Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-17

ID players that went from this city
~ to San Francisco Is Eddie Reid,
formerly of the Christopher-Levy ball
team, who is at present playing with
the San jose team of the State league,
which is leading with a fair margin
and with a little consistent pushing
will no doubt win the pennant or the
State league. Reid has made quite a
record for himself both at second base
and In the outfield and has taken part
in ffty-three games and has only MADE
ten errors throughout the entire series.
Reid has played five games at the
keystone sack and one game behind the
timber. For several months Reid was
one of the fastest base runners In the
California Winter league and had the
honor of leading his team in the per
centage column before going for the
big league circuit. In letter 10
friend in Los Angeles Reid desires IN
formation regarding Player Kimmeriy'
who formerly was connected with the
same aggregation. A few days ago the
San lose team defeated Alameda by
the shutout route, the score being
3 to 0. In the first inning Reid COM
pleted two of the most difrtcult circus
plays that has ever been pulled OH
on a northern diamond. McHale hlt
what looked q three bagger, when
ground and retired McHale at
the home plate. There is possibility
of Reid returning from the north our
ing the winter months, as II is nucIi
warmer here than in the north; IN Iact'
said Reid in his letter, there Will De
several northern players winter In the
south.
The Dyas-Cline team in the Southern
State league should ginger up and play
better ball, for in the past three OF
more games they have always loSL III

ton, who manages the CLUB, mas seen
ft to sign up several new players from
other fast leagues in Southern Call
fornia. Manager Peter Hansen and
also the press agent kid or the Soutn-
ern State league has released Maize, the
crack little third baseman, TO the Qyas-
Cline team. In releasing Maize HAN
sen does not know q good ball player
when he sees one, as Nalle was ABOUT
the fastest base runner and inhelder
that ever donnedA uniform In the
Southern State league, and it VIII be
many moons before he can ma sorne-
body to fill his position at third
The two best games played In the
Southern State league last Sunday was
between the Dyas-Clines and the
Dolgeville club, which went to the Ielt
workers by the score of to U. Ruhllhg
of Dolgeville allowed only two hlts'
Pitcher Ruhling of the Dolgeville
club has developed into one or the fast-
est slabsters in the Southern state
league, having lost only one out OF the
seven games played so far this season.
Les Welton, right fielder of the Dyas-
Clines in the Southern State league and
formerly of the Tropico team, Is trying
to raise a pompadour and came to the
meeting creating considerable eXclte-
ment by having his hair cut to the
scalp and as a result is suffering from
a very bad cold.
The Rivers baseball team may play
the Orange county Y. M. Q. A. a series
of three games during the Saturday
afternoon games, and letters have been
sent to various managers Of the sunny
south in quest of games.
Pima and Chess have been signed by
the Rivers brothers and no doubt Will
put up good exhibition of the national
game, as both are heavy stickers

At the meeting of the Southern State
league held last night it looked for
while that the league would bust up,
= and there Is a chance of the Dolgev1lle
} team Withdrawing from the circuit II
matters are not patched up. The game
between the Dyas-Clines and the
Dolgeville team last Sunday, wnicn was
protested by the Dolgeville club, was
. wastebasketed, no official action being
taken in the matter whatsoever. Man
ager Jaw Welton and Andrews of the
Dolgeville club decided to place the
matter to a vote to see which club
would sever it's connections, ana al
though Dolgeville did not resign in
| sinuations were cast to that effect. 1t
was decided to use the double umpire
, system hebeafter in all games, the sim
+ gle umpiring being to the bad with
! several Of the managers of the league.
Rivera. leaders of the Southern State
league. is playing good ball and is far
, away from the next club by over 100
points.
Sam Rafferty,, the crack pitch
er of the Thistles ball team, WILL not
play Sunday ball no more for while,
according to his decision which he rem
dered last night. The cause of Ranerty
retiring from the semi-professlonal
ranks is because school days are back
and Sam will devote most of his time
to study. The Thistles will lose good
man in Rafferty,, as he was one or the
fastest tWirlers in the league and de-
feated several of the best teams about
this neck of the woods in the miscel-
laneouS ranks
Now that the umpire question has
: been settled why not pass 1t up to the
different managers of the various clubs
to insist on the opposing manager hav-
ing each umpire officiate behind the bat
as well as behind the pitcher?
l Do not worry fellows, the Bloomer
Girls baseball team will be here Satur-
day morning, and to tell the truth OF
the matter several managers have been
burning up the wires into The Herald
office in quest of games. One little boy
. not any older than six years got lost
while with friends on q Downey street
car and as a result he was much richer
. and more wise before he started out.
After arriving at the police station his
little brother, who was just able to tell
his name, said that he was George
Bondie. and that he resided at Fourth
and Chicago streets.
At the meeting of the directors Of the
: Suburban league last night 1t was de-
cided to play ten weeks instead OF
, twenty games, which was first pur-
I posed. The Redondo baseball manager
was absent, but through an agent he
: posted with Treasurer Perkins his SIS.
