White Sox and Giants Look
Best, Says D. |. Wilmington
Local Attorney and Baseball Enthusiast Believes McGraw and
Rowland Will Fight Out for Honors in Big Seres-Says
Eddie Collins is Weak Spot on White Sox Team Athletics
Have Real Baseball Team Ready to Give Battle to Others

"McGraw's team and the White Sox
look the best in the two major
leagues" said D. L. Wilmington. an
authority on baseball, who recently re-
turned from the mainland. Wtthing-
ton is one Of Honolulu's best fans,
and he has followed the game closely
for years. He knows the names OF
practically every player in the big
leagues, and on his trips to the main
land always makes 1t point to visit
the various ball diamonds.
"McGraw has a great team with
many stars, but still the Giant organ
ization does not look as strong as the
old Athletics or Cubs. There is some
thing about their play that leads one
to believe that they may crack at any
time. Contrary to the belief Of many,
they have good pitching. and the in
field and outfield is living up to
form, but If there is any weak spot
it is in the catching department.
Giants Favorites
MCCARTHY is doing we'll. but Rari-
den hardly measures up to the first
standard Holke at first base is play
ing a nice fielding game, but has not
been hitting so we'll. New York should
win the pennant with everything
equal, with Philadelphia and Cincin-
natl possible contenders. Chicago
doesn't look like a winner.
"Roush and Groh of Cincinnati are
playing great ball for Matty. Alexan-
der has been pitching good ball, but
Rixey is the only other pitcher living
up to expectations. Still Philadelphia
should be in the running for the one
two-three positions st. Louis Is con-
sidered to be strong also.

COASTERS HAVE
THEIR TROUBLES
TBy Associated PreSs1

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 10
While baseball followers on the Pa
ecific coast believe that the local
HAGUE will be able to continue its
schedule to the close Of the present
season, the fate OF a number OF the
lesser organizations Of like character
throughout the country makes the
future uncertain. 1t is known that
the Portland club has been having a
hard time to make both. ends met,
dine to a combination Of bad weather
and Indifferent attendance. Vernon
also is said to be slipping along ON
thin ice.
Under the circumstances it would
not come as a surprise If the an
nouncement were made any day that
the circuit had been reorganized ana
the games for the remainder OF the
season played in some other town
than the two mentioned. Because OF
the interest which attaches to teams
well ND In the percentage column and
which have q chance to be in at the
finish for the honors, the San Fran
cisco and Salt Lake teams, which
stand first and second respectively,
have Jared better than the majority
of the clubs in the sleague.
Just what cities would get the
games in the event that a shift was
made Is .problematical. Sacramento
"a one of the possibilities but the fact
that II was unable to support a club
IN the past would make the league
officials look for some guarantees
that the transfer would not involve
them in any additional financial loss.
The Northwestern League is no ex-
ception to the rule Of hard times and
the chances appear to be that its
schedule vii be materially shortened
That age Is no bar to participation
in golf again has been demonstrat-
ed when c. s. Archer Of Glendale,
California, an so year old veteran OF
the game, turned in the best card for
the first day of play in a Red Cross
tournament held at the municipal
links at Los Angeles recently. Archer
a. a constant player and is one Of the
familiar figures on the links. Further
more. he il, rated as among the best
ten players in the city who make
use of the course. He usually plays
nine holes, but during the tourna-
ment had no difficulty in negotiating
the fun Is holes.
Rudolph Wilhelm, who won the
amateur golf championship of the
Pacific Northwest June 80, occupies
hts time, when he is not on the links,
in superintending baggage moving
and freight hauling, as he Is the
