With shoe leather so high it is no wonder that Roger Peckinpaugh is swatting the everlasting daylights out of the old apple this season. He sees a slice of world’s series dough in the offing and knows he can buy footgear for the kiddies thru the winter, pay the butcher, grocer and gas man, if his team cops.

If “Fatty” could see his way into going around the cireult with his club it would not only pack in the fans at the ball park, but would also help the gate receipts of the movies showing him in action. Of course Arbuckle may have not received the wires sent to bim, and Seattle fans may yet see the big boy in action With the tenround game going into effect in Portland this winter, Seattle boxing fans should bewefit by it. Bastern boxers with any sort of a reputation will not come to the Coast for four round fights, but they will come if guaranteed ten-round battles Seattle is not far from Portland, and if the local promoters show some speed, Seattle fans will see some real fighters soon, rounders who have fought In Seattle so ness as drawing cards, Seattle is promised ifornia boys this winter, Here's hoping that we have a chance of seeing something new in the fight game here this year, * 0 = YUM LUIYIMNY, ro rd} = Sug. 8. to the three-year-old filly Harvet. and Daisy Todd 2:06%, having been sold to export to Stokes cut Rameco's mark t McDonald sent Baron » over in 2 reduced the pacing recoré el Knight to 2:01 "ROUND COAST BAS Yesterday's winners—Vernon, Salt Lake City, Low Angeles, Seattle. the lat K was an enigma to the Seals.
