VANGOUVER TOUTED AS
COAST LEAGUE TOWN
Gossips Would Replace Sacs
- With B. C. Ball Team.
CAPITAL PATRONAGE POOR
Hot Weather at Salt Lake Wears on
McCredie's Crew, "Who Long
for Cooler Spot.
There has been no little talk heard
lately around the Pacific Coast league
about switching the Sacramento fran
chise to Vancouver, B. C, next spring-.
Such a move might be a wise one on the
part of the directors. At the present
time, or rather up to this week, when
the Senators started their winning
streak, there was much dissension in
the baseball ranks of Sacramento.
Sacramento has never been a Coast
league city. It has been tried out time
after time and always fell by the way
side when the test came. It is the same
old story Sacramento can stand Coast
league ball for one or two seasons and
then It Is .ready to lay off for three or
four years. The fans simply won't
turn out. Up until this week things
were worse, due to the fact that Bill
Rodgers club was putting up anything
but a good race for the gonfalon.
Vancouver, prior to the start of the
world war, was a paying city in the
old Northwestern league and In the
opinion of many close observers, due to
its proximity to Seattle, would make
an excellent class A A baseball town.
Seattle has made good. Why not three
northern clubs?
Sacramento got back into the circuit
last year when Portland was voted out.
The only reason the headquarters of
the California solons was taken in then
was the fact that it was the only avail
able town to complete the loop of six
cities.
Judge William W. McCredie, presi
dent of the Portland Baseball company,
has received a letter from Manager
Walter written from Salt Lake. Among
other things Walter says it is so hot
there that all the boys will be ex
tremely happy when they get away
from Mormontown. They left there
last night for San Francisco.
The latest player to be signed by J.
Cal Ewing. who is due back in Oakland
from his eastern trip today, is Infielder
Richburg, a Georgia university player,
whom John McGraw of the New York
Giants only consented to release be
cause his team was over the limit.
Sammy Bohne probably will be shifted
to second base when Grover arrives.
In view of their disastrous week at
Sacramento it would appear as though
the Oaks, like the Beavers, need
strengthening.
Seattle has released First Baseman
Gus Gleichmann to tit. Jot-eph of the
Western league. Harry Harper, out
fielder, also has been '"canned," and
Bobby Smale signed. Jack Rgche, ex
Beaver and Oak. has been signed to
play first base for Bill Cljmcr.
Wayne Barham. Dallas, Or., boy for
n.erly with, San Francisco, has strength
ened the pitching staff of the Tulsa,
Okla., Oilers of the Western league.
Des Moines has turned Pitcher Har
old Dimocl: bad to San Francisco as a
failure. He went a long way to prove
that he could not hold up his end In
Ihe Western league. Herman Pillett,
St. Paul, Or., boy with the same club,
is troubled with a bad knee. Jack
Coffey, former Seal shortstop who Is
handling Des Moines, is crying for
pitchers.
Sam Brennegan. former Beaver back
stop, shifted, to Terre Haute by St. Jo
seph, did not liVo the outlook in the
Three-I league and announced that-,he
would gv to Minnesota and play with
the copper -mines clubs or on the iron
range, whichever it is.
"'Probaby by the time the 1920 cam
paign rolls around Pittsburg and St.
Louis will have new managers." says
Krnest J. Lanigan, eastern baseball
writer. "The tales regarding Bezdtk
of the Pirates and Rickey of the Car
dinals are that one of them is going to
devote all his attention to college ath
letics, the other to the presidential of
fice. "Sir Hugo, we are told by some. Is a
joke manager because he plays his, in
field in a certain way on certain playj5.
but the Pirates continue to win under
him and they are doing better than
many people expected.
"Branch Rickey, we are told by
many, is a joke manager because he is
too much of a theorist and because he
isn't human like Hugo the Hefty.
"1 doubt if any one could get better
results from the Pirates than Bezdek
mid any one better results from the
Cards than Rickey."
Just prior to the time that Carl Mays
Jumped the Boston Red Sox he was
fined J100 for throwing the ball at the
head of a spectator who had been tor
menting him. As Carlos was a trifle
wild that day and didn't hit the mark
he refused to pay the fine.
W. Henry Berry, former owner of the
Los Angeles and San Francisco clubs,
is in deep as an oil magnate now
around Maricopa, Cal., and says it beats
baseball.
'
Salt Lake has a new southpaw named
Hall on its staff.- Reports say that
he is a fairly good fork-hander.
Veterans continue to reign supreme
in the coast league. hat better
pitchers are in this compact circuit
than Curly Brown. Wheezer Dell, Tom
tfeaton. Art Fromme and Doc Crandall?
Salt Lake fans did not take to Marty
Krug in the beginning but now nothing
but praise is heard ot his work.
Lefts and Rights.
HTANLET YOAKUM will start his
J comeback campaign on July 23
when he will make his first appear
ance in the ring in six months against
Kid .lex of Colorado Springs, in a ten
round decision contest. If he is sue
cessful Stanley will go east in search
of bouts.
...
The Knights of Columbus, which has
been giving boxing shows for wounded
soldiers in and about New York, has
obtained Jack Dempsey's word that he
will appear at a monster boxing car
nival to be .held there some time in
August at Madison Square garden for
the soldiers.
...
Chet Neff is boxinrr in Arizona, where,
it is said, the game lias been flourish
ing ever since the legalizing of ten
round fights. The biggest shows are
held in Miami.
Jess Willard was badly battered by
Jack Dempwy's pledge-hammer blows
in the championship fuss at Toledo,
but he was paid for it at a rate ex
ceeding the income of any other man.
Jess was in the ring taking Jacks
blows exactly nine minutes and re
ceived for it 311,111.11 a minute, in ad
dition to many thousand:: he will be
paid as his one-third share of the moving-picture
proceeds, Pempsey re-
cetved 13055. 5 a minute. He also re
ceives a third of the moving-picture
profits.
Perry Lewis, the welterweight, who,
on July 4, -won from Frankle Jones
at Reno on a foul in the tenth round,
is now in San Francisco, -where he is
trying to land a match with Battling
Ortega or Johnny McCarthy.
The Australians are getting ready to
send a team of boxers to the Olympic
games in 1920. They are holding
tourneys in order to get the best men
available. "Snowy" Baker is also
working hard to get a team of ama
teur boxers together to send to Cali
fornia to take part in a tourney, with
the idea of having California send a
team in turn to Australia to give f..e
amateur came a boost.
Jack Thompson, the San Francisco
heavyweight, is now in the east, where
he will take part in a tournament for
colored joxers in Tulsa. Okla. All the
leading colored heavyweights, with the
exception of Jack Johnson, will par
ticipate. GIANTS HOLD TOP PLAGE
REDS FORCED TO YIELD LEAD
TO JOHX McGRAW'S TRIBE.
Lowly Boston Red Sox Slip Into
Seventh Place; 3Iembers Deny
Friction In Team.
NEW YORK, July 20. Two changes
in the standings of the clubs of the Na
tional and American leagues took place
during, the past week. In the senior
circuit Cincinnati lost the lead on Mon
day, New York forging to first place
and holding it. In the younger organ
ization, the demoralized world cham
pion Boston Red Sox dropped six games
of seven played and temporarily fell
back to seventh place, giving way to
Washington. Today's results, however,
restored the Red Sox to sixth position.
in the National league, the tail end
Philadelphia club furnished a surprise
by going through the week without a
defeat, and this performance encour
aged the Quaker City fans, who are
hopeful that "Gawy" Cravath, the new
manager, will succeed where - Jack
Coombs failed. -y.
The week's sensation In the Ameri
can league was the retirement yester
day of Lee Fohl as Cleveland a man
ager. Tris Speaker will try to bring
the 1919 pennant to Cleveland.
The Indians tied with the Chicago
leaders in scoring five victories and
two defeats, not including today's con
tests. The Boston Americans' poor record
this year has been attributed in some
quarters to dissatisfaction on the part
of the players toward Manager Barrow.
In a statement issued by the team Fri
day the Red Sox denied this was the
situation, declaring their less than me
diocre showing was due to a "combina
tion of bad breaks."
Of the week's extra .innings games
two were notable because- played
Thursday. One between New York and
St. Louis, went 17 innings before Gallia
received credit for a decision over Thor-
mahlen, 7 to 6. The other game was a
12-inning tilt between Jacobs of St.
Louis and Meadows of Philadelphia.
Meadows held trie Cardinals to four hits
and won, 1 to 0.

ERNIE FRYE HIT FREELY
GRANTS PASS HEAVY HURLER
VICTIM OF BATTERY A.
Eleven Bingles la Six Innings Rec
ord Set by Asplran for Hon
ors Witb Beavers.
Sergeant Ernie Fry e. Grants Pass
208-pounder, who haa been elgned by
the Portland Paclflo Coast league club,
was hit for 11 blnglea in alx innings by
the G. M. Standlfer Shipbuilding cor
poration team yesterday afternoon on
the Vaughn-street grounds. Standlfer
beat Battery A. 21 to 2. making 17 hits
off the combined offerings of Frye and
Errol Wintherbotham.
Battery A made six hits and two
errors. The winner committed but
one boot. Jocko Krause and Bob
Marshall formed the triumphant bat
tery, while Joe Barr did the receiving
for the heavy gunners. Keys injured
hla right toe a couple of days ago and
as he is one of those rangers who find
it necessary to raise up on that ex
tremity in order to produce a fast ball
he waa out of luck. It is usually the
case that a chucker haa a sore arm.
Twill be hard in Frye- case if both
his toe and arm go on the bum at the
same time.
At that, Frye showed the boys a fast
ball and a good assortment of curves,
although veterans like Charley Moore
and Marshall bad no difficulty in find
ing Hub Pernoll'a protege. Frye atands
about feet 2 Inches tall and may get
a chance to work for the Beavers when
bis toe gets better.
Errol Wintherbotham. who finished
for the losers, is just back from Vul
can. Canada, where for the past few
weeka he has been pitching for the
Vulcan team, of whlqh. Emery Webb,
local pitcher, is the manager.

Hugo Besdek Reported Convert to
Formerly Berated Proposal for
- Reform in System.
BT J. NEWTOS COLVER.
NEW YORK, July 10. (Special.)
Saw a newspaper story the other day
that told ot Harvard and Tale agree
ing to Institute an lntra-mural or mass
system of athletics at their respective
universities that, while they would net
be followed to the excluaton ot the old
standard of highly trained representa
tive teams of experts In the various
branches of sport, would be calculated
to produce a higher physical specimen
of graduate than the old system, which
produced mainly about 100 star ath
letes and 4909 rooters.
And I read in the New York. Sun
where MVw. Frank A. Vanderllp has In
terested herself in a nation-wide com
munity play-game campaign that will
make old tolka young and make young
folks physically superior.
And then Hugo Bezdek. manager of
the Pittsburg Pirates and former ath
letlo director andVfootball coach at the
University of Oregon, has been bub
bling over with enthusiasm for his
great play-field and enormous "super
gymnasium" and swimming tank at
Penn State. To hear Hugo talk, you'd
think running a club in the National
league'a baseball pennant race waa
only a aide issue: the dream of his
life seems to be to establish a new
system of athletic training for col
leges. Ana him a teacher of highly spe
cialised athletics professional baseball
of major league brand, and college
football of the hirhest university ivu
for more than a decade.

series bui how many John W. Dough
boys there were all over the A. E. y.
who were worrying over their batting

W hen Hugo Besdek. former Univer

vert to the old athletic reform buga
boo we sporting editors used to laugh
about a decade ago. and when the
writer, for 11 years a western sDortlnc
editor, has such remarkable and unique
demonstrations of what can be done In
the mass athletic line as the army gave
In France this last spring and late win

"Don't know If I can get back to
Oregon in the fall of '20 or not. I've
signed for this next year at Penn state
and the prospects there are so fasclnat
tng that, while I much prefer the coast
as the real and only place for a white
man to live, I think I m likely to stay
on and see through what I believe to
be the biggest opportunity that has
yet been given a college coach of ath
letics.

"Got the hunch when Penn State
threw open her gates to the S. A. T. C.
and I had before me the Job of 'feed
ing' athletics to a horde of young men
that were potential defenders of Uncle
Sam's honor and prestige. The trustees
gave us what they called the old 'west
farms.' Added about ISO acres to our
already commodious area of 40 acres
for our athletic fields. So now we've
mapped out six football fields, six base
ball diamonds, three lacrosse fields,
three soccer fields. EO tennis courts. 20
bsskctball courts, a nine-hole golf
links and a half-mile running track.
"I bought J100 worth of grass seed
the other day.
"We're going to keep our S. A. T. C
and continue military training, and the
soundest fundamental argument for
the establishment of all these big
athletic fields Is that now we can pro
vide a playing space for all the young
men the government wants to send us
to make themselves 'fit to fight' in
the most practical" and winning way.

"And. say boy, you ought to see the

to forget the old Idea of a gymnasium
full of parallel bars and Swedish lad

Just as the old standard form of
'physical culture' known aa 'calis

going to make physical training not
'culture' popular and put everybody
Into it not by compulsion, but because
its the most natural thing to de.
"I believe that It Penn State stands
alone in this enterprise that in from
three to five yeara she will astonish
American colleges by the number of
men she can qualify for her college
teams. By virtue of the competition
ot two score of football teams, for ex

will be such that we can confidently
expect that selecting the first repre

PRESENT WORLD
NOT PERMANENT, SAYS BIBLE
Evangelist Dickson Points Out Effort Toward League of
Nations in Scriptural Prophecy as Sign of
Last Days and Shows Armageddon
to Be Still in the Future.
Declaring that the world w-111 never
reach lasting peace, save through the
Prince of Pence, and that there is no as
surance in divine revelation or In hu
man annals that man, alone a.nd un
aided, will ever solve the stupendous
problem of savlnir humanity from the
violence of its own passions. Evangelist
L. K. Dickson spoke last night to a
large and attentive audience in the
large tent pavilion which has been
erected on the corner of Thirteenth and
Morrison streets, on the subject, "Has
the Last War Yet Been Fought? Can
the League of Nations Change Biblo
Prophecy 7" "
"Armageddon is still in the future
and will be foueht near Jerusalem,"
sutd the evangclixt.

Taking for his text John xlv:JT Kvan
gellst Dickson said In part as follows:
"Human history Is almost entirely a
history of warfare. The doctrine that
"might Is rlsht" haa prevailed for
nearly 60 centuries, and the passing of
time and the rapid sdvancement In
civilization and knowledge In every
other line has brousrht no change. The
growth of nations In strennth, popula
tion and organization haa but brought
a corresponding increase In war and
bloodshed. Great men In all ages have
tried through human Invention to stem
this awful tide of carnaae. the present
century, which opened with 00 peace
organizations and an International
court of arbitration, not excepted. But
up to the present hour human effort,
unaided by divine power to change sin
ful hearts has yet to be successful in
establishing permanent world peace.
The Bible tells clearly the condition of
the world today, snd tells why peace Is
Impossible as long as sin abounds: The
wicked are like the troubled sea. when
It cannot rest, whole waters rut up
mire and dirt. There Is no peace, satth
my Ood. to the m-tcked.' Isaiah lvll:10.21.
"Prior to the great war In Europe the
outlook aeemed brlaht for the long-hoped-for
millennium, when suddenly,
as one writer said, the world passed
Into another "Dark Ages." It seems im
perative that peace-lovlns; men do all
possible to stem the tide of war and the
demands of those noble men who have
brought to the world the formation of m.
league of nations are most plausible,
and we heartily agree with every hon
est effort toward the one great end of
peace In the earth. However men mist
not be lulled to sleep by the sentiments
about him and forget that we are tread
ing amidst great events which are
marking the closing up of this world'a
history.

tions xvl:i;-l). Armageddon is the
name of the Itttle three-cornered valley
near Jerusalem, In Palestine, where so
many decisive battlea of the world's
history have been fought. This battle
comes under what la known aa the sixth
plague, one of the aeven last plagues,
none of which have yet fallen upon the
world.
"It Is very noticeable that some -who
have been most prominent in the
formation of the league of nations do
not think themselves that peace will
bo permanent. Premier Clemenceati of
France, is reported to have said re
cently, 'While I have said the war has
been won. it would perhaps be more
accurate to say there is a lull In tho
storm.' This statement la in harmony
with the prophecy which says: 'When
they shall say. peace and safety; then
sudden destruction cometh upon them.
. . . and they shall not escape." I Ths
salonisns v:3.
"In Isaiah II and Micah Iv the pro
phets tell us that in the last days men
would strive to call the governments ot
earth to a conference and would say
they shall beat their swords into plow-
ehsree, and their spears Into prunl?c
hooks: nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn
war anymore," and that In this grrst
reconstruction period men and nstion
would try to enthrone Christ as king of
this world under present conditions.
This propaganda ts entirely opposed to
(he whole spirit and scheme of the gos
pel. Clirli-ls kingdom is not of this
world (John xvlii:36) as the master
himself plainly taught while here upon
earth. That the kingdom of Christ will
not be established through absorption
of earthly kingdoms, but after lhfi'
sudden and violent overthrow. Is proves
by many scriptural statements. Ihe
father's promise to the son throuch the
psalmist Is: 'Ask of me. and I shall give
thee the heathen for thine lnherlta.nce.
and the utter most parts of the earth
for thy possession. Thou shall brew
them with a rod of Iron; thou shslt
dash them In pieces like a potter's ves
sel.' I'salms ll:S.9. This cry for so
called 'international righteousness' Is
one of the elements which have been
Injected Into the discussion of the for
mation of a league of peace which
threatens to mar Ihe efforts of the
hish-minded statesmen who are work
Inn for the realisation of their hlsh
ideal a war-free world.
There will soon come a rude awaken
ing to those who have been lulled to sleep
under the many beautiful sentiments
now afloat, when the storm will again
break upon the world and the last great
battle. Armageddon, will be fousht and
Jesus Christ will appear to take to him
self those who have heard and believed,
and acted upon hla word when he said
'Peace I leave with you, my peace I
gtve unto you: not as the world glveth
give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let It be afraid.' "
Thia sermon of last niefet Is the first

Meetings will continue every night In
