Five teams galloped down the
coast league home stretch today
hoping to finish in the first division
and enter the Shaughnessy playofi
for the extra dough that. accrues
to the better Cor luckier) ball club
Three weeks remain of the regu-
lar season, and two things seemed
certain. Seattle will win the pen
nant. San Francisco and Portland
will be "alSo- rams" Only nine games,
however, separated the ,second-place
clubs the Acorns. Los Angeles, San
Diego, Sacramento and the Stars
must falter and stumble by the
wayside before Sept. Is.
Seattle won an abbreviated series
from The fighting Hollywood Stars,
three games to two, by splitting a
double-header yesterday. The Rain
ierS took the first, to 2, the Twinks
the nightcap, 8 to 7. Bill Schuster
stole home to aid three-run sixth
inning rally that gave Seattle it's
win while Hal Turpin was marking
up his 21St pitching victory of the
year.
Hollywood, behind Z to 0 going
into the sixth inning, assaulted Paul
Gregory for four runs in the sixth,
four more in the seventh. with the
winning run coming off Alden Will
kie. 1t was Wilkes second defeat
of the week, his third of the season
against II victories.
The TwinkS used Alex MustaikiS,
their new pitcher from Reading, as
pinch-hitter in the seventh and
he drove in the winning run with
a single.
Oakland twice beat Portland, l
to and to 2, to win their series
three games to one. /lck Salveson
shut out the Beavers in the first
game with seven hits, clouted
triple and scored the lone run in
the eighth on Ernie Raimondis sac
rifice bunt.
The best pitching performance of
the week vas turned in by Herman
(Old Folks Pillette, who limited San
Francisco to one hit in the seven
inning nightcap as San Diego
whitewashed The Seals, 7 to 0. The
Seals had won the opener, 5 to 4,
on seven-hit pitching perfor-
nance by Larry Powell.
Johnny Barrett got the only hit
off the elderly Pillette, a blooper
into right in the fourth inning. He
issued no walks, hit only one batter,
but likewise struck out only two.
Herman aided the Padres tremen-
douS seven-run rally in the fifth
inning by driving home one run
and scoring another. I....
Frank Dasso held the Padres hit
less until the fourth, when he gave
up three yet held them runless. In
the fifth, however, he walked six
men, gave four more hits and re-
tired ANONYMOUSLY in favor of Win
Ballou.
Don Whites first home run in
the Pacific Coast league brought
victory to the Seals in the opener.

considers the Baer an easy hurdle

But the Baer is being very coy
these days because at the moment
he is hot article in the prize fight
business. He got that way by licking
Two-Ton Tony Galento in Jersey
a short time. ago-a Galento badly
out of condition. The Baer is the
same man who took an awful lick
ing from young Lou Nova, who got
enough of j. Louis in four rounds
back in 1885 and who has nothing
to recommend him as a fighter ex-
cept fair right hand punch. How
ever, the victory over Galento made
the Baer big part of the heavy
weight picture, and the promoters
started showing the bait at him.
Uncle Mike Jacobs suggested that
Baer pay up all his life insurance
premiums, make his will and get
into the ring with Louis again.
A slight shudder is said to have
run over the Baers frame. but he
finally agreed to take this suicidal
step provided Uncle Mike would
guarantee him $4,000, win, lose or
draw. Whereupon tremendous
shudder ran over Uncle Mixes frame
and he fled from the scene scream
ing that not even Louis demanded
a $4,000 guarantee and who did
the Baer think he was anyway.
Today or tomorrow ought to tell
whether the Baer comes east where
both Louis and Comiskey have
declared tnat it is open season on
him.
Prof. Kearns could use good
profitable fight right now. Things
are not breaking so Well for him.

Long hitters
Favored in

HERSHEY, Pa, Aug. 26 GUP)-
The cards were stacked in favor oi
the big hitters today as the tough
est golf tournament in the world
the P. G. A.-started over the long
est course on which it ever has been
played.
Sam Snead, Craig Wood and Ben
Hogan-they were the men the
field was shooting at as 125-odd
professional golfers marched out on
the first qualifying round over the
long and treacherous Hershey coun-
try club course. s...-.. -..
Rain yesterday and a forecast for
more today added additional haz-
ards to 7077 yard course already
treacherous enough with its clover
fairways, wicked traps and deep
woods.
Snead, despite his many failures
in major tournaments of the past
was a five-to-one favorite and right
behind him at to l came Hogan,
leading money winner of the year,
who is suffering from a stiff neck
and Craig Wood the long-hitter
from Mamaroneck, N. Y.
This tournament lasts too long
for any man to be cinch before
it starts. But because of the fair
ways, these men were given the
best chance of any to win if the
breaks fall their way.
Back of this trio at odds of to
came Paul Runyan. twice winner
of this tournament; Jimmy Dem

independent income. =...y
So Jones went to work on Bigboy
whipped him into shape for the
Apostoli fight and Bigboy came
back from San, Francisco with the
plaudits he received there still ring,
ing in his ears.
He dropped decision to the for
mer middleweight champion of the
world, but in doing so he fought the
greatest battle of his comparatively
short professional career.
Jones, who handled the difficult
Wolgast and the somewhat eccen-
tric Ketchel, has a knack of handling
youngsters. He makes them want to
train for bouts because, as Shorty
says. ''To-l, makes training easy
It's a lot of fun
Before Jones came along you prac-
ticaIly had to horsewhip Shorty to
make him do the necessary amount
of training. Some say Bigboy was
worse.
Jones has mapped an ambitious
program for the twins. There'll be
a couple OF bouts in San Francisco,
then trip east. But first the twins
must get in shape.
There's month or so of work
on a highway construction gang
that Jones has arranged. Then
there's a couple of weeks of train
ing, and basic boxing instruction to
follow Nlat.
All of which spells the long-ex-
pected success trail for the twins
from Jacuruba. You will hear more
of the Hogues, and this time it will

The Saga of the HOgues !.


Some will tell you that the Hogu'
twins. Shorty and Bigboy, final,
woke up 10 the fact that fighter
can't 90 any place in fistic war
without a competent manager anc
trainer.
Some Will tell you the HogueS
finally decided TO take the vel
meant advice of several sports writ
ers who have urged them to hook
up with a competent manager and
trainer.
Others will say that the recent
setbacks OF the twins finally con-
vinced the replician Jacumbans
there is more to fighting than ap-
pears on The surface. tt s
Perhaps there is some truth, some
basis for the above conclusions. but
it is more likely the Jacumba fight
ing men followed a path whitfield
for them by fate, and finally mel
the right man to do the job.
Tom Jones, a venerable chap who
managed three world champions.
jess Willard, Ad Woigast and Stan
ley Ketchel, took over the fortunes
of the twins recently and has begur
to show signs of progress already.
Jones is highly regarded in the
fight game, has the needed con-
nections TO obtain the right fights
at the right time at the right place
and more important-at the right
price. l., ts. 1
Jones watched the Hogues fight
in San Diego couple of times be-
fore he took an interest in the
twins. Then he began to drop
around to watch the youngsters
train at the coliseum, aided them in
training routines
Soon he ecame so interested that
the twins proposed he manage them.

NEW YORK, aug. 26. CUPC-
That eminent wild animal trainer

For a guy who is supposed to
have a terrific appetite for fresh
money, the Baer-Max Adelbert Baer
is going through some curious
tricks. Right now he has maneuver-
ed himself into the position of a
starving man who refuses a three
inch steak because he doesn't like
mushroom sauce.
Prof. Kearns thinks he can put

Baer He wants to throw the BaeI
in against one Patrick Edward Com
iskey for a fight in Jersey City
Bright and early today Prof. Kearns
began to heat up the wires to Sac
ramento where the Baer has holeo
up, offering a little extra sugar
a choice between $4,000 and 80 pei
cent of the gate.
There seems TO be no doubt that
Prof. Kearns can lay the dough on
the line, for over in New Jersey
there are three wealthy Irishmen
who would pay plenty to watch Pat
rick Edward Comiskey get a shot
at the Baer's jaw. This Comiskey
is an Irish giant with a punch like
the kick of a mule. He is still
young and hasn't learned all the
nice points of boxing yet. but he has
so much sockeroo in both hands
that plenty of people-including this
observer-pelieve it is only ques-
ton of time he will be heavyweight
champion. Comiskey is ready to
