TO NAUcHT
State League Maanates Notified BY
President Ban johnson That War
fare with Organized Ball Means
Disaster for Them

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 2O.-The
proposition of the California state
league, referred to as the outlaw"
league, entering organized baseball,
was the subject of a conference yester-
day and last night between the heads
of the National, Pacific coast and State
leagues. The conference was attended
by H. B. Pulliam, president of the Ma
tional league; General Q. b. Taylor, one
of the managers of the Boston Ameri-
can team; J. Cal Ewing, president OF
the Pacific coast organization; Frank
Herman, president of the State league;
Manager Hen Berry of Los Angeles,
and the managers of the Fresno, san
Jose, Stockton and Sacramento teams
of the State league.
A meeting was held yesterday after
noon, another one last night, followed
by banquet at the ST. Francis hotel,
given to the baseball magnates by Gen.
Taylor According to President Ewing
of the Pacific coast league, nothing
definite was accomplished, and another
meeting will be necessary to arrive at
a satisfactory agreement.
Among the questions discussed was
the holding by the State league Of all
its players, with the exception of Blan-
kenship and Chase: the demand by the
State league that there shall be no sal
airy limits; that no players be drafted
from the State league without its per-
mission: that all players in the state
organization in bad standing with the
big leagues be reinstated. and that
there be no ineligible list. These were
a few of the conditions laid down by
the managers of the State league be-
fore thew would agree to enter organ
lied baseball under the control of the
national commission.
The leaders of the State league con-
tended that they had nothing to gain
bv entering organized baseball; that
they formed an independent organiza-
tion in their present form, and in gem
eral their attitude was one that did
not tend toward a harmonious under
STANDING or agreement.
President Johnson of the American
league made a plea for peace, and de-
n'ea red that If the State league wanted
war with the national orgsniza tinrs he
could forecast the end of the OUTLAW"
lea que.
While another meeting proba hlv will
he held. few of those in attendance at
the conference seemed to be hopeful
of a satisfacto agreement, unless the
state league adoptd more conciliatory
attitude.

Manager Fred Gregory of Flying
Whit Squadron Arrives and Issues
Challenge to Barney for Side

The big automobile meet to be held
at Ascot park track next Saturday
and Sunday now looks to be even
more interesting than was at first ex-
pected, as a car tnat surely will add
class to the meet is here ready to en-
ter in the races. +. G. FenneI, presl-
dent of the White garage OF Los An
geles, was Informed yesterday that the
White Flyer Will be here to enter. The
White Flyer, a White Steamer, one OF
the speeulest cars in the squadron, ar
rived yesterday with its racing crew.
1t was the White agents belief that
the squadron would not be brought
south to compete against Barney Old
field Soules and Hughes, driving the
Christie car.
Fred H. Gregory, manager of the
flying White squadron for the White
company, arrived in the city yester-
day and ISL determined on taking Old
fields scalp. 1t is with this end in
view that the White Flyer has been
brought to Los Angeles. For a long
time the White company has been am
bilious to win Oldfield's championship
title from him. They are in dead earn
est and intend to folloy the champion
until they wrest it from him, even
though it be necessary TO follow him to
eastern tracks.
Though the Whites captured a num-
Der of events at the recent races at
the Tanforan track in San Francisco,
and the White Flyer made the fastest
time of the day, Odfeld's included,
they were unable TO secure a match
race with him. The White people are
most DESTROYS of running a match race
with Old1eld of from five to ten miles,

SUNBRiGHTS WIN GAME
AND TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS

The sunbright Babes ball team de-
feated the Palms club yesterday after
noon at the Venice Athletic field by
a score of to for a side bet of $25,
which was posted with the sporting
editor of The Herald a week ago.
Several difficult plays were pulled
off by both teams, both in the field and
at bat.
The running catch of Right Fielder
Ruiz for the losers and another by
Figueroa of the same aggregation were
features of the game.
The Sunbright Babes made only one
error in the entire game, while the
Palms team was chalked up with five.
Pitcher Saenz was wild at times and
the winners were able to hit him at
will receiving eighteen bingles, all
told, off his delivery.
The pitching of Derenia was good.
Catcher Moxey, who was recently in
jured by receiving a fractured jaw,
was in the lineup of the winners on
the receiving end.
Following is the score and summary:

On account of the name many have
supposed that the car is a product OF

the factory Is located, is in Oakland

Time after time while Eecleston was
here he was called upon to drive the
car over Grand avenue, and every time
even with a five-p passenger load, the
car made good on the high gear. The

ners who got a hit.
The feature of the game was the
fielding and throwing of Mexican, the

Reo Bird for Sale Cheap

So many inquiries have been made as
to the price that Shelter has on the
REQ Bird that he had a placard printed
that answers the question oncefand for
all. He is more than usually modest In
setting a figure that would incline him
to part with the machine. It's value as
a drawing card is good, and the fun
that is engendered from listening to
the wise remarks made relative to its
construction and past record as well as
future probabilities is an esset that
cannot we'll be overlooked. Anyway, If
some man cannot get around on earth
as fast as he would like he has the
privilege of taking up Shelters offer
to sell the Bird for $14,500.
If the car is sold the $500 is to be put
In the bank and the $4,000 spent for
charity or fun.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-21
$50 as Fast as You Like" Says Judge

If Shelter had not beaten the speed
ordinance because of its not being
backed up with signs according TO the
state law he would have sacrificed the
REQ Bird to pay his fine. AS it was
he won the case by the whole matter
being thrown out of court. 1t was the
decision of the court that as the state
law had not been complied with by the
city in placing signs indicating the
speed limit that the speed ordinance
was invalid under the present circum-
stances.
Another point that was brought out
in the trial of the case was that the
signs do not state specifically as to
whether it is miles per hour or per
week or year,
Several of the signs have been placed
on the wrong corners of the streets
and are not readily noticed, as they
are not on the drivers side of the road.
Until the ordinance becomes effec-
tive nothing but the state law is OPP
erative.
