There will be another Angel face
missing when the Coast league cham
pions line up next spring at Chutes
park for the season chase after another
rag for the many times winners. Hen
Berry yesterday closed a deal whereby
oakes, the crack center fielder. goes to
the Cincinnati National league club. In
stead losing another crack player.
however, Hen has made a deal whereby
Rube Ellis, one Of the most popular
players in the last two pennant chases
VIII be retained by the Angels, and
| Pete Daley, outfielder for the Gin
c1nnau club, will be added to the club
roster.
Clark Griffith, the new manager Of
the cincinnati club, wanted Cakes and
GouIQ not get him by draft or purchase
he kept annoying Hen about a trade
until the genial magnate made him a
propoSltlon and it was accepted in a
hurry. By the terms of the deal Berry
retains Ellis, who was sold to Cincin-
Iatl 1ast summer, and gets Daley as
lagnlap Hen believes he has catered
70 popular opinion among the fans. as
Rube always has been something Of a
| pet around the Chutes diamond and has
won many game with his timely stick
| work. OakeS is a crack plaver. hut
| Hen and the fans hardly could make a.
| cho1ce between the pair, as both are
| classy f1elders and batters and popular
| with the fans because they produce re-
suits. The news was most welcome to
EIIls, who recently was married and
had just settled down in his own little
nome for happy existence in the land
| OF perpetual summer and where he has
| SO many friends he hardly could make
| up his mind to leave the coast, even
Ior promotion and increased salary.
Arranging Sox Series
Tip O'Neil, advance agent for the
! Chcago White SoX, arrived in Los An
geles yesterday morning to arrange the
paying dates for the Sox and the
southern clubs during the spring train
ing trip. He butted into a big bunch
/ of trouble first dash out Of the box.
as Happiness Hogan, manager of the
new southern club and once the star
| receiver for the Angel band, antici-
pated that his late employer, Hen Ber-
ry, would be out bright and early to
hog the Sunday dates. Hap" in
sisted that the new club get an even
break in dates with the Sox and a
truce was declared until today, when
all factions will get together and ar
range schedule that means that no
! other teams will get a look in for
games with the Comiskeyites.
1t was intended to arrange games
with San Diego, San Bernardino and
| several southern colleges, but the de-
mands of the two coast league clubs
indicate that they will divide the en-
tire playing schedule with the Sox,
which means that there will be league
baseball for full month here previous
to the season opening in April The in
tense rivalry that already is springing
up between the two coast league or
ganizations in the south means that
the Sox will get no mercy and must
play their best to win a single game
from either club, as Hogan and Berry
are determined to show their class by
beating each other in the series with
the Sox.
Sox Arrive March
The White Sox special train will
leave Chicago the night Of February
27, going direct to San Francisco over
| the Northwestern and Union Pacific
| railroads. At Frisco the team will be
! split into two divisions and if fair
weather prevails in the north, the regu-
lars, or team No. l, will play there
first, while No. 2 plays here. But, if
rainy weather is encountered in the
north, No l will come to Los Angeles
and No. will be left in the north.
The regulars need the real work and
will return home via New Orleans, and
if fair weather prevails in the north
! they will put in the first fortnight of
playing practice at and near Frisco.
The division that first comes to Los
Angeles will arrive the morning of
March and the playing schedule will
be started March 4 or the following
| day. Last year the regulars came here
and played first, leaving the youngsters
to start off in the north. It is intended
to reverse this order this year, pro-
viding weather conditions are favor
able. Otherwise the southland fans
will be first to see the regular team in
action.
Coast League Magnates Meet
There will be a meeting Friday in
Frisco of the Coast league nagnates
including the representatives of the
new southern club, and at this meeting
a schedule will be framed up for the
1909 playing season. Freddie Maier,
president Harry Lelande, secretary
and Hap Hogan, manager of the
| new club, will attend, as will Hen Ber-
ry of the Angels. The schedule COM
mittee consists Of Berry, Judge McCre-
die and Ed Wolters of Oakland, and
they are expected to furnish a sched-
| ule at the meeting. The two new clubs,
| Sacramento and the second Los Ange-
! les club, may get representation on
! this committee, but it hardly is possi-
bic, although they will be literally dealt
with in the matter of dates At this
meeting the new southern club will be
voted its franchise, and Maier will be
! elected one of the Coast league di-
! rectors.
There will be a meeting today of the
stockholders of the new club and To-
cation will be decided upon. Practical
! ly all the magnates are in favor Of
| Vernon as a location, although strong
| inducements have been offered by Ven
ice. The arguments in favor of Yer
non, as against Venice probably will
influence the selection of Jack Doyle's
town as the location of the new club.
It will be strictly matter of real busi-
ress, however. The fact that Vernon
is within the scent limit and would
attract as good patronage from Los
Angeles as the Angels get is a big
| handicap for Venice or other cities to
overcome, and at the same time is a
most influential argument in favor of
| Vernon.
