Little Chance of Third Ma- jor League on Coast Now BY LEO H. LASSEN “ATTLE is looking forward to next year in the Coast league and the club will hang onto all of its young talent in an effort to build for 1920, says Prexy Jimmy Brew- ster, of the Siwashes. “Seattle will abide by the minor league ruling neeling major league draft in every way yodeled Jimmy yesterday. “We have had a hard enough time this season without letting go the players we have now.” : Reports from the South indicate that Waiter mccreuie, pilot of the Portland Beavers, does not intend to live up to the agreement, but will sell any players to the majors that they may draft at the end of the season, if they pay the regulation draft price. Which brings up the question, does McCredie own the contracts of the men on his squad? ; It is_a well known fact that McCredie was handed a team by Detroit at the beginning of the season and Presi- dent Navin of the Michigan squad isn’t handing anybody ing for nothing, so it follows that strings are being somewhere.

Windsor, who is a Seattle visitor, gets a big giggle out of Hector's proposal to fight Dempsey and his threat to bet $1,000 on himself. Hector fought Dempsey twice, crawling out of the ring in the fifth round in their fight a{ Salt Lake City in 1916, and taking the count for an hour and a half in the second meeting a month later, says Windsor, who ought to know, as he was Dempsey’s manager then. Tennis is a big sport in Seattle, and local sportdom wants to know more about what is happening in the local tennis world. The Seattle Tennis club is a big organization, and should foster some sort of a publicity organization whereby Seattle court fans will know the “what and wherefore” of the net game here. Under present conditions it is almost impossible for local papers to obtain tennis news without having a representative sitting out at the clubhouse every day, which, of course, is out of the question. Regarding reports that he intended to prime Young Hector for a battle with Jac Jempsey on the Coast, gives Fred Windsor an- other big laugh, “Heetor never beat a first-class man that I know of, and "t know what he has done here; but from what I hear, Hector has had a lot of setups in Seattle. All I intended to do was to take Hector South with me to fight K, 0. Kruvosky or some of the other four-rounders in San Francisce. It's a good laugh, this match with Dempsey. Heetor wouldn't have any more chance with Jack than I would, which may be more or less interesting to Seattle sportdom If Fred Windsor returns to Seattle after making « trip to his home in Lox Angeles he will undoubtedly break into the referee came here, He has refereed many fights at Doyle's arena at Ver. non. He has a reputation as a competent official all along the Coast. Austin and Salt promise him a chance here, if he returns to the Queen City. Cheasty’s 4 Seattle Boys May Mix With Navy Artists .
