" +THE DAILY ‘ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA PAGE THREE SEALS GO 10 TOP. IN COAST LEAGUE BY 10-RUNINNING By BILL BECKER San Francisco’s snappy Seals, re- bounding like an overdrawn check, are atop the Coast League heap again today. The Seals used a 10-run second inning to club Los Angeles, 13-3, last night and retake the lead from their crossbay rivals, the Oak- land Oaks. ‘'he Oaks fell before Hollywood, 17-4, to drop a half game behind San Francisco. It was the eighth victory in nine starts for the Seals, on the ram- page since their fall from grace a fortnight ago. Hfl‘l‘ywow pounded Jack Salve- son, the Oak loser, and two other twirlers for 16 hits—led by Al Libke's ‘double and three singles. Herman Reich’s long homer with two on and two out in the last of the ninth gave Portland an 8-5 decision over Seattle. Herb Karpel was (e victim. Beaver reliefer Bill Fleming picked up the win. Hillis Layne hit a Seattle round-tripper. Sacramento spewed 19 base hits Nfour by Fizz White—all over Lane Field to defeat San Diego, 7 to 3.

NEW YORK, July 28—®-—Joe Tinker died yesterday, one of the last survivors of what may have ceen the greatest baseball team of all . . . We never saw those old Cubs play, kut from what we've heard we'd pick Tinker-Evers-Chance-Steinfeldt in- field and Schulte-Scheckard-Hot- man outfield and Kling-Overall- Brown-Pfeister-Reulbach battery combination over any team you could name. They were scrappers—against the opposition and among themselves— and they won four pennants in five years. . ..... one version of the fa- mous Tinker-Evers “feud” was that both were so intent that they'd get|to 13 straight games by blanking Leslie of Pelican are in town and| to fighting every time they spoke and it was Chance, the manager, wko ordered them not to talk to each other except to shout orders during a play. MATTY'S COUSIN Tinker was noted for has ability to hit Christy Mathewson, ace pit- cher of the hated Giants, and he couldn’t understand why his team- mates had trouble with “Big Six.” Statistician Ernie Lanigan figured fthat in his first year in the Majors Joe hit Matty for a .375 average and in 1908, when the Cubs and Giants had to play off for the pennant, that average was .421 It was Joe who broke up that playoff game by hitting Matty for a triple that started Chicago's winning rally. ——.e— - FIGHT DOPE Fights pulled off last night re- sulted as follows: Los Angeles—Enrique Bolanos 136 Mexico City, stopped Eddie !Giosa, 138, Philadelphia, 7.
