The Athletics produced their ten runs off of fourteen hits, seven walks and three hit batsmen, and five errors. Anaheim's nine runs were seven hits, four walks, one hit and six errors. The Athletics scored five times on five hits, interspersed with a couple of walks and an error. In the third inning Anaheim came back strong, making three runs on two hits some good base running and a couple of errors. The visitors did not score again until the seventh when they crossed the pan once, repeated it in the eighth and doubled the dose in the ninth. The locals did not score after the third until the ninth, when they landed on pitcher Lewis for four hits, which with a couple of costly errors gave Anaheim four runs and would have given them the game had not Umpire Abbott gotten in his crooked work at this stage. He call scores of all the games played on any one Sunday has not appeared in any of the city papers, only two or three clubs getting a slight mention. Another thing regarding this most wonderful of press agents, and that is that he has never been able to furnish the correct line-up of any team booked to play on the Anaheim diamond. Conditions have not always been this way locally. When our old friend "Red" Perkins was on the job all the data necessary was sent in plenty of time for the local papers and for whatever poster advertising the club management wished to do. Mueller was here Sunday in the capacity of manager of the Athletics. Besides this team there is the Henry & Cornett club in the same league, and it's dollars to pickled pigs feet that one of these teams will win the pennant in the Southern State and the dinero that goes with it. The by-laws of this league state explicitly that "no manager of this league can play any other player belonging to another team of the league without a written release from the manager of the team the player or players come from." And still big chief Mueller brought young Harkness here with him Sunday and would have put him in the game had the occasion arise. That's the kind of a sport that is in reality at the head of the Southern State league. Oh, you Mueller, and your plaything, Abbott. Errors were rather numerous on both sides. "Google" was there with the glad hand and the cheerful smile. Say, what a bunch of "rough-necks" the visitors were, especially the pitcher. A baseball hat would have fitted his cocoanut just about right. The by-laws state that any player using bolsterous or profane language shall be benched by the umpire. What about Pitcher Lewis of the visitors? Perhaps Mueller does not think the kind of language used was bolsterous or some good base running and a couple of errors. The visitors did not score again until the seventh when they crossed the pan once, repeated it in the eighth and doubled the dose in the ninth. The locals did not score after the third until the ninth, when they landed on pitcher Lewis for four hits, which with a couple of costly errors gave Anaheim four runs and would have given them the game had not Umpire Abbott gotten in his crooked work at this stage. He called one of the Anaheim runners out at the keystone sack when the second baseman himself admitted that the runner was safe, and again he called another runner out at home when he was so clearly safe that his decision was rediculous. Du Bois was wild, very wild, and in the first few innings was unable to locate the plate, and when he did the umpire generally failed to see it. A new man by the name of Haber played left field for the locals and he is some ball player, too. He is to be a regular feature.

Notes of the Game The particular feature of the game was the work of Umpire Abbott. His decisions were about the worst ever, and besides, he had absolutely no control of the players. The local team paid him $3.00 and expenses for his work and counting what he is both sides. "Google" was there with the glad hand and the cheerful smile. Say, what a bunch of "rough-necks" the visitors were, especially the pitcher. A baseball hat would have fitted his cocoonut just about right. The by-laws state that any player using boisterous or profane language shall be benched by the umpire. What about Pitcher Lewis of the visitors? Perhaps Mueller does not think the kind of language that "rough-neck" used was boisterous or profane. It's a safe bet that Mr. Abbott won't umpire another game of ball in this town soon. Talk about a sore bunch of fans—well, yes. The Grand Bowling Alleys will be here next Sunday. Cheer up; maybe the worst is yet to come. A well-known sporting writer has the following to say of Walter Johnson, the idol of all good baseball fans in Anaheim and the Oil Wells: "Setting new records for the opposing boxmen to hurl at is a regular hobby with Walter Johnson, the phenom of the Washington Nationals. Last season Johnson set a record by whiffing 316 batsmen. This year Walter was not quite up to his standard as a strikeout artist, but just the same hung up a new mark. "In a game against the Naps in the latter part of the season, Johnson pitched but 69 balls during the entire nine innings, winning his game, two to one. This beat all to smash a record set by Christy Mathewson, two weeks before, when Big Six pitched only 93 balls to retire 27 Red batters." "Johnson set the Naps down with four hits and did not issue a base on balls. Mathewson's performance in the way of base hits was even better, the Reds hitting him safely only twice. Like Johnson Matty did not walk a batter. Johnson whiffed six battles, while Mathewson's strikeouts total only four." "The record set by the National's pitcher shatters all marks in the big league. The former record was 72 made in the minor leagues. Johnson's record should stand for a long while, the only possible one right now to break it being himself, but baseball is a funny game, and something may happen at any time." DESCRIBES THE GAME Anaheim Girl Sees Berkeley Triumph Over Stanford Notes of the Game The particular feature of the game was the work of Umpire Abbott. His decisions were about the worst ever, and, besides, he had absolutely no control of the players. The local team paid him $3.00 and expenses for his work, and counting what he is supposed to have drawn down from the Athletics, he probably made a pretty fair day's wages. The great and only Carl A. Mueller is directly responsible for this misfit of an umpire, whose action was a dirty contemptible trick, and the baseball fans of Anaheim will not stand for it a second time. This man Mueller is at the head of the booking department of the Henry & Cornett sporting goods house in Los Angeles, and has so far this season organized two or three amateur base ball leagues in Southern California, solely for the purpose of benefiting the firm he represents in a financial way, and if lovers of the game are suckers enough to stand for his rotten work, all well and good. So far as Anaheim is concerned, it had much better withdraw its team from the league than stand for a repetition of Sunday's affair. Games can be secured without the assistance of Mr. Carl A. Mueller. As well as being secretary and treasurer of the Southern State league, this bird is also press agent, but a press agent without a home, as he has practically no standing with any of the Los Angeles papers. Since the organization of this league the tabulated "The record set by the National's pitcher shatters all marks in the big league. The former record was 72, made in the minor leagues. Johnson's record should stand for a long while, the only possible one right now to break it being himself, but baseball is a funny game, and something may happen at any time." DESCRIBES THE GAME Anaheim Girl Sees Berkeley Triumph Over Stanford An Anaheim high school girl now attending the University of California writes the following account of the Berkeley-Stanford football game to her parents in this city: We left Berkeley at about half past nine Saturday morning and left San Francisco at eleven. Of course we were terribly excited all the time. When we arrived in Palo Alto we had something to eat, then went to Stanford and walked around the campus. Of course the buildings are very pretty, but the campus is all so barren—no trees and shrubbery like ours. I think it is nice to have all their houses on the campus, and I think the girls have a dandy time, but it is more a college and ours a university. Anyhow, I like California. We went over to the bleachers and everything was bristling with excitement. Both sides were giving their yells and songs and then the whistle and then the California team came out with their blue and gold jerseys, white knickers, blue and gold socks, and black shoes. You know, the Stanford field is a green turf field, and the men looked so pretty coming running out tossing each other the ball. Our bleachers nearly went ANAHEIM GAZETTE ROYAL BAKING-POWDER Absolutely Pure MAKES HOME BAKING EASY Light Biscuit Delicious Cake Dainty Pastries Fine Puddings Flaky Crusts The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar crazy, they yelled and beat the drum, then every man in the rooting section sent up little streamers of blue and gold papers and took off his hat. Some had white handkerchiefs tied on their heads, others blue bunting, others yellow, and as the team came out, off came their hats and they stood, and here was the huge blue jumped up and down and yelled. Oh, it was great. But Elliot failed to get it over the goal in the try. Nevertheless, our rooters yelled and sang on as the ball would get down towards Stanford's goal, our men gave a sort of chant of "Fight, fight, fight," with the drum keeping time. But Stanford did score, but also failed in her try.

Some had white handkerchiefs tied on their heads, others blue bunting, others yellow, and as the team came out, off came their hats and they stood, and here was the huge blue bear with the gold C. Everyone went wild, then, as you can imagine. Oh, it was so exciting. Then the Stanford men came out with red sweaters, white knickers, red socks and white shoes. It was such a pretty sight. They all looked so clean and strong, and ready for the great fight. Those men had two big universities back of them. Imagine how they felt. Everyone of them knew he had to do his best to hold the honor of his university. We were all simply tense. The referee came out in a white suit, the gun was fired and the fight was on. The first twenty minutes were terrible. First the ball would be almost on California's goal line, then Stanford would work it back and then finally we scored. Can you imagine the excitement and yelling. I just jumped up and down and yelled. Oh, it was great. But Elliot failed to get it over the goal in the try. Nevertheless, our rooters yelled and sang on as the ball would get down towards Stanford's goal our men gave a sort of chant of "Fight, fight, fight," with the drum keeping time. But Stanford did score, but also failed in her try. Then we made another goal and got the try. It was fighting back and forth over the field with intense excitement till the pistol closed the first half. I simply was weak; I had worked so hard. The second was as exciting as the first, although we kept piling up the score; but Stanford never gave up. They worked like soldiers till the very end. At the pistol our men simply fell off the bleachers and headed by the three yell leaders serpentined around the field throwing their little blue and gold rooter hats over the gold posts. Then winding up with "Hail, Blue and Gold," everybody standing, and every man with his hat off and at last with a mighty Oski Wow Wow, it was all over, but it was so exciting. Stanford was very game, and sang and yelled after it was all over, but quite sad and disappointed. LOOK at our $25.00 Tailor Made Suits Before Purchasing Elsewhere. N. P. HANSEN 122 E. Center St.: Anaheim, Cal. seen that of the total population of the county of 34,551, 77 per cent or 26,541 is within the road districts traversed by this route, and of the total valuation of $30,003,740, 70 per cent, or $20,889,290 is within the bounds of the same districts. Approximately 91 per cent of the population and 86 per cent of the valuation is within five miles of this proposed route. The proposed road is the principal thoroughfare through the county from Los Angeles to San Diego in good condition, and nearly all practically level with no bad grades. "Second—Should it be decided to connect Riverside and San Bernardino with the main highway in this county, we would recommend that the route, shaded green, along the Santa Ana river through Peralta, Olive and Orange, connecting with the main highway north of Santa Ana be adopted. "This would be the shortest connection with the main highway—deducting the portion in the city of Orange, and would place that city, the second in size in the county, on a state highway. It would also give San Bernardino and Riverside the most direct route to Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, their nearest coast resorts, and ones largely patronized by them. It would also connect with the main highway at the most advantageous point for traveling either north to Los Angeles or south to San Diego. Very respectfully, Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce. M. & M. Association of Orange." No Other Way These recommendations might be taken to mean that there was some other way to connect Riverside with the main highway than through Orange county. There is no alternate proposition under the act than to connect through the Santa Ana canyon.

This act puts it through the coast counties, by the most direct and feasible route to connect the county seats of these coast counties, and join their centers of population. Any one ought to be able to lay this out if the object be to follow the highway act. Orange and Santa Ana At a meeting in Orange the following recommendations were adopted and forwarded to the State Highway Commission: “First—That the main highway be located through the county following closely the line of the El Camino Real, as outlined in green on the map; commencing at the northwest corner of the county on an extension of the Los Angeles County-Whittler road and passing through La Habra, Fullerton, Anaheim, a point one mile west of Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin, Irvine, a point one mile south of El Toro, and Capistrano to the San Diego county line at San Mateo Point. “The attached map shows the assessed valuation and population by road districts, from which it will be AMERICAN SAVING OF ANAHEM Start an account today— There may be a hole in your pocket THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23 FEDERMAN'S Special Sale This Week MIES' and GENTLEMEN'S SWEATERS Reliability--Durability in OAKLAND Automobile, the Car that makes good under all conditions and sells at a the reach of any one who is prepared to own a machine.
