SON THIS AFTERNOON
TT' Til.
Hen Berry Gets Telegram from Danny Long, Assuring Him That
Team No. 2 Made Proper Connections and Will Be on Hand
. for Belated Opening Contest— Will Get First Oppor
tunity of Looking Over Their Oldtime Favorites, as
Every Player on Angelic Payroll Will Be in Uni
form and Each Probably Will Take Part in
the Game During Some Stage of It
JAY DAVIDSON
BASEBALL crank? may lay Aside all fear and doubt regarding the game
this afternoon between the White Sox Yannlgans and the Angel band, as
Hen Berry received a telegram last evening from Danny Dong telling him
ln the following words that he may depend upon the So X getting here: "Have
arranged for special train from Davis to Tracy. You can count positively
Ipn White Sod reaching Dos Angeles tomorrow morning." This means that
local fans will have the opportunity this afternoon of seeing the opening game
lietween the Angels and White Son and will have their flrst chance to see
Iho new players in action. It will be sort of a. reunion day between the
Angels, Sox and local fans, all being well acquainted by this time, and
Berry Is figuring on a capacity crowd. The game will he called promptly
at 2:30 o'clock, and Umpire Fenney, one of the Coast league regulars, will
officiate with the Indicator.
Every man who is on the regular and extra payroll of the Angel band will be
ln uniform this afternoon and every man probably will have a chance to
Show himself in action some stage of the game. The team that Cap Dillon
will drag on the field to start hostilities will line up as follows, this being
the batting order as announced last night: Daley, center field; Bernard, right
field; Murphy, left field; Howard, second base; Delmas. ' shortstop; Smith,
third base; Gill, first base; Smith and Grindlo, catchers; Tozer, Nagle and
Urlswalter, pitchers. The Sox lineup and batting order will be as follows:
Roland Barrows, center field; Fred Patent, left field; Willis Cole, second
base; Edgar Hahn, right field; Warren Gill, brother of the Angel first base
man, first base; Royal Shaw, third base; Dee Tannehill, shortstop; Raymond
Ryan and Fred Payne, catchers; Doc White, Irving Young, Victor Holm and
John Schmirlor, pitchers.
Angels Expect to Trim Visitors
Berry and Dillon are very confident
that the Angels will trim tills yannt
gan bunch, both Maying that the Angels
have been doing such excellent work
since reporting day that they have
rounded into splendid condition and
while not yet up to mldseason form.
. are going at such a fast rata in prac
tice-that the game will be the finish
ing touch to their condition and they
will play classy ball, from the start.
The Sox bunch that will be on the
field this afternoon includes a few .of
the regulars aa well as nearly all the
youngsters who aro being tried out for
faster company than they have been
accustomed to playing in. Notwith
standing that they are big leaguers
Berry and Dillon say they will take
the majority of games played during
the spring training series and that the
regular team, when it comes, will fare
little better. '
The rivalry between the Angels and
Vernons becomes more Intense every
hour and when opening day finally
rolls around, if this rivalry does not
slow down a bit, the officials of the
two clubs will hardly be able to rec
ognize one another on the street.
Jlaier lias been bantering Berry for
some evidence of his confidence in the
ability of the Angels to finish ahead
of the Vernona, and it is feared that
they have secretly agreed to bet some
thing like the Berry oil fields against
the Maier brewery on ibis result.
Berry says that he never saw sic a
simpleton bunch as the Vernon outfit
1;i all his life and positively asserted
last night that he could scud his yan
nlgan outfit against the Vernone and
beat them and that a half team of
Angels would be sufficient to take all
the conceit out of the cellar cham
pions.
Angels Are Materially Strengthened
One Important fact regarding the
Angels is being overlooked by some
of the fans. While It la true that a
majority of the players are holdovers
from last season, there are some new
faces on the team and the hole bunch,
l'cr once, is in the best of health and
condition. Berry will have no worries
at the beginning of 'hi Hag race, as
has been the case very year that he
has had the team, aid the Angel man
agement will not be embarrassed with
several of its star players In the hos
pital with ailments and Injuries. Ev
ery player It showing up surprisingly
well and is dead anxious for the sea
son to open. Last season sickness and
Injuries i rippled the team so severely
thai ii is a wonder it finished outside
the basemen position. It is .1 classy
bunch, without doubt, and If it lias any
son of .hi even break this season it
should win the pennant.
While it will be almost the same
team that made such a poor showing
in the 1909 race, it will be quite an
Improved bunch; because all those who
were laid up bo much with sickness
and various hurts and sprains then are
back in thu game now as good as ihey
ever were, and witli good health and
freedom from injury thus far it' looks
like they will present an improved
lineup opening day and that tli'. team
is fully 50 per cent stronger than In
1909. With such an improvement the
team wili make a runaway race of 11,
providing it b'..s through thu season
without any unusual trouble. JJeiry
says lie hoodoo has been duly as
sassinated and buried and that the Hag
la already on the return trip to the
southland,
Some New Faces Will Be Shown
Bernard, tho old reliable center field
er,' who was out of the game last sea
son except when he was playing iii.
Vernon, is one great (lenient of
strength that the Angels will have this
season that it was minus last year, lie
will handle the right garden, and has
promised to play out the entire season,
which ho has not done heretofore in
Several years. His fielding, steady hit
ting and clever base running wil' be
a material help to the wholo team, and
aid greatly In its success. Both, who
Is cavorting around third base, taking
turns with Jud Smith, handles him
self like a real baseball player, his
ease and grace on the field equaling
his great work in handling everything
that gets into his territory. Murphy
is another most promising player, and
unless he slumps awfully in his work
left field is as safely guarded as it was
when Bubo Ellis was there. He also
is a dandy batter, which means a lot
for the un getting records of the Irani.
Other new players, Fflrrman behind
the bat, Crlgei D'lhi and Butler on
the slab, Gill at fir i and Callahan in
the outfield, are more than making
good. Pflrrman la a local hoy, but
lias been doing such high-class work
behind the timber In professional
ranks during the winter that he looks
like a fixture. Criger, of course, is a
Btar siabster from fast company and
phould he good enough to take regular
turna on the mound. Gill looks like the
real goods and handles himself in a
•
manner that indicates he Is ripe for
graduation into class AA company. All
things considered, there is little to be
desired In the way of Improvement at
the various stations. The catching de
partment represents about the only
weakness of the team, and as the
backstop* are all youngsters and do
ing nicely, It may be that another
Easterly or Orendoi will be developed
before the season Is very old.

LIGHTWEIGHT scrappers are get
ting more numerous around Los
Angeles than lias In molasses
time. A few wicks ago there was
only George Memsic and Frank Plc
ato here to draw upon for scraps in
this division. Now there are half a
dozen good ones here, while Wolgast
lias just gone east on a two months
vacation and theatrical tour. Joe
Woodman has brought Young Kenny
out here from Boston and he is a classy
fighter, although willing to take a
preliminary Job as his manner of In
troduction. Joe Levy has just arrived
from Chicago with Morrle Bloom, a
clever lightweight with a good record.
pommy Murphy, the Harlem wonder,
has been here for several clays and has
been encouraged to return in May, af
ter he has visited his family in the
east. Frank Pieato will be back at
home in a few days witli new scalps
dangling at his belt, and Lew Powell
ls asking for a date here this month.
Others uro on the way and some of
1.l to return In -May,
s visited his family in the
t. Frank Plcato will be hack- at
a- in a few days with new
dllng ai his belt, and Dew Dowcll
isking for a date here this month,
.I's are on the way and some of
in are bringing hank mils with
them to bet that the) can whip wol
gast. Mi -I 'art v will turn loose Mem
blc on some of them and show up a
portion of them, while one or two will
probably make good. Young Kenny
has whipped some classy lightweights
and should make good in his first ap
pearance, which will be March IT.
Bloom practically is unknown out this
way, but ids manager Is doing a lot
of sassy talking and may have a real
fighter in Ins charge. All of them will
he able to get engagements and any
way the fans will see a few new faces
in the ring for the next two months.
Manager McCarey, who has stayed
very close to his business for several
months; barring his trip to New York,
is thinking about going to Sierra Ma
dre again for a few days' rest. This
place is close enough to Arcadia for
him to run over and see l.anulurd at
workout every afternoon and this fact
Influences him to some extent* in his
desire to lake a rest at Sierra Madre.
Harry Comstoek, oartner with Mcl
Lawrence in the OaRWOOd stock ranch
and horses that run under this firm
name, has been visiting friends and
relatives here for several days. lie
will.return to Emeryville today. Their
horses are winning their share of tho
poises up north and the partners are
not losing many wagers these days.
Homer Perm, the handsomest pool
boy that ever worked at Santa Anita,
came in Friday from Juarez and will
leave today tor Frisco to play out the
string at Emeryville. Homer thinks
racing is firmly established at Juarez
and will go hack there next winter.
Jimmy .M. com in an. I his pal, Ralph
Sebree, have been trying to sell a ci
gar showcase for $3 for nearly a week
I and quit in disgust last night. They
| sat down and figured up how. much it
I had cost them to make the vain can
vass and found they had spent a few
cents more than $48. When they dis
covered this fact Jimmy rushed out-
side and smashed the showcase Into a
sorry wreck. Then Sebree made him
pay $1.50 for his interest In the thing.
George Swain, former jockey, ar
rived in town yesterday and will re
main for several weeks. He failed to
make Balerian win a race for him after
shipping her to Emeryville and as she
began to bleed regularly he turned her
out until the bush season opens. Ba
lerian won many races for him on the
hush circuit last summer and fall.
Walter Johnson and Arthur Sey
mour, the best three-cushion profes
sionals in the southwest, have decided
• in settle their individual supremacy
argument on the table in a match game
of 100 points, which will be played at
Jeffries & Kipper's parlors next Wed
nesday night. There should be some
classy playing in this match.

Yachting enthusiasts are much in
terested In the dory races to be sailed
this afternoon in Los Angeles outer
harbor under the auspices of the South
Coast Yacht club, which will decide the
championship of the dory' season ,of
1909-10. Not bnly will the champion
ship title bo determined, but also a
friendly light which has existed for
some time between Warren Wood,
owner and skipper of tho Merrily, and
Walter Folsom, owner and skipper of
the little Mischief 11.
Wood, winner of the championship
of 1908, also won the championship of
last season, and is generally conceded
to be the probable winner of' this
season. .
Wood was awarded the first; series
of this season after winning six
straight races. Owing to the high per
centage which he had the series was
called off and awarded to him. <■!• Al
though Folsom entered his boat, little
Mischief 11, he wlthdrow it after the
first four races had been sailed with
out winning once. ■ , r
Determined on defeating his "hated
rival," Wood, Folsom during the time
between the first and second series had 1
his boat overhauled and put in first
class condition.
Much to the surprise of Wood and,
probably, Folsom, for ho had not won
a race In a long time, the latter won
the first race of the second series. Wood
won the second race. .• Wood, thinking,
he had,been careless in the handling of
his boat, disregarded the suggestions
of his faithful crew to make changes
In the boat. As a consequence, „ Fol
som won the third and fourth i races, ;
without giving Wood a chance.v The
fifth and sixth races were divided be
tween them, and the last i two ■ races!
sailed in the series were won by Fol
som two weeks ago, making him'the
winner of the second series. , •■; V.. > JJ rj|
