lineup yesterday, taking Fisher off
first and substituting Kitty Brashear
because Kitty is better batter. Kitty
did nicely on the job and drove in one
of the two runs scored by Vernon.
Lindsay was moved a peg down the
batting list. Burrell is hitting beauti-
fully now and IL Hap would shake up
his batting list so that Bur and one
other heavy sticker would fit along
about half way down the list he might
be able to change his luck. A good,
safe batter sandwiched in among the
weaker ones sometimes does a lot OF
good business at critical stages of a
game.
Frisco and Vernon wind up their
series today with the usual double
header and the fans should turn out to
both games in goodly numbers. Hap
may pitch Carson this morning, but
whether he does or not he will use
him in one of the games. with Schafer
or Hensling in the other. Mohler
probably will use Willis and Miller.
Both games should be worth seeing.
The crowd at the game yesterday
afternoon was nearly as big as that
which turns out Sunday afternoons and
proves that despite the long losing
streak of the Villagers the team still
is a big attraction. Frisco won the
series, but Hogan expects to cop off
the double header today and every
faithful fan should be on hand to root
for the home team to make a good
finish in the series.
McCarey may be able to land the
Moran-Attell third scrap in the event
Abe is willing to try on his British
rival again. Frisco does not want any
~ fl,.a
northern docket is well filled at this
time, anyway. Abe has been away
from Los Angeles for quite a long
time and would be quite an attraction
here with Moran, as Los Angeles fans
always have wanted to see him whip
ped, but never could find the scrapper
to do it. Moran stands the best show
and for that reason the card should
draw we'll here.
Racing ended yesterday at Emery
willie and Churchill Downs and opened
at Montreal. Tomorrow the bush sea-
son opens at Salt Lake City for
forty-day grind and Latonia starts
upon a thirty-day session. The inter-
esting feature of Mondays racing will
be the Latonia derby, while the In
augural handicap at Salt Lake City
will claim the attention of western
sports. Salt Lake City starts off this
season under most auspicious circum-
stances, and 1t is hoped by all lovers
of the thoroughbred that these aus
picious circumstances will not turn
out to be suspicious ones. If the Salt
Lake management will mangle few
crooks who formerly had too much to
say about how things We're to be run
there some clean sport is sure to be
the reward, but there are two especial
marks at the meeting who should be
canned quickly and not allowed on the
grounds. One of them owns string
of horses and the other makes a louise
book.
Joe Conley and Marty Kane returned
last night from San Diego. where
Kane broke his hand for the second
time on Gene McGovern in their sched-
uled twenty round scrap Friday night.
The second fracture is worse than the
original and will put Marty on the
shelf for six months or year at least.
Marty broke the hand in the fourth
round and went eight more rounds
with only his left to defend him from
the tough nut in front of him. When
the fight was stopped the fans ap-
plauded the game little scrapper for
going as long as he did against the
great odds that handicapped him.
McGovern must have had a horseshoe
again, as up to the time of the acci-
dent he was badly beaten fighter,
and it looked like cinch that he
would be stopped in half the distance
1t is only another case of bum light
er winning out over a scrapper of
class, like selling platter sometimes
beats a stake horse.
