RLALTO GOSSIP
By Jay Davidson

Los Angeles branch of the A. D.. T.
company. is one of the greatest ad-
mirers of flowers in America. He is a
crank in this regard and has some OF
the most exclusive flower beauties. on
the continent in his garden. Among
the new flowers is one that he is offer
ing Il 5000 reward for proper identiilca-
tion, and although he has announced
this reward repeatedly in the last two
months and has exhibited the flower
upon numerous occasions he has been
unable to find anybody who could name
the flower. 1t slightly resembles the
golden rod Of California, but is a much
prettier flower. The offer will be with
drawn Saturday night, he says, when
he will tell the inquiring public the
name.
Tom Carrigan, partner with his
brother Willie, the football crack, In
the sale of Midland automobiles. has
been setting new sales records in
Southern California for some time
Seven machines last week and four
already this week attest to his sales
manship, and he says he is not out
of breath yet. The Midland is his
favorite car and he drives it to the
exclusion of two other styles that he
is handling.
Jim Barry, who stopped Gunboat
Smith in the ninth round at Frisco this
week, came to Los Angeles yesterday
to see his friends and attend to some
business matters. AS he is matched
for March 29 with Jack Burns of Sa-
linas he will be unable to stay for the
Langford-Flynn fight.
Hen Berry wants to lay particular
stress upon the fact that this will be
the first day set apart at baseball
games for women and children, and in
yites all of them to go to the game
today and sit in the grandstand with
out charge. These days will be regular
affairs during the regular Coast league
season, and Hen likes so well to see
them out that he could not wait until
the regular season opens, SO he set
apart today as the first of them all.
Baseball cranks will see the last of
the White Sox Yannigans in the game
Sunday with Hap Hogan's outfit. The
regular team, with Comiskey in charge,
will be here Thursday and will play
the first game Friday If Berry can
prevail upon the Old Roman to change
from Thursday to Friday. Owing to
the fact that the Langford- Flynn fight
will be staged Thursday and Hen
wants to attend it, he says he will
try to get Comiskey to agree to change
the day for the opening game from
Thursday to Friday.

n UTE large crowd attended the
boxing show given last night by
" the newsboys at Maud Junction
and were well entertained by the bouts
that were staged. Although the affair
brought out no fighters of note, every
body had a lot of good will for the
newsies, and the big pavilion was well
filled by their well wishers. The re-
suits of the bouts, as seen by the as
sistant sporting editor, were as fol-
lows: Danny Rooney won the de-
cision from Kid McAuliffe i'll four
rounds; Battling Chico won from
Frank Matthews in four rounds;
Young Sharkey defeated Willie Dali
ton i'm four rounds; Berry, Hatton
stopped Kid Pierce in the first round;
Harry Curland won from Willie Simp-
son in six rounds; Tommy Mcfarland
and Kid Rees fought six rounds to a
draw and put up d great battle.
This boy Mcfarland, who performed
in the windup last night, called out
considerable praise from the fans who
watched him in his first local appear
anee. According to all who saw him
in this bout he will do for better COM
pany, and under competent handling
will make all the boys in his class do
a lot of hustling to beat him. He
seems to have everything that a fighter
should have, except proper handling,
and if he decides to stay in the game
and hooks up with a manager who
knows anything he will be heard from.
The directors of the East Side Ath
letic club held their annual meeting
yesterday at the club house on Mis-
sion road and elected officers and di-
rectors for the new year. The election
resulted as follows: A. Forbes, presi-
dent; ]. J. Gavin, vice president; Ar
thur De Forest, secretary and treas
urer, and these, with Tom Judge and
Archie Thompson. constitute the new
board of directors. Following the
election, a stag banquet was spread
in the club dining room, and Cap Nc
Rae, who has been the directing spirit
in the club for the last year, showed
his associates how to entertain. Au-
tomobiles carried the sixty-odd mem
bers to the club house for the annual
meeting, and only one guest of the
club was present at the annual ban
quet. The East Side club is a popular
training camp for fighters, and the eX-
cellent facilities for training and for
gymnasium work there make 1t a pop
ular resort with the fight fans and the
general sporting public.

They are the ones who regularly carry
Are Carefully Selected

They are the ones who regularly carry
funds.
Are Carefully Selected
Great care is taken in their selection,
so that none but those of absolute re-
spectability and good character are
ever engaged. No boy is given this
work who lives in a lodging house.
He must live with parents or respon-
sible guardians.
Their pay is no greater than that Of
the boy who delivers a letter, and not
nearly as remunerativeta that of the
youth who escorts Adamless Ewes to
the theater. They are supposed to earn
80 cents an hour for the company, out
of which they get 10 cents for them
selves. If they hustle and do two err
rands within that time the company
gets so cents and they get 30 cents.
But frequently 1t takes them an hour
to go to a bank and make a deposit
because of their having to stand in
line. AS a result the boy must stand
responsible for a sum of $4,000 or up
ward for a remuneration of Is cents
After a boy has been selected for
Wall street duty he must go through
an apprenticeship of six months. Dur
ing this time he is sent on errands of
minor Importance, and he must become
thoroughly acquainted with the dis
triCt He must become a Walking III
rectory of names and addresses; he
must know where the unattached
members of the stock exchange have
desk rooms, and he must learn how
the stock and bond business is tran
sacted.
Their work begins at 10 a. M, when
the stock excange opens. As soon as
a house has made a sale 1t issues a
white ticket TO the purchasing house
which calls for the delivery of the
amount of stock purchased. This ticket
is given to the boy who takes it to the
office Of the purchaser, who in turn
issues a yellow ticket stating the num-
Der of shares and the price involved in
the transaction. This ticket is returned
to the seller When deliveries of stock
are made on the following day the boys
have their second classified duty to per-
form They get no instructions. They
are supposed to know the routine, what
TO do with the negotiable securities
and to return check for the price Of
the stock.
On coupon days the boys take cou-
pons calling for from five to ten thou
sand dollars, turn them over to the
bank or trust company that pays the
interest and receive currency in return.

DEER CAUSING MUCH TROUBLE
IN THIS VICINITY
Possible to Get Pay for the Damage
They Do, From the Town.

A large number of complaints have
been made of late by farmers in this
section of the state regarding the great
annoyance that is being caused by the
deer. Young peach trees, fields OF
rye and buckwheat, beans and other
garden produce have been damaged by
have been made by a few farmers to
the town game wardens- Others, how
ever, do not wish to cause any extra
expense to their town, and prefer to
bear the loss themselves rather than
to submit a formal complaint.
The law regarding the deer reads as
follows:
when any person shall sustain
| damage by wild deer to any crops
grown on cultivated land owned or
| occupied by him, and shall give no.
tice thereof to the chairman of the
board of selectmen of the town in
which such damage was done within
| twenty-four hours after his knowl-
edge of the same. said selectman
shall appoint two disinterested per-
sons. who, upon determining that
such damage was done by deer shall
| estimate the amount of said damage
provided that said damage does not
| exceed the sum of over twenty dollars,
but if in their opinion the damages
| exceeds the sum of twenty dollars,
| they shall notify one of the fish and
game commissioners, who shall assist
| them in determining the amount of
said damage.
| The amount of damage so esti-
| mated or determined so aforesaid,
with the expense of estimating or de-
| termining the same, shall be paid by
| such town within sixty days after the
| amount thereof has been so deter
| mined or estimated; and the town
/ treasurer shall, annually, in the
| month of January, file a sworn state
/ ment with the comptroller of the
amount so paid for damage done by
deer, if any; and the comptroller
| shall draw his order on the treasurer
| for the amount of said damage as
| certified in said statement of the town
| treasurer"
| the law on deer goes off next June.
i but it is thought by many that ii will
| be re-enacted and the bar will again
| be placed on shooting them in this
i state.
