SPORTING EDITOR HERALD: At your
request send you budget about the
team that will represent Los Angeles
this year in the California Baseball
league.
"The Angels" are now getting into
prime shape, and think you will find
that we are all going in to win in earnest
Every day the whole band HE them.
selves out to Recreation park and there
they run, bat the hog hide and field
until sunset. / notice visible i'm
provement in the work of all the men,
and believe another weeks work will
bring every man in prime shape.
Stafford, the last man to arrive, is as
anxious for the season to commence as
any of the old "hosses." He is fast
getting into ship-shape condition and
the way he speeds them in is caution
to timid batsmen. He has slow ball
that is immense. Roach is as anxious
as any and pegs away at it like good
fellow. Both pitchers will be in shape
for the opening game and our oppo-
nents had best look we'll to their laurels.
McCauley on first, is "a sack" into
which thrown or batted balls immedi-
ately find rest and quiet repose. 1t
would be hard matter to find better
man for this position in a long, long day.
Hassamer at short is success, and l
am sure that he will play the best ball
of any man in his position in the league.
He is moving about like young colt.
and the man that said "Hass" wouldn' t
do missed his guess. am not afraid OF
the short stop. If second base is played
as we'll as we'll as short stop, first and
third, l tell you we will be "in it,"
[The writer is little modest. Los An
geles will have reason to be proud of her
second baseman. He will be the king
pin second baseman ever seen in the
California league. Ed.
This fellow from up Gin the swamps"
who has been saying that our man
Hulen wouldn't do had best haul in his
sign, for he will Immediately be set
down as "luny" as soon as "our kid"
gets in his first league game. "The kid"
is conner. 1 believe he is as good a
man as 1 ever played with, barring
Tommy Burns of the Chicago league
club. l am not afraid Of third base-oh
no, not this season.
Then there is "Old Hoss" Redway iE
left field, who is as nimble and spry as
a jack-snipe in harvest field. He is
lining them out and pulling them out of
the air in way that would drive old
Pete Gladiator Browning into musing of
those glorious times when che used to
line 'em out" during the short-lived
Brotherhood days. Fred has always
caught the fans here, and they swear by
him as they used to by their late boom.
Some fellow in telling what he knew
and what he did not know (and partic-
ularly a GOOD deal of the latter concern
ing the makeup of the Angels, said that
Rasty Wright could not field and was as
slow as a coach "hoss' on holiday
parade. Well, well, well. am afraid
he was. going off half cooked, for Rasty
is doing some phenomenal fielding down
in these parts, and his active movements
are in keeping with his splendid work
all around. The pitcher that fans Rasty
is corker, can tell you, for he makes
'em come every whack.
Emmet Rogers, who says he is only

handles himself like ''vet." "Rog,"

play better than ever this season.
If he does, look out for some phenom-
email work, for he is good man at any
stage of the game and quite astonished
the natives down here by his splendid
work in our game with San Diego on
Wednesday.
Jack Newman, who safely brought old
"Pop" McCauley over the hills and
dales between Indianapolis and Los An
geles and who walked through the
crowded streets Of Kansas City with old
''Pop" hanging on to him like grim
death for fear of getting lost, is as spry
and clipper as young lobster. Mack
says Jack curls his hair every night like
a young girl "preparin' for high school
commencement" but to this Jack dis
sents. One thing is sure, Newman is
going to do some fine work during the
coming season, and no one will be more
pleased than old Pop" despite the
funny things they tell of each other.
Thus "The Angels" pull together, and
that is what is going to bring us to the
head of the class.
