SHAY SIGNS. TO PLAY
WITH KANSAS CITY
Stockton Player Agrees to Go East as
Manager, and viii Play Second
and Shortstop In His
New Berth

STOCKTON, Cal, July 19.-Dan
Shay. who has been the manager of
the Stockton club for the first half Of
the season, playing second and short,
has signed with Tibeau to manage
the Kansas City club, playing short
and second.
Shay stated today that he did not
care to name the pay he will receive,
but it is more than ne could make here.
However, he said that he left with the
full consent of the directors of the
Stockton club, who said they would
not stand in his way.
"You have a winning team here"
said Shay, land they will capture the
pennant without me. The directors
feel the same way about it, and my
going will cut down expenses some
what besides"
Shay will leave the last of the week

ing to the statements of those high in
coast councils. Should the Sacramento
Coast league team allow the outlaws
bearing that name to play on the same
grounds the days in which the coasters
are travelling, this would constitute,
under the organized rules, the Gra-
hams band as outlaws. There Is only
one available diamond at Sacramento
which is situated in the outskirts of
town, in what is known as Oak park.
In this the outlaws may not play. So
the conclusion is obvious that when
they reach Sacramento they must
either disband or postpone their sched-
ule.
Danny Shay's wise out-from- under
movement, which is published else
where in these columns, merely marks
the beginning of the end. Every di-
rector of the Coast league will cast his
vote against permitting the state
leaguers to enter the fold. There is
only one thing left, and that is the
disbanding of the outlaws. Last year
Berry negotiated with the outlaws
looking toward their entrance into the
organized ranks as a class B organiza-
ton. They were defiant and unafraid,
and now the fowls have come home to
roost. Cy Moreing, despite all the
statements to the contrary made a
humble plea to the Coast directors for
entrance into the league, but the Oak
land outlaws received a turn down, and
this is the policy that will be pursued.
The outlaws are broke, their men are
ready to quit and some have already
done so. Their schedule has been
changed from an all-the-week affair
to a three -times-a-Week games list.
The Coast league is playing out the
most prosperous season in its history.
The fans are backing 1t to a man, and
the outlaws have lost all support. The
baseball public can draw its own con-
clusions. Umpire-baiting, roWdyism
and umpire re-assaulting cannot be
palmed off on the public as good base
ball. The outlaws are doomed.

Derkum, in his endeaVor to lower this
record, is riding a three and a half
horsepower stock Indian machine.
Derkum Is Confident
The followers of Derkum are betting
strongly that he will accomplish his
object and reduce in a large measure
the record established by Schaefer,
Derkum stated last night just before
he retired for sleep previous to his
attempt, that unless he met with an
unexpected accident he would be back
at the club house in Los Angeles this
afternoon about o'clock.
Charles Fuller Gates, official of the

plishing his feat big reception is
planned on the return of the Dare

Charlie Graham's snappy playing
Senators will lead off with the Hogan
ties as the local attraction of the coast
leaguers this afternoon on the field out
at Vernon. This will be near the close
of the at home period of the Suburban
ites who will meet Los Angeles in the
final series of their eight weeks at
home play next week, and then will
depart for the north. The Sacramento
bunch comes south determined to get
back into third place, and from this
vantage point make q sprint into COM
petition for the pennant in the final
weeks. Happy Hogan is equally deter
mined to get out of the last place, for
the cellar position looks bad to the
Irishman. The series with San Fran
cisco proved disastrous, but Hogan
hopes by readjusting his team to take
the series away from the northern
men.
Los Angeles will open this afternoon
at Portland, where they promise to give
the Beavers fans exhibitions of the
best ball the men of the extreme north
have seen in many week. Dillon sends
word south that the losing streak with
the Oaklanders was merely a tempo
rary reversal of form, and that the
Berryltes will be on the job from this
time forth. The local fans are anxiously
awaiting the word of the showing made
by the champions against Mercedes
team, for a setback at this late date
would prove serious. The team is IN
good condition, and nothing less than
decisive victory in the series will
satisfy their owner.
At San Francisco the Seals seem to
have fallen in a soft spot for the Oaks
do not class with the league leaders.
However, they have consistently found
the Seals easy to beat, and may repeat
this reversal business this week. All
aboard for Vernon this afternoon!

President Frank Hermann of the
State league, a discredited official, has
sought to instill into the fans of the
state through various signed state
ments. the erroneous idea that the out
laws are still able to navigate unaided,
and will flourish through next season,
thereby competing with the coasters.
This is rank nonsense, and is so ut
terly ridiculous on the face Of it that
no sensible fan has given the matter
more than casual attention. The pres
ent condition of the bankrupt outlaws
speaks loudly. 1t is freely prophesied
that next year there will be no such
organization.
Best Ball Only
Under the caption of the BEST
Brand of Ball Only" Hermann issued
statement published in this city yes
terday which assumes the proportions
of a pipe dream. It is so entirely at
variance with the present muddle in
outlaw ranks as to be a foolish attempt
at pumping out sinking ship. Fol
lowing is the screed, which can be
taken for what it is worth:
The object of the State league is
to give the fans on this coast the
best brand of baseball obtainable.
and while none OF the owners eX-
pect to get rich in the accomplish
ment Of this purpose, at the same
time there is every reason to be-
lieve that independent ball can be
made to pay. 1t certainly was
paying proposition when Jim Nor
ley and Henry Harris were at the
head Of the old Independent league
and the fans saw classier and
faster ball. As the fans know,
many stars were imported from the
east and the people who then sup
ported the national game in this
ctafn were treated to 1ig1-ClaSg
bail.
The reason FOR the popularity Of
outlaw ball is that instead Of SELL
ing the stars every year and having
the promising youngsters drafted
by the major leagues, the managers
of the Independent clubs are In
position to go out and engage any
ball players they take a fancy to.
With clubs located In San Francisco
and Los Angeles, the State league
will be I'm a better position to go
ahead on these lines. Even today
with four club circuit there are
more stars In the fifty players on
the payrolls of the different clubs
than there are in any eight or six
club minor league In the country.
Instead of seeing the downfall of
the State league this fall as pre-
dicted by Ed Walters. Cal Ewing
and the balance of the Pacific Coast
leaguers, I am quite sure that the
baseball lovers will find that the
season will end, showing the league
to be stronger and better fitted to
continue the fight for Independent
baseball than It has ever been
before.

Former Amateurs Ambitious

Sam Coulter, Edward Barry and
Young Beauchamp, the three former
amateur boxers who yesterday decided
to turn professionals, are being con-
sidered for placement on one of these
two cards. 1t is probable that Coulter

good trial horse, in order to test his
ability, and Beauchamp will be given
another opponent on the same night.
In this way these two rivals will be
shown together, and a line on their
ability can be secured. Jimmy Austin

Kid Cleveland for a ten-round bout on
one Of the evenings. Both are fighters,
game and clever and as Cleveland is
willing to make 107 pounds for the
