VIZ HEN the managers of the Win
w ter league baseball teams met
w at 80 Lissner building last
evening to lay their troubles before
President Lelande for adjustment that
worthy was given an evening of siren
uous entertainment, but far from mo-
notonous. The managers present were
Mitchell of the Salt Lakes, Frank Ben
kert of the Maiers, Spinks of the San
Bernardinos Crolic of tie Santa Anas,
Mccormick of the Shamrocks and
Palmer of the San Diego team. Man
ager Judge of the Pasadena club was
the only absentee, and what snow
he missed. Mitchell opened the seance
with a motion that all the money in
the league treasury be divided, AFTER
expenses were deducted, and the league
counted out. But this move merely was
a preliminary before the main event
no decision being rendered. Palmer
and Crolic, in the semiwindup attrac-
ton, lost no time getting at eacn
other, and the rag-chewing soon waxed
warm. Crolic opened with demand
for expense money due his team from
their last trip to the southern city
when rain had prevented contest,
and consequently no gate money was
1t seems that Manager Palmer had
notified Crolc to bring his team on
the morning train, but he instead took
the evening train and arrived there
during the night.
In doing this there was extra eX-
pense and gave the southern manage
ment no chance to stop the team from
coming in case of rain. A this stage
matters were getting fairly hot, and
e 71ifa I've WA
reached in which the word "crook"
and other remembering names were
freely used. President Lelande, acting
as referee, cautioned both severely
about fouling and rough house tactics.
Manager Palmer, speaking of the santa
Ana trip, labeled it a pleasure trip
But Crolic could not figure where the
pleasure came in. 'Well,' continued
the southern magnate, "as long as the
Santa Ana club left on the o'clock
train and did not stay and play the
game, L can't figure where they have
any right to expense money" Crolic
came back strong in ripping finish
got the referee to declare that he had
s31 so coming to him. But the south
ern manager talked him out Of this de-
cision and now the case is under adj
visement. When Crolie had finished
with Palmer Manager Ward of the
Santa Barbara team took him on in
the windup. This was somewhat short,
but a merry one while it lasted. Wards
claim against the southerner for $120
and some odd dollars also was laid on
the shelf for further consideration. At
ter President Lelande had decided to
hold up these cases the disbanding of
the league was done in jig time. The
treasury money belonging to Santa
Ana, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino
and Pasadena was withheld until final
settlement of their disputes. The other
teams were allowed $46.25 each. And
the Winter league is an organization
Of the past,
Claude Allen, while playing at Ell
Centre, became a benedict, having
married Miss V. Myers. Allen met his
wife at an entertainment and dance
given by the Redondo club while he
was connected with that team in the
Southern State league.
Red Devereaux, the new captain
manager of the Bakersfield ball team,
before leaving for the north, said:
''They all want to go to Bakersfield.
I'll bet had seventy-five applications
for places on the club. Fifteen play
ers tried to get on the team, but l
can't use them ALL" The biggest plum
that Devereaux hopes to land is
