and occasionally dare to say they have a
chance for the pennant. The Examiner
says:

Henly matched than are the Caliiornians and
/ 0fegonians. it is simply toss-up for choice

The Chronicle has the following notes
ibout the teams and players:

Winning the coast championship unless the
San Joses develop still better eye. The teams

FEY expect TO strike him ont every time.
