SPORTING GOSSIP OF 1 THE PLAYERS IN THE PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 10. John Henry Hans Wares, u prod uct of Zancsvillo, is a hero in the oyes of the fans. In tho hour of need the Liliputian artists rapped one on tbo beak and tie pill sizzled against the low fieF3 boards. Mur phy, tho Angeles' outfielder, sot a despcrato pace to pacturo tho bull, but the drive hit tbe fence cro Mur phy could reach tbe spot, and bound ed back a few feet. Two Oakland, runners crossed the tapo on (his swat and tho disgruntled Oakland bugd were all cheered up. All during the matinee, Wares waa spanking the borsehide and most of his efforts roamed past tho fielder. In the fifth tho ball took a bad spot, bound ed over Delmas' domo and tho little fellow secured a slab. In Thursday's game Wares walloped out threo lus cious drives and came back yester day with five. Guess this isn't con necting! The local fans will bo entertained by the Seals and Senators next week. Graham's crew have struck a losing streak and the pitchors are faring badly. At Los Angeles tho Hooli gans will tncklo Dillon's crow for a series of soven games. Wolvorton mil take his charges to Portland to open tho northern season. Whon Mosor has his curvo ball working it is n difficult shoot to solve. Moscr works on tho style of Jim Wiggs, nnd ho puts tremendous force on bis break. Ho throws most ly with a down-hand motion. His pitching was in contrast to that of Tozer, who relied mainly on under hand ball. Walter McCredie has shipped Kratzburg to tho Stockton club of tho California Stato lenguo for more seasoning. McCrcdio has a full staff in Garrett, Stcen, Krnpp, Seaton and Ryan. 'Kratzburg pitched yesterday for tho Slough City tribo and ho defeated San Jose by tho scoro of 1 to 0. Ho allowed but four hits. Frank Enstloy is a happy mortal these days. Aftor weeks of wonry waiting Frank's arm has rounded to form and tho McKoosport honvor ox pects to work noxt week against tho Senators. Frank snapped a brissell in his socket and for tho past fow days ho has beon treated by a spe cialist in Oakland. Agnow, tho young Santa Clara heavor, is to bo given n try-out by tho Angols. This pitchor has a world of ability and many nro pro dieting a future for him in tho ranks of organized baseball. For continunl crabbing, McGroovy assessed Catcher Orendorff with n $5 fino. This silenced him. Harkins pitched the tenth for the Oaks. Daloy, the first man to face hirri, responded with a drive to loft Don't think just because those old clothes of yours nrc nil grensy and dirty that you have to go and buy new ones.
