Manager Joseph e. Glenn of the
Santa Fe baseball team of San Ber-
nardino has arranged a game with the
Riverside Independents for next sun
day. The Riverside club has strong
aggregation, and has taken two games
from the Santa Fe team, but Manager
Glenn claims this was due to the club
being crippled, and he is willing 10
post any amount of money he can win
the Riversiders see fit to post. The
Santa FEES have strengthened very
much in preparation for the Summer
league schedule, which will open In
San Bernardino April H.
A. Tories, as catcher, has shown his
ability for the San Bernardinos, and is
also one of the best batters connected
with the team, and can always be re-
lied on for a hit. Dye, on the mound,
is fast developing into first class pro-
fessional form, as slabster. Stonefelt,
on the real estate sack, is a new man,
signed up from the Santa Fe club of
Winslow Matthews in center garden
is always under the ball and is batting
better than 400.
Coler has been signed by Manager
Glenn for utility man, on the fnheld,
and has shown his ability to play any
position in which he is placed. j. Rich
ardson Is the Santa\Fe's south paw, and
will soon be in form to play with any
team in the California Summer league
ranks Among the other members of
the staff are Boland, who formerly
pitched for the Santa Fes, who will
play in right garden, and also work on
the slab in a "pinch."
Hester, formerly of the Texas State
league, is now considering tne PROPOSE
ton of signing with the Santa FEES,
also for the pitchers box.
Wilson, at first, is covering the initial
sack in big league style during the
sickness of Layer, who in all proba-
bility will not don the uniform for at
least a month.
Eddy is still picking 'em out of left
weeds. Pase, of the old Santa Fe ag-
gregation, still is making good at short
and is getting his two and three bin
giles in every contest.
Baseball in San Bernardino was never
brighter than Ms for the present and
future The board of directors are
fostering the team in homelike spirit,
and the fans are turning out to the
games much more numerous than ever,
The schedule of the Summer league
will furnish the suburban towns higher
class ball than has been seen in all the
winter games, and Glenn states that
with proper support of the fans he will
place another championship team to
the front.
