What Would a Major League Team Give for This Ideal Pacific Coast Battery ? IF THE PITCHER HAD THIS: AND THE CATCHER THIS: i RYAN IS HOT YET SURPASSED AT BAT Beaver Fielder Continues at Top of Coast League's Willow Averages. CHAD AND KRUEGER CLIMB Buddy' FHkwGrdencr Arc Grad- oally Bettering Work With Slkk. Able and Gregory Bet at Plu-liing. With the handsome mark of -Si. ch. Run ruitlnues to head the P- clrtc Coast League batters, despite the predictions of few knocxers woo n hern asserting that Buddy would lump In hi hitting. The other day .rk. haired arardener manipulated a home run off a left-handed pitcher with the bases full, and w;is is muuu.. the only Indication he has shown of slumping o far this aeaaon. However, the "anvil chorus" has It that Buddy Is rot behaving himself and Is trying- to show that he Is not ' playing the fame as it should he playeU. but the leading- batter of the league continues to get his hits and an occasional homer Just the same. -Knockers" Are Buy. Some -knockers" have written to McCredie and saying- that Ryan la flahting the -booxe." If he is. let us hope lie keeps It up. for he is hltt r.g etter than he ever did In his life. Buddy Is leading- all of the Coast League batsmen by a wide margin, and lie is behaving himself as well, which means that he will continue to lead the sluggers of the league, to the end of the season, despite his crippled hand. Artie Krueger and Chester Chad bourne have been gradually Increasing their percentages and If they keep up their present galta they may ret Into the .300 class along with Ryan. Abies and Gregory Stars. rles and Gregory, of the Oakland team, continue to be the premier plich ers of the Pacific Coast League when it comes to winning games. - Tom Bea ton, of Portland, haa a remarkable rec ord He has pitched J3 games, of which he has won IS and lost 1 and tied one. This of Itself Is not much of a record, but the fact that he has pitched nine five-hit gamee, five four-hit games, two to-hlt games, and one one-lilt game Is the remarkabte feature, for a summary revea!. that he has pitched 17 games In which he has held the opposing team to flva blngles or less. Buddy Ryan continues supreme in changing out doubles and home runs. He has 3S doubles and 1 homer to his credit up to the games played August and la well represented among the tatters hitting three-baggers The Vernon Club has been kept In the race by the phenomenal batting being indulged in by that club, which, collec tively Is represented In the averages with a mark of .. an exceptionally high batting average for any team.

Coast League hatleryl What would you give for two toanera possessing the combined quali fications of the stars of the circuit If ton were a major league club owner fighting for the pennant? Pittsburg recently gave 29.0' In cold cash for th St. Paul battery O'Toole and Kelly :2.5bi) of the amount for OToole alonv. Look the above com bination over -ery carefully. Study It out. First take the pitcher. We have a man with the brains of Ben Henderson, of the Portland club. who. although he has never been In the big show, really knows how to pitch: the speed of Southpaw Abies, of the Oakland club; the curvos of Charley Baum, of Sacra mento: the control of Tom Heaton. of Portland: the batting of Steen. who. In addition. Is ohosen by many as the b.et twlrlrr In the legue; the wonder ful arm of Henley of San Kranclsco. or Pernoll of the Oaks, and the base running of Browning of iSan Francisco, or Iverens of I.os Angeles, whose work on the . native brought In ttie winning tally in the first game last Sunday. Then take a look at the Ideal catch er. First "we have a backstop with tl.n hvnlna rif Mannv Moe-un. of Vernon. Hogan may not be the best backstop in the league by a wide margin, but he possesses a great deal more gray mat ter than he gets credrt for; second, a player with Tommy Murray's steely arm: next the batting of Ira Thomas, of the Sacramento team, who goes to Boston again this Fall; the throwing of Berry of San Francisco: the base run ning of Kuhn of Portland, and the superb receiving of Mitze of the Oaks, one of the foremost backstops on the Coast. Don't you think this battery would make good In the big brush? . .. i iagEBBa. Chrlatlan. Oakland Ti Warra. Oakland 50 t'oy. Vvrnnn. lakland. . . . 274 Knwlnfr. Portland Ill llaatv. Vernon 9 Mttsi.

CINCINNATI. Aug. 28. The Cincin nati Reds are to have one of the best grand stands of any around the cir cuit. The Cincinnati management has definitely decided that it will erect a new stand during the Fall and Win ter. The architect who has designed the new stand baa visited all the other structures built within the past few years and from each has gathered Ideaa that he will put into effect In Cin cinnati. All the architects who de signed the latest structures have passed upon his plans and declare that he has designed the finest grand stand In the country. The plans are all drawn and estimates made and there is nothing to do now but let the contracts and begin work. It Is quite likely that the con tracts will be given out before the first of next month and they will specify that work must begin at once and the stands completed in their en tirety by April 1. When the work la completed the grand stand on the Cin cinnati field will not have to take a bark seat to any of them. IKS STILL UP Big Seattle Pitcher Leads Northwestern League. ENGLE KEEPS HITS LOWEST Vancouver Man Plays In Score of Games, Wins 15 and In 10 Has Held Opponents to Five Hits or ICssBues Is Shy Homer. BV J. NEWTON COLVER. Chlmmy Wlggs, the big Seattle twirl er. retains his lesdershlp of all North western League pitchers in the per centage column, and it still appears that this is no league for young pitch ers, veterans holding all the top posi tions In the point of winning gafnes. Gordon, the young Bremerton lad with Tacoma. appears to be the most consistent winner of 'the youngsters, with Dave Skeels, of Seattle, a good second. Engle, of Vancouver, shows best in point of holding down hits. Engle has pitched 30 games, won 15. and In ten of the games haa held his opponents to ' five hits or less. Cates. of Van couver, has pitched the greatest num ber of flve-hlt games. Bonner leading In the four-hit class. Clark In the three, and Starkell in the two. Engle has pitched two one-hit games. Rasmussen and Jensen have pitched no-hit games. Lane and Thomas together shutting Ta coma out without a hit once. ....

Senators Make Last Appear ance Here This Afternoon. M'CREDIE IS SANGUINE Portland Leader Hopes to Captor Series With Oakland and Sacra mento In South End of Race Is In Sight. BY W. J. PETRAjIN". This afternoon marks the final ap pearance here this season of J. Patsy O'Rourke and his Sacramento club, and it also means the last of the Beavers for a couple of weeks, as McCredie's league leaders are off for a fortnlght'4 session in California at tne conclusion of this afternoon's affray. Eight more weeks remain of the Pa cific Coast League race, and in five ol these the Beavers will be en route, while but three more weeks are sched uled of the class A ball at the Vaughn street Park. The coming two weeks oi play will find Portland invading ths home of the Oaks and the Senators. The first series will be a hard-fought struggle, for Oakland is the contending team and on the outcome of the series which will begin Tuesday aftarnoon at the Bay City, may depend the outcome of the race. Oaks Have,Been "Jin." On the occasion of the last two meet ings between Portland and Oakland, the Beavers have been trimmed de cisively each time. The Oaks won the recent series in Portland by taking four out of six, and they also trimmed the Beavers at San Francisco by hooking six out of seven, which gives that club a margin of 10 out of the last 12 games played with McCredle's team. McCredie, however, is sanguine over the prospects of the Beavers getting back at the Oaks in the coming series. He confidently expects his team to take the series from the Oaks by the margin of at least one game. The Beaver lead er says his club is in better shape, the addition of Lindsay, In his estimation, helping materially. The coming series with Oakland will undoubtedly prove a factor in the race for the flag. If the Oaks reverse the score expected by McCredie they stand a good chance of taking the lead, and it would be up to the Baavers to do some consecutive winning .o get bsck Into first place. Seven gamos will be played during the coming week, and If Portland should win the odd game the pennant can be said to be la sight, for the next time Portland meets the Oaks will be on the Beavers' home grounds. Following the coming series with Oakland, McCredie and his braves march upon Sacramento, which seems like a cinch for the Beavers every t:ire these clubs meet. Sacramento has not won a series from Portland since com ing into the league, and this season the best the Senators have been able to do with the Beavers has been to get two games out of six on one or two occasions.. After the two weeks in the Southland, the Beavers will return home for the final home stand, when they will meet the Vernon, Oakland and San Francisco clubs in succession.
