Griggs executed a long foul after Stovall's single and Buddy, running with head high, made a wonderful catch, but his head was too high for safety, hence the crash. He held onto the ball, but his cap was rescued from the imaginary debris of the bleachers. The result was a pretty rough internal massage mas-sage for Ryan. Otherwise he was not injured. Special to The Tribune. LOS ANGELES, June 15. Baseball strike and rumors of strikes did not materialize ma-terialize here today, which was the date set for the event.

Nick Williams has decided to put himself him-self down as a regular on the Spokane pay roll, taking the place of "Red" Baldwin, Bald-win, who was sent to the Beavers.

"There's what I call a coming Vender." pointed out Del Howard as Ray Kremer sauntered across the field the other day. "There's one young plUmer who has biains, besides a strong arm. When Kremer Kre-mer was in the league before he couldn't ! fi-eld his position; he was wild, and he , couldn't hold a man on first with a rope. : "Now look at him. He can field; his move to first base is absolutely the best I have ever seen, and he is nearly a finished fin-ished pitcher. "In the old days he relied on his ability to throw the ball by the batters in this league, just as he did in the semi-pro world. Now he has developed a nifty change of pace and has a dandy curve ball. 'T think Kremer has a wonderful future fu-ture in baseball." San Francisco Bulletin. Tom Darmody has told George Stovall to go out after the ball players he needs to make a winner out of the Tigers. Stovall Sto-vall has several players in line whom he believes will put the Tigers up in the race. The Coast league season Is a long one, and the Tigers have plenty of time to get in the running. Olaf Erickson. the big Swede who struck out fourteen Tigers in the morning game at Vernon, owes his effectiveness to a "smooth sailor." That is what Phil Koerner Koer-ner calls the ball that sails the same as a ball that is roughened with emery or any other substance. "Erickson is unable to throw a straight ball," said Koerner. "Some of the ones he throws over to first base get me tangled. "All over the league opposing batters have been kicking about him using the 'emery ball,' but that is not true. He can throw that kind of a ball, but he does not have to prepare for it." Oscar Horstman, former Angel pitcher, who is with the Cardinals this year, also threw a "smooth sailor." but he could not control it, and that was the reason for his wildness. Los Angeles Herald.

Judge lc-Credie lc-Credie said today that satisfactory progress prog-ress was being made in the negotiations of the Portland baseball players nnd himself him-self over the salary question.

A majority ma-jority of the players who have given the Idea much thought have been taken into the financial confidence of Judge Mc-Credie Mc-Credie and know just what the situation situa-tion is. The T,os Angeles club is proceeding quietly in lining up the plavers and it is believed that the whole affair will blow over atid that the Portland fans will continue con-tinue to have ('.'oast league ball for the rest cf the season. Naturally enough, the players who are drawing the largest salaries are the ones who are making ti e most strenuous objections to the cut the others being more reasonable. However. How-ever. Judge M.-Credie is gratified at the interest taken by the Portland pin vers in making some concessions, so that the game may live throughout a tense season. sea-son.
