Galley and Nest, the Barnacles in the
Los Angeles Athletic club handball
tournament, practically clinched first
honors of the tournament champion
ship yesterday by defeating Cliff Reu-
man and Schepp i'm two games out of
three. Their opponents won the first
game by the score of 21 to II, amid
cheers from the spectators in the gal
elry, but, the champs, not daunted,
came back strong in a whirlwind fin
ish and won the next two games, each
by the score of 81 to Is.
Following is the standing of the
teams: Galley and Nest, the Barnacles,
S75; Reilly and Clark, the Crawfsh'

Dillon says he has drafted Murphy,
an outfielder who played with the Rock
Island Three-Eye league club last sea-
son; Roth, second baseman for the
Jackson, Mich, league club, and Criger,
outfielder for the Flint, Mich, league
club All these players come to Dillon
with excellent records and recommen-
dations and will report at spring train
ing to try for positions on the team.
In addition to this trio, Cap has sew
eral other excellent prospects that he
is investigating.
Curtis Bernard found it impossible
to resist the call of the diamond any
longer, and after reconsidering his in
tention to retire from the game, noti-
fed Dillon and Berry that he is ready
to sign up at once and will play out
tho entire season with the Angels
Heretofore his studies at a local medi-
cal college prevented him from report
ing at opening of the season and forced
him to quit the team about six weeks
before closing day, thus allowing him
only half a season of playing. He Is
one of the best outfielders in the busi-
ness. fleet on the bases and a steady
reliable and heavy sticker, all of which
makes him a most desirable member OF
the team. He will be moved over from
center to right field, in all probability.
Spring Training Plans
1t is rather early to begin talking of
spring training plans, according to CAP
Dillon, but already these plans are we'll
under way. Tip O'Neill, western ad-
vance agent of the White Sox, writes
from San Francisco that he will arrive
next week to arrange the schedule OF
games that the Sox will play with the
Angeles and Vernons. He adds that II
IN he
played in the southland will be played
with the two Coast league teams.
There is a probability that the YER
mons will do some of their early spring
training in Arizona. c. X. Pishon. a
young business man of Phoenix, has
arrived to make terms with Manager
Hogan for several games to be played
at Douglas, Phoenix and other Arizona
cities early I'm the spring. His propo-
sition to the club has impressed Hogan
and the directors, and meeting Will
be held this morning to make decision
in the matter. Should the Nernons go
to Arizona it would not interfere To
any great extent with plans for the real
spring training routine. The Kansas
City American association club will dc
it's spring training at Douglas and q
series of games between that class AA
club and Vernon would be interesting
This is one of the series Pishon is
seeking to arrange.
orendorf May Return
Hen Berry yesterday gave it out that
he has not lost all hope of having
Catcher Orendorf back Of the home
plate next season, Notwithstanding
that he was drafted by the Chicago
Nationals and now belongs to that
club. Although he would not give out
any specific details in support of his
hopes, Berry intimated that Frank
Chance had given a conditional prom

ATHLETIC CLUB BOYS
TO REORGANlZE TEAM
Several Members of 1903 Aggregation
Agree to Play, and Strong Or
ganization Already Is
Assured

When several members of the former
Los Angeles Athletic club baseball
team met at the club yesterday to dis
cuss reorganization it was decided to
brush the dust off the old uniforms
and enter the list for the independent
baseball honors of Southern California.
The Athletic club boys will have
such fast independent clubs as Santa
Monica, Occidentals Teddy Bears,
Santa Paula, Uplands and Directories
to choose from in making up their
schedule. Any of the mentioned
teams, or any other fast amateur base
ball organization that would like a
game, can arrange for a date by ad-
dressing correspondence to The Her
aid
That the Athletic club team is a fast
aggregation is shown by the players
of reputation in the following lineup:
Brooks, catcher; Hobgood, shortstop
and pitcher; Guernsey, shOrtstOp and
pitcher; Galley, first base; Mcknight,
second baseman and pitcher; Heinz
man, third baseman; Howard, left
fielder; Myran, center fielder; Dunni-
gan, right fielder. 1t is expected that
Jay Welton will again accept the man

IAssnclated Pressl


CHICAGO, Dee. 29.-Thomas Chiving-
ton of Louisville was elected president
of the American Baseball association,
over Joseph ID. O'Brien at the annual
meeting today. Chivington won on the
first ballot, to 3.
OBrien, the incumbent, did not
make as good n battle a expected, as
it was thought he was powerful
enough to cause a deadlock on the
first ballot.
The association also decided to play
a 16s-game schedule in 1910, elected w.
r. Armour of Toledo vice president,
and decided to hold the schedule meet
ing in Chicago at the time Of the
American league meeting, about Feb
ruary IS.
A rule was passed providing that all
clubs shall provide dressing rooms at
parks for the players.
President Chivington announced the
league headquarters would be moved
to Chicago on February l.
George Tebeau was reelected chair
man of the board of directors, but
there may be a contest on his right
to serve.
The election Of Chivington was
something of a surprise. The three
northern clubs, Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Milwaukee, stood solidly behind
O'Brien. but that was all the support
he could muster
The continuance of the 16S-game
| schedule met with little opposition.
and the financial success Of the last
| season caused the magnates to adopt
il again. The season will begin on
April 13. and probably end on Sep
tember 26
There was little doing in the trading
line. Roger Bresnahan, manager of
! the st. Louis Nationals, was the only
major Lacquer present. He was trying
to dispose of some Of his surplus
! youngsters.

m HERE is an excellent prospect that
Los Angeles, as one result of the
u passage of the Walker-Otis anti
bookmaking act, will have a season Of
summer racing next year. This is not
a prediction-merely a suspicion. 1t Is
next to a certainty that as long as the
game is profitable at EmeryVille, up to
May 1, that meeting will run, and no
other meeting will be permitted to rival
it or attract horses away from 1t. Tom
Williams took a chance of losing a lot
of money in order to experiment with
oral betting, and is entitled to some of
the emoluments of his courage and in
vestment. However, there are 1000
horses in the west that never go over
the mountains to eastern tracks and
have to earn their feed in the west.
While winter racing was featured at
Emeryville and Los Angeles, the bush"
tracks were permitted to run without
opposition in the spring, summer and
fall months. Now things are quite diff
ferent. Oakland is filling the winter
dates on the coast, and Los Angeles
will get not day until May or June
rolls around.
1t is known that Rose, Schroeder and
Gardner are chafng because they can
not run a meet at Arcadia. Therefore,
i'm the event that oral betting proves in
any wise popular at Oakland they may
want to try it at Santa Anita, and as
there will be an abundance of horses to
run a summer meeting here, such a
thing does not seem to be too wild or
hazardous for reality. 1t would save
horsemen the enormous expense of
shipping to the bushes and back, and a
season of delightful weather, without
the extreme heat and cold of the spring
and fall months in the Utah Montana
Idaho Canada territory, would make
racing conditions ideal. If Butte, with
75, 900 people; ogden, with 35,000 Salt
Lake, with 100000, and Boise, with 25,-
600, can make 1t profitable to horsemen,
to ship a thousand miles and back to
race for $3.50 and 5000 purses, Los An
geles, with nearly 100000 people, should
find no difficulty in supporting a meet
ing.
However, all will depend upon the
double test of the oral betting sys-
tem-popularity and permission of the
courts. If oral betting is regarded by
the California courts as it is defined
by the New York courts it is GER
tainty that racing will be revived at
Santa Anita. 1t may not be revived
before next winter, but with favor
able conditions as those herein enumer-
ated tile prospects for a summer meet
ing of sixty or ninety days is con-
sidered most excellent. Santa Anita
is a fairyland to horsemen, especially

Youngsters drafted by him should

reasons, one Of which Is that the oack-

Anent good natured Kidding" bees
between Berry, Dillon and Hogan re-
garding their prospects for next sea
son, Hogan yesterday admitted that ne
had slightly less than ninety-four
players drafted, in sight or signed up,
and that he expects to turn out
pennant- winning club at Vernon from
this bunch.
Want Toman as Umpire
Berry resents most emphatically the
rundown handed out to Jimmy To-
man in the appointment by Danny
Long of the umpires for next season.
IL Is partly because Long, part owner
and manager of the Seals, has been
given power to appoint umpires ana
other minor officials of the league that
Berry is insisting that Long resign as
league secretary. holding that this un-
usual authority in the hands of club
owner gives him an unfair advantage
over other clubs and makes the duties
of the two positions conflict, morally,
If not in all other ways.
Everybody who saw Toman work
as umpire last season will agree un-
conditionally with Berry that Toman
Is one of the best umpires that ever
worked in the Coast league. He not
only is a highly competent official,
but he Is eminently fair upon all oc-
acin HGnRHial .faVnFH
to any club or player and always ex-
hibiting a calm surface and mind.
even under the most trying condi-
tions. It generally was believed that
such a highly satisfactory umpire, on
trial, could not fail of reappointment.
But he once played for the Angels.
which disqualified him In the eyes of
Long, undoubtedly. as being friend
or acquaintance Of Berry.
Long has appointed Hlldebrand, a
former Seal outfielder and employe OF
Long, to fill the vacancy, and this
constitutes double-action, back
handed wallop at Berry-removing
Toman because he might have been
an acquaintance of Berry and appoint
ing Hildebrand because he was a
friend and former employe Of Long.
Berry is patiently waiting notice or
the meeting at which his controversy
with Long will be settled and he Is
confident that there will be only one
rosult-that Long either will resign
or be removed from office as league
secretary. Beyond all question, and
especially considering the feeling that
exists between Berry and Long, har-
monious relations OF league officials
and the best interests of the league
require that Long get out of the sec
retary's office and relinquish the un-
usual and unfair advantages possessed
by him as a club owner-league secre-
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-30

Times without number have the
northern fight promoters intermeddled
to break up matches made by McCarey
for his club at Maud Junction, and
many times these efforts have been
successful. McCarey has gracefully
submitted to this unsportsmanlike ac-
tion of his rivals and has philosophic-
ally accepted his fate in each instance
with nothing more than a growing dis
trust of his rivals and the integrity of
their business methods. When he went
east to secure the Jeffries-Johnson bat
tie he found his northern rivals scared
to death from fear that McCarey would
outgenerai or outbid them, and they
combined and "politicked" until they
were eased in mind by the award Of the
fight to one or more of the ombination.
But, when he came home and went out
after other matches to take the place
of the Jeffries- johnson affair he found
that rival promoters in the north were
still bucking his efforts. He beat them
TO the Nelson Wolgast battle for the
lightweight championship and clinched
ii before his rivals could wake up.
When the announcement of the match
and the success of McCarey in securing
the fight was made the northern bunch
again got busy on their flair or FOUL
lines of winning out at any cost. Find
ing that the only way in which to
secure the match was to induce Nelson
to repudiate his contract With his
keen business instinct, Nelson listened
to largely increased offers from the
northern promoters who had been
beaten by McCarey in competition for
the fight. BY making an offer of a few
thousand dollars more than McCarey
had offered when he got the scrappers
to agree with him, Hester induced
Nelson to call off his agreement with
McCarey and accept the Hester PROPOSE
tion. Wolgast also has been tempted
with the offer of an increased sum over
that which McCarey had offered him.
Up to this time Wolgast has stead
fastly stood out and refuses to con-
slider the later offer. What he eventu-
ally will do in the premises is merely
conjecture.
McCarey Ready to Fight
The legal merits Of an application
for a writ of injunction to prevent the
fight elsewhere is not a subject for
discussion here, even If the writer
were competent to discuss legal tech
nicaities, but it is not difficult TO i'm
agine just what a fix Hester would
find himself in if the injunction should
be granted a few hours before the hour
set for the fight. That he would lose
quite sum of money is not doubted.
But it is not revenge that McCarey Is
after. 1t is peace, even if he has to
fight TO secure it. All that he and all
southern fans want in this matter is
to be permitted to be peaceful and har-
monious in the conduct of the sport in
this end of the state. At any rate,
McCarey is fully determined to protect
his own interests and guarantee future
contracts between his club and fighters
matched by him. If it is necessary to
go into court to accomplish all this.
