oh, you high school and college
PLAYERS! Hockey officer Jeems
" Reinhard is after you with the
schoolmaster's club again this year,
and beware, for all the best material
that can be found among the teachers
in the city school department has been
secured by this learned man of read1n !,
writin an 'ritchmetic. At a meeting
of the club members yesterday after
noon at 210 Lissner building ]. c. Rein
hard was elected captain and manager
for the season of 1910. Next Saturday
this team tries conclusions with the
Mavericks on the Harvard field, and
Saturday, February 5, with the Har-
ward military school team on its field.
Manager Reinhard says his team is
open for dates with any college or high
school club and that he can be reached
through The Herald or at us Security
building Last season this nine won
so per cent of the games played.
Among the fast teams which were de-
feated were the Occidental college, u.
C. c., U. S. C. law school, Polytechnic,
Los Angeles Compton, South Pasadena
and Hollywood high schools and the
bankers and playground No. ?. The
only college that got the goat of the
schoolmasters was Pomona college,
winning by small margin. Following

tieth Street school; Ralph Noble, Los
Angeles high school, and Edward Diet
rich of the playground physical depart

Manager Frank Abbott of the Direc-
tories baseball club certainly is develop
ing one of the best amateur teams in
Los Angeles. Hardly any comment
need be made of Catcher (Dutch) Hoff-
man. He is the hitting player on the
club and is good in sending the ball to
the middle station.
Pitcher Grover Schmidt of the Direc-
tory nine is there with a perfect per-
centage, having won all four games
pitched so far this season. He has a
percentage of .45O and has the credit
of making five hits out of eleven times
at bat.
Second Baseman William Lee is q
wonder, although no larger than a pea
nut. He also is a heavy hitter. Last
Sunday at Santa Paula, with Hoffman
on one of the bags, he made mighty
swat and sent the horsehide over the
fence, bringing in both runs for his
team
There is a possibility of the Directory
and another Los Angeles nine entering
the league which is about to be
launched in Ventura county. Any man
ager desiring information on this sub
ject should call on George M. Ward at
20 Lissner building.
Left Fielder Richard Tate Of the same
nine is a good hitter, fast in his base
running and a swift fielder. Joe La
vine, utility backstop, is another fast
man on the Directory club.
Frank Abbott is the champion show
off grandstand kid of the team. always
being there with the twostep after pull
ing down a hard one off Hoffman's
mitt
With the breaking up of the Winter
league comes the report that the Salt
Lake team has disbanded for the sea-
son. But this does not signify that
Manager Mitchell has been relegated
to the class occupied by has been"
magnates. He still is in the game and
if not at the head of bunch of heav-
ers at present it will not be long be-
fore he again will be the guiding hand
to the aspirations of some club. When
announcing the breakup of the rail-
readers last evening Mitchell said:
1.-THE Salt Lake team has disbanded
for this season. Next year we Will be
in the game again stronger than ever. =
This kind of talk should sound good
to the local fans, as it is very evil
dent that next winter will be another
hummer for the national game.
Another amateur in Southern Cali
fornia ball ranks is slated for higher
berth in John Koerner, one OF Poly
technics baseball and basketball stars,
who has an offer from one of the CLUBS
