WARING IS BACK
FOR FINAL RACE
AnueI Catcher Has Been Handi-
capped by Illness but He
Has Come Back

One of the Anger tndluSlttSS beillhu
the bat next year will be Harry War
ing. who has been working regular this
week. Warning joined Los Angeles
about the middle of this season, just
after Orendorff had been put out or
business by Jack Lively, who struck
him in the head with a sw fit inshoot.
Smith was the only catcher on the
club at that time and Dillon, in look
ing around for someone to assist
Hughey with the backstopping, espied
Waring, who was then with the
Frisco state league club. As the state
league was in danger Of going under
Warning jumped at the chance to be-
come an Angel, and for several weeks
worked in turn with Smith behind the
timber. About a month ago Harry
became i'll and was sent to the springs
to recuperate. He has regained his
health and is now In first class shape
for work. Warning intends to srend
the winter catching for Palmer's San
Diego Winter league club, and barr
ing possible injuries, to which catch
er is always exposed, should return
here in the spring fit and ready for
the seasons work.
How have the mighty fallen-Mitch-
ell the erstwhile mysterious one, is
now pitching bush league ball around
Los Angeles. To think that one who
caused every fan on the coast to spend
sleepless nights endeavoring to dis
cover his identity. should come to this.
Verify Dame Fortunes wheel turneth
quickly.
Jack Doyle will be obliged to sign
up new first-sacker for his club as
the news has reached here that Tom
Tenant, upon whom he was counting
as his first sack guardian, will man
age the Brawley, Cal, club this win
ter.
An example of condensed excite
ment-"Norm'' Brashear, about the
time the returns from the Vernon
Oakland games are due. And maybe
it doesn't hurt the big first baseman to
set here idle while his club is losing
to the Commuters. His injured foot
/ is healing nicely and "Brash' expects
/ to get into harness next week.
/ "Pinkie" Grindle is an interested
! spectator at the Chutes these days.
/ Grindle is still the property of the Los
/ Angeles club and will be on the squad
next season. "Pinkie" burned up the
Cactus league this summer with his
fast work and looks good for pext
season.

Knapp and Fisher finally rid them
selves of their hoodoo Yesterday. Until
yesterdays game Knapp has not won
a game with Fisher receiving for some
time Now that luck has turned for
them, McCredie will have no qualms
about sending the two in together.
About the seventh inning, when little
Knapp appeared to he firing, McCredie
! ordered Vean Gregg and Seaton to
warm up. However their services were
not needed, as Knapp soon steadied and
pitched stellar ball for the remainder
of the contest.
Buddy Ryan occupied the center of
the stage at the finish of the sixth,
Howard banged a drive to center which
looked good for a elbow" but Ryan,
by fast foot work, shared the sphere
as it took a wicked shoot to the ground.
It was some catch.
Warnings quick thinking was respon-
sible for triple play pulled off in the
sixth by the Angels. The majority of
Catchers would have grabbed up the
ball and heaved it to first, but Harry,
apparently fOreseeing the decision that
was afterward rendered by the Jumps, >
shot the pill to Hallinan, who in turn.
after tagging Casey, sent it to Delmas,
who put out Kruger. Warnings cleve~
engineering of the play earned him the
plaudits Of the fans.
Dillon was on the playing field for
the first time in a week, when he
rushed out to learn McGreevy's de-
cisiOn on the triple play. Not a step
behind "Cap" was McCredie, also after
information and ready to fight for his
rights Dillon went back with a smile.
while Mac slowly strobe benchward.
muttering auathemas upon the heads Of
all members of the umpiring tribe.
"Rush" Kennedy drove ont two sin
Giles. He declared after Tuesdays game
that he was waiting for Gregg to pitch.
"Tf can't hit the ordinary ones, maVbe
I can drive the cracks to the woods,
said he. It's all right. Vean. come
forth. Kennedy has got his bingles and
is now in a kindly frame of mind to-
ward all
Casey was given a hit in the eighth
because Hughey Smiths throw was
lust a trihe slow. Pearl dropped one
toward first. and Warning, Criger and
Smith all rushed for the ball. HuPhey
shouted 81 have it," and others stopped
, When Hueh finally heaVed to Howard
Casey had gone past the bag
Daley's throw to the plate in the
eighth on which Knapp was doubled
smacked Of big league flavor. Pete
certainly did himself proud The heave
was one Of the best seen here this sea-
son. Very few men i'm the Coast league
have anything on Daley for all-around
good work.
Criger worked Knapp for a pass
three Of the four times he faced the
dhninutive one. Elmer has a good eye
and refused to bite at anything but
| the balls that cut the plate.
Here's a tribute to Eddie Collins bat
ting prowess: When Cole, the Chicago
pitcher was picked to work against the
Athletics in the fourth game Of the
world's series he went to Moredca
Brown and asked the three-fineereo
one how to keep Collins from hitting
Browns roputed answer Is worth more
than all the praise of the experts: "Put
! your back and shoulders In everything
you throw; put all you have on the
hall, and pray"
"The best game of the season." was
2 the universal verdict of the fans after
Yesterdays contest, and the longest
$ battle i'm many moons. Those present
