HN HAT the formation of the Southern
California Trolley league, the
class D organization fathered by
Jim Mccormick and Ed Crolic of Santa
Ana, would meet opposition by the Pa
cific Coast league, according to cur
rent rumor, seems to be without any
| foundation. 1t is true that Hen Berry
has received a telegram from Cal
Ewing, asking whether or not the for
nation of this league would be a det-
riment to the local interests of the
coast organization. But in a recent
interview with Berry by President Nc
Cornick and Manager Ward of the
new organization the local magnate
did not seem disposed to oppose the
formation of the minor organization,
and it is presumed that his reply to
the message was, or will be, favor
able one. The new league, which will
be composed of six clubs, will not be
trespassing on any of the Coast league
territory as the two teams of this city,
namely the McCormicks and the
Maiers, will play all their games on the
diamonds of the four other out of the
city clubs. According to this arrange
ment, none of the games of the new
league Will DC pldytu III L4liS S4ly ehiId
consequently will not be in conflict
with the two local Coast league clubs.
The four towns that will receive fran
chses are Santa Ana, Redondo, Pasa-
dena and Long Beach. When Eddie
Maier, president of the Vernon club.
was called up yesterday and asked
what he thought Of this class D organ
ization, he spoke very faVorably of IT,
saying: II think it a progressive move
I J. II
ifornia and I intend to boost it." Hap
Hogan, when questioned likewise, was
of the same opinion and said: 81 think
it is a good move and the league should
develop many good players. AS the
| league does not intend to play in Los
Angeles, I can't see that 1t will be a
detriment to the Coast league" This
kind of talk, coming from these big
guns in local baseball, speaks well for
the new venture. and it is predicted
| that this latest launched baseball craft
will have good sailing with a stiff
| breeze in an open sea.
