.TAMES MCCORMICK, manager OF
the Mccormick ball team, Is a
- little peevish over the defeat last
Sunday by the Colored Giants on the
Joy park diamond and Is willing to bet
his money, property and his pool room
that the Giants never saw the lignt Oh
day when they could down his team.
Happy" offers to play the Giants a
series of five games for a side bet of
$500. or will play the said series for a
side bet of 500 for each game. Jim
saws that 1t was because of freaklsh
luck and poor playing of his team that
lost the game. He makes this PROPOSE
ton just to show the baseball fans OF
Southern California that he still mas
confidence in the ability of his players
to defeat the negro team.
Bill Goodman of the Hoegee team
was on the warpath yesterday, and all
because Secretary George M. Ward,
manager of the Edison team, is trying
to bring to a close the California Sum
mer league series this week instead OF
playing one more week. Only one
game stands between the Edisons and
the Hoegees, and Bill thinks he has
chance for first place If Ward Will give
him a game. Goodman says that the
Winter league series could be post
poned for one more week In order to
witness the diamond battle between
these two clubs for the Summer cham
pionship.
The Santa Ana baseball team has sew
eral new players on its lineup as fol-
lows: Keller, pitcher; Cleveland
catcher; Robinson. first base; Allen,
second base; Lon Franco, third base;
Brown, shortstop; Dubois, left field;
Angle, right field; Coleman. center

Lee Wolf and Hugh Crittenden, Man
ager Dexter's star players of the Pasa-
dena club, arrived from Marysville, Mo-,
yesterday. Babe Asher and "Bugler
Walsh will arrive October 20. CLARENCE
Marshall Will be seen on the mound.
Marsh" played with the Beavers last
summer and is g. good man. The Los
Angeles manager is trying to secure
Jimmy and Jake Wilson for the Pasa-
dena team. Dexter has a lease On the
grounds, signed by the Southern Pa
cific, and states that the hotels and the
Pacific Electric will donate funds to
keep the game up to the standard of
other clubs in the Winter ranks.
Lawrence G. Fernandez, who has
been umpiring in the California SUM
mer league, will leavesfor Conny, Mich
yaean, Mexico, shortly to act as man
ager of a large planning mill of that
city. Fernandez was very popular with
the players )of the southwest, as his
umpiring was of high class. and the
various club managers regret that he
is leaving Los Angeles.
President Roosevelt is not the only
big fellow who can wave the big stick.
President Hermann of the State league
made Jerman of the San Jose team see
the Hal Chase matter In a different
light at the special meeting of the
directors Ia San Francisco few days
ago. Jerman has no more claim to the
services of Chase than he would have
to any Los Angeles player. Just be-
cause Hal was born in San Jose Jer-
man had an idea that he belonged to
his team.
1t certainly looks like business with
the directors of the State league. In
the next few days President Hermann
is expected to arrive in Los Angeles to
confer with Hen Berry.
Manager George M. Ward of the Edi-
son team will take his club down to
San Diego next Sunday to play the
Pickwicks of the southern town. Tickets
already have been sent up for the
game.
Following is the belated tabulated
score of the Huntington Park-Holly-
wood game of last Sunday afternoon on
