Special to The Tribune. LOG AX, July 27. The renl pennant rnce in the Cache vnlley league will be resumed this week with greater viyror than ever. According to the present st finding, five teams are contenders con-tenders for the title, there being o difference differ-ence of only ttiree and a half panics between the leiulins club and the fifth team. At no other time has such keen interest been manifested in b:isfha 11 here. The Cache league tace hau been close nil the way ami that is the principal reason why ko much interest has been taken, and now, with only five more games for ench club, it is getting hot, ns each team is anxious to out the Collegians from first place. Games this week will have n great deal to do with the standing of the teams, and it is not expected that the title will be settled iipm until the last game of the schedule. Ijogan leads Richmond by a margin of two garnet), wltl five to play with the strongest tennis in the league, while Kichmond has six games that are thought to be easier for them than those to be played by Logan, ltichinond leads Preston by a half pame, and these two .clubs will meet Wednesday at Richmond, so that a slntkeup may follow. Logan will meet Lewiston again twice this week, the first game coming on Wednesday at Logan and the second nt Lewiston nt the latter's ground. Lewiston is headed by Preston by a half pa me margin. Smithfield is a half game behind Lewiston and they will meet Wcllsville the coming week. Wellsvltle has practically been eliminated in the pennnnt scrap, having lost two-thirds of their panics, but the Irrigators are determined to get out of the cellar. They have six games yet to play. During the past two weeks the clubs have been strengthened greatly by heavers who are nothing less than class A caliber. As most of the clubs now have good pitchers, a tight race is sure to ensue. During the past week Lopnn acquired n new flinger to help cnfdera. Richmond hns got Mclvor of Seattle and Gar-rick, Gar-rick, formerly of Preston, to do the mound work. Itoth are good men. The eyes of nil the clubs In the league arc on the post-season set with the Yellowstone-Snake Yellowstone-Snake River champs. It is quite certain that the fast Itexbtirg club will be the winners in the Idaho circuit and they will be a hard problem to any Cache club to figure 'out. as they have lost only one game this year. It is quite uncertain who will be winners in Cache, with four strong teams going after the title, j The first game with the northern team will be played at Rexburg August 15' and IS nnd the j clubs will play again in Cache valley on August Au-gust 19 and 20. The series will continue until one of the clubs has won four games.
