 Vernon now plays it's home games at Washington Park here and will continue to do so until 1926, when the new park will be ready, said Maier.
 The lease on Washington Park, now used pointly by Los Angeles and Vernon, will expire at the end of the 1925 season, and the Los Angeles club has already purchased ground on which Ito build a modern baseball park. However, the Los Angeles and Vernon clubs are not overly friendly and because of this. it Yas said, Maier intends to construct park of his own.
 Fans will be able to reach the park lat Vernon by electric railway from the business district of Los Angeles in 15 minutes, according to Maier

WADE KILLEFER HAS POOR LUCK
 IN PLAYER HUNT

SEATTLE, May 31.-That he is unable to purchase any pitchers in the Western League outright is the word that Wade Killifer, who is scouting the Middle West, sends to President Charley Lockard of the Indians.
 "Killifer sent wire to the effect that he waS'S unable to purchase q ball player that we had in mind and he shifted from the Western League to the American Association to see what was doing in that cir cuit," said Lcckard
 "It begins to look as if the only deal we can make would be one in volving a trade of one of our play CTS for a pitcher who will do us some good. Everybody is set in the East and that means that they do not want to sell a winning player out right. We may have somebody to trade who will help an Eastern club and at the same time give us some strength"
 Lockard says that the Seattle club lost a lot of hard luck games. When the Indians had good pitching, the close games were lost by dumb base running and poor fielding. The Se- attle proxy is of the opinion that San Francisco is the best of the Southern clubs because of it's reserve strength in pitching and fielding. He also thinks that the Salt Lake and the Los Angeles club will be in the first division, while he looks for the Vernon. Sacramento and Portland clubs to take a flop.
