D AsEBALL gets back on the mar
n this afternoon. when the White
- Sox and Vernon teams hook VI
at Vernon for their first game. The
game will begin at 2;30 o'clock and
Hen Berry and Cap Dillon will be right
there on duty to "kid" Hogan and his
players all the way. The rivalry be-
tween the Angels and Vernons, as well
as that between the captain managers
and the club presidents, Berry and
Maier, is so intense that one faction
would miss its feed for an entire day
Just to get an opportunity to kid the
other If the Sox are victorious this
afternoon Hogan and Maier will be
PANIED to death by Berry and Dillon.
'Bool" Perrine will ump the game, and
both teams will trot out their star slab
sters to toss 'em over. The fans have
not seen the Vernon team in action yet,
but it is about completed now, and the
cfanks will turn out in large numbers
to see what sort of an aggregation Will
represent the packing house district in
the pennant race. The cars to South
side park, which is located at Thirty
eighth and Sante Fe avenue, leave
Seventh and Broadway, going east on
Seventh direct to the grounds. The
Pacific boulevard cars are the ones to
take, as the other cars go to the Sante
Fe depot.
Jack Atkin will go to the post this
afternoon in the fourth race, the fea-
ture event. at a mile. He will tote 1870
pounds. Many profess to believe that
the great sprinter, like Roseben, dis
likes the distance and will not be hard
to beat, but over a fast track Jack
probably will have to show Herman
Brandt and Barney Schrieber before
they will accept as true that this great
horse is solely Splinter. John Carroll,
Vox Populi, Miss Sain, Dominus Aroi,
Edwin T. Fryer and Cloyne will COM
plete the field in this event. The card
for today is unusually attractive, be-
cause of the improved class that will
be in evidence, and each of the seven
events should furnish fine race. The
juveniles will go half a mile and only
six will face the barrier, thus minimiz-
ing the chances for crowding and
humping at the stretch turn, where the
fatal accident occurred few days ago.
There is so much speed in the sixth
race that man would get dizzy try
ing to pick a winner out of the bunch
Jack Bennett cleaned up a small for
tune when Sandpiper won and then got
sore at. himself for not making a real
life-sized killing. He had $3.50 right on
the beezer, merely taking a chance that
his horse might win, while at the same
up to race. He won $3.50 at that, and
celebrated that birthday which es-
capped his notice last Saturday
Jockey Schilling's case was reopened
by the stewards yesterday morning, but
no action was taken. In view of the
rumors about the track to the effect
that this crack jockey practically was
ruled off for life and that he had no
chance of reinstatement, the news that
the stewards had reopened the case oc-
casioned much satisfaction among race
goers. With all his faults, Schilling is
very popular with racegoers because
of his superior ability as a post rider
and an all-round high class jockey, and
the stewards could do nothing that
would increase their popularity more
than by giving him another chance
There would not be one voice raised in
protest 1t was learned unofficially
that there is an excellent prospect that
Schilling will be reinstated soon, al
though none of the stewards will con-
firm or deny the rumor. The riding
colony is lacking in good and capable
riders now. since Dugan and others
