SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 2G.-While officials of the Western League are blaming the automobile for the reduced attendance at the baseball games. and the consequent hard fin anrial conditions, the Pacific coast league is going merrily along with the season of 1916 as the best in it's his tory in point of the attendance.
 Denver, once almost the backbone ot the western league as far as heavy gue receipts were concerned, is said to be tuning in d heavy loss this seq son and it seems to be certain, ac- cordng to report, that not a town on the circuit is making anything this year
 According to Hughey Jones, the man who bought James McGn's team in Denver, the automobile is unqualified, ly to blame He says:
 "Hmdreds of baseball fans who used to be counted on regularly in Denver to he in the grandstand with the best seats never come any more investigated and found that they were the owners of new machines. and when they have an afternoon off they take their families or a party oi friends out on a trip in the mountains They have lost interest in baseball in the new interest they feel in tho new machine.
 Further than this, the high cos of gasoline has put heavy tax ol the former fans resources and he doe not feel like going to baseball games There is too much gas to buy"
 On the other hand, President Baum of the Pacific Coast League, is al thority for the statement that up { fine present the attendance at ReCr, alton Park, the local home or the Sa Francisco baseball club, has approx mated 12OO00 persons more than la season. Every club but one on tf circuit is playing to more money ar better crowds than at any time in history. The Portland. club treasul is not as full as it might be becaui earlier in the season some days we lost owing to rainy weather.
 It is admitted, however, that u Los Angeles club might be makil

Major Colin G. Ross, secretary of the Coronado Country Club, who has just returned from Narragansett Pier, R L, where he attended eastern polo matches, predicts the Pacific coast will see the best polo season in it's history next year
 According to Major Ross, a com plete team with all English ponies will be here ready to begin play on January 1, and will remain three months The ponies. twenty-five of them, will arrive here in November from England, and will include some of the Bidding ponies, famous English polo mounts On the English team are to be two Balding brothers. w.
 BaIding and his brother; J. Gragge, and possibly Mir Jackman, or s third Ralding for the fourth man.
 This Is the polo team, the goals of the men aggregating about twentysix.
 w. Balding is an eight goal man and
 has been playing in the east for sev-
 eral years, and is considered equal to
 any international player. His brother j. is a six goal man. as are Gragge and
 Jackman. They have been playing
 this summer at the Point Judith Club
 at Narragansett Pier. The team twice represented England in America.
 Another interesting item of news , that Major Ross brings is that F. Hop r ping, who has managed the Aiken Polo
 Club for two years, is coming to Coro l nado as assistant polo manager with D Major Ross. He will bring with hin
 a high goal polo team of eastern men f whose handicap is twenty goals. an' , a low goal team eligible to play fl 8 the junior championships here. ;. With Hopping will be at least si'
