Special to The Tribune. LOS ANG FILES, May 27. Tomorrow night P. Hamilton Patterson's league-leading league-leading Tigers depart on their first long ; roarl trip of tiie season, said sojourn to 1 last three weeks. The cities of Salt Lake, San Francisco and Portland will be taken in by the traveling Bengals. ' One of the fastest fielding plays of the season was pulled by Jerry Downs In the first. Brief slammed a scrcccher almost directly over second. Downs raced over for it, took 1he ball and threw it backhanded back-handed to Coffey. The tenth of a second separated Shinn from an out. Sepulveda threw mightily Into the out? . field in the first, aiming for Rath, who i was stealing. The throw was made so 1 nuickly that neither Coffey nor Downs had time to cover the base. The first hit off Dougan was made in the fifth. Downs was the lucky one, Jones's slain In the fourth, taking a vicious bound, almost caught Rath in the 1 face. Quick action prevented the disaster. dis-aster. Autrey starred with a pick-up of Sep-! ulveda's low throw in the fourth. Orr acted up spectacularly In the sixth on Sepulvetla's scooter. It looked like a hit. hut a cannon-Ilka peg got the runner at first. Sheehan got credit for a hit in the seventh sev-enth because the ball bounded over Mur- , phy's head. A runner scored. Al Baum, president, pilot and foreman I of the Pacific Coast league, arrived in I town yesterday wearing a cane and & broad smile. His visit here is harmless and painless. Ho seeks nothing more than a chance to look over conditions and our fair city. , He craves a change of climate and simply knew where to come. It seems that Al has been suffering from tonsiiitis. The San. Francisco weather was far from beneficial for self-respecting tonsils, so he packed up his clothes and tonsils and came south. He denies emphatically that he is here to investigate the rumors that Mitchell and Mitzo are still on the Vernon pay roll. Baum asserts that these men have been officially released and that ends the matter as far as he Is concerned. He Is too busy to bother with wild rumors-Again rumors-Again he. assures us that his visit has nothing to do with the umpires. So far as he can see the umpires are all right. Umpires are never all right, but we Judge that he means that they are as good as the rest of them. From here Baum will go to Salt Lake. His circuit trip is merely a friendly visit in the interests of the league. He reports general conditions fine and the gates good in spite of the bad weather that has hampered the clubs to date. He lauded the local cluhs highiv for the class of ball they are playing. Los Angeles Tribune. "Rowdy" Elliott Is experiencing extraordinary ex-traordinary difliculty in landing the pitchers he wants from the majors. Just when he was about to close with St, Louis for two reliable twirlers, five Cardinal Car-dinal hurlers were discovered to he incapacitated in-capacitated for regular duty, and Miller Huggins wired postponing the deal a week. The Oaks have been offered four pitchers, but Eliiott does not think they are srood enough. lClliott was in telegraphic touch today wit li Connie Mack, McGraw, S tailings and two American association clubs. Eddie Hen, scout of the St. Louis Car-dinnls, Car-dinnls, is reported today to have offered ; Oakland SL'500 for "Speed' Martin, whose ! pitching has been the sensation of the : Pacific Coast league this year. Manager ; "Rowdy" Elliott will not consider this '. price, as he considers Martin his great- I est asset. It is said, however, that Oakland may . sell Martin to the highest bidder, the ; deal carrying the stipulation that the t wirier must be permitted to finish tho 1 season with Oakland. Oakland Tribune. : -it Lefty Owens fanned twelve last Sun- j day when Sonnrn pained a derision over 1 the Spcrry nine, ? to 1. Dodge, the np- ! posing slabster. also pitched good hall, 1 allowing only live hits. He was once a Salt Lake prospect. : ; With Billy Zimmerman gone. Billv : Lane seems to be the outfield utilitv man for the Oaks. Lane did not keep up the gait at which lie started out. but he nevertheless has played splendid ball for Oakland from the start, and it is by no means certain that Cook, the newcomer, will take the regular job away from him. LOS AXOELES. May 27. Either Shortstop Short-stop McCariy or Mulllean will be a member mem-ber of the Angels if Manager Joe Tinker of the Cubs is able to secure waivers on one of the pair. To date all the clubs in the big leagues have failed to grunt waivers on either Mulligan or McCarty, but, according to Prexy Powers of the Seraphs. Tinker may be able to send one of the lnfielders to the Angels before long. |
