along at an habitual winning clip all
the time, it looks like the team should
begin to climb now, after long period
of hard luck playing. All the boys
seem to have improved in their batting
and altogether the prospect for a sue
cessful month at home looks good.
The fans should be just as loyal to tho
Angels as they have been to the VII
layers. and if they turn out in the same
large numbers and root for and en-
courage the team they will see some
fine baseball and a bunch of sure Win
ners. The month at home should put
the Angels right up with the top
notehers.
There is much room for hope that
the local ten-round no-decision boxing
sport may survive the war upon prize
fighting. Governor Gillett has promised
Louis Blot that he will not interfere
with any boxing contest that he may
desire to hold, but adds that anything
in the way of a prize fight VIII be
stopped before it begins. If the gov
ernor sticks to this policy, the McCarey
shows will not be interfered with at
Maud Junction, unless the city council
steps in with an amended ordinance
nrohibiting boxing contests. In that
event McCarey would have to abandon
the Maud Junction pavilion and go
hack to Vernon for his ten-round af-
fairs.
Pop Dillon got another homo run yes
terday. Think of that! And Hogan
the brainworks of the Vernon aggrega~
tion. got a hit in the afternoon game
after playing twenty-siX consecutive
innings without making a safe connec-
ton. Dillon also participated in the
batting rally in the ninth inning of the
Los Angeles Frisco game yesterday
afternoon that was won by the Angels

snortsmen who expect to be at ring
side when jeff whips the coon Will
have to make an earlier start for the
scene of battle than thew had antlcl-
pated. Reno looks like the sure VIM
ner in the contest for the relocation
of the SCRAP and it will take about
two full days to get there. If the
SCRAP goes to Goldfield the trip can
be made in a few hours shorter time.
Godfield is making an awful hght Tor
the honor and will not lack for boost
ers when Rickard gets to Reno, as two
large delegations of business men have
gone from the gold camp to the con-
ference that is scheduled for today.
nj kard will leave Frisco for Reno
this morning and will hold confer
enco tonight or early tomorrow, when
decision will be reached.
Ceorge Hancock will be a very pop
ular man with local sportsmen if he
carries out his announced plan for run
ming a special train to the fight, to
return Immediately afterward. Hotel
aid @ ting accommodations in Reno
are liable to be cassed as luxuries be-
fore the big crowd gets settled down
there, so the idea of a special, on
which the passengers will have sleep
ing accommodations every night While
away, will be instantaneously popu-
lar. The special will be solid Pull
man excursion.
Jimmy Kelly, once a leading jockey
on ie American turf, is here with an
offer to bring Patsy Brannigan, the
topnotch Pittsburg bantam, to Los An
geles to contest with frankie Conley
the claims of the latter upon the ban
tam championship. AS Brannigan has
whipped all such fighters as Coulon
in the east he looks like a good card
and there are sportsrnen in Los An
geles who have seen the youngster box
and who vouch for the boy as being
of championship caliber, If the ten
round game survives here a Conley-
Brannigan match would be a great
