xT yesterday I passed the noon
Y recess in the school yard Of st.
n Vibiana, corner of Los Angeles
and Second streets, and, my. what fun
those little fellows had playing with
tennis ball, batting 1t out for
three -baggers and home runs 1 was
informed by one bright-eyed, tow
headed kid that 1t was the same
stunt every noon hour. There were
some larger boys who acted as the
battery for the respective clubs, but
the best little sprinter and rungetter
was "Lollie' Morrisey, brother of Tom
Morrisey of the Thistles. who, while
was present, made q double, a single
and a home run.
"These boys are baseball players from
the sand lot variety" said one OF the
sisters. "and let me inform you, my
dear boy, that they play just as hard
an article Of ball as those fellows in
the larger organizations. when 1 first
came to this institution" continued the
sister, 1T knew little about the national
| game, but now enjoy witnessing those
little children play. think 1t Will
| make ball players out of them, and Tor
that reason the faculty Of the school
has no objection to them playing with q
| soft ball."
| Playing baseball with q tennis ball
| is a great idea, and from the way the
game is played by those little midgets
II affords one great pleasure to witness
| these scrub games for the junior play
ers, as they take as much interest IN
them as the big players OF the racine
coast or eastern leagues. "Lollie" Nor
risey is acting as catcher for the st.
Vibiana team and does well for child.
Stockton lost few points last Sum
day by playing the Fresno team, while
the Sacramento club walloped the San
Jose team In both games. The Fresno
game was a good one and many sensa-
tional plays wre made.
The Sacramento team has won six
straight games by the zero route up to
Saturday. The Capitol city boys are
putting up. a rattling fast game at
present and will be there when the PEN
nant honors are being distributed.
Jimmie McHale, who was signed by
the American Boston team last spring,
arrived In California yesterday and
stopped over at Fresno to visit friends.
Harry wolters fattened his batting
average the other day at the expense
of the Oakland team, gathering five
hits In as many times at bat. He
turned an ankle in the second inning
and was compelled to retire from the
game.
Hooper is one of the most improved
ball players In the State league and Is
said to be slated for the big league next
year. He is good in all departments OF
the game and Is speedy on his toes.
Southern California fans are anxious
ly awaiting the arrival OF Frank Are
lanes from the east, as he is desired by
several teams in this neck Of the woods
to do the pitching for them. Arrelanes
writes to friend that he has been
given permission to leave the Boston
American club on their western trip,
and he leaves for Chicago next Thurs
| day.
| Guess there was not some class to
| the game yesterday, Mr.. Fan.
Mott. who formerly played on 9
| Southern California club, Is playing
good ball at first station for the Fresno
team. He made two or three gooc
stops at that cushion.
Reagan, a new pitcher from Joplin
| was tried out the other day by the
| Fresno team at short and covers nrsi
base In fast time. He hits the ball on
| the nose every time and his whip Is q
beauty.
