LASSEN N spite of all rumors to the contrary, Bill Clymer will not lose his job as manager of the club when the Siwashes come home next week, according to Prexy Brewster, of Se- attle, who says he has made no statement regarding the possibility of Seattle having a new manager, altho what may happen dur- ing the next Brewster will month is problematical, and pledge nothing more. There will be a meeting of the club direc- rs Friday and some news may be forth- coming after that. session regarding the status of Seattle's pilot. One thing is sure, and that is, there is no reason in the world for the Seattle club to go off half-cocked because | the local outfit isn’t leading the league during their first session in Coast league ball for many years. The club has rotten ball on this trip and mistakes have been made concerned, but ‘there’s no use yelling all of the time, as a lot of breaks have been against the locals. “The players and Clymer must work together,” said Jimmy yesterday. “Reports that the men are not f seh with the manager have reached me, and this must ‘remedied, but there is no sense in thinking that Clymer will lose his job because of a few reports from nowhere.” Only Business Way _ This is the only busirféss way of | the situation.

One day recently Mails was pitching and Bill Guthrie was umpiring balls and strikes. The southpaw disagreed with one of Guthrie’s decisions, and he threw his glove in the air. “That will cost you $5!” yelled Guthrie. “The next time you feel , like throwing your glove in the air when I am around be sure that you have it tied on your wrist with a shoestring!” That night Mails purchased « shoestring. SALT LAKE MAKES HAY While Oakland is cutting into the lead of the Vernon Tigers and Los Angeles is having its troubles with Portland, not to forget San Fran- cisco's two reverses at the hands of Bill Rodgers’ troops, the Salt Lake club is making hay while Old Sol is on the job, Speaking of pepnant contenders, the Salt Lake Bees have | been wading thru the opposition like a bunch of -kids thru a strawberry shortcake, Today the Bees are just four games behind the first place. ‘They stand to win some more games from the Siwashes this week, be- cause they are harder to wallop than the summer fly in their own little cheese box. The Bees are not a good team, and what they win must be at home, FIRST PLACE AT STAKE If Vernon drops another game to Oakland today and the Angels spear the Beavers, the Killefers will go back into first place, Oakland has made the going mighty rough for the | Tigers, taking the first two games, | while the Angels beat “Red” Oldham, Portland's star flinger, yesterday. RUMLER STILL LEADS STICKERS Big Bill Rumler, the Salt Lake outfielder, is still leading the league in hitting. Rumler looked all to the merry when he played against the locals here, He took a special liking to left-handers here, and hit over -600 for the week on the local field. With Earl Sheely he is knocking in a lot of runs on the small Mormon park this season. Bill used to be a pinch hitter with the St. Louis Browns. As far as the world can see, Bill is all there in the field, at the bat and on the bases. WILLIAMS WILL BATTLE JOHNSTON FOR HONORS BOSTON, July 31.—R. Norris Williams, whose brilliant tennis made him the feature player in this year’s Longwood tournament, will face William Johnston, winner of the Longwood bow! in 1916, in the challenge contest today. Williams defeated Richard Harte in the final singles yesterday, ER-ER YES'R, y'SEE L NEED TH DOUGH! I GOTTA WIFE “THE SEATTLE STAR—THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1919. r vm Been HERE ON WEEK; BESIDES A NEW BRoOort SWEEPS WN Im ASKING For A Raise! CLEAN! CAN HE REPEAT WITH CINCINNATI? PAT GAVE TRE PHALLIES THEIR FIRST PENNANT BY ROBERT L. RIPLEY They called Pat Moran a miracle man when he piloted the Philadel- phia National league club to its first pennant in 1915, but they must im- provise a new cognomen for him now as manager of the Cincinnati Reds, for it seems as if he is leading that heretofore unsuccessful team into a championship. The Phillies hadn't won a pennant in all their 34 years of valiant ef. fort, and Cincinnati has failed under |dozens of managers ever since they | | Joined the league as a charter mem- “|ber in 1876, 43 years ago, except in 1882, when they won in the Ameri can association. If Moran succeeds with Cincinnati as he did with Phila- delphia, he will be a super-manager, non plus ultra, for the Reds have ruined more managers than the rest of the league combined. Par MORAN Pat is a most likable fellow and has the happy faculty of getting the very best out of his men. There are never grievances, cliques, or sore- heads on his ball club. He inspires the old spirit that wins. Team work is his specialty, and he is particu- larly adept at handling young piteh ers, due to his long experience as a catcher in his ball playing days | Such men as Ruether and Eller of the Reds are a tesimonial to his abil- ity as a developer of young hurlers. One interesting thing about the present Reds is that it is a team of cast-offs. But in that the Reds do not differ from any other National league clubs that recently have won pennants. Ever since the Giant championship combination of 1911, 1912, and 1913 was broken up the various National league champions have been teams recruited from ex- perienced players. BY LEO H. LASSEN Some time ago some of the veterans of the Seattle Tennis club announced their intention of making special efforts to teach the youngsters the game in an effort to compete with the stars devel- oped in California, where the natural conditions are much better for the development of young stars than Washington. So far noth- ing has been done by the local tennis club, but there are #' hopes. that the veteran stars of the institution will carry out the idea. Tennis has « big following in Seattle and if the youngsters learn the game right from the start, by the time they reach tournament age they will be ready to compete with the stars from the South, Seattle has a wealth of young tennis talent, such players as Bob Wabraushek and Marshall Allen being strictly Seattle players who have a good chance to make a name for themselves in annals, tennis Seattle can well be proud of the Crystal Pool, according to Guy Bates Post, the stage star at the Metropolitan Theatre this week. Post is a great swimming enthusiast, and has taken several swims in the Crystal baths this week. The Crystal Pool is one of the best swimming tanks in the country in Post's opinion. This speaks well for Seattle, and for Manager Sherwood, of the Crystal Pool. The pool represents a big outlay of money, and Seattle is showing its appreciation of the effort, which means much to Seattle water lovers, by the crowds at the pool every day. The Seattle baseball park needs more entrances and ticket win- dows. While it is impossible to make the changes this season, it is evident to local fans who have had to stand in line on Sundays and holidays waiting to purchase tickets. The exit system Is also inadequate. A lot of changes will have to be made in the business end of the park before it can claim Coast league class. If the Seattle school board can see the way to an athletic field for the city high schools, the lower field at Woodland Park would be one of the best locations possible. A natural amphitheatre, stands built on the western hill and a fence constructed around the field, would make the site all that could be desired. The place is big enough for all needs and in a good location. The fact that it belongs to the city will undoubtedly eliminate the expense of the purchase of a site. Seattle needs such a field, and Woodland Park has all of the natural advantages needed. With the winter boxing season but a few weeks away it is hoped that the local promoters will be able to bring some new talent to Seattle. After showing before the same fans time and time again boxes lose their attraction. This has been the trouble in Seattle, where it is hard to bring new boxers, because of the distance to the Coast and the four-round limit. The announcement that Pete Herman,world’s bentamweight king, may show here dur- ing the next couple of months at a local smoker is interesting, and comes from a good source of information in the East, which declares that Herman is ready for a trip to the Coast. The champion would have no trouble getting matches on the Coast, because it has been such a long time since a champion has appeared in actual combat in this neck of the woods, that a packed house would greet him, as sure as taxes, With an editorial policy demanding better fish and game conditions, the first edition of the “Western Sportsmen,” founded by the Seattle Sportsmen association, is on the news stands, The magazine is edited by Earl A. Frye, prominent Seattle sports- man, and is full of articles and pictures of interest not only to sport devotees but to the reading public. The second issue of the magazine will be on the stands next week. WHITE MEETS WINNER The winner of the Joe Welling. Sailor Friedman ten-round light weight brawl at Benton Harbor, Mich., on August 2, will meet Char- le White, Promoter Floyd Fitzsim- mons having scratched all arrange- ments for the two shows. The bout with White will be held at Benton Harbor on Labor day. The, milk of human kindness often tastes of the can, (ite JIMMY WILDE, M. P.

Boy YOU'RE A BALL PLAYER MAKES LIVE ONES OUT OF DEAD ONES. There is real talent on the Reds, however, but it took a capable man- ager to bring it out. The club has some real stars in Roush, Groh, Dau- bert and Wingo, and there is a lot of batting power in the club. The Reds, however, have been badly in| need of utility material, and since the injury to Left Fielder Sherwood Ma- gee, Rube Bressler, a pitcher, has been playing in the outfield. To show how the Reds have been picked up from all points of the big leogue compass it is only necessary to call attention to the fact that not a single regular on the Cincinnati | team started his major league career with the Reda There are delegates | on the Reds from every National) | league club, while almost all of the | American league clubs also are rep- resented on the Cincinnati team by former players, Arbuckle to Be Star Guest at Local Opening “Fatty” Arbuckle, movie comedian and owner of the Vernon Tigers, has been in- vited to be a guest of Seattle by the local baseball club dur- ing the week of the Tigers’ visit here, in August. Earlier in the year, Arbuckle prom- ised to come North with Al St. John, his famous movie side-kicker, and a group of bathing girls, Whether or not “Fatty” brings a troup with him, if he comes himself it will be enough to fill the park for the week. If Arbuckle comes North, he has been invited to be the guest of The Star at the first game of the series with the locals, which will be Star day at the ball park. INTEREST IS HIGH IN N. W. RACQUET MIX TACOMA, July 31.—Unusual in- terest is being shown this year in the Pacific Northwest tennis tour- nament to be held on the Tacoma Monday, and a large number of entries are being received from net wizards in various cities of the coast. Among the out-of-town are: Portland—Phil Neer, Oregon and Northwest junior champion, and Kenneth White; women players —Stella Fordyss and Mrs. W. R Northrup, both likely contenders for Northwest honors, Spokane—Jack Wright and Bobby Harper. Oakland—Mrs. J. C, Cushing. Seattle—Marshall Alen, Bob Wa- braushek, Will Taylor and A.

The Salt Lake mound star let the visitors down with three hits, and if Wally Smith on third base for the Bees hadn't suffered from a severe case of “butterfingers” the Seattle club would have been whitewashed. The Story The final count was 6 to 2. the story of the sad affair After two men reached first in the initial inning Earl Sheely won another ton of coal by ham- mering the ball out of the lot for his 18th home run for the year. In the next frame Smith's single and Spencer's double tallied an- other. Big Big Rumler rammed home the fifth counter with a two-base smash following Mag- gert’s walk in the fifth. The last Bee marker came over when Spencer chased the ball over the left fleld fence for the second home run of the day in the next frame. In the seventh Seattle man- aged to bring over a run on Smith's threebase wild heave on Murphy and an out and Smith's error. Schaller’s bunt and Swee- ney's single put over another in the eighth.
