ANOTHER LEAGUE
ORGANIZED HERE
CLASS D ORGANIZATION IS
EFFECTED
RECOGNIZED AND PROTECTED
BY NATIONAL COMMISSION
Jimmy Mccormick and Associates
Band Together in First ALI
Year League in History
of Baseball

A class %" league organization was
effected yesterday afternoon at meet
ing held at 210 Lissner building under
the name of the Southern California
Trolley league, and an application for
recognition was forwarded to Secre-
tary J. H. Farrell of the national base
ball commission. The request for rec
ognition was merely a matter of form,
as several days ago word had been re-
ceived by Managers Mccormick and
Crolic, who are fathering the move
ment, that the league would be ad-
mitted and receive the protection Of
the national organization.
Franchises were granted to ]. P. Nc
Cormick, Ed Crolic of Santa Ana,
Walter Ransom of Redondo, j. S.
Abrams of Long Beach, Joe Judge of
Pasadena and George M. Ward. Ward
will probably enter his team under the
name of Hollywood, while Mccormick
will have the Los Angeles club, which
will play under his name. Ransom,
Abrams and Ward were appointed a
schedule committee, and their report
will be read at the next meeting,
which will be held next Wednesday
afternoon at 1 o'clock at the same
office.
James Mccormick was elected presi-
dent, Walter Ransom vice president,
Ed Crolic secretary and Ward treas
urer. The officers propose to make it
the only baseball league in existence
that will play the national game the
year around. This feature alone will
bring the organization before the pub
lie, and it is expected that many an
aspiring ball tosser will be given his
start up the rungs of the ladder lead
ing to the big leagues.
Perfecting this organization is the
fulfllment of another of Jim McCor-
mfck's pet schemes. He and Ed Crolic
have worked hand in hand on this
proposition, and the realization of it
promotes them and others who have
been leaders in local amateur base
ball to leaders in the professional
ranks,

condition. This was done along the
 line of Judge Peabody's property but
 Mr. Clarke declares that nothing was
 done in that line with his property.
 The railroad official, he says, failed
 to keep his agreement, and he asked
 for Tedress through the town council,
 which could be done by insisting that the road make good with MT Clark before any more privileges are given the company He invited the coun- cilmen to visit the premises in a body to ascertain whether justice and hon. or had been bestowed" upon him.
 President Clarke said that it was a matter that was wholly with MT. Clark and the trolley company; that the land in question was private prop erty over which the town had no ju- risdiction.
 The council then adjourned, but the members remained in their seats and indulsed in some political gossip, with special reference to the recent republican caucus when unsuccessful effort was made to prevent the re nomination of Councilman Horace D. Burdick. It was stated that while the movement was supposed to emanate from the Italian voters, it was engi- neered by two men prominent in re- publican party affairs and by a lead ing prohibitionist It was further said that the present prohibition movement at Tuesdays election was for the pur- pose of securing the votes of Italians in the hope of defeating Councilman 
 It was also said at this informal session that there was remote poSsi- bility that the entire republican ticket would be elected and that it might be well to agree upon a time for reor- ganization. One of the councilmen said it was not always well to count chickens before they are matched So it was understood that if the chicks are matched, as anticipated the coun- cihnen will meet for organization on Thursday morning of the present week
