Pitcher Clark of the Percival ball
team last Sunday on the Agricultural
park diamond got ten strike-outs and
a three-b Dagger to his credit. Jim
Pearne, new second baseman, was the
star of the game and covered the bases
like a deer.
Much has been said and written
about the habit ball players have and
apparently cannot break themselves en-
tirel yof, disputing the umpire. This
practice dates back for many years.
Coach Kelley of the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club team told me the other day
that IL a player did not "chew the rag
with the Jump he thought he was not
in the game, and for that reason they
like to be Grabbing"
Eastern fans are head over heels
in love with the pitching of RUDE Wad-

the east.
Pitcher Ford, the lame boy who for
merly was on the mound for the San
Pedro Merchants, Is not winning as
many games for the F1orence-Graham
team In the Independent league as he
did In the California winter series.
Ford gets good support in both the in

about. 1.-The last two innings and then his
team goes to the bad.
