Star Thistle and slowly is adding to his string
in anticipation of continued success on the

each year in point of number of winners that
he sends to the post AL Blute is as expert

While they run consistently and always are
trying for first place., the boolxies usually lay
a good price against their chances. He is a
thorough sportsman, and while he does not
patronize the bookies very much, he usually
has a bet down when he sends his own horses
to the post The business is purely a business
venture with him and a pastime, also and he
seems destined to rank with the best of them

WINTER LEAGUE
HAS NEAR FIGHT
DIRECTORS HOLD A STORMY
SESSION
President LeIande Pours Water on
Fiery Debate Between Jack Doyle
and Umpire Lane Over
Latter's Fees

The directors of the California winter
league held a stormy session last night at
the office of City Clerk Lelande, which came
nearly ending in a battle royal between
Jack Doyle of the South Side Athletic club
and Umpire Lane
demanded a fee of So for acting as indica-
tor man while in the discharge of his duties
at that park. Words passed between these
two gentlemen which would mob look good
in any family newspaper. President Harry
Lelande poured water over the fire.
Doyle has always paid the umpires which
come to his park the sum of $1.50 as umpire
fees, and last Sunday Lane made demand
of $3.50 which Doyle refused to pay. The
league took no action in the matter.
Several bills were presented for payment
and San Pedro team were taxed $40 for
failure of having their full lineup the
teams in which they were scheduled to play
upon.
Payments Are Ordered
Considerable discussion arose over the
payment of $50 due the Edison team from
the San Diego manager for expenses to the
southern city February 13. A motion
made by Doyle and seconded by Mitchell
was carried compelling the San Diego club
to pay the Edison team what was due them.
The next matter before the meeting was
the protested game between the San Pedro
and the Santa Ana teams over the expense
account of $40 due the San Pedro aggrega-
tion After considerable wranglng the
league voted to pay the San Pedro team
what was due them. The fine of Manager
Bill Goodman of the Hoegee team was or
dered paid. A few Sundays ago Umpire
Alex Hoag fined Goodman $3.50 for battery
and ungentlemanly conduct the field at
South Side Athletic club. President Harry
Lelande took occasion to state that there
was truth in the stories published in an
evening paper to the effect that he had dis
pensed with the services of Hoag umpire.
1t was decided to close the league series
with next Sundays game with the exception
of the San Pedro and Pasadena game, which
was ordered by President Lelande to be
