Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-30

Castleton seems to improve with each sue
ceeding game, and the confidence which the
fans had in his ability to beat the Senators
yesterday was more than justified by his per
formanee. lie allowed four scratch hits, but
took particular care to see that they pulled on
scoring stunts He has fearfully wide
curves and would fool Wagner splits the plate
in the heart and has the finest control of any
southpaw seen in action on a Coast league
diamond this year. lie has not lost game
this season and seems to be so blamed good
th@s5rfl rivals for pitching honors will he up
against it during the next four months of
play. Nothing seems to rattle him. although
he never has gotten into hole where it
would be possible for him TO get the least bit
nervous regarding the result. He certainly Is
some pumpkins, and Hen Berry made a ten
strike when he landed him. 1t is a safe bet
that he will be doing business In the big
brush next season.
Just 157 fight fans who had planned to go
to Reno to see JEFF clean the coon will he
disappointed. according to applications for
tickets hled with George Hancock of the Berry
Hancock special Although two additional
Pullmans were also allowed Berry and Han
cock, increasing the capacity Of the special TO
22O passengers 157 applications have been re-
ceived in the last two days. since all reserva-
tons had been closed Tickets that were sell
ing for S33 for the round trip on this European
hotel on wheels worth a century note now,
and Berry said last night that he could fill
another train in one day IL he could get the
Pullmans. Somebody suggested that he get
an engine and caboose and run fiat car
special. When the fans notified day by
day that delays were dangerous in the matter
of reservations on this special they probably
thought it was press agent stuff but now
they are administering themselves severe
punishment la self-kicking exercises for fail
ing to take heed.
There will be about 500 Los Angeles fans
at ringsde at Reno when the big fellow be-
gins mauling johnson. That will be a good
representation, but it will not be more than
half the number that would have been there
had transportation facilities been more easy
TO obtain. San Francisco has booked 1000
reservations and It looks like the entire sport
ing fraternity of the northern city will be
on hand for the celebration Word from
Frisco has been received here by several in
dividuals that all the specials running out OF
that city are filled to the guards and that
no room is available. Reservations on reg
ular trains are far in excess of the Pullman
accommodations It looks tough to the mil
Honaire who has pocketful of rocks and
automobile that he cannot get to the fight,
despite that he easily could buy a a special
train for his own private use. The rail-
roads are taxed to the limit and the Pull
man company is sending cars to the coast
on rush orders, but they cannot supply the
demand Amt it awful Clarice?
Joe Conley wires from St Joe. Mo- that
he has arranged a four-round scrap for that
city between his brother frankie and a dub
bearing the label of Buck Plottell mot Watt
'elD for July and that he would be ticlled
to do some business with INK Tom. This bout
able to be at ringside at Reno they had
intended. However arter a short visit al
home they will return to Los Angels, provld-
ing the local ten-round no decision game sur
wives. Talk Of a match between Conley and
Patsy Brannigan may develop into mitch for
the middle of July and the fans here would
be tickled to hear the news that these classy
bantams had been matched.
Howard and Bernard are out of the game
for a day two with injuries of a minor
nature Howard has a stone bruise on his
right heel and Bernard hurt slightly in
his fall in right field Tuesday. Dad Wheeler
is playing second for Howard and Artie Ross
is holding down right field for the doctor. Two
reliable hitters are out Of the game, but
Wheeler and Ross very handy with the
stick themselves, long as a bunch of
cellar champs are playing here there is no
necessity for becoming alarmed
Little Lord Fauntleroy has leased a grape
vine telegraph wire and has arranged to
furnish the returns round by round from ring
side July 4. He will entertain the fans who
stay at home at the old Elks hall with a
bulletin of each round, and probably VIII
have the only show of its kind in the city.
Hooray for the Lord! Maybe, luck Is break
ing his way once again, and here's hoping
it is true
Jeems Morley and Jack Doyle will be among
those who cannot get away to see the pls
fight Morley finds it impossible to go pc
cause he would have to be away from I-e
