BASEBALL fans are slowly learning
X how to get out to Vernon park
~ Friday afternoon and sunday
mornings to attend the Coast league
mes that are played there and the
attendance is picking up nicely But
it is not halr what it should be yet
Continuous baseball in Los Angeles
has proved a big success, as the daily
attendance is far better. on an average,
than at Frisco, but the class of bah
tnat is being served to the 1ans by the
Vernon ana Los Angeles teams bar
ring the usual and expected number OF
oftday exhibitions, entities the nome
clubs to liberal support. With the usual
dOuble-neaGer to De played TO-DAY, Doln
home teams playing, and the series
standing to in favor OF the NlllaS-
ers who now are in front OF the pen
nant procession, the fans should turn
out in large NUMBERS at botn games.
The morning game at Vernon is called
at 10:30 o'clock and the afternoon game
at the Chutes is called at 2:3O O'Clock.
| The Angels braced up bit yesIef-
day and ran away from the Villagers
and they must win both games today
or lose the series to the Cutups. The
Angels will make their last local ap-
pearance in four weeks this afternoon,
as they leave for another long north
ern trip tomorrow. ToZer and Bris-
walter, the sure winners of the Angel
tWirling staff, will do the slanting to-
day and Hensling and Braekenbrldge
or Willetts will be on the firing line
for the scrappy ones.
Jim Morley entertained party of
friends, including Baron Long and
Mellow Nordlinger, at dinner last
evening at the Ship hotel Venice, and
afterwards took them out on the upper
deck and showed them Mr.. Halley's
wonderful vagrant Baron will leave
for Frisco tonight, as business Is SO
good that he cannot stay away long at
a time. He said that he got longing
in his heart a few days ago to run
down to dear old Los and say hello
to the gang. AS he could not resist that
longing if he had wanted to and would
not have done so if he could he took
three DAYS off and came along. Baron
/ sure is one fine old kid and there IS
none more popular in local sporting
| circles.
Jim Gaines, who has made real
| fighter out of jim Cameron, is much
pleased at the marked Improvement
shown by his tail negro and says that
no fighter is barred in the future, Jack
| Burns, who is the only fighter who
ever whipped Cameron is the one
Gaines most wants, but he says that
he will not pick the opponent for Cam
eron, leaving that to McCarey. If the
negro continues to improve as he has
in the last six months, he will be hard
10 beat in a short time. He has
fought twelve battles and won eleven
of them. He is only q years old and
| is a physical freak in that he Is close
/ to seven feet high and has the long
est reach of any fighter in the ring.
| With improving science in the art of
| boxing. ne looks like a good possibility.
He is no longer a joke.
Jimmy Toman. the most capable UNI
pire on the coast at this time and prob
| ably the most popular Indicator man
! that ever served in league circles on
the coast. passed several days in Los
! Angeles the last week. While Finney
was giving some rank decisions in the
local Coast league games, the fans be-
| pan yelling for TOman. 1t is dirty
| shame, as we'll as an injustice TO the
fans, that one who is 50 capable ana
popular should have to work in class
| b league when others less capable are
holding Jobs in the Coast league. An
other umpire is needed, anyway as
Los Angeles and Vernon are as much
entitled to the double uumire system
as Frisco and oakland and Toman
would fit in beautifully for the extra
position,
Hen Berry will go north with his
Angels. visiting Bakersfield Jeff's train
ing camp and Frisco before going on
to Portland He will be gone fort
night or longer, as he wants to take
vacation and says he will stay until

probably will do.

weight championship working along
easily, and says that there will be a
new lightweight champion after
