SANTA CLARA NINE
RESUMES PRACTICE
Tom Kelly Is Putting the Mem-
bers of the Team Through
Course i'm Batting

SANTA CLARA, Dec. 1S.-'Father"
Tom Kelly, coach of the Santa Clara
college baseball nine, Is using the rev
remaining days before the Christmas
vacation in putting the boys through
few stunts connected with the hit
ting end of the game
The start which was made by Kelly
in baseball operations here about two
weeks ago has shown itself to be for
the good. as it has brought all the en-
thusiasts of the great American game
TO their feet. and has aroused an inter-
est in that branch of sport hardly ever
equaIed here.
Father" Tom has had his baseball
eye upon all the candidates for var
sity honors. and practically knows by
this time what all the newcomers can
do.
The construction of new bleachers
and the fixing up of the diamond has
added fresh interest to the game, and
q large gathering of students witnesses
the practice every afternoon.
Agnew is living up TO his record as
a good pitcher, and no doubt will Sc
cure place on the varsity. Thornton
and Alngart have developed consider
ably, and bid fair to surprise the Santa
Clarans in their line as twirlers.
Hartmann's wildness last season does
not seem to be with him so much now,
and If he can control this fault the
boy will prove one of the mainstays
of Kelys team
This afternoon the Santa Clara ball
tossers will have the first game of the
year with the San Jose team, and Kelly
is thinking of putting Agnew in the
box.
About January the 1910 season will
begin in earnest. and from that time
forward baseball will reign supreme
at Santa Clara.
During January Sunday games will
be sought with the San Jose league
team, and weekday games with other
teams in the vicinity. Baseball Man
ager McHenry's schedule with the uni
versities and colleges win start about
February 4.
The San Francisco call., 1909-12-19

The United Caledonian question is
again agitating the minds of those who
have the good of the soccer game at
heart and unless either the league or
association takes immediate action in
the matter the public may show it's
the games The Caledonians do not
class with the other teams in the
league and it is no pleasure to watch
their futile efforts to play association
football The Vampires defeated this
team last Sunday by a score of 10 to 0
and the Barbarians the previous Sun
day won from the Scots by a score of
Q to 0. The Caledonians have lost
every game they have played by big
scores and. being unable to offer Sc
rious opposition to the other teams, the
games in which they take part are bur-
lesques on soccer.
The league has two alternatives. Tire
Caledonians can be dropped from the
organization or the league can find
some means Of strengthening the
team. The latter course would be the
most acceptable and it is to be hoped
that the powers that be will devise
some means of making a real football
team out of the United CaIedonians.
The members of the team deserve some
credit for staying with the club in
spite of constant defeats, but then this
does not do the public any good. What
the fans want is good football between
evenly matched teams. and when they
pay their money at the gate they nat
uraily expect to get value for it.
Los Angeles is the latest burg to ac-
quire the soccer craze and the lads
from the southland bid fair to give the
local players a stiff argument next time
they meet. The Rangers. yictorias
and Thistles are already in the field
and teams have been organized at Riv-
erside, Pasadena and other adjoining
towns.
At meeting held last Thursday a
league was organized embracing the
three Los Angeles teams and applica-
tions for membership are expected from
several outside clubs. Fiesta park, an
ideal football inclosure, situated close
to the business center, has been secured
and the majority of the games will be
played there. Last Sunday the newly
organized victorias gave the veteran
Thistles a stiff rub, losing by the odd
goal. j. Sheldon, formerly a member
of the local Pickwick team, is the lead
ing spirit in Los Angeles soccer circles
and it is mainly due to his efforts that
the game has prospered in the south.
Todays program should provide some
interesting sport, the Albion Rovers
appearing to be the only team with a
cinch on the points. The Vampires and
Burns should put up good game at
the Fruitvale grounds, and there is lit
tie to choose between the Barbarians
and Independents. The San Franciscos,
after their good display last week, will
give the Thistles merry time. al
though the Scotchmen should pull out
ahead
