COAST
LEAGUE
ON APRIL S7H

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24-Base-
ball in the Pacific Coast league is at
that transitory stage when everything
is indefinite as to the personnel of the
different clubs, as far as the status-of
new aspirants for positions ,on the
teams are concerned. A lamb mascot
picked up by members of the San
Francisco squad in training at Santa
Clara, California, is receiving much
press notice as any of the aspiring
candidates. Not until the process OF
sitting out has eliminated all except
those deserving serious attention will
it be possible to determine with any
degree of accuracy the probable make
up of the teams as they will line up
for the opening games of the season
on April 8.
While there is considerable diverg-
ence Of opinion as to the probable
relative strength of the clubs when
they begin the season, it seems there
is unanimity of opinion that the 1919
season will be one Of the best, from
all points of view, that has been ex-
perienced by the Pacific coast. With
an eight-club circuit in which all Pa
cific coast states are represented, in
contradiction to the fact that all but
the Salt Lake City team of last sea-
son were from California cities, it is
held that there will be natural re-
vival of interest fostered largely by
the sectional rivalry thus injected.
The decision made by President
Allen T. Baum to return to the double
system Of umpiring has met with gen
eral approval. There are many fol-
lowers of the game who hold the opin-
ion that it is. beyond the capabilities
of any one man to call balls and
strikes and at the same time give due
attention to the decisions to be rend-
cred in the case of base runners. Both
systems have been tried out in the
past and the double system has been
conceded the better. Scores of ap-
plications for the umpiring jobs have
been received by Baum.
The various clubs are making up
preseason schedules of games to be
played against such semi-professional,
professional and amateur teams avail
able that are likely to offer good prac-
tice competition.

argument against the right of any en-

UNFAIRLY into an agreement upon the
form Of their relations. but what they
are seeking Is an unlimited recogni-
tion from the employers wherever the
workers decided upon trade unions as
their form of organisation. More time
to work out a compromise is sought
by the employers and the public group
is inclined to agree with them in that
respect, notwithstanding the impati-
encs Of the labor group to have the
issue thrashed out once and for all
before going any further. Still the
majority of the members of the con-

ultimate agreement. and that 1t would
