SALT LAKE irouml up the 1919 Coast league baseball season so far as local activities are concerned con-cerned with two victories over the Vernon Tigers yesterday. The : double dei'eat of tl J'ViiKnls and the 'double victory of the Angels puts Los Ancele3 out in front in the pennant race by a game and a half. The most remarkable exhibition of misplays ever scon in baseball was .given yesterday. The clubs were '.equally 'guilty. In the first game six of the nine players who took part booted the ball. In the second gan.. seven different Vernon players made misplays. The only Bees to cseaiie charges of errors in the op?ner were j ' the catcher, pitcher and centerfielder. In the second game, the only Tiger positions po-sitions to escape were lito catcher and . second baseman. Baum Refuses to Cave. Charlev Baum pitched n remarkable ball game in the first, utterly d'isre-. d'isre-. garding the numerous boots of his mates and going his wnv without turning turn-ing a hair. But the multitude of errors behind him made a difference to Hex j Dawson, and he was loser by a big margin. The result of the first game was 7 :to'6 and of the second U to The first game was decided in the ninth inning in-ning when Hack Spencer's sacrifice fly . brought in the winning run from third. 1 -The second was won in the sev.n;h when Marty Krug knocked the ball over the fence, breaking a HI tie. Prize winners were Moffat and Krug, who drew the dailv coal supply- Al Gould pitched the closing game of the season and was fully supported .by his fellow Bees with the hickory. Bees Fear Bunt. The first game, and, so far as that 'goes, the sexmd one, too, might have been won much earlier if the Bees had : not been terror stricken at tho i'l'-a of a bunt. In the second game, Al "Gould, ignoring all precedent, and pre-'suniablv pre-'suniablv also the manager's strictest ordTS," bunted and sent The Bees on their wav. Xo doubt Jlerr almost dropped dead when he saw somebody do -something beside trying to knock the eve out of the ball. "Salt Lake has lost at least fifteen baseball games, this season bv the fail-: uti of the director of play to "try son.ething" occasionally. Time:-) innumerable in-numerable the Bees have had men on .second and third with none out or one -out and flv balled themselves out of .-.existence. The deadly i'.-ar which lias .been shown of the bunt has been a deep and baffling my.-icry. Has Been Maddening. At times the exhibition of iU-r lack of effort in this direction has le-n pitiful piti-ful and always it has been in.-iddeiiiiig. A manager may tafk high and mighty about "sornebodv trying to ran his ball club for him," but it. is the truth that -not one of the speclators who have h'-i tended ball games this year hut would have brought in more runs than uei.i brought in" with the opuort unit ies pre-' B'-nted or, at least, tried to.
