Show I Salt Lake Must Add Six Games to Its Roster This Week in Order to Land in First Division. Salt Luke, Aug. 29. While the Utes are tangling in a nine-game series with the Seals this week, playing a double-header Sunday and next Monday, Mon-day, other clubs also will be kept tolerably busy. ' Frank Chance will lead Ills Seraphic Sera-phic tribe up to Portland to try his luck in an eight-game clash, but one Sunday game being played, and Del Howard's rejuvenated Oaks will tackle Vernon in Los Angeles, playing play-ing nine struggles. The Angels suffered a serious loss to Oakland last week, but the giat the Commuters are traveling accounts ac-counts for that, and the league lea-rtorn; lea-rtorn; Rlinnlrl rHunnsA nf PnrtlnnH -with I little trouble. Down in Los Angeles the Bengals may expect a bunch of troublo Jn their tangle with the How-ardites. How-ardites. The performance of the Oakland tribe since leaving Salt Lake only proves what practically every sport critic on the coast claimed, at the start of the season. The transbay gang is a good ball club, one of the best combinations in the P. C. L. All It needed was a capable manager, and Howard is filling the bill. Had he had the team at the start of the race there is no telling where the club would, be today, instead of in the basement. Salt Lake's series at San Francisco will be a tough one. These multiple I game series are particularly nara on the pitchers, as a manager has to work his best bets much harder than usual, and often they can't hold up under the strain. Of course, that rule works both ways, but now that Blank-enship Blank-enship has just got his fingers working work-ing right, it's tough to buck up against a nine-game series. Salt Lake must annex six of the struggles from the Seals to land in the first division. If the Utes accomplish accom-plish that, and the Oaks continue to play as brilliantly as they have been for the past two weeks, second place won't be such a long ways ahead of the Blankmen. |
