WINTER BASEBALL

~ MMET ROGERS and Jess Oren-
H dorff returned recently from
~ trip of several days to Pomona,
Riverside, Ontario and San Bernardino,
where they interviewed the leading
baseball fans of those towns in regard
to the organization of the proposed
new class d league in that section. Ac-
cording to the reports of the two pro-
moters and the newspaper clippings
they brought back with them, their
project met every assurance OF success
and is as good as successfully launched,
the first details of the organization
already having been completed. In the
distribution of franchises Kitty Brash-
ear gets Pomona; Jack Meyers, the
catcher of the New York Clients, Xiv
erside; David Alter, who plays the
infield with the White Sox, Ontario and
Upland-these coming into the organ
ization under one contract-and Rogers
and Orendorff get the San Bernardlno
berth. The league proposes TO play
five games a week. Next week meet
ing will be held, when president and
other officials will be elected and a
schedule drawn up. According to pres
ent plans the league will open on Aprll
1 with tho White Sox and Vernon
teams.
The All-Stars, after dormant period
of several weeks, have again broken
into the Southern California baseball
ljmelight, and next Sunday this club of
professional mixture from almost all
the leagues in the country will mingle
with Joe Judges Pasadena aggregation
on the Crown City diamond. Since
their defeat of Jim McCormick's Irish
bunch last Sunday the silk-stockings
have been spelling to mix with some
thing on the White Sox order, and 1t
seems they have made fairly good con-
nection in taking on a live one when
they closed with the Stars for Sunday S
date. There surely will be something
nonnine in that baseball enclosure at
the society center when the two clubs
lock horns. The All-Stars would like
to hear from Riverside for Washing

Baron Long, always remembered as
one of the best fellows who ever walked
the local Rialto, was the originator of
the insurance against the rain gag.
When he was running the Jeffries Ath-
letic club Long and his publicity pro-
moter" conceived the idea of getting
little free advertising for the Welsh
Attell scrap by claiming they were
after insurance against the actions of
one j. Pluvius. OF course the wise duo
did not intend spending any money
with Lloyds, or any other insurance
concern. but they got the publicity just
the same, thus beating Sid Hester and
the so-called original Frisco bunch to
the gag.

Jim McCormicks pool sharks came
back strong last evening in their re-
turn match with Joe Judges team of
Crown City experts and defeated them

the final series of the tournament will
bring together a record attendance of
those who follow the cue game. AS
yet it has not been decided whether
the final series will be played in Nc

FLEET OR NO FLEET

Rumors relative to the Pacific fleet
of cruisers and torpedo boats are still
being heard on all sides. 1t is said
now that the fleet VIII be here this
fall for at least three months, but
Admiral Rees has heard nothing Of
ficially about it and none Of the off,
GERS on the cruisers now in port seem
to think that there is any truth ii
the report.
In spite of the official end of the
rumor, private letters have been re-
ceived from the coast which indicate
that the navy department is consider
ing the feasibility of sending the ships
here for their winter maneuvers. The
presence of nearly sixteen warships in
port for three months would mean a
great deal to the city IN every way.
In time, when Pearl Harbor is open
ed as a navy yard, a large number
of ships will be here prcticall all the
time in addition to a station ship
which will probably have crew of at
least three hundred on board.
A business man stated this morn
ing that he had received from a
friend of his on one of the cruisers
that the fleet was coming here some
time in September and would remain
for at least three months.
Chief Clerk Roenitz at the naval sta
tion stated this afternon that Admiral
Rees had received no official word
from Washington and he doubted very
much If the fleet would be here.

an interchange of passengers on his

ing steamers, the Sonoma and Ven

the upper bay for the last three years
or since they were taken off the Sgd

subsidy having expired.
II is now proposed according to the
story told by people close to the
Spreckels interests, to rebuild the So
mona and Ventura and place them on
the Sydney, Auckland and San Fran
cisco route, with a third steamer to
be furnished by Sir James Mills from
the Union company's feet, and to

and the colonies. Efforts would, Of
course, be made to secure a subsidy
but the line. with the traffic arrange

A prominent lnter-Island man said
this afternoon; THE Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company has reach

is an essential part of its business.
So important is our business to the
local railway, that the railway itself
