FARRELL ANTWERP, Aug. 18.— Earl Thompson, the great RUMLER; HOOD IS TO GO TO MAJORS - Dame Fate and some shady baseball have practically ed the Salt Lake Bees for the rest of this season. The ib is still in the thick of the pennant fight, but with the ndicaps handed the club during the last week or so only miracle can possibly keep the Bees in the race. _ Harl Maggert and Bill Rumler, two of the best outfielders the league, are lost to the Utahans. Both have become d up in the big baseball scandal that has wrapped its tentacles around the Coast league. Maggert has been re- leased while Rumler has been} | suspended indefinitely. Both) are charged with gambling. And now comes word that Wal lace Hood, the remaining regular outfiel . who ts the property of |the Brooklyn Dodgers, will be re called within the week by the Na- Uonal league club. TRIO OF 300 HITTERS LOST ieo| Three outfielders, hitting the ball 426 | over the .330 mark, all lost to the jteam for the rest of the season! i| And on top of this Ernie Johnson, Bent Loma; | the Fanking shortstop of the league, Feat Seeman, Teaeaee | has hurt his throwing hand, which a ne Oo | may put him on the bench any time BAN FRANCISCO— | He ts playing on his nerve now. If} Bas fo $| Johnson gets out of there another 360 hitter will be missing. ‘The powerful attack of the Bees, their strongest forte in climbing to the top of the heap, has been wrecked. They had a swell ball club a few weeks ago that prom- ised to make @ bitter fight for the Bacramento at Los Angeles Coast league pennant, and the Salts Oskiand at Portiand |took a nasty wallop on the chin all in one week. BASEBALL MUST PACIFIC COAST LES AGU an The players involved in the gam bling episode, however, must go, in |spite of the fact that ball clubs aré | wrecked. If the game can't be kept lean there will be no game. Salt Lake has been called upon to make a big sacrifice in the loas of their stars, but they simply follow in the tracks of the San Francisco club, the crusaders against gambling. The Seals let out Tom Seaton and Casey Smith at the start of the sea son in a more quiet way and the loss of the two pitchers just about cost the Seals their pennant chances.

Yanks Make | Big Offer for Chief Bender NEW YORK, Aug. 18.— Miller Huggins of the New York Yankees has made the New Haven club of the Eastern league an offer of $15,000 for “Chief” Bender, veteran Indian hurler.

Bender is also man- agen of the outfit and has the club in first place.
