TEAMMATES BANQUET
DEPARTING PLAYERS
Maiers Base Ball Club to Say Farewell
to Whaling, Pedrotti, Reiger and
Pfirrman Tomorrow Night
at Local Cafe

Manager Frank Benkert of the Mai
ers baseball club in the California
Winter league will! give banquet at
Levy's cafe tomorrow night in honor
of BERTHE Whaling, Elmer Kriger, Joe
Pedrotti and Wooden Shoes" Pfirr-
man, who leave Wednesday to join the
Shreveport team of the Texas league,
All these players are well known in
Los Angeles baseball circles, for
number of years having played with
the various amateur organizations in
the south.
Whaling formerly was connected with
the Portland team of the PACING COAST
league, but on account of ill health
was unable to finish out the season.
Elmer Reiger formerly was connected
with the Salt Lake club, winner of the
Southern state league championship,
and is one of the best mound artists IN
Southern California. Pfrrman for
merly was with the Salt Lakes and
later with the Cananea team of the
Mexican Southern league. Pedrottl
was one of the best center fielders in
the local Sunday ranks, and plays
the outfield positions in big league
style. All these players have the best
wishes of their many amateur 1rlends,
who predict that they will make GOOD
in the Texas league.
The Maiers baseball team, with a
few outside friends, will join in the
merrymaking. which starts at o'clock
tomorrow night. The latest reports
from the Portland team, now in train
ing at San Luis Obispo, are to the ef-
feet that Sam Ferraris and Hugh Gar
rity are making good. THESE boys
formerly were connected with the Mai
erS team.

WHITE SOX WIN
DOUBLE HEADER
BEAT ANGELS AND VERNON BY
TOO cCORES
BOTH GAMES WERE HIGH CLASS
EXHIBITIONS
Each Was Pitchers Battle All the
Way, and Windytown Twirlers
Were Lucky to Get Superior
Support at Bat
nv LAY DAVIDSON

Just because their boss was sitting
in the grandstand and watching their
game. the Yannigans braced up a bit
yesterday and gave the Vernon and
Angel teams an equal dose of WHITE
wash, winning each game by the same
score, / to 0. Fast fielding and classy
twirling furnished the features of the
game.
The morning game was played at
Southside park, the home of the YER
non team, and was called at the end OF
the eighth inning. UP to the seventh
inning neither team had put a run
across the plate, but in that inning the
Sox managed to squeeze in a run ana
the Vernon batteries could do nothing
with the Windytown pitchers in the en-
tire eight innings. White and Lang
were so stingy with their hits that
they would not allow the Southsiders
to land safely more than once in the
eight innings, old Truck Egan being
the only one to connect safely. Har-
kins and Annis pitched ball that would
win an ordinary game, but got abso-
lutely no backing at bat. They allowed
the visitors only five hits, but two OF
these were of the extra base variety.
In the afternoon Miller and Altrock
managed to duplicate the White-Lange
stunt by scoring the same victory tnat
their team got away with the morning.
but the Angels were luckier in connect
ing with the ball than their Vernon
pals. -Four hits were made by the
Angels, while Hosp and Tozer dealt
out an even half dozen for the visiting
bunch. Three of the Los Angeles hits
came in one inning, too, but poor
judgment on bases prevented run
getting over the pan. The Angels
played errorless ball, while the Sox
piled up three misplays. The Sox made
their only run in the first inning and
from that period until the full nine
innings were reeled off it was pitch
ers' battle, and a pretty one all the
way. The fans sat in terrible suspense
all the time while the Angel batters
continued to fall by the wayside be-
fore the great pitching of the major
league pair
Both these games, as was true of
fully half of the entire series between
the Sox and the local teams, were
classy exhibitions, and despite that the
local teams lost their series with the
visitors, the showing made fully justi-
fies the opinion that the Los Angeles
fans will witness the classiest brand of
baseball this season that it ever has
been their good fortune to patronize.
The principal trouble with both local
teams in the games with the SoX has
been the inability of the boys to hit
at the right time, but with more prac-
tice they should get into the game
most satisfactorily When the season
starts.
Following is the official score and
summary of each game:

REVOLVER EXPERTS
MAKE GOOD SCORES
Club Members Greeted with Ideal Day
for Target Practice and Show Ex-
ceIlent Form on Bishop
Street Range

Yesterday was an ideal day for
shooting and some very good scores
were made, both with the revolver and
pistol by members of the Los Angeles
Revolver club on the Bishop street
range.
j. B. Fox and George Mallion, who
have not put in an appearance for
some time were present yesterday.
Fox had been out of the city and was
not able to be present.
Considering the fact that he is out
of practice, he made some very good
scores. Will A. Wright took a new
gun out to the range in the way of a
20 caliber revolver which was made by
a Los Angeles gunsmith. Wright was
we'll pleased with the revolver, as he
bored out an SO, so and 81 score with
it.
A. B. Douglas made a new local
record with the 90 pistol, shooting
fifty-shot score of 46S out of a possible
500. He also was up to his usual form
with the revolver.
This week the Indoor United States
Revolver association championship
matches will take PLACE and several of
the members will participate in the
events.

yIDENCE that the Los Angeles
III Racing association proposes 10
~ wind up the season--and propa-
bly, the sport for all time to come-in
a much of a blaze of glory as money
will enable it is found in the program
of events scheduled for this week.
Since the anti-racing bill passed, ana
because of the extended rainy season,
the usual number of handicap events
was reduced. and in the last fortnight
the platers have been monopolizlng the
limelight almost exclusively. This W.
der of things has been changed Dy tne
decision of the management to ad1
$1,000 at least to the usual weekly purse
distribution, and Secretary smith mas
issued the program book for this week
which contains handicaps galore ana
really presents the best all-week Offer
ing Of the season. In addition to the
San Gabriel stakes for the Juveniles,
which will be run Saturday, the FOL
lowing events of extraordinary attrac-
tiveness are billed: Purse race at
mile worth $500, for Tuesday; st. Pat
rick's day handicap, at mile. worth
$500, for Wednesday; Long Beach hand
leap at six and a half furlongs, worth
$500. for Thursday; Avalon handicap,
at nine furlongs, worth $1,000, for Sat
urday. This is an increase of $1,000
over the ordinary purse offerings, and
racegoers may look forward to full
week of high-class sport. The San
Gabriel stakes is at four and half
furlongs, the greatest distance that the
babes have, been asked to go this
week. 1t carries an added money value
of $500, which, with the nominating
and starting fees, gives the event an
estimated gross value Of S3200
Horses of fair class as selling platers
will have their innings this afternoon
at Santa Anita park. but the card has
it's attractive features despite that
none of the high-class stars win Per
form All the fields seem nicely bal
anced in point of class and ali with
the exception of the first race are
neither too large nor too small. Four
teen horses are named to start in the
first race, at six and Il half furlcngs,
but two or three of these at least will
be scratched. Scratches in the other
six races will be very few.
