That a good player in the state
| league will be treated as If he was q
member of a team of organized base
| ball by the eastern magnates was
| proved in the case of Frank Arellanes
of the San Jose team, who has gone
TO play with the Boston Americans.
The club wanted Arellanes so much
/ that It not only agreed to pay him $2500
for the remaining four months of the
season, and a round trip ticket but
gave the San Jose club $1,000 for his re-
| lease, and along with this, clearance
papers were purchased from the San

The Pico Heights baseball team is
considering joining the Southern state
league. The Pico Heights have been

that the Pico Heights nine should stay
in this class just little longer before
entering faster company.
I have noticed that several clubs in
the Saturday miscellaneous ranks ap-
pear upon their respective diamonds in
uniforms of all colors of the rainbow.
Last Saturday, when the Los Angeles
Gas Office nine played the River Bros.
team, which was out in new uniforms,
the Gas company boys disported in any
old thing, and put me in mind of an
old crazy quilt. The River Bros team
has won eleven games and is a fast
bunch.
