v
SPOK AXK. Wash., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) Spokane today again passed up
a chance to take the, lead In this nerve
wracking Northwestern League pen
nant race, succumbing to Portland by
a 5-2 score.
For the rude affront to the hopeful
loyalty of Spokane fans. Manager Will
iams explains that his club also has
designs on the 1912 pennant and from
the manner in which they performed
today there seemes to be some founda
tion for such an ambition. They played
like real champions and. despite the
perseverance and pepper of Spokane,
easily held a strong and safe lead to
the end, snuffing out an incipient rally
In the ninth with merciless execution.
Strmnd In Hammered.
The contest may be said to Illustrate
the difference between good and bad
batting-." Strand had more stuff on
the ball than Steiger. but the Colts
lammed the Spokane southpaw's
slants more viciously and opportunely
than Spokane could reach the laxy lobs
of the Tortland portsider. Portland
connected when a hit meant a run,
but Spokane popped weakly and fanned
ingloriously.
The only fielding miscue was a peg
by Coltrin to head off Paul Strand, try
ing to make third on his long drive to
left center. The ball and runner ar
rived about the same time and the ball
went through Kibble to the players'
bench. Strand scoring.
The fielding was at all other times
clean, sharp and even sensational,
f'ooney kept interrupting Portland's
hatting sprees. Altman cut off a few
hard slams and Zimmerman robbed one
or two Colts of ordinarily safe drives.
Strand cannot blame his support to
day for his defeat. The ratnpaging
Portland sluggers hit everything that
came over and hit hard and far.
Mild Pitch Helps Colin.
They slammed four balls right on the
nose in the first Inning, yet, strangely
enough, would not have scored save
for a wild pitch by Strand. Two bobs
were speedily cashed Into Portland
runs in the second, when Steiger fol
lowed with a hard slam and Kibble's
infield out was such a hard rap that
few shortstops but Cooney would have
got even the man at first base. The
runs In the eighth and ninth came on
consecutive clean hitting. Score:

Chicago Magnate Surprised Bres

CHICAGO. Aug. 12. In a statement
Issued today Charles W. Murphy, presi
dent of the Chicago Club of the Na
tional League, changed that the New
York team would not win the National
League pennant "without undue as
sistance from other teams."
The statement was issued in regard
to a dispatch sent from New York
Saturday, which said that Roger Bres
nahan, manager of the St. Louis club in
the National League, was Interested In
a world's tour planned for the New
York club providing the "Giants" won
the championship. Mr. Murphy said In
part:
"I am surprised to see Bresnahan's
name connected with such an enter
prise. It looked like a simple and
harmless plan to pick up a little easy
money, and so far as I know there had
been no opposition to it.
"But when they incorporate, becom
ing a stock selling possibility and
using the name of such men as Bresna
ham, manager of a team, that can help
us or hurt us a whole lot in the pres
ent pennant race; the matter takes an
entirely different aspect.
"As a matter of fact, the Giants
haven't won the race and I don't think
they will win It, without the undue as
sistance from other teams.
"I want to see the Cardinals play
the game against the Giants and play
it right up to the hilt. I can hardly
believe that Bresnahan would allow
himself to be drawn into a financial
scheme whose success might depend en
tirely on his own team losing and a
rival team winning. It is contrary to
all traditions of baseball.
"The race in the National League
must be run out strictly on Its merits.
Not even a suspicion can be permitted
to creep into the situation right now."
CHARGE READ WITH SURPRISE
New Yorkers Point Out Jlow Cardi

NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Roger Bres
nahan, manager of the St. Louis Na
tionals, had left the city at tbe time
of the arrival of the Chicago dispatel
in which Charles W. Murphy, president
of the Chicago club, was quoted in
criticism of Bresnahan's reported in
terest in a world tour of the New York
Giants and All-American League stars.
Bresnahan's connection with the plan
is said here to be only in a way of
prospective manager of the AU-Ameri-
can team.
In baseball circles Murphy's declara
tion that the New York team would not
win the Natldnal League pennant
"without undue assistance from other
teams" was read with surprise. It was
pointed out that Bresnahan's club had
been playing the fastest kind of ball
against New York, having won five
out of the seven recent games between
the two clubs.
It Is understood here that the world

Los Angeles' breaking of the Vernon
Jinx last week Is significant. Most
Coast League fans have, long since
conceded the pennant to Happy Ho
gan's Tigers, but the odd-game Jolt
handed out by the Seraphs the first
In two years brings forcibly to mind
the fact that the Angels -are only two
and one-half games from the le&d and
coming stronger than any club in the
circuit.
Today Los Angeles begins a week
with the slipping Beavers In Portland.
The game likely will be called at 3:30
P. M. Oakland goes to Vernon. Do
you see the possibility of complications
there?
The Oaks have been a hard nut for
Vernon all season, the victories stand
ing 12 for Hogan and 10 for Sharp, and
as Los Angeles has found Portland
rather easy since that opening week,
when the Angels brought McCredle tof
eanu wim luur viuiuries in si&, iutt.y -
hap Hogan's worries will be further
increased by another Tuesday morn
ing. Oaks Not Far Behind.
On their only other vislthere this
season in June, the Angels took four
of the six contests.
Oakland is only four games from
the lead, too, so this week may see a
closer bunching of the three leaders
than ever. The race in the two sep
arate divisions is surely exciting. It
is certain, though, that the personnel
of the first division will be Vernon,
Los Angeles and Oakland.
Portland. San Francisco and Sacra
mento are hopelessly out of the real
fuss, and local Interest centers only
In the danger of the Beavers slipping
further down to fifth place. Last
week's results were hardly a Teal test
of strength, for the locals are badly
crippled with Krueger and Lindsay,
the star swatsmen, on the cripple list.
But the Seals won five games of the
seven and results are what cottnL The
Portland AA club returns home with
the very sorry record of 10 losses In
14 engagements.
But to return to the Los Angeles
club: This fellow Joe Berger, ex-
Western League shortstop, seems to
have been the key to tne situation
just as Chick Gandil was to the Wash
ington Nationals.
At the start of the season Dillon's
crew looked Just fair, with Page on
second and a recruit in Howard s place
at short.
Lineup la Formidable.
Then Hen Berry hit the wires Snd
drew down Berger as part payment
from the Chicago Americans for
"Flame" Delhi. Immediately the ex
perts began to sit up and take notice.
In the outfield Dillon had Heitmuller,
a- terrific clean-up hitter; Daley, an
all-around star when things are break
ing right, and Lober, a youngster of
promise.
Howard, now captain, is a wonder
on the bags; Metzger holds up his end;
th catching staff was bolstered with
Boles, and two or three pitchers were
added to the string. Dillon then had
a club as good as anything in tne
league, and the placing of Charley
Moore, returned from the Cubs, at first.
should give increased efficiency, for
the former Portland star is a streaa
of lightning alongside of Dillon.
"In my judgment Shortstop-Berger Is
a better man than Peckinpaugh," Walt
McCredle ventured to the writer a lori
night ago. "He Is fully as sensational,
has the same action and can hit the
ball better than Peck. That is one
'.tAnr. where the majors slipped up.
Chicago retained Buck Weaver and let
Berger go- when Berger nau mm
faded."
BergYr Snre to Jo Up.
Berger has been tried out by three
different major league clubs, but has
yet to see a big league ball park. He
is a quiet, unobtrusive fellow, and
because of this the more demonstra
tive, showy players weather the Spring
eliminations, while he falls by the
wuyside. It's a. moral cinch that he
will return to the American League
this Fall. The Sox very likely have a
string on him, anyhow. -
Elmer Koestper's balk, whereby
Portland lost a game to San Feanclsco
last week, has stirred considerable dis
sension down south. Manager Mc
Credle is quoted as saying that Umpire
Hildebrand was wrong, that only the
man on first base should have been
allowed to advance a base.
"Corhan should not have scored from
third," said Walt. "In the American
League there is an Iron-clad rule that
no runner be allowed to score on a
balk."
Although we are ' not, perhaps, fa
miliar with the Inside workings in the
Ban Johnson circuit, that seems a very
peculiar assertion to make. If a
pitcher were allowed to balk with a
runner on third, you would see dozens
of the latter mowed down by false de
liveries. Similar Instance Cited.
The St. Louis Nationals lost a game
to Philadelphia less than 10 days ago
on a balk, Umpire Orth sending a man
in from third when Pitcher Sallee
stopped In the middle of his motion..
In that case, too, there were exten
uating circumstances, for Manager
Bresnahan was headed from the bench
to make a protest on an Infleld-fly
ruling.
An amusing Incident cropped up in
the San Francisco' grandstand the day
after the hard-luck defeat. Oblivious
to the fact that Koestner was seated
directly behind him, Higginbotham, a
teammate, took occasion to comment
on the mixup to a friend in this man
ner: "No smart pitcher would have cone
a thing like that."
Koestner said not a word, but If mo
tion, pictures of his thoughts could
have been obtained it's safe to say
that no accompanying explanations
would have been necessary.
Elmer seems to be having a hard
time of it away from home this sea
son, although he has pitched Just about
as consistently as some of his partners
higher up in the win column.
Fitzgerald Looka Good.
The batting of Butcher and Fitz
gerald has been the one redeeming
feature of the fortnight away from
home. The former seems to have finally
come into his own and promises to
creep up Into the .300 class during
the three weeks' period impending.
This series will likely see him back in
the outfield. Fitzgerald's hitting has
been so hard and timely that Mac can
hardly ditch the youngster. He seems
FOR
WITH
to have picked up a prize prospect In
the college Doy.
Shortstop Delmas, last season with
the Angels, has been trying to get on
with the Beavers, and McCredie pos
sibly may tote him home with him
today. Bert was traded to Oakland
for Flater early in the Spring, but re
fused to report, preferring to captain
the Modesto club. Evidently he has
tired of the "bush."
Higginbotham likely will be chosen
today to oppose Leverenz or Tozer.

BERG NOW IN FINE TRIM
POOR REFEREEING BLAMED
FOR DECISION.
Portland Middleweight Scheduled
for Important Ring Meeting at
Oakland Tomorrow.
I "Berg had no chance to beat Petros
key unless by a knockout," according
to F. M. Hanlin, manager of Otto Berg,
the Portland middleweight boxer, yes
terday on his return from Sacramento,
the scene of the 20-round bout Friday
night.
"We were up against a ease of poor
refereelng, augmented by intimidation.
Berg was first robbed of the fight on
a well-deserved foul and then on the
rounds," continued Hanlin in angry
vein.
"The best that can be said of Billy
Burke, the baseball trainer-umpire, is
that he officiated to the best of his
ability, but that ability was decidedly
mediocre. Ce witnessed the fouling of
Berg in the I4th round, then decided
that Berg was able to continue, despite
the appearance of the lad. Then, after
telling me that he did not give petros
key a chance until the eighth round.
awarded the decision, to the sailor.
"Petroskey's management started a
campaign of intimidation several days
before the fight. Bending anonymous
letters to the promoters warning
against Referee Burke, who- was said
to be favorable to Berg. This, in ltseir.
was likely to cause Burke to favor
Petroskey at every stage of the fight.
but when they imported Jack Welsh
the well-known referee, to act as Pet
roskey's second and slip In a remark
or two to Burke, It looked like an im
possibility for Berg to win.
"Bersr was fouled in the 14th round
after leading all the way to that point.
On that there can be no argument, for
Burke said be saw the blow to the
groin, and every ringslder witnessed
It. But. Burke, backed up by a physi
cian who wanted to see more scrap
ping, sent the men back to the center
of the ring. Berg was weak for sev
eral rounds, but managed to recover
slightly towards the end and had the
better of tbe last round.
"An examination after the fight
showed that Berg had been seriously
hurt in the ring, but l couia not get
a newspaperman in the city to putuisn
statement of the fact, as they all
declared that It would hurt the game.
"As for Burke's ability, he gave the
sixth round to Petroskey when the
sailor was ordered to rest, and the sev
enth to Berg, when Otto was 'laying
off.'
"As for the July bout between the
two practically every writer about the
bay conceded that Berg had a big shade.
So confident were we that Berg would
win the next time that Petroskey was
permitted to enter the ring at 160
pounds, two pounds over the middle
weight limit."
Hanlin left Berg at Oakland and ex
pects to match him soon with Weeks,
the Canadian middleweight, who held
Fritz Holland to a draw recently.
Danny O'Brien, the Portland light
weight, will fight the most Important
battle of his ring career at uaxiana
tomorrow night, meeting Frankle Burns
over the 10-round route.
O'Brien Is training at Oakland under
the eye of Joe Sullivan, his manager.
and Is so confident of the outcome that
he Is already planning bouts with Wil

Th feature event of the card, the
