The morning call., 1892-05-02


San Jose Manager Harris resignation as
secretary Of the California League was ac-
copied and President j. j. None appointed
to the vacancy. There were present at the
meeting Finn, Robinson, Vanderbeck and
None, who met to settle dispute regard
ing the schedule over which Vanderbec
has been so industriously kicking. There
were several squabbles, but they finally
adopted compromise schedule to run until
June /. The northern managers objected
to five games at Los Angeles on the ground
that five were too many for that town
At present San Jose is the only team that
plays five games in the citrus belt, and Van
derbeck thinks that five with the other Wis
iting teams would draw as we'll. They will
be given a trial this month with the extra
game, and if the City of Angels will stand
the additional game the schedule will be
revised so as to give that town five ga mes
on each. and every trip. A few other mat
tiers of minor importance were disposed Of
Secretary Harris resignation was due to the
arduous nature Of the duties imposed by
the Office.
BY the settlement of the schedule dispute
Oakland will make trip south this week.
After the fuss with Vanderbeck last week
Harris fixed up q Toute-Sheet, which he
sent to San Jose for the signature of the
young Napoleon. He at first demurred,
claiming that his team was getting the
worst of il on every deal, but he was swung
into line at the meeting yesterday. Ii was

Robinson had disclosed his intention of
boycOtting Los Angeles unless Vanderbeck
came TO time, but this was probably one Of

without playing ball.
Proprietor Vanderbeck returns to his
southern sunny home with eight games out
Of 10. He found pretty smooth sailing until
he struck San Jose with his aggregation,
and change for the worse took place in
his prospects. The Angels won the first
game in the Garden City, but have been
unable to do anything since but suffer
straight defeats. The visitors kept up their
stick work, but were clearly outplayed by
the two-time pennant winners, who worked
through the last two games without an
error.
Before the home series opened Rob in son
said he would win the whole five, but
Harris was not at all startled by this tar eat.
Two in O series seems 10 be the cOlOuePs
limit, and he is fortunate to win that many.
The team he has now is equal in playing
strength to any in the league, but has sud-
denly fallen off in batting. Six hits in two

As far as could be learned the colonel re-
leased but one man during the week. This
was Lou Hardie, and Oakland is said TO be
all torn up over the sad event. If he is not
restored 10 duty couple OF the social clubs
that have private boxes at the grounds will
withdraw their patronage, go they say. If
they do, 1t will be we'll for them to give
notice 10 that effect-otherwise their absence
will never DO noticed. The prospects are,
however, that but few more games will be
played across the bay.
This week Harris and his young men will
play series OF five games with the cham
piOn Dukes, who have been playing great
ball the past week. The locals have also
been in the race, though in two Of the
games the COionels have given them a tight
squeeze To Fanning'S effective work, is

are about equal in playing strength, but
