SUMMARY
ANOTHER LOCAL BOY
PROMOTED TO MINORS
Sam Lafferty Of st. vincent's College
Baseball Team Is Signed by
Cairo In the "kitty"
League

Sam Lafferty, who has been con.
nected with st. Vincent's college team.
said yesterday afternoon that he had
secured a position as pitcher for the
Cairo, ILL.,, team and will leave for that
city next week.
Lafferty got Disguised with waiting
for the Los Angeles branch of the A.
A. u. to reinstate him and upon re-
ceiving an offer from the manager of
the league team in that city, through
The Herald, he accepted. Lafferty
surely will make good In his new
berth, as he is one of the best semi
professional pitchers in the south.
Lafferty was suspended for taking
part in Sunday miscellaneous games a
few weeks ago, while twirling for the
Polytechnic high school team. He won
the pennant for that school in the sea-
son of 1907. He Is fast baserunner
and a heavy batter. While attending
ST. Vincent's college he was not per-
United to participate in regularly
scheduled games with out-of-town
high schools or colleges, and as the
Cairo team Is not under the jurisdic-
ton of the A. A. u, he Is a free lance
and can pitch every day in the week
against teams not connected with the
A, A. u. The friends of Lafferty wish
him good luck and hope to hear Of him
in big league company in the course of
A. few more years.

A tricky, uneven light played hob
with the scores at all ranges, the more
experienced shots of the Rife and Re-
volver club and the Southern Califor-
MIA team solving the mystery pretty
well, but the three green men of the
Rifle and Revolver club team failed to
find out just what a change from
bright to dark target would do to their
shots. A puffy wind prevailed down
the Scheutzen park valley all day,
metamorphosing "fours" into "threes"
and sliding many shot from the bull
out into the white desert surrounding
it. The Rifle and Revolver club team
members state that they can win If
they shoot again. Another match is

ETAWAY fortnight at Santa Anita
VT park begins this afternoon, and
~ Secretary smith very considerably
has decided to give those owners who
have not won their share of purses a
chance to do so. With no stake event
to feature the remaining days of the
meeting, frequent overnight handicaps
of $500 values and upward viii furnish
engagements for the better class of
horses, while the other events will be
so conditioned that all classes of horses
will have a chance to pay their freight
to some other track. Instead of put
ting on one extra value event for next
Saturday, Smith has arranged for two.
These are the Cesarian handicap for
3-year-olds and upward at nine fur
longs and the Junior handicap at four
and a half furlongs for the baby
racers. Both will have a $500 purse
value. The card for today consists of
six selling races and one purse affair,
the latter being the feature. 1t will
be at one mile and has only five
starters. The card is not of the usual
washday variety. as several old favor
ties of fair and better class are entered
in the various events, and the regu-
lars will find no cause for complaint
regarding the class of sport that will
result A fast track seems assured and
good time should be made.
Horsemen intending to ship to La
tonia for the spring meeting should
not overlook the announcement that
stake entries will close April 20. Santa
Anita horsemen desiring to make entry
should consult Gene Elrod at the track
for any information and such blanks as
they may desire.
Announcement is made by Manager
McCarey that he has matched George
Memsic and Frank Picato for return
battle at ten rounds at his fight house
April 81. Their former scrap ended so
unsatisfactory that the return match
was not difficult of arrangement. Ow-
ing to the showing of Pieato, the match
will be well received by the fans.
Hen Berry is doing the proper thing
in making the first move against
rowdyism in baseball. Hen has fined
Pop Wheeler for even trying to get
even with Olson, the spiking specialist,
although Wheeler failed in his retalia-
tory stunt McCredie has permitted
Olson to keep UP his daily spiking bust
ness without a murmur and is criticised
therefor. If he would inform Olson
that this kind of business must be cut
out the shortstop would cease trying
to cripple players on rival teams. If
he keeps 1t up the fans will witness
something that will resemble free
for-all knock down and drag out affair
on the diamond one of these days.
Some player will forget himself and
retaliate. For the best interests of the
sport, Cal Ewing and his associates
should act promptly and effectively and
in no uncertain manner.
Baseball cranks will have their first
opportunity tomorrow of seeing the
Vernon team in action. Hap Hogans
aggregation returns home today for a
series of seven games with the Angels,
opening at Vernon in the afternoon.
The team hardly has got down to Its
real playing strength yet and has not
developed it's team work to the pest
possible degree. but the boys are play

Jockey Schilling will be back on duty
at Santa Anita park this afternoon,
much to the delight of all racegQers.
Bob Thomas will be a bit tickled HIM
self, as he has lost several races re-
Gently that he would have won had
Schilling been able to ride for him. 1t
is hoped generally that he and Powers
have acquired a valuable lesson regaru-
ing rough riding and that each viii be
fully restored and permitted to accept
outside mounts--in other words, to ride
for the public that wants a ride for its
money.
With such cracks as Schilling.
Powers, Howard, Archibald, Preston,
Musgrave, Butwell, Kennedy and Nc
Gee riding regularly, racegoers will IND
it difficult to complain of poor rides
when they lose. The class of the Santa
Anita riding colony has been greatly
increased in the last week and ranks
almost up to its best standard once
more.
Frank Regain says he has about de-
eided to ship Smirker to some sausage
factory He bet on this monumental
hound Saturday and lost, of course,
while he did not have dime on Dona-
tus or Rialto. Frank has had more
than his share of hard luck this season.
and it is about time the lane was
turning.
1t is said officially that the $500 fine
levied upon Jockey Treubel earlier III
the season for rough riding has been
paid and cannot be returned because 1t
has been turned into the Pacific Jockey
club treasury. That $500 would come in
Mfr n, fadilU inst while this
crack rider is lying on his back in the
hospital, with the almost certain pros
pect that he never will be able to ride
again.
Bull Perrine, one of the most capable
and fair umpires that ever worked
in the Coast league, will leave for the
east about Wednesday night to report
for duty as umpire in the American
league. Jack Sheridan will arrive
Wednesday morning and they will go
east together. Perrine opens the sea-
son at ST. Louis and will find the Mount
city fans a fair bunch. That he VIII
make good in the big brush goes with
out saying, and his many friends on the
coast have no fears at all in this re-
gard.
Manager W. w. Finn of the Utah
Jockey club is expected to return TO
Los Angeles in day or Two, Wnen ol-
fetal announcement will be made re-
garding the identity of the presiding
Judge who will serve at the spring
meeting at Salt Lake City. Joe Burke,
who has been appointed, may not be
able to accept owing to a long illness
from which he is not yet recovered,
but another judge equally as prominent
and popular with horsemen Will be
selected in the event Burke cannot &C
cept.
The final racing season in Texas will
begin Saturday at San Antonio. This
meeting will run twenty or thirty days
and may be extended further. Quite a
number of horsemen who now are rae
ing at Santa Anita will ship to that
city this week.

McCormicks Defeated In First Two
innings and Get Only One Hit
ereafter-Many
Changes Made

The McCormicks defeated the Maiers
at Southside Athletic park yesterday
afternoon in a slow but exciting game
by score of to 8. Frank Smith, who
started to twirl for the Maiers, injured
his thumb and retired in the second
inning. Clarity went on the mound
and pitched a good game in the re-
manning inning. Clarity famed ten
men and allowed only one hit.
McCormicks used three pitchers,
Buckles and G. Kimmerle and all did
well. Manager Frank Benkert has Sc
cured the services of Jimmy Wilson
and Shorty Phister for the Summer
league season, Clarity to pitch for the
Maiers. Wilson will be seen at short
for the Maiers, instead of Gus Mast,
who goes to the Redondo team In the
Southern State league. Pheister will
play center in place of Clarity. Fol-
lowing is the score:

Southside club at Vernon under the d.
rection of Jim Flynn, who is acting as
his manager for the time. Danny went
eleven rounds with his sparring part
ners, doing four rounds with Norman
Stone, two with Jimmy Austin and five
with Flynn. After the workout he
weighed 1881 pounds, which assures
an easy time of making the agreed
weight. Hefron is working at the Maud
Junction pavilion, and boxed only six
rounds, just enough to keep himself
unlimbered and in prime form. Both
boys are in tiptop condition and viii
have no excuses to offer in case of de-
feat beyond that the best man won.
This bout promises to be q hum
mer all the way, and should furnish
the desired excitement for the fans.
The last two or three main events that
McCarey has staged have been classy
attractions and have furnished the
fans with that kind of scrapping that
they desire. The Flynn-Papke and
Wolgast-Picato scraps were all that
the most exacting could require, and
the Heron Webster bout seems as
sured as worthy of ranking with both
the others.
1t will be a case of whirlwind exc
cution from the first tap of the gong,
with Webster fighting to regain what
ever prestige he lost in his two defeats
by Wolgast and Hefron determined to
prove that he is one of the classiest
topnotchers in his division. Hefron Is
not so well known in Los Angeles as
is Webster, who has been trimming
all corners in the past until he hooked
UP with Wolgast. Notwithstanding
this lack of absolutely known form of
Hefron, he is fighter from the ground

The Watts Stars defeated the Cuda-

yesterday afternoon on the Macy and
Mission road diamond. The feature of
the game was the pitching of Kelly,
who famed fifteen of his opponents.
Bilandes home run with three men on
bases, for the winners, was the SEN
sational feature of the game. He sent
fifteen hits, while the Cudahy team
made only four. Dipes sent the ball

| up. clever boxer, a heady battler and
one of the stiffest punchers in the ring
at his weight. The easy manner In
which he has trimmed both opponents
since he came to Los Angeles has made
| him a prime favorite with the fans,
and he will have a host of admirers
and supporters in his fight with the
! local boy.
Heron is businesslike scrapper. He
wastes no time, does not swing and
seldom misses a lead. He is an accu-

Filled with confidence in his ability TO

| that If he stops Webster he will have
all the good scraps thrown at him that
he can handle for some time to come.
Anticipating a short scrap in the
main event, Matchmaker Hancock has
arranged quite an extensive card for
the show, so that the fans will have no
occasion for complaint. Hobo Dough-
erty of Milwaukee and Young Turner
of Los Angeles will furnish the semi
windup card at six rounds, with Kid
Solomon and Kid Bell in another six

scraps are billed as opening teasers,

testifies in no uncertain manner the

endeavor to put a crimp in the ticket
scalping business and advises his pa

| ticket operators, thereby helping him
to protect his patrons from the neces-
sity of paying an exorbitant price for
the tickets.
