Catcher Burch was on the mound and Utility Inflelder Esola behind the bat. Bobby Coltrin was at flrst with a catcher's mitt. Ma honey at short and Doty In center field. In the sixth a change of backstops and first basemen was made, owing: to Esola's inability to stop Burch's fast ones and the fact that Coltrin weak ened and could no longer manipulate the pillow he flaunted so gaily at the start. Naturally the Bees won the same, as they opposed to this assort ment of mistits the regular line-up. Yobe Flays for Time. Evan Yohe, who had been laid up with a "Charley horse." was back in the fray for a while. But they didn't have the snap they were looking: for. Burch surprised his mates and foes alike by pitching: pretty fair ball, being tilt hard In only one inning:, the fifth. rrors accounted for Victoria's runs in the- fourth. Pitcher Slim Smith got a raw deal Sfrom Van Haltren In the fourth, ac cording to the few present, who were angered at the umpire for refusing to see alleged strikes. Van Haltren's work, aided and abet ted by lax fielding and one hit, gave Portland four counts In this frame. They got two more In the sixth on three blows, the last one a long two bagger by Harris.

DEMAREE PRAISED BY M'GRAW Southern League Star's Work in Beating Boston Pleases. NEW YORK, Sept. 27. Manager Mc Graw, of the New York Nationals, to day began grooming his men for the world's series with the Boston Ameri cans. With the pennant race won the recruits will bear the brunt of the re maining games while the veteran players rest in relays, playing Just enough to keep in good condition. It is seldom McHrair discusses the initial work of his young players, but lie said today the debut of Al Demaree, the Southern League star, on the mound against Boston yesterday was the finest work he had seen done by a newcomer In 20 years of baseball. It was Demaree's first appearance for the locals and. although the . game was crucial to the extent that winning it meant cinching the pennant, the youngster had almost perfect control. He struck out nine men, allowed seven lilts, two of which were scratches, gave only one base on balls and scored a shutout. Speculation as to how Demaree would figure in the world's series, how ever, is useless, as he only reached liere on September 4, a week too late to be eligible. Tesreau is being groomed particu larly for "spitball" pitching atralnst Boston and Mathewson and Marquard each probably will have a chance to atart one of the big games. McCarthy to Meet Kaufman. PITTSBURG. Sept. 27. Articles were signed today for an open-air fight be tween Luther McCarthy and Al Kauf man at San Francisco. October 12.

EX-LEAGUER WARMS UP Southpaw, Wlio Formerly Pitched for Minneapolis in Old Western League, Watches Seals and Beavers Play. While George Damerel, ex-pitcher, now a theatrical star, picks the Bos ton Red Sox to defeat New York in the coming world's series, the actor star still believes that the Chicago Nationals have the greatest assortment of ballplayers In the country. "Chance's pitching staff went bad this year, but to my mind he has the most wonderful machine in existence," declared Southpaw Damerel yesterday at the ball park, as he warmed up the old salary arm with the foeals and Beavers after 12 or U years of idle ness. 'Arm feels strong as steel," added Damerel, as he whipped one down the trroove at Dave Gregg. I ve done a lot of fishing this year -and casting has put my wing in good trim." Damerel Is Scout. Actor Damerel pitched for Minneap olis in the old Western League back in the late '90s when he was 20 years old, and he and Bill Reldy. manager of the Seals, held a family reunion yesterday. The latter was the star twirler at MlJwauKee lor six years under Connie Mack. Damerel now makes his home in Chicago and New York, but manages to keep close tab on baseball all over the United States, in fact, does a scouting Job for one of the major clubs. "You hear a lot about this Joe wooa. of Boston," said he. "Wood undoubt edly Is a remarkable pitcner, out give e Walter Johnson, or wasningion. Wood broke in from Kansas City against Cleveland in 1908 and when the wrecking crew got reaay to cart away the wreckage poor Joe was bad ly rent. Nobody ever aia anyimns like that to Johnson. - "Wood, though, will make New lora go in the coming series. I figure that next to Wood and Collins', O'Brien, the big spitballer, will be Stahl's choice. He is comparatively new to the majors, but a veteran pitcher." Daffy Is Out at Milwaukee. The thespian brings word of two shifts of importance in American As sociation managers. Hugh Duffy has been, let go at Milwaukee, where a policy of penuriousness has been insti tuted, while Mike Kelley, manager of the St. Paul club, has resignea ana will likely take over Indianapolis. "How does it feel to be an actor?" "Oh, I've been at it so long now I don't remember the inaugural emo tions," replied Damerel. "Every now and then, however, one runs across some new wrinkle that makes one feel like the old days with the crowd shout ing Take him out." "Take our opening mgnt nere, lor Instance," added Mr, Damerel. "I no ticed that almost a score of men folk zot ud in the middle of the second act and headed for the door. I couldn't understand it and I worried over tae matter until after the show, when 1 learned they were hurrying for a late special bound for the Pendleton Round-l-'P- . .... "Then I felt complimented mat xney should come to the show at all, when they knew they would have to leave early." Veaa Greet; Praised.

"Your brother Vean is certainly a corker," he added, on the side, to Dave Gregg. Despite the rather poor exhibition yesterday, Mr. Damerel predicts that the Beavers will have an easy time with Nick Williams' Colts Monday.

BALL INTEREST IS HERE RESrir OF SERIES WITH OAK IANT MAY HAVE IXFLUEX'CE. Beavers' Luck With Sharpe's Men ITn promising Heretofore, Losing H Out of 18 Games Played. While the coming week's Pacific- Coast League schedule finds Los Angeles at San Francisco and Sacramento at Vernon, the greatest interest will focus In the Oakland-Portland series on the local lot, for the Commuters are leading the league by a goodly margin and it will take a good trimming by the Beavers to put Vernon and the Angels back in the running. Oakland has walloped Portland un mercifully in the three series down south, staring the year with five straight and taking seven of eight on the last jaunt, but in Portland the go ing has not been so macadamized. On the initial trip north in April Sharpe's men took three in five games, but in June Portland applied the reverse lever and beat the visitors four games in six. Seven games are on the schedule the coming week and McCredle is deter mined to chop off the marginal end, al though his sympathies are with the Oaks in the pennant race. Abies. Christian, Malarkey and KilH lay will be called upon by Sharpe to bear the brunt of the work against Portland because these four have had the edge on us all season. Southpaw Abies has won four games in five starts; Christian four In 'six; Malarkey three In four and Killilay his only two games. Klawitter is the sole Beaver to be re turned with an even break, having won two and lost two. Koestner has been walloped six in eight games; Harkness four in six starts, and Higginbotham three In five. Illinois Freshmen Practice. URBANA, 111.. Sept. 27.

San Fran cisco finally walloped Portland scrambled the Beavers, too, with their star moundman, Klawitter, in the box and. while the beating was confined to just one Inning, enough walks, hits and misplays were mixed In to induce several of the boys to emulate Gen eral Nogl and "do the Japanese." The score was 4 to. 2. and broke up Klawit ter's run of eight straight victories. With the count 2 to 0 in his favor in the sixth inning, Klawitter walked the first two" men, and so interested did Howard Baker become in the heated repartee between Klawitter and Um pire Casey that he forgot to come in en Howard's bunt, filling the bases. Zimmerman then punched a grounder that skidded through Shortstop Ban croft and on through Centerfielder Doane. and before the ball could be relayed in, three men call them "Faith. Hope and Charity." for iden tification sake had crossed the plate. Bump Alda Baaerunners. Here's where some of the "harl kiri" Inserted itself. After Fitzgerald had doubled Zimmerman at home on a re markable peg on Corhan's fly, Wag ner drove a liner to deep right center. Doane and Fitzgerald both went after the drive, and such a bump! By the time the ambulance corps had removed Fitzgerald to the locker-room, Wag ner was safely camped at third base. He scored on a wild pitch. That ter rific collision in the outfield made it a total of four runs for the inning. Four proved sufficient. Bill Rapps also was among the in jured. Bill suffered a sprained left ankle trying to corner a high throw, and the physician who responded to Umpire McCarthy's appeal, "Are they a doctor In the audience?" announced, after consultation, that Bill would be out of the game for ten days. Butcher went to first and Krueger to right field. Klatwltter allowed only seven hits in the nine frames, against eight off Fanning, but his old San Francisco Nemesis proved too much. The San Francisco and Vernon Nemesis plays the same part to Klawitter as the banana peel, only the highbrows 4ub it Nemesis. Although possessed of a' rec ord of 21 victories and 11 defeats, the Seals have beaten him four times in seven starts and Vernon on four oc casions out of six. Two Tallies Scored. Portland scored one run In the first Inning and the other in the third. In the opening Inning Chadbourne walked, stole second, hiked to third on a wild pitch and scored on Rodgers' sacrifice fly. In the third Inning Rodgers singled to right, and on a hit-and-run signal by Fitzgerald, aston ished the spectators by legging it. all the way home on Fitzgerald's single through shortstop. There were few other features ex cept that several thousand femininely curious turned out to see that famous southpaw heart-breaker, George Dam erel, warm up in a Beaver road uni form. The actor star used to pitch against Bill Reldy in the old West ern Association, but the two veterans made up long enough yesterday to have their pictures taken In soulful pose. Del Howard proved to the satisfac tion of everybody in the eighth inning that even the wisest old owls can get careless. Del should have added an other tally to the Seal total, but he Jogged home so slowly after Wagner's near-sacrifice fly that Zimmerman was flagged at third before he crossed the rubber. Of course the run didn't count, although the official scorer thought it did for a minute and clanged thegong.

Two games were to have been played, but the contest lasted a trifle more than four hours and could not have proceeded further on account of the gathering darkness.

Williams was forced at third on Moeller's grounder. Foster forced Moeller at second, Barry to Collins. In trying for a double play, Collins threw wild and Johnson scored the winning run. Groom pitched the first nine innings for Washington. Twice, with the bases, filled, scoring was prevented by double plays and in the seventh, with the bases filled and one out, the home team scored on an out. Four hits and an error in the ninth enabled Philadelphia to tie the score. Johnson, who took Groom's place in the tenth inning, was hit harder than Plank, but brilliant fielding by Foster and McBride prevented scoring. Misplays Cause Loss. Plank, a veteran of 12 seasons, out pitched both of his younger opponents, the majority of Washington's runs being due to battery and fielding mis plays. Score: R. H. E. R. H. E.
