Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-20

Reuben Waddell. who graduated
from Los Angeles to the big brush
wants to come back and will not get
the chance. Amt it awful? Robert
Lee Hedges, owner of the st. Louis
Browns, wired Hogan yesterday that
he had suspended Waddell again ana
would like to trade him to Vernon for
Fisher, sight unseen. Hedges said that
Waddell wanted to come back to dear
old Los and that his arm was stlll
good. Hogan says that he does not
need Rube, and he does not feel ike
parting with a crackajaek like Fisher
for a worn out has like the er-
rattle slabster Hogan is of the opinion
that Hit, carson, Hensling, W1llett,
breckenridge and Schafer will be able
to keep the Villagers in the hunt for
the rag and that a speedy first base
man of the Fisher type is hard to find.
Fisher will get back his batting eye
soon and then he will be the sensation
of the league, as he outclasses all other
first basemen in the league in heldlnS
his position. He lost his batting eye
about a month ago, after starting off
like vildfre, but Is sure to recover 1t
after a good rest.
McCredie yesterday closed negotia-
tions with Hogan for the purchase OF
Martinke, the regular NllaSer rlght
fielder, and papers will be signed TO-DAY
whereby Marty will be transferred 10
the northwestern city. When right
Marty is one of the best stickers in the
league, but he seems to have slumped
with all the others and was bit SLOW
in coming back. For that reason Ho-
gan benched him for rest, hoping ne
would regain his clouting aim. NC
Credie says that he will play Martlnke
in right field, and that he Will retire
from the game, playing only n emer-
gences. McCrede has played the game
for the last fourteen years and says ne
is entitled to rest. For that reason
he cabbaged onto Martinke because he
believes Marty will be stronger with
the willow and will field the position
in first-class style Martinke will go
north with the team tonight.
McCredie exhibited an awful DISPOSE
tion all through the game yesterday
afternoon and had a run in with Van
Haltren two or three times, being or
dered to take his seat on each occa-
sion. When Roy Brashear reached out
and fouled a wide one McCredie want
ed him called out for stepping over
the plate and was oVerruled. lie tnei
walked to the press box and mace d
statement of his reasons for desiring
to protect the game, the principal rea-
son urged being that he considered
Hmm Van a porch climber and shell
operator and a few other things that
would not look we'll in print. AS no
score was registered in that inning Nc
probably got over his crouch and re-
considered his idea of protecting the
game. He and Fisher were saying
nasty things to the umpres al after t,l
noon i'm a bulldozing spirit, but the
umns had enough nerve to handle them
effectively and refused to be bullied.
Vernon and Portland will be the only
Coast league teams to be busy today
this pair hooking up t the Chutes In
the final game of their series. With
Vernon only five points behind Oakland
for the league leadership, it can go to
the front by winning this afternoon,
that victory making them lead Oakland
bv one point. With the game today
there will be no break or idle days this
week on the local diamonds, as Los An
geles comes home tonight for four
weeks stand, opening tomorrow after
noon with Oakland. Vernon goes 10
Frisco for a week and Portland jour
news to Sacramento. Sacramento comes
south next week, Frisco follows week
later and then Vernon comes back to
play the Angels one week. Vernon
will play Frisco one week and then go
to Portland for a two weeks stand.
The attendance at ball games on local
league diamonds of late has been some
thing like what the clubs deserve as
reward for the great exhibitions they
have been putting up every day. The
morning crowd at Vernon saw twelve
fine innings of classy ball that ended
in a draw when the time limit eX-
pired, and then went out to the Chutes
in the afternoon and saw the home
team win a desperate battle in fifteen
innings Twenty-seven innings for half
a dollar should satisfy the most exact
ing, especially when the home team
emerges from the fray with clean
sheet. Poor coaching in the morning
game alone prevented the Villagers
from taking a double header.
Cap Dillon is bringing back greatly
improved team to that which he took
away with him a month ago. Thorsen
finally has rounded into form and yes
terday delighted the fans by pitching
another high class game. With THOR
