Ten teams In their quest for the major league pen nants failed to make headway during the week of baseball that ended yes terday. The other six gained from sev en to 14 points, but among them were neither the New York Giants nor the Philadelphia Athletics, leaders respect ively in the National and American leagues. These two stood still, inas much as each won and lost three games while a majority of the other clubs did as poorly, some of them, even worse. In the National League the week's results continue to show that Manager McGraw, of New York, cannot yet be certain of driving his team through the 1913 series, for Philadelphia in seven days cut the Giants' 83-polnt lead down to 64 points, representing a difference of a game and a half. Philadelphia Regarded Safe. In the American circuit It would ap pear that Connie Mack, although his team lost 10 points in the percentage table, can begin forthwith to groom one of his veterans for the first of the post season games, for his club Is farther ahead of the field than It' was last Sunday. The Clevelands Just about eliminated themselves as flag contenders this year. In the week's contests with Philadel phia, Birmingham's players were out batted and outfielded. In both leagues no other team d'.d so well as the White Sox. Prior to their two victories over the Athletics, Chi cago took three out of four from Wash ington. The week saw Callahan's men fight their way to within a few game of third place. Chicago Forging Ahead.. In the Lynch circuit, Saturday night found Chicago in third place instead of Pittsburg, with St. Louis holding Cincinnati's former cellar position, Brooklyn barely above sixth place, and Philadelphia slowly forging ahead. The Phillies, in fact, got within seven games of the Giants, while the latter struck a slump due in part to Injuries of players. To the Giants the Pittsburg series was essential. Two New York pitchers had . winning streaks broken. Marquard, after taking nine straight, fell before Adams. Mathewson like wise was humbled, losing to McQuillan. Pittsburg on Monday allowed Demares to run his string up to eight, but on Friday McGraw's new star lost to Cin cinnati. The effacement of these near records of the season leaves Walter Johnson sole possessor of a string worthy of comment. He has taken It straight and is -tied with . his team- j mate, Boehling, who fell last week. Several sudden sensational trades, the passing of a few stars from big league company and reports that three managers were to be deposed, combined to make the week notable. Of the trades the most startling was that involving the unusual price paid by the New York Yankees for Maisdel, the star Infielder of Balti more. Chance gave Daniels, outfielder, and Midklff, third baseman, and S12.000 cash, making the sale rank with the O'Toole, Marquard and Chappello pur chases. Next in importance among the trades were the exchange of places of Otis Crandall and Larry McLean and of Ed Heulbach and Ed Stack. 5L4RK O'DOXXELL NOT TO FIGHT Madden Probably Will Meet Root for Roundup Attraction. Because of announcement from the south that Mark O'Donnell will not be able to accept the offer of a bout with Larry Madden, the Portland heavy weight, at the Pendleton Roundup, Jack Root, the boxer-wrestler, will be put forward as a suitable match for Madden. Tommy Tracy has undertaken the management of Root, and will get the big bo- in shape for the battle. He is weighing 208 pounds, and will fight nearly at that weight. He has been In the south and in Seattle, and has kept himself well In form by workouts with men usually lighter than himself. It Is now about six months since Root went in for boxing, but in that time he has shown wonderful aptitude and has developed a swinging punch which he knows how to land. Jack King. Madden's manager, de clared some time ago that Root would be an acceptable opponent for the Portland policeman, so if the two managers and Dudley Evans, manager of the Pendleton Athletlo Club, can agree on terms, the bout may be said to be on. Dudley Evans yesterday received word from Ed Hagen. the Seattle heavyweight who recently tried to get a match with the late Luther McCarthy. He is also anxious to run against Mad den, so. In any event, the Roundup fans will see a battle between good boys. Amateur Athletics PLAYING superb ball, the O.-W. R. & N. nine defeated the Sellwood Park team Saturday on the latter's diamond. 9 to 6. Hyland, Ryson and Chamber lain formed the battery for the win ners, with Nichols and Proppe for the losers.

BEACH RACES GOOD C. L. Welch, Seaside Man. Wins Motorcycle Event. HOLIDAY CROWD PRESENT Black McKiiiney and Crocket Each Take Heat In Pace, and Billy and Betty Divide Free-for-AI1 Pony Beats Machine. SEASIDE, Or.. Aug. 10. (Special.) Before two record-breaking crowds, two of the three days of motor and motorcycle races were held here Sat urday and today. The Summer resi dents of the cottages, together with the week-end visitors from Portland and Astoria, Interior and river towns, lined the beach, from a point under Tillamook Head, where the races start ed, to the finish in front of the Hotel Moore. It was a typical Sunday outing crowd, good nature prevailing through out the time of the races. On account of the tides, because the races were held on the beach, the races Saturday were finished before the aft ernoon trains arrived. This, in a meas ure, was due to the trains being late. The first event was a mile motorcycle race. In which C. L. Welch, a resident of Seaside before he became a profes sional motorcycle racer, had no trouble in disposing of the Denver terrier on a Flying Merkle, No. 82. Welch had some engine trouble in the second event and the race was won by the Flying Merkle. Young Welch gave the crowd a great thrill when he rode an exhibi tion mile, averaging 70 miles an hour. Cheese Stake Unfinished. The first heat of the Clatsop County Co-Operative Cheese stake for pacers was won Saturday by Crocket. The two sldewheelers were sent away to a pretty start by Starter Dr. Frank Van Bursa The finish was a tight fit. with Crocket winning by half a length. xne second neat or tne pace was won by Black McKlnney in style. After the start. Crocket, who had been picked to wind, picked up a clam shell and it cut her right fetlock so that she broke. Before her driver could get the horse back to his stride. Black McKinney had taken a commanding lead. The final heat Monday promises to be a contest from start to finish. Yellow Hornet, after winning on the first day from Red Cloud, came back today and won the freak race between a pony and motorcycle. The race was a quarter mile dash to a standing start. The "Pasadena Kid" rode the motor cycle, a Dayton No. 13. The start gave yellow Hornet the edge. The boy took the pony to the front and kept him there, winning by two open lengths. Women Refuse Mount. At the last minute, two women, who were to ride Baldy Walker and Lady Rutledge, declined, and two boys, dressed in ladies' riding habits and veils, rode. Lady Rutledge left her dainty, habits in the stable, ran close to the water's edge and won as she pleased. Last time out Baldy Walker won the race over the same route four and a half furlongs. Billy, an outsider from Columbia Beach, a likely-looking bright bay, who dropped out of the clouds and won the free-for-all a, couple of weeks ago, turned the same trick today. Because of the appearance of Billy and Betty, another Columbia Beach horse, local owners withdrew their entries, and the two outsiders had the race to them selves. The race was at of a mile, and Billy was extended to the limit to beat the mare by a scant nose. At the conclusion of the racing pro gramme the tide was ripe for bathing and fully 2000 bathers made a rush for bathing suits. While the bathing was going on, the Seaside cornet band ren dered its regular Sunday afternoon concert on the pier. Small Boy Kills Three Bears. FOREST GROVE, Or., Aug. 10. (Spe cial.)

FINISH WILLJE CLOSE TRI-STATE TEAMS FIGHT FOR FISTAXi HOXORS. Commercial CluT of Boise Puts Up Cash to Keep National Game on Its Feet and- Going. BOISE, Idaho, Aug 10. If the Buck aroos, of Pendleton, and the Braves, of North Yakima, continue to put up the fight they have been since the second half of the Western Tri-State League schedule opened, they will push the Bears, of Waya Walla, and the Irri gators, of Boise, hard in the final spurt for the honor of contesting in the post season games with Walla Walla to de cide the pennant winner. Under the leadership of Al Lodell, first baseman for the Bucks, the Pendletonians are crawling towards the top of the flag staff. Lodell has given the club a new lease on life and added a fighting spirit that so far has produced good baseball, including fast fielding and heavy stick work. Blaine Gordon, of the North Yakima Braves, has done the same thing with the Yaks. It begins to look like a close finish race for the sec ond half of the season. There was some uneasiness on the part of the league directors over the Walla Walla situation, until the Com mercial Club there decided to come to the team's assistance. The club was was . about $2000 in debt for improve ments at the ball park. Manager Bade has taken steps to trim the club down and this week or dered the release of George "Mickey" Shader, a pitcher, who had been car ried since the season opened. The offer of J400 made by Dugdale. of Seattle, for "Marty" Martini, left fielder for the Bears, was spurned by Manager Bade, who declared he -did not propose to make a present of Martini. Bade wants something like $1000 for his left fielder. "Smoky" Joe Woods, purchased from Baker by Boise, was on the verge of release a lew days ago and the danger put Borne starch in the spine of the big pitcher, for he climbed the mound in the next game and sizzled over a no-hit article to Pendleton, the first no-hit game of the season. Woods made himself strong with the home management. The Irrigators cleaned the Braves, of North Yakima, 4 to 2, last week, while the Bucks did the same thing to Walla Walla. Rules for Lawyers Issued. SALEM, Or., Aug. 10. (Special.) As a substitute for the regular bar dock et, Circuit Judge Kelly has issued a pamphlet containing 16 rules for the guidance of lawyers.

BLIND AUCTION IS FEATURE Packages Contributed by Unions From AH Parts of Country Are Sold to Highest Bidder Be fore Contents Are Known. The annual picnic of the Photoen gravers held at Canemah Park yester1 day was one of the largest outings of the season. A special electrio train of six cars had been chartered for the oc casion, and each car was crowded. Immediately upon entering thp park the American flag was raised by little Neola Otto, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Otto. The address of welcome was made by Louis F. Otto. Following this Commissioner Daly made some In teresting remarks, and W. H. Chatten also made a short speech. The sports programme opened with a wrestling match between Carl Free linger and Leonard Lasley, Freelinger winning the first fall in 15 minutes and 18 seconds. The ball game between the Commercial shops and newspaper pho toengravers was won by the Commer cials by a score of 9 to 2. In the races of the afternoon the fol lowing were the first prizewinners: R.

McFadden in fat man's race. The bean-guessing contest was won by Mrs. Hansen and Mr. Olney. Dancing followed the races. One of the most interesting features of the day was an auction at which concealed packages, donated by various photo engravers' unions throughout the United States, were auctioned off by Louis F. Otto. These parcels were auc tioned as received from the unions and not even the auctioneer knew what he was selling to the highest bidders, and the bidding of the engravers for dona tions from their "home towns" was was almost 8 o'clock when the en gravers returned home after an enjoy able day.

VISITORS NUMBER 35,000 More Than 1200 Plunge In River and Thousands Patronize Vaude vile Attractions Animal Cir cus Big Feature of Bill. "The world and his wife" speaking from a Portland standpoint and a considerable number of other relatives were present at the Oaks Amusement Park yesterday seeking recreation amusement and relief from the heat. As the afternoon crowd alone was well over 23,000, Manager Cordray thought a conservative estimate of the total crowd before closing time was 35,000. Water was a magnet to hundreds. So much so, in fact, that bathing suits and there were 1200 of them ran out early. Late comers gladly accepted wet bathing suits. Copying after a New Tork custom, a number of young women bringing their own bathing suits, wore a rose or other flower pinned to the cap. By far the large majority of women discarded stockings ana a large per centage found more fun in the water by discarding the skirts of their cos tumes and appearing practically In men's suits. The innovation made the bathing pavilion the Mecca of spec tators. IMver Smokes Tinder Water. Jack Bishop, who dived from Broad way Bridge, gave exhibitions and will be at the Oaks during the week. Bishop's most unique feat consisted in smoking under water. Bishop took a lighted cigar below the surface with him. Smoke was seen to come to the surface for a minute or two, then Bish op returned with the lighted cigar. But he won't tell how he does the trick. Miss Viola, with her animal circus of some 60 birds and beasts, was the center of vaudeville attraction. Her roster of performers reads like the catalogue of a zoo. There were pigeons, doves, parrots, parakeets, cockatoos, gorgeous Kosellas from Australia, dogs, cats, monkeys and other biped and quadruped "actors." One cockatoo went into the mind- reading" business by cleverly picking out numbers. Two parakeets rode bi cycles on a tight wire, keeping their own balance; a trained monkey wrote, eat, drank and retired to bed, while cats, dogs and birds played and "acted together In furry-feathered harmony. Xewaboya Sonera Win. Rogers and Evans were clever per formers In blackface, while a newsboys' quartet made a hit. The Gaumont Weekly In moving pic tures was an addition to the evenins bill. Slgnor Blancone's clarionet solo re ceived an encore. Signor De Caprio's own composition, "La Bella Venegela," was also well received. An unique of fering was a selection from "Carmen in a new arrangement by -Director TI- gano, in which Slgnort Legr, De Caprio, Viola and Avanzo participated. The sextette from "Lucia" was rendered by Signorl De Caprio, Viola, Biancone, Lehr, Salvatore and Thomas. Every number given by Ruzzi's Royal Italian Band was encored.

(Spe cial.) According to a letter received here by R, Hazer, State Game War den Flnley is endeavoring to have the Federal game law as it affects Oregon changed. The new Federal game law fixes the date for luck and geese shooting in Oregon from September 16 to December 16, and Mr. Finley wants the dates from October 1 to Jan uary 16 to conform with the open sea sons in California and Washington. Sporting Sparks HERE'S an Interesting one in con nection with George Van Haltren, who passed a day or two with us re cently: George holds the record for the most men walked in any one game, having walked 16 batters in 1887 while with the Chicago team. The question was brought up in connection with the record claimed for Carroll Brown, the Mack man, who recently allowed 15 to meander down the first-base line. Van Haltren is declared to have become so wild that the batters were afraid to approach the plate. Of seven games played in the big leagues on one day of last week, 7S men were left on bases, a rather unusual number. The recent injury to Rude Benton caused by a collision with a streetcar while riding a motorcycle, may cause a new clause in the players' contracts, forbidding the use of self-propelled ve hicles during the playing season, as this is not the first time that players have been out of the game because of auto accidents. An entirely new occupation for Boy Scouts has been found by the Chevy Chase Golf Club of Washington, D. C. This club has hired the whole organ! zation to act as scouts for the little balls and to carry along the implements of war.
