1t is generally contended that the
teams of the Pacific Coast league, with
the exception Of Portland, will be
stronger next season than they were
during the year of 1918 If this con-
tention proves true. then the race for
the pennant should prove highly ex-

players Manager Del Howard expects
to sign before shouting the cause of
the Seals too loudly
1t seems almost a foregone conclu-
sion that Hap Hogan's club viii be
at least 20 per cent stronger than it
was last year. The addition of Bill
Leard is sure to prove a benefit.
Second base was the weak point of
the Tiger lineup last season, but now

The Los Angeles club will have
some new pitching material that
looks promising, and Berry has hopes
of getting Infielder Joe Berger from
the Chicago White Sox and Inielder
Ray BoIton from the New York Yam

in need of a couple OF good pitchers
The Beavers of last season was one

City Officials Will Make
Fight for Athletic League
BY WILLIAM UNMACK

Retrenchment in the board of edu-
cation will probably mean the hold
ing up OF the good work accomplished
by the Public Schools Athletic league
President A. A. dsAncona of the board
yesterday notified Assistant Athletic
Director George Hammer that re-
trenchment was being considered, and
that 1t was quite possible that for the
next six months at least the work OF
the schools league would have to be
suspended.
The retrenchment will affect nearly
$4,000 boys and girls of the various
grammar schools of the city and the
physical benefits that the league gives
these children is threatened to be dis
continued.
Eustace Peixotto, director of the
Public Schools Athletic league, is at
present in Australia with the ALL
American athletic team.
BOYLE CONDEMNS POLICY
The proposed retrenchment by the
board of education, which will do
away with the work of the Public
Schools Athletic league work, has met
with intense opposition from those
who know the benefits that the league
has given the children.
Thomas F. Boyle, city auditor and
president of the league, said this
morning:
THE proposed retrenchment in the
schools league is a surprise to me.
Though / know the board of educa-
ton has overdrawn its appropriation.
I do not think the good work and
necessary work of the league should
suffer. The league is special benefit
to every boy and girl In school. Bet
sides the physical benefits. 1t also
teaches discipline and tends to make
the children brighter in their studies.
"The board OF education has had
more money this year than ever be-
fore. and had the business affairs
been conducted properly there would
have been ample money to carry on
all the work. The physical benefits of
the children should not be made to
suffer for this lack of business man
agement in the board
ROOs SPEAKS FOR LEAGUE
Robert Roos, one of the originators
OF the league, said this morning:
THE league is one of the greatest
undertakings for the benefit of the
school children of the city, and its
work should be allowed to go on un-
impeded Retrenchment should not
interfere with this physical work of
the child, which Is as necessary as the
mental side of the children's life. A
strong body makes a strong mind
but a strong mind does not make a
strong body
Colonel Power of the board of edu-
cation and member of the directors
of the league said:
This Is all news to me. but it is not
surprising that I have no knowledge
OF the proposed retrenchment. 1 will
