Penn's Roger Reina managed to reverse McNerney twice while the 126-Iber. tried to shift to the cradle, then fell victim to McNerney's unorthodox but heads-up style for a 9-6 loss...
...downtown Los Angeles is so pervasive that other Angelenos sometimes refer to the area, with an edge in their voices, as "Baja Hollywood." Yet a strong Hispanic flavor is hardly surprising in a city that was founded in 1781 as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciúncula.

This, we would mention, is a gross inaccuracy, as all passengers, first, cabin and third, were informed that alternative means of transportation would be secured for them if they so wished and that this would be entirely at the expense of this company. By far the greater percentage of passengers...
