Sacr
tvvith about aa much nomp and fuss as
Attends a cremation. Portland raised Its
Mil pennant yesterday ana inciueuif
ty won a victory over the Vernon
jeague leaders, 8 to 7. Tho day was the
bnttt of the season and the five

aits for two hours and 15 minutes, un-

f single to center, scoring Krueger with
Ihe winning run.
J The game was remarkable in several
Aspects and served to prove the oft
teDeated assertion that Happy Hogan's
Jshters are not dead ones until tne
ll-.lrd man is out In the ninth Inning.
Yesterday Harkness had them lapping
jrom his palm for seven innings, tne
tore standing 7 to 2. and then he euc-

i Veraoa Ties Score.
L Higglnbotham was rushed to the
rescue and successfully bridged the
jighth-inning chasm, but Vernon came
fcack in the ninth and tied the score,
i to 7, on a double by Bayless. a triple
by Agnew his third hit and a poor
ihj-ow by Bancroft.
j Krueger, as first man for the Bea-
nr In the ninth, shoved his foot In
front of a slow bail and" bluffed his
way to first, from whence he made the
dltcuit on two sacrinces ana xtapps
ilitrd drive to centerfleld. Four thou
sand fans then rushed for bathtubs.
;. Carson began for Vernon, but was
jerked after one bad inning, when sin
gles by Doane and Rodgers and Chad
Ixturne's triple tallied two runs.
Southpaw Raleigh relieved him and
Ms hit-hard for five Innings, retiring
if favor of Gray in the seventh, with
tne score to against him. - Gray
finished strong, but the combination in
the ninth, topped off by Rapps' single,
tut a dent in his winning percentage.
Hits Cons .la Hordes. --
Slsteen hits, was the Vernon record
or .the blistering affray 15 for Port
land.' Poane. Rodgers, Rapps and
Ainew secured three hits apiece, while
Kruegr secured a triple, two walks
and a life on a dead balL
Hogan's lineup was practically the
same as he showed on his last appear
ance here. Johnny Kane being the lone
exception, but McCredie had a couple
of kinks In his battle array.
Bancroft appeared at his old hole at
short, where he cut off two runs by
spectacular fielding, and Chadbourne
went back to left field. Chadbourne
secured one hit a triple and Ban
croft one a double though brisk
work by Hosp robbed him of a hit tn
the first Inning.
The pennant-raising festivities
proved pretty much of a "frost," If
such a thing is possible with the mer
cury at the -SS station. No frantic
cheering, no ripple of excitement, no
brass band signalized the flaunting of
the coveted banner In fact, not a half
dozen fans in the stand had their eyes
focused fiagpolewards as the ground
keeper took his halt hitch on history.
Hoajaaj Wants So Doable-Header.
Hogan has demurred against a double-header
Sunday, on the alibt that
his team is crippled, so two double
headers will have to be played on the
occasion of the final Vernon appear
ance In Portland next August. Vernon
will likely use Hitt today against S li
ter. The Vernons did not arrive In Port
land until o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, having been held up behind -a
freight wreck near- Grants Pass for 10
or 12 hours.

Notes of the Game.
Harkness will likely be given credit for
the victory when President Baum reviews
tha box score. He worked valiantly for
aeven innings and should not have been ex
pected to pitch more than half the game.
Rodgers sent. Chadbourne In with his first
hit In the first inning and himself scored
on his other two singles, each time errors
by the opposition helping him around.
Homer Jamleson. former University of
Oregon- star.- -worked- eut tn a Vernon suit.
Hogan says he doesn't expect to take the
seuthpaw home with him. .as he has a sur
plus of . portaiders now. Jamteaon pitched a
part of a game for Seattle recently after
the State League broke up.
- Burrell was kicked out of the game In
the ninth inning for disputing a first base
decision with Umplne' Casey. - i
Carlisle's home run excited comment in
the- grandstand and prese box. President
McCredie -maintained that the "ball went

evenly divided.

OLD RACE HORSE WINS PURSE
Esther W., Until This Tear In
'Brush' Trots, Wins at Kalamazoo.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, July-17. Esther
W.. a 9-year-old mare which until this
year had been seen only on the half
mile "brush" tracks of Ohio and Penn
sylvania, won the rich $1000 paper
mill stake for 2:11 trotters, in a
thrilling race today on the grand cir
cuit. The mare was sold last year for
17500.
Baden made a poor showing. Esther
W. lost only one heat Bergen, driven
by Geera, made a remarkable dash on
the home stretch, winning the first heat
with Marigold, Oakdale and the Wan
derer all racing home ahead of
Esther W.
In the second heat Oakdale followed
Esther W. by a length under the wire.
Esther W. had no difficulty in taking
the third heat, but the fourth proved
to be one of the closest contests of
the day. Esther W. was leading the
field at the half mile, Oakdale, Miss
Archdale and Baden closely following.
Noses apart, the four came down the
home stretch until Baden broke, throw
ing the field apart and leaving Esther
W. nearly a length in the lead.
Although Beth Clark was the favorite
in the 2:22 pace, she was defeated by
Warner Hall In the five heats. In tho
second heat Beth Clark was driven a
mile in 2:05, the fastest time made on
the Kalamazoo track this season.

Suspended Aviators Would Revolu
tionize Status of Sport.
LOS ANGELES. July 17. As a result
of the suspension of eight licensed
aviators by the Aero Club of America
because of their alleged participation in
an unsanctioned meet at Boston, steps
were taken here today for the forma
tion of a new club, which. It was
stated, would revolutionize the flying
game in America.
The aviators suspended were: Glenn
H. Martin, Lincoln Beachey, C. K.
Hamilton, Farnum Fish, Paul Peck,
holder of the American endurance
record; P. W. Page, Arch Freeman and
T. J. Terrill.
It was said these men had asked the
Los Angeles Athletic Club to take the
initiative in controlling aviation and
settle the status of flying as a sport,
tn the hope that other athletic clubs
of the country would follow suit.

SPOKANE, July ' 17. (Special.)
Twenty-seven ball players, including
seven pitchers, scrambled through two
and a quarter hours of ball playing .at
Recreation Park this afternoon before
Spokane finally emerged the winner, 7
to 5.
The game started like another walk
away and three straight for Portland,
Williams' men shoving five runs over
in the third inning. - largely through
Cadreau's poor fielding, two singles,' a
long double by McDowell and a squeeze
play being the direct contributing lac
tors in the run-getting. But the In
dians kept steadily at it. Tonneson's
laziness resulted in his ejection in the
fourth, after he had wild-pitched home
the Indians' first run.
Veasey was wild and he gave way to
Eastley. after walking the first two
up in the seventh. Eastley could not
find the plate and walked two, forcing
one over. A sacrifice fly countea an
other.
Johnson was stupidly thrown out at
the plate on Devoght's short fly that
McDowell could not aulte reach, mas
lng two out, with runners on second
and third. Having used up every avail
able batter In uniform. Ostdlek had to
let Paul Strand bat. It was lucky for
Spokane that this was the case. . for
Strand ripped one through Eastley too
hot to handle and the two winning runs
came over.
Another for good measure came in
the eighth on Melchlor's double and
Powell's single. It was a weird game.
After earnlna- the credit for the victory,
Ostdlek removed Strand in the eighth
on the bov's first Bign or weaKness,
hurling Noyes, the fourth pitcher to be
used during the melee, into the breach.
Noyes fanned three of the five bats
men that faced him.
Cochrane looked' So good in the three
innings be worked that Ostdlek will
nrobablv call upon him tomorrow. Wil
liams will have to choose between Doty,
who worke Monday, and Tonneson,
who pitched only three innings today.

RIVERS SIGNS ARTICLES
M'CAREY SAYS WOLGAST WILL
FIGHT ON LABOR DAY. '
Lightweight Champion Says He Will
Do Anything to Get Mexican In
Ring Despite Poor Health.
LOS ANGELES, July 17. j,Wolgast
and .-Rivers will-meet at the Vernon
arena on Labor day," said Tom. Mc
Carey, manager of the Pacific Athletic
Club tonight,' "in their second bout for
the lightweight championship. Rivers
signed articles today and Wolgast will
sign tomorrow. All details of the bat
tle were arranged with the exception of
the selection of a referee.
"Wolgast will get a guarantee of 116,-
000 and Rivers, who received 27500 for
his last battle, will receive $8000 win,
lose or draw. The. referee -will be se
lected later. It Is pretty sure that he
will be a Los Angeles man."
Earlier today It was announced by
McCarey that the outlook for a second
meeting was not favorable. Wolgast
said he needed a rest and would go to
Oregon for a hunting trip, and later
to his home at Cadillac, Mich.
Manager Joe Levy, for Rivers,, bear
ing these reports, immediately .sought
out McCarey and affixed his signature
to the articles calling for. a Labor day
battle. Rivers did likewise.
"We will fight Wolgast at any time
or place," said Levy.. "What we want
Is a fight and will accept any kind. of
terms to get it. We won before "and
will win again. I have signed the
articles and now it Is up to Wolgast."
Wolgast said today he would do any
thing in his power to get Rivers Into
the ring again, despite the . fact that
he knew his condition was not more
than 60 per cent of what It was before
his operation for appendicitis. . "No
matter what my condition Is," he said,

BUTLER LEAVES CITY
Rumor Is Shortstop Is Turned
Back to Cleveland.
BUTCHER NOT IN UNIFORM
Nap Outfielder May Play No, More
With Beavers Krueger Makes
His 100th Hit When He Slams
Ball Against Big Sign.
Willis Butler, shortstop secured by
Portland from Toledo, has been turned
back to the Cleveland Club, according
to a well-founded rumor In baseball
circles last night. Butler did not ap
pear in uniform yesterday, Bancroft go
ing back to his accustomed place in
the infield.
Another Beaver who failed to dress
for Wednesday's opening game with
Vernon was Hank Butcher, the stocky
outfielder sent out by Cleveland a fort-
night ago.' Butcher Is having some
trouble over his salary and may not
again appear In a local uniform.
"We have . offered him as much as
our boys are getting aiyi that's all he
will get," declared President Mcureaie.
Butcher Insists that it's quits for him.
Supporting the rumor that Butler has
been turned adrift is the authentic In
formation from Manager McCredie, him
self, that Butler left Wednesday night
for Los Angeles, presumbly for the bed
side' of a sick uncle.
McCredie was reticent when ques
tloned about Butler's disposal,, saying
that he could get along without him
now that Bancroft is back in shape.
Butler has been hitting the ball at a
terrific pace, his average to date be
ing: .299. but in fielding he is inferior to
his younger rival. His departure leaves
the Beavers without an infield utility
man.
- a a
Artie Krueger is the first Portland
batsman to reach the 100 hit marK, ana
curious enough. It was his hundreth
swat that netted him the $50 for hit-
tins: an advertising sign in right cen
ter field. Krueger also hit the 250
sign last season. His batting average
thus far In the campaign is .ill.
-Krueger has always been regarded
as a' wonderful hitter. During his last
season with Oakland in 1906 he banged
the leather at; a .316 clip in 211 games,
hit well with Cincinnati and in 1909 at
Columbus, in the American Assocla
tion, he hit for .324 up to the final
three weeks, hanging up the league
record of 195 hits that Fall. In 1910
with Portland he led the Pacific Coast
League and was a .280 slugger last
season.
Krueger is playing great ball for the
Beavers. He is not a grandstand per
former, but is one of the wisest and
brainiest men in the league. '
.
Referring to his pennant teams dur
ing his seven years in the Pacific
Coast League, Walter McCredie yester
day characterized' the championship
club of 1906 as the strongest ever put
forth in the circuit.
"We did not go into the lead until
after July 4, but we clinched the
-championship soon after," said he, as
he watched the 1911 emblem mount to
the top- of the centerfleld flagpole. "I
had a grand bunch of players In Me
Hale, Donohue, Sweeny, McLean and
others that year. We could hit the ball
awful hard. - .---.:'
''As-for my 1910 and-1911- teams, both
won the titles in.tha.last two or three
weeks away from home.-The 1910 club
was the weakest-hitting . club I. ever-
had, but the pitching of Gregg) Krapp,
Steen and others held us up. We beat
Oakland that Fall."
Umpire Perle. Casey, whs was a
member -of the 1910. bunch, disagrees
with McCredie and vouchsafes his opin
ion that the Olson-Gregg-Krapp club
of 191C had any ol Mccredle's prede
cessors faded..
. "But when you talk of ball clubs,'
said Casey, "that Tacoma champion
ship grabbing team of 1905 was the
most formidable ever assembled In the
West. We had Hogan and Graham
catching. Overall, Keefe, Brown, Fits
geral-i, Emerson, pitching, Nordyke on
first, myself second, Egan short and
Sheehan on third, and In the outfield
Doyle, McLoughlin and Mike Lynch." .

Fielder Jones, president of the North
western League, returned Monday
from a short trip to Tacoma, where he
saw the Tiger-Vancouver game of Sun
day.
Jones is satisfied with conditions
around the circuit, and hoots at the
Idea that . Watklns, the new Tacoma
owner, is likely to throw up the sponge
now that his pennant .possibility has
degenerated into a hopeless case.
"Watklns has nerve, and plenty of it.
and while Tacoma Is not supporting
the team with the brand of ball the
Tigers are putting up, you'll find him
at the helm at the finish."
While Seattle -lost Bill James, their
premier moundman, for 10 days when
he sprained an ankle in practice, Dug-
dale strengthened his twirling staff for
the Vancouver series by trading Mc-
Mullin and a player secured from the
defunct Washington State League, to
Tacoma for Gordon, the Tiger heaver.
Fielder Jones says Perle Casey's um
piring is as good as any he has seen
this season, and styles the work of
the ex-Portland player a grand.','
BILLIARD CHAMPION VISITOR
Bert Cutler,'. Now on Empress Cir
cuit, Talks of Old Days. .
Bert Cutler, ex-amateur and profes
sional 18.2 balk line billiard, champion.
is a Portland visitor this week. Cutler
is giving an exhibition-monologue at
the Empress Theater, xeaturlng his act
with 14 fancy shots.
- "This vaudeville game Is not condu
cive to the best billiards," declares the
one-time title-holder. "I have a new
table every week, while the lights are
different on each stage. The combina
tion makes the most difficult cushion
work tough propositions..
"Balk line billiards is on the. decline, '
is .the observation of Cutler. "The
three-cushion game 1b taking many of
the. men from, the more scientific field.
and instead of a number of youngsters
growing up to take the place of the
Schaeffers, Hoppes and Ives, the game
has nothing but old talent.
. "None of the present billlardists com
pare with Jake Schaeffer and Ives.
Hopps is on the decline, judging irom
his work of the past few months, while
none of the other men in the top-
notch division can compare - with the
old-timers."1
Cutler held the amateur 18.2 title in
1900. and defeated-Jake Schaeffer at
Philadelphia four years ago for the
18.2 professional crown. He lost tt a
year later to Willie Hoppe at New
York, uauer was irr x-orxiana two sea
sons -aero with -Demarest and Cline in
a- vaudeville act.. He is- 37 years old
and has been playing billiards for 20
years, two of which are charged to
vaudeville.
