COAST LEAGUE GIVES UP
Close Tomorrow-Vernon and Los
Angeles to Play Nine Games
for Title.
BY Ripley.

LOS ANGELES. Cal. July 13.-Direc-
tors and officials of the Pacific Coast
Base Ball League voted last night to
close the present season with the
games scheduled for Sunday in vari-
Gus cities of the circuit.
This statement was given out by
Allen T. Baum. president of the
league: "The Pacific Coast League
directors voted to officially close the
1918 season Sunday. July IA.
Exemption boards in the two states
in which the league operates-Cali-
fornia and Ctah-have ruled that the
players are subject to the work or
fight rule. and the league has decided
to abide by this decision rather than
appeal to higher authorities.
'1n view of the shortening Of the
season and the closeness Of the race
between Vernon and Los Angeles, the
directors voted to order these two
clubs to play an additional series of
nine games in Los Angeles next week,
the series to be concluded when either
club wins five games. and the winner
will be decided the champion of the
1918 season"

Matteson Starts Well

Ed Matteson's showing yesterday in
his first appearance as a National in
dicates Clark Griffith has succeeded in
his endeavor to strengthen the local
pitching staff. This thirty-two-year-
old hurler, who piled up a most inn
pressive string of victories for the
Dallas club of the Texas League this
season, injected into the tussle with
the Tigers after Jim Shaw had been
removed for a pinch hitter. held the
Michigan maulers to one scratch hit
in the five rounds he officiated. A lone
run. which. however. was unearned, as
Stanage. who scored it, got on the
bases through a slip-up in fielding by
Shanks, brought in from the outfield
to sub for Mcbride at second base,
was registered by the enemy during
his regime. Matteson showed no great
amount of smoke, but if he possesses
a fast ball he was wise in not employ
ing it, as the Jungaleers just dote on
speed. He did exhibit a most effective
curve, however. and slow ball that
continually caught the visiting stick
smiths Off their balance. Matteson
was rewarded for his sterling work
by having win credited to him on
the occasion of his first appearance in
3. major league contest. duplicating the
records or stan Reese ana NICK Al
trock in their initial games as Wash
ington hurlers.
But Matteson did not pre-empt all
of the limelight. Walter Johnsons
ample frame absorbed a goodly por-
tion of it. 1t was the Kansan who
sent Shaw in foam early shower dur
ing that productive fourth-inning
rally when the Nationals had two runs
over the plate and two athletes tug
ging at their leashes on the base
lines. Walter delivered a crashing
line drive to the scoreboard in right
center that cashed both these tallies.
then went out to play center field and
later in the battle-the, seventh, to be
exact-paved the way for what proved
to be the winning run by ramming a
single to left. Johnson played his po-
sition in the middle meadow like a
veteran. One of his three chances. a
drive from Jones bat in the seventh
required judgment and sprinting abil-
ity to snare.

maintained their position in fourth

TWO HARD GAMES
LISTED FOR ME|GS
Soldiers Play Operations To-
morrow and Army Medical
School Nine Monday.
BY n, C. BYRD,

Camp Meigs has two hard base ball
games for tomorrow and Monday.
Out at the cantonment grounds to-
morrow 1t meets the Operations nine
of the Navy Interbureau League. and
Monday at American League Park 1t
goes against the combination repre-
senting the Army Medical School. The
team Is booked for a contest this
afternoon. with Congress Heights. but
there is not much possibility of 1t
being played.
Medical School the Meigs nine is
meeting about as strong amateur
teams as there are in the District,
with one or two possible exceptions.
Operations Has been putting up good
brand of ball in nearly all its games
and the Army Medicos have one Of
the two teams that have won victories
over Meigs this season. With the ex-
ception of the Army Medical School.
the Rex Athletic Club Is the only
nine that has won from Meigs. and the
aforementioned has played twenty-o1e
or twenty-five games. Both contests

Tomorrow the Rex Athletic Club will
journey to Annapolis to meet the
combination representing the Reina
Mercedes, training ship at the Naval
Academy. Ferguson, the Gallaudet
hurler. probably will do the pitching
for the local club.
Agriculture and Engineers are
scheduled to meet this afternoon in
of the first half of the season in the
Departmental League. but at this mo-
ment there does not appear to be
much possibility that they will be
able to play. Even If the rain stops.
the probabilities are that the ground
will be too wet to allow much in the
way of base ball. Agriculture and
Engineers finished the first half of
the schedule in a tie for first place,
and the extra game was scheduled in
order to break that.
