have been 1 to 0 at the end of the

MAURICE MORIARTY, at present

as the fastest professional base
ball player in Southern California.
Moriarty, who is tall and powerfully
built, ranks with the heaviest hitters
of the south, having led the Hoegee,
Morans and Pasadena mines during
various SERIES "Mory'' first attracted
attention when he played a remark
ably brilliant game for the st. Vincent
team at third base. He, in great
measure, was responsible for the five
straight championships won by the
crack Grand avenue club.
About that time Hal Chase and
Moriarty were regarded almost as at
even terms among the amateurs of
California. 1t was largely due to
friendship between Moriarty and Chase
that the latter was given an oppor-

After winning nine straight games in
row Harry Sutor gets the credit of
dropping two. Two tough ones at that,
it truthfully can be said.
The Oakland ball team has closed
deal with Houston whereby the
Oaks get Frank Truesdale. Truesdale's
regular position is at second base, but
he can play short as well, and when
the Oakland team leaves for Frisco
he will join the team there.
1t was rumored yesterday that Van

and he will report to that club shortly.
The brother of Ty Cobb told me yes
tcrday that his brother would play ball

1t is said that Danny Long does not
agree with the other directors of the
Pacific Coast league in having the
managers foot up the expenses, and
as result will endeavor to have the
same rule adopted that prevails in the
major leagues, which make the play
ers stand their own expenses while on
the road. There will be an awful howl
from the players if this is done with
out an increase in salary. IT hardly
think these plans will go through"
said Hen Berry yesterday. "Under the
present regulations the players all put
up at one hotel where the manager
can keep his eye on them. He can see
when they go to bed and get up. If
the players pay their own bills they
will scatter about and the managers
will not know where they are. 1 dare
say that some of the players will like
this If their salaries are raised to meet
what it will cost them on the road.
