Show WHAT'LL THE LAST WEEK BRING FORTE' BEES TO ENGAGE . TIGERS IN EIGHT GAMES THIS WEEK Vernon Series Will Spell Finish of Coast League Baseball in Salt Lake for 1919; Two Bargain Days Provided to Polish Off Summer of Hopes, Fears, Happiness and Discouragement. THE series between tho Vernon Tl;;ers anil the Salt Lake Bees, which begins this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, will finish up Coast League b.u-ieball In Salt Lake for the year IS lit. In ord'-r that the fans may be given ru much baseball as possible in the final week, the local mami geinent announces eight Karnes for the series. There will be doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. Sun-day. Kollowing the close of play In Salt Lake, the Dees go to f.os Angeles, whero they will play the 'tigers eight more game?, and they will close the league season at San Francisco in a set-to with the Oaks. , Tho week beginning today Is the tw.-nty-1'ourth of the l'Jlfl season, which, this year, consists of twenty-six weeks, us compared with thirty weeks heretofore. hereto-fore. It will be tho thirteenth week at Honlievillo park for the Bees. All of tho clubs of the league except Sacramento, Sacra-mento, will have played twice in Salt : Lake; the Coyotes were booked for only ' one aeries In Zion. At tho close of the season, Salt Lake will havo visited every , other club's town twice, excupt Port- land, where only one series was played, and, it will be recalled, that an ex-' ex-' tremoly disastrous one, tho Bees losing six straight games. ; The Concluding Scries. 1 While tho Tigers and llees are playing In Salt Lako this week. San Francisco will plnv at Los Angeles, Sacramento at Oakland, and Seattle at Portland. 1 The following week's alignment is: ' Salt Lake at Vernon; Los Angeles at Seattle; Oakland at San Francisco, and . Sacramento at Portland. The closing week finds the clubs play-. play-. Ing as follows: Salt . Lake at Oakland; Los Angeles at Vernon; San FranciHco at Portland and Sacramento at Seattle. Thus far the play between the Tigers and tho Uees has been largely In favor of tho latter'. Salt Lako has won eight of i tho twelve games played to a do-. do-. clsion. Ono game was postponed and another was tied. Sixteen Games With Tigers. ir H should happen that, the Bees wade through tho Tigers in similar fashion fash-ion for the sixteen games yet to be plaved bv tho two nines, Salt Lake will finish well up, for it Is reasonably certain that the concluding series between the Tigers and Angels at Los Angeles will be about an even break. Tho series between the Seals and the Bees supplied us with a poor article of basebnll. Both clubs fielded erratically and tho pitching on neither side was up to much. In tho opening game and in the two Sundav games there was some brilliant baseball playing, but otherwise tho exhibitions were pretty much off color. The event of the week was the playing of tho reconstructed game, left unfinished unfin-ished from June 29. The reproduction was won by Salt Lako in the eleventh inning, two extra Innings being required to reach a decision. Earl Sheely resumed the practice of hitting during the week, and knocked several over the fence. Bill Rumler showed flashes of his old form, and it is to bo hoped that he will have shaken the jinx entirely by this afternoon. Krug Bee Mainstay. The best baseball was played by Marty Krug, Harlcy Maggert and Earl Sheelv. All three performed some sparkling spark-ling 'feats afield. Krug has kept the club on its legs for the last six weeks. About 60 per cent of the games Salt Lake won on their late road trip were dlrectlv attributable to Krug's timely hitting and his fielding. Marty made rather a poor start in the Coast league, but ho Is making a grand finish. Last week Los Angeles won six of nine games from Oakland; Sacramento won seven straight from Seattle, and Vernon beat Portland six of eight, taking the first six in a row. The only close series of the week, consequently, was that between be-tween the Seals and the Bees, which ended at four games each. Negotiations are in progress between Thomas Hickey. president of the American Amer-ican association, and the managements of the Los Angeles and Vernon clubs looking to the playing of a post-season lnterleaguo game. St. Paul is thought to havo a cinch on the A. A. pennant. It is reported that an offer of $25,000 cash lias been made tho A. A. winner to make the trip to the coast. A hitch ha9 arisen over the number of players each side may use, the limit in the American association being lower than that of the Coast league, but it is not thought this difference will stand in the way of an arrangement for an after-season after-season class AA championship "world's series." Bill Kenworthy, Loii Angeles lnfielder, was suspended by Manager Killefer for the remainder of the season, but signed up with Seattle. Aside from that transfer, the week was barren of player switches. The Week's Work. The week's records of the clubs, showing show-ing their activities on offense, follows: Q B R H. 2b. 3b.HR.TB. SH.
