1919-7-27 (Fresno) Team commentary.
1919-9-07 (Fresno) The Hanford Pippins will play the Merced Bears.
1919-10-01 (SF Examiner) George Gillespie, Hanford outfielder, was signed by the Oakland Oaks on the recommendation of Cliff McCarl of the Presidio Y.M.C.A.
1919-12-04 (Lemoore) League was a success - 1920 will be even grander.

Gives league schedule.
1919-6-15 (Visalia Times-Delta)
Dinuba is the best team in the league. "Dinuba has been playing steadily for three months and have lost but two games this year."
1919-6-15 (Visalia Daily Times) "Dinuba has a creditable ball park, centrally located, and a grandstand seating at least 600."
Jones showed a lot of stuff and plenty of control for Visalia, "and at all times worried the Dinuba players while on bases."
1919-6-22 (Hanford Kings County Sentinel) Hanford 10, Shell 4.
1919-6-22 (Hanford Sentinel) Small crowd. Zinke ran the bases better than he pitched. "The tall local heaver, was apparently wore out from the heat, and his speed did not last."
Hanford made fewer earned runs - 3- than Shell - 4- but Shell made 9 errors.
1919-6-29 (Hanford Sentinel) McCaslin, aka Caddy, hurt his arm in outfield - when called in to pitch did not do well. The vaunted Morton was terribly wild. Zinke was mediocre.
McCaslin's spitter did not work.
Bad base running by Zinke spoiled any lingering chance Hanford had at victory.
"This poor play and the poor pitching spoiled what might have been a good ball game, as both players and fans of Hanford and Dinuba were in very 'hostile' moods, and no end of enthusiasm reigned."
Clare knocked ball over short Dinuba fence for two bases.
1919-7-06 (Visalia Daily Times) Hanford Pippins 3, Visalia Pirates 2. Box + standings + play by play. 1121 ATT.
1919-7-06 (Visalia) Hanford Pippins 3, Visalia Pirates 2. Box + standings. 1100 ATT.
1919-7-13 (Visalia Daily Times)
1919-8-10 (Lemoore) Lemoore 10, Dinuba 9. Mediocre boxes. Final standings.
1919-8-17 (Lemoore) Lemoore 5, Hanford 4. Decent box. 1350 ATT.
1919-8-24 (Lemoore) "Grand-fathers will tell their grand sons of the famous Cub machine of 1919 who fought their way to a pennant and put Lemoore before the eyes of all California.
1919-8-24 (Contin.) Lemoore Cubs 2, Hanford Pippins 1. Cubs are champions. 1680 ATT.
1919-8-24 (Hanford) Hanford had the pennant within its grasp but Lemoore snatched it at the end. At least the two best teams of Central California in 1919 were both from Kings County.
Lemoore beat Hanford seven times during the season.
Play by play.
Continued on next page.
Elliott, Hanford first baseman, called all sorts of strange names.
1919-9-28 (Lemoore) The Cubs beat the boastful Bears - are now champions "from the Techappi on the south to the Stockton channel on the north."
