In the City league race at Fiesta park
yesterday, Los Angeles played tho two
games and won them both. The first game
they played with the newly organized
Francis Wilsons, and beat them by the
score of 16 to 10. The Los Angeles team
won the game by their superior all-around
playing, both ln the field and at tha bat.
Ross, who pitched for the Wilsons, was
not in his usual good form and was batted
for sixteen base hits, with a total of twen
ty-three bases, and his support was very
poor at times, in the seventh Inning the
team made six of their nine errors, the
entire team going to pieces. Moors, nt
third base, played a pretty game, having
nine chances and accptingeight. Franeks,
at short for the Wilsons, and Courtney,
for Los Angeles, also made some pretty
plays. Ferguson and Held led in the bat
ting. Held making one home run. n three
bagger and a two-bagger in the game.
The second game, between Los Angeles
and the Bpauldings, was a walk-over for
Los Angeles, by the s.-ore of S to 6. The
Bpauldings are very pretty fielders, but
aro very weak at the bat. only being able
to make five scattering hits oft" Tripp's de
livery. They tire a little too light and lark
the experience to be able to cope with
such old players as the Los Angeles and
Francis Wilson teams.
The Trilbys did not play > esterday, owing
to the sickness of several members of their
team.
Next Sunday the Francis Wilsons will
play the first game with the Los Angeles
and tho second game with the Trilbys.
Harvey and Mangarlna will be the bat
tery for the Wilsons. Tyler and KUtS for
Los Angeles and Shaw anil Carroll for the
Trilbys.
First game!

COURSING
The managerm nt of Agricultural pork
seems to stand in with the clerk of the
weather, for yesterday was another fine
day, and one of the largest crowds of the
season was out at the coursing, us was evi
denced by the unprecedented demand for
score cards. Thero are two days' racing
tills week, and the purse is |2iv, so that
nearly all the favorites aro entered, and a
good deal of Interest Is being taken In the
outcome. There are some of the dogs on
the track that are gaining more than a
local fame, and making some line records,
and it Ls easy to tell when a favorite go's
on. Coursing, like everything else, im
proves with time, and as the Jacks become
more accustomed to the grounds and tho
weather grows warmer, they run faster
and longer, which Increases the sport.
A good hound Is now almost a sure money
maker, and they receive as much care as
•. sajietj' belle, their toilet being a matter

SPORTS OF THE DAY
of careful considerate. A visit to the
kennels is full of interest to friends of the
dog, especially at the time whin Ihe ca
nines are taking their daily exercise.
It is noticeable to a constant attendant
at the coursing that one sees in the crowd
the same faces every week, and it is amus
ing to note the sporting tendency vvhicn
crops out in the feminine mind. There is a
good deal of quiet betting going on in the
grand stand, and It must be said to the
credit of the Unquiet sex that they win or
lose with as much equanimity as is shown
by the men.
The race between Trip and Beauty yes
terday made quite a sensation, the dogs
being so equally matched that they ran
four ties before either won. Loth dogs are
great favorites, and it is hard to tell which
is the better.
As a special feature of the day, Waldo
Lyons of Massachusetts gave an exhibi
tion of trick bicycle filling, and he per
formed some wonderful feats witli his
wheel. Lyons has appeared in Europe and
is fully entitled to bis reputation.
Ail event not on Ihe program was the
mile bicycle race between ltlock of Los
Angeles and Walsh of San Diego, to settle
a dispute as to which was the better man.
Walsh won in 3iS9. W. rainier and Maj.
QeorgS Card acted as judges, with B, 11.
Gifford as timekeeper.
Racing will be resumed Tuesday, when
the ties and finals of yesterday will be

The reopening of the Southern California
Coursing park promises to be a success and
although the new management had only a
week to prepare for yesterday's coursing,
twenty-two good dogs were in tip- slips
and did sonic line coursing. The last tie and
final colli 1 not be run off because a suffi
cient number of rabbits could not be ob
tained. Plenty of rabbits, however, will
be on hand for Tuesday's coursing.
The fine pack of fox hounds made r,
pretty hunt and a good kill of the fox and
this sport will be continued every Sunday
Tho rabbit chase of Daschhunds was one
of tlie prettiest sports in the' country. The
ten Dacha chased the rabbit for about
twenty minutes until they had him in an
enclosed ring and it would be hard to
judge who killed him. There will be two
hunts of tiiis kind every coursing day.

GOOD ROADS
The gospel of good roads advances a
strong plea—lt speaks to a man's patriot
ism and to his pocket. As a railroad will
develop the resources of a country through
which it runs and increase the value of the
adjacent property, so good roads will ex
tend the area of land that receives the ben
efit of rail or water communication. Each
individual profits by every Improvement in
the facilities for communication, and with
the protlt to the individuals comes a profit
to the whole community. It is a part of
wisdom, therefore, to strive for improved
highways. The roads of California are not
what they Should be. The money that has
been paid for the roads of this state would
have been sufficient to have secured the
best highways in the country had It been
systematically and sclcntiffieally expend
ed. That this result has not been secured
is partly the result of the methods em
ployed, and partly the result of the laws
governing road construction.
In ovder that there should be an improve
ment, and that the people should receive
a more adequate return for the money paid
out, it is necessary that there should be
a change in the road laws. It is one of the
most admirable features of this govern
ment that whenever the people ugrto upon
any desired reform they havo but little
dlffioulty in securing its enactment into
law. But, in order that thero should be
this agreement, and that it should have
effective expression, there- must be organ
ization. Without organization tbe friends
of a reform act at cross-purposes and their
Btrt ngth Is lost- In order to secure such
agreement on the methods by which an im
proved system of roads Is to be secured) the
California flood Roads league has been
organized. The headquarters c ,f the league
have been located In Kan Francisco, be
cause it Is from that point that all parts of
the state can lie most conveniently reached,
but It Is intended that branches shall be
organized ln every county and every prin
cipal city and town in the state. It is in
these branch leagues that the effective
working strength of the league will be
found.
One of the first and most Important
pieces of work to be undertaken by the
league will bo the drafting of a series of
bills to be introduced in the legislature.
embodying its views as to a comprehensive
road system. In order that these bills phuli
be as nearly perfect as possible the views
of all those Interested in the subject will
bo invited, persons who hAYS mado a study
of road construction and road administra
tion will be consulted, the road laws of
other states will l)e studied end the expe
rience of those states examined. From the
Information thus\ obtained bills will b»
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 21, im
formulated with special reference to the
peculiar requirements of this state. These
bills will bo printed and widely distributed
in order that there may be the most thor
ough discussion.
Supplementing this central work, there
will be what has come to be called a cam
paign of education. Special features of the
question will be discussed In the columns
of the press and itt special publications by
those who have made a close study of them.
Meetings will be held and addresses deliv
ered in different parts of the state in order
that those who have not made a study of
the subject may become familiar with til
merits. In every legitimate manner the
good roads sentiment will be fostered and
encouraged.
The work of the league will necessarily
be. in a certain sense, political, but It will
he political ln the broader sense. Meas
ures wilt be advocated rather than «en or
parlies. The league will not endorse indi
vidual candidates, for therein lies the
danger that its real purpose will be lost
and It will be prostituted to personal ends.
Hut it will actively oppose these who do
not favor Improved highways, and it will
employ every legitimate means to secure
Ihe passage and approval of its measures,
The league Is well aware that it is inertia
rather than opposition that it must meet,
but active work is necessary to overcome
inertia as well as opposition.
The active work to which the league is
now about to devote itself Is the organiza
tion of branch leagues. Such league? have
already been formed In Alameda. Sacra
mento and Sonoma counties and others are
in progress of formation. One member of
the board of directors has been elected
from each senatorial district in the state
Iti order that he may lie a means of commu
nication between the branch league in his
district and the central organization. Each
branch league is to be independent, to de
termine upon its own form i f organisation,
to elect its own officers and to conduct its
GAME SIR WALTER

own affairs. Its connection with the central
league is to be merely for the purpose of
securing the co-operation necessary to ren
der the work of all efficient. The central
league, however, will be pleased to render
any assistance or furnish any information,
and any communications may be addressed
to it at the Mills building. San Francisco.
IN THE EHIZE RING
If faithful training on the part of the
men themselves is any indication of what
kind rjf a fight they are going to put up.
the fifteen round go between Jim Jeffries
of this city and Joe Goddard at Hazard's
pavilion a week from tonight will probably
in- one of the host that lias c ver taken place
in Los Angeles. Goddard is in training at
tlo- Athletic club gymnasium, and there
his work is watched by athletes who know
What kind of work is necessary to put him
into proper form for a light, and if there
is any Inclination on his part to not train
properly the club members and the public
would toon know it. He docshia work with
an ease that shows he knows the business,
and it is certain that be wiil give Jeffries
i good light. The Los Angeli s man is In
training north and will not come here un
til a few days before the light.
The program for the night of their match
i onslsts of two other lights besides the
heavyweight mill. The first will be a ten
round contest for a decision between Bob
Thompson of Salt Bake and Ed Trimble of
Youngs town, Ot The two men will weigh
in at 3 oclock on the day of the contest at
113 pounds. The second fight Will also be of
ten rounds between Dan Long, formerly of
Han Jose, and Bob Join s. The latter is the
negro who played such excellent football
last year on the University of Southern Cal
ifornia ti am.
Harry Jones and Bob Thompson will
meet for fifteen rounds before the Manhat-
tan olub Friday night. Tho men are
thought to be übout evenly matched and
Thompson will have a much harder man
to whip tlits time than In any ot his re
| cent lights here. Jones is a glutton for
punishment and possesses a surprising
skill for one who has had so little expert
j er.ee in the ring.

McCoy began his theatrical career With
a "pronunciamento" in which ho ehal
leugi -l either Corbett or Fitsslminona to
moet blni in a battle fur the champion
ship of the world at catch weights. Only
the week before he refused to meet Joe
Choynski at anything above 162 pounds,
though Joe Is not considered by the know
ing ones the equal of either Fitz or Cor
bett, and It seems odd that he should bo
willing lo tackle either of them in prefer
ence. It is not odd, however, when their
published utterances are considered. Cor
bett has announced repeatedly that he
wdl only tight Fitzslmmons, while Fits's
I "ultimatum" (he ought to have this word
j copyrighted) is that be will only light
j Corbett after he (Corbett) lias fought and
defeated Peter Maher. Under these cir
cumstances it will be seen that the Kid's
challenge is really but an advertising bluff,
lie is "four-flushing" as it wore. Wouldn't
it be funny if Jim or Dob were, after tin
manner of the ladles, to change their
minds and to "call' him. Hut If they did
that tbe Kid would make bis bluff good,
although at the lime he made it he had
no idea of ever being called upon to do
so. It now looks as though things were
Shaping so that McCoy and Choynski will
come together at catch weights before the
April showers fall.

The proposition to match Kid Lavigne
and George liixon at 12S pounds has fallen
through. Lavigne woulel bo a fool to un
dertake to make that weight at the ring
side, and Dixon to permit him to scale at 2
in the afternoon. Instead there is a strong
probability that'the wo Kids, fcavigne
and McPartland, will come together at 133
pounds. McPartland has Improved a good
deal of late, and he had height mid reach in
his favor. What Davigne has we all know.

George Dixon will never again have an
opportunity to box Pedlar Palmer, in re
sponse to Dixon's challenge Palmer has
cabled that he would retire after lighting
Dave Sullivan again In April. Hen Jordan,
who tlefeated Tommy White, however. Is
willing to light liixon at l-l pounds tor
$101)11 a side and expenses. Jordan Is the
undisputed featherweight champion of
England and his recent victory over White
places Jtim in a direct line for interna
tional championship honors, lie can tight
as low its' IH pounds, and If Dtxon objects
to the weight stipulated above he can
make the weight to suit himself.

EIDES A CENTURY DAILY
Through snow, rain and slush, day after
day. Edward S. Edwards, tlie cbaTnpior
centurion of the Century wheelmen of
New York. Is piling up ihe miles, lie is
rilling his end of a contract which calls for
a century run every twenty-four hours.
Not a day has he missed so far. He is rid
ing a Cbainless wheel, the idea, presuma
bly, being to call attention to its beauties
and its practical Utility as a snow plow,
mud scraper and general road machine.
For several years Edwards has been rec
ognized as one of the hardest and plucki
est riders in the metropolitan district, bin
the task he has undertaken is a huge one.
Tlie highest mileage for the year 1897 would
be surpassed if Edwards could ride 100
miles a day up to next Labor day; but
these 28,000 mile road records were not
made 100 miles at a lime, on some days
double ami even triple centuries were rid
den in an effort to "beat all creation"
awheel. So Edwards' feat of riding an
even 100 milts every twenty-four hours is
unprecedented. •
Ono day last July he pedaled 849 2-5 miles
in a single day, smashing the previous
twenty-four hour road record by thirty
live miles. Previous to this he had beaten
the record from New York to Philadelphia
by thirty-six minutes, consuming seven
hours and lifty-one minutes In covering
the hundred odd miles. The record of
nineteen hours and flfty-slx minutes for
the round trip he did not quite eeiual, owing
to heavy showers and muddy roads.

The decadence in tho class of Ihe Bteeple

greatly exercising the minds of the sport
ing writers. Tlie racing editor of tho Daily

with case and comfort have given lumps

NOT AMBITIOUS
An Artist of Considerable Skill Who
Wants an Easy Job
I heard a good story recently of the
way two shrewd Buffalo men mad- $id"o
on an investment of $36. The two men
are engaged in business and have the
reputation among their friends of know -
ing how to make money. They were
walking down Exchange street a few
months ago to take a train at the Cen
tral station, on the way down Exchange
street they observed a painter at work
one one of the big fences. lie was draw
ing the picture of a young colored boy in
the act of being scrubbed white by the
application of a certain kind of soap.
"That fellow s clever," said one.
"You bet he is." remarked the other,
"l wonder how much he makes a week
at that business," want on the first.
"Let's And out," was the reply. They
asked the paint, r to step down from his
ladder and engaged him in a conversa
tion. He told them he was drawing $10
a week while the weather was pleasant.
When it was bad he made less. He in
formed tin m that he could draw water
colors, A bright idea struck one of the
men. He offered to pay the fellow J2S a
wet k if he could draw a certain number
of water colors. The bargain was quick
ly made, and the painter agreed to ap
pear at the men's office the following
morning. He was on hand, and they
soon bad the necessary paints and brush
es before him. He started to work.
Tho lirst day he drew 2,'j water colors.
The next day he drew SS. He worked tor
Bye days, and at the end of that time
there were* over 101) water colors on ex
hibition in his workroom. The sixth day
the painter disappeared, after receiving
his money. The two business men began
disposing of the water colors. A well
known Main-street business man paid
160 for one of the pictures, and others
sold for from S2 up to $200. At the end
of two weeks they hail sold every picture
and had $4000 In bank as the result. They
looked in vain for their painter, but
couldn't locate him until a month after-
ward. Then they discovered him in ;i
dime museum, where ho was acting as
announcer. They offered him all kinds
of money to go back in their employ, but
the fellow ib dined, saying he hue! a soft
berth.—Buffalo News.
The Other Sex
What has become of tin* old-fashioned
woman who was afraid of her husband.
Most girls sell concert tickets because
they are told by the- managers that they
an.- pretty and popular.
A little Atchison girl recently gave o
party, her mother limiting the guests
to ten. The girl invited nine boys and
one girl.
When iii unmarried man's clothes
show v button off, how the Bight makes
a woman's fingers itch fur a needle!
When a woman laughs at her hus
band's jokes, it often indicates that she
realizes the importance of keeping him
good-humored as that she loves him.
Society girls should remember that
they will soon lie 2S years old and look
ing for a job.
When a girl takes care of the altar
linen at church, it i« safe to wager that
she spends no time on the linen at home.
This muddy weather is just what was
needed to give the girl who got a silk
petticoat for Christmas a chance.
An Atchison girl w ho has hud experi
ence says she would rather not have a
sweetheart than be "joked" about it.
livery one seems to think that a love
affair is a great Joke, und you bet it is! —
