With the double header with Sacra mento today at the Vaughn-street park the Portland Beavers will com mence a three weeks' series of games here. The opening game will start this morning at 10:30 o'clock, and the second at 2:30 this afternoon. The Pacific Coast League clubs, by this season's schedule, are shunted Into Portland in succession, and this time the schedule calls for Sacramento as the opening club, which gives Port land two successive weeks against Charley Graham's team, as the Beavers played at Sacramento last week. Record Is Good. . The Beavers, during the three weeks they have been away from home, played 21 games and succeeded In win ning 10 of these. Had they been favored by better fortune during the series with the Oakland team, the record would have been much more satisfactory, as they dropped six out of seven games played with Wolverton's bunch. The Portland twlriers were not working up to form In the Oakland series, for Portland batted well enough to have won at least three of the seven games, but the pitchers were handled unmercifully by the Oak and six successive defeats fell to Portland's portion. The suspension of Benny Henderson Is a severe blow to the Beavers, though McCredle did remarkably well In Sac ramento with only three dependable twlriers. as Portland won five of the seven games played. Xeie Pitchers Needed. However, It is too- much to expect Seaton, Steen and Koestner to pitch every third day. and that Is what is now being required of these twlriers, so It seems quite likely that McCredie will Introduce a new pitcher or two to the Portland fans in the near future. Steen, who pitched at Sacramento Sat urday, and Koestner, who twlrlnd part of the Sunday morning engagement, will probably be called upon to offici ate on the hill for Portland today, and Tommy Seaton, who should have a whole week's rest after that 19-lnnlng battle Sunday, will likely be sent to the firing line tomorrow. Being; shy of pitchers is a heavy handicap to a club, and If any of Portland's trio of twlriers go to the bad now, the team will be In hard straits. Following the Sacramento Club, Ver non will be the attraction next week, and the third week will be the second visit to Portland of the San Francisco Seals. PLAYER HITS FAX; ARRESTED Ed Kennedy, Tacoma Fielder, Also In Trouble for Language. TACOMA. Wash., July 8. (Special.) Edward Kennedy, utility In and out nefder for the Tacoma Tigers, was ar rested today on charges of assault In the first degree and disorderly conduct. The first charges grew out of an as sault on R. W. Sands by Kennedy after the game 6unday. Sands had been jeer ing and hooting at Kennedy and was struck and knocked down by the player as he was leaving the stand after the game. The seoond charge Is preferred by several fans who take exceptions to Kennedy's replies to criticism from the stands. The complaint charges he used vile and obscene language and is guilty of disorderly conduct. Presi dent Shreeder has announced If Ken nedy Is proved guilty he will assess a fine In addition to the penalty Inflicted by the court. The case will be heard Wednesday afternoon by Police Magistrate Arntson. 'HCXKY" SHAW WILL WED San Kr and sco Player and Fresno Girl Secure License. SAX FRANCISCO, July S.

BT HOSCOE FAWVKTT. A Portland ball fan asks -why it is that the Western League has so many more .300 hitters during the season than the Coast League. "I formerly lived In Denver and It seems to me the Western Leaguers are better clout ers than your Pacific Coasters." says the man from the altitudlnous town. The questioner shows an Intimate acquaintance with the facts with re spect to the number of .800 swatters, but an entire lack of knowledge of conditions responsible for the batting phenomenon. A little studying of the dope books for the past seven years reveals that the Western League heads the list of all major and minor cir cuits with 137 men over the coveted .200 mark in the seven years. The Northwestern League haa 90 and the Coast League but 52. "The air Is rarer in tne lofty cities of the league and a ball goes farther," says ene man, advancing a reason for the plethora of 24-karat Ty Cobbs. "The scorers are more lenient," says another baseball expert. The chief reason, however, is far removed from either of the foregoing and lies In the quality of ball used by the league. "Your view coincides with mine ex actly," said Outfielder Pettlgrew, of the Portland Roadsters, when the query was put to him the other day. "The Western League does not use the Reach or Spalding official ball, but an other cheaper make, much more lively oven than the new cork-center affair. Western League outfielders play much farther back than garden-rompers out here, so far back, in fact, that putouts at the plate from field throws are few and far between." Pettlgrew played In the Western League for three years. The following figures show the num ber of hitters for seven years back: Western League 137, American League 131. Connecticut State League 95. Northwestern League 90, Eastern League 88. Southern League 86, Amer ican League 83, National League 81. New York State League 76, Central League 74, New England League 58, Paclflo Coaat League 62, Three-I League 48. a a Judge McCredle ha been pelted with a new scheme for season baseball passes.
