TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, AUGUST 13, 1915. LIKELY TO FOUR STARS Heilmann, Jones, Corhan and Schmitt Almost Sure to Go to Majors. VOLVERTON'S WOES MANY 3Ianj Gaps to lie ringctl In Team "ext Yrar; Koerner Now Haa feolid IKTth With Angel. Bee Stilt 'Tan" Toman. BT 11ARRT B. SMITH. SAX FRANCISCX). Au(. H.(Sp clil.) Look aa if the San Francisco club wlil Iom four of ita talent thla year, by draft, trad and in other ways. Harry Heilmann. aa Is well known, waa only lent to San Francisco by the Detroit Tigers, and Detroit has an nounced that It will pull tha strlnc at the end of the season. To ret Tiler Cant, tha pitcher. Harry Wolverton had to promise Bobby Jones, tha third sacker. Walter Schmidt slned up for this season only on tha promise that tne San Francisco mnnaaement would find him a lob with some bis; league club for 11C While the same promise haa appar ently not been made to Corhan. the shortstop Is really entitled to a chance If any of the major leaauers are de sirous of his services. To take away that quartet means there will be some boles to fllL and It will keep Wolverton colnc durln tha Winter months to stop up the caps. It looks as if Block Is belnr groomed ' far Vhmldt-i berth, aa the first-string catcher and Louis Sepulveda will drop Into the second spot In that dlrtalon. It will be harder, however, to get together what will practically ba a brand new Infield. Corhan. to our way of thinking. Is the ruling shortstop of tha league this year. He la hitting better than was tha case In 1JM. and his fielding is above reproach. In fact, ha haa done mora than any other one man to put tha Seals where they are IS) inf race iui inw , - With Jonea and Heilmann missing, there will be oth-r problems as well, and perhaps Boas .Iarrya hair will be whiter than It Is at present before he straightens out tha tangle. Rut suffi cient unto the day Is the evil thereof, and Just now It Is a tough enough proposition to keep the club up In the ra-e for honors. Harry Heilmann will be out of the game for at least another week, and perhaps two. so goes tha report. As was announced, he la suffering from a growth In one of hie ears that seems to have affected his nervous system. Heilmann would appear to be ona of the strongest chap In tha game. On the contrary, he is quite subject to minor ailments and haa to watch him self most carefully all the way along, so aa to be sura be la In shape for play ing. e e Fhll Koerner. playing first basa with the Angela. Is one of the league sur prises. rll Joined the Oaka with a big reputation, but ha couldn't seem to catch on with that team. Finally and reluctantly tha club handed him his release. Koerner loafed around for a time and finally, when Ileatty waa out of tha running, he was signed as a hurry-up substitute. Since then Koer ner has been hitting the plil with a bang, and worked hla way rlrht Into tha good graces of the fans, ilore than that, be has earned a permanent berth In the estimation of Frank Dillon, who happens to ba tha boss and tha fellow with tha last word. e e Although the minor leaguera are cheduled to hold their annual meeting la San Francisco nest October, base ball people do not look for a big at tendance. Of course, the officera and soma of the men wbo never miss a ses sion will flock to this city, but it Is surmised that the rank and file will be conspicuous by their absence. For. as you are aware, this has been a lean year In baseball. Soma of the mag natea haven't been able to keep their beads above water, othera have been lucky to stagger along, and none of the cluba have done any good for them selves. Salt Lakers are still talking about Jimmy Toman, whom they can't see as an umpire any way you look at tha matter. It appears that not so long ago Toman was an umpire In the Union Association. Ha wasn't popular as an Indicator man and the fana let him know It. Of course, when thtnga start ed to go wrong with the Bees, and To man was on deck, they blamed him. The playera are Inclined to ba con servative, and while they say that Jimmy Isn't the best umpire In tha world, they admit that hia mistake are usually on a &0-&0 hauls. In other words, the errors of Judgment don't affect the pennant rare to any extent.

On her last voyase from New Tork he changed berth with Captain Green, as he had made one voy- across th Atlantic on th Nebraakan and preferred tha New York-Pacific Coast route. The Nebraskan had reached Europ and was on her way horn when attacked. She is undergoing repairs at an Knglish port. The Nevadan is bringing over 1000 tons from New York, and on her outward voyage will have 2000 tons of flour for Charleston. Inaugurating th 1911 service to the South Carolina harbor. AND THE PACIFIC. t. the year before Is said to hav ban died Immense business. On her last voyage she sailed from San Francisco April 14 and reached the Columbia River at midnight April 18. Her loss Is attributed to tha fact It wag decided to proceed inside at once without waiting for daylight. In tha Marina History of the North- wet. K. W. Wright, now manager of the Port of Portland, wroli concerning the wreck as follows: -The decision waa fatal to the old China liner, and within an hour she had made her last port, grounding on Sand Island, to be leisurely knocked to pieces two daya later. The steamer struck so lightly that few of those aboard knew of the accident at the time, and all were confident of soon being again afloat. Unfortunately, the steamer grounded at nearly nigh tide, and tha next tide was so small that she could not float off. - -Her weight had also severely strained the hull and disarranged the machinery, the Injection pipes break Ing when the sea fell and the feed and bilge pumps also refusing to work, permitting tha water to gam rapidly when the tlda again flooded, and giv ing the rising wavea a full sweep at the house and upper works." The Great Republic was Insured for 130.000 and the cargo for 2.0QO. and tha value, of the freight, amounting to 1051 tons, waa 175.000. The wreck and cargo were sold for $1:80 and 12500. respectively. The vessel continued to break up. and May 1 the entire hull aft of tha walking beam broke away, and for years the walking beam and huge wheels were used as targets by gunners at Fort Canby. Less than a month after the loss of the Great Re public the steamers Oregon and State of California were placed In service. There Is now said to ba 14 feet of water over the wreck, and the placing of day and nightnavlgatlon aids there was principally In the Interest of try lower river fishing fleet. s WEKK-KNDEKS OFF FOR BtlVCII Incline Carries 200 and Potter Fol lows With All Rooms Filled. There were 300 tired cityites to hie themselves toward North Beach on the steamer l'ndlne. leaving Ash-street dock at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and It waa one of the largest crowds yet sent away for Uie week-end trip. The ateamer T. J. Potter, leaving at 10 o'clock last night, bore another capacity load toward tha ocean, and both are sold out for the return from Mexler tonight. J'Captaln" Bud. who directs the fresh water Interesta of tha O.-W. R. & N., saya that weather conditions at the beach this season are all that could be desired and temperatures have been appreciably less than prevailed here during the past two weeks. The Cali fornia attractions have drawn to some extent from tlje beach travel, but it is said the percentage of cottagea open are greater than was expected, and the diminution in travel is among the transient visitors.

LICENSE IS GOAL Woman Asks to Be Examined for Pilots' Ticket. INSPECTOR IS SURPRISED Wife of Steamer Captain Told She - Must Hare Three Years' Deck Experience to Qualify ( for River Papers. . "I want to take examination for second-class pilot's papers," waa tha In troductory remark of an attractive young woman to United States Inspec tor of Hulls Edwards yesterday morn ing. Captain Edwards had expected a re quest to assist a foundling asylum. He was prepared to receive a plea for di rections as to how to reach the nearest excursion steamer. In fact, he might have smiled at almost any sort of an announcement as to the business of the visitor but that she sought to ascend the maritime ladder on her way to se cure a masters ticket. Mrs. Mamie L. Burkholder, of 364 East Thirty-fifth street, whose husband. Cap tain Nathan Burkholder, ia master of the steamer John A- Shaw, of the Ham mond Lumber Company's fleet, waa the applicant. She presented the usual application but because it did not set forth clearly the amount of-experience she had in the deck department, the inspectors in formed her that It" must show three years spent as a deckhand. Determination Not Shaken. Mrs. Burkholder was not In the least deterred from her determination to ob tain papers. "Why, I've been on steamers on this river seven years, and have often stood watch in the pilothouse from two to six hours with, my husband handling th e wheel as would a quartermaster, she said. "This deck experience fea ture is not an insurmountable obstacle. I've handled a small boat since I was a girL and can make lines fast either when a boat ia landing or in picking up a raft. "Of course," she said aa an after thought, "it is not the most desirable vocation for a woman, and at times she appeara ungainly, perhaps; but I was six years on the steamer Lottie with my husband, and for the last seven months we have been on the John A. Shaw. I have shouldered the work of a deckhand many times on our boats. which naturally is different from the labor of a 'roustabout' on the larger boats, such as run In the passenger and freight trade on the river. There ia no question in my mind that I can pasa the examination. In fact. I think I ahould have 'gone up' for a pilot's ticket Instead of a second- class license. There are two women on Puget Sound who have master's papers, and in other parta of the United 'States are women officers on vessels." Navigation Called Easy. Captain and Mrs. Burkholder have been married 11 years. Her life In the open and on the river haa apparently fitted her physically for the Job of han dling a wheel, and she says such re quirements as boxing a compass, giv- ng passing signals, backing and filling. telling the various day and night marks along the Willamette and Columbia are as easy aa operating a chafing dish. ao, tne prospects are that Captain Edwarda will receive another call from this determined woman, wbo aays that a motorboat operator's license or one for any craft under 10 tona is not her desire, for she seeks a ticket the same as any riverman, and Is prepared to put in tne time under salary In order to earn one. Portland has one other woman with a navigator's ticket, Mrs. i Minnie Hill, who, for a time, enjoyed the distinction of being the only steamboat captain of the opposite aex west of the Mis sissippi. She was born at Albany, Or., In 1863, and began her river career with her husband. Captain Charles Hill, aboard the steamer Governor Newell. After obtaining her license she was master of the Newell for a lengthy period, her husband serving as engi neer, but retired from the river a few years ago. FLEET SALE LOSS FELT PACIFIC MAIL LI.MER DISPOSAL CAl'SES SHIPPING STIR. Inability t . Compete . With Oriental Craft Because) of Seamen's Law Rumored aa Cause. New of the sale of five big liners of the Pacific Mall fleet the Man churia. Mongolia. Korea. Siberia and China to the Atlantic Transport Com pany, a move said by Pacific Mail of ficials to be forced owing to the en forcement of the new eeamen's law, which would prevent them from com peting with lines owned by Orientals, created a stir among shipping interests here. Directly the line bore no relation to Portland, though much freight originat ing here has been shipped to San Fran clsco and routed on those steamers to .17 - over-Pacific ports, as well as consign ments drawn from the Far East, which have reached here over the same route. being transhipped within the Golden Gate. The loss,' as Portlanders view it. is principally in the withdrawal of such a large American fleet from the Trans- Pacific trade. The war has stopped the Hamburg-American line, and. while the Royal Mail is operating vessels, its service is Impaired, as far as Port land Is concerned, because of the war. The Great Northern Steamship Com pany, owning. the giant liner Minne sota, running from Puget Sound, has been reported several times of late to contemplate ceasing its service. While the Canadian Pacific, from British Co lumbia ports, is operating under a tem porary and unsatisfactory manner since the war created a demand for its com modious and speedy vessels. - Therefore the Pacific Mall and the Japanese lines have been about the only fleets not affected seriously by tne European disturbance. In fact, the Pacific Mail has enjoyed an enormous gain in trade because of its fine fleet and. position and the Coast is being able to care for cargo in the absence of other, steamers. Portland was connected with the Pa cific Mail before because it gained con trol of the Portland & Asiatic line, owned by the O.-W. R. St N., also the San Francisco & Portland fleet, now known aa the "Big Three," likewise owned by the O.-W. R. & N., while at times steamers of the Pacific Mail's San Francisco-Central American fleet were assigned to the Portland-San Francisco run while tha regular vessels were off, so there ia an interest here other than tha fact that the disposal of the big linera eliminates an American-owned line from the lucrative trade of th Oriental sphere. CALIFORNIA STEAMERS FULL Kilburn Sails, Bear Goes Today and Beaver Is Due. Berths are as scarce on the steamer Bear, sailing this morning for Califor nia ports, as the proverbial hen's teeth, every cabin accommodation' being re served. The Beaver, inbound and due to arrive by early afternoon, has a large traveling list, some being East erners returning from the California exposition centers, and there is a scat tering of Callfornlans who are on vaca tion trips, with many Oregonians com ing home from the Bear State. The Great Northern left Flavel yesterday, and the Northern Pacific is due today, both loaded. The Bteamer F. A. Kilburn, which brought 84 passengers from the south Friday, got away last night with an other large list and all the freight that could be stowed below. The Celllo. of the McCormlck line, was another to go with a capacity list of guests. The Santa Clara la due Wednesday, In the North Pacific fleet, and sails Thurs day for California, making Coos and Humboldt bays en route. XEW YORK CARGO IV HARBOR Grace and American-Hawaiian Lines Have More Carriers on Way. Making her usual good time from the Golden Gate, the Grace steamer Santa Cruz wag an arrival in the harbor late yesterday afternoon, bringing an aver age New York cargo, which she will discharge at municipal dock No. 1. On her outward trip the vessel takes on more than 1000 tons of salmon, and there will.be 600,000 feet of lumber and at least enough general cargo to give her close to 1800 tons underdeck. The Nevadan, of the American-Ha wailan fleet, arrives tomorrow from New York via San Pedro, not having made her usual call at San Francisco. She will be followed by the Ohioan the latter part of the month, and in the Grace service the Navajo will be the next arrival, being due about August 30 from New York.
