AMONG THE BOYS

George Baldwin has returned from
San Francisco, where he handled the
Lucky Baldwin string after the close
of Santa Anita. He Is undecided where
he will race this summer, but in all
probability will ship to Seattle and try
for the numerous stake events at The
Meadows. He engineered the coup by
which Lisaro bumped the bookies at
Emeryville recently at 30 to 1, but says
he had down the smallest bet of the
season and did not make any cleanup
worth mentioning.
Frank Remission loves a joke, but
when his associates in the Hoffman
billiard and pool parlors got in the
habit of going home at nights and leav-
ing the electric lights burning against
orders he thought it about time to do
something, so he organized the Light
brigade" taking in the following men,
bers. all of whom hold office in the
club: Frank Remission, headlight;
Arthur Seymour might; Red Robin
son, redlight; John Oswald, bumlight;
Eddie Hookstratten, cigarlight; Flo
Israel, Israelite; Henry Berry, search
light; Phil Newhouse, newlight; Ham
oliver, toolight. When anything wrong
with the lights is found the first mem
Der Frank finds must set 'em up. The
society is in rebellion already.
Bernie Bernard, the crack center
fielder of the Angels, who has been out
of the game for several weeks owing
to- the necessity of attending examina-
tions at the medical school, left Tues
day night for San Francisco to resume
his place in the Angel lineup. He says
there Is no doubt that the team will
hold onto first place in the series with
the Seals. The fans will be delighted
of nd ho G
game.
Jack Doyle, the man who made YER
non famous, is so delighted with the
large attendance every afternoon at the
workouts in his gymnasium that he has
decided to put up a fence thirty feet
high around the training grounds, i'm
prove the gym and provide another
miniature grandstand for the con-
venience Of the fight fans who ride out
that way to see the fighters work out.
He also proposes to have ladies
day" occasionally SO that the women
folk may attend, upon which occasions
the he-fan will find it extremely diff
cult to get along in peace with Jack
unless he behaves.
Dick Dunnigan, barrister and club
man, writes from New York that he
has granted himself an additional
thirty days vacation and Will take a
run up into Canada and return home
on the installment plan, seeing the
sights and enjoying life. He has been
gone a month and Is much missed
round his old haunts, especially at
the Los Angeles Athletic club.
Ellis. Cohn has INDUCED in the ex-
travagance of a vacation. While this
evidence that he is inclined to become
spendthrift is worrying his friends,
he feels that he has earned the rest, as
it Is his first outing since he grew to
manhood, many. many years ago. He
went to San Francisco to look into
sporting affairs and note the progress
made in rebuilding the great city. He
will return Sunday.
Tom Stevens likes joke about as
much as any man, but since Portland
has been hanging onto the tail of the
Angel kite SO persistently he has de-
veloped threatening case of nervous
prostration, and when he found 1t Inn
possible to stand the strain any longer
he hunted up doc" Bernard and i'm
plored Chats the wordD him to hike
for Frisco and get in the game, telling
him 1t would be no use for him to
hang around any longer IL he failed to
see to it that the Angels came home IN
front next week. If the Angels should
lose first place this week 1t will be
necessary to call out the fire and police
department to take charge of him.
