which begins its schedule this aft
Il ternoon with the Glendale team in
the Suburban league has some of the
fastest semi-professional players that
can be found in this neck of the woods.
In the miscellaneous ranks they nave
won eight straight games, with De
renia, the fast little box artist or the
u. S. c., on the mound. A. Ellis, the
backstop, is considered one of the pest
catchers in the league. c. Ebert, VINO
acts as manager and first baseman,
cannot be beat as a first-sacker, ana
never misses a chance to make good
throughout the entire game.
Nicholson, the center fielder, is con-
sidered one of the best hitters OF the
club and Is speedy in running the
bases, McCarty, the left fielder, also
is a good batter and a brilliant fielder.
Dunn. the third baseman, is a good
sacrifice batter and will compete with
any man in Southern California as
base runner and in making three-base
hits, of which he has made hve IN
eight games. Joseph DeMagg1o, right
fielder, is a sure hitter and runs the
bases like a deer. Lindland is one OF
the best shortstops in the league and
practically plays two positions at once.
Mccoy the substitute right fielder, is
another safe hitter and always makes
two or three hits in a single game. he
may be seen in big league shortly, as
several managers in the professional
ranks have been after him for several
weeks, but to no avail, as he does not
desire to leave home just yet; j. VIII
son, also connected with the team,
plays a good game on the infield and
always is there with the big STICK
Just before the San Francisco team
left Portland for home sneak broke
into their dressing room and stole $25
in small sums from the players, who
were on the diamond when the ROBBERY
occurred. Browning, who had $125 in
one of his socks, saved his money by
this thoughtful action. Captain Mon
Ter has an idea as to the identity OF
the thief and arrests may be made
within the next few days
The Herald has received a new sup
ply of score cards of regulation size,
and will be pleased to give them to all
managers who desire them. Call at
The Herald office any time from to
IL: 80 o'clock.
The Chicago Bloomer Girls baseball
team arrived Thursday, and after see
ing the sights on the Kite route they
went to Pomona, where they were de-
feated by the Pomona high school
team by the score of 4 to 8. Yester-
day morning the girls took the first
car for Santa Ana, where they were
shown through Orange county as the
guests of A. e. Hawley, and played
the Santa Anas in the afternoon.
Notwithstanding the rumors that the
State league clubs would not play out
the league season, the manager of the
Santa Cruz team comes through with
a letter and makes a strong denial.
The Slough City baseball team has
several fast infielders in Hal Chase,
Danny Shay, Moriarity and Kid Joyce.
The latter is not there much with the
willow, but he can play the difficult
corner with the best of them. There
are mighty few ground balls that es-
cape this bunch of hit gobblers.
Curtis Bernard of the Los Angeles
team is on the hospital list with rheu-
matism of the arm, and may not get
back into the game until the latter
part of the week. In the meantime
George Wheeler is holding down the
cushion in a manner that Is highly
pleasing. Howard will be with the
team soon and then he will have
chance to show whether he can de-
liver the goods as we'll as Uncle George.
