Hardly less interesting was the re turn of "Pod" Geers to the sulky. The grand old man drove his first race of the present season. In fact. It was his presence behind Napoleon Direct that made the free-for-all a race never to be forgotten by lovers of harness horses.

Inch by inch he overhauled Single G and passed him about 60 feet from the wire, winning the heat In 2:01. Single a Takes Tfclrd Heat.

Miss Huber spent the past few months in the East attending college, but is back at Gear hart for the Summer, and her presence will serve to make the competition even keener. Coast League Gossip CATCHER GEORGE BLOCK, former Seal, has enjoyed the experience of changing uniforms four times within ten days, and now weara the Insignia of tha Milwaukee Brewers. St. Joseph released Block to Wichita a little over two weeks ago and Wichita, within a few days, sent him back. St. Joseph than resigned him and in aafew days released him to Milwaukee. Hughie Smith, of 8an Francisco, wants It distinctly understood that he, and not iiappy. Hogao, discovered Swede Hlsberg. "When Harry Wol verton was manaa-infr Oakland," says Hughie, "I brought him Risberg, who was then a pitcher, and told him that I would stake my reputation on Rlsbers; as a ballplayer. They put sn Oakland uniform on the youngster, but kidded him out of the clubhouse. For that matter. Danny Long couldn't see Ris berg. But I was confident I knew what I was talking about, and now it has been proved." Reports have It that Tommy White, second sacker of Chleo, In tha Califor nia Trolley League, has signed a con tract with Ban Francisco and will re port September 1. White has made a rood showing In the bushes and oomea recommended to the Seals by a number of good baseball judges. a e Both Portland and Los Angeles are shy a little coin of the realm because of turning youngsters loose last Spring. Carson 'Bigbee'a sale by Ta mmo to Pittaburtc reminds us that Walt had the youngster. Frank Chance turned Howard Khrake loose because he did not believe he was strong enough to pitch many games during a season. Iihmko has won something like 0 and lost five combats for the Rochester dab, of the New York State Leaarue. and has been sold to Detroit fora price reported to be $4000. e Roy H'tt has abandoned hope of get ting into shape this season.

Bill Peareey, of the Saints, has ap parently struck his stride, if one is to judge from the last few gamea that he has chucked. Against the Beavers, who are no mean hitters, especially at Salt Lake. Bill allowed but three hits in two games. This is a remarkable record for any ball park in the world. but on the Salt Lake field, where the base hits are as numerous as the kids at the s;ames, the stunt is, indeed, ex traordinary. After his return to tha Coast League from an unsuccessful endeavor to break In with the New York Yankees. Billy was a bit tickled with himself, ta put it mildly, and as a result his work was off color. As soon as Blankenshio dls covered the ailment It required only a nine lime 10 set imngs right. Since coming down to earth, Plercey is one of the most efficient hurlers en the Saints' staff. He is a mighty nice fel low, personally, loo. J.

He will retain his residence at Castclla. near Shasta Springs, CaL. but will coma to Oakland as orten as is needed, and says that If he finds it necessary he will nova there to reside permanently.
