Manager Morley has made a wise
move in endeavoring to complete a
dicker with Uncle Henry Harris and
secure the services of "Wally' Waldron
in the Seraphic left pasture during the
remainder of the season. Arthur Ross
is one of the cleverest and most effec-
tive fielders in the Pacific Coast league
when he is right, but if Artero thinks
he can play better ball with the Seals
he evidently has good reason for reach
ing such a conclusion. His sticking
SO far this season has not been such
as to arouse unbounded enthusiasm and
ball baSters are exactly what the Ser
aphic squad needs in their 1905 pursuit
of the red rag.
In addition to being stellar per-
former in the country Ross probable
successor is quite handy man when
it comes to finding the sphere for life
OF the cushions. "Wally' has a timber
average of .276 for his efforts at the
plate last year and his figure of forty
eight stolen bases shows that he can
pull off annexation ceremonies with the
sacks when necessary.
Walden is far from a certainty,
however, and it is not improba BILE that
the artist will strengthen the forces of
NJ. Harris rather than pass the time
soraping the cover off the ball for the
Morleyites. But here's hopin'.
"Slats" Davis is reported to be UNI
piring great ball around S Frisco and
therea bouts. The Opaque gentleman
has cultivated a great diligence and as
siduty. Said diligence and assiduity
consists, mainly, in deducting V and X
marks from struggling ball players
monthly dividend. The Indicator hold
er has passed out twenty-five fines in
the first series and now has the lad
dies eating out of his hand. Problem
How much will the league Bursar de-
duct from one Charles Graham, some
time of Tacoma, monthly wage when
the Tiger backstop holds a few of his
affecting little interviews with Indica-
tor Davis? The first correct answer
received will be entitled to a hatful
of free passes to the first cricket match
played in Los Angeles.
Russell Hall will show EN- how its
done this afternoon. Russ has been
singing the ball at a two minute clip
and seems to be about the only Siwash
who can be depended to counter on the
sphere in pinch.
Russ says he will see to it that his
charges don't finish in the ruck and
that when the field rounds into the
stretch he will be there with a few
left.
Los Angeles seems well able to stand
the increased admission price. There
We're some murmurings of disapproval
when the ukase went forth that two
more nickels would have to be dis
gorged before one could enter the por-
tails of Chutes park, but fandom has
submitted to the inevitable and SORROW
fully shows the necessary pieces.
"Heinie would have got it" has be-
come a nightmare to visiting artists
of the big init. 1t matters not whether
the sphere is fouled off into the next
township-the backstop is surely to be
admonished of the TeutOns infallability.
Charlie Graham evidently thinks that
there is something quite uncanny about
Won Spies ability to get under the
feathery ones, Some one whispered
to Charles that "Heinie would have got
it, one day last week whereupon the
former Santa Clara captain turned and
making sundry and divers warlike ges-
lures the while in the direction of the
seer. quotha "Heinie is er porch climb
er" Some boys have such tempers.
