Holding down a prominent place on the Oak bench is one Rube Gardner, not so verv lore: aco honored bv a "day" for his sterling work with the Oaks this season. Of late Rube isn't breaking into the same very often. He isn't even ailowed to bnt any more. When pinch hits are required Doc Crandall is given a weapon and sent forth to the plate. Rube is too valuable a bit of baseball machinery to be allowed to rust on the Oak bench, when the Seals are losing games through no hittinj? at all. When Rube is sent into a game now lie is handicapped by not looking at the ball for days at a stretch. Played regularly, the slugging Oaklander would soon make some of our very best performers hustle i for a job. If Del Howard can find no use for Rube as a regular or as a pinch hitter, lie should be able to frame up a deal with some oilier club in the league. Gardner is too good a hitler to be kept on the bench, even if lie is only able to negotiate the hundred yards in two hours and seventeen sev-enteen seconds, a trifle worse than the record established by Ping Hodie and Tnuk Hannah. The Seals could use him for the balance of the year. San Francisco Fran-cisco Bulletin. Players arc being lined up for the bos Angeles club as rapidly as possible.

Raymond says bis connection with the Seattle club will be severed at his own reiuest. "Ravmond is being released because he desires to try his hand elsewhere." Pugdale said. "Raymond believes that it would be a good thing for both himself him-self and the club t hat a change be made, and I have consented to allow him to become a free agent." Raymond is a familiar figure in baseball base-ball on the coast. Born in California in 1SS3. Tea Icy opened his baseball career in Los Angeles fourteen years ago.
