the lOO-ydrd dash, and he is said to be q
tast- man on his feet. Sims, another

NEWS AND NOTES OF THE DIAMOND

WHE Pasadena and the Maiers clubs
of the California Winter league
will play a double header at the
South Side Athletic park diamond this
afternoon. The first game will start
promptly at 1870 o'clock and the Sec
ond at 3:15 o'clock. Both games are
expected to. be hotly contested, for If
the Maiers win it will place them in
third position in the league percentage.
Sam Ferraris will pitch against Toby
in the first game, while Parker Will
work against Rugar in the second
game. Wachob and Hoffman will op-
pose each other in picking them off
the bat George Ely, the One-armed
wonder will, as usual, be seen at Sec
ond base for the brewery club. Lane
and Hoag are scheduled to do the UNI
piring.
"Bulger" Walsh, the crack second
baSeman of the Pasadena baseball
team, is in great demand, having re-
ceived fine offers from several teams
in the east who would like to have the
local crack on their teams this season.
Last year Walsh started the season
with the Colorado Springs team of the
Colorado State league, where his play
ing was of the sensational order, and
he was sold to the Des Moines team
of the Western league. He was the
leading second sacker in the league
and stood up well to the top in the
batting averages. This year "Bulger'
is wanted by the San Antonio team Of
the Texas league. the Sacramento
Coast league team, the Wichita and
Des Moines teams of the Western
league and the Waterloo team Of the
Western association. Walsh, however,
would like to stay on the coast and
play with one of the Coast league
teams.
During the two years that "Bulger'
has been a member of the Pasadena
Winter league team he has led the
second basemen in batting and fielding,
and has done more than any one man
toward keeping Pasadena up close to
the top in the percentage column.
During the past week / have been
sent several notes from various play
ers and fans from all parts of Southern
California asking for information re-
garding the batting averages of several
big leaguers now wintering in South
ern California. The first Of few of
them came from Oceanside, signed by
George Harrison, which asks for in

JOKE ON PoPE-HARTFoRD

Considerable amusement was caused
by an advertisement of the Pope-Hart-
ford company that appeared in the
New York Athletic Club Journal, copies
of which were distributed at the Pal

Around the picture of a police patrol"
there appeared the following reading
matter: "Seven passenger car, price
$4,000. Not a five passenger car with
extra seats. A car for seven passen-
gers. Tour all day, and every day, in
comfort and with speed. making all
stops on schedule time" 1t was cf
course intended that the picture of a
touring car should have been used in
connection with this advertisement, but

which possibly even he could not ex-
plain, ran in the picture of the police

sion was success is not known as yet.
Fred Brown was among those ap-
preached by the new Stockton man
ager and he was offered a plum which
has caused him to think twice before
refusing. AS a matter of fact, Brown
has not decided what to do as yet, ana
is holding off an answer to the Shay
proposition. Should he fnally consent
to play with Stockton it will be blow
at the Senator management, for they
nave banked on him as a member Of
the proposed staff of twirlers to be
carried.
Another Sacramento Senator whora
Shay tried to grab, but failed, was Fred
Raymer, the speedy second baseman,
well known in Los Angeles. Shay called
at Raymer's house to talk business, but
Fred had answered to the call of the
wild and was out worrying the buckles
on the marshes with a pump gun.
Had Raymer been home the mission
of Sir Daniel would have been in vain,
as Raymer has signed to play with the
Senators next year.
But that wasn't all. Daniel would not
stop at a few players. He wanted a half
dozen or so, and so talked business
with Jack Fitzgerald. who is slated to
go to the st. Louis Browns this sea-
son.
1t is said that Fitzgerald would pre-
fer playing on the coast if proper in
ducements were offered, and his friends
say they will not be surprised to hear
that he has taken up Shay's offer.

ton on one of the clubs, either in
league or miscellaneous ranks. Price

campaign?
While L was, of course, gratified to
have the governor of the state and the
mayor of Newport at my meetings,
what pleased ME more than anything
else was the substantial aid 1 received
from many people / did not know at ALL
and who paid dollar each, besides
carriage fare to Marble house. These
l supposed are to be classed as "the
common" people. At least they are so
called by some members of society who

taken. wish there were more of them
The proceeds of the two meetings, WILL
of course, be devoted to the good cause
and more meetings to be held will help
swell the fund.-"
