COAST LEAGUE FANS
WONDERING WHAT WILL
HAPPEN NEXT SEASON

Fans in the various Coast League
cities are beginning to wonder about
baseball next year. The fact of the
matter is, nobody knows, not even the
magnates themselves. what the pros
poets are for next year. It is safe to
say that the Pacific Coast League
clubs will have baseball, but this
much is certain, the standard of base
ball in the far West will be consider
ably lower than it has been this sea-
son if the war continues, writes Ross
Miller in the Salt Lake Telegram.
Several of the players now drawing
salaries from Murphy. Ewing, Nc
Creole ct al. are ready for the scrap
heap, and then again, several of them
are. talking of going to war and no
doubt several of them will walk up
to the recruiting station and sign up
with Uncle Sans league without
waiting to be drafted.
Word comes from Los Angeles that
at least six of Ki1lifer's squad will be
shou1dering the musket shortly after
the close Of the season. The boys
don't want this known, but it is,
nevertheless straight goods. Togther
| with the men who will be called, one
can expect to see many vacant posi-
tons to be filed in the rank and file
of the Coast League. Therefore, this
brings the magnates to the necessity
of building up from the semi-pro
ranks and the amateur ranks pro-
vided this talent is under the draft
age. This can be done, and a good
brand of baseball given the fans, pro-
vided the magnates go about the
| thing in the right way.
The hands of the minor leagues
are practically tied by the conditions
I they cannot control, and for this rea-
son 1t is probable that the season OF
1918 will see few, if any, minor
leagues in operation. Should these
conditions prevail it is believed that
| the rest given the minor league tern
| tories would bring the game back
with loud hang the following year.
The club owners and board members
feel that the players. fully realizing
| the unusual conditions caused by the
| war, will gladly and willingly CO.
operate.

BULCARS EXPECT
DEATH If TAKEN
AS PRISONERS
Have Been Taught by Ger
mans That British Sol
diers Give No Quarter

London, Oct. 9.-As evidence that
the Germans have taught the Bulgar-
ians that their lives will be forfeited
If they are taken prisoner by the Bri-
fish, the following extract from a let
ter by British officer on the Salon
Xxi front is published by the Daily
Telegraph
+, When we rounded up sixty Bull
garians in an attack recently the poor
Wretches were utterly terrified. Two
or three tried to drown themselves in
pool, while others knelt on the
ground making the sign of the cross
and waiting an assasins' bayonet
thrust or worse.
Zone who was real sportsman
kept his head and made a desperate
effort to escape, very nearly getting
shot, until he saw it was useless, and
flinging down his rifle. surrendered
Tommy stood watchful1y in case the
Bulgar was up to any nasty tricks,
and the latter seeing this attitude
j, and taking him for his appointed
murderer, with a dramatic gesture
threw back his head and barred his
chest. He opened his shirt with both
hands, then faced the soldier with
the bayonet whom he supposed to be
waiting for the officers word to run
him through.
Surprised Bulgar
i 'Tommy's method OF easing the
tension was rapid. He brought out his
packet of cigarettes and offered one
| to. the Bulgar.
''Up to this moment the Bulgar had
been as brave as a lion, but the offer
/ of the cigarette in place of the end OF
/ the bayonet was too sudden a change
| in his outlook. He gave a gasp and
sat down trembling, unable to light
! the cigarette at the match which the
! soldier was holding ready for him.
