PAGE 12 THE SEATT LE STAR MONDAY, JULY 9 All’s Not Sweet in Denmark With Seattle Ball Club7} BY LEO H, LASSEN . ITH the announcement that Wade Killifer would take over the reins of the Seattle club in place of Harry Wolverton Saturday alse broke the news that 590 shares of the Seattle stock had been sold to R. C, Harvey, a Witchita, Kan., oil magnate. The significance of the latter announce- ment is almost lost in the glamor caused by the change in management, but it is far more impor- tant to the fans of Seattle than the shift in man- agers that has been expected jor some time. Charles Lockard and Wade Killifer in selling expose their hands in the fight with William H. McCarthy, league president. It is beginning to Betwee Innings YM HERE TO TELL You THAT “THis WEATHER “6 HoT! 1 ThoucttT I'p CHECK ouT “TODAY » WHY, WHEN I Took OFF MY COLLAR I(T WAS STARTING To GET FRECKLES!. BY D. E. DUGDALE 'OBODY was mi prised when it was a Saturday that Red Killife very would succeed Harry Wolverton as man ager of the Seattle Indians. Wolver- ton isa good man, altho he has had his trouble in getting the team fo play good ball away from ho It was simply a question team having two good managers the ground and thers Is only room for one of them. Killifer ts intere in the club financially and one can't blame him for wanting to run his own ball club WAS very much surprised to hear that the 8 sold 590 shares to Wichita, Kansas, it would be for the best of baseball to have sol men if possible, as the @re pretty tired of having outsid men interested in the club. IECAUSE he likes his base hits may cost Buzz Arlett a big league job. He had a swell chance of going up tast year as a pitcher, but Arlett kept puttering around in the outfield “becausé he could hit and now his arm has gone back on him and he can’t pitch. Arlett ts PF Fic OUR BOARDING HOUSE MAJOR RECALLS SOME WARM WEATHER === look like the president of the league may be on the right track in his charges of syndicate base- ball here, Unless Lockard and Killifer are planning to sell out altogether their present action is a big surprise; as the way things now stand they no longer control the destinies of the Seattle club. in bringing more outside money into the Seattle layout the present owners are making a football out of the Seattle franchise. There have been charges and counter charges about William Wrigley being behind the Seattle ball club, Lockard took the case into the federal court and lost his fight to be seated as a director of the league. McCarthy won this point. n|DR. O. F.

Johnston played the leading role in Seattle's double cleanup on the Oaks driving in a total of five runs during the matinee and scoring the winning run himself Seattle won 6 to 5 in the first engagement and 4 to sterday, 3 in 10 frames in the second TOUR HE ag Daailal taint "i And now he and Killifer sell out the controll- ing interest to an outsider. Are they weakening under fire, and do they intend to sell out alto- gether? That’s what Seattle fans want to know, and they’re entitled to an answer. There is a vast difference between baseball and other kinds of commercialized amusement. Each city takes a civic interest in its baseball team. Making the Seattle franchise a political football and having it tainted with syndicate charges is dangerous business. Seattle fans will refuse to support baseball unless the present owners come clean and lay their cards on the table.

First it was Bill Klepper and the Bill Kenworthy case that put a black mark on Seattle baseball, and now it’s the shadow of William Wrigley and his dollar sign that threatens to put Seattle in bad again. The Star demands, in the name of clean base- ball, that the present Seattle owners declare themselves. MEDAL ROUND Seattle ) White Sox _ Keystone Man Stars | | BY BILLY EVANS | JN the rather sorry showing being IT made by the Chicago White Sox, | the brilliant play of the veteran Ed- die Collins stands out as the one redeeming feature. At the opening of the season many of the experts relegated Collins to the has-been class, described the fa- mous second sacker as slowing up badly. On the contrary, Collins is playing the best ball he has played in five or six years | His fielding has been sensational. His batting since the opening game | has been a feature of the Sox's play. | His average has always been well | above the .300 mark, und at times was | mighty close to the very select .400 | circle. | It is on the bases, however, that | Collins has been doing his most sen- | sational work, thereby putting to | route the critics who insisted he was slowing up badly. His stolen base record has already passed the mark and it would occasion no great surprise if he led the league in that department this year. When asked to explain his great work, Collins re- a | plied: § | COLLINS IN 4 | GREAT SHAPE i 3 “Tam in the best shape in years. | That is the explanation.
