I HT ROSCOE FAWCETT. t Vaughn etret yesterday, winning two games from the Beavers via the home-run route and sending the Port land club skidding back into the sec ond division. Scores, 5-4 and 4-0. Any almanac will tell you that the tnoon shines south of the Potomac, and any one of the 4500 fans at the fcall orchard yesterday will testify that "Hack" Miller of the Oaks can pole the ball. Miller broke up the first game in the 12th inning with a screaming home run over- the right field fence that lit on top of the foundry building and bounded almost Into Guild's lake. Southpaw Samuel Ross was pitch ing at the time. Sam relieved Kallio In the sixth with the score 4-0 In Oakland's favor. Kallio was twirling excellent ball, but Carl Spranger and Tex Wisterzil had the dropsy or writer's cramp and conspired to hand the Oaks three runs on a platter. Miller Active With Pole. "Hack" Miller virtually won the knocking another theatric thump over the deep center-field fence off 'Slicker" Brooks. Arlett had pre ceded him with a homer into the left field bleachers, bo the score after Miller's swat stood 2-0 in the Oaks' favor. Miller's double paved the way for two more runs in the sixth. Arlett continued to pitch airtight tall and the only chance the locals had cropped up in the last half of the fourth and Umpire Ed Rankin killed that with a close decision that went against us. Manager McCredie yanked Brooks In the seventh and Glazier twirled the last two innings. Wes Kingdon also made his appearance at shortstop midway in the game and got quite a hand. Had a member of the Beaver wreck ing crew pulled Hack Miller's home run stunt In the initial game there probably would have been a lot of louse change raining onto the dia mond. The fans were all primed for a jazzy finlBh. Oakland got off to a fine 4-to-0 head start. Brubaker's triple and Cooper's single scored one In the first Inning. Spranger's error and Brubaker's hit registered another in 'the third, and two scored on a dublo Into left by Honus Mitze In the fourth inning. Both these were pre sentations, ior i ex wisterzil tost a pop fly in the sun that would have been the third out. Baker Houses nearer Hope. Portland hadn't dented Holllng'e dalivery until the fifth when Mc Credie sent Del Baker out to ba,t for Kallio. Baker singled through short, ncorlng Koehler. In the sixth the locals scored three more and tied the game. Wlstersll doubled to left, jlalsel singled to short and Schaller singled to right, scoring Wisterzil. A deliberate walk to Cox filled the bases and Mister Cooper of the Oaks thereupon saved the game for Holling by making a spectacular one-hand catch of Koehler's' long sacrifice fly. Schaller walked home after the catch and Blue also scored when Lane drummed up Cooper's throw-in. Den nie Wilie became so disgusted with the horseplay around second base that he threw his glove Into the air and almost brought down an air plane hovering over the field. Ross pitched fine bail from the sixth to the twelfth. He walked lilir deliberately In the tenth and it rrjlfii ftave been a wise procedure for the twelfth. The Oaks won the series four games to three.

Mitchell. The second game turned into a rout when the Ralnlers garnered 14 hits off Smallwood, including a homer by Bohne, triples by Eldred. Ken worthy and Stumpf and Murphy's double.

Confidence in Honesty of Suspend ed Salt Lake Player Is Re asserted, However. SAX FRANCISCO, Aug. 22. (Spe cial.) After watching Sait Lake win two hard-fought ball games here to day, W. H. Lane, president of the Salt Lake club felt disposed to drop his fight to have Bill Rumler reinstated. Lane said he still had confidence In the honesty of Rumler, even though he was Indiscreet in getting mixed up with Babe Borton, but that as President McCarthy remained firm in his determination to keep Rumler sus pended, Lane would give up the fight for the good of baseball.". Lane said that McCarthy had ex ceeded his authority in suspending Rumler indefinitely, for he Is allowed to suspend a player only ten days and fine him 1100. if he gives him the limit. Lane was disposed to have meeting of the directors of the league called to see if he could take the matter up over McCarthy's head. but he has thought better of that. It is doubtful If he could get four di rectors who would sign a call for a meeting, for the feeling is pretty gen eral that Rumler should go and keep company with Maggert, Borton, Sea- ton and Smith. "For the good of baseball. I guess I will stop fighting for Rumler," said Lane today. "I hate to see the career of a young fellow ruined in this way, but I have gone about as far as I can for him. McCarthy holds that Rumler should go. for there is no doubt but that he had dealings with Baseball Summary. National League Standings. W. L. Pet. I W. L.

'I care nothing about Rumler'i value to the Salt Lake club, for I would rather finish last with a team of kids than have a crooked ball player on my club. But I still think the big fellow told the truth about his deal with Borton. and although appearances are certainly against him. I don't think be did anything crooked. , Even if Rumler is rein stated, he will not be with the Salt Lake club next year, for we don't want a player against whom there Is even a shadow of suspicion. I guess we will go out now and try to buy a player to take Rumler's place." Harry Wolter was turned over to Salt Lake by the Seals today.

NEVER ANOTHER VARDEN, SO DECLARES FRANCIS OUIMET Unusual and Astonishing Points in Play of Great British Golfist Are Pointed Out, BY FRANCIS OUIMET. , WITHIN seven don, T ITHIN a few day3 It will be years since Harry Var ied Ray and I met in the play-off for the open title of 1913. As I look back upon that day and our more recent meeting this season, many changes come to mind. Take Vardon, for instance. Seven years ago he was 43. But in appearance he be lied that fact, while his play reminded you for all the world of youth in ac tion, rather than of the well-developed man. His swing was both grace and beauty personified. It almost seemed to me as thougii some mechanical contrivance set his- arms and body in motion at each stroke, so smooth and harmonious wa.9 each one. There will never be another Harry Vardon. In 1913 his uncanny accuracy from the tee caused us to marvel. Every one craeked from the face of his driver and sped far down the center of the fairway. There was always a slight fade to the right, but this in-no sense cost distance. Even more astounding were his crisp, pow erful Irons. They seemed magnetized, so far and true did they carry and so consistently did they hold the greens dead to the cup. There was only one fault putting. He was notoriously poor at that. Yet in the play-off he missed but one short four-footer: and he ran down many useful ones at twice that distance. Had Vardon ever developed a passably fair game on the green, golf might as well have granted him every title striven for, as he surpassed the field In all else. It was this weakness which alone caused him to have rivals. It seemed to me that he lacked con fidence and showed it, for he was mighty carefui on the greens, though riever painfully so. There was always the fear that each putt would not run down. A quick, nervous Jerk sent the ball straight on its way, but an aggravating side swing kept it from running true. Many a valuable stroke was thus lost. But Vardon never let these upsets perturb him. The next hole filled his mind. Therein is a les son for any golfer. On those difficult long approach shots he more than CURDS GET ENTIRE SERIES BRAVES DROP FOUR IX ROW AT ST. LOUIS. Giants Score Cub Victory In Elev enth, and Robin Win Evens . ' Games With Reds. ST.

The winning pace of the Chicago Americans, which has carried them to the top of the league standing, indicated that only a decided brace by either Cleveland or New York can prevent the White Sox from repeating last year's sue- neia nis own. 1 doubt if he had a su perior at this trick. I can best de scribe his skill here by saying he would match Walte Travis at run ning tfiem dead. All In all, Vardon was the soundest golfer I ever saw play. Some day, his equal will come again. . Ted Ray was 36 when we met at Brookllne. A powerful figure of . a man. his long, powerful shots niacin him to golf what Ruth is now to base ball. Spectators crowded courses to delight in watching him hit them a mile and on the very next shot make a phenomenal recovery. Usually long swatters have no other weapon. Not so Ted. He could handle an Iron as effectively, if not as gracefully, as Vardon. And he had the rare gift of putting. Few players I have ever watched ever possessed anything like his delicate touch. Thus, you can readily see "what a fine player he was when this combination got working. That was the Ray I met in 1913. Time has wrought great changes. The youngish-looking Vardon of 1913 was a white-haired veteran this sea son, still the personification of grace and ease, but as uncertain as ever on the greens and lacking the sting in his irons that formerly marked his play. With all due respect to the old man, I doubt his ability to stand up under the strain of big championships quite long enough to win out. I hope I am wrong in this, because no player ever has been a greater credit to the game or a finer sportsman. It will gladden my heart any time he comes through. And I do hope he -will pay us many more visits. Big Ted, though his hair is turning to gray. Is the same skilled player of former times. The years that passed between our two meetings have for tunately not burned out any of the tremendous power and they have add ed to his good nature. His game is always a delight and an education And as long as that power remains with him this splendid golfer, grow ing Into rapid favor here, can be counted on to give any opponent all the fight he can handle.

No great strength is being displayed by the three leading National league teams and a clOBe race down the September stretch is expected. Brook lyn today brought about a virtual tie with Cincinnati for first place by de feating the Reds and breaking even on the four-game series. New York, two games behind, will start a scries with Cincinnati Friday. DEMPSEY WORKOUT CANCELED 1000 Persons Disappointed AVhen Rain Stops Series of Bouts. BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Aug. 22.

The champion has pitched his training camp at the gate of the arena in which he is to defend his crown. Three tiers of seats, accommodating 3000 additional persons, have been added around the entire arena, while bleacher seats will be provided fof 5000 more. UMPS FARE ILL IN NORTH XEW LEAGUE PROVIDES FAST "RAZZIXG" AMUSEMENT. Fines Frequent AVhen Players and Indicator Men Try to Set tle Disputes. Although the games In the Pacific International league may not be up to double A standard, the fans get double A "razzing" of the umpires by the players. The indicator handlers have been treading a stony path all season around the Washington-Brit ish Columbia circuit. Bill Leard, erstwhile coast leaguer and now the Dattllng manager of the Victoria Bees, was fined 25 the other day for a fist fight with Umpire "Red" Held, another old coast league friend. The bout was in Victoria and but for the fact that Held admitted he was the aggressor Leard migh have had a month's salary slapped on him. Several weeks ago Leard struck Umpire Tom McCoy, now resigned. In the eye during an altercation on the field in Victoria. First Baseman Hesse of the Seattle Paciflo International league, was fined $100 and suspended for the res of the season recently for attempting to pull the nose of Umpire George Engle. Lngle also has resigned. About the only umpire who has no taken a whirl at the northern com bination is Ed Rankin: Hardly anything that resembled a melee has transpired at the Vaughn street diamond this season, while only a few instances of players tangling with the umpires have been brought to notice on the coast this year. Walter McCredie tried to tangle with one in Los Angeles but there were no fatalities. Entry Blanks for Coast Championships Mailed.

Ad Santel is picking up a nice little bundle of money these days by way of pin money for his trip through the orient. He has easily been aver aging $1000 or more a week in his matches which are following closely one upon the other. Having made something over $5000 last week when he wrestled Londos, he'll draw, in another couple of thousand next Wednesday when he gets in the ring against Youssif Hussane, which prob ably will be little more than a canter for Santel, PUBLIC LIIS TO HELP U. S. GOLF America Leads England in ' Developing New Players. MEW COURSES ARE NEED Municipally Owned Parks Are Ad vocated by Former World's Open Champion. By HARRT VARDON, Former World's Open Golf Champion. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) Public golf courses nave ' got to come sooner or later. As1 golf grows, so does the need for courses over which those wno are not members of exclusive clubs may plav at small expenditures. They deserve places to play. Golf .should be a game for everybody who chooses It. There is no reason wny It snould be held as the conventional sport of n. class more than that all men under 60 years of age, not strokes should be forbidden to play. I look forward to a day when the man who works with his hands or with a pencil may be able "to top off his busy day with a sociable round of golf. England needs municipal courses quite as badly, or more so, than America does. The situation in this relation that I consider ideal is that at Edinburgh, where the public course accommodates hundreds every day at threepence each a round. I can't be sure that this is still the nominal charge, but it was not very long ago. And they make money at this rate. Vacant Lands Could be Used. Any property-holder who has a bit of idle acreage would be doing the community a service by turning it nto a public course, allowing any one to play for payir. a small amount. It would be a service to the community because it would provide good, clean epoi"t and would encour age social relationships. But it would be a great help, too, to the game of golf, for any factor that spreads the play of golf tends to in crease the skillful standard and to develop latent ability, is a great ele vator of the game. I am for the best of golf, first and last. The game has not yet come to Its perfect limit. It is my humble opinion tnat tne better way for conducting public courses would be in the same fine manner that your great parks are carried on municipally. It may be that there are municipal links In many sections of America; about that I don't know. But 1 do know that there are not enough courses. The growth of the game is being very much retarded because of the lack of them. I am surprised that a city like De troit has not a single public course. There is a town that has produced some of the finest of all golf players. Walter Hagen's home Is there and, if my memory serves me properly, 1 have been told that Leo Dlegel was reared in Detroit. Then there are Alex Ross and Mike Brady. There Is much Interest and even enthusiasm for golf in Detroit.' Yet if there had been public courses do you not sup pose that Detroit s interest would have been many times greater than It now is? I shall not say that all public courses would be prolific of cham pions. But it cannot.be denied that the law of percentages would work quite as well on municipal links as it would In the - finest club In your country. Say, If you will, .that there Is far better instruction in the clubs than could possibly be where hun dreds would go over the course every day and Instruction could not be in detail. You are granted that. But with a proper start at a suitable age, conscientious play will bring out most of the golf that one has in his constitution. Many a good golfer has come out of the public courses. Take, as an example, a man said to be one of the best amateurs in the country, whom I have in mind a product of Van Cortlandt park. New York. It is true that there are even fewer public courses in England, propor tionally, than there are in the United States. It seems to me that, since America undeniably has a trend to ward them now, while England ap parently has not seen the necessity, you are in an open way to a not in considerable gain on English golf-. It does not seem just and it is not Iff' fir ' r ''1 mm & j - a J so to keep as great a game as golf restricted to a favored few. The more who play the better will the game be! If golf goes into a shell, like a tortoise, it will progress at about the same rate of speed as the tortoise. VABDEX AM) RAY BREAK KVKX BritOns Defeated in Morning, . IVut AVin In Afternoon. CHICAGO.
