HOT RACE IS ON FOR
SATURDAY CLUB RAG
Athletics and Echo Parks Tied in Per-
centage at Head of Column,
Latter Team Having
Shade on Rival


The Athletics, in the Saturday After
noon league, still lead the percentage
column, but in fact the Echo Park nine
is one game ahead of its opponents.
which places both clubs even for first
place in the league standing. Pico and
California are considered the best two
clubs in the organization, although
these clubs stand third in the league
percentage,
Nicholson for the Athletics, is play
ing consistent ball and is a wonder in
the box, and in fact would put to shame
some Of the amateur pitchers in the
miscellaneous ranks if given the oppOr-
! tunity to tWtFl against them. Beatic of
the Union avenue school also is playing
good ball at the initial sack for the
Echo Parks and is a fast base runner,
| having a record of doing the 100-yard
lash i'm 10 2-5 at the grammar school
meet last season at Echo park.
Owing to friction among the players
in the Alpine club. they have severed
their connection with the league, and
i'm all probability the Los Angeles high
school second team will take their
place, both in the league and in the
percentage column.
A match game between the Echo
| Parks and the Glendale high school
team will take place next Saturday af-
| ternoon at Glendale. Bandercock and
Clark will be on the mound and behind
the bat for the Echo Parks, while Hunt
and Glaston will do battery service for
the country lads. Lewis will umpire.
| The games scheduled for next Satur-
| day are as follows:
Echo VS.. California at California dia-
| nond.
Athletics VS.. Oaks, at Pico field.
/ Pico VS.. Alpines, at Echo park.
/ A league meeting will be held Thurs
day afternoon at o'clock at the Echo
! park playground, President Roy Has
let presiding.

Here Mr.. Hadley is speaking Of "a nat
ural critical faculty" 1t is a fact that
one meets with il frequently. There seems
to be a spirit of correct information which
circulates and eventually gets the right
of any question before the people One
reason perhaps IL the inability of the
average American to find it congenial to
accept what some other country has called
great, simply because some other
country said so; the American usually
wants to walt and make his own decision
after he has heard. That is why some
singers come here from Europe to the
Metropolitan Opera and find that they are
not 80 enthusiastically accepted. The fact
that someone Is pet of some ruling
monarch does not OF itself appeal 10 the
American citizen as a reason Cor any
thing.
And this faculty of which Mr.. Hadley
speaks is general, that is II extends to
all classes and not only to the wealthy,
as Mr.. Hadley would make one think, for
he mentions only bankers and plumbers, -
as though it were only among the pluto
Gratis that the critical faculty prevailed

This Is strange, but 1t is apparently true.

John Jacob Astor, we all know,

wise business men shrugged their

the future of this Territory; and, at
the very time when times were in

Now, he controls three superb ho-

Strange indeed it is if those who
have even passed through the

Philadelphia costs more to
get the common necessities of life
in the United States today than in
any other country in the world" de-
clared James Wilson, secretary of
agriculture, in an address before the
Manufacturers Club of this city on
"The Present Food Crisis" He
added:
"It has been said that the Ameri-
can is the best fed, best clothed,
best educated and best housed man
upon earth. We shall have to add
now that he is the most expensive
fed"
Secretary Wilson pointed out
that the fundamental difficulty was
that the people are leaving the
farms to such an extent that there
are not enough remaining to pro-
duce the food of the increasing
population. He said he was con-
WINGED that combinations of retail.
ers, wholesalers and the like were
responsible in great measure for
keeping up prices.
