Next week they meet Vernon and the week following closes their lat road trip of tiie season with a round ' San Francisco. Thev will return home October S. for the final stand, which will last three weeks. Portland. San Francisco and Los Angeles will be our opponents. Tids week Vernon plays at Portland and Oakland at San Francisco. Blankenship will take his entire ."quad except Dut'jh Reuther. who will constitute consti-tute the home-guard. Blankenship thinks a whole lot of Dutch's fielding and hitting hit-ting ability as welt as his pitching capacity ca-pacity and may make a utility man of him next season. The series was an even break, three and three. The outcome left Salt Lake In fourth place, where we were when the doings with Vernon started. Skipper Blankenship may be on the disabled list himself. While Blank WSJ9 pitching to the batters in practice yesterday yes-terday Pert 1 1 3 1 1 slammed one directly at him. Blank took It on the wrist of his left arm. Last night the skipper was in doubt as to whether or not a bone was broken. He wilt have an X-ray put , on it when he reaches Los Angeles tomorrow. tomor-row. Meantime, hot water and other first-aids to the injured arc the order. Salt Takc hiis won nineteen of the last twenty-seven games played. Blankenship will probably cut loose a 1 pitcher on the coast. . Swede Risberg sure fattens his batting bat-ting average in Salt Iike. In the previous pre-vious weries of eight games. Risberg got sixteen hits and In the series closed yesterday yes-terday he got twelve. That is sui average av-erage of two hits a game. r. Lis Angeles and Salt Lake stand 17 and L3 games, In favor of Los AngeJes. ' . Johnny Kane got thirteen hits In the i six-game set-to ended yesterday. The ball park ht Vernon must be pret- ty much a Lucas field. Last Sunday there were six home runs and yesterday there were five, making a total of eleven 1 home runs In two games. Not the least of our regret is the loss of Red Held and Bill Guthrie, the two umps who hove been here the last two weeks. Would thai Red and Bill were with us always. If the order of rotation rota-tion is observed, the closing weeks in Salt Iake will bring Kitty Brashear and Kd Finney. Salt Lakers have not yet seen Brashear. The only thing we ask 1 is to be delivered from Toman. Satt rake is cleaned up on postponed games at home. GLEICHMANK DOING WELL. Gns r;icichmaim. Vernon first baseman, who was struck In the face by a pitched ball in the first inning of Saturday's game, had an excellent day at the Holy Cross hospital yesterday. An operation will be performed Tuesday morning. It Is expected that Cleichmann will he able to leave the hospital In three or four days after the operation, possibly sooner. He will go to California. Tt is not likely that he will play any more baseball this year. Fears were set at rest yesterday that Olelchmann's eye-. eye-. sight "would he impaired. Among other things. Oleichmann suffered suf-fered a fracture of the zygomatic arch, which, we take it. is some distinction for a hall player, even if It does hurt like blazes. To have a fractured zygomatic arch certainly sounds much more aristo-' aristo-' cratic than to have merely a busted leg. Bobby Davis. Beaver shortstop, yesterday yester-day injured his knee in fielding tlarij-neTs tlarij-neTs Infield hit itt the second inning of the morulas game and was carried off the field. Ife will likely be out for a week. A tremendous crowd saw the fracas. All the seating capacity was filled and about "'ftfl leaked out over the edges. There were ground rules on hits and throws into the overflow. FIRST GAME. Ryan caught Doane's fly with one hand in the first after lie had misjudged the ball. Quinlan got a hit. when his swat bounded too high for Piercy to field in the fourth. He slid head foremost into the bag, beating Purtell's throw. Orr sure pulled a fine one when he ran back and got Doane's hard fly in the fifth. Williams made Ka-ne go some to get his long fly In the. sixth.
