BASEBALL fans are wondering
why the Farmers didn't make a
better showing against the SolOns
last week. For one reason, the Solons
are a much more expensive team
while Bill Hurley has had some re
spect for the salary limit. In the
second place, Hurley has two or
three players who should be on the
hospital list and, for lack Of sub
stitutes, they have had to continue
in the game A couple Of Hurley's
men, who looked like championship
material the first part Of the season,
are "sluffing off" and viii have to
brace up to hold their Jobs. The
other clubs Will simply have to get
down to the salary limit and when
they get nd of some Of their high
priced stars the Farmers viii be able
to more than hold their own.
COME DAYS ago the writer pre-
- dicted that the Douglas club
would "fnd ITSELF and become dan
gerous TO any other aggregation in
the league. The fact that the
Smeltermen beat the El Paso team
both on Saturday and Sunday in
dicates that they are doing the dis
covery stunt. The MaeEmen are 60

beating.
