Notes of the Game

Little Martlnke Keeps ON making a
reputation. Yesterday afternoon the
Vernon left fielder was the principal
in one Of the prettiest plays of the
year, running far in deep left center
and grabbing in the high fly off
Smiths bat with his gloved left mitt.
A few more of these plays and the
big leaguers will have their eyes on
the fast little ex-busher.

Jimmy Toman has one attribute
which appeals to every man, woman
and child on grandstand and bleachers.
He makes his announcements from
back of the pitchers box, but does it
with such deliberation and careful
enunciation that every word is dis

jargon which is usually heard when
the batteries are announced.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-14

Two home runs practically won for
Vernon in the morning game, and had
it not been for these long hits Hap
probably would have been on the short
end in both contests. Eagan and
Martinke were responsible for the cir
cult in hits, the former scoring hln-
self in the second inning and Martinke
brought in StoVall and Brashear ahead
of him with long, high one in the
third. In the fourth, on a single,
steal and two sacrifices Eagan crossed
the plate for the second time in the
game, and this was all for the Yer
nonites. But 1t was plenty, although
Hap had a scare in the fifth, when the
Angels batted in four runs. In the
ninth when Ross reached first, got TO

Fast Game in Afternoon

Although they had already played
one game, the opposing teams started
off in lively fashion when the play
balP, signal echoed across the field
at Chutes. For two innings, with the
exception of Godwin's hard double In
the first, there was nothing to argue
about. In the third the Angels scored
on two doubles to center in quick sue
cession, Nagle and Daley doing the
heavy work. Two more goose-egg IN
nings passed by, then Vernon scored
their only tally and in the seventh
that lucky seventh-the Angels brought
over the winning scores.
Walter Nagle officiated for the
Angels and with the exception of the
sixth the Subrbanites failed to ind
him. He walked four men and struck
out four, but was in such good form
and had his puzzlers so well under con-
troll that Hap's men were literally be-
wildered A sprinkling of hits off Coy
gave Dillon the advantage in the
twirling department. Several bits of
fielding of exceptional worth gave the
fans an opportunity to liven up, and
q half-dozen close slides to the plate
and to first afforded an opening for
the discussions which make baseball
popular.
The only run of the Vernonites was
earned by Coy, the pitcher. Had it
not been for his sensational center

fence, Hap would have been given a
nice coat of whitewash. Coy slammed
the ball hard, and as it neared the
fence over it went, but unfortunately
there was no one on bases. Had the
bases been fun when Coy came to bat
Hap's tardy vengeance might have
been sweeter, but 1t was one of the
fortunes of the game that the diamond
was empty.
In the seventh, on Motifs tumble of
Delmas' hit, Coy's fielder's choice and
error in allowing Dillon to reach first
and Delmas to get to second on wild
throw to the middle bag, Orendorff's s
sacrifice and Nagle's bunt along first,
Delnas scored. Daley, next up, sacri-
feed prettily along first and Dillon
crossed the plate for the run that won
the game. The tabulated score:
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-14

Coy's bouncing homer over the left
center fence was the fifth of its kind
in the last four days. Not clean fly
homer has been hit in the last series,
but the terrific force behind the bat
has caused the balls to bounce over
the barrier.

Government Clerks Vote
Against Movement
LARGE MAJORITY PREFERS
Present 9 to $3.50 Arrangement--De Desire
to Sleep Rather Than Recreation.
Hour in Bed Worth Two OF
Three on BAN Field

Washington, May 26.--The daylight
hours movement has failed miserably il
Washington. The government clerk.
have decided that they prefer the pres.
emit . to 4:30 arrangements, and have
voted down the proposed reform BY two
to one. The cabinet officers in whose
departments the clerks were allowed "a
pass Judgment on the daylight working
scheme, profess to be greatly surprised
at the result. They are also highly
amused at the chief reason given for
rejecting the proposal, It was simply
that the clerks preferred sleep TO re.
creation. They decided that tho hour
IN bed in the morning was worth two
or three on the ball field or golf course
in the afternoon.
OF course, the scheme to start work
at eight and quit al $3.50 during the
summer months had some supporters.
They were almost exclusively men whose
service for the government has not yet
killed their ambition and interest in
life. They were willing to rise at seven
instead Of eight, In order to have a
chance for athletic sports or other
amusement in the afternoon But the
great majority voted for the regulation
hours. They want no break in their
accustomed hours Of sleep. The women,
it is stated, turned down the proposed
reform almost aolidly.
There was another reason which in
fluenced the clerks. IL was dread sus-
PIGEONS that Congress might perpetuate
The early working part Of the scheme.
Suppose the lawmakers, they argued,
should conclude that the government
clerks might get to work At eight
o'clock the year round and work until
4:s0. This awful possibility induced
many clerks to vote against the day
light hours movement, and it has been
killed, 90 far as the government service
is concerned.
