May This - A Los Anreles at Portland. San h rancisco at Beattle. Sacramento at vernon Lake at Oakland. Salt BY KOSCOE FA-WCETT. While the neck and neck race be tween Vernon and Salt Lake is ab sorbing much attention from Pacific Coast league fans, the Portland and Seattle clubs are drawing a propor tinniin shara of the interest. Both these teams are making valient ef forts to dislodge San Francisco from the first division, and again a place in the sun for themselves. Last week Seattle won from Los Angeles five games out of seven, and Portland gave San Francisco, another first division club, decisive drubbing in five games out of seven. As a re sult Portland is only two games be hind the Seals, and Seattle is only two games behind Portland. Seattle's climb has been rapid. It has won its last six straight series, defeating in turn Portland, Oakland, Vernon, Sacramento, Salt Lake and Los Angeles. The steady climb of the Rainiers is best shown by the follow ing figures, the upper denoting their percentage, and the lower their standing in the league: 892 408 432 437 459 475 "8" T T" 6 6 6 Rainier Coins Strong;. It does not reautre a course in tri gonometry to figure that the Rainiers are going strong, and may break into the first division within another fortnight. Fortunately the Portland club took a brace last week and played brilliant ball against the Seals. One of the pleasant features of the week was the excellent showing made bv Brooks, young pitcher sent West by Detroit some time ago. Brooks looks like, a find. Cox's return to the field bolstered the club apreciably for Dick is a ma. jor- league prospect. Walter McCredie declared upon his return from Salt Lake that the Beavers might have won the series from the Bees had Cox been in the lineup. Vernon added to her grip on the first position by winning the odd game from Salt Lake, while at the other extreme of the percentage col umn Oakland shoved Sacramento a little further into the dungeon by walloping Bill Rodgers' crew five times in seven games. Sacramento appears to be a hopeless tail-ender. Vernon's success is due to good pitching, and a well balanced backing. Vernon ought to repeat and again . win the pennant. Were baseball a eport in which the vicissitudes played a less important role one might feel Justified in predicting this without reservations. But in the light of the upsets that occur in the national eport there Is no such animal as eure thing until the race is run. Should Vernon bump into some of the tough luck that has-hit the Port land club. Bill Essick's crew might hit the chutes and do a regular humpty iumpty tumble. Johnson To Be Recalled. Walter McCredie announced yester day that he intends to recall Pitcher Sylvester Johnson and. Catcher Mc Mullen from the Pacific International league as soon as Us season ends in September. San Francisco also in tends to pull the strings attached to Pitcher Bert Cole of the Tacoma club. Cole may be of help to the Seals in the closing weeks of the campaign. The acquisition of First Baseman Hasbrook should further strengthen the San Francisco club. Since Koer- nr quit the club the Seals have been woefully weak at the initial sack. yesterday was pay day for the Portland Beavers and the judge wore a broad smile when he passed out the precious slips of colored paper.

New Master Comes From Stadium in Tacoma Where He Taught and Coached for 6 Years. Lincoln high school athletes will be coached this year by Maurice E. Post, former Michigan intercollegiate athletic Etar and coach from Kala mazoo college at Kalamazoo, Mich., and erstwhile coach, professional baseball player and basketball and football official in various cities of the northweat. Mr. Post, who has been teaching, coaching and officiating for the last six years at the Stadium high school in Tacoma, was elected to handle the cardinal and white teams, at a meet ing of the school board in June, and his acceptance was received from Tacoma by the board yesterday.

Captain X had taken with him a liberal supply of Pall Mall famous cigarettes (plain ends). By the time he landed they were gone. "Over There" he couldn't have a favorite brand. But the cigarettes he was lucky enough to get had one feature that gave him a big idea. They were round and smoked freely. Back in America once more the Captain came and gave .us his idea, a big idea. He suggested that we make Pall Mall cigarettes round in shape, loosely rolled and plain end a cigarette that does not have to be tapped, squeezed or loosened, a cigarette with a free and easy draught, A cigarette made from the famous Pall Mall blend of 42 Turkish tobaccos chosen for richness and delicacy of flavor, In the new foil package with a patented opening tab, . 20 Pall Mall Rounds plain ends 30 cents "THEY ARE GOOD TASTE PLAIN OR CORK IN BOXES ilTumfrlhriir, rmWfc iKiiSrfc have an instructor who has left his mark on the Michigan intercollegiate gridiron, who has had wide experience in baseball and who more recently has been one of the favored officials for basketball, football and baseball interscholastic contests in the Puget sound country. Poet is a husky individual who got his high school football training with "Boss weeks, famous Univer- ity of Michigan quarterback who starred in the days of Willie Heston. He entered Kalamazoo college, and made halfback the first year, hold ing the position throughout his four years at the college, and also play ing on the basketball and baseball teams. In his second year on the Kalamazoo gridiron he won fame at his alma mater by smashing through Michigan's line to within ten yards of the goal line, taking the ball closer under the shadow of the goal of the university champion team than it was carried by any other player that season. In his final year at Kalamazoo, 1906 and 1907. Post was both player and coach, having charge of football, baseball and basketball.

Seattle, that year. In 1911 he went to "Walla Walla where he taught at the Walla Walla high school for several terms and took a shot at professional baseball by play ing as backstop on the Walla Walla Bears of the old Tri-State league. In 1913 he caught for the Baker City team of the same league. In 1914- Post went to the Stadium high school in Tacoma, where he has remained until the present, teaching the sciences. For four years he was coach of the Stadium baseball team, but two years ago quit the coaching game at Stadium to spend his spare time officiating at football, basket ball and baseball contests between the various high schools of the Puget sound district. In that capacity Post has held sway over scores of gridirons, diamonds and basketball floors, and has been more in demand, perhaps, to handle interscholastic games than any other official In that section. With his coming to Lincoln high this fall Post will return to the coaching game. In addition to being in charge of ath letics at the local high school he will teach biology. $39,000 PURSE CP FOB HORSES $10,000 Stake for 2:12 Trotters, 2 0 Events on Grand Circuit Bill.
