Rumler's Stick Helped Bees and Little Evidence of Throwing Games
Can Be Found by Scanning Official Box Scores.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
N view of the notoriety that has
been aroused over the Vernon
versus Salt Lake series In the
closing weeks last year, a review of
the work of Players Rumler, Maggert
and Dale of the Salt Lake club Is of
interest. During the last three weeks
Vernon played Salt Lake twice first
at Salt Lake, where the Bees won four
and lost four and the next week In
Los Angeles, where Vernon won four
games out of five, while Los Angeles
was trimming Seattle six straight.
1-.OS Angeles entered the final week
againBt Vernon leading two and one
half games and with a percentage of
bis to Vernon a .03.
Knmtrr'B Bat Brines Runs.
In the final Vernon-Bee double-
header at Salt Lake on Sunday,' Sep
tember 21, the- Bees won two games,
7-0 and 6-4. In the first game Rum
ler hit safely five consecutive times.
while Maggert got two in five official
times at bat. In the second game
Rumler bagged two hits In four trips
and Maggert one in five.
Two days later the teams opened
in Los Angeles and the Associated
Press account of the game shows
that it was Rumler's single in the
seventh that won the game for Salt
Lake, 3-2. Rumler scored the win
ning run. Maggert went hitless in
four trips against Ross.
Pitcher Dale twirled for the Bees
the next day and Vernon won, 6-2,
Dale allowing nine hits. Rumler got
one hit in three trips and Macgert
went hitless.
Tla-era Thorn Injured.
Up to this time it Is apparent that
Bill Rumler was quite a thorn in the
side of the Vernon Tigers. If any
William H. McCarthy, president of
the league, yesterday in a telegram to
William Klepper, president of the
Seattle club. Mr. McCarthy said In
his wire that detectives working
under his supervision had uncovered
evidence that the men have been
gambling on the baseball games.
The men are James Ball. Lou Fin

money chanod hands between the
gambling rins and Rumler, via Babe
Borton, the deal must have been
cooked up on the nisht of Septem
ber 24, for Rumler played only one
game the rest of the week. This was
on September 25. when Rumle- missed
three drives to right field in the first
inning and gave Vernon three runs.
Vernon won the game, 8-2. Maggert
got two hits In four trips. The As
sociated Press spoke of Rumler as
having an injured foot and he did not
appear in a box score the rest of the
week.
The Tigers won on September 26
by a score of 16 to 1, getting nine
runs off Spider Baum -in three inn
ings. Maggert went hitless although
there was no reason for him to "pull"
with his club nine runs ahead at the
Jump.
Rain postponed the Saturday game
but the Tigers won two on Sunday,
4-3 and 2-0. Maggert bagged one hit
in each game and finished the series
with a batting mark of .166. His
season's mark was .274.
Founder Is Series "Goat."
Th schedule for the next week
brought the Angels and Tigers to
gether for the pennant and the Tigers
defeated the Angels uix games of the
seven, capturing the bunting. The
"goat" of the series was Jack Four
nier, Los Angeles f irst-sacker, who
had been the offensive tower of the
Angel club all year. Fournier hit
only .227 for the final week and the
Angel fans "panned" him so unmerci
fully that he announced he would not
play ball in Los Angeles in 1920.
Curiously, the Angels got a chance
to sell Jack to the majors and he is
claying with the St. Louis club.
Fournier's name has not appeared
