short series.
The Seattle Rainiers, IA games

Los Angeles plays tonight, tomor-
row and Thursday night, with a
double-header tomorrow. then
takes on lsst-plsce Portland for
the rest of the week.
San Francisco went to Portland
for three games and was to move
over to Seattle Friday to finish
the week.
On the California end Of the
circuit, Sacramento opens at
Hollywood tonight for three
days, proceeding to Oakland
Friday for four more. San
Diego starts Mt Oakland to-
night and will be ut Holly

Meet Salem
And Yakima
In Series
Outfit Is Hustling
Under Guidance OF
Manager Gorretson

Within striking distance Of
first place, the Tigers return to
their home lot on sprague avenue
for two series. beginning tonight.
Tuesday. Wednesday and Thurs
day nights. the Bengals will meet
the Salem Senators, who are but
stride behind the Tigers in the
spirited battle to overtake the
staggering Spokane Indians.
Next Friday night, the Yak
lima Pippins, also n pennant
threat, will be here for four
games, Friday through Sun
day.
Lou koupal. former big Lacquer,
Is the likely choice of Manager
Bobby Garretson to open on the
mound against Salem.
Koupal was charged with loss
Saturday night, but in three In
nings of relief work allowed only
one hit. Bad fielding allowed the
runs that beat him, after he had
himself batted in run that looked
like 1t would be good for the
victory.
BETTER THAN SPOKANE
The Tigers have been making a
great pennant race since Garrett
son took charge five weeks ago.
When the managerial change was
made, the Tigers were wallowing
in fourth place with 80 wins and
80 losses.
Since the day the reins were
turned over to the first sacker,
the Tigers have won ~ and lost
Is games, close to a 500 pace,
which is better than Spokane has
done for the season.
When the change was made,
the Tigers were eight games
back OF Spokane, a big gap to
bridge. The Spokane lead has
been sliced almost In half.
Feature of the Tigers squirt is
the sensational hitting streak of
Tony Firpo. rightfielder. who two
weeks ago stepped into the role
as leagues leading hitter. Ascend
ing to the top of the heap appar-
entity has helped Firpo's work at
the plate for he is batting better
now than ever before. In four
games at Yakima he lambasted
out 10 hits in 20 times at bat to
push his average to more than
$50 and is now about 20 points
ahead of his nearest competitor.

SCRANIBLER WARD

Ward is a born scrambler. Con-
sistently he flirted with trouble.
but just as consistently, like a
tickle girl, nothing came of it; he
kept right on getting his pars and
sometimes even a birdie.
Macarthur had reason al
ternately first to pet his put
ter and then to pound it in
rage. During the SO holes he
missed at least a half dozen
puts under four feet, but he
dropped several puts that
measured Is feet or more. He
birdied two holes, the ninth
and 18th, twice.
Low Tacoma amateur was Jack
Walters, the long-hitting lefty of
the home club. Walters banged
around the course during the
morning in 20 strokes, but needed
rs blows to finish the second
round. Bob Van De- Mark, for
