Off Sow Interests The play-off series for the league championship between the Founda tion clubr- and the -winners of the second half Is already being talked of around the shipyards. Many of the followers of the game believe that Foundation will win the series If Canon's tossers are pitted against Ht. Helens in view of the fact that Foundation has three twlrlers, James. Evani and Clow, while St. Helens will have to depend upon Osoar Harstsd to bring home the bacon: The play-off series will begin Saturday, September 7. Sloan Team Wins Third The Sloan team of Olympla an nexed Its third Btraight victory in the Pus;et Hound Shipbuilders' league Sunday, defeating the Duthie team of Seattle by the score of 4 to 1.

The Cornfoot team will play the McCormicfc team on the St. Helens grounds and the Foun dation, club will tackle the Standifer aggregation on the Vancouver grounds. Should McCorjriick beat Cornfoot and Foundation wallop Standifer the title will go to St. Helens, but in the event of a victory for Cornfoot over St. Helens;, "the title will hang in the balance for another week.

Billy Speas' FoundaUon club of Tacoma annexed its first victory of the season by defeating the "fodd team of Seattle by the score of 5 to 3. Reuther pitched for the Todd team and despite the fact that he made three two baggers himself, his teammates were unable to circle the bags, 10 of them being left on. Salt Lake Flayers Leave j Buddy Ryan. Ed Willett, Mike Konnlck and Joe Dunn, former Salt Lake players, who were working at the St, Helens yard, have Joined the North Pacific yards at Seattle. Herb Murphy, manager of the Patterson-McDonald team, was in Port land last week, trying to secure the services of these players. Toledo is the seventeenth city awarded membership in the grand circuit which was organized In 1872, and annually brings together the best of the light harness performers in trotting and pac ing races at a mile. IT'S a funny thing, but these four rounders never seem to realize that there might be a limit to the number of bouts in which they engage during the week, says the San Francisco Ex aminer. Some of them would fight eight nighte in the week, and then won der why. on the eighth night, they were a bit weary. Take Georgie Brandon, for example. He bxed at Mare Island Monday night, at Oakland for the Shipbuilders Tues day night and at Dreamland Friday night. He was not among those present at the Association club Wednesday night, just why no one seems to know. And naturally enough, on -Friday night he was slow. Little Danny Edwards, giv ing away pounds, .danced in and out and whammed Georgie in the face almost at will, whereas Brandon should have-won by a comfortable margin. The same, to; a lesser degree, goes for Jlmmie Dundee; J-immie had a tough customer at the shipbuilders' show in Oakland Tueaday night, and he put up a hard fight' and won. But he had a still harder task in store in meeting Frankle Farren, and when th. time came he could not deliver with hla usual speed. Too much is more as plenty some times. Promoters are cooking up the stew for Labor day and by the looks of things the following Portland boxers will be Been in action: Muff Bronson, 1. w. champion, vs. Franklie Tucker of Seattle at Everett, 10 rounds ; Jimmy Darcey vs. Steve Reynolds of Seattle at Aber deen, 10 rounds ; Clair Bromeo vs. Sol dier Haggerty. at Newport, Blx rounds. Kid Cotton, who , wiahes to busy him self Labor day, instead of taking a reBt, is wanted at Aberdeen, and Ray Leonard may be his opponent, if the medal is large enough.
