Los Angeies waa in total runs scored, and second to Ver non in holding opponents to few runs. A in Salt Lake's first year In the Coast League, so again this year Salt i Lake figured in the games in whlcn there was the most scoring. For Salt Lake not only scored more runs than any other club, but more runs were scored against Salt Lake than against any other club. The tailend Oakland club was second to Salt Lake in total runs scored by opponents, and was last in total runs scored by clubs. Of the 4909 runs scored during the league season. 1885 were scored in games in which Salt Lake figured; 959 runs were scored by Salt Lake and 9-6 runs were scored against Salt Lake, this being the only club in either of these ratings to pass the 900 mark. In five instances did the season totals show a club scoring more than 200 runs against another club; two of these cases were against Salt Lake, Los An geles scoring 216 runs against the Bees and Vernon scoring 208 runs against them. The other three cases were by Salt Lake against other clubs. Salt Lake scoring 210 times for the season against Oakland, 208 against San Fran cisco and 202 against Portland.

MAIER Only 22 games were decided by l-to-0 scores in the 1916 Coast League season, and of these 22 five pitchers hogged the honors of winning half of them. Crandall, of Los Angeles and Oakland, was the King of the l-to-3 pitchers for the season, winning one of these tight sessions from Los Angeles while he was with Oakland, and then win ning two more when he Joined Los An geles, one.from Salt Lake and one from San Francisco. No other pitcher won more than two of the l-to-0 games, and Zabel. of Los Angeles; Prough, of Oakland; Steen and Baum. of San Fran cisco, were the only pitchers who could win two. Los Angeles topped the list with seven wins and only three" defeats by l-to-0 scores, Zabel and Crandall each winning two; Horstman, Standridge and Hall each winning one. San Fran cisco won six and lost five, Steen and Baurn each won two. Brown and Couch each won one. Oakland won five and lost three of the l-to-0 sessions, Prough winning two; Crandall, Martin and Burns each one. Sothoron was the only Portland pitcher to win a l-to-0 game, but Portland's two defeats by l-to-0 scores were the fewest of any of the clubs. Vernon was the heaviest l-to-0 loser, winning three and losing six. Fromme, Decanniere and Quinn each winning one. Salt Lake did not win a l-to-0 game during the year and was beaten thr'; times by that score. l-t-0 Games Tabbed.

Of tha 16 pitchers who were found for more than five home runs during the season Oakland, Salt Lake and San Francisco each had four, but one of .Salt Lake's four was an heritage from Oakland, Klawitter being hit while with Oakland for four of the ten home runs with which he is charged. Three Portland pitchers were hit for more than five home runs; Zabel was the only Los Angeles pitcher in this class, and no Vernon pitcher allowed more than five home runs, Fromme being the only one to allow that many. Twelve home runs were made oft Prough. of Oakland, more than .were made off any other pitcher in the league. Of these San Francisco bat ters drove out five, Los Angeles three, fait Lake two and Portland and Vernon one each. Eleven home runs each were made off Sothoron.

CALDWELL BEATS BOISE, J 2-7 Fumble Recovered Behind Goal Nets Score In First Minute. CALDWELL. Idaho. Nov. 4 fSne clal.) Fighting an uphill game, Cald well High defeated Boise High to day 12 to 7 in one of the best games of the season in the first minute of play. Boise recovered a fumble behind Caldwell's goal line and kicked goal. A versatile attack netted Caldwell a touchdown in the second quarter, but it failed to kick goal. In the fourth period Cook, Caldwell fullback, negotiated a kick from place ment from the 40-yard line, and a few minutes later dropklcked from the 30 yard line. Cook, Idenberg and Con ners shone brilliantly for Caldwell. The elimination of Boise gives Caldwell un questioned title to the Idaho scholastic championship. . Keen Fan Has Other Interests De manding Attention, Although Rumor Has It Ho Intends to Invest in Majors. With the announcement that tha Ver non club is to change hands, the Port land and Salt Lake clubs alone retain the distinction of remaining under their original ownership. While the Vernon club has had two different men at its head, prior to this time ii has been in the Maier family continuously. When in the Winter of 1908 it was decided to give Los Angeles continuous baseball by taking in Sacramento and placing a team in Vernon, thereby creating a six-club circuit, it was agreed to present the franchise to the late Fred Maier. Also, it was tacitly agreed that the other clubs should turn over enough players to enable the "baby" team to Plate a full club in the field. The Los Angeles team turned over three men, but was the only one to respond. Maier Thorough Fan. Fred Maier did not claim to be a practical baseball man. but was a thor ough fan. He offered to finance the Vernon team. A fine mixer, and recog nized all along the Coast as a big, broad-minded sportsman, his selection as head of the new club was extremely popular. And his club soon enjoyed an equal popularity, not only here, but throughout the circuit. Soon after the team was well on its way Fred Maier died and Ed R. Maier found himself a baseball mag nate. Although having a keen interest in the game, and a player in both high school and college, he had not Intended to interest himself in the game as an owner, and at that time other interests demanded his attention to such a large extent that he left the affairs of the club largely to Happy Hogan. Team Often In Running. However, his purse was freely opened, and to Hap was given prac tically carte blanche In conducting the team. Only in the past two or three years has Maier taken an active per sonal interest in the team. Baseball with him was a hobby or recreation, rather than a business. He spent a fortune in endeavoring to build up a winner, and three times missed the pennant by only a narrow margin. This year many critics rated his team as the best in the circuit, but it faltered in the stretch, something that must be set down as one of the misadventures of baseball. Pressure of other large interests are said to have been responsible for Maier's decision to retire from the game. The announcement that he would sell the club to T. J. Darmody did not come In fhe nature of a sur prise, as it had been reported for sev eral months. in tact, Aiaier seiecteo Darmodj- pome months ago to handle the active business affairs of the club, and it was stated confidentially at the time Maier wanted-to be relieved of all details In connection with it. On a number of occasions Maier s name has been linked with the pur chase of major league property. Whether he still entertains , such thoughts is not known, although It is not believed that his other multi plying interests would Justify him in taking the step at this time. Had he felt that he could devote the neces sary time to the game it is altogether probable that he would have retained the Vernon club, which was in the nature of a family heirloom. George Stanford, a young Los An geles player who has been cavorting around short for the Ruth. Nev., team this year, has been recommended to the Beavers by Charley Chech and may have a trial next Spring. Hannah as one of the catchers. Hannah had a great year and is now one of the best catchers in the league. Earl Sheely is also on the club's list for next year. Bunny Brief will no doubt be on first base again. Gaard Gisla son, the young second baseman ac quired from Spokane .has been playing sensational baseball the last two months, after having got away to somewhat of an Indifferent start. He will at least be a strong con tender for the second-basing Job with anyone who may -be pitted against him. m m m Morris Rath is certain to be a Bee again next year, since his contract with Sant Lake still has a year to run. This contract was taken over by the Mor mons from Kansas City. Billy Orr was used so much In centerfield toward the last part of the year with such remark able success that fans would not be surprised if Bernhard turned Orr into a regular outfielder. The difficulty about this Is that a shortstop must be obtained to take Orr's place. CROSS-COTJXTHY MEN ARE OUT runners at the Oregon Agricultural College have begun a systematic train ing period In preparation for the dual cross-country meet which will be held with a team representing the Univer sity of Oregon on November 25, the day of the football game between the two institutions.

Bernhard's Task Is to Build Up .Flinging Starr for 1917, as His Holdovers Do Not Seem to Carry Winning Ability. SALT LAKE. Nov. 4. (Special.) The 1916 season of the Pacific Coast League was one of uos and downs for Salt Lake. The club, as was tbe case In 1915, experienced much trouble on ac count of a weak pitching staff. Paul Fittery carried the burden of the work from the beginning. Later In the sea son Billy Piercey carae to Salt Lake and proved his worth. Later still Chet Hoff and Rube Evans pitched winning ball for the club. The strength of the Bees as an of fensive organization has been good. The club led the league In club batting for practically the entire season. Some of the success In this respect no doubt was due to the fact that the Bees had 15 weeks on their home grounds, where the collecting of safe hits appears to be beset with much less difficulty than Is the case elsewhere on account of the high altitude. Beea Able to Hit. Whatever the reason, there Is no doubt that the Salt Lake players did hit the ball. It Is amazing to think what would have happened to them had they not possessed this ability. The season closed with Salt Lake having three hitters among the league's lead ing six and another hovering Just be low. The most remarkable part of Salt Lake's work at bat this year has been the astonishing record established by Anthony Brief, the club's first base man. "Bunny" won the distinction of setting a new home-run record for the Coast League. The final week of the season gave Brief six home runs, which made hiB total 33, three more than the previous record of 30. held by Ping O, A. C. Sqnad Is Preparing lor Race With Oregon November 25. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallls. Nov. 4. (Special.) Distance ' Tryouts will be held the week before the meet to determine the quartet to represent the college. Several freshmen notably Paul Scea. of Milton, have oeen running the distance in good time, but the first year men will not be allowed to participate. Yale Wins Cross-Conntry Run. NEW HAVEN, Conn..

One or both may be resecured If they fail to make good. Fittery was drafted by the Philadelphia Nationals, while Piercey gets another chance with the New York Americans. With the exception of Chet Hoff and Rube Evans, none of the Salt Lake pitchers showed the kind of ball that is required in this league. It is true, of course, that neither Park nor Harry Oardner had much of a chance. For next season Manager Bernhard, of the Bees, will have the old reliable , Erlckson. 6.

The Item of chief Interest In the season was the resignation of Clifton D. Blankenship as manager of "-the Saints. Blank was appointed manager when Salt Lake entered the league in 19 IS. Last year he brought a mediocre club up to second place at the finish. When he tendered his resignation six weeks before the clot-e of the season the club was again on a winning gait. This tbey continued for one week and then went into a slump. While some persons may think that the slump was due to the fact that the club was with out a manager, a moment of reflection will, no doubt, alter their opinion. The real reason for the slump was the strength of Los Angeles and Vernon, which teams they met four weeks In a row. On the returning home of the club a month ago Bill Bernhard took charge as manager. Since that time the Bees fairly swept their opponents off their feet. However, these opponents were not Los Angeles and Vernon. It may be well to bear In mind. Bernhard has been signed to a year's contract. It is up to him to strengthen the club for next year's campaign. Owing to his long service in the major leagues as one of the- greatest pitchers that ever heaved a ball. Bernhard has wide acquaintance among the big base ball folks and unquestionably this friendship will stand him In hand when he goes out for players. Checkers f i . ' mmuv ...-.- . ; .

Manager of Los Ar.celes lf.16 champions ct raclflc Ctnst League. LOS ANGELES. Nov. 4 (Special.) It Isn't the easiest thing; in the world to pit back and write the reasons why a ball club, especially a ball club you are connected with, won a pennant I'm glad we won. as glad as I was when the old Cub team won back in the National Leapue, and I worked a hard and worried os much as I did then. In prlvlng: credit to my club it would be bard to pick individual?. The cltiH did not win because of individual ef fort, hut rather h.caii?ie every man .:i the club had the riht prtirit snd played for the team, not for himself and his averages. I doubt if ui-.y club ever won a pennant if t!:e players on ... played for their own averages and not for the club. It takes nine men on the field and every man on the bench, all pulllnir tojrelher, to win a pennant. They iiavx to fight and work together every dn. Thoy have to keep pluKinR and iiftt-r quit or show yellow. Teamwork C'oaata. I was never on a club with a hotter team spirit. The players were for each other, and there was less dissension on our club than on any team 1 ever saw. The players took (rood care of themselves. Lvcry man on the team worked hard, and it didn't lake any driving: 'to make them hustle every step of the way. They did what they were told to do and did It will. Thero are a lot of smart players on the club, and they kept the other clubs cuess lniT all the time. That helps any team a lot. The club didn't stand out In any ono department of play. We fielded fairly well, hit fairly well and had pood pitching the last two-thirds of the sea son. It was the general, all-round ability of the club, rather than any Kreat atrenpth in any one department, that made the Angels a pennant win ner. The srameness of my men did more than anything: else to help us win. They never pave tip, and a lsrpe por tion of our victories came late in the came, when it appeared that we were hopelessly beaten. It takes a same club to go through 30 weeks of play and win out, especially apainst the Btrenpth that the opposing clubs of fered in the Couet League. Coast Strongest Minor League. At the bepinnir.fr of the year I had a club which 1 figured was pood enough to win a pennant In any minor league, but 1 soon found out that the, Coast League was much faster and stronger than any other minor league in the country. It Is 10 per rent stronger than the American Associa tion and fully 20 per cent stronger than the International Leas-- After the first month of tho season I saw that the men 1 had would never be able to win, and it was then that John Powers and 1 ent out to g. t players. The men we pot after Ilia season started fitted in well with the men we had and made the club. We have been criticised for purchasing players late in the season from another club in the league, but that Is base ball business and is the same method that all clubs have used since the game started. If you need men the only way to pet them Is to go out and buy them buy them wherever they are for sale. Any fair-minded fan knows this. The clubs In the Const League play pood baseball, and there are uny num ber of high-class men In me circuit. 1 do not believe that our club was favored by the breaks of the game. We had our share of Injuries and hard luck, but the great spirit of the men overcame all these obstacles and they fought ripht through to the finish and won because they played belter ball and fought harder and outgained their opponents. Jaek ftyan rraiaea. Jack Ryan. Harry Wolter and a number of other boys on thu club stood out prominently in their individual work, but even these men that the fans term the stars of the club were abl to do their good work because they were helped by the splendid all-around teamwork of the other men. So It was the spirit, the pood fellow ship and the unselfish work of the entire club, rather than the work of Individuals, that gave Los Angeles tha pennant of lttlt.
