HAS GOOD
BASEBALL MATERIAL
Prep Players Are Founding Into Shape
for Hard Struggle and Varsity
Is Developing
Speed

Baseball material of Pomona college
tercollegiate series of games which
will start shortly. The collegians are
out on the new diamond, while the
props hold down the old field. While
no dates have been set for the props.
they are getting into trim rapidly, and
the expectations are that they will be
playing match games with the various
high schools of Southern California
shortly.
The varsity squad is rounding into
excellent form and is developing fair
speed for the first time out this sea-
son. Enough candidates are out to
insure good quality for all the posi-
tions, although the lightness of the
team may hinder them considerably in
their batting work.
In addition to having good fielders,
Pomona college has the highest three
batters of the season. ~
Pitcher Gally averaged 1868 for last
season and is a good man on the
mound.
batting percentage of 81 for last sea-
son, while Shortstop Mahoney was
near the .2S9 mark. MahoneyNha de-
veloped into his old time speed, and
no doubt will make good in the posi-
tipn he is elected to hold down this
year.
Gally in the box will give the other
pitchers in the collegiate ranks hard
run for pennant honors, as he has a
quick delivery and is good in sending
'em over the pan.
John Craig will be a valuable part
ner to Gally in the pitching depart
ment, and is a good sticker and fast
base runner.
Dutch" Shut is doing we'll behind
the bat and will act as backstop dur
ing the first three games.
Wenland, football player of last year,
has recently showed up to try for the
mask position. The first game of the
season with the Claretnont team will
be with Occidental college in the inter-
collegiate schedule.

Spring Pleasant Sur
prise

Tom Ramsey, the we'll known base
ball and football player of Los An
geles, and Miss Mildred Lake were
married at high noon at the Vernon
Congregational church by Rev. Will
liam Davies, pastor, before a large
gathering of friends from all walks of
life.
Ramsey was one of the best backs
in the miscellaneous ranks and for a
number of months played on the
Crown Hill American football squad OF
last season and was considered to be
one of the best backs in the business.
In the amateur baseball ranks there
could be found no better outfielder IN
Southern California. He was formerly
connected with the Reliance Athletic
club of Oakland before coming to
Southern California. AS a sprinter he
is a fast man, having covered the 100
yard dash in 10 2-5 seconds.
Mrs. Ramsey, the bride, is the daugh-
ter of George Lake of Los Angeles. and
is prominent in society circles, being
connected with several of the Los
Angeles womenis clubs. The bride and
groom will take a short tour through
Southern California before taking up
their residence Inf Los Angeles.
Many congratulations were received
both by mail and telegraph by the
newly married couple, and rice from all
sides were showered at the bride and
groom as they left the church.

Whatever it was in the atmosphere
that made for sluggish playing certain
ly it was shared almost equally by
both teams at Vernon in the morning
Hogan's novices found Patrick Phillips
an easy mark, and although Dillon al
lowed him to remain in the Dox all
the way, it was largely owing to weak
ness in the twirling department that
the Angels lost an opportunity to make
1t two straight.
Caffyn, Hogans newest importation,
was given his first opportunity to ex-
hibit himself, and although he showed
little brilliancy he made no serious
errors, which means that judgment
of him may be safely reserved. Haley
and Brashear shared with Delmas the
batting honorS.
The Angels got their two scores in
the first and sixth innings, and YER
mons came in the first, second and
seventh Four runs came across the
plate in the final period, when the An
gels contrived to mess up the ball SO
badly that they were unable to dis
cover it and settle down until Stovall,
Brashear, Mott and Eagan had tripped
over the slab.
But after all the real sensations
came in the afternoon. The fireworks
had begun before the late corners had
got to their seats, and they kept up
pretty steadily all the afternoon. Da-
ley and Wheeler scored on hot singles
by Wheeler and Jud Smith, and then
Tozer took revenge for the morning
defeat by retiring the Vernonites in
one, two, three order. In the third
Hogan's crew tied the score with Ha-
ley's timely double, scoring Hogan and
Hit.
The Angels forged ahead in the fifth.
and in the eighth cinched their lead
when Tozer with a full, free swing
sent the sphere disappearing over the
center field fence, gaining a home run
and scoring Thompson. Hosp's double
and Smiths single brought Goodwin in
for the last run in the ninth. Roy
Hit installed himself decided favor
lite with his clever fielding of his posi-
ton, making a sensational running
catch and assist in the. sixth. He intro
duced a speciality of his own in the
third when he gained a hit literally
by throwing his bat at the ball. The
weather being perfect, the crowd en-
thusiastic and game full of vim, the
afternoon might really have been
voted a success-except from Hogan's
viewpoint. Following are the tabulated
scores:

EASY PICKING FOR
COVINA BALL TEAM

The Paraffine Paint team was easy
picking for the fast Covina baseball
team yesterday afternoon at Covina,
the country aggregation winning by
score of to 4. The game was devoid
of features, being slow at all stages.
The Los Angeles team had stage
fright at the lightning stops and
throws made by the CovinaR members.
Terry, pitcher for the paint company
nine, was hit at will and Earl Haight
replaced him, doing much better.
Fairly for the winners twirled good
ball for seven innings and Wicker
went on the mound, as Manager Cow
ert saw that he had no possible chance
to win the game as a tryout

SAN PEDRO. April 1.-THE eigh-
teen-mile Marathon, which will be run
by the long-distance sprinters of Will

Sunday afternoon. April Is, promises to
be a more interesting event even than
the first Marathon, which was pulled
off SO successfully here March IA. A
number of the twelve who ran on that
day will be in the coming race. Arno
Shonstein, who won the former race,
has entered again. While the two hours
nineteen and one-half minutes con-
sumed in making the run was consia-
cred very fast time, Shonstein hopes
to lower his record in the next race.
A darke horse In the coming contest
is sailor off the u. S. Monitor Chey-
enne. who has gone into training al
ready. The management have not yet
decided whether he will be allowed to
run, as he is a nonresident, but the
Is that he will be permitted
to test his sea legs in the long run
around the two front city blocks.
1t is hoped that sufficient entries for
the relay race will be made so that this
interesting contest may be put on the
same afternoon. DR.. John M. Keagy Is
an old-time short-distance champion
and is now daily testing his ability be-
hind "a one-horse runabout, which acts
