Double-headers today and tomorrow
will wind up the present series between
the Angels and the Senators, and Dill
lon is going to make a great effort to
make it four victories in two days.
The baseball cranks should bear in
mind the fact that only one of the four
remaining games will be played at
Doyle park, that one being the Sunday
morning game as usual. The morning
game tomorrow, instead of being
played at Vernon, will be pulled off at
the Chutes, as will all the afternoon
games. There will be no off day in
the Coast league schedule this week,
San Francisco coming south to en-
gage in a sevengame series beginning
Tuesday afternoon. Upon the result
of the two double headers with Sacra-
mento and the series with the Seals
will depend in a large measure the
hopes of the Angels to begin the next
northern trek at the top of the heap.
BY winning the remaining games with
the Senators and taking five in seven
from the Seals, as the team figures to
do, it is more than probable that the
club will be on the top Of the heap
two weeks hence when it starts north
again The classy ball that the boys
are playing now encourages the fans
in the belief that it will be the Angels
that will bring the coveted bunting to
the south again, and this hope is based
on the return to form of the players,
their recovery of batting form and
the addition. of Catcher Waring and
the sOuthpaWs, Castleton and Klein,
to the lineup. The addition of Halli-
nan, the sensational second baseman,
also materially strengthens the team,
as he will be good enough to fill in
at any infield position in the event of
injury to any of the regulars, and his
batting makes him at least a valuable
pinch hitter for emergencies. With all
these fine hopes in a fair way of reali-
zatioin, the fans should continue to
encourage the team with liberal at
tendance and loyal roofing at every
game.
Poor old erratic Rube Waddell finally
has figured himself out of the big
brush and will be relegated to the mi
nors. President Hedges of the st.
Louis Browns has been trying to sell
or give away the erratic one, but the
Columbus team of the American asso-
citation seems to be the only club that
will take a chance with him. 1t has
been arranged for Rube to go to that
club. Rube once was the greatest
pitcher in the big brush, and had he
taken care of himself, let fire water
alone and used his best EFFORTS TO WIN
for his team, he would have remained
in the major league for some time to
come.
Hallinan, the new second sacker that
Berry got from Stockton, looks like the
real goods. His first trial with the
team, in the Friday game gave the
fans a good impression of his playing
and batting ability, and Dillon and
Berry expect much of him in future.
Even if he does not draw a regular
berth on the team he will prove handy
when a pinch hitter Is needed, and
his classy fielding will enable him to
fill in at any position in case of acci-
dent to any of the infielders.
AS the time draws nearer for the big
fight, the fans who procrastinated
about getting tickets to Reno are be-
ginning to kick themselves severely be
cause they will be unable to go. The
fight did not appear as attractive a
week ago as 1t does now and 1t would
be no trouble at all to fill another spe-
cial as big as the Berry Hancock train,
Bull Thorsen seems finally to nave
rounded to winning form, and now the
big boy should win lot of games for
the Angels. Confidence is a big asset
