q AN FRANCISCO, July 12.-That
~ the Pacific Coast league will lose
~ no time in laying it's plans for an
increase Of, at least two clubs and
possibly four clubs for the season OF
1909 was evidenced today by the state
ments of Henry Berry, owner of the
Los Angeles club. Berry goes to Sac
ramento tomorrow for an interview
with Ed Kripp, the Sacramento man
who is to have the franchise In the
capital city.
"We possibly may have eight clubs"
said Berry. but at the meeting on
Wednesday night we will arrange def
inately for two more-one in Sacrament
to and one in Southern California. The
people interested in the southern part
of the state are business men who are
ready to put in their money and go as
far as necessary to have a live club.
That will give us continuous ball in
Los Angeles, just what the fans have
been hollering for"
There is a heap of eloquence In the
brief news that comes from San Fran
cisco regarding the expansion of the
Pacific Coast league. The meager news
is to the effect that a meeting of the
league directors has been called for
San Francisco for next Wednesday
night, when franchises will be awarded
to Venice and Sacramento applicants
for membership in the league. When
this is done, as 1t surely will be done,
the league will have expanded and the
uncertainty regarding continuous base
ball for Los Angeles will have taken
wings.
This is a decided victory for Hen
Berry and proves that the good ma
tured manager of the Angel team not
only has great influence in the league
councils, but is dead set on making
good every promise he ever has made
to the Los Angeles baseball cranks
Hen left Los Angeles last week for
san Francisco and said, before he
boarded the train, that he was going
to the northern city for the purpose OF
getting Cal Ewing, president or tne
league. to call an immediate meeting
OF the directors for the purpose OF
awarding the Sacramento and venice
If is Hens idea that immediate ac-
tion is necessary In justice to the peo-
ple who are backing the sacramento
and Venice clubs, as to wait until tnS

AFTER RECORD
UP OLD BALDY
PAUL REINWALD WILL CLIMB
AGAINST TIME
BELIEVES HE CAN LOWER BEST
PREVIOUS MARK
Austrian Athlete Proposes Lone Trip
as Portion Of His Training for
Mt. Wilson Contest Next
November

Paul w. Reinwald mas announced
that he will make a trip to the top of
Old Baldy next month and establish a
record for the climb. He will be timed
at the start by Charles ]. Fox, and at
the top by William Gottlieb, a well
known New Yorker, who is summersng
at Sierra Madre. Although mountain
climbing races are somewhat of nov
city as yet in this country, they prom
Use to become prominent feature in
the world of sport. The climb by Rein
wald will be the beginning Of several
weeks Of training which the climber
plans in preparation for the next Mt.
Wilson climb, which Will be held in
November
Relnwald is 35 years of age and was
born in the mountain region of Aus
tria. His boyhood was passed in d
little village that was surrounded on
all sides by high mountains. and he
passed most of his time in scaling
these, and there he laid the foundation
of the powerful physique which he pos
sesses. At the age of 10 he started to
learn the cabinet makers trade. but
there was little opportunity for this in
the village, so he decided to go out
into the world His first impulse was
to walk, and it was on foot that he
wended his way over the mountain
roads. 4f
For ten years he tramped through
Austria, Hungary, Switzerland. Ger
many, France, Italy, Turkey and
part of Russia. He returned to his
own country and six years ago came TO
the United States, locating in Chicago
He came to California one year ago,
going directly to Pasadena. The MORN
ing after he arrived ne climbed to the
top of Mt. Lowe. 1t was the first time
he had done any mountain climbing IN
FIVE years and he was delighted. Since
then he has put in all his spare time
in mountain climbing.
| On january he made the round trip
up Mt Lowe in seven hours, including
many rests. March he made two
| trips up Mt. Wilson and return. His
time for these two trips was eight
hours, and Is remarkable when 1t is
considered that he rested at the top
| on both trips. 1t was this trip that
attracted the attention of Charles j.
Fox, and he consulted with sReinwald
| and made arrangements with him for
the Mt. Wilson climbing contest, which
last April aroused great interest among
western athletes.
Before coming to this country ne
climbed the noted Matterhorn that
towers above the Alpine range. He
also has climbed the Tyrolean noun
tains in Austria, and many other
mountains throughout Germany.
He recently made a climb up Old
Badly in six hours and fifteen minutes.
returning in four hours and twelve
minutes. He started from San Antonio
Heights dressed in heavy clothing and
carried q. thirty-pound pack consisting
OF blankets and provisions on his hack.
When he makes his climb in Septeffl-
Der he will wear nothing but a pair OF
black tights and heavy climbing boots.
He expects to make the climb in five
hours.

only will be worthy representatives OF
the two cities, but will be good draw
ing cards at home and abroad.
1t may be considered as an absolute
cinch that the franchises will be
awarded Wednesday night. Berry,
constitute a quorum, and McCredie
probably will be represented at the
meeting by proxy. However, the meet
ing would not have been called had
1t not been a certainty that Berry, Ew-
ing, Long and Walters had consulted
on the subject and agreed upon the
action. If they are agreed the fran
chises are assured.
The fans not only want continuous
baseball In Los Angeles, but they want
to see the league enlarged by at least
two clubs, and would much prefer eight
clubs, as then the interest that would
be aroused in the league race each sea-
son would be increased by having more
clubs in the flag contest. Six CLUBS
will make a dandy circuit, but eight
clubs would dignity the pennant chase
with greater Importance and a wider
interest The fans see Oakland, Port
land and San Francisco faces on the
home diamond so much that the indi-
viduals are known by sight ana are
spoken to with all the familiarity that
comes from long association.
With eight clubs In the league, which
would mean that Seattle and Tacoma
would be brought back in the fold,
there would be a sufficient variety to
the penant race to make 1t interesting
to the fans. AS II Is now the Coast
league Is much like bush league.
with only four clubs and the same old
panorama with only three changes
every season. Eight clubs would re-
uuire an expansion in territorial pos
sessions and would bring In every city
of great prominence and size on the
coast and then the pennant chase would
amount to something as contest be-
tween the great cities of the coast. The
games would draw materially greater
attendance all over the circuit and
everybody would be pleased, even If
only Los Angeles could win the pen
nants.
Hen always makes good his promises
to the fans and his success In causing
the league to begin its expansion policy
at SO early day, really fastening the
expansion by his own vigorous cam
paign therefor, is evidence that he Will
be able to keep his promise Of continu.
Gus baseball for the Los Angeles
cranks next season.
AS was reported in these columns last
week, the business men of Los Angeles
are behind the movement to put club
in Venice and at meeting last
wednesday night they gave Berry
the proper assurances of all the fnan-
cial backing required to finance the
team. This means that Venice will
have a contender in the pennant race
next season and the team will be a
worthy representative of the seaside
city. Mayor Harper is one OF those
enterprising citizens who is willing to
be identified with the new club.

WELSH GOING NORTH
AFTER SHORT BOUTS

Freddie Welsh is going to San Fran
cisco tonight to get into the game up
there for the next month. He is get
ting impatient at idleness and wants
to be picking up little change all the
time, so he will try to get a few profit
able short bouts arranged to MI IN
the next three or four weeks. He thinks
this will keep him on edge and enable
him to train for his scrap with Nc

and at the same time pick up little

to his training. of course, but will get
a good start up north while keeping in
