THE PACIFIC COAST RACE.

Likewise last week we published of the championship race on the Pacific Coast. But a fraction of point separated the Vernon and Oak land teams. As this will be off the press before the telegraphic re- turns come in. it will be impossible for the writer to review the season here. but the makeup of the teams, and their mainstays on the slab may prove of interest to the many hun gry fans of the interior
 The regular lineup of the Oakland team, and it's batting order for the last month or so are as follows:
 Leard, 2b.; Patterson, If; Zacher, c. f.; Coy, r. f.; Hetling, 2b.; Cook, s S.; Tiedeman, h.; Mitze, c. Ab- bolt was the utility man.
 Tiedeman. the man now playing the initial sack, Is catcher, but the continued Illness of Bud Sharpe, the Oakland first baseman and manager has caused the versatile Tideman to be shifted to first. Mitze has done all the catching as result of the move. The pitching staff of the Oaks is as follows: killilay, the star of the league; Malarky Ables, Greg ory, Christian, Olmstead and Cy Par kins. The last two have done very little of late, but the first three have been consistent winners.
 Bud Sharpe finds that he cannot stand the climate on the coast, and will probably give up the Oakland team as soon as the season closes. Sharpes loss will be keenly felt. as the former Pittsburg, Boston, Newark and Buffalo first-sacker' has proved himself a capable manager.
 THE VERNON CLUB.
 Hap Hogan's bunch of ball tossers have been promised big barbecue lasting a week and gold medals if they prove theiisei'es pehhdh' "ih ners. They line up as follows:
 Carlisle. l. f. Kane, c. f.; Bayless, r. f.; R. Brashear, 2b.; N. Brashear h.; Litschi, s. s.; Burrell, 3b.: Brown, c.
 Fitzsimmons, Martinke and Hosp were the utility men. Agnew was also first string catcher. The twir- represent his club were Carson Gray, Raleigh. Hit, Castleton. and toward the last of the season, Louis Laudermilk.

 At Suspension Boston Shortst0p Can't See Why President Ward Cut ,
 Salary Off

Boston, April 26-Al Bridwell, the veteran shortstop traded last season by New York to the Boston Braves, hes been suspended by President Ward in a telegram sent on from New York.
 No letter or word of explanation ac- companied the dispatch. which latter proved a great surprise to Brtidwell. Such action was entirely unexpected.

Can Cubs Come
 Back This Year?
Johnny Evers Confident But Experts Doubt if Chances
 Men Can Cop

Whatever may be the sentiment at large concerning the Cubs chances this year, the buoyant spirit of Chances players Is something to admire. It may be just force of habit that makes the Cubs cast longing eyes on another pen nant, but according to Frank Chance, Johnny Evers, Joe Tinker, ct al., Chi cago will be one of the principal char acters in the climax to be staged in October.
 During the winter rumors trickied in to the effect that the Cub machine had cracked and would have to under go term of rehabilitation. T,hese were based oii the fact that the pitch ing staff had given way and that al- made up the once famous club had be- come passe and had been replaced by younger talent. On top of this the opening of the season saw. Mana ger Chance forced to retire from ac- tive playing, breaking upo tnat we'll bination. But hear Johnny Evers on the status of the Cubs:
 "The team looks as good as it did last year." declares the scrappy mid sacker. "and we are still in the pen nant hunt. Zimmerman is filling Chances place in fine shape and hit ting like a demon. Lennox, who takes Doyle's place at third, is playing fine ball and always was a good hitter.
 Our pitching staff can go the route, and don't be misguided. This fellow Larry Cheney looks like another King
 Cole.''
 In addition to this Johnny Evers
 himself is back in fine health. Joe
 Tinker is going along at the same old clip. with his batting eye as accurate as ever, and Jimmy Archer is improv- ing with age, like wine. Regarding Cheney, he has done we'll so far. He beat the Pirates But he is a fragile point on which to pin a hope. | Time will tell the story. July should
 give the Cubs true rating. But in spite of the expressed optimism it Is the general opinion that Chances club will have to be- rebuilt. Mordecai and is now about to be placed on the
 market. The stern fact stands out that the greater part of the players are old as athletes They are not like ly to get any better. And 1t Is be- lieved that there is not enough young
 blood in the Cub makeup to give it new life. The average life of a ball club is five years. The Cubs have gone that limit.

less the police stop him. He and Umpire Red Held could do a dancing act as the Gingerbread Bros, as each has fine crop of auburn tresses. :.
 His Honor, Mayor Wilson, will start the performance promptly at 3:30 by tossing a new white ball in the direc- tion of the plate. Jerry Cornell will not stand at the plate this year.

 Previous to the game there will be an auto parade of the players and club officials through the principal streets. The line will be formed at the Atlantic hotel. Owner John M.

McGinnity May
 Quit Newark Team
Fans Demanding Change in Management in Order to
 Keep Team in Race

New York, April 26-In Newark they are discussing the probability of Manager McGinnity being forced out of the club. It Is asserted that con- siderable friction exists between Mo- Ginnity and his new partner, MT. Sal omon. It is further said that the latter's policy has the endorsement of Charles H. Ebbetts of the Bro0kiyn National league club, who is financial ly interested in the Newark club.
 The fans already are setting up a howl against McGinnity as a manager declaring that Newark is represented by classy enough outfit to make a good showing in the International lea que championship race, provided an- other manager is secured. It is pre- dicted, by those who profess to be In the know, that a change in the man. agerial policy of the Newark club, If not in the management, will be forth coming in a short time.

BATTLING HURLEY WINS
 FROM FRANK LOUGHREY
Battling Hurley

Battling Hurley of Passaic and Frank Loughrey, Philadelphia, were the topliners last night in the Ma tional Sporting Club series of ten- round bouts. The battle between Hur- ley and Loughrey was of the hurri- cane order, each landing innumerable blows which would stop the average fighter of his weight.
 Hurley had the better of the argu- ment, clearly gaining the points in the first. second, fifth, seventh, and eighth rounds. while Loughrey shone to ad- vantage in the third with the others even. The Passaic lad stopped many punches with his glove which he had laid on his jaw whenever Loughrey es- sayed rushing tactics. Hurley made bis Quaker opponent vince several times with the f1erceness of his body attack and had Loughrey backing up most Of the time in the mix-lps. which marked the battle almost from end to end.
