Jimmy McGill's acceptance of chal
Ienges hurled at him by President
Johnny Powers of Los Angeles and
Roscoe Arbuckle of Vernon for a post'
season series in case Indianapolis wins
in the American association and one of
the southern clubs cop out here seem
to have opened the way to biggc
things.
It may result in a post-season series
tnat will establish the Class AA chain
pionship. McGill, president of the In
dianapolis team, says it has been de
cided to play a series between the
champions of the International league
and the American association at the
close of the present season and he be
lieves the winner of this can be in
duced to come to the coast, despite the
fact that both the eastern leagues
passed up the proposition when it was
put to them this spring.
Time Left for Series.
The American association and the
International league wind up their
seasons September 20, and the coasters
finish October 6. The easterners would
play a series of seven games, starting
September 30, and the winner of this
could reach the coast in time to play
off the final round with the coast
champions, beginning October 10.
It is planned to play a nine-game
series. It would take some tall talk
ing, however, to convince McGill that a
trip to the northwest or to Salt Lake
would be profitable on account of the
weather.
Seattle Apparently Ont.
However, this might be done if either
Portland or Salt Lake wins the pen
nant. Seattle is apparently out of the
running.
If Los Angeles, Vernon, San Fran
cisco or Oakland is triumphant five of
the games will be played on the home
lot of the winning team and four in
either San Francisco or Los Angeles.
depending on which team is successful.
If Sacramento should happen to win,
three games would be played there and
a like number in the other two Cali
fornia burgs. McGill seems confident
that the series can be arranged.

Vernon Pacific coast league club,

PLAYERS KICKS MISPLACED
Government Rules t Responsible for
Some Travel Hardships.
Regarding complaints being made by
ballplayers of the Portland. Salt Lake,
Seattle and Sacramento clubs about
having to ride m tourist cars, and
their demand for more than J2.60 a
day for meals. Judge William W. Mc
Credie, president of the Portland base-!
i ball company, clears his throat and
opines that the players have no real
kick coming. .
The players all want lower berths.
Under government ownership no club
can get lower berths for players in a
standard Pullman that is the reason
the players have been riding in
tourist sleepers. The club owners have
to take the trains the government men
tell them to taLo an K K
in the matter, and there are no suclf
things as party rates any more. The "
players should wait until the roads are
in the hands of private owners again
before making their kick.
Connie Mack has to admit that his
judgment was wrong on Fred Thomas
when he picked the former Red Sox
third Backer for his infield to hit.
Thomas has fielded well enough bui
has failed to hit.

Vernon rot Mitchell when the Tan

Hughie Jennings howled for waivers

In his few trials in the big league

mistake in letting him depart. He
was in active army service in France
and did not report until late. He
came direct to the Tigers from camp
and did -not have time to get into
shape. His work is that of a pitcher
who has not yet worked himself into
form. Under southern California's
boiling sun he might be able to regain
his lormer ability as a curver.

about looks like the find of the season.
This is the same youngster who came

After going from Tacoma to Detroit in
the spring of last year he was shifted
to the Southern league.
