An all-star squad could be picked each member, including the pitcher, hitting over the .300 mark. Without considering the most any team a run for its Not only would the team hit, but the squad would hate plenty of speed. Fisher, Johnson, Bohne, Fitzgerald, Maisel land Eldred are far from slow on their feet. And the would be good, STRONG INFIELD ‘Take a look at the Infield. Sheely & tower of strength with his long reach, at first; Fisher and Johnson, two of the best keystone workers in the minors, and Bohne, the scrappy Seattle third sacker, round out a pretty nifty quartet. ‘The outfield would present a fairly food defense with the exception of Fitagerald’s weak throwing. At that defense , Fits’ speed makes up a lot of his only shortcoming. Both Maisel and Fidred are ranked with the best fly chasers in the league, Johnny Bassler, who would do the catching, ts right there behind the plate as well as with the willow, SEIBOLD 18 PITCHER “Books” Seibold, the Seattle re! hurler, in the hardest hitting pit in tho league, according to the aver ages. While “Socks” has dope some good hitting. he would nakaty be picked on any other all-star team. It's just a bit of interesting dope for the fans—and don't overlook the fact that Seattle leads the squad with three members. SEATTLE OPENS BIG SERIES TODAY Seattle will open its big series with the Vernon Tigers in Los Angeles with a double header today. The squad will play nine games in all with the Tigers and what a lot does depend on the outcome of this series! fer! y The situation has been doped out un-| til the Sigure hounds are groggy and from now on it’s just a case of watch ful waiting.

While Rumler may not have tossed any nem away to the enemy, he admitted gambling aga nat his own club, and no matter what kind of a tale he may tell, it will always sound fishy FANS HAVE YELP COMING Unless the Cincy Reds kick thru with a pitcher of Coast league class to replace Herb Brenton, who is now in Cincyville, the Seattle fans have a right to raise a big squawk. Brenton was sent to the big show with the Promise that he would be replaced by a pitcher who could win in this company. We need a good pitcher right now worse than anything else. It’s up to the local club owners to see that a pitcher is delivered or else they have some tall explaining to do to Seattle fandom. SALT LAKE REFUSES TO CRACK In spite of the lows of Maggrert and Rumler, a pair of .300 hitters, the Salt Lake Bees are refusing to crack and are holding their own in the| Coast league race.

Gorman always was popular here, and Flores promises to be one of the season's sensations if he continues to sock ‘em the way he did Jackson. Jackson, by the way, is gotting himself in condition for another try with the Filipino. Flores admitted that Jackson can hit after their bout when Eddie managed to land a couple of stiff punches on the dark-skinned K. ©, artist.

The new prices will probably be the same as those prevailing in San Francisco and Lon Angeles—$3.30, $2.20 and $1.10, DEMPSEY AND MISKE PUT IN HARD DAY BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Sept. 1. —Jack Dempsey felt better today.

They worked the first game of the series which was won by the Mount Baker squad. Both pitchers dished up some pretty baseball with Sheedy having a bit the edge. The club boys could only nick his delivery for four bingles. ‘The Mount Baker hurler will have a harder line of hitters to face Sun- day when the two clubs swing into action in the third game of the series }at Columbia playfield, Bob Boyer, John Thorburn and Ted Abner, the regulars who return to the Felix fold. are all hard hitters. If Thorburn is right he should give the Mount Baker outfit plenty to worry about, b he has a big break on his curve ball. He would have given the opposition a harder fight in the first game if he had been given any kind of support. The pitching promises to play the big role and both Thorburn and Sheedy will have to be on edge for the biggest struggle of the series, A win for Mount Baker clinches The Star trophy for them, while a for the club team makes the series go to three tilts.
