Five hundred pounds, more or less, of pitching livestock was backed Into McCredle's chutes at Coast League park yesterday, but nothing could stop the butchering of the sanguinary Los Angeles comers. Although outhlt, they won the first game of the series from Portland to S. Southpaw Suter, Dave Gregg and El mer Koestner collaborated on the game, and, while Gregg Is charged with the defeat, due to an explosion In the seventh inning with the score a tie, Suter had a band in the dolor ous upset. His wildness In the third Inning enabled the Angels to over come a two-run lead. Beavera In Bad War There was enough hitting oh both sides to have won almost any old game. Portland banged out 12 safe ties In the eight frames of Nagle's occupancy. Then Leverenx relieved him. But the fact that Portland has a misfit aggregation In the field seemed to be known in the pitchers' box. Indeed, the Beavers are a sad looking bunch. Rapps was ill yester day and Chadbourne played first; Lindsay is In a San Francisco hospital, - so Butcher continued at third. V Los Angeles Introduced another "white hope" to local fans during the afternoon Core, the big slugger In jured In an automobile accident several weeks ago. Core took Heltmuller's sun Job, and " It was his terrific hitting that turned the tide of battle. Two doubles, a sin gle and two sacrifices tell the story. The second two-bagger was Inserted In the seventh inning and drove in . the two runs that broke up the 3-to-3 draw. Rally Cornea la Eighth. McCredle fought hard for the game. -Harkness and Higginbotham being the ' only men on the bench when he fin I istaed his substitutions. But a three- - run rally In the eighth inning, cul minating in Nagle's retirement, proved the Beavers' capacity. In this stanza Mac changed the dealer and shuffled the pack. He sent Fisher In to bat for Gregg with three ' men on the bags. Dillon thereupon conceived the Idea of substituting a southpaw, Leverenx, against Fisher, a ' heart-side batsman. Mac raised the ante by recalling Fisher and sending Klawitter out. The big pitcher re sponded with a single, scoring two runs, but the game ended 9 to 6 Just the same. So much for that piece of strategy. There might have been a show to make up the one-run lead In the ninth had not the Angels fallen upon Koest ner In the first half tor a single and a double, which, with a wild pitch and a walk, drove In two clinching tallies. The silence then' would have out bushed the emotions of a sphinx. Portland Starts 'Well. Portland started off at a winning gait, securing two runs in the third on hits by Bancroft, Doane, Chad bourne and Fitzgerald. Bancroft, by the way, rapped out three hits In three times up. But Suter spilled the hopes In the fourth inning by filling the bases on hits by Core and Moore and a walk. He then passed Lober, forc ing In a tally, and had two balls on Boles when Gregg was supenaed. Dave walked Boles, adding another, and an Infield grounder made It three runs. The Beavers tied the score In the sixth on hits by Krueger and Butcher and Bancroft's sacrifice, but Gregg's four-run tremor In the seventh was tne final crusher. Butcher secured two hits and a walk and Incidentally Jumped up Into the .300 division. The Angels did not arrive from the south until late. On top of that two hours and 16 minutes elapsed before they finished the nine Innings. The score: " Los Angeles . I Portland Ab.H-FO.A.at.1 Au.ii.ro-A.o HoWd.Sb 6 19 4 llDoane.lt..

Gregg's rout In the seventh was duo to a lapse in memory. Howard as first man up beat out a drive to Chadbourne. Berger tapped to Gregg, who started to throw to first, suddenly rem om be red and turned to head off Howard. His throw was a mile high and both went safe, scoring a moment later on Core's double. This started the cavalcade. Umpires Finney and Wheeler had a hard time mollifying the scrappy visitors on se ersl occasions. Page was banished from the coaching lines la the second for protesting too strenuously against aa alleged balk de livery by Suter. Doane had a busy afternoon In left field.

LllllGlrot. 23 8.130 DILLON SEES FLAG Manager of Los Angeles Says His Team Will Win. VERNON HOODOO DOWNED Veteran Discards All Doubts and Thinks He Will Take Fourth Pennant fop Olty In Ten Years. Stagnates Chat of Game. "Pop" pillon, veteran manager of the Los Angeles Seraphs, has broken his silence. Discarding all "Ifs" and "ands" and "maybes." the grizzled leader came out flat-footed last mgnt and predicted the 1912 pennant for Los Angeles. If he does finish on top It will be the fourth Angel championship In 10 sea sons, for Los Angeles won pennants In 1903, 190S and 1907. "We shattered the Vernon hoodoo last week, and I am positive that we will be In first place within another three series," iterated Dillon. "Hogan has had the pennant sewed up in his owrl mind for two months, but I have the best-balanced club. My catching staff Is rather crippled. Boles is Just recovering from his layoff, Smith was left at home and Brooks Is In none too good condition, but outside of that the sqilad is In pretty good shape." Manager Walt McCredle, of the BeaverB. thinks the race a standoff. He. says the Angels will win If they can keep on walloping Vernon. He believes the Injury to Catcher Mitze has put Oakland out of the running. Pitcher Vernon, a right-hander se cured from the Chicago Cubs, Joined the Angels here yesterday, and was out warming up. Dillon also an nounced the acquisition of two other hurlers who will Join him within a fortnight. These recruits are Marks, a 200-pound right-hander from Bloom ington, of the Three-Eye League, and Parrott, another right-hander, secured from Fort Worth. Parrott had won 22 of 35 games credited to his team at the time of purchase. His losses were six. "Vernon graduated from Amherst College this Spring," explained Man ager Dillon. "He pitched In a portion of one game at Chicago, but naturally was nervous. Henry, now starring at Washington, .caught him for a couple of seasons." Pitchers Chech and Toier did not ar rive with their teammates, both having missed the train, but they are expected in today. Walt McCredle says a Jinx is surely following him this season. He has tried his best to scrape together a winning combination, but Just when things get to running . smoothly, in juries or illness or the lapse of some star, disorganize his combination. "We would have taken the big end of the Seal series with ease but for the Incapacitation of my best hitters, Lind say and Krueger," quoth Walt- "On top of that Klawitter, Doane and Fisher were put on the cripple list. Lindsay was left In San Francisco, but will rejoin the club as soon as . his health improves." Sumpter 6, Hoover Cubs 4. SUM PTE R, Or., Aug. 13. (Special.)

In a game featured by clean, hard hitting and. the wildness of the four pitchers, Spokane took the fast coming Portland Colts Into camp today, 10 to 7. Spokane went into first place as the Champs were defeated by Seattle. Spo kane started the rungetting in the first, Myers opening with a single, Cooney let four go by and both scored on Melchoir's double to right. Spokane was easy for Bloomfield In the second but broke loose again in the third after two were gone and scored two more on three singles and a base on pans. Melchoir Hits Again. Bloomfield eot himself "In bad" in the fifth when with one out he served Poonev with four more wide ones. Melchoir came through with his third successive hit and Cooney landed on third. Cooney scored on a wild pitch. To make matters worse Zimmerman ml a hase on balls and then Glrot was summoned to the rescue. Instead of pulling his team out of the hole he served a straight one over the plate and "Carty" hit It to the right fielo fence for three bases. Altman was next up and after letting one pass drove "Carty" in with a double. The Indians counted one more in the eighth on a single by Cooney and a long double by Toner. Cooney Starts Double Play. Cadreau had the Colts eating out of his hand for the first two innings, but in the third a base on balls and two hits scored two. In the fifth two more ramp across on three singles. After Pnrtlund scored one In the sixth the little Chippewa became unsteady and was relieved by Toner, foruana scorea two more in the sixth but perfect sup port and two fast double plays started by Cooney in the eighth and ninth pulled Toner out of bad holes without more runs.

Major league Star of '85--91, Now Man of the Cloth,' Says Diamond Game Is No Faster Today. "New York had better watch out or it will lose the National League pen nant. If Chicago Is only a few games from the top In the stretch, the Cubs, with their greater reserve strength, will -win the championship." The above is the 'summing up of the National League by Billy Sunday, the famous evangelist-ballplayer, who wit nessed his first game of the season, the Beaver-Angel affair, yesterday. "The Giants were lucky In getting off to a great start with a pitching staff which needed but a rew runs each game to win," continued the major league star of 1885-91. "But they have exhibit ed their best game, while the Cubs are Just rounding into a stride which will take them perilously near the top if they do not win the pennant. I don't figure Pittsburgh in the race, as the team does not seem capable of getting together' and producing its real strength." "How about the playing of today as compared with that of your time?" was one of the usual questions hurled at the evangelist. "No faster now than then," was the answer. "The game may be a trifle more intricate, but we used most of the same plays under different names. As for .the, pitchers, I don t Believe a man ever stepped upon the mound In recent vears with the ability of Amos Rusie, John Clarkson or Charley Radbourne." Sunday has been little on the dia mond since 1891, but has officiated as umpire and played in a number of match games. He was assistant umpire in an American Association game at Toledo last season. When In his prime, as lead-off man and center-fielder for Chicago, Pitts burg and Philadelphia, Sunday was a 14 -second man around the bases and a 10-second performer In the 100-yard dash. As he puts It: "I could do the bases in 14 seconds from a standing start as easy as eating ice cream in August." While he has been away from active diamond duty for 15 years, he Is still an enthusiast of the game, yearly picks an all-American team, and confesses that be reads the sport page of the newspapers before turning to the re ligious or political sections. Sunday' Intends to spend several weeks on his apple orchard near Hood River. He thinks the country Is the best on the Pacific Coast, boosts Port land as the best city west of the Rocky mountains, and Intimates that he may settle here before many years. Maxmeyer Achieves Ambition. "Rube" Maxmeyer, the ex-Portland, Vancouver, La Grande southpaw, finally achieved the distinction of a no-hit, no- run game. Pitching for a plclcup squad the big fellow set the Lents Giants down in one, two three order Sunday, winning 10 to 0. He struck out 12 men. Maxmeyer's team meets Rupert's Rubes next Sunday on the Columbus Club grounds. McMlnnvllle 6, Cornelius 4. M'MINNVILLE. Or.. Aug. 13. (Spe cial.)
