SENATORS SET
FAST PACE FOR
JUNIOR LEAGUE
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, April 20. up
Walter Johnson's Washington Sen
ators are setting fast pace in the
American League pennant race and
appear likely to be serious threat
to the Philadelphia Athletics hope
of winning a third consecutive
league championship.
The Senators have won four of
their first five games and open the
second week of the 1881 season as
league leaders. Five games do not
make a season and many things may
happen before the race closes next
September, but Washington's rec
ord is particularly impressive be-
cause three of the Senator's tri-
umphs we're scored at the expense
of Philadelphia.
On the basis of opening week
play, the American League race
promises TO be a fight between
Washington and Philadelphia. with
the New York Yankees a danger
Gus contender. The Yanks, who
opened with three consecutive VIC
tories over Boston, received their
first real test Sunday and made an
impressive showing in dropping in
a 3 to battle to the Athletics.
Charley Ruffing and Rube Wal
berg hooked up in hurting duel,
before 80,403 spectators, and the
Athletics triumph veteran tri-
umphed on the margin of a home
run by Jimmy Dykes.

The week long series between
Sacramento and Seattle rebounded
to the Senators credit today as
they forged into the lead of the Pa
cific coast league on the strength
of string of victories.
The solons cinched first place by
a double victory over the Indians
in the last two games of their
present series, taking the morning
contest 3 to / and the nightcap, a
SUGGEST, 16 to II. Errors counted
heavily against the Indians in both
games.
At the same time the Hollywood
Stars appeared emerging from a
temporary slump by taking a dou-
bleheader from Los Angeles, the
first 3 to and the second 6 to 2.
Shellenback pitched for Hollywood
in the first set-to and allowed only
five hits. The Stars held a four
run rally in the third inning of
the nightcap, coming from behind
to win.
The Portland Beavers, who dur
ing the week climbed to the top Of
the column, suffered setback at
the hands of the Oakland Oaks.
The Acorns won the morning en-
counter 7 to 6 in IL innings and
afternoon contest to 3. In the
first game the Beavers scored once
in their half of the 18th and ap-
peared the winners, but the Oaks
scored twice in their half.
The San Francisco Seals and
Missions Reds divided double
header, the Seals taking the morn
ing game II to and the Reds win
ming l3 inning nightcap IL to 10.
The Reds had to score five runs
in the ninth to tie the tally.
The weeks series, starting to-
morrow, will find the Angels at
Oakland, Sacramento at San Fran
cisco, the Missions at Seattle and
Hollywood at Portland.

KENNEDY Will
DEFEND CROWN
AGAINST K0NZE

Imperial Valley will see its first
championship boxing match Friday
night, when Les Kennedy, heavy
weight champion of California,
meets Al Konze in the 10 round
main event at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club.
For those VINO may have doubts
about 1t being championship
match, We quote the following from
the rules and regulations of the
state athletic commission, which
controls boxing in California:
Rule 79-The title OF a champion
shall be at stake in all cases where
the official weighing in shows his
opponent to be within the maxi
mum weight limit of the class"
There is a ITS pound minimum
weight to the heavyweight class
and no maximum. Kennedy will
therefore be defending the heavy
weight title awarded to him by the
athletic commission.
How come Kennedy comes down
here in the sticks to defend his
title" the boxing fan asks.
Konze has been signed by the
club for several weeks past. to ap-
pear as, soon as an opponent could
be obtained for him. Konze asked
that he be given the toughest op-
ponent possible, and havin g
Knocked out IL opponents in as
many fights at the Olympic club
in Los Angeles, he did not bar
anyone, feeling confident he can
take care OF himself, whether it
was Kennedy, Max Baer Or some
other fighter.
The club had Konze but no op-
ponent. Then Harry Woodbury.
got to work Some Is years ago,
just prior to the World war, Wood
bury was operating a fight club in
San Diego. In his stable he had a
fighter named Herb White who was
his ace.
White had been unable to get
any place until he went under
Woodbury's management and Harry
Immediately began to get him
fights. White was soon going good
and was reputed as one of the best
in his class on the coast.
Contract Approved
That same White is now Kenne-
dy's manager. He and Woodbury.
not only went through the Califor-
MIA fight game together-they went
through the biggest fight of all as
members of the 91st Division. When
fellows have eaten beans out of the
same dish, and lodged bullets to-
gether, they get to be what is known
as "buddies".
Woodbury's friendship with
White and nothing else, got the
signature on a contract to bring
Kennedy down here The idea that
Kennedy may be "set-up" is
knocked in the head, because the
commission scrutinizes every bout
in which a champion participates
and turns thumbs down on any
fights that are too one-sided.
Old Bob Edgren must be salts
fled that champions opponent is
capable of putting up reasonably
good battle before the commission
will o. k. the bout. The o. k. has
been placed on the Kennedy-Konze
match.
Woodbury. is now arranging a
supporting card for the champion
ship match, and it will be announc-
ed later.
Fans had better be preparing
lodge night, sick friend" or SIM
liar alibis for Friday. night, for it
looks like scrap no fan will want
to miss.

Promise Thrills

LOS ANGELES. April 20. (U.P)-
The greatest track and field meet
duel in the history of Pacific coast
competition was predicted today for
the Stanford-Southern California
engagement at Palo Alto May 2 on
the basis of showing of the two
teams Saturday.
Southern California, showing un-
expected strength, nosed out the Los
Angeles Athletic club, 66is to 641a,
while Stanford was walloping Cali
fornia, 10l 2-3 to 20 l-3. The Tfo-
jams whipped California two weeks
ago, 1903 to 28, while Stanford lost
to the Clubmen, 10 to 6l.
On a basis of comparative scores,
that makes the Indians and Trojans
just above even-steven.
