Officials of the Southern State league
held their regular weekly meeting last
Wednesday evening at 2lO Lissner
building, at which all teams were rep
resented. Manager Andrews of the
Gateway club, who withdrew that team
from the Southern State league some
time ago and entered it in the Trolley
league, placed his application before
the officials for re-entrance into the
organization. The application was IA
vorablv received, and Manager An
drews will be given the first oppor-
tunity to bring the Gateways back
into the fold. The Whittier-Redondo
controversy, in which the umpire for
feited the game to the latter club, came
up for discussion, and it seems that
the managers think the reteree acteu
too suddenly in the case. The ques-
tion will come up before the directors
at the next meeting for final judgment
Sundays schedule will wind up the
first half of the schedule, and the sec
ond half schedule is so arranged that
all teams will have an opportunity to
play off postponed games. Tilly and
Patch are working on the batting and
fielding averages, which will be COM
pleted next week.
Jimmy Kerwin, who broke into local
baseball fame playing the center gar
den for the Mccormick aggregation,
has been released from that club and
has ioined the Santa Barbara club, on
which team he is now gathering in
the rollers that bound in the vicinity
of the second cushion. Jimmy will be
donning the mask and breast protector
next.
Manager Ward of the Santa Barbara
team will give a box party this even
ing to the players of that club at the
Orpheum theater.
Philip Kelley, formerly third base
man of the AIaier team in the Cali
fornia Winter league, now playing
with the Santa Barbara club, rennant
winners of the same league, came down
from the Channel city yesterday to
take part in the game against the
TriIbys. Kelley will report to the
Beavers this season, having already
signed his contract with that club OF
the Pacific Coast league. Kelley has
improved considerably since leaving
the Angel city, both in his batting and
base running, and should be of great
strength with the Portland club this
season in the hitting department. His
batting average has been excellent
while playing with the Santa Barbara
team, having clouted the sphere at
900 clip. Kelley, since leaving Los An
Feles. has become a benedict, marrying
a native daughter Of the Channel city
AS a. member of the Ell Paso team he
made a good showing and from that
club went to the Santa Barbara CLUB.
James Flynn, the fighting coal
pusher. is just as good ball fan as
he is in the ring. Yesterday Jeems
won a twenty spot on the Channel
city club and was one of the northern
teams best rooters.
