WALTER FOLSOM HAS GOOD
LEAD IN DORY CONTESTS
Four More Races Will Decide-Second
Place Is Still Much
in Doubt

With four more races the dory re-
gattas of the South Coast Yacht club
will be completed and the winner Of the
series known. Walter Folsom with his
Little Mischief II now has such a lead
that it will be difficult for the others
to overtalIe him if he continues to make
a fair showing.
The second place is still much in
doubt but the Merrily advanced her
score materially last Sunday by taking
first place in both races. Even Walter
Folsom had to be contented with Sec
ond and third. La Concha and the Red
Fox viii be close contestants for sec
ond honors with the Merrily. Bob Full
ton, sailing La Concha, won a second
and a third place, keeping up the av-
erage he has consistently held from the
first The Kitty, Blue Fin and Doris
are running behind, the last named
being practically out of the contest.
The percentages of the four leaders are
as follows: Little Mischief II, 70 per
cent; Merrily, 81 per cent; La Concha,
81 per cent, and Red Fox 81 per cent.

BASEBALL MAGNATES
TO MEET IN CHICAGO
AMERICAN AND NATIONAL
LEAGUES TO. CONFER
Members Of Parent Commission Will
Not Participate in Decisions, but
Their Opinions Will Be
Potential

CHICAGO. Feb. 15.-Baseball mag
mates, representing major and minor
leagues from all part of the United
States, invaded Chicago today to at
tend the meeting of the American and
National leagues, to be held tomorrow
In all probability the sessions will ex-
tend into Thursday.
The disagreements between President
Pulliam of the National league and
President Murphy of the Chicago club
will be discussed and while it is not
probable the members of the national
commission will enter into the con-
troversy to the extent of passing judg-
ment it is practically certain the Opin-
ions voiced by the magnates will indi-
cate the feelings of the men who guide
the destinies of the national game.
The opening session will be held to-
morrow afternoon, when the adoption
of schedules will be the most important
business under consideration.
The committee appointed last fall t.
investigate the reported attempt tC

the Chicago and New York Nationals
will report early in the session.
President John T. Brush of the New
York team is the chairman of the com

morrow
Los Angeles herald., 1909-02-16

this is an easy one. Here is what the
once boy sent me last night from a
building down on Wall street: A
question that has kept the fans busy
oil this week is this: How many hits
can a ball club make in an inning
without scoring? 1t has been settled
that two three-baggers and four sin
giles can be made, still no runs scored.
This is made possible by the first pair
OF batters trying to stretch triplets
into homers, SO that there has already
been two hits, both triples, and no
runs. The next three batters single,
filling the bases. That makes five hits.
two of which are triples, the bases
hlled and no runs across the plate.
How is the next hit made? The rules
state that a runner is out if hit by a
batted ball, while the batter is cred
tied with hit. That makes six hits,
two of them triples, and no runs
scored.
Listen to this: In addition to six
hits being made, two of them triples,
there can be double and three sin
giles, besides two stolen bases, all made
III an inning, still no runs scored
This Is how it. is accomplished: First
two men triple, but are out trying to
! stretch the hits into home runs. The
next man doubles. The fourth batter
hits an infield single, but the man on
second was held at second. A double
steal was pulled off successfully. The
fifth man beat out a bunt to third
filling the bases. The sixth and last
man then hits the ball, which hits the
base runner. Thus we have six hits
two triples, a double, three singles
and two stolen asses, still no runs.

BESIEGE PLAYGROUND
DIRECTOR FOR PLANS
SUPERINTENDENT RAITT is
IMPORTUNED
Los Angeles Methods Are Desired for
ChiIdren's Recreation Centers
in Many Cities of the
United States

Besides the work Of experimenting
the local public Fairgrounds, which is
sufficiently arduous, Superintendent G..
B. Raitt is being besieged by cities all
over the west for assistance in es-
tablishing Fairgrounds, modelled on the
plans of those Of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Raitt February % will go to San
Diego to lecture on playground work
before an audience of citizens who de-
sire to establish Fairgrounds in that
city along the lines of the successful
Fairgrounds of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Raitt is giving much attention to
helping the people of Pasadena in the
establishment of an ideal playground
modelled on ground No. 1 in Los An
geles. This playground will occupy an
entire city block and will be the finest
in this section of the country
Citizens of Oakland recently wrote
to Mr.. Raitt asking him to come to
that city and pass two months helping
them in the construction of five play
grounds which they are planning to
establish along the lines of the local
grounds. Just as if I had nothing
to do here" said Mr. Raitt, looking at
the letter from Oakland. 81 may pos
sibly be able to give them one week. %
Santa Barbara is also establishing
Fairgrounds for the children of that
city and many other cities are prepar-
ing to copy after the institutions which
in Los Angeles have proved such a
benefaction to the public
During the first few years when the
Los Angeles Fairgrounds were being
formed Mr.. Raitt Travelled from CITY
to city studying similar institutions
in the leading eastern centers. The
local Fairgrounds represent a CRYSTAL
lization of the better features Of other
Fairgrounds throughout the United
States. Today Mr.. Raitt is obliged to
travel in order to give out ideas of
the work actually accomplished here
in Los Angeles.

PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR WATER POLO
LEAGUE FOR AQUATIC GAME
TO BE REALIZED
L. A. A. CLUB TEAM WILL GO TO
BIMINI FOR PRACTICE
Local Players Anxious to Have Com.
pettiVe Aggregation Sent to
Seattle to Contest in Ma
tionaI Events

Prospects begin to look bright for a
water polo league for this part of
Southern California The first efforts
to organize teams this season met with
indifference and almost failure. But
persistent effort has had it's effect and
now few teams are rounding into
shape and soon will begin practice
games as preliminaries to match con-
tests.
Tonight the members of the Los An
geles Athletic club team will 20 to
Blmln1 baths for practice work. The
Blmn1 team will also be there for
practice. During the latter part Of the
week practice game will be held be-
tween these two teams. It is planned.
to mold these practice games twice each
week until the teams are strong enough
to meet outside teams.
News was received from Redondo
last night to the effect that a good
water polo team is in the process of
organization and would be ready for
match games in a few weeks.
The men who will go out to Bimini
from the Los Angeles Athletic club
tonight are: Les Henry, Jack and Ben
Warrington, Gordo Whelan, Capt
Jorgstroff, Clark Jorgstroff, Louis Alu-
| sett, Charles Bassett and Frank HoI-
| borrow.
| Local players are anxious to send a
| strong water polo team to Seattle in
August to represent Southern CaIifor-
MIA 'in the national championship con-
tests. There is splendid material in
this section and a good team can be
| selected from the various water poIo
! centers. Such a team would stand a
good chance to win from other coast
teams, but hardly would be strong
| enough to defeat the Chicago or New
York aggregation.
