Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-09


The managers of the teams which
comprise the Interurban Baseball
league viii hold their regular fort
nightly meeting Wednesday evening
| August II, at 1887 South Broadway.
AS this is an important meeting every
manager is requested to be present.
It cost Manager Ward of the Edi-
sons S1.50 for three two-base hits, at
so cents per hit, yesterday afternoon.
The Edison baseball team, which will
journey to Bakersfield September for
the purpose of bringing the crack
northern team into camp, has chal-
lenged the Bakersfield boys to play the
September contest of the series for
theater tickets for every member Of
both mines. AS yet no word has been
received from Bakersfield regarding
this proposition, but if the local boys
put up the same brand of ball which
they have been displaying about Los
Angeles it is a safe bet that they will
listen to northern prima donnas and
watch the pretty ballet dances. for
| which Bakersfield is noted, at the ex-
peuse Of the crack northern aggrega-
ton.
The Gateways were certainly smiled
upon by Dame Fortune yesterday in
their contest with the Gardena nine.
One to nothing in favor of Gardena in
the ninth inning and two outs, and
then that Gateway bunch had the
audacity to nose out with two runs.
The nerve of some peoples children!
Ed Haight who has been twirling for
| the Edison nine, is the batting sensa-
| tion of the Southern State league, con-
Meeting with nine safe hits out of four
teen trips to the plate.
| When the Edison nine goes to Bak-
! ersfeld to cross bats with the nine of
! that city they will also mix in a
friendly ball-throwing contest for the
sum of ten simoleans. The Los Ange-
les lads have a left fielder, Cornett by
name, who hurls the horsehide a dis
tance of S43 feet and with several
other men of the team who have good
wings the Edisons feel confident of
winning their wager. Don't overlook
any bets, Ward.
Tommy Leahy, the crack backstop
for the Dyas-Cline team is throwing
to second like a major Lacquer, having
allowed but four stolen bases in five
games.
The Teddy Bears, who are playing
as good baseball as any local independ-
ent nine, returned tr1umphantly from
San Fernando and are now looking for
more fields to conquer, Whittier pre-
ferred. Give the boys a game for next
Sunday, someone.
Abe Terrazene, formerly second
haseman for the Glendale nine, wants
to play with some team of the Inter
urban league or with the Bishop nine
Abe is a good infielder and should be
gobbled up by some short-handed nine.
The baseball teams of the Play
ground league are putting up a first
class brand of ball. A good example
of this is the game between the Utah
street seniors and the Violet street
men on the grounds of the latter,
which was annexed by the Utah play
ers in thinning game, score 6-5.
Abe, formerly of the Los Angeles
Brick company's team, and Sandy are
requested to meet Frank Abbot at the
Herald office, wednesday evening, Au-
gust II, at 1880 p. m.
The H. r. Boynton company's base
ball team defeated the Union Hard
ware and Metal company's nine, Sat-
urday afternoon at Thirty-eighth and
Santa Fe avenues, in a fast ten-in-
ming game by the score of lilo. The
battery for the Boyntons was Cowley
and Millery, and for the Unions Weth-
erly and Pratt.
