10 THE CALL'S SPORTS NEWS SEAL SQUAD LINES UP FOR WORK ON MONDAY John I. Taylor Will Take Three Fast California Players East With Him William J. Slattery The 1909 San Francisco baseball squad will get into action for the first time this year bright and early next Monday morning at the Valencia street lot. Manager Danny Long decided upon this yesterday afternoon and so noti fied Captain Mohler, who is spending the winter in Los Angeles. Long ex pects that he will have most of his men on the job by that time, but even if only half of them show up he is de termined that he will put the boys over the jumps and let them limber up a bit. As announced several days ago, Cap tain Mohler will arrive Sunday morn ing to talk the matter over with Long, lie is very anxious to get a line on his men before they go against the Chicago White Sox in the first real ball game of the season. If Mohler had his own way the boys would have been out working every day for the last week, but the grounds are not in shape yet, and besides Long believes tnai Ins squad will iiavt* ample \u25a0 time to" round Into shape betore tne opening Uay of the season rolls around. claiidf Berry, rMiein.-r ivtiijtu, Oscar Jones and the others who are doing btunis down in Imperial valley. Mexico, are expected to arrive with Moliler ii not a aay or two sooner. They a.re all in fair snape, having been playing the game in The south all winter. The rest of the Seal squad has been notified to be on hand Moiiuay morning and it is likely that most of them win put in an appearance. The White Sox will leave Chicago on their special train tomorrow night. It was at first expected that they would arrive here in time to play tue Seals Monday atternoon, but there is no chance for this, bo the fans will be compelled to wait until Tuesday before seeing Comiskey s world iumous band of tossers in action. The party probably will be the largest taut ever took a. baseball train ing trip. In all there will be some t»0 odd players, not including the train ers and officers of the club, which will also make the trip. Kleven future Oaklanaers as well as three or tour Seals to be are expected on the train, which will be met by Long. President Ewiny: and a big local party. ; Even if the weather fails to hold off in the meantime. Long is not a bit fearful lest the boys will be able to play. The new canvas on the diamond works like the proverbial onarm. It was tried out again on Tuesaay night and found to be all that was said for it. Postponed games will be things of the distant past this season, unless tome body steals the diamond raincoat. -" Ralph Willis, the popular pitcher of last year's Seal squn.d, is still holding off and it is very likely tnat he will •not be on the job this time. Willis owns a very profitable cigar stand in Market street and he also has several fat offers to play independent ball with various suburban teams during the Bfca«on. He has not yet made up his mind 'what he shall do. Manager Charley Graham of the Sac ramento club is in the city and yester \u25a0day he and President Kwing had a long talk about the outlook la the capital City. Each seemed satisfied with every thing and, according to Graham, the Sacramento team will be in the gamo with a dash this time. He declares that the fans are stronger there now \u25a0than they ever were. "I have not yet completed my team,"" .said Graham last night, "but I will have the job past me in a few days more, I have t\v-_ more pitchers com ing—«-both of them cracks, too. Each has had some experience in the big league and is fast enough for any •ininor organization in the country. I expect- that they will be on the ground within two weeks." • John I. Taylor, president of the Bos ton American league team, will start for Hot Springs, Ark., Sunday morn ing, and v.ith. him will be four men from the coast and state leagues, whom he picked up daring the season. These are Babe Danzig, the big Portland first baseman; Harry Wolters, the San Jose pitcher; Frank Arrellanes, also from the. Garden City, and Harry Hooper, the speedy outfielder of last year's Sacramento club. Taylor closed with Wolters yester day afternoon and the southpaw agreed to beat it east without further delay. The party goes direct to Hot Springs, where the Bostonians will train this spring. Taylor was to have left here several days ago, but he stayed over in order to make sure of signing Wolters. The native sons will be strong on the Boston lineup with Wolters, Arrel lanes and Hooper. The second named more than held this own in the big league during the latter part of last season, and was given a good raise in salary. Taylor, as well as all the fans feels that both Hooper and Wolter« will surely make the team If thes.e lads do well the Golden state will hold a proud position in the big brush, for the great Chicago Cubs boasts two Californians — Frank Chance, the king of the captains and leaders, and Ovie Overall, one of the greatest pitchers in the- business. It's "too bad we can't keep some of them at home. We need them badly enough, as everybody knows. Thus far the State, league has made no further noise about breaking into either Han Francisco or' Portland though Manager Cy Moreing of Stock ton is still dividing his time bettveen the two cities, apparently keeping busy with some sort of a proposition. It is understood that Moreing had all but closed a deal yesterday for the acquisi tion of an Oakland site, but no official announcement was made from State league headquarters. In the event that Moreing fails to land a suitable playing fi>ld in Oak land rumor has it that he will com promise by remaining in Alameda and playing his dates on the same field where the league he'd- forth last year. At all events, Moreing will have to show a lot of speed. ; • Golfers Battle on Links For Prize Gups [Special Dispatch lo The Call) CORONADO, Feb. 24.— Ten men took part in the sixth competition over the 18 holes medal play this afternoon for the cup presented by Alvin 13..

S^J @ i DMI¥ES BUT Rheumatism is in reaiityan internal inflammation— a diseased condition of the blood cells "which supply the'nourishment and'strength necessary to sus- tain'bur bodies. : Uric acid, an irritating-, inflammatory accumulation, gets into the circulation because of phj-sical irregularities, and ' then instead of nourishing \and invigorating the body, the. blood irritates and inflames the different nerves, tissues, muscles and joints, because ol its impure, acrid cdfidition. The pains and aches and other disagreeable and dangerous symp- toms of Rheumatism can never be permanently cured until every particle of the cause is driven from the blood. S. S. S. does this because it is a perfect blood 'purifier. It goes down to the very bottom of the trouble, purifies and cieanses nthe circulation,'- invigorates the blood," and completely drives Rheu- matism" from the system. Plasters, liniments, soothing lotions, etc , may be used for the temporary relief and comfort they bring, but a cure cannot be effected until' S.! S.S.has removed the cause.'.

Attempt That", courageous band of Olympic clubmen which, gamely started out for the .Yosemlte valley last Sunday morn ing after having been stalled by a landslide the previous week returned trom ' its pilgrimage yesterday morn ing, each fagged : and tired from the strenuous exertions of the trip, but each- bubbling over with vim and life and : ready to take another chance when opportunity offers. The party com prised about 100. and" every, man of them was glad that he went. ' The boys, led- by Dr. Leo McMahan, started out a week ago last Friday, but when within a few miles of El Portal the train was delayed by a landslide. A few of the more reckless members of the party walked Into the valley, but the others decided that the road back to San Francisco looked bet ter to them. When they arrived they were joshed and furnished lots of food for fun on the line and but few took them seriously when they announced that they would start again within a week. ' X PARTY WELL- PREPARED . There was neither landslides nor scarcity, of food this time. Everybody went well prepared to battle against hunger, thirst and famine in case of ill railway luck. But these, precautions were unnecessary. Everything went like cjockwork. The train was on time, the food supply was more than abundant and the pilgrims were all triune and hopeful. Things could not have broken better under any circum stances. The clubmen voted It the greatest outing ever given b« the winged "O." There was nothing lacking to make ft the grand sucrejs that they were all pulling for. They reached th« valley on time. and found everything In readi ness for them. It did not make any difference if the ground was sr.ow cov ered and the thermometer waa away 4own to the limit. The athletes saw everything that was to be seen. They walked, climbet! the mountains, put on the snow shoes, played. Ice hockey and fell -for every game which the natives proposed. The experience was novel to most of them and "very trying to the majority, but each man went through with his part well, so everybody was even when getaway time was at hand. DIPSEAS' LO.VG TRAMP . The Dlpsea ; Indians, that famous tramping branch of the club, led by the ever ready. Tim Fltzpatrick. left the others In the train near El Portal ami tramped right Into the valley. It was an awful walk, but the boys got away with It. Some of them are still suffer ing from aching feet and other trivial complaints, but they made good and are satisfied. • The party was the center of attrac tion, at. tne club last night, and it birts fair to arouse the envy of every other winged "O" wearer who failed to make the trip. It is likely that a similar excursion ta some other famous point of interest will be planned shortly, ami It is safe to say ' that there will be twice, as many applications next time. | AMATEUR ATHLETICS j : The Gladiator basket ball team wonld tike to «nwt any team ot the 130 pound class, cuuntry or city, games- to be played Saturday afternoons.
