TICKLED TO SHOW YOU Diper ¢ Toft Ine 1109 SECOND AVE, THE SPORTING GOQ0S STORE Salt Lake City Oakland Portland Sacramen Seattle Tumors from the South that Charley Pick, Chicago Cub infielder, will soon join the Acorns, there is little chance that Pick will be allowed to get out of the big circuit with the present 25- player limit and the closeness of the major league races, if he is half the player he has been advertised to be. Seattle, with a team of cripples, Opens today in San Francisco on its second invasion of Ewing park this year. San Francisco should take every game on the program, accord- ing to the dope, but with the Seattle crew playing fighting baseball, local fans will put their lucre on the -Si- washes to give the Seals a real battle at least. SEATTLE NEEDS . i HELP BADLY The Seattle ball crew is in no con- dition to play Coast league ball. The club needs a first baseman, an out- flelder and a couple of pitchers. Jimmy Walsh, who can play first base creditably, is needed in the out- field. Jack Knight, regular first sacker, will be out of the game for a long time. He was spiked in Satur- day's game with the Angels. Jack Roche, let out by Oakland, may be signed by Clymer in the South. He would help out temporarily at least. If Clymer can land a fair outfielder the club will be aided materially. Bigbee, who is needed on the hill, is playing right field. He will have to hold down that station until Walsh can be shifted to the outfield. Catcher Ed Sweeney is ready for the fray and will be back in the game this week. He will help the club con- siderably, because big Ed is hitting the ball hard and he is a smart re- ceiver. Clymer will have a hard time win- ning any games on the trip, but after j seeing his club in action here for two |weeks against San Francisco and Angels it will take a lot of evidence to convince Seattle fans that the boys are not giving their best -at least. YOUNG MOUND PHENOM HURLS NO-HIT GAME Hank Cunningham, former West Seattle high school twirler, pitched a no-hit, norun game yesterday against the Iron Moulders. He al- lowed only four men to reach first base, three thru errors and one by a walk. The Steel Workers won, 5-0.

He started on the Coast in 1902 and after six years there went to the Braves and later to Chi- cago and Washington.

He is 37 years old. 65) S* BY BETTY BROWN ‘The Fortune Teller hit it right! ‘Member how I told you a week before the fight about the spiritual ist-palmiat lady who predicted Demp- sey's success in the championship fight? I sald she was a star performer— and sure enough, in this case her prophecies were fulfilied——tho Jack got a head start on Fate and won in the third—instead of fiddling along until the eighth as predicted! But—pleased as I am to have dis- covered a true prophetess—I am somewhat upset by receiving a num- ber of “black hand” letters in every mail lately. All the ladies who read the sport Page are possessed to know the fu- ture via the Dempsey seer! I'm get- ting a fine collection of ladylike palms impressed in ink—and I ask you, ladies—please—please desist, lay off—and quit! The identity of the seeress who read the Dempsey hand I must keep secret. I promised—and a secret it must remain. Sorry—but her name and address can not be furnished in these col- umns—nor by private mail. I'm a busy woman.

Club own- ers and players of the two major leagues arq now considering a new plan, which will be announced within | commission. The rival leagues differ as to what is the proper division for | the players, but they are a unit in de- | ciding to return to the higher sion prices that prevailed prior to the war, The American league officials favor a return to the former sharing, in which the players of the two pennant winning clubs received 60 per cent of the gross receipts of the first four games, after deducting 10 per cent for the national corhmission. The National league officials favor a curtaiiment of the share of the members of the competing clubs. The result will probably be a compromise. Last year the first four clubs in Jeach league | the players’ pool. The pian, which is likely to meet the approval of the club owners and players of both Iqagues, provides that | the players’ pool of 60 per cent of the | first four games is to be divided upon ja percentage basis among the first three teams in the two majors, the pennant winners to receive 60 per cent to be divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the losers, the second place teams to divide 25 and the third 15 per cent equally.
