NEW YORK, Sept 10. up
! There's a chap around town who
before each important tennis tour

If you have been following the

in a pent house, tips with money

You don't full realize just what
sure shot thing the big hearted

pick four winners. Even with the

Pacific Coast
League Scores
BY United Press

The Los Angeles Angels. favored
by heavy hitting and a beneflcent
ruling of President Harry Williams
of the coast league, held a fairly
good lead in the standings today.
A double victory over the Seat
tie Indians pushed the Angels from
second place to first, ousting the
Oakland Acorns. Williams ruling
that a defeat charged to them in
their last series with the Indians,
several weeks ago, should be erased
sent them even farther ahead.
Homers by Burns and STATE
counted in the Seraphs' 10 to 5
win in the first game. They scored
seven runs in the third inning OF
the nightcap, winning u to. 7 and
knocking three Indian hurlers out
of the box. Campbell gathered a
four base hit.
The San Francisco Seals added
mischief to the Angels feat and
sent Oakland down to third place
by trimming the transbay players
twice. The Seals went to second.
San Francisco won the first tilt,
: to 0. by touching Daglia for six
hits and finished off the double
header with close victory, 6 to S.
Sam Gibson was hurting in the
latter game and was found for Is
hits-three more than the Seals
but his team mates gave him
enough backing to win.
The rising Mission Reds climbed
out of the cellar by taking a pair
from the Beavers, shunting the
latter team into fourth place. They
won easily both times. taking the
first to and the second to 5.
In the latter arguments both teams

West Wallops Pair of Homers
As Mats Beat BarOns, III to 3

of five bingles that all carried to left
field. Hayes. Cronin, Judge, West and
Bluege manufactured them and
Sammy's went for two bases. The best
hit ball of the round, a swat to right
center by Bolton, was captured by
some agile outfield work.
Unsteady at the outset Brown paved
the way for a Baron marker by walk
ing the first man TO face him. A force
play removed him.. but a single and
double followed and the fact that two
tallies didn't accrue was due to fast
and accurate handling Of the ball by
Manush, Cronin and Bolton.
Vests CIout Tells.
Another extra base rap by West fig
ured prominently in the two runs regis
tered by tie Griffs in the third.
Cronin, who led OF with single, had
been forced by Judge when Sammy hit
viciously to right center. Bounding by
the guardian of that section, the swat
was good for three bases, scoring Judge,
while West also tailed a moment later
on Bluege's long fly.
An opening was afforded the Barons
in the fourth when Susko singled and
galloped to third on a Texas Lacquer
by Prerost, who went to second on the
throw-in but when the latter essayed
to steal third with the sack occupied
a rundown ended the chance.
West again was the principal mott
waiting force of a 3-run rally staged
by the Nationals in the fifth. This
time 1t was a home run clout into the
right field bleachers. which also scored
Cronin. whose preceding third straight
lIft was a double to center. This swat
by Sammy was low liner that just
carried over the barrier into the stands.
Bluege then singled, stole and scored
on a wild heave by the Baron third
Sacker.
Another Homer for Sammy.
Vests fourth straight hit, also a
round trip whack, came in the seventh
OF Henry Shoaf, the second Baron
pitcher, with the bases unoccupied, and
was by far the lustiest wallop evolved
pby q Griffman this Spring. 1t was q
Ruthian rap that carried atop the roof
of the grandstand in right field.
The first Baron tally since the in
itial round of Brown also was cir
cult clcut in the fag end OF this frame.
1t was a vigorous liner to right center
that bounced through a hole in wire
screen alongside the bleachers.
Doubles by Harry Rice and ManuSh
in the eighth accounted for the Ma
tionals' eleventh run.
This was all the scoring for the day
except q second consecutive home run
by Andy Moore In the final frame, q
well hit drive that cleared the low
fence in front Of the right field stands.

BY the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, April with
rockies walking the plank at
a somewhat rapid rate, ma
4 jor league baseball craft have
trimmed their sails home
ward, still leaving the experts very
much mystif1ed as to the prospects
for the 1881 pennant races.
The Philadelphia Athletics and
st. Louis Cardinals, 1880 winnes,
remain the preseason favorites,
with the opening games only a fort
night away, but the feeling of un-
certainty as to the relative strength
of the contending clubs Is widely
manifest.
It is reflected not only in the rap
idly shifting developments of the
training campaigns, conducted flcm
Florida to California, but in the
broad range of opinion filed so far
by the war correspondents In the
annual pennant consensus OF the
Associated Press.
Twenty-Five of the thirty-eight ex-
pertS who have reported favor the
Athletics to make 1t three straight.
Nine have picked Washington,
which appears to be gaining support
rapidly. Two each named the New
York Yankees and Cleveland Indians
as probable pennant winners in the.
American League.
Cards Are Favored.
In the National, the Cardinals
show 18 votes thus far, with nine
cast for the Chicago Cubs, eight
for the Brooklyn Robins, four for
the New York Giants and one for
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
In making these predictions, the
critics have discarded some of the
sign posts of the conditioning sea-
son, either an too confusing or in
conclusive, and based their views on
past performances.
