MT OWADAYS Jim Mccormick and
" Ed Crolic, president ad secretary
~ of the newly organized Southern
California Trolley league, are the en-
blematic living representation of the
smile that won't come off. All this
radiating cheerfulness has been brought
about by the successful termination of
plans for the organization of their class
d league. This new movement IN the
professional ranks of Southern Callfor-
MIA received several hard jolts through
the hammer route, but, although the
national commission was rather rough
at times, thanks to the knocking whis-
pers of several of the local minor
breezes in the ears Of the mighty in
baseballdom of our southland, the
latest professional debutant has ar
rived safely in the home port. Some
time ago, when prospects of the ven
ture looked the brightest, word by tele-
graph was received from Secretary j..
H. Farrell of the national commission
that the promoters, Mccormick and
Crolic, must receive signed statements
from the local Pacific Coast league
magnates stating that they were in
favor of the move. This state of affairs
put cold blanket on the bright hopes
of those Interested who did not Know
DuI Indl aIter all tHey llllShI pe u AS"i
ing on the toes of the local big guns.
But Berry, Dillon, Maier and Hogan
soon set at rest their fears, and quickly
signed the required paper and ex-
pressed their best wishes for q sue
cessful future. With this cordial inVi-
tation from the hefties of the Coast
! league to join professional ranks, 1t Is
q certainty that the baby member VIII
have smooth sailing and be a success
