Rain here today put a different aspect on the Pacific Coast league pennant race. A double-header double-header between Vernon and Salt Lake was called off, and threatened rain tomorrow to-morrow makes it look as though a second sec-ond two-game affair would be called. The Vernon club expected to take at least three of tie four games with Salt Lake, which would put it within striking distance of the Angels in next week's series. If the two games are canceled and not made up, the Los Angeles An-geles team will enter the final week with a big advantage over the Tiger?. Vernon fans have all gone into mourning. Angel rooters are celebrating, celebrat-ing, and feel confident that the Los Angeles team has the pennant cinched. Herr Favors Vets. Only veterans men with iron nerves and no so-called temperament are wanted for the Salt Lake, club next year. Herr has taken his stand; and while it does not entirely shut out the youngsters, he made it very definite today that the man who has fought his way up in the game will have the preference. pref-erence. Herr believes there has been a deal too much coddling of so-called ' promising lads ?' in the Coast league. He says it has developed nerves and temperament, and. so far as he is concerned, con-cerned, anv voungster who gets into the Bee camp for 1020 must be hard-boiled hard-boiled and ready to stand the gaff. Jim Morley's baseball days are almost al-most ore:. Whether he leaves the national na-tional sport in a blaze of glory, with the bands playing, or whether he silently si-lently slips out. depends entirely upon the winning of the pennant by Los Angeles. An-geles. His contract as business manager for the Angels expire? next Wednesday, Wednes-day, and he will be with the club only through the critical series with the Tigers. Naturally, if Los Angeles wins the pennant, he will remain over for the western world series. Then he will enter the automobile business. Washington park may soon be simply a spot of historic interest. The present pres-ent lease expires March 1, and Morley is frank in admitting that he has advised ad-vised Presidents Powers and Arbuckle that new grounds would prove advantageous. advan-tageous. His idea is that a large acreage acre-age should be obtained close in and a stadium built which would not only prove attractive and comfortable, but which would architecturally be worthy of the game. Roscoe Arbuckle may become the controlling owner in the Vernon ball team. Throughout the season gossip has been bubbling often to the effect that Arbuckle is really the team's owner, own-er, but no one has been sure enough to say so definitely. Now it develops that the option of 'the Arbuckle-Halbriter-Anger combine expires October 5. To all intents and purposes, Ed R. Maier, millionaire brewer, is the controlling stockholder, and whether he will relinquish re-linquish his holdings to Arbuckle is problematical; and, to make the issue a bit more mv&terious. it is said Arbuckle Ar-buckle wants the question of territorial rights definitely settled before he becomes be-comes a club owner. The Los Angeles club now has the territorial rights to play ball in Lo3 Angeles and an area five miles in extent outside the city's limits. Arbuckle wants the Tigers to have their territorial rights fixed before be-fore he takes o-nerhip. He prefers rot to be a Jugoslav, with Los Angeles holding Fiume. Meusel in Disgrace. Bobby Meusel is in disgrace. He has been out of Vernon 's lineup for two games because he broke training. Undoubtedly, Un-doubtedly, he will finish out the season, and at the close Essiek will heave a bigh of relief, for Meu&el 's erratic conduct has been a constant source of worry. The boy goes to the Yanks next waso'n. Every piaver on the Los Angeles and Vernon clubs is fighting there days with every bit of vim, vigor and deter-a deter-a mination he has in him. There is not the least svmptom of anv "laying down." Next wek will be a wild one at Washington park- A compromise in the matter of rules will undoubtedly be reached when the championship series between St. Paul and the Pacific Coa-t league winning club is plaved.
