It looked for » while that Ruth | was getting too much publicity and that he was trying too hard to make good. Publicity never bothered Ruth, however, according to Sam Agnew, the San Francisco catcher, who says that Ruth was just as good as he has been advertised. Agnew was with thp Red Sox last season while Kuth was making his record. Bob Cannefax, world’s three-cushion billiard king, plays a mighty fine consistent game of billiards, In his matches at Brown & Hulen’s during the past week he has averaged slightly better than one per inning. Play ing on strange tables and traveling all over the country, the consistent | play of such men as Cannefax and Willie Hoppe shows beyond a doubt that they are champions in every sense of the word. Cannefax cloned his jexhibitions at the Second ave. parlors yesterday teack fans will be watching the work of Gus Pope, Wash- ington’s big hope for the Olympic team, when the big fellow heaves the discus in the dual meet with Oregon at Denny field today. He broke the Coast record in the meet with Pullman last Saturday with » heave of 140 feet, 11 inches, Pope is about the only Seattle man that is practically sure of the trip across the pond and the honor is a big one, Clyde Wares, the little pilot of the Seattle Siwashes In the Coast Iearue. is a likeable fellow who is giving the club the very best there is tn him. major leaguer as a ball player, but the fans like his style because he’s in the game every minute. Win or lose, the fans want the boys to show this kind of spirit, and Wares will win a home here if he keeps it up. ‘ Do you like to play tennis? Do you like to swim? Well, if you do watch The Star next week for first annow ents of swimming meet and tennis fourncy for Seattle net sharks and wateflovers, The meets willbe held in June. Seattle’s team tn the Pacific International feague will open ft's home season here Tuesday with the Spokane Indiana as the opposition. How will the Class B team draw? That's what a lot of fans are asking now. Well, it’s a cinch that if the teams play real baseball the fans will pat ronize the club because they like to see real baseball, whether it Class AA or ZZ. 5 SEATON AND SMITH ARE BARRED FROM LEAGUE | BY TOMMY LAIRD players, and that, altho he doran't (Special to The Star) mind quitting baseball, he wants a SAN FRANCISCO, May 8~—-Scan-| showdown, dal is indelibly written across the!
