Now is the time for the Garrison finish. fin-ish. Tho Utes got a good start on the final three months' play by copping cop-ping five or six games with Oakland. This week they face Ham Patterson's collection of baseballors on tho homo lot, and if they take the edge in tho series they will be at the .500 mark, or possibly better. Fans won't soon forget the great pace set by the Utes at the end of last season. Are they due for another such burst of speed this year? Tho club is going better now than at any time this season, and despite handicaps, handi-caps, is putting up a great article of ball. Utes Going Well. With Piercey and Fittery to be depended de-pended on, and Hall and Hughes both speeding thorn over with old-time gusto, gus-to, tho Blankmen's chances are good. Then tho sklppor has Chester Hoff, his new southpaw, to fall back upon. Hoff has not boon in a game since making his debut on the coast, so his real ability 1b largely a matter of speculation as yet. If ho hits a winning win-ning stride there will bo no stopping tho Salt Lakers until they havo climbed climb-ed at least one notch higher in the race for tho gonfalon. The dropping of the series to Los AngelGB last week by San Francisco put tho Utes in a bettor position, to movo up to third place, but at the same time increased the lead of the Chancemen. What really benefited tho locals was tho sound drubbing .handed the Beavers by the Vernon club. |
