This, be claims, ty without Precedent in major league affairs. With the game showing such popn- rity and prosperity, Rickey cannot ire why it should be choked by iting or making more difficult one thing that has popularimd sport—home runs. “The fans seldom make corapari- of the fielding ability of rival players,” says Rickey, “it is always _ the hitting. ©) “Last season, fans the country @rer were wildly excited over the home-run race in the majors, as to “whether Ruth would be displaced or “Overcome the handicap of a late “You never heard the fans do any aving about fielding averages. “Leave well enough alone is my attitude on the hore-run question.” MANAGED STAR Cy.

Ee ‘The game was rather listless and unexciting for the most part, Seattle’s big lead taking Seattle's first score was scored by Briden, who took a pass from Rowe. The veteran worked the puck down center ice and made a nice pass to the left wing. Briden shot hard for the corner of the net and Fowler waved at the fly- ing rubber with his stick and missed. The first tally came after nearly nine minutes of play. Foyston and Riley worked the same trick a few minutes later, Foyston making the pass and Riley shooting from the wing, Fowler waving again and also missing once more. Foyston scored the third goal of the first period on a solo rush down right wing, shooting the puck hand- ed to the nets. Tho disc slid under Fowler's skates for a goal, Tho first goal of the second period was the result of a combination rush of Walker and Ritey down the ice. Walker passed the puck out from behind the net and Foyston pounced upon the rubber, shooting it like a bullet past Fowler. Foyston and Riley did a duet act again In this period, Riley taking the rubber on Foyston’s pass and bouncing it fn the nets on a terrific shot off Fowler's pads, THE LINEUPS Seattle Vietort Holmes .

Ho will be playing under Ira} Thomas, former Athletic star, Har-| ris belongs to the Athletics and is sent to the Texas league under op- tion. Harris likes to play ball and plans to make it his vocation. Ho is 23 yeara old this year and if he mak the big league grade in another sea- son or so he will have a long time as a major performer. WAS JACK ADAMS RALLROADED? Jack Adams will pastime Texas league next year, With Oakland having a sick staff and with the same holding good for Portland it looks like Adams was railronded out of the Coast league. The former Seattle catcher was too good a receiver to pass out of this company. Adama took over the management of the Seattle club In the middle of the year and when Harry Wolverton was assigned the Seattle team after the close of the season it looks like the rest of the teams in the circuit didn't want to take any chance with an ex-manager playing on thelr club. in the SMITH'’S CLAIM TO FAME Jimmy Smith, new shortstop of the Salt Lake Bees, has one claim to fame, such as it may be. In the 1919 series with the Chicago White Sox Smith was utility infislder with the Cincinnat! Reds, Hoe got in several verbal arguments with Eddie Collins, the great second sacker of the Sox. And during the conversation of one of those arguments it in said that the irrepressible Jimmy sprayed Mr. Collins’ smeller with the juice of the tobacco leaf. Collins wanted to murder James, they reported, but players separated them, Well, that’s that. VERNON HAS THREE FIRST SACKERS Vernon goes into training camp with three first sackers, Rod Murphy, formerly of Seattle, Ham Hyatt and Dallas Locker are the three, If Murphy plays in form and tends to his knitting he shouldn't have any trouble beating out the venerable Hyatt. Locker will undoubtedly be kept re- gardleus of whether Murphy or Hyatt plays the bag as Locker 1s a good righthanded hitter and Bill Eusick will probably play tho hitting shift on first base again, sora" PIES Made to Order for Social Gatherings “They're Individual?

The Daughters of Eve are donning the spiked shoe, entering teams in open meets and generally con- tributing to the excitement of the occasion by leaving a trail of smash- ed records, hairpins and such like in their wake, Their advent into a realm here tofore monopolized strictly by che male was regarded a bit dublously at first by the patrons of the sport. It waa not long, however, before gameness of these modern Atlantas, coupled with their unquestionable spirit of competition and willingness to learn, assured them a permanent place in the hearts of the crowd, The present competitors are the pioneers in a movement which is un- doubtedly still in its infancy. It will, if done in moderation, constitute a great factor in the mental, as well as physical development of coming generations, for the sport, to all ap- pearances, is hore to stay.

Davis held the title last year, but lost to Schuman in Tacoma when he ‘was blinded and had to toms in the towel In the third or fourth round of their scheduled six-round contest. Davis lost a few weeks later to Jimmy Duffy and Duffy claimed the championship, but Schuman’s pre- vious victory had retieved Davis of the title, Schuman and Davis are two evenly matched battlers who should travel at top speed ih their tiff, Schuman is making his first start in the North- west for a long time, while Davis has also been laying off for a little while. Both of the millers have agreed to weigh in at 147 pounds the day of the fight, When tho smokers are held fn the Arena again and bigger crowds can be accommodated Duffy will be brought to the Northwest for a series of matches and the winner of next week's scrap has a fine chance of landing the first Seattle battle with the Oakland Shadow, Nate Druxinman, who is handling next week's fisticuffs, is busy Mning up his other four bouts for the bill, IT’S HARD TO REPEAT ON LINKS A GOLF title is the most fickle thing {nh all sportdom, In baseball it 1s not unusual for a pennant winner to repeat, Likewise in tennis.
