No less than eight mem- bers of the Reds and Sox are products of the Pacific Coast With the Reds are Dutch Ruether, who was born and raised in San Francisco, and who now is considered the*best! young southpaw in either big league, and Morris Rath, for- mer Salt Lake third baseman. Rath led the Coast Leagu in hitting in 1917 with the sweet average of .541. Rath never dreamt that he would return to the majors! when he joined the Bees and he refused to believe it when he was told that the Reds had drafted him. He just laughed) when he was informed that his name was among the plays! ers who had been drafted from the Coast League. Ruether almost made the rounds of the Coast Leagué The Angels, Beavers and Bees all found him wanting mainly because he disobeyed training rules. His behavior this season is the reason why he has been the sensatian of the majors. He could pitch as good five years ago as he can now, but he didn’t take the game seriously. Incident ally, his wonderful pitching undoubtedly is the biggest factor connected with the Reds’ success. Pat Moran's team never would have reached the top without Ruethers| services. | PIRATE MOGUL SAYS HE WON CINCY FLAG Five former Coast Leaguers— | Buck Weaves, Lefty Williams, Swale Risberg, Fred McMullin and Chik Gandil—are just as much respon: for the victory of the White Sogns any five members of the team.
