BY RED PERKINS

| grounds Sunday afternoon. The final
score stood 2 to 0.

tween pitchers, with the visiting twirl'
er having shade the best of it. Fig
uroa of the Palms was unfortunate In
knocking out his battery partner in the
early part of the game. He sent in g
straight cannon ball right over the
| plate which went straight through
Lopez, knocking the wind out of hin
and putting him out of the game. Mar

The athletic grounds are in good
shape and the management of the Alb
bot Kinney company have extended
the free use of them to all teams who
wish to play, and there ought to be q
chance to pull off some good contests
there during the season.
| First Baseman May of the late Es-
peranza baseball team, Pasadena, is
attempting a reorganization of that ag-
gregation and it is likely that the or
ganization will soon enter the local
baseball field again.
The team, composed mainly of en-
ployes of the Sirnons Brick company
had a successful career during the win
ter A month or more ago, however
Manager Montana, who also pitched,
resigned because of the pressure Of his
business duties. The team then went
to pieces.
May has now taken in hand the re-
organization, and it is likely that w
C. DeLapp, well known local fan, will
manage the Organization and either
pitch or play in the field. DeLapp was
brought up In fast baseball company
although he has not played much OF
late years.
Under the new scheme, the team will
include any good players available and
will play on the South Lake avenue
grounds under some new name.
Baseball fans of Lamanda Park are
organizing an amateur team which viii
probably play every Sunday during the
summer months with amateur teams
from Los Angeles and surrounding
towns
Some good players have already been
signed up by Ritchie, who is managing
the organization. Pasadena fans well
come the organization, which means
added interest in the national game this
summer
