8 ANGELS WIN IN LOOSE CONTEST ALL KINDS OF MISHAPS ARE RECORDED Teams Seesaw Back and Forth, but Locals Get Busy in Eighth and Defeat Oakland Bunch Los Angeles 7, Oakland 5 The second game of the series between Oakland and the Angela was a fine con test— if you look at It with a shade ovor your lamps. Just Imagine two teams, supposed to be good ones, zlg-zngglng back and forth because the errors were so numerous that everybody had a chance to score. But the loyal fan got his moneys worth, anyhow. The action was scattered all along from the second act to the end of the eighth. First the visitors were aces on the score board, and then Berry's kl'is walloped out a run or two that gave them the honor of being In front. The busy work, first performed by Oak land, was started In the second Inning, when the Commuters scored a tally prin cipally because of Jud Smith's fumble. The Angels came right back In their half of the same round ana broke into the lead with two figures on the dope sheet. They were all tie In the beginning of the fourth, for the visitors mndc- the best of their chance in the third, and came through with the one necessary to put them on an equal footing. But thu fourth was Oakland's happy time, and the three tallies scored looked like the candy, despite the Angels' effort when their turn with the willow came. When things became real quiet at the opening of the fifth and continued that way until the last of the eighth it looked as though the locals were in for another beating, and the fans began to wonder when Berry was coming home. Angels' Busy Season The last of the eighth was enough. Tho score was 3 to 4 when Dillon, the first man up, flew to Jim Smith. Cravath singled and Jud Smith, who had been kid ding Devereaux about sending one through him. hit to the rope peddler and was safe Delmas walloped one through Cates, and Eagan. who was behind the twirler, Juggled the leather long enough to make everybody safe, incidentally filling the bags. Bobby Eager, who had his batting eye right with him. zinged the ball over Cates' scalp, scoring Cravath and Smith and putting the locals in the lead. But they weren't content to stop there, and for a while it looked as though there would be no ending. Dolly Gray was safe on a hit past Eagan. but no one crossed the rubber, and Bernard attempted a sac rifice. The leather was fielded by Cates. but Bliss was not there In good form and Delmas rolled home under his feet. Car lisle flew to Heltmuller, and the big show ended when Brashear was out via Deve reaux and Blgbee. Before that eighth round many things transpired to make the stand and bleach ers sit up and notice. In the second Bobby Eager lined out a pretty double to right, but when the Oaklanders began to throw the sphere all over the lot he kepi on about his business and completed the circuit. Delmas going home ahead of him. Del himself was allowed a place on the bags because Bliss muffed his third strike and gave the fleet short stop plenty of time in which to nail the initial sack. Bobby Burns started out to twirl for the locals, but Dillon was afraid he would not do, and in the fourth inning Gray took his place.

FEAR REVIVAL OF RIVER FRANCHISE Improvement Association Sends Copies of Protests to Council and Mayor. Latter Scouts Suggestion of Reviving Project Intimations having reached the city council of a possible revival of the scheme to grant a franchise for a rail road In or alongside the Los Angeles river bed, the Ninth Ward Improve ment association yesterday sent strong protests to each councilman and Mayor Harper. Those at the city hall who keep posted say there is no ground for this talk other than the much-discussed crn Pacific (Gould) line will get an en seiies of rumors as to how the West try into Los Angeles. Mayor Harper said last nlsht: "This Is a surprise to me and I do not believe the rumor is true. Wasn't the last council up to its ears In trouble over that franchise? I believe It would mean oblivion for any councilman to have anything to do with voting away the city's river bed." The letter and resolutions are as follows: At a recent meeting of the Ninth Ward Improvement association the following resolution was unanim ously passed: The Ninth Ward Improvement association learns with regret that another effort Is to be made before the city council for a railroad fran chise in the river bed and: Whereas we had supposed that the denial of the right formerly was to be the last effort in that direc tion. Now therefor be it Resolved that we are unalterably opposed and earnestly protest against the city authorities grant ing any franchise or permit to any railroad company in the river bed or any encroachment or interfer ence with the flow of flood waters through said river bed. On Christmas eve 1889, and a number of times previously, the flood waters have gone over the banks of the present levees on both sides of the river and we are of the opinion that the space occupied by the river bed is not sufficient to carry off the waters in the Hood time. There is a city ordinance against placing any obstruction in said river bed and compelling all bridges to have 100-foot spans. In crossing said stream. We therefore request and earnestly urge our councilman from the Ninth ward, the Hon. L. E. Blanchard, to oppose said fran chise with all the power that he may possess in the interest of the people of the Ninth ward, and that the secretary be directed to furnish a copy of these resolutions to the honorable mayor and each member of the city council. Respectfully submitted. W. J. BRYANT, Secretary. TODAY'S RACE ENTRIES LATONIA First race, five furlongs, selling— Kennewick. Hazel-, It., Darling Dan. Little Minr.ie. 97; Lep Godchaux.

SMALL SHIPPER AT DISADVANTAGE AGENT SAYS LARGE GROWERS HAVE PRECEDENCE All Admit That Proper Distribution of Cars In the Busy Season Is a Problem Not Easily Solved When the henring of the car shortage complaint made by the California Fruit Growers exchange was resumed before Special Commissioner Frank O. Finlay- Bon yesterday, W. D. Barnwell, general fieigiu agent of the Santa. Ke coast lines, was recalled to the witness stand. On redirect examination he testified that under the percentage or holdings rule It was not the practice to hold cars three or four days for the bi« shippers. In tlmea of car shortage no cars were held for any one. and when there was no ■hort&ffe it was not necessary to apply the percentage or any other rule, there being cars enough for all. lie admitted that the California FruiU Growers exchange and its subordinate concerns were the largest shippers over the Santa Fe lines In Southern California, and quoted the record to prove that up to May 31 of this year they had shipped 54 per cent of nil citrus fruits consigned to points east of Albuquerque. New MeX lco, the Citrus union shipping 7 8-10 per cent ami tho independent shippers ss 1-10. Here Commissioner Flnlayson intrr po.sed: "What authority. If a»iy, is vested In the local agents regarding the appor tionment of the cars at their respective stations In times of shortage?" "1 think," replied Mr. Barnwell, "it Is In the form of a letter from our general agents, and verbal instructions from the visiting officials. 1 do not recall that any circular letter was ever Issued, covering the subject." On recross examination Attorney Dunn of the Southern Pacific remarked that he had no questions to ask, leaving all of that for Mr. Brltt, attorney for the Citrus union. In answer to a hypothetical question by Mr. Brltt, the witness stated most em phatically that lie would discourage any shipper from the practice of bringing fruit a long distance, out of the territory of another station. He thought such prac tice was only for the purpose of obtain ing enrs and could only result In congest ing the iiusiness of the shippers of the local station, who. he thought wore en titled to first consideration in time of a car shortage. Commissioner Flnlayson provoked a laugh by asking casually If persuasion by a railroad company was not usually ef fectual, and the witness replied tnat they tried to make it so. Mr. Barnwell thought It would be to the Interest of the growers if they would store the other varieties of orange? and push forward the shipment of the navels, for the latter did not keep so well. He would not refi«c either Mediterranean sweets or lemons if entered for shipment during the navel season, but he wished the growers would leave them on the trees until the latter were out of tho way. After considerable sparring between the attorneys for the intervenor and the wit ness in regard to the latter's opinion on a certain subject, the commissioner remind ed them that on.y facts would be con sidered by the Interstate commission In their view of the case, and he suggested tnat the attorneys confine themselves to facts as much as possible. The witness was confident that the Santa Fe had no interest in the case un der discussion except to deal fairly with every one. Advocates Present Plan J. R. Downs, station agent at RedlAnds for the Southern Pacific, was next called. His experience had taught him that the method of distributing cars on a per centage plan, based on the holdings of the shippers, was the only practicable one. He had tried both ways and found that the new system recently adopted by the Southern Pacific worked a hard ship on the small shipper. In case- of a car shortage he said it was th<- practice uf th<- railroad com pany no notify the growers that no cars were obtainable, and it would be ad visable to leave the fruit <m th>- trees. D. w. Pontius, commercial agept of the Southern Pacific, explained how he first obtained from the shippers an es timate of how many carloads they in tended to ship during the season, and then their figures were verified by ref erence to the growers, to ascertain if the shippers really had bought as many as they claimed. As a rule It was found that thr; shippers had overesti mated tho matter, and Mr. Pontius usu ally revised their figures. The witneSH also thought thr; present method of distributing cars could b<: much Improved upon In the matter Of notifying the shippers as to how many cars wen- to !>■ had. H. P. Monohun, station agent at Po mona for the Bouthern Pacific, proved a very Interesting witness, furnishing a great deal of information and Home amusement for the spectators. He, too, was In favor of the holding plan, which he found In use at Pomona when he became agent there nearly two years ago. He usually wired to the superin tendent at j in the afternoon the num ber of earn required at his station, ami the cars were delivered at 11 o'clock the same nigHt He never knew of the exchange holding a car lonK^r than un til 8 o'clock the same evening. When pressed for a reason as to why he thought the holding system the best method of apportionment during '■*■ P c " riod of car shortage Mr. Monohan re plied that it was because every one had an equal chance, while by the rule ut present in force a man with only one car to Ship would be crowded out by the larger shippers, who kept n dozen or more carloads packed and ready for shipment all the time. He explained further that under tl": present rule the consignor having the largest shipment ready was entitled to firs! consideration in time of a car shortage, and In his experience it bad been necessary to supersede the order with his own Rood Judgment In order to aid the small shipper to get hie goods to market. Up to the present year, the %vitnes» stated, them had never been any con troversy as to the distribution of cars on the holdings plan, but when the recent shortage began in February there had been several kicks. The com plaints were common, first on the short age, and then on the method of appor tionment Among others, the exchange and citrue union had complained, but the witness thouKlit that a shipper by the name or Qilmore had been the most insistent kicker. On cross-examination Attorney Dunn of the Southern Paciflc asked the wit ness why he had applied the epithet of kicker to Gllmore. and wanted to know exactly what Gilnio.re had said to de serve such designation. "I can't remember what he didn't say," replied the witness, iimld a gen eral laugh, "He claimed t<> have :!"> per cent of the fruit shipped from Pomona, but I differed witli him." The witness was reminded of his statement on direct examination, in which he contended that under the pres ent rule a small shipper could not for ward a single car, and asked If he could remember an instance of it. "I can," Monohan replied. He then told of F. Swan & Son, shippers ut Po mona, who had been compelled to hold a carload for a whole week, and would have been holding them yet If the wit ness had not adjusted the matter by going around the rule. "I won't ask the witness what Swan said," volunteered Attorney Dunn. Persistent questioning by Attorney Britt failed to shake the witness' opin ion of the two systems, and he denied that a small shipper would get tho first car if he ordered before tho others. He said: "The orders are to distribute the cars in time of shortage to the shippers hav ing the largest number of carloads packed and ready in the house, and a man with only a carload would never get a car." The heuring will continue this morn ing. WOMAN SUES FOR BOARD OF EIGHT-YEAR-OLD BOY Mrs. 71. Ft.

She now wants $73ti. or $S a month for taking caro of and boarding the boy. On the witness stand Mrs. Hawk told the court that Fields had never contrib uted to the boy's support since the mother died, nearly eight years ago.

It was represented to the witness that the 1,,.y would be returned if the man were removed. Since Ihen the patient died nnd Mrs. Hawk wants the boy buck, but his father refuses to surrender him, although the witness said she would rather keep him than have the money for his board.

WyßßßXHSmmlhllilllß/m/ml Weakness, Its Cause and cure \ Nearly every man suffering from so-called vi.ul weakness^ has a curable cause, which Is at tho bottom of the trouble. Tho main causes are] stricture, varicocele, enlarged Inflamed prostate, results of abuses and excesses, l badly treated disor- ders, etc., which obstruct the functional centers. When a man applies to us suf- fering from weakness we find and remove the cause Just Vhe same as an ex- pert engineer or electrician finds and removes tho cause whVn machinery falls to do Its work. We have no difficulty in curing these cases; *c. have cured them by the thousands. Wo have the necessary knowledge, 'skill Jjnd experience to find tho cause and give the proper treatment, thus putting the organs in a nor- mal condition when the weakness disappears, which was only a^Bymptom of the real trouble.

Varicocele produces a birneh of large.) knotted and twisted veins on the left side. They can bo readily distinguished^ by the feel.
