Special to Tha Inter Orean. t.03 A.VGELKS, March 12. A rain vhich will probably be southern Calltornia's last until nest October has prevented the last two games scheduled between Los An-gf J-s and Ihe Chicago Nationals. A game Is to be played at Santa Monica Wednesday, and the last between the two clubs is scheduled tor Friday in this city.

In all Its trips to the coast this is the first run of bad weather experienced In Los An-cples by the Chicago club. Felt of ringer ard ready to put up rhampionchip ball, the Cuts will leave their training quaters here next week. All the iren have enjoyed their vit.lt here as well as having benefited by ft, and they are In good enough condition right cow-to lln? op in the light for the 1H03 pennant. Aside from their daily work on the diamond here the Chicagoans have had plenty of ro.d. healthy amusement, and every man on th squad believes this is ihe test place at wht.

he ever trained. Bathing, fishing, and long walks on the beach hare served to lull the hours when the men were not out 01 the diamond sweating under the hot sun. The annual carnival begins at Ocean-park, oufv a couple of miles-from here, tomorrow, 'and there will be plenty cf excitement and Jon for the men the last few iays Ihey are fcre. The Chicagoans have made themselves very papular wherever they have been and have turned th? reputation cf being the mcft gentlemanly and best dressed professional bare-ball club that has ever visited these parts. Last night the final bop at rhe hotel was given In honor of the ball players.

Sfverul informal dances have been held during the tiT.9 th? squad has been training, but the affair tonight wa in the nature of 'Good-by, honey, I must leave you." Unfortunately M.cCarthy and his team were cn route to Eakert-field, to play the Taeonia team of the Pacific Coasl ioaue. However, there will probably be aiiother farewell dance for them on their rftara, and after Chance's teem has gone away. Selee la Pleased. "Manager Frank Selee Is well satisfied v. ith the; work of his men here.

Ke will not pre-dlc that Chicago ill laud the pennant this rear, but it la likely that, down in his heart, he thinks he has a Gag inning bunch. Ke hr.s worked hard with the men. and is wearing a genial smile these days, which un- cojtcdly means more in favor of The team thn he care3 to say. This week will be a busy one for the Cbi-emojans.

This is considered here a wonderful piece of work. Inasmuch ps the diamond was sot to their liking. It was soft and sticky, ami worse than that. It was a skinned diamond, something a White Sox testa has- r.ever been able to play well on. Manager Jones used three pitchers Smith.

Walsh, and Fiene. the youngster. All of them did exceptionally fine work. The work of Fiene -was particularly impressive. Three twlrlers were also used by the New Orleans management.

They were Breltecstein, Whlteridge. and Dacnehower. The weather was chilly, and only a small crowd was out. The next gaire be played bv the Sox and the Pelicars will be on Tues-enr, when the teains wiil take a trip to Thlbodeaux. where they will give an exhibition.

XEW YORK. March 12. The Coney Island Jockey club will start a night school next Inter for the exercise boys employed by the various stables quartered at the Sheeps-head Bay track. As there no eight school in that vicinity the managers of the club think it advisable to give the sprouting of the stable lads a chance to shoot. They believe education will improve the morals of the stable attendants and prepare tbem for other walks of life when the boys become too hsavy to ride.

The Island Jockey cluti has purchased the. old Dutch Reformed church, situated on Neck road, and It probably will be ia this buU-JJcg that the scholars will meet. THINKS GANS IS STILL CHAMPIO Al HerforcL.Passes Through En Route to Baltimore Young Cor-bett to Reside in Maryland City Hereafter. Manager Al Herford and Joe Gaus, the lightweight champion pugilist, passed through Chicago yesterday en route to Baltimore, their home city. Herford talked free-lr of the fight situation at San Francisco, which, he thinks, is rosy for the lightweights.

"The Pacific coast people want to see no one fight now except Britt, Jabex White, asd Battling Nelson until the lightweight title is decided," said Herford last night. "Young Corbett is still a good boy. but Is out of the race for thai title. He is taking good care of himself and was in good shape, but Nelson was too big and too strong for him. Corbett can still light at 12S pounds, and that is his proper limit.

He will reside in Baltimore hereafter and will fight all of them there, beginning with Kid Sullivan, hom many think a comer, shortly." Herford still claims Gans can beat, any of the aspirants for the lightweight title, and reiterates his offer to match him against the best. HENRY.

'V Through the vigilance of Policeman Carroll of the Desplalnea street police station the capture of Peter Vonacci, 19 year old, was effected yesterday afternoon. The boy lives in Hurley, and Is said to have stolen $100 from his father.

After securing the money the youth boarded a train for Chicago and was- followed to this city by a deputy marshal, who furnished the Central station police with a description of the boy. A search was Instituted for him, but "without success. In the. meantime Policeman Carroll's attention was attracted to a strange boy living in a West Madison street lodging house, who seemed possessed of more money than Is usual for a boy of that age. Carroll watched the boy, and yesterday afternoon: met the deputy marshal.

Tbe marshal ex-i plained that he was searching for a boy who had run away from Hurley. and Car-roll mentioned the boy at the lodging house. They hurried to tbe lodging bouse and the arrest of young Vonacci followed. A bank book was found in his possession, showing that he had deposited $45 in a savings bank.

NEW YORK, March 12. iimmy Britt, as Battling Nelson had expected, has sidetracked the Dane and will fight Jabe White, tbe English lightweight champion, next month, before the Tosemite Athletic club of California. Tom O'Rourke, who represents Charley Mitchell's Interests in this country, yesterday received a dispatch from Jimmy Coff-roth, manager of the Toeemite Athletic club, stating that Britt was willing to fight White before his club April 9.

Coffroth wanted the match closed at once, otherwise he would arrange another bout today for that" date. O'Rourke answered that he -would accept the date in behalf of Mitchell, who is manager for White. White, In company with Jem Bowker, Owen Moran, and Mitchell, is now on his way to this country! on the steamship Celtic, which is due here March 15 ANOTHER WEEK FOR ENTRIES. Closlns of Keaael Clan Liata Takes Ila Saturday. Entries to the lists of the coming bench show of the Chicago Kennel club will close Saturday, and a heavy volume of names, especially of Eastern exhibitors, is expected to pour In within the next few days.

Up to noon last Saturday 772 entries had been received, and the final week will probably list as many more. The number of canine varieties shown at American bench affairs has beeh steadily Increasing in recent years, and there are now, according to a list Just issued by the local kennel club. Just eighty different kinds of dogs of a clasa and pedigree sufficiently high to entitle them to representation. Many of these, of course, are ramifications of original stocks. For Instance, there are now no less than seventeen breeds of terriers and fourteen kinds of spaniels.

Hunting dogs are represented by the beagle, Chesapeake Bay, deerhound, two species of foxhound, the otter hound, pointer, two kinds of retriever, three varieties of setter, the wolfhound, and sundry field apaniels. It has been decided, after much discussion, that there la but one kind of collie, despite the great number of differing colora and sixes in the collie type. The corrected prise list for the show has 832 medals and premiums offered by the Chicago Kennel club and forty-eight cups, medals, and premiums offered by other cluba and individual donors.

NEW ORLEANS, March 12. The ex odus of horsemen and thoroughbreds to the North will begin tomorrew and continue during tbe week. Although purses at -the Crescent City and City Park tracks are much more valuable than those offered by the Washington Jockey club, owners be lieve that It will be much easier to secure first money at the Benaiaga track than M. L. Hayman 1 th leading winner among horse owners here.

He will take away with him, as a result of the winter race meeting, close to $22,000. This is tbe largest amount ever won by a single stable at tbe Crescent City track. War Uoea Merlly On. The turf war between the New Orlean Jockey-club and the Crescent City Jockey club goes on without a prospect of a settlement. Each association Is losing $500 dally Coder the free gate system a big crowd attends each course, buf there is no revenue from any except the ring, restaurant, bar, and telegraph, and the money thus received does not come within many hundreds of dollars of paying the running expenses.

The big Increase in the value of purses has made horsemen the real winners. Chris who started the horses all winter at the Fair Grounds track, will leave here at the end of the week for New York to become manager of the Brighton tieacn Racing association. His work with the starting gate was satisfactory all sea son, and horsemen yesterday gave him a Handsome loving Mnrray for Starter. William Murray, for years one of Fitx gerald's assistants, probably will act as starter until April 15. when it is expected the sport at the old course will Racing berina tomorrow and will con tlnue through the week at thf? Fair Grounds track under the auspices of the new Louisiana Jockey elub, the owner of.

H.firir Declare a Kmployera Err Is IleHardinK l-nhor an Commodity. In the last of a series of lectures on eco nomic subjects, jdettvered in the Y.

M. C. A. building. Professor John H.

Gray of North western university scored absolutism in Industry. He declared that capitalists had no more divine rights than had kings, and- that tne idea that an employer had the riaht to run his own business iu his own way was the outgrowth of tbe mistaken theory that labor is a commodity. He eald "that the capitalist who believed that labor was a commodity to be purchased the same as cotton or wheat, stood really roucb in nla own ligbt. as It was that Idea that had made the laborer regard waees as the only incentive to work. Wherever there distrust on the part of the employe toward his employer, he said, there was a deterioration in the quantity and quality of the work done, consequently as the workman became less efficient the profits of the employer were smaller.

"Our great capitalists of today are the absolute monarchs of previous centuries," he said. "But absolutism in industry is no more rational, tenable, or desirable In the twentieth century than absolutism in gov Neither is it consistent with an enlightened citUnship."

Joseph Steffel, who has been on trial for the past two weeks charged with the" murder of Hans Tritschler, an East Water street saloon-' keeper, was today acquitted by a Jury. Qimbing Those Stairs.

Everybody knows what a nuisance stairs are. The offices that men build have elevators yet business men don't need to travel stairs one-tenth as much as do those in the household and they could stand it better. How often it is that the telephone bell makes you race up and down stairs because you don't want to keep people waiting. How much of that tired feeling and other indisposition comes from stair-climbing only the doctor can tell. ft It is such an evil that recently a noted physical director advocated that women try going up stairs backwards because it exercised another set of muscles and rested the others.

But we suggest something more practical than that the extension telephone. It will put service on convenient floors, from basement to attic, will save dressing in a hurry, standing in draughts, calling around the house for someone besides climbing those stairs. Doesn't a housewife need con venience as much as a business -man? 7 And it only costs 3 or 4 cents a day (according to the contract you have). CHICAGO TELEPHONE CO. THE EULLm'l 2621.
