The game is fast because of the shorter distances and the \kids have more confidence with the bigger and softer ball than they have in regulation baseball. Leagues have been organized for playground ball in the grammar schools and there are just about as big turnouts of jthe students for this sport as for the regular game. The youngsters of today are the men of tomorrow and ex- cessive playing of playground ball may make serious inroads into the ranks of league players in years to come. ‘Tribe Wins | When Gregg Hitting the b: throwing it, and the powe Assoc a eam to the | president of Associa a trip to} pr t ‘oved games would _ When shut out Wernon yesterday it was the third| t fullgame shutout that the has turned in and | 3 scor in the point Mefieffectiveness ax credited by the PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE | Mumber of earned runs per nine-in Won r M t Beis folns now he will come pretty!
