t HI HALTS GAME T Neither Los Angeles Nor Port land Had Scored When Hostilities Ceased. DOUBLE-HEADER ON TODAY Seaton and Henderson and Levrreng and "name" Delhi Will Probably Be Opposing Fllnger In This Afternoon Clmh. PT v. J. pet . IN. Yesterday (tna between the Beavers and the Angels went but three innings because cf the frequent down pours of rain. When hostilities were called ofT for the afternoon, neither club had been able to score. As this happens to be the last trip t.f the Los Angeles club to Portland this year, both teams agreed before Martina- the game to try to-play It out. for the clubs dislike the Idea of playing douMe headers on a Sunday. But as veMerday's srsme had to be called oft without a decision, two aames will be played this afternoon for one admts Mon. The first game will start at 3 o'clock. This, however. Is conditional on te weather, for If the atmospheric conditions are not favorable to base ball, only one game will be played. Mitv fans expressed dissatisfaction kfter the game was called yesterday, because rain checks were not Issued, but in the Pac.fic Coast League, aa well as In almost every other league In the country, there Is a rule whereby no chocks are Issued after three Inntnge rf play. Notices to this effect are dla rlyed In all of the parks. The Beavers and the Angels would not have at tempted to continue the game after the Interruption In the second Inning yes terdar had It not been for the fact trial this is the final appearance here of the Los Angeles club. Yesterday's game was started In a slight dr1i. Tommy Beaton was pitted against "Lefty" Leverena. Honors were about even between the twlrlers. as neither pitcher allowed a score durtna- the three Innings of play. George Metscer. the Angel third aacker. was Injured in the preliminary practice, and this brought Roy Akin Into the game for the first time thle week. Akin rapped out the only hit allowed by Seaton In the short game, while Tommy, hlmaelf found Lererens for the only btngle the Angel heaver , allowed- If the weather Is fair and two games are plaved this afternoon. Beaton wilt he returned against the Angela In the flrst game, while his opponent will un doubtedly be Leverena. Jn the eeoond game Benny Hendereon and "Flame" Ielhl will hock up In a battle of the giant twirlerm. Those who were rankled over the non-issuance of rain checks yesterday can get square with them selves and the management by seeing two games for one price today.

STAR HURLER Only Luck Saved ex-Collegian to Portland This Year. FEW PITCHERS ARE BETTER Ambitious Twirlcr Say H Would Have, Quit Baseball 1 Not Bought by Big; League Club for Neit Year. BT W. J. PETFAIN The Cleveland Americans took two of the three star, twlrlers of the Port land baseball team last Fall, and thla year the third member of that bril liant pitching trio has been purchased by the big league club with which the I'ortland team has a working agree ment. When Gree-g and Krapp advanced to faster company many marveled that Fteen was jiot also Included In the bargain. It developed that McCredle had absolutely refused to sell Steen. and by some lucky chance "Big Six" escaped the draft, permitting Portland to retain the services of this sterling pitcher for 1911. In the crucial aeries that marked the wlndup'of Inst season's great strug gle for baseball honors. BUI Steen pitched as well aa did either Eugene Krapp or Vean Gregg, and his record for the sesson compares favorably with the marks msde by the two men who have been so suoceesful with the Cleveland club. In Steen Portland has one of the best right-handed pitchers who ever came to the Coast, and be la working better this season than he haa for years. Steen Is College Man. Pteen knows he is to advance to faster company next season, and Is determined to make a a good aa Ureas; and Krapp. Steen lo such a deter mined young man that he is often thought obstinate, but the trait Is not In his nature. He Is taciturn at ttmea. but when he Is In good humor ha la one of the Jolllest of the Portland bunch. -Big Six" Is a native of Pittsburg. Pa., and first played ball for the school teams In a grammar league In Pitts burg. He also attended Washington and Jefferson College for a short time, and branched out as a professional player five years ago. His first pro fessional engagement was with the Alleghany team In the Ohio-Pennsylvania League, from which club he went to Dubuque in the Three Eye League. Prom there he went to Kansas City In the American Association, and was shunted from one club to another In 1908. wearing the uniforms of Kansas City. Louisville. Indianapolis and To ledo In a short space of time. Toward the end of the aeaaon he was aold by Toledo to the Bloomlnwton club of the Three Eye League. While with Bloom Ington in 10 his work attracted the attention of Manager McCredle. who watched his record all season, and when the drafting season opened the Beaver leader quickly snared Eteen. Big Twlrlcr Ambitions. i k "Big Six" reported at San Maria In fine condition, ana nronv into inn lime light almost the moment he joined the club, for he pitched five Innlnga against the Chlrsgo White Sox and did not allow a hit or permit a man to reach first base while he occupied the slab. Since then hla record with Port land Is well known. He hss win a hoat of friends In Portland by Ms re liability and hla gentlemanly behavior both on and off the diamond. Steen la It years of age and la am bitious for a trial In the major leagues. Had he not been aelected by Cleveland or some other major league team for a trial next Spring, he announced some time ago that he would quit baaebaJLand take up surveying. Steen will pass tha greater part of the com ing Winter In Portland, aa he expects to take op surveying as an off-season employment. He says he Is confident of making good with Cleveland next eason. but that he expects to paaa tha Winters In or near Portland In the future.

GAME CALLED IN SEVENTH Lefty Gervals Flings Fine Game for Northwestern League Leaders. Lamllne Hit Hard bat Is Given Good Support. VANCOUVER, B. C. Aug. 19. (Spe cial.) Dode Brinker's smashing -double to the left field fence in the sixth Inning- sent Frisk across the plate with the winning run. Vancouver making It five out of six on the series with Port land. Score, 3 to 2. With a time limit on the game Van couver just got under tha wire, the game being called with the league leaders at bat in the seventh round. The teams left the grounds to make way for the big lacrosse match. Lefty Gervals ascended the pitching hillock for Vancouver and he let the Roadsters down with four singles, being effective In pinches.. Altogether, Vancouver g;ot to Lamllne for ten blows, including a double which did all the damage in the sixth frame. Both pitchers were accorded good support. The league leaders had Lamline in a hole In the first Inning when a couple of hits put runners on the paths, but the Roadsters tightened up in the pinch and retired the locals without a run. Portland got a brace of hits In the second period but slow work on the bases made It easy for the league lead ers to retire the aide. Vancouver scored two runs in the third. Gervais beat out a bunt. Wlllett fanned and Bennett singled to center, Gervals going to third. A double steal followed, and although he had ample time to catch Gervals at third. Harris tried to throw Bennett out at second.

BLAME IS HOT DILLON'S LOS ANGELES' BAD SHOWING DTJB TO POOR MATERIAL-. Had Team's Owner Bolstered TTp Weak Infield and Catchers, Re sults Would Have Altered. Will Frank Dillon pilot the Angela In 1911? Tho writer Is Inclined to think that the veteran will be found right on tho Job again next season, and at tho head of a real ball club at that. Dillon refuses to discuss the prospect. He Is not at all pleased with the show ing his team has made thiB season, but' is reluctant to admit it. for he thinks the Angels have done mighty well with the material possessed- by the club, and with accidents at such fre quent intervals that there has not been one series 'this season when the Los Angeles club has presented its regular lineup In every game. AH Is not sun shine and roses, even with a good-natured boss on a tail-end club. The trouble with the Los Angeles club is not with -the management of Dillon. He has gotten the best service possible out of his materials this sea son, and if Henry Berry had paid more attention to bolstering up his weak ln 'fteld and catching department last Spring, instead of making a hurry trip East when he Invested in a couple of lemons as pitchers, his club would now be much higher in the race. Dillon is inclined to side with Berry in attribuUng the weak showing of the Angels to the pitching department, yet it was most palpable In every game, until very recently, that the one glar ing weakness with the Seraphs was hack of the bat, and the switching of Metzger to third base has Improved the team greatly, for Akin was too slow around that bag on account of his bad legs. In recent games Fred Abbott has been throwing finely to bases, but earlier In the season he was lucky to flag one runner in ten who started a steal. Hughey Smith promises to be a great catcher, but right now he lacks experience, and over anxiety on his part has cost the Angels a number of games. "Pinky" Grlndle looked the best bet of the Angel backstops when that club was here on the previous trip, but Dillon and Berry thought he would not do. and sent him to the Northwest ern League. "I cannot say what Mr. Berry's In tentions are relative to the handling ot the Los Angeles team next season." said Frank Dillon yesterday, "and fur thermore, I do not intend to worry any over- the proposition one way or an other. Mr. Berry and I have always enjoyed the most friendly relations, and on his account I am sorry our club has not shown to better advantage. Wo have had more genuine hard luck than any other club in the league this sea son, for the only time anything broke our way since the opening day was in the last series we had with Portland at Los Angeles. "I like Los Angeles and the Pacific Coast League, and personally I would rather remain on the Coast if I con tinue to follow baseball. Whether I remain In charge of the Los Angeles club or not next sesson rests entirely with Mr. Berry." Dillon was asked If he intended to quit baseball at the end of the present season, and If it were true that he had received a flattering offer to manage the Cincinnati National League team. To the first "Silver Tip" responded that he was not a prophet, and to the sec ond he replied that it was a pipe dream of some enterprising dopester. This afternoon the fana will bid adieu to the Los Angeles club for the balance of the season, and next week J. Patsy O'Rourke and his Senatorial squadron will bo the guests of the Beavers for the last time In Portland this season. O'Rourke's contingent has had the hap py faculty of making things decidedly Interesting for the other clubs in the Pacific Coast League, but has suc cumbed before Portland on each occa sion these clubs have hooked up this season. After the coming series with the Sen ators, which starts Tuesday, the Beav ers go on the road for two weeks In California, and then they return home to wind up the season in the last stand of three weeks on the home lot. The season has still nine weeks to run, and five of these weeks find the Beavers en route, while during four of them they will perform In their own back yard.

SPURT BY VERNON SURPRISE TO P Tearii Garners Games Despite Predictions That Slump Will Soon Come. HOGAN MERITS SUCCESS Scrappy Patsy O'Rourke Plays Just One-Half Hour After Suspen sion Before L'mplre Has to t Banish Him Again. BT HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO. Augv 19. (Spe cial). California baseball fans are watching with considerable interest the oncoming of tho Vernon Villagers, who went Into tho lead In the race last week and bid fair to be contenders until the season's finale. Truth to toll, we experts or alleged experts, aa you will, didn't give the Villagers a mark at the -beginning of the season, and their work against the other clubs, in view of the disappoint ment at the showing of the Seals and the Oaks at times, has brought together a lot of rooters who are now pulling for Vernon as against Portland. That is quite natural, you know, for It Is a case of California agaffist Oregon Tn this Instance, and sympathy begins at home. Personally, I can't figure the Villag ers, and am inclined to think they are possibly playing over their heads. Some of the ball players don't see it the same way and assert that Happy Hogan de serves all the credit in the world for molding a ball team in three years that Is now fighting for the pennant. And perhaps there Is a lot in what they say. Certainly Hogan Is not the fool that his antics on the ball field might lead one to believe, and quite possibly there is more team work than is ap parent on the face of things. Hogonltes Slow on Sacks. The Villagers are sluggers and In that department I am Inclined to think they are making good. Certainly they are not speed marvels on the bases and have used up more runs to win games than almost any team in the league. Deacon Van Buren. of the Sacramen to club, who is a deep student of base ball, says that Hogan has done a lot of work with the club and haa his men all pulling together. At tho present outlook, the flght seems much better than several weeks ago, and while I still- look for the Beavers to be out In front when the last gong Is sounded, any one of the four teams well up In the race has a fighting chance for the honor of being the pennant winner. It is extremely lucky from the finan cial end of the game that Vernon Is up In the race. Reports from Los Angeles Bay that tho attendance when the An gels axe at home has fallen off amaz ingly and that the fans oi that city have taken -to rooting for the Vernon club, which is a prime favorUe with the bugs. Patsy O'Rourke, the scrapping man ager of tho Senators, has fallen from grace again. In short, it didn't take Patsy very long to oume Into the bad graces of the umpires. Suspended two weeks ago because of his trouble with George Hildebrand, he got back into the game only last Tuesday, thanks to the leniency of President Graham and Umpire Hildebrand, and it was not half an hour before Patsy had been bounced again. O'Rourke Too Pugnacious. O'Rourke didn't use) any particularly bad language nor did ho rush into com bat, but Umpire Finney explains that he "crabbed" at a decision and there fore had to go. The trouble started after the, Seals had scored six runs and were that much to the good. Then Vitt started to steal and O'Rourke, who was to take the throw, deliberately got In the way of the base runner. The consequence was that O'Rourke was bumped, lost the ball, and a man stole home from third. Patsv's temper was none too good, and he yelled that he had been interfered with. He protested so much that Finney was obliged to wave him out of the game. O'Rourke didn't make a move to leave, however, until ho had entered a formal protest with the official scorer. O'Rourke can't afford to go about car rying a chip on his shoulder and his tactics didn't make any friends for him. Jimmy Lewis, the Senator, who was hit on the head by a pitched ball a few weeks ago. Is back in the game with an Innovation. He wears a football headgear of the type that was In usage when the American game was played in California. He wears it over his cap and when he reaches the 4 base, takes It off. It is tightly tied sdj that he can run to first without any dan ger of losing the skypiece. Lewis isn't wearing this protector with the idea of Its saving him from hard cracks, although It would doubt less serve as a fender. He has been long enough in the game to know the fear that such accidents instill tn a man, and he wants to regain his con fidence. Angels' Bad Race Explained. Occasionally he removes the foot ball apparatus when he is at bat. which is also a good scheme in the manner of accustoming himself to standing well to the plate. The Seals, taking into consideration the crippled list, have been doing fair ly good work of late. Kid Mohler was out of the game the first of the week with a bad sprain, and it was whis pered that he might be out for a long time. So far as the present season is concerned, however, he doesn't need to worry, for with Weaver at second. McArdie at short and Oscar Vlt.t at third, he has a good tight infield. Weaver pulled off some sensational plays against the Senators early this week. What Long Is going to do with all his infielders is hard to say. He has far more of them than he can use. but evidently is unable to make up his mind which he would prefer to retain. So far se has been using Madden and Shaw against right banders and send ing In some of his other talent when the southpaws have been working. That Is not the best thing in the world so far as the payroll Is concerned. Art Smith and Joe Holland certainly have done very little to strengthen the club thus far in the race, although they may pick up. Catcher Walter Schmidt, of the 8an Francisco aggregation, says the rea son the Angels haven't been doing better this year is because they have been working at cross purposes instead of all pulling together. A ball player is ordinarily in a better position to get track of that sort of thing than the man who sits in the press) box and watches the game from afar. Without any disparagement of Frank AS Dillon, who has been a grand ball , ( player, the Angels will nouDiiess nave to have a new first baseman next sea . son. Dillon is growing old in the har ' ness and while still a capable leader doesn't handle ground balls as he did a couple of years back. His experience and general knowledge of the game has been holding him In place more than anything else. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Philadelphia 3, Chicago 1. CHICAGO, Aug. 19.

CAREY RIVALS PIRATES' STARS Pittsburg Outfielder One of Factors In Pennant Race. PITTSBURG. Aug. 19. The Pittsburg team is one of the sensations of the National League pennant race this year. One of the big factors in the Pirates march toward the pennant Is Max Carey. Fred Clarke's clever outfielder. Being a college man he was study ing for the ministry he has been taught to use his brains in baseball as well as in the pulpit. The game ne Is playing now puts in the shade the ef forts of older men who areirecognlzed stars. Song of the Dopester. Oh fans, hang- your grouch on the bat rack awhile, J . .
