SEATTLE PITCHING 18 BIG QUESTION Can the Seattle pitching stand up |under the strain of the Rees’ heavy artillery? That's.the big question yet to be solved. With Brenton gone | and not yet replaced, and Ray | Francia, the young southpaw, barred for three years by action of Secre- tary Farrell, of the National com | mission, charging Francia with con-| tract jumping cartier in the year, the | | pitching staff doesn't look any too smart. Harry Gardner, thé old re Hable, has been hurling some great ball Bob Geary also delivered in| good shape down South. Ernie Schorr didn't get by very well, while Al Demaree won a couple of starts. Socks Seibold pitohed one brilliant game—that iTinning affair. Guy Cooper, the new addition to the staff, was a terrible flivver down South. He may be used ‘once At least.

Both of these outfielders were cracking the ball at a tremendous rate. They puave been replaced by old man Frans Hosp and Harry Wolter. Both are slow and just about thru. Everybody thought Hosp was done last year when Seattle released him, but he's evidently back for more, ‘The Salts still have their infield tn- tact and present one of the best in ner works in the league. And thore/ boys can hit, Earl Sheely, the league's best clouter, in still at first with Krug at second, Johneon at} short and Mulligan at third make up the quartet.* BEES GET GooD LINE OF PITCHING With Ralph Stroud, Nick Cullop, “Lefty” Leverenz, Al Gould and young Thurston pitching good ball, | the Bees are getting some of the best hurling in the league. Of this bunch young Thurston shows the most promise of going to the majors soon. He's just a youngster, but if he shows the same class during the present series that he did when the Bees were here earlier in the season, he should give the local hitters plenty to worry about FIELD MAY BE SOFT AND SLOW The Rainier Valley park may be soft and slow for the Salt Lake series if the present rain doesn't let up. (This is betng written Monday, 5:30 p. m., and a young flood has been the big feature of the afternoon for the past two hours.) The valley |park is soft, and while the infieid| joes dry off quickly, that outfield is going to be a weird place to roam, unless the rain ceases. Speaking of | the ball park, we hear that a new row of boxes has peen erected to accommodate the Saturday and Sun. |day crowds. ‘The new boxes have jbeen constructed in front of the old boxes. | SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14—A thjrd match between Ad Santel,| holder of the light heavyweight mat | | title, and Jim Londos, champion of} the Greeks, practically was assured as a result of Londos’ victory night over Santel in the civic torium here. | The Greek evened up the score by taking the best two out of three ‘alls, but not without a mighty struggle. Jim won the first fall in an hour and 57 minutes, Santel | took the second in Jig time flppping Londog in little more than eight minutes, Londos came. back with a vengeance And pinned Santel in |14 minutes, 43 seconds. | Several weeks ago Santel won from Londos, incidentally clinching his claim to the light heavyweight | crown.

If Dempsey sends Brennan to sleep, fight fans will*be watching the Georges Carpentier-“Tattling” Levinsky bout in Brooklyn October 12 next, If the Frenchman wins de- clsively nothing short of a universal tidal wave could ever stop a Demp- ney-Carpentier meeting some time, some place.
