man occupied first base during the en-
tire game. H. 1. Ball (probably High
Bald furnishes the information in
letter, as follows:
Il send in the following for the in
formation of some of our fans Hus-
tiers versus Rustlers, 90. eleven inn
ings. Hits-Hustlers 5, BUSTERS /. Not
man reached first base on errors,
base on balls and, further. not a man
occupied first base during the game.
How could it happen?"
Just how a batter could make a base
hit without occupying first base is be-
yond my ken. He might have done ii,
but the rules of the game must have
been revised for the occasion. VIII the
fans write me their views and give an
explanation of the strange situation-if
1t is a situation?
Connie Mack has made much use of
Rube Vickers, the former. Coast Lacquer,
this season. Rube has worked in twen-
ty-one games this season and won
eleven. When one considers that the
Athletics have not been a big factor in
the race Vickers' showing is not half
bad. Any one pitcher that wins half
his games, or more, the first season
out in major league company is pitch
ing real ball. Mack is right sort of
manager for Vickers, who is a quitter
when things are going wrong for him.
Mack is full of Jolly" or salve, or
whatever you like to call it, and he
spreads it all over Rube, just as he did
with the other Rube-Waddell-- first
season he was in big company.
'I would like to see this drafting
business done away with remarked
Hen Berry to friend the other day in
San Francisco. 'It puts us in a hole.
1, for one, do not want to let go good
player, but would like to keep every
man have for next year, but what am
to do? Take Dolly Gray, for an eX-
ample. 1t is a cinch he will be drafted,
but presume will be able to sell him
for tidy sum. l either must sell him
or allow some club to draft him for
$1,000; but I can get twice Mis- amount
if sell him. This forces me to do that
whicn is against my desire.
Eyes, there are other clubs after my
players, but 1 have no direct offers.
The Cleveland club wanted options on
Ellis and Hosp, but 1 replied nothing
stirring 1 did tell Frank Chance that
would give him the first crack at
Easterly, If he developed, but I have
done no business. AS I say, I would
like to see drafting stopped. If the
major league clubs want player, let
them buy him outright. We need so
many men in the league from now on
that drafting breaks us up every way.
According to present indications. Oc-
cidental college will lose the services of
their crack pitcher this season, as Roy
Thacker has decided to take to farm
ing with his father. This will be quite
a loss to the Highlanders, as he has
been their mainstay in the pitching de-
partment of that institution. The first
three years he was in college he be-
came a crack track man and made
several points for his team of the up
per class division.
When the Angels come home next
week there may be a new face on the

playing on the San Jose team in the

questioned was greeted with applause.
He concluded his remarks by asking
that every man vote for the bond issue
and for every woman who had control
over anv man to use her influence to
have a vote cast for the bonds.
He also told of the occasion when the
fleet was anchored off San Pedro when
twenty seven automobiles were broken
down on the road between Los Angeles
and that city. He said some one had
asked him If it was because the ma
chimes were not in good condition. and
he replied that it was because the
roads were in poor condition"
Tf the enthusiasm that prevailed at
the meeting last night manifests itself
election day the bond issue is an as
sured thing.

before the meeting. Jim Mccormick,
manager of the Venice team and pres
ident of the league, was stubborn in his
opposition to the adoption of the sched-
ule presented by the committee, and as
a result the majority of the directors
left the meeting in disgust. Another
meeting was held last night at the
Hoegee store attended by five man
ayers of the six clubs. 1t was an ex-
ecutve session. They tried to effect a
compromise between the individual
members of the league. but 1t was inn
possible. A meeting was called for to-
night, at which a new schedule will be
adopted, and all clubs will start over
