To TRY FOR
SECOND PLACE
The Los Angeles Team, in Third Po-
sition, viii Endeavor to Over
come Lead of Their
Opponents

Only one week remains for the Pa
cfic coast league clubs to fight for
second place in the league standing.
Portland has had first honors cinched
for quite q while and the remaining
teams are running a hot race for the
second position.
Just at present Seattle is number two
with the Angels but one place below
them. The series during the coming
week will determine just who will wind
up in second place.
Out of 175 games played Los Angeles
won ninety-two and the remaining
eighty-three were lost. From 175 games
that Seattle has played ninety-four of
them were won and the other eighty
one lost. Los Angeles must win four
games out of the six to capture sec
ond place, and Judging from the man.
ner in which the team is playing now
it will not be difficult to do this.
With Dillon, Bernard and Eager back
in the game and few of the amateurs
dismissed there will be small poSSi-
bility for Los Angeles to lose San
Francisco is fourth in the list but
neither of the teams have anything to
fear from that quarter.
Below them come Oakland, and
Fresno brings up the rear. The first
game will be played Tuesday and Los
Angeles will make a strong stand to
prevent Seattle from running away
with the second place.
Moore, semi-profeSsional, is at
third for Los Angeles as Gochnauer is
still disabled and will be unable to play
with Los Angeles in the opening game
with Seattle.
Randolph. the best twirler that Los
| Angeles possesses, is now in good con-
dition and will be one of the strong
features during the week. Judge Ma
gle although he played short stop yes
terday, is still suffering from the in
jury sustained to his knee some time
ago. This will keep him out of the box
and more than likely Burns or Berg
man will pitch the first game
Seattle has just finished a series of
! six games with Fresno. where the
Siwashes ran away with the honors
from the Raisin Eaters. Los Angeles
lost three out of the six games played
here, the first one being a tie.
From the opening of the season there
has been no chance of Portland's being
overtaken, and Seattle, Los Angeles
and San Francisco have been wrestling
for second place, with Oakland and
Fresno fighting to see which will be
tailenders.
The work done by Carlisle during the
last week is nothing short Of marvel
GUS, as lew IedllZS LIlSiI uG was lOS-
sessed of such hitting qualities. He
has struck out several times but his
batting was by far the best of any man
on the team.
Wednesday he banged the ball out
in right field under the bleacherS and
made a homer. In the same game he
made a three base hit. AS for fielding
his position out in left there is no one
who can surpass him except Bernard,
who has had a little more experience
Friday he singled twice and doubled
once. He was the only man on the
Los Angeles team to double, but Irwin
did the same for San Francisco which
was the only double beside the one
made by Carlisle.
With the close of the season so near
at hand and Los Angeles standing well
and in good condition to put up a
strong battle for the second place,
baseball enthusiasts are anticipating
one of the best exhibitions of courage
and pluck that has ever been shown on
Los Angeles baseball field for many a
day.
