DAVIS RESIGNS FROM NAPS
Joe Birmingham Temporarily Ap
pointed Manager.
CLEVELAND, Sept. S. Harry H.
Davis resigned today as manager of
the Cleveland American League team.
Outfielder Joe Birmingham was ap
pointed to fill his place temporarily.
The team's poor showing and the fact
that he has been subjected to severe
criticism by the public and press are
given as Darts' reasons for resigning.
Davis came to the Cleveland Club
last Spring after many years of serv
ice with the Falladelphla Americans
as first baseman and captain. He suc
ceeded George Stovall. present man
ager of the St. Louis American League
team.
For a time this season the Cleveland
team did fairly well, but later it be
gan to lose. On the recent Eastern trip
tt lost IS of 17 games. Davis' contract
was for but one year. He has not an
nounced his further Intentions.
Joe Birmingham, who assumes
charge of the team, is one of its vet
erans. Training School Gets New Manager.
CENTR ALIA. Wash.. Sept. !. (Spe
cial.) F. W. Rader. who has managed
the farm at the State Training School

- Nick Williams' Colts. Portland's
Northwestern League club, which
proved a big factor In the pennant
struggle for half a season and now
occupies a position wifhin striking dis
tance of . the .600 percentage mark,
will open the final home stand of the
1912 season against Vancouver today.
Six games are scheduled between the
clubs, but this number is likely to be
increased to eight on account of the
recent Northern postponements. The
playing of eight games will necessitate
double-headers ou Saturday and Sun
day. Herb Byram, the 1911 Sacramento
pitching star, will be one of Bob
Browns mound recruits to make a
debut in Portland, while Charley
Srhmutz, who formerly wore a Tacoma
uniform, is another new slabster with
the champions.
Van cou vers . pennant - winning
chances were reduced somewhat dur
ing the past two weeks, and It lwll
take nothing more than a drubbing by
Portland to eliminate tie ln cham
pions from the running. The Colts
broke even on the first six games
played with Vancouver, and Nick Wil
liams is confident that Ms men can
take the Portland series. However,
Brown's men took the first series in
Portland, four games in seven.
Following the Vancouver series the
Colts will close the season In Portland
with an eight-game tussle with Spo
kane. Then comes two weeks more on
the road before the final game at Seat
tle on September 59.

Schedule Week September 3-9.
Portland at Sacramento (seven g-ames),
Vernon at Oakland teicht ramesl.
San Francisco at Los . Angeles (nine
games)
. BY KOSCOE FAWCETT.
-"There are a dozen good reasons why
Los Angeles will not long remain glued
to first place. Among them are: Kane,
Bayless, Carlisle, Brashear,. HItt, Bur-
rlll, Hosp, Brown and a couple of oth
ers." .. .
With this parting shot at the day's
peregrination of the Coast League per
centage column whereby Vernon re
ceded to second place, Happy Hogan
Tiger leader, left Portland aboard the
Shasta Limited last night disgusted
with the weather man. Five games
of the scheduled 10 were prevented by
rain.
"If we remained here long we'd
wake up to find ourselves below Sacra
mento," quoth Happicus, "not because
the team isn't the best in tha league,
but because Pluvius will not permit
us to play."
Beavers Start South.
The Portland Beavers also quitted
town last night for a two weeks' cir
cuit In California, playing first at Sacra
mento for a week beginning tomorrow.
and then at Oakland. The Beavers were
unable to get reservations on the same
train with the Tigers so laid over until
midnight.
All of the regulars except Kibble and
Lindsay - accompanied Manager Mc-
Credie. Kibble received his transporta
tion from the Naps and will depart to
day for Cleveland, while Lindsay has
determined to try the mountains for
a tonic instead of returning to North
Carolina. Bill believes that a siege
in the higher altitude will do him a
world of good and hopes to rejoin Mc
Credle upon his return, September 17,
against the Angels.
McCredle packed an extra uniform
along, for he expects Baker, the Cleve
land youngster, to attach himself to
the caravan at Sacramento. In the
meantime. Hank Butcher will hold
down third and -this will permit Bill
Rapps to return to his old first-station
stamping grounds.
Sharpe Mac's Choice.
' "After seeing the Angels and Ver
non in action here within two weeks
of each other, which team looks the
best to you?
This query was propounded to Mc
Credle at the ball park yesterday, as
the teams stood around watching the
rain play on the grassy infield.
"Still a toss-up," was Mac's laconic re
ply. And then, as he thought of a
week hence. Walt added quickly: "Yes,
but don't forget Oakland. I'm like Bill
Reidy. I think Sharpe Is to be first
or second in this race yet."
Vernon's displacement from tho
league leadership after an occupancy
of more than three months apparently
hasn't shaken Hogan's confidence in
his striped bunch. '
"My pitchers are going swell and
when Hosp returns my club will be In
fine trim for the final spurt," declared
Happy.
The five postponements this week
will not be played off, as Vernon does
not appear In Portland again this Fall.
Vernon won three of the five games.
Hogan expects to take five of the eight
this week from Oakland.
Resignation lie Surprise.
Harry Davis' resignation from the
Cleveland American management yes
terday came somewhat sooner than ex
pected, but everybody knew It was due
within another two months anyway.
Davis has been a dire and dreary dis
appointment. Had the Philadelphia
Athletics not grabbed a couple .of
world's championships In a row, Davis
would likely never have been thought
of as Nap manager. But, being touted
as the author of most of the inside
stuff pulled by the Athletics, It was
only natural that Somers or some club
owner saw in him managerial timber.
Mack's consistent boosting had just
one effect and that was to obsess
Cleveland fans with the idea that Davis
was the one and only Moses to lead
rhem out of the wilderness.' And what
a botch! Davis began by trading
Stovall. one of the best nrst-sacKers in
the league, and closed the book by de
livering himself of a bitter public ex
coriation of Jiis players Individually
and collectively. -

St. Lonls Stopa Johnson.
Fnndom mourned when .. St. Louts
broke up Walter Johnson's remarkable
trlnr of 18 straight victories for the
Washington Americans by beating him
on four hits last Wednesday, ji now
develops that this same St. Louis club
put a crimp in his pedigree two days
previously, when It relieved Hughes
with the score a tie and a man on
second base. This man toted in the
winning run, but despite the fact that
Walter was in no wise to blame for
him helnir there. President Ban John
son, his superior namesake, ruled that
the defeat be, charged to him.
Oe.dltlnz pitchers has always oeen
like wrestling with a rebus. There's
little of system to it. Ban Johnson's
latest ruling, however, is entirely at
variance with the system in vogue in
both leagues for years. Harry Pull
lam, former president of the National
League. . always maintained that play
ers on the bases when a relief pitcher
goes in should be charged to the man
responsible tor putting mem mits.
Secretary Heydler. of the National
League, has always recognized this
same interpretation, which seems-Just
and fair. ...
The American League executive s De
cision, as It develops, did not affect
Johnson's chances for breaking Mar
quard's string of 19 victories, for he
got bumped -squarely enough two days
later, but it's a sure thing there would
have been some tall panning for Byron

"LEADER" and
Get good standard loads when you buy shotshells and
you'll be sure to get results. Such well-known and
tried shells as "Leader" and "Repeater" will always
give you satisfaction. They are strongly constructed
and uniformly loaded with only standard brands of
powder, shot and wadding. Their unequalled
trap record shows they are hard-hitting and give
exceptionally good pattern. Such qualities are
desirable for bird shooting. Note the corru
gation on the head. This is a good feature
not found on other shells, as it is patented.
It allows for expansion and stops the head
from pulling off. Sold by dealers everywhere.;

Practice Sunday.

dates for Captain Vote
May Be Taken Soon.
Stealing a march on tbe various col
lege rivals, the Multnomah Athletic
Club officially will usher in the Fall
football campaign next Sunday morn
ing, when the first practice of the
season will be held on the winged "M"
field. Manager Pratt has sent out a
call to the candidates for 10:30 o'clock.
While the election of a captain may
be postponed until later In the week,
If there is a good turnout on hand
Sunday that question may be decided
then. To date only three of last year's
stars are being mentioned Quarter
back Rinetiart, who led the victorious
1911 squad, End Calllcrate and Full
back Hurlburt.
Stars Will Be In Lineup.
Attorney Hurlburt has been engaged
to coach the Portland Academy eleven,
so will be in perfect trim this Fall. He
was one of the brilliant performers last
Fall, while Calllcrate, an old Notre
Dame graduate, shone out above all
other wing men In the Northwest. The
latter Is at Hood River on a ranch at
present, but Is expected in Portland
soon to coach the Columbia University
eleven. Rlnehart proved a wonderful
leader in 1911.
The Multnomah team should be ex
ceptionally formidable this Fall. Prac
ticaly all the old guard will be back
and several ' new luminaries are ex
pected to don the moeskins. Notable
among these will be Vincent Borleske.
the plunging Whitman back, who will
coach Lincoln High, succeeding Rlne
hart, and "Sap" Latourette, ex-University
of Oregon quarterback, who would
undoubtedly have been labelled the
greatest field general In the conference
last season had he been with a winning
aggregation.
Earl Cobb, another exceedingly clever
Oregon quarter, also will be a candidate
for1 the backfield. He has picked up 15
pounds this Summer, and now tips the
beam at 170 pounds. Gib Montague,
one of the veterans of several seasons
ago, has been importuned to display
his prowess again, and may show up
for a try at one of the' extremities.
. Corbett Is Wanted by Club.
Elton Kelly, lex-Oregon "Aggie" back
field man, is another who will likely
don the crimson and white, while club
mates of Hamilton Corbett, the fa
mous Harvard star, are dogging his
footsteps In an endeavor to get him to
essay the "come-back" role.
If one-half the backfield material
ises that Manager Pratt hopes
for, the array will read like an All
American roster. Dudley Clarke and
Halfback Wolff likely will both turn
out. although the former says he is

The several college aquads will get
down to business within the next fort
night. With the Portland high schools
opening about the same time, the thud
of the pigskin will soon be a familiar
sound where the crack of the bat has
ruled supreme all Summer.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIANS are tout,
lng Fran Tosp, the clever Vernon
lnflelder, as the best all-around player
in the league and entitled to the auto

Johnny Kane, Berger, Howard and Het

mentioned.

Los Angeles has signed Charley Mc
Cafferty, tho old Detroit pitcher, to ba
used as "finish up" pitcher. This gives
Berry probably the largest pitching
staff in captivity, with nine men on the
roll Chech, Slagle, Leverenz, Halla,
Tozer, Marks, Vernon and Perritt. Mc
Cafferty's sole duty will be to do relief
work. The instant one of the regulars
flies the distress signal in will Jump

mour a series in Los Angeles.
Most fight fans believe Ad Wolgast
Is making a grievous mistake in taking
on Packey McFarland at his weight
terms in a 10-round bout in New York.
Wolgast has agreed to let the Chi-
cagoan weight 135 at 3 o'clock, which'
virtually means 140 at ringside.

Jack Sheridan, dean of American
League umpires, quit the other day
when assigned to Washington. He re
fused to work In the capital, but will
be worked in at other cities presumably,
for Sheridan has a wonderful stand-in
with the Johnson powers.
