COAST BALL
LEAGUE WILL QUIT
WITH sunday GAMES
Los Angeles and Vernon,
However, VIII Play Few
More for Psnnant

Los Angeles, CAL, July 1S.-There S
just one little grain of comfort here
in the suspension of the Pacific Coast
league after tOmOrrOw's games-Los
Angeles fans will get to see at least
five more games, as Vernon and the An.
gels scrap it out for the pennant. This
order was decided upon by the directors
at meeting last night.
Patriotism played an important part
In the final session of the league mag
mates here last night at which the Of
fieial swan song was chanted. With
players from Salt Lake, Vernon and
San Francisco clubs being summoned
before draft boards under the work or
fight order, it was deemed best to end
the season and release the players for
war work, than to fight for them by ap-
peals to higher authorities.
owe did the only thing we could
consistently do" stated A. t. Baum,
president of the league today. 81 know
the public is interested IN the game, but
under present conditions l feel the fans
will commend our efforts and wait in
patience until the end of the war en-
ables resumption Of the sport. 1 am
sure it is due to come back stronger
than ever"
The meeting deciding upon suspension
after tomorrow's games was attended
by President Baum President Powers
of the Angels, who also represented
Salt Lake; Cal Ewing of Oakland and
President Strub and Manager Graham
Of the Seals. Baum also represented
Sacramento.
| Their session was ssort and to the
point The situation was familiar to each
director-so only means of meeting il
were discussed. Strub favored an at
tempt to finish the season with four
clubs, dropping Salt Lake and Sacra-
mento 1t was held by the others that
this would be impossible, 50 a decision
to end the season tomorrow night was
quickly reached.
After the suspension had been agreed
to it was decided that the league leader

certain problems will appear which the
present time forces upon us.
Exhaustive discussion took place
regarding these questions July and 2
at general headquarters, under the
presidency of the kaiser.
Naturally, | cain only announce
here quite generally the lines which
were laid down at the time regarding
the east, west and on the basis of the
peace of Brest-Ltovsk and we wish to
see this peace carried sout in a local
manner. That is the wish of the Ger
man imperial administration and it is
supported in this by the chief of the
army administration.
Russian Conditions Mixed
"However, the difficulty of the
execution of the peace of Brest-Litovsk
does not lie on our side, but in the
1act that conditions in Russia are still
exceedingly uncertain. We are inclin-
ed to believe in the loyalty of the pres
emit Russian government, and especial
ly in the loyalty of the representatives
of the Russian government in Berlin.
g But we may not, and cannot, pre-
sumo Internationally that the present
Russian government has the power to
carry through everywhere the loyal
promises made to us. We do not at all
wish to create difficulties for the pres
'ent Russian government, but as condi-
tions now are, there are incessant de-
velopments and endless frictions in the
frontier region.
"Howevcr, our principle is that we
stand ON the basis of peace made at
Brest- -Ltovsk and we will carry out
this peace Loyalty and will deal loyalty
with the present government.
