AK IS APPLIED IN
CAMP OF SEALS
Heine Zimmerman Released
and Wee Willie McCorry
Is Slated to Go


The Seals. after a disastrous season
on the road. have returned home in
last place. and the hopeful spirit of
the teams admirers. wNch was so
evident just before they left here. has
been sadly crushed In fact. the team
has been going so badly that it looks
to be doomed for a second division
berth for some time.
Manager Del Howard was sadly dis
appointed with the showing of his men,
and when they went down before the
Angels, one team in the league which
he figured to beat, he concluded that
something must be done Immediately.
Consequently. the ak was brought into
play and one head fell into the basket,
while others are expected to fall.
Heine zimmerman, the big outfielder
who led the league in hitting for
time, was given his unconditional re-
lease and Wee Willie McCorry is also
slated TO go.
Whether there are any others sched-
uled for release Manager Howard is
not ready to say at this time.
Howard says that there are going to
be changes and they are to be made
right away.
The pitching department, which fg-
oACN eho tie Wtcbh punt VI liS StuU a.
the outset of the season. is running
right up to its form. The hurlers of
the local squad can not be compared
with the fingers Of the Portland or
Sacramento clubs.
When Lefty Leifield arrives he should
bolster the pitching staff up to some
extent. If the former Pittsburger is
anywhere near the hurier he was
couple of seasons back, he will be of
great assistance to the local club.
Leifield is expected to arrive the
latter part of the week.
The Seals are about nine games be-
hind the Beavers, and this looks like
a big lead for any club to overcome at
this stage of the season, particularly
when 1t is figured what a grand COM
bination of pitchers the Portland club
has
From the outset Portland figured as
the dangerous team, and though it got
off to a poor start the fans never gave
up hope that the Portlanders would
not eventually be heard from
The battle this week promises to be
interesting, as the Seals will be fight
ing to get out of the cellar. while the
Oaks will endeavor to keep out Of last
place.
Only one game separates the two
clubs and the fight between them
should be highly interesting
The Seals lineup is due for
shakeup. When Outfielder Schaller ar
rives lie will temporarily succeed Bill
Hogan in left The latter is a con-
aistent ball player. and while he is
only hitting at a $50 clip at this stage
Of the season, he figures to pick up
from now on. He is a finished fielder,
and he plays the game intelligently
Schaller is said to be a 500 hitter
If he can maui the ball at this rate
he should prove mighty valuable man
to the local club.
Portland goes south to meet the An
gels and another hard battle should re-
suit. The Beavers have lead of
about two and a half games over the
southern team.
Venice goes to Sacramento to meet

Player May Go TO First in
Any Old Way

CHICAGO, July 2S-An "unwritten
law promulgated by umpires. under
which they declared out a batter who
slides into first base. was upheld to-
day by President Chivington of the
American association on the ground
that the slide to the initial sack
serves no purpose but that of confus-
ing the umpire.
Chairmsn August Hermann of the
national baseball commission, in dis
cussing the "unwritten law of calling
player out who slides into first base.
which was upheld by President
Thomas Chivington of the American
association, today. said 1t was not
only preposterous but directly contrary
to the rule covering the point.
"A player is allowed to reach any
base by running, walkMHk, jumping or
in any other manner as lCSg as he re-
mains within the lines prescribed" said
Mr.. Hermann. This is laid down in

no other club will be restricted to 20
men under similar conditions. accord
ing to A. r. Baum. president of the

the good of the game had been COM
PEELED to sign an extra man for emer-
gency use, giving 21 contract players,
including three actual cripples.
