If the Portland Coast League hull brigade has the stuff for a first divi sion finisher, the sev.n game aeries at San Franrisco. starting today, should prtduce the evidence. Not thai one series decides a pennant race any more than one proverbial swallow makes a Summer, but the Be-tvers have suc ceeded In drooping six out of seven meek sett os thus far In the race and It a high time that the highly-touted i lass asserts Itself If It Is there In nesrotable quantities. When the .""en Is left Portland five weeks aao they took along three games of the nve played. Mi-Credle's cKjb at that time appeared badly demoralise-! Bancroft had not been hit ting: Lindsay and Happs were In a rut: Koestner wasn't going good and Darkness Just couldn't last out an In ning. The hurling staff has since been tilled be H Iggtnbotham. who pitched a splen-i-.d game Sunday although a loser; Uan rroft Is clouting like a demon, so la Kutlrr. a new Intlelder. and Harkness 14-to-l seven-hit rout of Vernon last Wednesday night be taken as an Indica tion that the speckled one can be relied upon from now on. Seala et VII la Taae. San Kranclseo since the last meet ing wltn the Beavers has added Pitcher Mr.Corry. a reliable boxman. but In ternal and external disturbances have gain created a chaotic uproar In the Seal bailiwick. At leat one San Krsn-rts.-o newspaper Is loudly clamoring for the official guillotining of Man ager Long, and last week's loss of the series to Oakland, even though by but a one-game margin, will not tend for contldence among the henchmen of the t:wing-Ih combination. Sacramento has dropped eight of lbs last 12 games four to Portland nnd four to Los Angeles consequently Oakland should have little difficulty tn tossing the double edged dirk Into Patsy O Rourke's Senators. If the Oaks take a four-two edge on the series and Portland Is so extremely for tunate aa to nibble off dve games of the seven at San Kranclseo, the Beavers mill have lifted themselves out of the ?uhwy and within one game of the fourth station. The percentages would be: San in i l.-o wins. : losses. .431; Port land 1 wins. 2 losses. .li; Sacra mento 24 wins. losses. .40. With Sacramento the first prospective vic tim of a three weeks' stay at home ogioning one week from today, local fans could afford tn cast off a few ounces of grouch and go out and help tha boys battle the Senators and the rarly season odds. Bearers Are atramgrr. 'Ie Portland team as It now standa looka far more formidable than when It returned from the flret disastrous fort night In California.

Still not a few are wishing reliable BUI Steen back on McCrediea pitch ing corps. Walt s somewhat startling disserta tion against future sales to Cleveland should hustle along the Steen return for the Nan owners can 111 afford to break np the alliance which haa netted them so profitable returns. Heretofore Cleveland haa always responded to Mc Credle's appeals for help, but the best Somera has done this Spring has been to ship along two American Association men of only ordinary ability. In addition to a prospective change In cellar championship, the present week may see a new physiognomy emerging from the pennant manhole. Vernon Is now less than two games behind Oakland. In fact had not the Oaks forced out a l-to-0 victory over Cack Henley Sunday afternoon. Ver non would now be leading the proces sion. .0i to .(00 per cent. It waa tough for Henley to lose a two-hit game. Parkins was found for Ave. Hap Hogan's pitchers have not been going any too well and while his team would seem to have It on the Oaks for October reckoning. It likely will be In June before the Tigers supplant Sharpe's fighters In the tlrst groove. Hogan la counting on Ovlu, the Uni versity of Chicago college pitcher, to bolster up his flinging staff and when lie reports this week Chlmmle Wbalen will probably be dropped. Dolly Gray has proved a disappoint ment. Back Last he couldn't pitch because It was too hot, but out here be flnda It too cool. Hltt baa not been pitching up to 1911 form and Harry Stewart Is hopelessly out of condition. The bantams. In fact, have kept Ver non In the running. Hogan's games are being won right along by Dick Ha T less, Raleigh. Carson. Lltschl and Johnny Kane. Down at Oakland Manager Sharp finally has concluded that the Oaks will win the pennant. Bud la not a talkative person, but be declares that this Is his view of the situation after meeting all the clubs. W can beat Vernon and we'll beat them every se ries to the close." said he. The addition of Pitcher Jack Lively should strengthen Sharps to some ex tent, although Lively had only Indif ferent success with oetrolt. Confi dence, though. Is a big factor in base ball and. spurred on by the thought of his remarkable success with Wolver ton In 1910. he may negotiate his hoped-for "come-back." Sharp la an gling for sttll another pitcher.

I P1NKHAM TO Cll'CII Famous Left Tackle Returns to Alma Mater. MAIN AND HUG MAY HELP Bender Will Pirect Washington Kleven xt Fall Game Insured for Novemnor 1 3 Geary Seaks Word for Conference. Louis rinklium, fa my us left tackle on th University of Oregon football teams of a few years ago, has been chosen head coach at bis alma mater for 1912. and, while Plnkham has Just been in formed of the action of the athletic board and has made no announcement of his corps of assistants. It Js probable that BUI Main, captain of last Fall's squad, and George Hug. now principal of the Eugene High School, will be ajnons the number. link ham formerly was a Portland High School athlete. Later, when with the Eugene eleven, he gained recogni tion by being chosen aa all-Northwest tackle for four years running. His home Is now In Spokane, but he Is with a surveying" party near Oswego. Next September will find two new football mentors In the six conference colleges. Plnkham. at Oregon, and Johnny Bender, at Washington State, which has suffered through Inefficient coaching during the past two seasons when Osthoff had control. Bendnr de veloped excellent teams when with the Pullman crew, and his remarkable work since then at St. Louis has stamped him as on of the very best coaches In the country. Oae Game Scheduled. With a game actually insured for November 23 between the two big Ore gon institutions the state University and the Agricultural College football in the Pacific Northwest Is decidedly on the rise. These two rival Institutions have not met since 1910. Either Eu gene or Corvallls will get the annual frolicking next Fall, but It Is planned to make th game an annual event for Multnomah Field during succeeding campaign Ullmore Doble will again be found at the University of Washington: Hahn at Whitman College. Griffith at Idaho University and Sam Polan at the Ore gon Agricultural College, where Pr. Stewart, the new athletic director, also will lend a helping hand. Coach Dolan surprised all the experts lsst Fall by turning out a classy team from poor material, and the affair between the varsity and the Aggies should be a close and exciting one. (ieary Visits Portia. Arthur M. Geary, graduate manager of athletics at the University, took a flier Into Portland yeeterday to throw out a few good words for the college conference trsck championships sched uled for June 1 on Multnomah Field. Manager Geary says Oregon expects to win. but that the other five college will be strongly represented. Ira Court ney, the Seattle sprinter who proved the sensation of the Olympic trials on Saturday, at Stanford, will be here for Washington, as one of the headllners. Each school is allowed seven men. bringing the total up to 4! athletes. In recognition of valued services, Oeary was re-elected to the graduate management for 112-11S, at a consid erable advance in salary. Horlne to Jump at Toronto. TORONTO. Ontario. May JO.

REDS TO DIMINISH STAFF Spokane Tribe Now Three Men Too Many and Some Will Be Turned Over to Other Leagues. Cohn Visits Tacoma. BT JAMES H. CASSELU "When Spokane came to Portland for the first series of the season last year we were six games ahead of any other club and many thought that the Indians would make the race a run away affair. Today we . are three games from atie top, but I have more confidence In the ability of the team to win the pennant this year than last." The above declaration of optimism, made by Harry Ostdiek. manager of the Spokane Northwestern League teams last night, was the result of the news that Pitchers Noyes. of San Fran cisco, and O'LouKblln, of Oakland, top-ether with Outfielder Johnson, of San Francisco, had been turned over to Spokane and would be on hand for the series with Nick Williams' Colts this week. Indian Chiefs Are Hopeful. Neither Owner Cohn nor Ostdiek will venture prediction on the outcome of what promises to be the ureatet struggle in the history of the organ lzaton. and both are loath to pick even the contenders from the bunched field. However, Spokane finished a good sec ond last season, and the optimistic attitude of the Spokanitea fixes the In diana as their choice for the celebra tion of the pennant-raising in 1912. O'Loughlin, the Gonzaga College lad of Spokane, who was signed by Oak land, will report to the Indians today and probably will pitch this week. Johnson and Noyes are due within two days, and the former Immediately will be shoved Into the outfield, which will mean the utility role for Walter Cart wright. "Carty" plays any position on the field, and while he is putting up a nice exhibition it will be difficult to keep such a sterling fielder and hard hitter as tho ex-Seal from the regular lineup. The annexation of the Coaster trio gives the Indians a staff of 19 men, three In excess of the prescribed num ber. The squsd consists of Willis, Kraft, Cadneau, Cochran. Bridger. Noyes. O'Loughlin and Leonard, pitch ers; Zimmerman. Melchoir and John son, outfielders: Myers, Davis, Wuffli, Cooney and Shaw, infielders: Ostdiek. and Devogt, catchers, and Cartwrlght, utility man. Leonard I Recalled. "Tiny" Leonard, 'the gigantic St. Mary's slabster. secured from Connie Mack, has been with Walla Walla for several weeks, but has been recalled by the Indians. Wuffli, the slugging lnfielder, is laid up for a week with a strained ankle. . This week will witness the removal of two or three of the Reds to the Washington State League or the Union Association. Cohn figures on cutting his squad to IS men eventually, using only five pitchers, and this means that either Wuffli or Davis, together with three pitchers, will be weeded out. The Indians finally have landed a real Indian for their squad. William Cadreau, promising; right-hander, is the man in question. He is not a full blooded redskin, his mother being a Chippewa and his father a French Can- adian. He is 2s years old. lias made snlendid records In South Dakota and Montana, and Is proving; a great card over the circuit- The Spokane management and play ers resent the reports that "Hunky" Shaw, their stellar thlrd-sacker, has been suspended. Shaw has had no trouble since he joined the club and Manager Ostdiek says that things are as harmonious as in the proverbial happy family. Fielder A. Jones, president of the Northwestern League, went to Tacoma yesterday to try and straighten out the tangled financial affairs of the Ta coma Club. Business men of the city are anxious to keep the club there and promise to support the team, so the matter probably will be adjusted" with in a few days. "Soldier" Mauser. Spokane's way ward slabbing phenom. Is no longer figured among the Indian pitchers. He carried three suitcases from Spokane to Tacoma, claiming: that they were checked by mistake, then Jumped the Indians at Tacoma. and finally landed In jail. Joe Cohn says Mauser has more speed than any pitcher he ever saw, but has washed his hands of the unreliable one. With the Northwestern League sea eon five weeks old the race Is the pret tiest seen In the circuit for years. Spo kane is in fourth place, but could take the lead by winning two straight from the Colts and the Bees dropping two to Victoria. Seattle, the tail-ender. Is seven games from the top, and only four games behind Spokane. Rain Interfered with every game in the Northwestern League yesterday. This cuts the Portland series this week to six games, necessitating a double header when the Indians next appear In Portland late in the Summer. Manager Ostdiek has not decided upon his pitcher for today, but Wil liams haa chosen Tonneson for th Colls. Cohn figures the Indians the speed iest team In the circuit, but Portland Is generally conceded the crown In this department, with the arrival of Cruik shank. giving; the Colts even a strong er position. Crulkshank arrived In Portland yesterday and will be In left field this afternoon for the Colts. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Boston 2, Chicago 0. BOSTON. May I.

PENALTY FOR ACT UNFIXED Club Owners of League AV1II Hold Special Meeting Today to De cide Punishment Navin to . Give Fine Immunity. PHILADELPHIA, May 30. Because they did not want to see Frank Navin, president of the club, suffer for any action on their part, the players of the Detroit American League baseball club called off their strike today and agreed to play the regular, scheduled game in Washington tomorrow, with out the services of Tyrus Cobb. Thus ends one of the most extra ordinary situations that has ever been brought about in organized baseball. In announcing their decision to re turn, the players said they want It dis tinctly understood they still will fight for the principle involved and for which they struck. In returning to the club the players received no concessions from Ban Johnson, who had indefinitely suspend ed Ty Cobb for attacking a spectator in a game in New York last week. Navin Promises to Help. Mr. Navin. however, promised the men that If they returned he will do his utmost to have Cobb reinstated as quickly as possible; that he will do all he can as a club owner to have the American League give better protec tion to the players on the field against unsportsmanlike conduct by spectators and that he will see that none of the players will suffer any financial loss by reason of any fines that may be imposed upon them. The special meeting of the American League will be held tomorrow at 11 A. M.. at which the clubowners will decide what punishment, if any, shall be inflicted upon the strikers. The question of a fine against the club, it is expected, will also be taken up by the league. When Mr. Johnson was told that some of the players had intimated that Cobb might be reinstated Wednesday or Thursday he said they had "an other guess." Mr. Johnson would not talk about the action cf the men in determining to return to the field. " Xavln Works Energetically. Matters began to develop as soon as Mr. Navin arrived here. He saw Mr. Johnson and had an understanding and then conferred with the players. Mr. Navin said it was a question of whether the players or the club own ers would run the league. Mr. Navin made a personal appea to his players. He told them he was the principal sufferer in the affair and he did not feel it was Just to him. Cobb told the players he felt that he was responsible for what had oc curred and that, while he appreciated the action of his teammates, he felt that for the sake of Mr. Navin, who had always treated them well, the players should reconsider their action and return to the club. After the- conference several of the Detroit men said now that the' ques tion had been brought to public at tention, they would keep up the agita- CLEAR HAVANA CIGAR Tornay-Fernandez Co.T"Afvf da Fi A MANUFACTURERS 1 "V-.,! -LA.. 0o$ooEach that's the way you feel when you KNOW your new suit is absolutely correct, and that it will WEAR in short, that's the way you feel in our S17 Guaranteed to equal any $22.50 suit.
