Spokane today again passed up a chance to take the, lead In this nerve wracking Northwestern League pen nant race, succumbing to Portland by a 5-2 score. For the rude affront to the hopeful loyalty of Spokane fans. Manager Will iams explains that his club also has designs on the 1912 pennant and from the manner in which they performed today there seemes to be some founda tion for such an ambition. They played like real champions and. despite the perseverance and pepper of Spokane, easily held a strong and safe lead to the end, snuffing out an incipient rally In the ninth with merciless execution. Strmnd In Hammered. The contest may be said to Illustrate the difference between good and bad batting-." Strand had more stuff on the ball than Steiger. but the Colts lammed the Spokane southpaw's slants more viciously and opportunely than Spokane could reach the laxy lobs of the Tortland portsider. Portland connected when a hit meant a run, but Spokane popped weakly and fanned ingloriously. The only fielding miscue was a peg by Coltrin to head off Paul Strand, try ing to make third on his long drive to left center. The ball and runner ar rived about the same time and the ball went through Kibble to the players' bench. Strand scoring. The fielding was at all other times clean, sharp and even sensational, f'ooney kept interrupting Portland's hatting sprees. Altman cut off a few hard slams and Zimmerman robbed one or two Colts of ordinarily safe drives. Strand cannot blame his support to day for his defeat. The ratnpaging Portland sluggers hit everything that came over and hit hard and far. Mild Pitch Helps Colin. They slammed four balls right on the nose in the first Inning, yet, strangely enough, would not have scored save for a wild pitch by Strand. Two bobs were speedily cashed Into Portland runs in the second, when Steiger fol lowed with a hard slam and Kibble's infield out was such a hard rap that few shortstops but Cooney would have got even the man at first base. The runs In the eighth and ninth came on consecutive clean hitting. Score: Spokane I Portland Ab.H.Po.A.E-l AO.H.PO.A.E.

CUB GIF BED Murphy Says Giants Cannot Win Pennant Unaided. REPORTED DEAL SCORED Chicago Magnate Surprised Bres nalian, of Cardinals, Should Be in AVith McGraw on Pro- posed World Tonr. CHICAGO. Aug. 12. In a statement Issued today Charles W. Murphy, presi dent of the Chicago Club of the Na tional League, changed that the New York team would not win the National League pennant "without undue as sistance from other teams." The statement was issued in regard to a dispatch sent from New York Saturday, which said that Roger Bres nahan, manager of the St. Louis club in the National League, was Interested In a world's tour planned for the New York club providing the "Giants" won the championship. Mr. Murphy said In part: "I am surprised to see Bresnahan's name connected with such an enter prise. It looked like a simple and harmless plan to pick up a little easy money, and so far as I know there had been no opposition to it. "But when they incorporate, becom ing a stock selling possibility and using the name of such men as Bresna ham, manager of a team, that can help us or hurt us a whole lot in the pres ent pennant race; the matter takes an entirely different aspect. "As a matter of fact, the Giants haven't won the race and I don't think they will win It, without the undue as sistance from other teams. "I want to see the Cardinals play the game against the Giants and play it right up to the hilt. I can hardly believe that Bresnahan would allow himself to be drawn into a financial scheme whose success might depend en tirely on his own team losing and a rival team winning. It is contrary to all traditions of baseball. "The race in the National League must be run out strictly on Its merits. Not even a suspicion can be permitted to creep into the situation right now." CHARGE READ WITH SURPRISE New Yorkers Point Out Jlow Cardi nals Have Been Winning. NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Roger Bres nahan, manager of the St. Louis Na tionals, had left the city at tbe time of the arrival of the Chicago dispatel in which Charles W. Murphy, president of the Chicago club, was quoted in criticism of Bresnahan's reported in terest in a world tour of the New York Giants and All-American League stars. Bresnahan's connection with the plan is said here to be only in a way of prospective manager of the AU-Ameri- can team. In baseball circles Murphy's declara tion that the New York team would not win the Natldnal League pennant "without undue assistance from other teams" was read with surprise. It was pointed out that Bresnahan's club had been playing the fastest kind of ball against New York, having won five out of the seven recent games between the two clubs. It Is understood here that the world tour, for which a managing company was Incorporated last week, will be satMMIW Wmmm mm -i -----Sr: '- ;i v. undertaken regardless of whether New York wins the league pennant.

ANGELS COME TO E Jolt Administered to Hogafs Tigers Puts Them Near Top of League. OAKS ARE ALSO !R RUNNING Beavers Lose 1 0 of 1 4 Games While Upon Tour Batting of Butdier and Fitzgerald Redeeming Feature of Fortnight. Los Angeles' breaking of the Vernon Jinx last week Is significant. Most Coast League fans have, long since conceded the pennant to Happy Ho gan's Tigers, but the odd-game Jolt handed out by the Seraphs the first In two years brings forcibly to mind the fact that the Angels -are only two and one-half games from the le&d and coming stronger than any club in the circuit. Today Los Angeles begins a week with the slipping Beavers In Portland. The game likely will be called at 3:30 P. M. Oakland goes to Vernon. Do you see the possibility of complications there? The Oaks have been a hard nut for Vernon all season, the victories stand ing 12 for Hogan and 10 for Sharp, and as Los Angeles has found Portland rather easy since that opening week, when the Angels brought McCredle tof eanu wim luur viuiuries in si&, iutt.y - hap Hogan's worries will be further increased by another Tuesday morn ing. Oaks Not Far Behind. On their only other vislthere this season in June, the Angels took four of the six contests. Oakland is only four games from the lead, too, so this week may see a closer bunching of the three leaders than ever. The race in the two sep arate divisions is surely exciting. It is certain, though, that the personnel of the first division will be Vernon, Los Angeles and Oakland. Portland. San Francisco and Sacra mento are hopelessly out of the real fuss, and local Interest centers only In the danger of the Beavers slipping further down to fifth place. Last week's results were hardly a Teal test of strength, for the locals are badly crippled with Krueger and Lindsay, the star swatsmen, on the cripple list. But the Seals won five games of the seven and results are what cottnL The Portland AA club returns home with the very sorry record of 10 losses In 14 engagements. But to return to the Los Angeles club: This fellow Joe Berger, ex- Western League shortstop, seems to have been the key to tne situation just as Chick Gandil was to the Wash ington Nationals. At the start of the season Dillon's crew looked Just fair, with Page on second and a recruit in Howard s place at short. Lineup la Formidable. Then Hen Berry hit the wires Snd drew down Berger as part payment from the Chicago Americans for "Flame" Delhi. Immediately the ex perts began to sit up and take notice. In the outfield Dillon had Heitmuller, a- terrific clean-up hitter; Daley, an all-around star when things are break ing right, and Lober, a youngster of promise. Howard, now captain, is a wonder on the bags; Metzger holds up his end; th catching staff was bolstered with Boles, and two or three pitchers were added to the string. Dillon then had a club as good as anything in tne league, and the placing of Charley Moore, returned from the Cubs, at first. should give increased efficiency, for the former Portland star is a streaa of lightning alongside of Dillon. "In my judgment Shortstop-Berger Is a better man than Peckinpaugh," Walt McCredle ventured to the writer a lori night ago. "He Is fully as sensational, has the same action and can hit the ball better than Peck. That is one '.tAnr. where the majors slipped up. Chicago retained Buck Weaver and let Berger go- when Berger nau mm faded." BergYr Snre to Jo Up. Berger has been tried out by three different major league clubs, but has yet to see a big league ball park. He is a quiet, unobtrusive fellow, and because of this the more demonstra tive, showy players weather the Spring eliminations, while he falls by the wuyside. It's a. moral cinch that he will return to the American League this Fall. The Sox very likely have a string on him, anyhow. - Elmer Koestper's balk, whereby Portland lost a game to San Feanclsco last week, has stirred considerable dis sension down south. Manager Mc Credle is quoted as saying that Umpire Hildebrand was wrong, that only the man on first base should have been allowed to advance a base. "Corhan should not have scored from third," said Walt. "In the American League there is an Iron-clad rule that no runner be allowed to score on a balk." Although we are ' not, perhaps, fa miliar with the Inside workings in the Ban Johnson circuit, that seems a very peculiar assertion to make. If a pitcher were allowed to balk with a runner on third, you would see dozens of the latter mowed down by false de liveries. Similar Instance Cited. The St. Louis Nationals lost a game to Philadelphia less than 10 days ago on a balk, Umpire Orth sending a man in from third when Pitcher Sallee stopped In the middle of his motion.. In that case, too, there were exten uating circumstances, for Manager Bresnahan was headed from the bench to make a protest on an Infleld-fly ruling. An amusing Incident cropped up in the San Francisco' grandstand the day after the hard-luck defeat. Oblivious to the fact that Koestner was seated directly behind him, Higginbotham, a teammate, took occasion to comment on the mixup to a friend in this man ner: "No smart pitcher would have cone a thing like that." Koestner said not a word, but If mo tion, pictures of his thoughts could have been obtained it's safe to say that no accompanying explanations would have been necessary. Elmer seems to be having a hard time of it away from home this sea son, although he has pitched Just about as consistently as some of his partners higher up in the win column. Fitzgerald Looka Good. The batting of Butcher and Fitz gerald has been the one redeeming feature of the fortnight away from home. The former seems to have finally come into his own and promises to creep up Into the .300 class during the three weeks' period impending. This series will likely see him back in the outfield. Fitzgerald's hitting has been so hard and timely that Mac can hardly ditch the youngster. He seems FOR WITH to have picked up a prize prospect In the college Doy. Shortstop Delmas, last season with the Angels, has been trying to get on with the Beavers, and McCredie pos sibly may tote him home with him today. Bert was traded to Oakland for Flater early in the Spring, but re fused to report, preferring to captain the Modesto club. Evidently he has tired of the "bush." Higginbotham likely will be chosen today to oppose Leverenz or Tozer. NATIONAL L.EAGUE. New York 6, St. Louis 8. NEW YORK. Aug. 12. The New York National League club raised its 1911 pennant at the polo grounds today, but It failed to bring any luck, as St. Louis won the game 8 to 6.

Portland Middleweight Scheduled for Important Ring Meeting at Oakland Tomorrow. I "Berg had no chance to beat Petros key unless by a knockout," according to F. M. Hanlin, manager of Otto Berg, the Portland middleweight boxer, yes terday on his return from Sacramento, the scene of the 20-round bout Friday night. "We were up against a ease of poor refereelng, augmented by intimidation. Berg was first robbed of the fight on a well-deserved foul and then on the rounds," continued Hanlin in angry vein. "The best that can be said of Billy Burke, the baseball trainer-umpire, is that he officiated to the best of his ability, but that ability was decidedly mediocre. Ce witnessed the fouling of Berg in the I4th round, then decided that Berg was able to continue, despite the appearance of the lad. Then, after telling me that he did not give petros key a chance until the eighth round. awarded the decision, to the sailor. "Petroskey's management started a campaign of intimidation several days before the fight. Bending anonymous letters to the promoters warning against Referee Burke, who- was said to be favorable to Berg. This, in ltseir. was likely to cause Burke to favor Petroskey at every stage of the fight. but when they imported Jack Welsh the well-known referee, to act as Pet roskey's second and slip In a remark or two to Burke, It looked like an im possibility for Berg to win. "Bersr was fouled in the 14th round after leading all the way to that point. On that there can be no argument, for Burke said be saw the blow to the groin, and every ringslder witnessed It. But. Burke, backed up by a physi cian who wanted to see more scrap ping, sent the men back to the center of the ring. Berg was weak for sev eral rounds, but managed to recover slightly towards the end and had the better of tbe last round. "An examination after the fight showed that Berg had been seriously hurt in the ring, but l couia not get a newspaperman in the city to putuisn statement of the fact, as they all declared that It would hurt the game. "As for Burke's ability, he gave the sixth round to Petroskey when the sailor was ordered to rest, and the sev enth to Berg, when Otto was 'laying off.' "As for the July bout between the two practically every writer about the bay conceded that Berg had a big shade. So confident were we that Berg would win the next time that Petroskey was permitted to enter the ring at 160 pounds, two pounds over the middle weight limit." Hanlin left Berg at Oakland and ex pects to match him soon with Weeks, the Canadian middleweight, who held Fritz Holland to a draw recently. Danny O'Brien, the Portland light weight, will fight the most Important battle of his ring career at uaxiana tomorrow night, meeting Frankle Burns over the 10-round route. O'Brien Is training at Oakland under the eye of Joe Sullivan, his manager. and Is so confident of the outcome that he Is already planning bouts with Wil lie Ritchie or One-Round Hogan. a Hanlin bas a three-man combination he believes will be an easy winner In California bouts. He picks Burns to beat O'Brien. Ritchie to beat Hogan, and Flynu to flatten Miller. It . t t Sailor Burgess, a California middle weight, writes from - Eugene saying that he is In perfect trim for his 10 round bout at Springfield August 23.
