LASSEN Does Seattle want Coast league baxebs Just attend of the Saturday or Sunday games and figure it out for . The wonderful support Seattle fans are giving Siwash crew is proof enough that Seattle wants base- and such support demands the best possible. This is Seattle’s first year in the Coast league for some and the fans did not expect a pennant winner the time out. But there is next year to figure for.

LASSEN ¥ Playing a game of ping pong, the match be- tween Mansell-Smith and Verley for the state tennis title at the Firloch ‘club Saturday, was a distinct disappointment. Both men played a safe game, and the match was a long drawn out affair in which Smith was vanquished by the Canadian in four tedious sets. Verley used a chop stroke and his form was terrible, but he won, which is all that counts temporarily. Verley played a strong defensive game with Smith doing all of the leading. The illness of Sara Livingstone, woman's champion, preventing her from competing in the finals, was a distinct disappointment, as the wom- an’s singles and doubles were defaulted. While there isn’t any glory in the victory of Mayme Mc- Donald, the new singles champion, she stands head and shouders in class over the other Northwest net players, with the exception of the “Divine” Sara. While Vernon has a swell ball club for the Coast league, the Tigers must remember that the season has a long way to run, and they haven't shaken off the Angels, by any means. Bill Essick, the Tiger pilot, was so sure that his club would smear the Seattle aggregation every time out, that he insisted that his ciub play here eight full games. Well, the locals have taken two tilts from the Tigers so far, and the final game is being played today, There is danger that the Tigers will become overconfident, and that has ruined more than one champion and contender. Just remember Jess Willard and then do your own figuring. City semi-pro pilots will go into conference Tuesday night to formulate some sort of plan to determine the city championship. This may be made to embrace the Northwest section. Details for the proposed series will be made at the meet- ing, which is called for 7:30, Biff Schaller, the outfielder released by Seattle to Portland Saturday, is living up to expectations. He hammered out a home run Saturday, and his single in the ninth inning against Oakland Sunday scored the winning runs in the second game. Fabrique, another Seattle cast-off, collected a dou- ble and vee against Salt Lake yesterday for Los ra Inning the game for the Angels. Ho! um BAN JOHNSON |SPOKE MAY ISON TRAIL | OF SHINERS.
