The standing of the clubs in the California
League to date is as follows: San Jose San
Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland.
The silver cup representing the championship
OF the Pacific Northwest League is on exhibi-
ton at Tacoma 1t is a beautiful piece of work.
The Chronicle is the only San Francisco paper
that thinks the scheme of consolidating the Pa
clfic Northwest and California leagues not FEAST
bic.
Pacific Northwest talent seems to be in great
demand in California. The latest addition to
the Oakland club is Willie LANCE, seattles clever
young catcher.
Judge Fallon, of the Harlem circuit court, has
decided that the board of aldermen cannot com.
pei the New York club to cover the bleachers at
the Polo grounds
Ed NJ. Daily, noted ball player, died at Wash
fngton City few days since of consumption.
Daily made his reputation with the Philadel-
phis league team.
Hutchinson, the crack Chicago pitcher, will
receive s65 a month from the Rock Island Il
Pacific railroad for clerical work at the Cedar
Rapids Office this winter.
Californians are beginning to agitate the ques-
ton OF whether the games in which Shea, Bor-
cheers, Huston and other Pacific Northwest
League players take part are legal.
George Borchers says he does not want any
salary until the season is over. The big twirler
is viewed with suspicion by the California mag
mates on account of his former habits
Ed o'NeiI, whose pitching for Seattle was
about wild and untamed as a broneho that
never saw a saddle, has bobbed up in Oakland.
Strange to say he had fairly good control of his
first game
Henry Grady, the Southern journalist whose
monument was recently unveiled at Atlanta,
Ga, was the leading spirit of the club of that
city which won the championship OF the
Southern League in 1885 and 1886
Billy Hamilton, who led the League in bat
ting this yaar, is the only small man that ever
attained that distinction. Heretofore such
giants Arson, Brouthers, Connor. Kelly,
O'Rourke, Gore and Dalrymple have carried off
the batting honors.
An exchange says: Everything looks toward
the Portlands being in the California League
next season." If the para raph had read sin
g. l, Enk-r
elude the California clubs" it might come TO
pass, but placing Portland in the California
League is an absurdity.
Pat Flaherty, who played third base for spo.
kane, is one of the neatest and most reliable
players in the Pacific Northwest League.-Sport-
ing Netss. Patsy certainly made plays neat
enough to draw forth plaudits from the ladies
in the grand stand but ask the beachers to
his reliability.
W. Z. Rockwell, at one time q member of the
famous Union Pacifcs, of Omaha, has just been
elected president of the Pacific Northwest
League This well-deserved compliment TO
Rock well, for during the two years that he has
acted as secretary this league has been very sue
cessful. 1t is safe TO say that he will aequit
himself well in his new position.-Sporting Nelcs
Billy Earle, who was with Tacoma in 1890,
and who has done splendid work for Sioux City
this season, has signed with the American
Association team OF Boston, for next year. The
little globe-trotter had batting average OF 900
in the six games Sioux City played with Chi
cago He made dozen hits to twenty-four
times at bat and saved to game by rafting
home run.
There were eight captains on the field dur
ing the past season who graduated under An
son. They were: Kelly, Cincinnati; Duffy,
Boston; Earle, Minneapolis; somers, Evans
VILE: Glenalvin, Portland; Tebeau, Cleve-
land; Van Haltren, Baltimore. Next year there
will be two more-Fred Pfeffer, OF the new
