last week paid his compliments 10 Norris
O'Nei in the following terms: " Captain

| Patterson. \. j.. where he has gone to visit
his mother. Tip expects TO return with q
| number of ball-players for the new Oakland
| nine next season. l question Colonel LON 5
good judgment IN giving O'NeIl the power 10
select PLAYERS for the home nine. Indeed. 1
dc. not believe that Tip can pick out hrSt-
| class ball-player when he sees one HOW
| ever, If the men whom he proposes 10 sign
! hear very much of his talk they will GER
| tainly change their mind about coming TO
| Oakland. Tip once had th0 nerve to In
! form me that he never read any California
| base bali news; that he never cared snap
| what the newspapers said about him, and
that he had no interests in Oakland and vas
only interested in Eastern baseball. L am
told, however. that every sporting day The
Captain used to put up nickel Tor a paper
and then sneak UP to his room To read what
was said about him. ONeu IS known as
the stingest man in the baseball pro
| fesSion."

Fred Roberts of the Sacramento Baseball
Club says lie may 90 to the 81, Paul Club
this year, as lie has received offers from the
management thereof Bowman may go
East also, as there is q slight difference Of
| opinion between himself and the Sacramento
| managers as 10 what his salary should be
the coming season. Manager Finn is trying
TO secure the services of McHale for the San
| Jose Club. Bob" wont leave Sacramento
however. Bowman, Roberts, McHale and
| Hoffman were the only Sacramento players
who were not led into the Southern Califor-
MIA League. keitz Is batting harder than
any player in the South. He has changed
his tactics and is striking right -handed.-

Marco Hellman, the young man who has
done so much TO promote the interests of
baseball in Southern California, has an
nounced his permanent retirement from the
baseball business. 1t will be a matter of
news to many to know that MIR. Hellman
has actually invested In baseball through
out Southern California the sum of 81, 900,
and about three-fIths of this sum will be a
total loss. While there is a probability fUI
MI. Heilman TO rccoup himself by con thu
ing TO further baseball matters in this sec
ton of the State, he has decided to give W
this branch of business, and devote his en-
tire time and attention to his private bust
ness aud his eState.-los Angeles Times.

Owing to the carelessness of the Califor
mia League officials in neglecting to p5epar
the averages of players it is probable tina
none of the medals offered by local cham
payne agent will be distributed for som,
time. Averages complied by party no
connected with the league office have beer
presented TO Mr.. LaDgenderfer, the holder
OF the medals That gentleman said that
| while he did not question the correctness
of the tables, he would not give out the
medals on any figures not bearing the stamp
OF the Secretary of the league. The men
who are entitled 10 the prizes must now wait
until Mr.. Finn figures out the work Of the
season.
Colonel Robinson is reported TO have the
following men on his list for the coming
season: Catchers, Kinds of Burlington and
Pete Lehman; pitchers, Willie McGill of
Cleveland and Stevens OF this years Seattle
and Burlington teams; first-baseman, Char
ley DOoley; second, Hutchinson Of Chicago;
third, Ira Phillips; and Outfelders, Cantil-
| lion, McQuade "a brother of Umpire Nc
Qlade) and Danny Long.
| a rumor is current in Santa Rosa that
Henry Harris has signed Pace, the young
catcher Of that town. The story goes that
| the amateur player has been signed condi-
tionally. II he is a success he will be re-
tanned 1t would be difficult to say how the
rumor originated. Harris has practically
| engaged an Eastern catcher, and may posi-
bly, sign noted local man to alternate as
| backSLUp.
