Gossip of Pennant Race
Seals May Finish Second
BY JOE MURPHY

be the one that will furnish the in
terest and excitement during the re-
naming weeks of the series. Since
the Seals added the two major league
star. pitchers, JEFF Overall and Lefty
Liefield. they have been showing
championship form. and their chances
of dropping in second hole look to
be almost even.
About a game and a half separates
the Seals: and Tigers for second
place. which Is now held by the lat
ter club. Sacramento is less than
two games behind Venice and about
half a game behind the Seals, which
shows how closely these three clubs
are punched. The Angels are about
four. and a half games behind the
Tigers.
Summing up the recent work, of
the contenders for second place. the
Seals look to have an excellent
chance of finishing in q respectable
position. At one. stage of the race
the club looked to be destined to
finish in last. but the acquisition OF
several former major league stars
bolstered UP. the weak spots and
gave the club fresh start.

The Seals will go south this week
to play Venice. and then they return
home for a week. after which they
will be on the road two weeks, meet
Ing Los Angeles and Portland. They
come home again for a week to play
the Wolves. and then depart for their
final road trip. playing Venice and
Los Angeles in the south. The last
week of the season the Seals will
spend at home against Venice.

+ The loss of a game frequently de-
| moralizes club. and this was best
evidenced when the Wolves were
beaten on last Wednesday afternoon
by Portland, In the north, in the
ninth inning. Sacramento had lead
of FIVE runs when the Beavers went
to bat in the last Frame, but the
northerners experienced batting
streak and made six runs.
This defeat simply took the pepper
ont of Wolverton's fighting gang, and
\ they. proved easy for the Beavers.
going down to defeat seven times In
a row and losing whatever chance
| they had OF capturing the pennant.
! Probably, with this victory under
their belt, which was the second of
the series. the Wolves would have
captured a cotpIe of the other games.
| In Saturdays game Wolverton took
out klawitter, In the sixth because he
+ lost confidence in him on account of
his defeat on Wednesday. The Wolves
were in the lead when Klawitter was
removed and Kinsella took up the
Job:
=: The Beavers got TO him and tied up
the score. ktnsella finally tossed off
the game In the eleventh. when he
forced home the winning run by
walking a man. 1t is probable that
! had Klawitter won that Wednesday
afternoons game Wolverton would
have allowed him to stick in the box
IN Saturdays game.

The baseball statisticians and ex-
perts in the east already are pro-
claiming the victories of the New
York Giants in the National league

see any reason why we wild and wool
ly westerners should not show little
nerve and do some forecasting our
selves in regard to our own Pacific

not taking as many liberties in prog

their rights.
Doom declared that in the games
with the Cubs the crowd had filled
practically every scat in the roped of

the game with Pittsburg. he says, the
bleacherites crowded into the forbid
