SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 10. (Spe
cial.) The baseball today was without
particular features, unless you want
to count the number ox chances mat
the Seals had to send men around the
bases, but didn't. And with all that,
the Beavers made the most of the
chancer that were coming to them and
won S to 1 after three straight
defeats.
Young Gregg pitched four-hit ball
up to the eighth inning, but when it
looked as if there was to be a San
Francisco rally, the Northern twirler
was benched. He had two men on
bases and one down when he said
farewell to the pitching mound.
Klawitter mowed the boys down, with
no more hits. .
Bunts Are Beaten Out. -Jess
Baker was hardly as successful.
Two of the runs he forced home were
walks when the Beavers had the bases
full and the other was as much the
fault of 'hits off the southpaw as
Corhan's error. Portland made a spe
cialty of beating out infield bunts on
Baker and got away with it in good
shape.
Dell Howard was the hit specialist
for the locals and Fitzgerald for the
Oregonians, each finishing up with
three smashes to their credit. Howard
broke into the extra base hit column
with a double, which puts him Just
a trifle in front of the collegian.
Baker had his bases filled In the
second with no one out. Butcher sent
a twister high in the air. Howard,
who was trying for the catch, missed
fire. Rodgers trying a sacrifice hit,
the ball passed Baker for a single.
Fitzgerald laid another bunt along
third and beat the throw. A walk for
Howley forced Butcher home. Ban
croft lined to Corhan and Rodgers was
out at the plate. A strike out on Gregg
left the Seals in better shape, but
Baker insisted on walking Doane, which
gave the Beavers their second run.
Batcher Scores In Sixth.
In the sixth Rapps hit, but was
caught trying to steal second. Butcher
sent a liner past third and stole
Rodgers' slow grounder to short was
good for a hit, but the throw by Cor
han wn had and Butcher comnleted
the circuit for the Beavers' final tally

Billy Farrell. Portland feather

Bobby Lyman, claimant to the North
west featherweight title, at Eugene,
Labor day. However, Lyman, while
claiming the crown, la unwilling to
meet Farrell at anything but -115
pounds.
"I am willing to meet Lyman at Eu
gene or any other place on a winner-take-aJI
basis, but I cannot make 115
pounds," said Farrell. "Lyman Is
afraid to tackle men at 123 pounds, the
legitimate featherweight limit, and Is
trying to force me and other men to
meet him at 115 pounds, when he fig
ures he will have an easy time."
Lyman writes that he Is fistic boss
of Eugene, having exclusive right to
stage fights In that Oregon city.
Boatbuilding Is a new Industry which Is

"Doc." Burritt Gains Fame in
Xorthwestern Circuit for Almost
Miraculous AVork in Bring
ing Relief to Players.
Probably more than .a million words
have been written about "Bonesetter"
Reese, the chap back in Youngstown,
Ohio, who -renovates the ailing major
eague baseball pitchers, but have you
ever heard of Charles Burritt. the
Bonesetter Reese" of the Northwest
ern League?
You probably have never heard tne
name, yet had it not been for his min

won a pennant for Portland in 1910
and proved the sensation of the Amer

splendid interpretations oi tne isauonai

Dr. Charles Burritt, neuropatn, oi
Tacoma, Wash., Is to the Northwestern
League ballplayer what a 'life belt 1s
to a wrecked sailor. His door Is al
ways open to the ballplayer, no mat
ter what his financial condition, and
few Indeed are the supplicants who
have left his office without relief.
Whenever a pitcher gets a kink In
his arm he goes to "Doc" Burretf. The
kink Is generally removed after a
Inute or two of tugging, and pulling
which brings' excruciating pain but
peaceful relief to the patient.
The pltcner enters ijurnits omce.

neuropath.
"Well, what s tne matter now, you
old son-of-a-gun?" Jovially inquires
Doc."
"Mighty bad arm; -can't raise it over
my head, mourniuny replies tne
moundman.
-All right; take off your shjrt."
Then follows the delving into the
uscles until Burritt has located the
seat of the .trouble. The hurler gives
a yell of pain and then it's:
'You're all ngnt now, in a cneertui
voice, and strange to say. the klnkTias

for strenuous diamond conflict the next
day.
Burritt s greatest feat was performed
upon Scharnweber, the Vancouver in
fielder. several years ago. "Scharney"
was taken to Tacoma on crutches, and
hobbled into the busy Tacoma office of
tbe neuropath, a sad sight to behold.
After 15 minutes of rubbing and tug

"Sure you can; you're all right," was
the comeback.
And sure enough, the player had en
tirely recovered from his ailments. He
grabbed his crutches and went off down
the street, ready to break into the
game again. '
Create Is "Fixed Vp.n
When Gregg was sold to Cleveland
by Spokane several years ago, the
southpaw hurler was going like the
nroverbial house-afire. ' But a few
days later he developed a sore arm and'
was unfit for duty tbe remainder of
the season.
Late that year he was advised to
go to Burritt. He made the trip, and
returned with his left arm encased in
a leather harness which prevented the
use of that appendage. He carried his
valuable arm about In the brace for a
time, then Joined Portland in 1910,
helped win a Pacific Coast League pen
nant, and in 1911 went up to the "big
show" to startle the baseball world.
Tommy Tonneson, the Portland
southpaw, is one of Burritt's strongest
boosters. Last season Tommy had one
of the worst cases of "crooked" arm
Imaginable. He took the tortured mem.
ber to Tacoma, had a dislocated muscle
yanked into its natural groove, and was
himself once more.
Bad Lear la Cured.
Norman Crulkeljank, Colt outfielder,
Is another of Burritt's products. A
bad leg bothered him at Seattle and he
was unable to play before placing him
self under Burritt's care. The leg is
now as good as ever, and Crulkshank
has been hitting and playing at a clip
to give the lie to Seattle predictions
that he would never "come back" and
that Portland would discover It had
secured a "lemon" In exchange for
Lee Strait
Doty and Veazey, two pitchers new
to the Northwestern League this sea
son, have been relieved by the Taco
man, while Fred Lamllne, of last year's
Portland team, is also numbered among
the men to whom Burritt has been a
guardian angel.
Bill Speas, Colt outfielder, threw his
arm out of joint early in the season,
and complications threatened- to place
him on the bench indefinitely. He
took the train from Seattle to Tacoma,
spent a few minutes with Burritt. and
played the next day.

JOKER DISCLOSED
IN NEW AGREEMENT
Major Leagues Now -More
Than Ever Brokers of
Baseball Player's.
MINORS SURE TO PROTEST
Under New Dispensation Players
. Purchased Must Be Turned
Over 80 Days Before
.' Draft Season.
Is the new National agreement In
organized baseball, which went into
effect July 20, to help the minor
leagues? , "
The majors consented to an increase
In draft price, giving the Pacific Coast
League and other organizations of
Class AA, $2500 for drafted men and
the B leagues, including the Northwest
ern. $1200; but an Inspection of the
agreement, caused by the status of
-it-- wrwnii an other Portland
Colt players intended for 1918 Beaver
consumption, discloses me junci
articles.
Under the National agreement now
In force, an agreement intended to
work fox the betterment of the minor
leaguee. the majors are more than ever
i i,--- f kaii niavnrs. the market
iilace to which the minors must go to
purchase Daaiy neeoea pij..
Under the old agreement a minor
league could purchase the release of
another minor league player, say a
Class AA man from a Class B. six days
before the opening of the draft sea
son. Today the player must be pur
chased and turned over to the purchaser
30 -days before the major draft season
opens, or on August 15. six weeks be
fore the average, season closes.
What minor league club, with the
slightest chance for a pennant or the
slightest regard for Its patrons, is go
ing to sell one of its best men six
weeks before the season closes?
The result? Why the player is . held,
the majors draft him for from S0fl to
$1500 and the Class A A club must then
dicker with the drafter for the man at
an advanced price.
We have a fine example of the worK
Ings of the system right here In Port
land. ' The Northwestern League team
is primarily a recruiting - '
the Pactfle Coast League club. But at
the same time the club must be pre
served It it is to be a factor in the
race and prove anything but one con
tinual drain on the resources of the
parent organization.
But under the new agreement this re
impossible. For example, McDowell,
a player whose work entitles him to
step into Class AA next year, is sold
to the Colts. He Is a tower of strength
to Nick Williams team and probably
the most valuable man on the squad.
But If the Beavers are to protect him
against a $1200 major league draft,
he must be withdrawn from the Colts
30 days before September 15, the open
ing of the five-day major league drafts
'"fhresuit is that the Portland Colts
will be weakened and the Beavers
forced to resort to illegal means of
holding their sfluad. providing they are
carrying more than 20 men.
In these days -of baseball there are
few minor league clubs without "high
er up" affiliations. Each D club has a
working agreement as to players from
a C or B league and so on up the lad
der. The weaker clubs take care of
the bigger fellows in the matter of
promising material likely to be lost in
the draft shuffle, and in turn can al
ways depend upon them for assistance
in the early season weeding out.

squarely up to the little fellows. They
must cripple their teams, robbing
them of the- best players, with the sea
son six weeks from the end, or throw
their talent into'the major league maw
for distribution as the 16 favored clubs
see fit
When the minor league magnates
meet in Milwaukee next November It
is a safe bet that the new agreement
in fni. a ti-Wflr. ff-rilllner and not
only that, but it will soon thereafter
be known as the "old agreement." inso
far as some of the details are con

Jack played his first year of profes

he was drafted by the Portland Bea

BY JAMES H. CASST5LL.
The Colts made It four straisrht vic
tories over the Tacoma Tigers by
taking a rather slow and uninteresting
game from Mike Lynch's trailers yes
terday 5 to 1. The unbroken string
of victories is a duplicate of last week's
performance against Victoria and that
Of the first appearanre of Tacoma at
Vatighn-strret park.
Melkle pitched fair ball, the hit
tally showing 12 for the Tigers against
only ten for the Colts, but he was the
victim of every inning In which the
Colts secured two or more hits, while
good luck and splendid support saved
Ed Doty until the very last inning.
Tigers' Start Checked.
The Tigers started out to win the
game In the first Inning. Million doubl
ing when Fries played too far In for a
fly, and Gordon scratching out a hit
to McDowell. But at this moment
Neighbors filed to Fries, and a splen
did peg to the plate furnished a double
play, with Lynch grounding out weakly
to retire the side. In the sixth they
bunched three hits, but aKln a double
play, this time with Kibble, McDowell
and Williams involved, placed the
Tigers on the defensive.
On the other hand the Equine hits
were placed to suit the taste of the
most ardent pro-Colt rooter. In the
first inning, with two men out and
Speas on second as the result of his
single and McDowell's forcing of Fries
at the plate. Williams drove the ball
over second, scoring the Cardinal-to-be.
In the third Burch tripled when Mil
lion tried to make a quick pickup of a
single, and scored on Mahoney's sacri
fice fly.
In the sixth, with McDowell and
Williams perched at third and second,
respectively, from two hits and a
sacrifice. Coltrln scored both with a
hit to right. Two men were out at
the time of the Coltrln swat, and like
wise two had retired In seventh, when
Speas doubled and scored on Mc
Dowell's single.
Tacoma Scores at Last.
The Tigers scored their lone run In
the 'ninth inning. McMullin beat out
a grounder to Kibble and took second
on Jack's wild heave to first. Holder
man sent McMullin to third with a
single to right. Connors then hit to
Coltrln. forcing Holderman at second,
but McMullin scored. Crittenden
singled, sending Connors to third, but
was out trying to stretch the hit Into
a double, Speas making a brilliant
line heave from lrft field into Mc
Dowell's glove. Hunt was sent In to
bat for Melkle but fouled out to
Kibble.
The final appearance of Tacoma for.
the season, and the last time the Colts
will play in Portland for three weeks,
will be today when a double header is
billed to open at 2 o'clock. Krause,
the new Tacoma recruit, will pitch onn
of the games, with Belford or Hunt the
other. Eastley will open for Portland,
with Bloomfleld the second heaver.
The Colts have won 10 of 12 games
played with Tacoma on the Tortland
grounds. Should they take two to
day they will duplicate the perform
ance of early in the season when they
took six in seven, and will leave home
with a percentage of .600.
