CITRUS STARS IS 'FREAK CLUB Team Comprising Players Representing All Trades and Cities. By EK.NEST A. PHILLIPS The Citrus Belt Stars baseball club, recently organized, perhaps involves the lnrgest territory of any independent ilub throughout this hemisphere. Noi only does the club cover vast wres ol valuable and invaluable soil, but th" team Is composed of players representing all vocations known to the human race. The teanr In dimensions takes In the villages and counties, In fact it extends from Kontana to the hillside and well known village of Red-lands.

The players range all the way from, heard choppers to real ball players, with a sprinkling of other, species of animals utrunif alornr the line. BUT lorsh and Hlenie Schmidt on- Htltute the famous Collins-Weaver key- 'stone combination and they represent the- prospering- and striving town ol This little village4 is known throughout the country for its product of grapefruit and sweet potatoes. Coming in closer to this city we find that Finley upholds Colton. In that Colton Is fastly reaching a state where l.t Is on the verge of toeing- annexed by this clty special mention should be tnado of the Hub City. Between this City and Colton Urblta Springs Is situated, and Elmer Hansen, a real ball player, is the sole representative of that amusement In that real 'hall players, are a minus quantity round here, Urbita Springs Is not to be left out.

Eddie Tock, Roy Poole and. George Smith are the only fullblooded specicB of animal life bred In Kan Bernardino. Out at Harlem Sprlnfes 3ussie Boesch is considered the highbrow citizen, Gus. ele's oid man pays taxes on one of the most excellent' salt grass plantations this of the rockies, and special mention is made of the fact. Bedlaudf Thr While traveling around the.

valley Ttedlands should not be omitted. In Itex AVTilUerrtore and Rodr Vineyard that city produces two important cogs of the Citrus Belt Baseball machine. Were these two gentlemen to be slighted, the machine would resetrable a jitney wagon possessing a broken spinal column. Charley Horton' and Harry Hudson are the sole products of Riverside. That city is coming fast and their individuals of the baseball world should rmt be passed without being- tendered due consideration.

in covering1 all these villages It is immediately seen that the Stars club covers and involves a lare section of the landscape situated west of the Pacifij salt water swamp. A little description of the various lines of employment followed by the players 'Will produce the various lines Of business transacted throughout the valley. Manager llike Firebaugb is a barber tiy trado, although his ancestors and forefathers possessed a desire that their son arise into this world as a future president or some high official connected with the White shack. Being president of these United States did not meet th approval of Mick and he set cut to choose his own profession. At present there is no one located in this city who has it on Mike when it comes to cropping- a man's paint, brush or scraping oft his crop of devil grass.

Itoy Poole, as is well known, is the leading1 grain dealer this side' of Los Angeles. For these mnny yearj Roy haq leen disposing- of almost everything from insect powder to diamond coal They broke a. new one on Roy the other day and for the benefit of those who have not inhaled the tale a little space will be donated for its publication. Roy was seated in the tilting chair, puffing away on his, highly polished fur mice, when someone rung up his establishment and ordered a large nuantlty of hay, grain, caked salt ana other victuals that are supposed to add endurance to a horse's physiquei After Poplo had consumed all the order sheets inside the buHdimsf, he iinally discovered sudden change in the atmosphere and asked whomr the articles were for. "Horses," carri'3 back the immediate reply, and Roy proceeded to relieve his system: of an oath calculated to sweep an entire town oft" the globe.

Dorsch, and Boesch are full-fledged farmers. Feeding the chickens, lyep, the ibarnynrd speclefj milking cows and sloppln'. porkers is Uie main objoct of their lives. Whittemore finds it his duty to scatter nmudse Pots throughout his dad's orange yai-d when the frost begins to decorate the landscape, and ibetween tim attends the RedUuids University, as does Vineyard. Teck manages to get i)y.

as an automobile mechanic, and according--to those who have had their steam rollers doctored by Ed, he Is quite some wielder of the wrenches and jack Planes. Finley runs the head offices pt the Pacific Fruit Express, an enterprlsin? establishment located in Colton. Just what Hansen does Is not known to the public, but he may often be seen hanging over Fritz Authier's cigar counters as a salesman when Fredrich decides to take a day's rest. After thinking it over, it appears as If no ball 'club can equal the Citrus Belt Stars when it conies to covering all trades and at the same time take in soil of every description.
