OPPOSE FOOTBALL

HOLLYWOOD. Aug. Whether or
not the American game Of football will
be played at the Hollywood Union high
school this fall seems to be a matter
of doubt. AT the meeting of the trus-
tee board this afternoon the question
of abandoning the game was discussed
and it is unlikely that it will be played
this fall.
The season ended tragically last fall,
when the local team was almost
crushed by the Pasadena eleven and
three of the local players were sent
TO the hospital as result putting a
damper on the game which will be
hard to raise. The game was played
last fall over the objections of fWO
or three members of the board, who
are working hard against it.
Two of the members of the board
who are opposed to the game are Col.
J. J. Steadman and ]. b. Murphy.
They opposed the game very strenuous
ly but others of the board thought
best to continue the game and did So
The matter will come up for final
hearing at the next meeting of the
board, which viii occur on September
a. The discontinuance Of the game
will be a great disappointment to the
lovers Of the sport in the school and
in this city Charles \. Webster Is
considered as being a most efficient
coach and has done much to make the
game popular here. He and the as
pirants to the team will feel the dis
appointment very much.
Should the American game be dropped
it is most probable that the English
game will be played.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 7.-stockton
forfeited the game today by score of
to 0, when Sacramento led 1 to 0 in
the last half of the fourth. Umpire
Henley had ordered Pfyl out of the
game for using improper language on
the diamond and was surrounded by a
crowd of Stockton players.
In the midst of the mixup Manager
Douglass of the stockton team left the
grandstand, rushed on the diamond
and ordered Captain Farrell to call his
men off the field.
At the box office Mayor Clinton e.
White led the spectators in a demand
that the admission fee be returned.
Managers of both teams held a con-
sultation and decided to play an eX-
hibition game. But several of the
players had left for town on the car
and another wait occurred. After per-
sistent demands by Mayor White the
managers patched up two teams and
played a listless game, which resulted 4
to 2 in favor of Sacramento. The score
of the game up to the time of the for
feiture follows:
Stockton 0, hits 4, errors g.
Sacramento 1, hits 3, errors I.

AVALON, Aug. 7-While fishing with
three-siX tackle off Seal Rocks A. K.
Goodwin of Los Angeles today caught
yellowtail weighing thirty-three
pounds. A rough sea at the point where
the angler first hooked his fish made
the landing very difficult, almost one
hour being consumed before the catch
was finally brought to gaff.
During the last week there has been
a great scarcity of bait used for fish
ing purposes, and not many catches
have been recorded in the various
angling clubs. Those who have been
admitted into the Catalina Light
Tackle club are DR.. +. L. Beckman of
New York City, F. b. Alexandra of

tain bait will be made by those in this

Notes of the Game

Beall was out of the game again yes
terday, his sore foot bothering him.
Goodwin replaced him in right and
made the sensational catch of the day,
running far toward the right field
bleachers and corrauing a long foul
fly off Shinu's bat in the first inning.
Oh! that Delmas whip Did you see
the way he drove that ball to first
twice in the ninth, robbing Gandil and
Raymer of safe hit in each instance
by his lightning handling Of the ball?
A good Saturday crowd was on hand
and the bleacherites for once rooted
heartily in favor of the Angels.
Scoreman Browning is the king Of
the Chutes boosters. His resonant
voice can be heard in every pinch. A
dozen Brownings with their cheering
calls would help a lot in winning that
pennant. Any Of the players will tell
you that little judicious use Of lung
power in pinches is big aid. 1t has
won more than one game.
Doyle and Shinn both gathered under
Dnlons high fly in the fifth, but the
sun must have bothered them or they
Rot their orders crossed, for neither got

Bio Lead in Seventh

The scene now shifts to the seventh,
when the Champs cinched their lead
-Four hits were made off Fitz in this
period, netting as many runs, ana
thereafter it was an eased-up breeze
in for the locals.
With one out, Orendorff singled to
center, and Tozer sacrificed him along.
Daley was walked again, and Artle
Ross, the Angel pinch hitter, banged
the ball to the center field fence for a
double, which scored both runners.
Dillon swung truly at his turn sing
ling into deep right, and this gave Ross
a chance to hustle over the plate, Cap
going to second in the throw-in. He
scored a moment later on Godwin's
single to left, which was hard for
House to gather in. Another out shut
off the scoring in time to prevent a
deluge.
In the eighth Sacramento made a
desperate effort, one run on three sin
giles in a row by Graham, Fitzgerald
and Shinn scoring the northern leader,
but that was all. The net result is:
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-08
Senators Score First

For three innings the score board
was empty, silent, noiseless, deserted
Then ali at once it began to speak and
when the scoring ceased in the ninth
the Angels had filed their column In
a. most satisfactory manner.
Sacramento secured the first score OF
the game in the fourth.
With two men on the scrap heap via
the strike route, Slugger Gandil hit a
pretty single past short and stole sec
ond a moment later. Raymer came up
and repeated his mates act, bringing
Gandil over the plate with his far held
hit.
In the Angel half the Champions
more than played even, getting two
runs. This was really the start of the
pounding given Fitzgerald by the local
stickmen, though it was his Wildness
and not the hitting qualities of the
Angels that accounted for these hrst
two tallies Daley and Ross, the first
two men up, We're given a walk. Dlllon
attempted to sacrifice. but kind lansing
would not permit it, allowing the gray
haired captain to land safely on first
on a tumble of his bunt, filling the
bases. With no one out it looked like
q nine for several runs. Goodwin was
hit by a pitched ball, forcing Daley
home. Howard reached first when
Raymer juggled the ball, and Ross
scored. Still the bases were filled, with
none out. But the run-getting came 70
a sudden end, Dillon being forced at
the plate by Smith, Delmas being
called out at the plate for interference
with a throw by Graham, and Oren-
dorff forcing Smith.
