BERRY RETURNS
TO PLAN FOR 1871
Trip East Productive of Finds.
Next Years Team Will
Be Reiuvenated

Manager Henry Berry of the Angels
returned home yesterday and imme-
diately went into conference with Cap
tain Dillon in regard to the personnel
of the Angel team for next season and
the prospects for a pennant winning
combination in 1911. While both are
chary about giving out information
until several deals now pending with
eastern magnates have been COM
pleted, they have given out enough
to make sure the fact that radical
changes will be made in the team be-
fore the next season opens.
Berry has been in conference with
two or more big league managers in
the east and he announces that several
new infielders and outfielders will
grace the Angel roster when the spring
training season rolls around. Without
divulging the name of the man, Berry
says he expects to secure an infielder
of a little above class A caliber from
Frank Chance.
This news will be welcome to the
local fans, for while this season has
been the only poor one the Angels
have had in six years, local followers
have become so used to seeing winning
clubs in this city that any other kind
of a team causes them to accumulate
a ueclueu peeNeJ WHICH ShO"S i'SSAL
through the season.
The pitching staff of the season will
be essentially the same next year.
Delhi, Castleton, Criger, Tozer and
Thorsen will do the bulk of the work.
with young Klein to help them out on
occasions. This youngster is expected
to develop into a crackerJack tWlrler
in the course of a couple of seasons,
and Dillon thinks enough of him to
Id oil
Coast league company. Walter Maggie,
who has been the star twirler of the
league for several years, has certainly
earned a chance in the big show, and
most probably will be sold or traded
to some big league club before spring.
ORENDORFF TO RETIRE
The catching department will be
handled by Smith, Warning and a new
man for whom the club is now dick
ering. Orendorff expects to retire from
the diamond at the close of the pres
ent season, as he has outside business
which will require all of his time.
Dillon promises to be in shape to re-
sumo his old stand at the initial sta
ton In the spring and Howard and
Delmas will be back on the infield.
Metzger, the third sacker from the
Waterbury, Conn. league club, will be
given a chance on third and If he
performs up to the requirements will
be stationed there permanently. Daley
and Bernard will be fixtures in the
outfield again, and these two easily
class with the best outer gardeners IN
the league Spike" Kennedy is show
ing up we'll in the left garden and
with a little more experience is ex-
pected to be a star. He shows up well
with the stick and his fielding has been
f1awless. With these men and those
for whom negotiations are now being
carried on, Berry declares the local
fans will have a team next season of
which they may well be proud.
NAGLE TO BIG BRUSH
The loss of Maggie and Mailman will
be a severe one, but Walter is just
aching for a chance to show what he
has in the "big brush" and has twirled
such consistent ball for the local team
since he has been on the pay roll that
the club officials will do all in their
power to help him realize his ambi-
ton. At that he has not yet been lost
and may be a member of the club
when reporting time comes next
spring. Mailman goes to st. Louis,
where for his sake it is 20 be hoped
he is given thorough tryout. Eddies
work with the Angels has been excel
lent and although his hitting could be
improved he hits the ball as hard as
anybody on the team and is certain to
strike his stride one of these days
He cannot hit them all the time.
The young giant, Delhi. should get
on we'll next year. and with Castleton
Criger and Thorsen in shape the pitch
ing staff should class with any other in
the league.
The class of ball being played in this
league improves each year and without
a fast bunch representing the Angel
city local fans cannot hope for win
ming club. However, Berry and Dillon
promise to provide the speed, batting
ability and stickworl1 combination for
next year, and with this combination
the outlook appears promising. Here's
hoping the best for the season of 1911
