George Maisel, who has been out of the game on account of injuries, will probably rejoin the Beavers Beav-ers at San Francisco.

Special to The Tribune. LOS ANGELES, July 20. Business Manager Morley of the Los Angeles club has found an alibi for the home-run fence creature of the brain that threatens hereafter to make the Angels and the Tigers deadly enemies off as well as upon the diamond. The alibi is the $10,000 promised either of the local clubs, provided it wins the season's pennant. Asserting that he is opposed to bonuses of all kinds, Morley says most of the Angels' kick against the fence is not against the fence,' but as a possible impediment to the players play-ers grabbing the coin, all of which is quite naive, coming from one of the Los Angeles club personnel. Business Manager Halbriter of the Tigers Tig-ers has assumed a rather anti-fence attitude. atti-tude. Personally, he was never strong for it, and now fears that a club not in a class with either the Tigers or the Angels may win the pennant because of the fence if it continues standing until the end of the season. Ten thousand cash customers and 10,000 more ladies saw Saturday afternoon's contest, which figure would seem to justify jus-tify Morley 's alleged reason for building the fence. Outfielder Cunningham of Seattle arrived ar-rived today to take special treatment of Club Physician Spencer before the opening open-ing of the Seattle-Vernon series Tuesday. |
