Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-12

Eddie Mailer, Wnlie the latter Is away
on a Los Angeles boosting trip with the
White Squadron, has decided to go to
Catalina today Tor stay Of three or
four days ana has appointed the writer
as president ana manager ell tenipore.
Win both presidents and managers
absent, Hogan and Dillon should have
the time OF their young lives and get
away with a lot of stuff that Will
please the fans. In the event that
Vernon should hold Los Angeles to
standstill for three or four games, Hen
viii come hustling back from Avalon
without being sent for, as he would
prefer to lose a whole series to any
other team than to drop two in row
to Vernon.
1t may be of interest to know that
the Coast league pennant race Is so
close that three figures are not sut-
ticient now to separate the teams and
give them their rightful places. For
instance; Frisco and Portland are tied
for first place with three figures. Car
rying them out to five figures, Portland
is entitled to first place by .O0O26. Again,
Oakland and Vernon are tied for fourth
place in three figures, while Vernon
really is ahead. Here are the actual
figures Vernon .51515, Portland .51456.
Just to start an argument the stand
ings of the teams in the Coast league
race today are given in the official
figures as: Portland, .54945, San Fran
cisco .54919, Los Angeles .5192S, Vernon
.515l5, Oakland 51456 and Sacramento
,35O5l, Yet, if the season should END
today, the official standings would be
the same as those appearing in the
table published in another column.
Quite a number of friends visited
Jeffries yesterday when he came IN
from his ranch to his city home for
few hours. Jim Morley, Hen Berry,
Jack Kipper and others called on the
big fellow. He will leave for Catalina
today or tomorrow for a short rest be-
fore going to the mountains for long
hunt. Jeff is looking all right now
and those who did not know that he
had been in a fight as recently as last
week would not know 1t by looking
at him. His eyes and face are as fresh
and clear as ever and do not bear any
marks of the recent encounter with the
big dinge. But jeff will not talk re-
garding his future plans and that is
one thing that his friends are i'm
patiently waiting for him to do to
clear up the situation.
ITp to this time there has been no
trouble occasioned by the presence of
Jack Johnson in the big cities where
efforts are being made to stop the ex-
hibition of the fight pictures and II IS
a cinch that the golden smile would
more quickly incense the white man
in the circumstances than the silent
films show the details of the Reno
fight. Race prejudice has not cropped
oTt to any extent and 1t looks like
false alarm and a subterfuge or the
opposition upon which to base fight
upon the moving pictures.
Aldolp Becker and Billy Dreyfuss
are due to arrive in Los Angeles this
afternoon from Frisco, coming by boat
for a brief business trip. Dreyfuss is
coming to take charge OF the WaldorI
cigar stand while Claude Walker day
man, goes for a period of enjoyment
that he terms his annual vacation:
Meantime, Fred Kruger, manager OF
the dump is as busy as a bird dog
getting things Strengthened out for the
critical eyes of his boss and is not
quite as obliging and defering as usual
