BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
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:

Notes of the Game.
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.
Chadbourne played first base like- a

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."

SPOKANE. Wash.. Aug. 13. (Spe
clal.) 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. The score:

CUBS MAY WIN PENNANT, SAYS
EVANGELIST FAN.
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

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

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.
