Show BETTER THAN AN . EVEN BREAK THIS SET, PLEASE, EDDIE : BEES WILL MEET BEAVERS IN SIX GAMES THIS WEEK Salt Lakers Get Fifty-fifty Result at Seattle; Portlanders Much Stronger Than When Two Clubs Previously Clashed; Series in Seattle Well Patronized. BEGINNING today, tho r.ees will play Walter McCrcdie's Ueavers a six -game -set at Portland. The UoavL-rs had the bi.-ttM- of the Coyot-.'S last wool;, winning four t-f tho six fames played, two of them in extra innings. The Bees and the Till i-cums i-cums split at Seattle. The Beavers are a much improved club over tho capabilities they demonstrated fn their Salt Lalco set. Geurgc Mated i a great ball pip yer and completes a fat and 'ha nJ -hitting outfield for MeCro-die. MeCro-die. Frunk Walker, who was injured in Salt .Lake in his second pa me, is playing a strong game. Ted "West.jrzil at third and Don Kador at short rlve MrOredie a. real infidd. The Bees, therefore, will face a forniidahle, array of talent at Portland Port-land this week. Bee Pitching Spotty. Salt lake's pitching last week, with one outstanding game, was pretty much of the spotted variutv. Itaiph Siroud lost two games to l,yle Bigbec. Cliff Markie st art t d twice, but was wild and was lifted each time. The first game Cliff essayed to pitch was lost in the opening inning, when he walked five men. Miles Main saved the second game for Markie, the Bee bus tecs coming to his aid with a three-run rally in the ninth inning. Al Gould got away with a victory in the second game of Sunday's double-header. Walter Leverenz pitched a fine game. Thursday, shutting out the Tillicums. It was the first shutout game Salt Lake has won this season. .Leverenz upon several occasions has pitched shutout ball, .but somehow or other the opposition managed man-aged to makv some runs on errors. It seems probable that Peverenz will start for the Bees against the Beavers today. Rumler Bustin' 'em. The Salt Luke club improved its team htttmg last week. They now lead the league with a remarkable average of .Zv'l, being .Wi better than their .showing- a week ago. Bill Rumler is heading the band. Bill busted 'em regularly ami hard in tho Seattle series and it was largely due to his biffing that the Bees got a 50-uO break. ari Sheely has been in a slump for two woeks. At .Seattle, Karl got only three hits in six games. It is reasonable to expect that Karl will soon resume the business of hiUiu' 'em where they ain't. Eddie Fitzpa trick, purchased from the Boston Braves, evidently did not report to the Bees at Seattle, as wes expected. No word has been received locally as to Eddie's whereabouts or probable reporting report-ing time. Del Howard of the Oaks got a new riteher from the Cubs last week Harry Weaver. He lost his first start. Howard also swapped Pitcher Lynn Brenton to Seattle for Pitcher Cy Palkenburg. New Players. Manager Clymer of the Tillicums had two new slabs trs at work last week. He acquired Clyde Thomas in a swap with "Wichita for Abe Bowman and bought Mike Regan from Cincinnat i. Both lost their opening games. Pete Lapan, hardhitting hard-hitting catcher, formerly with the Angels, An-gels, has poined the Kainlers. Death Valley Jim Scott won one of the two games the Seals took from Los Angeles, An-geles, and Tom Seaton, allowing the Angels An-gels but one hit, v.-on the other. In one of the games at Los Angeles last week, the Tigers made twenty-six hits and twenty runs off the Oak pitchers. pitch-ers. Hughle Hight, the new Tiger outfielder, out-fielder, is making a grunt start in the Coast league. He is hitting the ball hard. The Oaks suffered a real calamity when Hack Miller suffered a broken leg while sliding into home plate after making mak-ing a home run. Miller is .likely to be out of the game for two mouths. Hack had run his hitting in consecutive games up to twenty-nine when the accident occurred. oc-curred. Howard was fortunate in picking pick-ing up Claude Cooper, former Angel, to take Miller's place. The Portlanders have released Pitcher Guy Cooper and probably will release Pitcher George Pennington. The clubs this week play as follows: Salt Lake at Portland. Sacramento at Seattle. Oakland at Los Angeles. Vernon at So n Francisco. Among the leaders in various departments depart-ments of offense are the foliownig: IU'N GETTLPS. Lane.
