(tar: 10 i _ ore Ball Weeks; Vernon Next Los Angeles and Salt Lake City to Stage Big Series in South; Other Gossip BY LEO H. LASSEN Eight weeks more remain of Coast league baseball, With three teams battling neck and neck for the lead, the remaining days of the 1919 season promise to be one of the warmest cam paigns in the history of the cir cuit, Los Angeles, Vernon and Salt Lake City are still very much in the race. Salt Lake, in third place, is but three games behind the leaders, while Ver non is but half a game behind the Angels. The coming week favors the Vernon Tigers to climb back in to first place, The Tigers will play Seattle here, while Salt Lake and Los Angeles battle it out at Los Angeles. The Bee Angel series is one of the vital weeks of ball for the season. The Angels are better fortified for the tilts, as they are playing on their home grounds, and the Salt Lake squad has no real pitchers to speak of If Manager Herr, of the Rees could call on “Lefty” Leverenz this week to hur! a couple of games, the Bees might knock the Angels out of first place, but as it now stands, Al Gould is the only real hurler on the Mormon staff. Angels Strong in Box Crandall, Brown and Fittery All pitching good ball for the leaders now, and Killefer will have a big edge on the invaders in the box Roth clubs have a corps of .200 hit ters. Rumler and Sheely will bother the “Angel moundmen. Crawford Fournier and company are not crip Piles at the plate, either, by any means. Two weeks before the end of the | geason the Rees return to their home lot, where they are just as apt to win a straight series from the New York Giants as not. During thelr home stay Frisco, Vernon and Los Angeles visit the Bee park ‘Things should hum tn the Utah ham- Jet before the season is over, May Decide It If the race is at all close at the closing week between Vernon and Los Angeles, the pennant for this season May be decided during the last seven days, as the Tigers and Angels are billed to meet in Los An- geles in the last series of the year After three weeks more on the home lot, in which Vernon, Oakland and Salt Lake will visit here, Sesitie goes on the road for three weeks, | Oakland, Sacramento and) meeting Portland. Los Angeles and Sacra Mento will close the season here. CONSTRUCTIVE SALES 1S THE BUNK Selling Forest Cady to the Sacra ramento club, which plays the Los) * Angeles crew in a couple of weeks, by Vernon is bringing a censor to the camp of Bill Essick and company A good catcher like Cady will just about make the Solon crew. If the Angels can be dragged down from their berth during the next two weeks the Tigers will have easier | sailing as they play Seattle and Portland in turn here. In some of the eastern leagues rulings prevent: | ing sales or trades after a certain date in the season are in effect. In this way it is less probable that teams in the league can “work” gether. to.

But that is another story 1.) ETE Sino Hal, “ H Leo. itLessen Bill Clymer, who came west to conquer new diamonds, has left Seattle behind. The — sorrel- topped leader is on his way to California today. Bill's great record of never lrading a team in the second division in 17 years has been broken. Clymer work- fandom will never truly realize and the breaks of the game played strong against him. Bill leaves Seattle wishing the team well, altho the club brought him but little, Seattle fandom will remember Bill as the boy who started the ball «rolling and wishes him well in whatever un dertaking he may enter Constant wrangling between the umpires and the players is the most monotonous thing for the spectators in the world. The fans like to see the game, but constant haggling over every pitch drags out the tilts and spoils the game for the fans, who go out to the ball park to see the players play ball and not to hear umpire baiting, Some of the pires’ verdicts during the have been terrible, tle players hi much to blame as the visitors, Lioyd Madden, the pride of the shipyards, has bern signed to meet Lieut. Bird of Camp Lewis, according to Clay Hite of the Northwest Athletic club, who will stage a smoker nt the Arena next week. Madden is a battler whom the fans like to see work because he gives them a run for their money. Seattle could stand a few more like him, While Ray French, the Seattle shortstop, makes his share of the boots and strikeouts and “boners,” he is in the game all of the time and when he does hoot a chance in’ the field or , he doesn't keep beet Wt his tough luck.
