In CHALLENGE RACE

Some exhibitions of speed never
before seen in the northwest are
predicted for Mondays races at the
Tacoma speedway as result of
speed trials by some of the racers
yesterday.
Because all races are much
shorter than the customary long
speedway grinds, there will not
be the necessity of racers conserv-
ing their power in the early
stages, and it is reported that the
drivers are preparing to step on
the throttle and keep it wide open
for the entire distance.
cliff Durant, in his Chevrolet,

interest.

Teams I'm
Coast League, Is
Mercedes Plan

A 12-club baseball circuit, made
up of six California and six North
west cities, is the plan advanced
by Judge McCredie, of Portland,
as a probable solution of the wor-
ries of the Pacific Coast and
Northwestern league bosses for
1918.
Judge McCredie would call the
organization the All-Coast league,
and his plan carries with it a re-
duced schedule for the class AA
cities and about the same number
of games for the Northwestern
league cities as has been the rule
in the past.
San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Oakland, Vernon and Salt Lake
would be the southern end of the
circuit, with Spokane, Portland.
Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver, Butte
and Great Falls in the north.
See Every Team Once.
Twenty-Five weeks of baseball
would be the schedule best fitted
to the circuit, according to the
Portland boss. That length play
ing season would give each city a
chance to see each other club in
the league once during the season,
and would mean that each club
would make but one jump be-
tween Oregon and California.
The southern teams could come
north to play Portland, Seattle,
Tacoma and Vancouver then Jump
to Spokane, Butte and Great Falls,
and from there to Salt Lake on the
return trip to California. The
northern clubs could make the
swing of the circuit by following

Charlie Herzog may not be

He collapsed in the eighth
inning of yesterdays game be-

is believed to have resulted
from injuries received last

Herzog's absence will be

the same plan down south.
MeCredie would set the salary
limit at not more than $4,000 per
month for all clubs, and insist
that the limit was lived up to by
all managers. AS a supplementary
proposition, Judge McCredie offers
the suggestion that the players on
the clubs could take a percentage
of the receipts from all games for
their salaries If they so desired.
Hen Berry Has Suggestion.
Hen Berry, of the San Francisco
club, offers the suggestion that
three leagues be formed in the
Coast and Northwestern cities next
year. Berry would include Vernon,
Los Angeles, Oakland and San
Francisco in one league, Salt Lake,
Butte, Great Falls and Spokane in
another, while the third league
would be made up of Portland, Sc
attic, Vancouver and Tacoma.
These leagues would each play off
a 24-week schedule, after which
the winners OF each league would
meet in California, with another
team added, which would be made
up of the best players from all the
other clubs, and a real champion
ship schedule would be played Off
to decide the gonfalon honors of
the Pacific coast, Northwest and
Rocky mountain district.
Either Of these schemes would
require the cooperation of the
North western league magnates,
and there is little doubt but that
this cooperation could be secured

neeting as they do on paper.
