And right now “Red” Killefer has only four men whom he can count as regulars—John Mil- jus, Suds Sutherland, Bill Plummer and Sterl- ing Stryker. Fred Fussell, the slim southpaw who has been ill, may be the fifth man and again it may be Fred Lucas, the young fellow who will join the Indians in Portland this week. Lucas is an all-around handy man, being able to play ond base, but Killefer needs pitching strength and Lucas wouldn’t have much of a chance to beat Cliff Brady out at second base. Stryker and Miljus have made good with a large bang, pitching good ball in every one of their appearances. And when Sutherland was driven from the box last Saturday, it was his first failure of the year to go the route. Roy Moore and Jim Yeargin, pitching for the first time this year, looked bad last Saturday, but they'll be given more of a trial. Lefty Brandt pitched much better Sunday than in his previous trip to the mound and bears watching, particularly as a relief hurler. Nick Dumovitch has looked good in spots, but can’t be classed as a sure thing yet That's the extent of the ‘hurling staff to date. 1 000 Golfers Ex pected in Jefferson Tourney BY ALEX C, ROSE ROWING in mushroom-like fash- fon is the interest that ts being taken in the Seattle municipal links | decennial golf tourname to be held th Jefferson Park May 9 12 almo: at thi that to 1,000 players will t in this three-day golfing event which marks the 10th anniversary of | municipal golf in the city.

Levinson, one time manager of Johnny McCarthy, the wallop- ing motorman of Frisco, was one of the most famous charac- ters of the ring game and was well known here, as he came to the Northwest many times with MeCarthy when he was in his prime, All of the gloves for the big championship fights of the ring, from the days of Corbett and itzsimmons, have been made in Levinson’s small shop on Mar- ket st.
