Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-21

Captain Dillon and his Angelic ag-
gregation arrived in town yesterday
morning from their four weeks tour
of the north, bringing two new pitch
ers and a new catcher with them. The
bunch will open a four weeks stand
on the local diamonds this afternoon
with Oakland as the victims. Cap is
very hopeful that the month he and his
bunch will be at home will be suf-
ficient to put them in the race for the
bunting, and bases his hopes upon the
fact that he now has classy pitch
ing staff that can be depended upon
and that his batters are hitting the
ball scientifically and in a winning
way. Cap says that his only trouble
on the northern trip was with his
pitching staff and that the release of
Hosp and Briswalter. supplemented by
the addition of Klein and Castleton,
has greatly strengthened the team and
infused some of the germs of enthu-
siasm and confidence in the players,
so that they now are playingsthe best
ball in the league. Klein is kid,
but he has curves, speed and control,
and with a little more experience will
more than make good. Castleton IS
not an old timer, but he is an eX-
perienced hand at the artillery busl-
ness and while he was beaten in his
only tryout with the Angels, he fully
convinced Dillon that he will do. War
ing, the new catcher, is catching a flne
game and is stinging the ball like a
LaJoie or a Wagner and Dillon is
highly pleased with his work. Dillon
hopes, and so does everybody else IN
terested in the success of the Angel
band. that the fans will be just as loyal
in their support Of the Angels as they
were with the Vernon team, and prom
ises winning ball in return for the Ia
vor. The Angels are not out OF the
running by any manner OF means, ana
a few consecutive victories will scare
the other contenders into a brown fit.
Hank Berry, whose happy smile and
good humor is a big asset to any gath
erng desiring to enjoy life, came back
home with his pets and attended the
game yesterday afternoon. Hen old
bCv looks good and says that he had
bully good time while away from nome
He visited Jeffries for several days,
looked after his oil interests, bought
a few players and saw all the boys up
north. Hank is feeling like the world
is still going to revolve even If ne does

Richard and Gleason judging from
the Wild and woolly efforts at arouS-
ing a suspicion that the Nevada au-
thorfties will step in and complete the
7ob that Gillett began in trying TO pre-
vent Jeffrics and Johnson from nSntins
it out Let it be understood that the
attorney general of Nevada and lhe
chief justice Of the state supreme
court have said That there is no law
in the sagebrush state against boxing,
prize 6ghting or any other old thlnB
that NAV be done with fiVe-ounce
gloves. and that with a statute speclfl
cally providing for the licensing OF
prize fighting. nothing short of spe-
cial session of the legislature can pre-
vent the scrap, and a special SESSION
hardly could be convened in time 10
pass a law against fighting, even IL
the legislators were all of one MIND III
favor of the project Furthermore the
Nevada citizens seem to be OF one
accord in welcoming the fighters 10
their state and all the postcard cam
paigns that can be started IN the next
three weeks cannot bulge them from

their veins and the fight will be pulled
off in Nevada at the rate Of 100 to 1
to those who think otherwise.
Abe Atteu and owen Moran are go
ing right ahead with their training Tor
the ten-round no-dccson boxing con
fest which McCarcy has arranged for
ITridav night, and unless all signs fail
the bout will surely be staged at Maud
Junction that night. Inasmuch as it
is TO be a simon pure boxing contest
between two of the cleVerest and
greatest boxers in the world under the
authority Of a city ordinance and the
state laws. it hardly seems probable
that there will be any interference.
Uncle Tom McCarey has stated that he
hopes the governor or his representa-
tive will be at ringside to see the bout,
so that there can be no question as to
its nature, and that he will guarantee,
in the absence of the governor or his
representative, that the bout will be
confined within the requirements Of the
state law. With the short limit to the
bout and the no-decision feature,
COUPLED with the further fact that
there is no purse hung up for them to
fight for. it would seem that McCarey
is complying strictly with the require
ments of the statute and the city or
dinances relating to boxing exhibitions.
