When h (Irst rame to Portland b showed slrna of developing Into a first class batter, but It required two yeara schooling to rid him of some of his faulta la thla department, and last year he commenced to ahlne as a sticker. Thla season he has succeeded In banish Ins; all of hla weak polnta aa a batter, and aa a resu'.t. he la leading the leae-ue by a wide margin. When the Buddy Ryan Day rame waa first proposed It was tentatively agreed to play the aama between the membere of the Portland team, but since that time a number of the Portland semi professional teams have anxiously re- queated to be allowed to play thla aama After a conference between the playera It wsa decided to take on one of the young teams, and the Columbus flub Graya were selected. This team has a Una record for the season, and Pitcher Van tloomtaon. who la likely tn twirl axalnst the Bearers, has at tracted the attention of Manager Me- Credle. who may gtva him a tryout If the ynunrster electa to play profes sional ball.

GIANTS ARE EYED Connie Mack Is General of Army of Spies. PITCHERS BENEFIT MOST Athletic to Gain Much If New York Wins Pennant, for World'a Scries Will Mean Some of Greatest Ball Games In History. NEW TORK. Sept. II. Connie Mack la not a manager who rots shoes by standing still. Cornelius, ever' since the Ulants have shown championship form, haa picked ths Polo Grounders aa a team which will win the National League pennant. Mark hopes New York will win the flag, for then his work 111 not have been for naught. Right away you become -suspicious and ask. "What work?" Whereupon you are Informed that Mr. Mack for several dars haa been spying on the tilanta Mark la the general. Others are the sptea It Is simply one of Mack's many ways of engineering a baseball campaign. For several days these specially ap pointed spies. It Is reported, have been trailing; the Olanta Also, they will accompany the New Tork team for the rest of the season. Probably fans will catch their cigar whiffs In Boston; ma be Plttsburgers will exchange con versation with them, and so on. uttl he Giants return home, and the In formers have made themselvaa ac quainted with all the Giants' weak polnta Hew Will Athletics Heaeatt How does It benefit the Athletics? Marhe you do not believe these minor details have a material effect In a HARRY WOLVERTON, LEADER . COACHING LINES. V w J . lei . ,. V " " J . a. h r v;A. IN. i ' V r t y- w world aeries, but Mack does. Every weak point In the Giant team Mack ex pects to have before him before the series opens, and In that way he will be prepared to use an attack that will check the fast work of the Giants on the bases. Of course. If the Gianta lose out. Mack'a work will have been for nothing. But Mack Is willing to take the chance. If the race Is won by New York. Cornelius thinks he will Tie Just that far ahead of the game. What do these spies do? They do not sit In the stands and enthme over the play. They are Interested In the game from a strategic standpoint. If Merkle comes to the bat and awlngs weakly at a low ball and meets a high one squarely, they Jot It down. The next time he comes to bat they watch to see If he "bites" again on low ones. If he does It's a good point, and Mack want to know about It. It may be a good point for Bender. Plank or Coombs. This Is only one Instance. They study every player's strong' and weak points and watch the changes of McGraw'a attack. Particular attention la given to pitchers. They learn Just what kind of balls the boxmen use. Every little detail is Jotted down, and this, too. Is reported to Mack. If the Glanta win out. Mack will feel that he Is well equipped to tackle them, knowing, as he will, their weak polnta Base Stealing BlaC Feature. Base stealing promises to be an im portant factor In the expected world'i series between the Giants and the Ath letlca Mack, in a measure, feara tha Giants' base stealers. In this respect the Giants are well fortified. In Philadelphia the fans believe that Mack will have to do a lot of tall coaching with hla pltchera and catchers to hold the Polo Grounders on tno sacks. Baseball writers In the Quaker City say that Mack has not a pitcher who la an adept at holding a runner on first base. They did. however. In lsst year's world aeries. They also say that Mack has not the best throwing catchers in the American League, and for that reason he will have to teach his players to Interpret the other team's slgnala That waa the system the Athletics used sgalnst the Cubs last year and In 1905. when they played the Giants for the world's title. Last year it worked against the Cubs, but It proved a failure against the Glanta And that is one reason why Mack thought he had better get some spies together and so gather early information In case the Giants win.

Topllners, Heine Heltmuller. the big Angel outer gardener, la climbing the batting percentage column so rapidly theso days that he promises to give Buddy Ryan a run for the swatting honors of the league. Ryan, however. Is still In the lead of the league batsmen and has a margin of 18 polnta over the big Angel hitter. Ryan's mark Is .350, while that of Heltmuller is .332. Rapps. Lindsay. Krueger and Chad bourne, of the Beavers, managed to hold their own against the Vernon pitchers last week, while Carlisle, Mc Donnell and Stlmson. the Hooligan luggers, fell off considerably against the pitching of McCredie fllngers. Abies and Gregory, the Oakland heavers, continue to head the list of winning twlrlers In the Pacific Coast League, while BUI Steen, of the Beav er team, is pressing them hard for the honors. Steen has won .658 per cent of his games, while Ben Henderson and Elmer Koestner are climbing the win column nicely. Beaton and Harkness have also shown winning form and are likely to press the leaders for the hon ors before the season la over.

Hil dreth probably will be the next Amer ican turfman to move his establishment to a foreign course. Mr. Hildreth has decided upon France as tha scene of his next turf operations and he 1b al ready making his preparations for a shift to' that country. When his proposed sale was declared off on account of the ridiculously low prices bid Hildreth took his horses back to his Sheepshead Bay stable, and ever since that time he, has been send ing them along with just enough work to keep them in condition. It is pos sible that he will remain in this coun try long enough to show his colors during the meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club at Pimlico, but his plans are to ship before long and. sell the entire lot in either England or France. For some time Hildreth has had his eye on the foreign courses, and he has come to the, conclusion that France would be more to his liking than those of England. He has received many glowing reports of the sport there from friends that have been abroad, but he will not race his Amer ican string there. His intention is to sell them all out and buy a new lot of French horses for his proposed cam paign. The seven In the Hildreth lot that are taking dally exercise are Fits Her bert, Bestlgouche, Novelty, KingHames, Seus, Hampton, Court and Shannon, a truly notable lot, and horses that should make good in any country.

Arthur Bues notched his two hun dredth hit last Tuesday, the first North western League player to pass the double century mark. Bues has prac tically cinched the batting honors. He need not get another nit all season, and then someone of the noarup con tenders would have to Improve their present percentage to beat him. Lou Nordyke has been climbing rapidly of late and now leads the Spo kane team, as well as rating third among the regulars. Melchior dropped under Swain and Nordyke in tho past few weeks. Nordyke's work this sea son has been illuminating, the veteran refusing to "slow up." In addition to his hard hitting, he stole three bases in one day and five in three successive days within the last week, raising his total to 28, more than that of Ed Ken nedy. Ten Million, Billy Bpeas, Eddie Burns, Heinle Zimmerman and other noted Northwestern speedsters. Cooney is just about going to lead the league In every column of the average box score sheet, outside the hit and put out column. He has made the most runs, the most assists, the most errors and is running Million a neck and neck race for the leadership in times at bat. Incidentally, Cooney's name has appeared In the summary more often than that of any other Northwestern player. Spokane leads In team batting and has scored nearly 100 more runs than any other team. The Indians are run ning a close race with the Beavers for the base running honors and are sec ond to Seattle in extra base hitting honors. Bues leads the Individual sluggers by virtue of his 25 homers. Bennett still shows the base- runners how, with Cooney his nearest rival, and Netzel close up.

BOXIVG CIRCUIT XOW PLAJTNED CInbs In Cities of Middle West Would Uplift Sport. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 23. The effort to arrange a boxing circuit, in cluding Indianapolis. Milwaukee, Kan sas City and New Orleans, by the cIuds in these cities, is progressing favor ably. The Idea is to form a circuit something on the order of a baseball league for the purpose of uplifting the sport and obtaining better and cleaner boxing. The clubs in the cities named above have been endeavoring to come to an agreement for some time, and now there seems to be nothing in the way to stop the fulfilment of their plans. With clubs in each of the cities named, it would be' easier for them to arrange for a better class of boxers to appear all through the circuit, the same as is done in vaudeville, as there would be a saving In railroad fares In bringing to the circuit better men from the Easl and paying their expenses, whereas, single-handed, they could not stand tha expense.
