an excellent showing. Morse
played brilliantly and steadily through
out. Clark and Voorhies will be the
card for tonight and another good
game is expected to result. Play be-
gins at $3.50 o'clock.
Walter Johnson won the opening
game of the 20O-point match at three
cushions between himself and Jeems
Morley. They played last night at the
Casino before a large crowd, and both
put up an excellent game, playing bril-
liantly throughout, but Johnson man

Of so to "a. BY the terms of the match,
the winner receives 81 for each point
scored, with an agreed minimum of
$50. They will play tonight, Wednesday
and Thursday nights at the same place,
beginning at $3.50 o'clock.
Sam Hildreth will ship Montgomery
and King James to Emeryville tomor-
row night, in all probability to start
in the Burns. 1t was Restigouche, and
not King James, that sustained the in
jury in the race Saturday that put him
out of all Burns consideration. He
spread a hoof and will be laid up for
quite while. Dugan will go with the
horses and will ride the one that Hill
dreth likes best after they arrive in
the north. Quite a delegation will go
from here to witness the runnig of the
Burns.

to J. ]. Walsh that $4,000 would pur-
