The play-off series for the league
championship between the Founda

second half Is already being talked
of around the shipyards. Many of
the followers of the game believe
that Foundation will win the series

Billy Speas' FoundaUon club of

the season by defeating the "fodd

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
