San Jose and Los Angeles
to Play Today.
The Last Two Games Of the
Season.
Ball Players Whom Glenalvin Ex-
poets to Play.
An Offer Wired to stafford-O'Rourke
Not Yet Signed-A Spicy Letter
from Glenalvin-Peter Jack
son Heard From.

There Is considerable anxiety among
the running horsemen about spring
meetings. The associations in Califor-
MIA are little backward this year in
announcing their programmes. 1t is
high time that the Blood Horse associa-
ton of San Francisco began to show
their hand. The prospect for spring
meeting in this city is not very encour-
aging. There is some talk of organizing
jockey club to give spring meeting.
If this is done a sensational meeting
could be gotten up, provided good
money is hung up. The number of
trotting and running horse men that
contemplate going east this year is
simply astonishing. This means that
the California public will have to con-
tent themselves with seeing the "skates"
constantly at the fall meetings.

How would Dooley on first, Glenal-
vim on second and O'Rouke on third
suit the Los Angeles fans? Dooley has
not signed this year and could doubtless
be secured. He is very popular down
this way and Mr.. Vanberbeck would
make great coup by securing Dooley.
The goodlooking Charles played for the
really first professional baseball team
ever organized in this city. Dooley is
very partial to Los Angeles and would
rather like to be "Citrus Better"

Glenalvin, the Los Angeles captain,
is very witty. Here is an extract from
one of his letters to Mr.. Vanderbeck:
GAS wrote you before, I have
phenon in view, and | may give him
shake at my own figure. What draw
ing card he will be, Van. If you were
to see him you would fall dead. He's
lulu. A regular IT Willy They say
he can put them over the plate with
swhiskers' on their chins.
"Melt West sent me his terms at $3.50
q month-a long contract eleven years
! believe)-two hundred and fifty bonus
for his autograph. and fees for his fam
lily to Europe and return. Pretty cheap
man, eh Van? Here's a young man
who evidently should take the gold
treatment, for he has an ample appetite
for that which lures. Oh, he will come
down and down; low at that. This
fellow is no mean shakes of a player,
though; only he don't know how far the
limits of the great twelve club league
extends, for he evidently imagines Los
Angeles in it. Well, Van, am going
slow and sure"
Danny Minnehan and Milt West, first
basemen; Mcmahon, James Stafford
and Hart, pitchers, and Traffiey are the
names of all ball players, one or more of
whom are liable to be signed for the
Los Angeles team. West is holding out
for too much money, go the Los Ange-
les first baseman may prove to be Min
nehan. He is Western league player.
Mr.. Vanderbeck yesterday wired an
offer to Stafford and may land this
clever pitcher for Los Angeles. He was
with Worcester last season. Montgom-
cry P. Nevins is the name of coming
young twirler who may be on the pay
roll of the Los Angeles club. Glenalvin
and O'Rouke could not agree on terms
at last accounts, but deal may yet be
fixed up. Ii go, Los Angeles
will have star third base
man. There are two Harris who are
professional pitchers, but the one with
Lincoln and Sioux City last season is
probably the better pitcher than the
Hart who was with Duluth, although
the latter is much the better hitter. 1t
is not known here which Hart that
Glenalvin is after.
