To be sure it will. The team Is in
it is eclipsed by a performance of
Clarence Beaumont in a game against
Pittsburg July %, 1899, when Beau
mont faced Lefty" Piatt six times.
He got six hits and scored six runs.
Batter makes hit. Can a faster mar
run for him without consent of captain
of opposing team? Claude Allen.
No. Switch can be made, but batter
out of game unless, of course, opposing
captain gives consent to substitution.
Runners on first and third. They
| pull off a double steal Does each
| runner get credit for a steal? Frank
Mohler, jr.
The Herald gives each runner such
credit, providing effort is made to put
out each. Some papers do not give
such credit, however.
The project of President Cal Ewing
of the Pacific Coast league to have a
big baseball tournament for class a
pennant winners this fall looks good
on paper and if 1t was feasible would
be a great scheme and probably would
attract a large attendance. The idea
is not feasible, however. A consider
able time would elapse between the
close of the playing season in the other
leagues and the time for playing on the
coast, and it would be next to i'm
possible to keep a team in condition
during that time. In addition, the ele-
ment of expense almost would be
controlling one.
Reports from the east are to the
effect that the double umpire system
will be adopted next season, as most
of the managers of the big league
-. hon
saying that the double umpire system
would be welcomed by the fans of
Southern California, as several of the
managers already have so expressed
themselves and promise to bring 1t be-
fore the directors of the different clubs.
The Pacific Coast league directors also
are thinking of adopting the system.
Reports from the east are that, in
all probability, Mike Donlin will not be
with the New York team next season.
A fan asked this question the other
day: "Will the Los Angeles team win
the Pacific Coast league pennant this
season."
S2500' as first prize and so on. Big talk,
the lead, and do not forget it will re-
turn next Tuesday with a fair lead,
and a brass band will be at the sta
ton TO meet the boys and escort them
up town. Hen Berry said the other
day in Frisco that there is no team
in the league that can beat our boys
out of the rag, and he ought to know.
Gee, but the baseball magnates are
getting game in this neck of the woods.
Palmer of San Diego and ]. S. Allen
the other day liked over to Pasadena
and had a heart-toheart talk with the
manager of that club, Harry Dexter, and
among other things 1t was said that
each team in the winter professional
ranks will have to deposit $1,000 and
that the winning team will receive
$2500 as first prize and so on. Bib talk,
boys, but do not think this deal will
ever carry, as the managers who place
their money up are not millionaires,
and, furthermore, 1t Is unreasonable
to ask any team to place that amount
as a guarantee of good faith, for 1t
would only tend to show that the
cream" of the professionals that will
be here for the winter months no doubt
will try and get on the strongest ag-
gregation in the south. 1t was pro-
posed to have San Diego, Pasadena,
San Pedro, Santa Ana, Azusa and San
Bernardino as the out-of-town team,
with two clubs in Los Angeles.
Fred Pfeffer twirled a fine game for
Baltimore the other day, defeating the
Newark nine 3 to 2. oh, yes, Fred has
a little more left in him yet, even if he
is the grandfather of baseball.
Frank Smith may never wear White
Sox uniform. again. Smith is a sulky
chap, and Manager Jones may tie the
can to him any day.
The eastern press has forgiven Tim
Flood for his tendency to slug umpires
and create general disturbance on the
