geleS Giants, OlynplcS ana tne ouHSel
Beach teams.
Cleveland had fifteen men on the
bases the other day against the High
landers. A good record for one days
work.
It was quite a surprise to the many
friends of Umpire John Bouett In the
Independent league when he severed
his connection with that organization

To show that The Herald is appre-
ciated as the only up-to-date, i've
journal in Los Angeles that caters 10
the amateurs, several orders have ar
rived lately from the various amateur
managers. The latest to subscribe is
Manager AL Hoag of the Meeks team.
Next.
No matter how small the item may be
in the amateur line The Herald desires
to give 1t publication. Managers are
requested to send in their tabulated
scores of Sunday games also.
The race between the Lukes and the
Pendos for second place in the 1ndepen-
dent league shows that there is some
class to the players in that organlza-
ton. The Home Council continues TO
hold on to first place, eight won and
three lost.
Hoffman of the Pendo team has de-
yeloped into one of the hardest hitting
backstops of that league.
One amateur pitcher, whose name I
do not feet inclined to make public, is
the hardest loser in the Independent
league. After a recent game ne went
to his dressing room and really ana
truly shed salt water tears.
Doc Newton of Norwalk is not only
great hitter, a grand chap and an nom
est man, but he can manipulate the
turgid udder of the muley COW, harvest
the esculent roasting ear and make tne
Industrious potato bug get hustle on
In other words, Doc Newton is some
what of a farmer.

club in the southland where semi-pro-
fessional players are not connecteu @ shn1,. %rSr
that club. Guernsey says ne Will SHOW
his friends that he can pitch some as
we'll as play handban.
By the way, talking of handball, that
puts me in mind that the st. Vlncenss :
college has a crack team, and II any OIL
the clubs desire to play the Grand ave-
nue. team it can be arranged by apply
ing to Coach Mooers at the college.

Coi7 a
Home phone during business hours.
| Jimmy Whalen says that he will join
the San Francisco club of the Pacific

It is said that Danny Long mas oHereo
| him a $500 bonus to affix his name TO
! contract and pay him 500 more per
month than he gets at Sacramento 10
play with his team.
College baseball has been rather over,
shadowed by the all-conquering nine OF
| Occidental college, which has consist
emily outplayed it's rivals during the
past season. Friendly relations should
be maintained next fall between st.
Vincent's and u, S. c., so that Occiden-
tai. Pomona and Whittier colleges could
play off a series to settle which has the
champ team Of the south. This year
only Occidental and Pomona met on the
diamond in these friendly events.
