The members of the Orange Athletic
baseball squad, which defeated the
Bethesda ball nine last Saturday, on
the Orange diamond, to 0, are con-
fident that they will make a good
showing in the Saturday afternoon
ranks. In the first place, Dutch
Henrichs, who will twirl, could beat
most of the bushers on a bowling al
ley, with eight pins for support. This
phenomenal youngster has signed with
the Santa Ana club of the Southern
Trolley league and will have Stone,
formerly of the Anaheim cluD, 10 as
sist him in that department He Is
of big league caliber and no doubt
would have gone to the big leagues
long ago IL he had desired to do so.
Rumor has 1t that Henrichs has signed
with the Washington club of the
American league and will pitch a few
games i'm the Trolley league before he
Joins faster company. He will be
team mate of Walter Johnson, premier
pitcher of the big bush. Henrichs PROB
ably is one of the most remarkaole
young pitchers in this neck of the
woods. Guy Meats, the veteran, who
had much to do with the development
of Walter johnson, and who could be
playing professional ball If he so de-
sired. will handle Henrichs' delivery,
while in the Saturday ranks. Pratt or
Carl Schmidt will do the honors on the
initial sack, Henry Meehan on second,
Ted Witt at short, and clyde Naleh-
cia. on third will complete the in1eld ar
rangement for the orange club. These
bows are a hard hitting bunch. With
either Lester Slayback, Caye, Schmidt
or Joseph Henrichs in the outtield, Or
ange will be hard to defeat. Ben Car
penter. the hard-hitting third baseman,
who is out of the game on account or
a bad knee, expects to get back in har-
ness again shortly. Valencia, who is
holding down Carpenters place, lives
at Olive. He has been playing all win
ter with the Anaheim club and recent
lv was elected captain on account or
his excellent work on the country dia-
mond.
