Two clubs in the California winter
league are putting claim on the title to
third position in that organization.
The Pasadena and the Maier clubs both
claim the honors of running for third
honors, and in all probability the dis
pute may have to be settled by Presi-
dent Harry Lelande at the next meet
ing before the money can be paid over
to the winners.
Manager Teddy L. Syvertson of the
All Star baseball team of this city Is
burning midnight oil in sending chal-
lenges to the various out-of-town clubs,
and so far has sent out more than one
hundred letters. The latest to receive
one of Teddys letters was Manager
Harry Dexter of the Pasadena club.
Dexter said he may pick up a strong
team from the grammar grades to play
this All Star aggregation, but as far
as playing his team, there was moth
ing to it.

school team Saturday afternoon on the

four men who played it to the very

are Pfeffer, Dunlap, McPhee and EV-

fellow of the name of Lajoie, whom
Ryan might add to his list without
doing much heavy figuring or think
