Orr recovered, threw 10 third and Johnny slid back to the bag. He was called safe. Blankenshlp and numerous others protested. Purtell covered lots of ground in the sixth when he got Ryan's bounder. Swede Risberg was robbed of a double In the seventh by Ryan's sensational running catch. Kane had to make r lorig run hack-wards hack-wards In the eighth to get HaUinan's long fly. Today's same will begin at 3:15 o'clock. It will be ladies' day. Lefty Williams previously had the strike-out record for the season. On May 2 Lefty struck out twelve Seals at San Francisco and on July 17 he fanned twelve Oaks, also at San Francisco. The Coast league strike-out record is seventeen seven-teen and was made by Pitcher Harry Sutor. San Franclsr-o. April 6. 1911, when he fanned seventeen Sacramento batsmen bats-men In eight innings, when rain stopped the game. This is regarded as the record from 190), prior to which time records are not available. Hall or Munsell will work for Salt Lake today. A fait guess for Vernon is Decan-nlere. Decan-nlere. Don Rader fanned four times in his five trips to the plate. Salt. Lake cot their first assist in the seventh, when Hallinan threw to Gedeon. forcing Wilhoit oh Purtell's grounder. TWO NEW FLING ERS. Blankenimip's pitching staff was increased in-creased by the addition of two hurlers yesterday. They wt re Lmmett Munsell and Jack Gilligan. Munsell was with the San Antonio club of the Texas league and was highly recommended by Dad Meek. Before he arrived It was thought that Munseli was a left-hander, inasmuch inas-much as his baseball handle Is "Lefty." The supposition waB erroneous, however, how-ever, as Munsell is the Tightest kind of a right-hander. Blankenshlp said, after a workout yesterday, that Munsell showed about everything that was necessary for a pitcher to have. Munsell once had a tryout with the Giants. 1 Jack Gilligan Is nn old-time Coast leaguer. At the beginning of this season he was attached to the St. Paul club and later played for the Des Moines club of the Western league. There was some talk of Gilligan joining the Salt Lake club two months ago. but the deal fell through. Frank Isbell, manager of the Des Moines club, recently wrote Blankenshlp to the effect that Gilligan was pitching great ball. Blankenshlp Is tickled half to death because Munsell Is a right -bander. He Is sadly in need of a starboard flinger and he is hoping hi? hardest that Munsell Mun-sell will come up to expectations. Vernon hit their first single in the sixth, when Berger got his hit. Six hits preceded Joe's swat three doubles, a triple and two homers. At least one good will ,come from the new park Hen Berry expects to plant on the site of the present orchard on Valencia street. It will put a stop to the old veil about the short right field fence. McC'redie is agitating again his old hobby of allowing home runs over the short fence to go for only two bases. It might have been a good idea at one time, but the old park Is so near the end of Its days now that one -.night as well let It spend the rest of its old age in peace. The fence in the new park will be considerably further away from the plate, which will overcome the chief objection ob-jection ro the Mission plant and the cause of the enormous waste of money at (Swing field. San Franilrro Bulletin Hen Berry has a controversy on his han. Is which doesn't concern the Angels. Hen Is engaged In the mammoth task of persuading an insurance company which protects the luh against financial losses on account of injuries to ball players that Harrv Heilmann is out of the game because be-cause of an injury sustained on the ball field. The policies cover only case? of incapacitation arising from hurts sustained in the actual course of play. if it can be shown that Heilmann's illness is t he result of sn ?h an Injury, the insurance company will have to shoulder Harry's salary for the six weeks he has been ont of the line-up. If not. the burden of paying money for value not received falls on the club. SF,ATTLF.. Sept. . -Seattle Is again clamoring for a place in the Pacific Coast league as the result of a com bl nation na-tion by Spokane. Tacoma and Vancouver, wherebv two games between Seattje and Spokane were cancelled and the games shifted to Spokane, where Spokane met Tacoma. Seattle is pressing Spokane t lose for the leadership and the Seattle fans -and Owner Dogdale insist the switch was made to Ueep Seattle from having a chance to cut the gap between the leading lead-ing teams. Threats to quit the league and apply for entrance In t lie Coast league are being be-ing made and President Dugdale is quoted as saying that "this is the worse piece of douhle dealing in the history of the many shady transactions in this rickety old J league." A good many fans have doubted the re- j ports that Fisher and Rodgers would I both like 10 play in the outfield next year. This does seem to be a rather peculiar move, but not so much so as it might appear. McCredle is bsnkihtt Strongly on Fisher taking care of right field, and be figures Carlson a nd Rat hole my as his catchers. Should Hawortb not make cood with Cleveland. "Chick'' would prohablv he the second string man. with Bartholemv farmed out somewhere. Local fans have probably forgotten that Rodgprs was originally an outfielder, and tiiat it was the Portland hoss who made him over into an infielder. Rill's arm is not the strongest in the world, but I be can throw pretty well, and it would j stiffen the hitting of the club, as well as the base-running department. Naturally, If McCredle could develop a couple of fine outficldei s, he might not nakc such a move, but these boys don't I grow on every tree, and a good outfield is one of the hardest things in base ha I; to procure.

Sunday's double-header has been put on for the benefit of worklngmen who cannot get to tall games save on Sun-davs. Sun-davs. There has not been a "laboring man's" double-header in Salt Lake this season and Sunday's twin bill will no doubt be appreciated.
