That Pacific Coast League players I are co-operating with their fcastern brethren in the organization of the new protective association and will join the movement as soon as Lawyer I Davy Fultz' plans are formulated, leaked out here yesterday in the rain lull between games of the Portland- Vernon series. Considerable correspondence has I passed between the Kastern organizers I and well-known stars In tne coast AA circuit and investigation here would seem to indicate that the third attempt to unionize baseball is to be a widespread assault against the shackles of bondage. "The players in the Coast League unanimously are In sympathy with Fultz." said Roy Brashear, captain of the Vernon club, in answer to ques tioning. "There are matters concern- I Ing contracts and other phases of our I life that can be bettered It tne men sret together. I have no grievance against the baseball higher-ups, but representation on the National, com mission by the players, it seems to me, would help all concerned. First Attempt Falls. Captain Brashear says the last time I the players attempted to organize. about eight or ten years ago, some-1 body ran off with the money and it I went bump with a sickening thud. Other members of the Portland and Vernon teams expressed advocacy of I tho "union." "We all want to see the players get together as a body. Then we can weild some influence," pointed out Dan llowlov. the old Indianapolis back stop now with Portland. "Great in justiceness are worked on some play . ers who get 'in bad' with the man agers. Of times a man is sent to some punk league simply to gratify the personal animosity of the manager. Players should not be forced to standi for such trafficking and I think a rep resentative on the National commis sion would be an excellent thing." Manager McCredie, of the Beavers, believes organization Is coming, and. speaking from an owner's standpoint, I is of the opinion that it will help the bosses straighten out tangles with the unruly members of the profession.

Sunday and Monday will wipe out two of the four postponements, but the other duct will not be played off except in case of percentage ties at the close or the season, when Baum can order them nlaved down South. Klawitter and Harkness will hurl for Portland today, and Raleigh, lirackenridge or maybe Gray for Ver non. The first game will be called at 1:30 P. M. Heinle Zimmerman, Chicago Cub third sacker, who is leading the Na tional League batsman with .387, can thank tne exciting game oi gam lor much of his success. says Johnny Kane, the Vernon slugger, "Zimmerman was a golf caddy for years." explains Kane. "He carried sticks for Champion W. J. Travis and unconsciously developed a terrific wrist ' snap wnne practicing unves. When he hits the ball now he snaps the bat just as a golfer does hi stick. "Whv. I've seen Zlmmy drive a golf hall 2S5 yards down at West Baden added Kane, who was with the Cubs for a couple of seasons. "Heinle has a wonderful pair of shoulders."

Bill Reidy, manager of the San Francisco team, is so impressed with the commuters that he has oome out with the prediction that Sharpe's men will win the pennant.

Portland fell on Gervais in the first inning of today's game for five hits which netted three runs, and proved more than sufficient to win for the visitors, as Girot held the cham pions safe throughout. By dropping to day's game, while the Indians experi enced little difficulty trimming Victoria, Vancouver was forced down a fewmore pegs in the race, Gervais was relieved by Willis in the third Inning, and from then on both pitchers had the opposing batsmen at their mercy. Mahoney Starts Things. Mahoney opened the first inning avith a single to left and Fries followed Buit. McDowell sacrificed, and when Speas drove a smashing single to center. Ma honey and Fries scored. Cruickshank poked a hit to right, but Speas was held at second. A wild pitch sent both runners up a base. Harris and Speas successfully worked the "squeeze play. Speas scoring and Coltrln proved an easy out. That was the only inning featured by clean hitting and run-getting, al though the remaining frames were crowded with sensational fielding stunts, which brought forth applause time and again. Klppert's work in center was one of the features of the game. On two occasions he robbed the Colts of sure-looking hits, once in the fourth when he grabbed Mahoney's long drive and again in the sixth when he barely got under Girot s drive. F.arly Game on Today.

WE SPECIALIZE RACE MEET IS OFF Dangerous Track Puts an End to Season's Racing. PUBLIC SUPPORT LACKING Holdover t'ntil Next Week Would Conflict With Salem Programme. Oregon Kccordi for 3Iile Track ' Makes Meeting Important. BT JAMES H- CASSELL. The Portland race meeting of 1912 is a matter of turf history. Following the postponement of the Friday pro gramme at the urgent behest of Damo Weather, continued rain and a resultant muddy, dangerous track, brought about a hasty meeting of the promoters last night and the official announcement by Secretary Johnson that the Saturday programme had been abandoned. From present weather indications. racine tomorrow is impossible," said Mr. Johnson. "The only hope for more racing this season would be to hold er for one or two days next ween, but as this would conflict with the Ore gon State Fair dates at Salem, we have decided to call off the meeting." While Portland lost but two days or sensational racing by the unwarranted weather antics of Thursday nlgnt and Friday, the real danger lies In the fu ture of harness racing In this cit'. The 1911 meeting was a failure financially, due largely to inclement weather, and the 1912 programme was siagea Dy a band of enthusiasts who hoped to square 1911 accounts wun a iciuiu week. Instead, tne promoters iost. ap nroximatelv $2000 on the meeting, and t m future of racing in .foruana is not a bright one. Support la Disheartening. Xot onlv rlld the weather conspire, as usual, aeainst the efforts or Air. jonn son and his associates, but the public failed to do its part in insuring tne success nf the meetinsr. Never has 1'on land and seldom the West seen sucn racine- as that of the four-day meeting, vet the attendance, even on tne Des day, was disappointingly small, wnue Mr. Johnson and others reiuse to com ment uDOn the future. It Is apparent that they must be insured of better support II tney are to unofiun mo financing of another speed carnival. Following the postponement or yes terday It was planned to give double-header" today, witn every scheduled harness race and three or four runs, as a fitting finale of a splen- riid week of racing. However, continued rain, making the Country ciud tracK a sea of mud and an extremely dangerous course, was the deciding factor in the deliberations of the promoters. However. the four-day meeting. with the shattering of the Oregon rec ord for the mile trot and record fields of the pick of the Western turf, takes Its nlace at the top ot isiortnwesiern race programmes. The two banner races, the 2:12 trot and 2:08 pace, were stasred as scheduled, but tne cancena tlon of the free-for-all pace probably saved the pace record of 2:04?i from a lnwerinar by Dr. B. P., Bland S., or some other stellar pacer. Hunemti Go to Salem. A number of the horsemen left for Salem Thursday and yesterday, and to morrow morning will witness the mi gration of practically every one of the stables quartered on the Country Club course. The only accident of the week was that sustained by Sim Lindsay, wnen he was thrown from his bike by Red Hal. breaking a leg and thumb, as well as cutting his face. A coliectlon was taken among the horsemen and a sum placed at his disposal to defray a part of the hospital expenses. The harness features canceled are: is trot. 2:08 pace consolation, 2:20 Dace, free-for-all pace, 2:12 trot con solation, and a driving club pace. The two consolations and the rree-Ior-ali pace would undoubtedly have been among the best races of the meeting. In 'addition four runs and a feature mule race were on the programme.

Promot er Coffroth. whose match between "One-Round" Hogan and Willie Ritchie for September 9 fizzled when Ritchie announced that an Injury to his arm would keep him out of the ring. Is still without a card for Admission day. Ills effort to sign Hogan and Frankle Burns, of Oakland, was without result today, owing to his unwillingness to accede to the demand of Ilngan's man ager, Gil Boag, .that a guarantee of $2300 be posted for the San Franciscan. Boag said he would take Hngan to New York for short-distance bouts. Burns, through his representative. Grant Gorman, announced that he Is anxious to meet Hogan, and would al low the one-round celebrity to make his own terms.

At one time he was a tremcnodus drawing card and was cheered every time lie went to the mound. But he has been losing so regularly that the crowd has lost pa tience with the $22,500 wonder. Con sidering what O'Toole has already brought to the gate It is doubtful if Dreyfuss lost money on the record transaction. On tho Coast It has always been supposed that Wolverton signed a two-year contract to manage New York. The New York Mall stated a day or two ago that his contract calls for but one year. but that Owner Frank Farrell was satisfied with his work and had signed hlin up for 191.1. Wolverton has had to contend with a multitude of misfortunes this year but Is gradually building up. Sterrett will heip Catcher Sweeny, McMlllen is fixture at short and Taddock will re main at third.
