GOOD OUTLOOK
At UPS. FOR
1912

Football practice at the U. p.
s. will begin by the last of the
coming week. G.. Leonard Pitch
ford, the new coach of the eleven,
arrived from Minnesota a few
days ago.. and Is busy mapping
out the course of the football
trend at the local university.
Coach Pitchford has coached
some of the high school teams in
Minnesota and was formerly a
member of the University of Ne
braska eleven. The last two
years he has spent as teacher of
chemistry at the "U." of Mime
sofa.
Pitchford expects to have prac-
tically the entire 1911 team back
and may have a number of new
men. The team will have a
heavy schedule and one of the
prime requisites will be condi-
ton. Here is list of the men
who will return: Beck, O'Hearn,
Arthur Smith, Donald Smith, Am
old Tisch, Alfred Tisch, Webb,
Servis, Wright, Benadom, Gra-
ham, Ed Gebert, Wesley Gebert.
Among the probabilities are Joe
Bonds and Sam Max, the latter
captain of last years team. All
these men played a good game
last year and should make a bet
ter showing this year.
1.-THE only game am worried
about is that with Washington. /
know Gil Dobie," said Coach
Pitchford.
Spirit and attendance have
been lacking in the past and the
new coach Is going to make a
hard try to remedy this.
An effort will be made to have
the north end of the fence moved
back as far as the boys dormi-
tory, adding a much needed piece
of ground to the gridiron.

ONE MORE GAME in
TACOMA--ONLY ONE

Consulting what the league d.
rectors might choose to call a
schedule, 1t appears that there is
a possibility Of one more game in
Tacoma this season. There prob
ably would be no more were it
not for Umpire day next Sunday.
Tacoma is getting tired of base
ball as run at present. Inciden-
tally the fans who bought sea-
son tickets ought to be taken into
consideration.
After prospects of great sea-
son, the club had to be shattered
by incompetent management. The
team began to fall and the at
tendance began to fall off. This
was also due to some extent to
the split series. Tacomas home
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-09-09

comings were few and brief.
And still the fans are expected to
support the team. Added to
these conditions it is the regular
stunt to drop all the good ex-
perienced men and prepare for the
coming season before the present
one is we'll under way. And when
the coming season becomes the
present season it's the same old
stuff, content to stick in the cell
lar and to help certain league
leaders in order to prepare for the
next year.
With such mix, Tacoma is
glad to see the season end. AM
other season like this would just
about drop baseball into the
morgue in this city.

BOSTON--Practically certain

league Boston's Red Sox today are
fighting just as hard as though
the flag were yet In dispute. The
main ambition OF Jack Stahl's
men Is to create new league rec
ord for the number of games won
In a. season. The record is now
held by The Athletics who won 102
games In 1910. Boston has al
read won 92 games this year, and
