He accepted twenty-one chances without
an error. The last game of the winter
league for the Santa Ana team will be
played with the Salt Lake club January

Manager CroIic also says (and he writes
on both sides of the paper) he has several
changes in his lineup.
Santa Ana has won it's last three games,
defeating Pasadena Z to ], Salt Lake to

must be given to Altizer, for he was the

game was very fast and at on time were
the Cadets in any danger. The Fendalls
had possession of the ball most of the
time and when the Y. NJ. c. A. five did
manage to get it their passes were inter,

a great defensive game. The Fendalls

Critics the country over have been
claiming that Lajoie is great ball
player. but poor manager. Yes, Larry
is rather bad. So bad that he made a
pennant contender out of team which
had no man hitting for 800. Look some
where else for this inability of the Maps
not to cop off bunting.
Manager Orth of the LynchburE, Va,
team has signed an infieider named Ber-
nard, who is a resident of Maine. and he
will be given a trial at second base. Ber-
nard is highly recommended by Coombs,
the Athletic pitcher, who thinks he will be
a success.
There are few cases on record where
base ball players that have threatened to
quit have left the diamond until they
have been forced to do SO through old age.
Most players are in the game because
they like it, and they don't desert the ball
field until they have become passe. AS
