The Caiifornia contingent in the CITY
4gell with fondness on the fact that they
viii once more have chance to see their
- favorite Joe Shea. who is Golden
G0te product. Walter Wallace, of San
Francisco, who is universally recognized
- the highest authority on baseball mat
hrs on the Coast, has this to say Of Shea

Seattle club:
Joe Shea has been one Of our leading batsmeu

The subject of the above tribute was
horn in San Francisco in 1866, measures S
feet 10 inches and weighs lS3 pounds. He
commenced playing professional ball in
1885 with the Greenwood q Morans Of Oak
land, and confined with them during SO,
81 and 80. In so and 90 he was with
San Francisco. In the California league
records of last year he stood twelfth in bat
ting, with an average of 263, second in base
running and run-getting, and first in sacri-
fee hitting.
Another man whose worth is calling
forth fiattering testimonials is big Lew
Echoeneck. The Portland, Me-, corre-
spondent of the Sporting Life writes of him
as follows:
Louis schocneck. the giant first baeeman, who
played first on Portlands last ball nine, Is living
here this winter. He wss then the leading frst
baseman In the New England League, and has
never lost his popularity with Portland people
The minute the proposed club Is organized here,
big EFFORT will be made to sign Schocneck. He
would be card at once and says he would like
to play In Portland although he has two flatter-
Ing offers. For two years he has been with tho
New Ravens, but he did not play the closing
three weeks of last season because the manage
ment cut down his salary to reduce expenses
He had very fiatteriug petition from hundreds
Of New Haven people q few days ago, asking
him to play In that city again this year.
