Notes on Local Ball Plays and Players

never fails to come home each
evening with several nice, plump
chickens. ALL of which MONK
claims is false and libelous. II
that ugly rascal starts anytnins
around heah, Ah'n sure run nun
from this club house." declared
"Shine" Tuesday.
A peculiar rule in the baseball
code book requires the scoring OF
Castletons wild pitch in the htth
inning as a passed ball. Accord
ing to this particular statute, a
strikeout and a wild pitch cannot
be charged up to q twirler on the
same play, hence Waring Is given
a passed ball, as Steen completed
his third swing at the woozy heaVe,
although he could not have stopped
it with barn door.
George Wheeler, the Angel util-
ity man, is gone. Not for good,
but for the balance of the season.
Wheeler was granted leave of abb
sence to visit his wife, who is i'll
in Rome. N. Y. From the latter
town George will so to Bangor
Me-, his old home, to spend the
winter.
The one topic of discussion in the
Angel club house is the approach
of the seasons close. The team
has had long streak of ill luck
this season, and as 1t promises TO
continue until the last day, the
boys are anxious for that day to
arrive. "Oh, how many more
games?" this from Pete Daley.
"Only twelve" joyously returns
Bernard. Chorus--"Only twelve
more games and We'll be free from
this dull round of misery"
"Shine," the husky Ethiopian
trainer of the Tigers, has become
an ardent Angel rooter. He ex-
plains his attitude tnusly: well,
the Tigers is away, and as long as
the Angels is playin' some other
club l like to see 'em win. love
those Angels, but Oh, you Tigers!"
Guess those Senators are going
slow. Five out of six games from
Oakland. McCredie has the lowly
cellar champs" to thank for rid
ding him of a troublesome bunch
of ball players who threatened to
push him close for the rag.
Joe Seaton of the Seattle North
west league club IS the latest of the
winter colony to arrive in the city
of the Angels. Scaton got in yes
terday and declares that there is
no place like Southern California.
Joe, after pitching swell ball here
during the last winter even de-
feating the Chicago White Sox in
that memorable game at Long
Beach, got away TO bad start this
spring and went to playing the out
field. He was stationed in right
field during the greater part of last
season and likes the outer garden
ing so we'll that he has about de-
cided to give up pitching.
Occidental colored team of Salt
Lake will meet an all-star club
under the management of Jim Nc
Cormick in a two-game series at
Jack Doyles Vernon park next Sat
urday and Sunday afternoons, COM
mencing at 2:30 o'clock. The col
ored club won the championship of
Utah and Wyoming this summer,
and is even faster than the aggre-
cation which played such good ball
here last winter under the OccI-
dental colors.
Bill PettuS ana sam LanS1oru,
two of the stars of the crack Leland
Giant colored team of Chicago, are
here and will be seen in the Occi-
dental lineup. Pettus is known as
the man who hits 'em out, because
of his hammer-t r-the-fence-down bat
ting feats. Langford is a pitcher Of
no mean ability and but for his
color would be twirling professional
ball in some class A league right
now.
The All-Stars Will be composed OF
experienced men, some of whom
will shine in big league company
next year, and all of whom know
baseball from A TO q. Waring Of
the Angels will be behind the tim
ber and Decanniere Of the Louis
vile club will do the heaving.
Reiger of the ST. Louis Cardinals
will hold down first, Harris of the
McCormicks will cover second and
Dick Breen of Vancouver will play
third. The outfeid will be COM
posed of Joe Seaton of Seattle, Pitt
man of the Newton, Kas., team,
StoVall and Reeve.
