SALT LAKE April 28. Bill Rod cors and his peppery' Senators from Sacramento will be with us for I he first time since that city's entry into the league, starting I his afternoon. They will engage in a serloji of six .nil, - with the Bees, and a merry In -tie battle it should be. First of all, it should resolve Itself into a battle of managers' wits, Not! so many years ago when Portland, under the management of Walter Mi Credie used to have a habit of win ning all the pennants, many fans were inclined lo give the Beaver captain a whole lot of the credit with McCredie The captain of those Beavers was none other than this same Bill Rod gers, who is today making the "ex perts" sit up and take notice with hi new Solons 3econd, it will be a battle between cities. In the winter of 1911-1915, the citj ol Sacramento was rudely drop ped from Pacific Coast league mem bership and Salt Lake City was slip ped in in place of it. Sacramento, chances are, holds no ill-will tow. ml Salt Lake, and, likewise, we have nothing at all against the California capital, but the fact remains that, all games between the two baby cities of the league this season are bound to be full of real old baseball rivalry. Has Peppery Club, On paper Rodgers' club does not look strong, but on the damoml. it h 1 certalnly delivered the goods and that after all is what counts. The coast fans who have seen Rodgers' dub in ac tion are inclined to give Bill nine tenths of the credit for the manner in which the Sacramento club has been up and corning and chances are that they are not missing it very far be cause Bill always was a little pepper box himself and. if he is instilling his fight Into the boys with any degree of success, he must have a ball club. At any rate, we'll see this week. The Sacramento club numbers among its players the following men who once played under McCredie at Portland and who have been seen here before Rodgers, Wllie, Pinelli, Griggs. Fisher and Brenton. It also has five, former Bees in Easterly. Eldred, West. Davis and Gardner. Harry Wolter will probably join the club here this week. Starts an Argument. It always remains for the town-lot-ters to dig up the 'new ones for the book." as ball players say. Yesterday several local independent club manag ers came to us with the following problem "Runner on second base. Batter swings at two and the umpire calls the third one. The batter, thinking, that he has been struck out, starts for' Ihe bench When approaching the I bench his manager yells to him telling him to run it out for the reason that the catcher has missed the third sti Ike and the ball has rolled to the stand. Hp does. He reaches first base. The catcher, sound asleep like the batter, does not make any kind of a play on the runner. Is the batsman out or is he entitled to first base?" This little problem started quite an 1 argument last night. Buddy Ryan and several others insist that the runner is ! out on general principles. Walter Mc Credie says the runner is entitled to I the bag. Umpire Pearl 1 ase says he would rule that the runner is not out UUiess ne is pill OUT.. Our little guess will have to go with 1 that of Casey and .McCredie. I have failed to find a rule in the books on the strength of which the batsman could 1 be called out. The fact that he ran or1 walked out of the line does not enter into the argummi. for the reason that he did not run into the diamond and ( therefore could not be penalized for interfering with anything or anybody. Another One. Here's another argument we were asked to settle last night fur C Gal lacher. although there is not much chance for difference of opinion on thle one. Mr. Gallacher propounds this 1 question. "Runner occupying first base Batter j hits fowl down third has.- line which' is not caught. Batter does no! leave bla boy and bail is returned to pitcher and , relayed to first before runner returns MINNESOTA BOXING COMMISSION AGREES 1 TO WILLARD-FULTON BOUT ON JULY d ST PACT. Minn., April 22 Th Minnesota boxing commission, after B long conference with Promoter J. C. Miller late today voted unanimously o approve the pioposed Willard-Ful -ton fight at St. Paul on July 4. The i run m i - - ion and i 'olonel Milh r reached an agreement whereby Wil lard and Fulton will receive their liar.- of Ihe fight in Liberty bonds bought at par in the Twin Cities. Col onel Miller agreed to give 12', per cent of the gross receipts to the Red Cross, or the government recreation fund, and he also agreed to donate 25 per cent of all money received from the fij-'ht pictures to the war recrea tion fund. In addition to these donations, Col onel Miller will pay 10 per cent of the gross fight receipts to the state, as re quired hy law This money would go to the Minnesota lubereulosls fund. There also is a government war lax of 10 per rent on every ticket sold. k also was pointed out that the showing of tho fight pictures would yield another large sum to the govern ment in the form of war tax. II was estimated that the fight might attract a capacity house and that the to ba e. The runner returned to first without loafing. Is the runner safe or out?" The ball Is "dead," of course, and j the runner is not out. OAKS SURPRISE OF COAST LEAGUE By Edwin F. O'Malley j LOS ANGELES. April 22 The sur prise party In the Pacific Coast league 'In the first ten days' play Is the show ing made by Oakland under the lead ership of that Apollo of wester base ball. Del Howard. The Commuters look to be a patched ip bunch, the new comers being seen at second, short and centerfleld. It will take two mighty good players to fill the berths left vacant by Rod Murphy and Billy Lane. Del Howard, however, Is a clever manager and must have seen some thinis' in Leifer, Christian and croll be fore he assigned' tbem to their re spective positions His organization lsl rather an experimental affair, which later on may develop into one of the best in the league He is buttressed well in the catching department with old Honus Mitze wearing a mask.

Thee two should win many a game for him before next j October crawls around. They have' been tried and not found wanting, and! barring accidents, should be twirling them over in great shape in the clos-i ing weeks of the season. It is too! early to declare that Del is playing far beyond his strength, f - who! knows but what his three new men j may prove to be exceptionally strong, in which case he would have an ex cellent chance to finish in the urst di vision. Bill Essick Is surprising the wise acres, Q number of whom hinted that ho had the worst club in the league.1 This weakness has not been borne out) in the light of the first two weeks' I developments. The Tigers held their own up Sacramento way and with any kind of luck would have grabbed the 1 series. Their first two games with the Angels showed them to he well balanced in all departments. Bill's pitchers are all going good, especially Quinn whom many regard as the best slabman on the coast. Borton and Long are beginning to find the ball. Mitchell Is making good at short and the two old standbys, Dales and t hadbourne, are playing with their former brilliancy. BS8i k is looking for several more players to strengthen his club and unless all Bigna fail we look to see the despised Bengals finish in the first division. The Angela are going along on the even tenor of their way. They have losl several games through ill luck at a critical stase ,,t proceedings Kille fer'B arm is still a little weak, a handi- ?gross receipts in that, case, would htM $150,000. if the pictures yielded slmT liar returns, the var recreation fnni'ifl would be enriched S37 500 from thafl latter income, while the same fund nr9 the Red Cross, would receive ?18 7BB from the fight. The state would WW 116,000 in tax receipts and so would! the government. The sovr-mmentl would also collect the tax on the show 1 int: of the pictures.
