of permitting dice shaking for cigars

Los Angeles is said to be the only
city in the country that legalizes
gambling in any form, and this has
been thrown up to the council a num-
ber of times. The present council is
responsible for the ordinance that per-

this policy, although the police commits

It is estimated that this feat is likely to be accomplished about Thursday night or Friday morning. There is really a larger flow in the river above the dam than was an nounced yesterday morning, as indi- cated by the above raise though the exact figures are not available It is estimated roughly that the Salt is ac- cummulating' about ten times as much water in the basin as the Verde is discharging and if this continues just a few days longer there will be an ample flow over the dam to give all the lands a good wetting The i'm pression seems to have been gained by some that the fixing of the tunnel was something that could have been done anytime and some criticism has been made of the reclamation service for closing the gates at this time. Ih explanation it should be stated that the engineers had no choice in the matter. Not to have closed the gates would have been hazardous and dan gerous to their safety.

PERRINE'S POSITION
s CARRIES A WARNING
AGAINST SLANGING
Many Umpres and Players Too Free in Use of Harsh
Language-Possible Prejudice Explained.
Lelivelt's Record
By THOMAS S. RICE.

There are some $500 people who were
~ the Washington ball yard on Friday
who did not hear Umpire PerTine say a
word derogatory 10 the Washington
club. There are at least four, and posi-
bly, more, who are emphatic in asserting
that he did. Ergo. as there are 2,496 per-
sons who old not hear the remarks as
against or more who did. Perrine must
be innocent. This line Of reasoning in
a celebrated divorce case resulted tn a
poor, innocent young thing getting ali
nony OF 10 plunks per day. and Perrine
may point to the precedent with pride
and hope.
Better see the game tomorrow. Last
chance for an even month.
