ART DEvL|N
MAKES BOW
TODAY
Fans Will Get Their First
Peek at New Manager
of Oakland Club

The Oaks will be back with us
again today, as they are scheduled
| to play the Angels a series of seven
| games. With the transbay club will
| be Arthur Devlin. who has been en-
gagged to manage the Oaks during
next season.
| Many of the fans have heard and
read great deal about Devlin, but
| they have never had the opportunity
| to see him. He was a member of Nc
Graw's club. and few years ago was
considered star in the National
| league.
| 1t is not expected that Devlin will
take any active part in the manage
| ment of the club until next season.
when he will be handed the reins.
The series here this week has no
bearing on any position in the race.
The Oaks are in last hole and there
is no chance for them to get out of
it, while the Angels are certain to
finish next to last.
This will be the Seals last week on
the road. They meet the Wolves for
the second straight series, the games
to be played in Sacramento. and it is
very likely that a continuation of the
hard fought series that marked the
work of the clubs in this city last
week will be witnessed by the fans of
the capital city.
The fight between the Seals and the
wolves is sure to be keen. The latter
club is struggling to retain it's place
in the first division, while the Seals
are trying had to get out of the ruck.
But four games separate the Seals and
the Wolves and three weeks of the
season still remain.
Howard has a chance of landing in
second place. Venice is but five games
in front of the Seals, and the race for
first division places during the re-
naming three weeks of the Pacific
Coast league series promises to be
interesting.
The Beavers will finish the next
three weeks OF the series on the road.
They open up in the south against
Venice this week. The northerners
have strangle hold on first place,
but Happy Is still fighting. as he is
after second place. Sacramento is
pressing him for second honors and
the Seals are also threatening.
The Beavers come here next week
to play the Seals and they will finish
the last week of the series at Sacra-
mento against the Wolves.
Jimmy Johnston will be forced to
step along some if he expects to
break the base stealing record es-
tablished last season by Hap Myers.
who stole 116 bases while playing
wit hthe Spokane club.
Johnston has stolen 109 sacks and
he has three weeks left to steal eight
more, which will give him the rec

Local football fans think a great
piece of work has been done when q
man kicks for touch and gains, say,
rs yards. Touch kicking is overdone
by local footballers. and such kicks
are not always the advantage the
bleacherites think they are. Keep a
close tab on the New Zealanders, and
you will see that their kicks for
touch are about two to every six of
the local players. This touch kick
ing slows down the game and only
on. rare occasions improves the posi-
ton Of team.
New Zealanders never pile UP
mound of dirt for the placing of the
ball for a kick at goal. On the con-
trary, the visitors want the ball as
close to the surface as possible and
