ANGELS PREPARE
TO FLY HOME WARD
Only a Few of This Years Team
Will Don Uniforms in
the Spring

One more week and the Angels will
be scattered to the four winds of
heaven. Not fguratively but literally
speaking for very few of the members
of Hen Berry's ball club expect to re-
turn to Los Angeles after the club dis
bands in Sacramento a week from to-
day. Here is the way the diamond
artists expect to spend the winter
months:
Capt. Dillon, in company with "GaVy"
Cravath of Minneapolis and Dolly Gray
of Washington, will make an extended
hunting trip into Mexico. Cap figures
that the two months spent in the open
will go a long ways toward putting him
in shape for the hard season ahead of
him. Walter Nagle will spend the off
season at his old home in Santa Rosa,
where he spent his boyhood days and
in which burg the fans consider him
the best mound artist in the world,
Jack Coombs and Indian Bender not
excepted.
Bert Delmas has ranch near Sebas-
topol, in the northern part of the state,
where he finds the work Of following
the pillow sufficient to keep him in shape
without resorting to winter ball.
Thomas Francis Daley, whose batting
average generally tops that of any
other member of the team, will travel
to Burlington, Iowa, where he will en-
gage in business with his father-in-laW
Hughey Smith is ambitious to be-
come a disciple of Blackstone and in
tends to put in his time studying law
at Santa Clara college. Eddie Halli-
nan, between spells of contemplating
life in the "big show and renewing old
acquaintances in San Francisco, will
assist his uncle, who is manager of the
West Coast Steamship company in the
Bay City.
t., fko1 !,
having the worlds lightning calculators
swept into the underbrush, will resume
his old stand as a bookkeeper for the
Gilmartin Printing company of San
Francisco. No wonder Spike can figure
batting and fielding percentages in
manner calculated to shame the league
official scorers. 4
THORsEN AWAITS KOEsTNER
Elmer Thorsen is awaiting the arriv-
al of Elmer Koestner, his former team
mate, who has been with the Maps this
season. and the pair plan to enjoy
themselves here this winter. Ivan
Howard and Frank Murphy will try the
climate of San Diego for the winter,
and incidentally will be members of
Bill Palmer's San Diego winter league
club. Murphy expects to become thor
oughly acclmated and be in shape for
the spring.
George Wheeler has already departed
for Bangor, Me, where he will have his
mail sent for several months. Bill
Tozer will captain the Mccormick team
of the winter league, and Bill prom
ises to be some manager. Failure to
land the pennant in this organization
will make Bill responsible for some
thing like 113 spreads at Levy's. He
made the bets himself.
"Flame" Delhi expects to land
winter league berth, but failing this
will make an extended stay in the
Malibu mountains. He is DESTROYS of
initiating one r. Roosevelt and will
doubtless return with tales mot tails)
with which he hopes to prove his fe-
rocious encounters with wild beasts.
"Kid" Klein has already accepted a
position with a northern railroad. "Ber
ME- Bernard will put the finishing
touches on his much delayed osteopa
thy course and may soon be expected
to blossom out with an office and shin
gle all his own. Jess Orendorff is up
to his neck i'm business deals and
should be nicely fixed in a business
way by spring Waring will be be-
hind the bat for the San Diego club,
where three Angels will wear Pal
mer's colors this winter
Elmer Criger, the southpaw HEAVIER,
will do nothing but enjoy Los Angeles
and it's attractions and Castleton, the
other port-sider, although not a Nor
mon, will spend his money in Salt
Lake City, which he calls home.
And last but not least is Alex. Fin
ley, or rather, DIR. Alex. Finley the
efficient trainer of the club, whose
work, although unseen, has done much
with a big Nd to keep the team from
becoming a bunch of cripples. Finley,
who is an expert mechanic, will have
charge of the Redondo car shops until
it is time once more to doctor the sore
arms and relieve the sprains and the
"charIey horses caused by contact
with a baseball field after several
