When the arraignment was over,
Arbuckle was led into the judges

through the prisoners door to the
Jail. This was rdone to avoid leading
him through the crowded courtroom.
After court adjourned, Arbuckle

INDIANS CHANCES
FOR REMNANT HURT
BY DOUBLE WALLOP
Battered Beavers Nick Braves for
Pair-Angels Hold Lead at
End of Week

With three more weeks to 60, the
Coast league race is still almost any

setback by the double defeat at Port
land yesterday, but the Indians open
an eight-game series at home today
with the Beavers. They have
chance to redeem their chances by
making a sweep Of this series.
Los Angeles is still holding a mar
row lead over San Francisco, with
Sacramento a bare half game behind
the Seals. Seattle had counted on
winning pair of games yesterday
to climb up with the rest Of the gang.
The setback of two games is serious
one at this stage of the race.

ming any pennants are concerned. but
they are still to be figured on as pos
sible stumbling blocks for the others
which are up in the front.
In the series which ended yester-
day Seattle and Portland broke even
with three games each. Seattle comes
home from the last road trip Of the
year with an even break in the four
series played in the south. When
the team went to California Manager
Kenworthy remarked that If he could
get an even break on the road he
would win the pennant. He got the
even break but the pennant winning
he has yet to accomplish.
Los Angeles took six out Of eight
games from San Francisco, pulling
the Seals down from the lead, the
Angels going into that position for
the first time this year.
Sacramento captured the odd game
from Salt Lake. which was not as
much as the Senators had counted
on. Had the Sacs grabbed the Salt
Lake series by more than one
game margin they would have been
out in front
Oakland took five games out of
eight from Vernon, but the Oak
standing was not bettered sufficiently
to make the team a contender.
