PLAY SUNDAY
SUCCESSFUL SEASON WILL BE
CONTINUED
Games Will Be Played at Boyle
Heights, DolgeVlle, Gardena and
Downey--Gossip of Speedy
Organization

The Southern State league teams
will play their fifth game of the sched-
ule July C25. The teams are all very
evenly matched and playing close
games. The Redondo, Gateway,
Downey, Gardena and Edisons are
all tied for first place, while all
the other teams are only one or two
games behind. It will be tough sled
ding for the top notchers in the sun
day schedule, as the Redondo cham
pions try conclusions with the Ed
sons, Wellingtons go after the Gate
ways, Globe Mills at Downey and
Hermosa at Gardena.
The league as a whole is enjoying q
very successful season financially, as
well as in the style of play. The Re-
dondo, Downey, Gateway and Edisons
diamonds are accommodating the lafg-
est crowds on record. The managers
of the different teams have gotten to-
gether a classy bunch of players, who
are out to play the game for all 1t Is
worth. The league has been very for
tunate in having a capable force OF
umpires to work at different games,
and President Reeves of the league
deserves all the praise from his fellow
directors for his good Judgment IN es-
lecting such classy bunch OF indl-
Gator men. Allen, Fernandez, Peltz,
Butler and Langdon are the indicator
men. Allen and Fernandez can be
found most any day out at Chutes
park with a book of the official rules
watching the work of umpires of the
coast rules Both are familiar with
the rules from A to r. and always
give their decisions without any hesl-
tation. Langdon has worked in the
Chicago City league and Is another
one of the bunch who is we'll respect
ed by the players. Butler and Peltz
follow closely in the tracks of Allen,
Fernandez and Langdon.
Has Capable Officials
The league is fortunate in having a
live press agent in Pete Hansen. The
directors of the league would have to
go far to secure another man to fill the
position so capably.
George Reeves is president of the
league. George is young, but what he
lacks in age he more than makes up
In experience. He rules with a firm
hand, which goes a long way for the
good success of the league. He pos"
sibly is the only baseball president
in existence who was ever fined by an
umpire. Umpire Fernandez having
fined President Reeves while the lat
ter was playing shortstop in the Mar
ket National VS.. Gardena game few
Sundays ago.
Johnny Goodwin performs the stunt
of secretary, and although he. has all
the work to do. has filled the position
in a most satisfactory manner.
A good many players of the different
teams no doubt will be found in fast
er company next season. Allen OF
Redondo, the Leehner boys of the same
team, Pendleton and McGough of the
Downey team, Drown of the Market
Nationals, LIeahy Of the Dyas-Clines
Bibo of the Globe Mills, Metts of the
Gateways, Encoe and Nalle of the Edi-
sons, Pima of the Wellingtons, and
Runson of the Hermosa team are ripe
for higher up company.
President Reeves will be the guest of
honor at the Redondo VS.. Edison and
Dyas-Cline VS.. Market National games
at Boyle Heights Athletic park Sun
day, July 25.
The Redondo team rs coming with a
bunch of fans to root their team to
victory, but the Edisons are ready to
give them the game of their lives, and
no doubt the Redondo boys will get a
warm reception.
The Redondo VS.. Edison teams will
line up as follows, game called at 1:45
