May 1.—Ed ward Macey, president of the Ver. non baseball club, announced today that he would appeal to Judge Lan- dis for a reconsideration of his decree which yesterday debarred Ray French, star shortstop, and Jeay Doyle, pitcher of the Vernon chub, from playing with the Tigers this season. The commissioner ruled that be- cause the New York American league team retained title and con- trol of French and Doyle when they were transferred to Vernon in Janu- ary, 1922, in contravention of the major-miror leagues’ agreement, they will not be allowed to play with either club during the present season, REQUESTING QUERY SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.—Wil- Nam HH. McCarthy, president of the Pacific Coast league, Monday night denied that he had requested Judge | Landis, baseball commissioner, to investigate the status of Ray French and Jess Doyle. ‘The charge that McCarthy was the man behind the probe was made by a Los An- geles sporting writer recently. Com: missioner Landig yesterday declared French and Doyle free agents, be- cause of an alleged violation of ma- Jor-minor league rules by the New York Americans and the Vernon Tigers.

LITTLE FELLOWS HEAD ARENA SMOKER TONIGHT ws all past performances in main events here pointing to the fact that the little fellows have al- ways put up the most torrid fights, boxing followers are looking for a red hot tilt tonight at the Arena when California Joe Lynch and Dandy Dillon, square off for their six round encounter, Seldom have two youngsters fought here who have been more evenly matched in every respect. Phyvically there is little difference in any point. Joe and Dandy are about the same height, are built along the same rugged lines, have the same reach and fight on the same style, Both are comers, with Dillon haying a slight edge in ring experience but has not had any more fights than Lynch, The latter has boxed often: er in the time he has been boxing than the Minneapolis gladiator, Both boys have had « metoric rise in the boxing game and tholr records are marked with brillant perform. ances against highly touted fighters at their weight. Lynch's greatest former bantamweight champion of the world. Lynch’ met Buff in the latter's first fight after he lost the title and beat Buf! much further than New York Joe Lyneh did in winning the championship. Dillon made equally notable show. Ings against such fighters as Frankie | Mason, former American flywelght | champion, and went a step further by winning the flyweight championship of Canada, When Dandy had been out of his short pants but a few months he was boxing some of the toughest bantams in the game and beat them, Dan Salt has backed his excellent main event up with a sterling card of four matches.

But Wolverton had run out of pitch- ers and there wasn't anybody else to put in. Seattle Is in need of more pitching ngth, but it's a puzzle as to where they will get it, as no players are available from the majors while the war over the option and draft is on. The other minor league clubs are hanging on to their good mound tal- ent and pitchers trom the slower leagues won't help the club any. ONE IE DOESN'T MAKE A SEASON It was too bad that Seattle had to make that goofy showing with San Francisco before a big Sunday crowd, but those things will happen, and one or two games don’t make a sea- son by any means, Any team is apt to have a bad day, but because the players do have an off afternoon is no sign that the manager can can eyerybody in the ball yard and get a new team. Those “loyal” fans who say they won't ever go near the ball park again after the Indians play a poor game are usually the first bugs to be in line for the ticket window when the team Is going good. No club can wit all of the time and every team can't be in first place. Harry Wolverton’s club will be play- ing good ball when the boys get or- ganized again, as they have a lot of good ball players on that team. BARNEY IS GREAT PINCH HITTER Ed Barney is undoubtedly the best pinch hitter that has struck the Coast league in years. He's a pip when called upon to stick for somebody else, It’s no cinch, either, to be out of the game and to be called upon to look over a pitcher's offerings after the hurler has been working most of the game. [he pitcher has the edge. But Barney has a set of steel nerves and he seldom fails to hit. He crashed another Dingle In Sunday's game, good for a base hit. Por & FRISCO WILL HAVE POWERFUL CLUB ~ When Joe Kelley and Tim Hené ryx get back into the game and Ed Mulligan is playing third base the San Francisco Seals will have one of the strongest teams that ever stepped on a minor league diamond, and it could undoubtedly beat a lot of ma- Jor league clubs. The Seals have the best battery department in the league, an infield that won't take a back seat for any in the circuit, a heavy-hitting outfield and a good at- tack thruout the batting order. ‘The Seals ure certainly the team to beat when they get all of their strength in the lineup. SCHELLENBACK IS HURLING SWEET BALL Frank Schellenback continues to hurl wonderful ball for Vernon, The great right-hander of the Tigers has fully recovered from the operation on, his pitching elbow that kept him out)}} of the game last year. He is pitching the spithall with all his old-time ef- fectiveness and he will give any club | in the league a battle when he's right, IKLD DAY FOR SEATTLE CLUB The Star is planning a big field day | for the Seattle club when the team gets home, which will inctude all of the usual stunts. Pungo hitting, clr- cling the bases, accurate and long-distance pegging and some match races wilk be on the program. DON'T FORGET STACY SHOWN'S VOTING Seattle fans shouldn't forget that at the end of the season they will be called upon to vote on the most val- uable man on the Saitls team for the season.
