LOS ANGELES. Aug. 5. (Special.)
The Beavers hopped onto Koestner in
the seventh inning today, took the lead
for the first time, ana then held it to
the end, winning the second game. 6
t0Up to that particular time it looked
as if by some chance or mischance the
Tigers might win a game, but it was
not to be. Sucn a muis u" -throw
us in a worse state of excite
ment than war-stricken Europe could
ever find herself.
The real sensation of the game was
McCredie's calmness. He knew all
along that he was going to win. and
when the seventh hopped in sight and
out again, he never batted an eye. In
fact, he acted just like a man naving
another pennant thrust upon him much
against his will.
At the end of the fourth it was - to
1 for Venioe. the Tigers having got to
Martinonl for two singles and a triple,
the same, with a couple of bad heaves,
being good for two runs. Portland
made its first count in the fourth
on Rodgers' walk. Korea' single and
Speas' long fly.
They let the game struggle along
this way until the seventh, when Speas
singled with one down. Lober made
first when McArdle tried to get Speas
at second on Ty's infield tap, but all
hands were safe. Fisher flew out after
trying to hit the bail out of the lot.
Ryan, however, used more judgment
and singled, scoring Speas. and then
retired to let Rieger run for him. Ban
croft's only hit of the day came right
here and Lober trotted in. Doane had
one on him when Bancroft started for
econd. Elliott shot the ball down to
Leard. but Banny suddenly stopped
and Rieger. shewing signs of life at
third, made Leard's throw to first slow.
To the surprise of all. Bancroft didn t
try to get back, but hung on between
the bags, waiting for Rieger to score.
Then nearly the whole Tiger tribe
tried to trap him. and the upshot of
It was he passed second. Rieger scored
and Bancroft was caught at third. It
was a fine example of how to run bases
when vou are lucky enough to get
away with it. The Tigers' third run
was made off Rieger In the eighth and
to make It certain Speas and Fisher
singled in the ninth, the former scor
ing on Rieger-s long fly to Meloan

DEER HUNTERS WATCHED
SPECIAL DEPUTY WARDENS ARE
ON DUTY IN HILLS.
Game Reported Plentiful In Table
Rock Vicinity by Officers
Recently Returned.
Deputy Game Wardens Frank E. Ir
vin and E. H. Clark returned to Port
land Tuesday after having passed the
week previous to the opening of the
deer season in the Table Rock coun
try, in the extreme southern part of
Clackamas County. Deputies Ben Pat
ten and Amos Ames, both of Clackamas
County, remained in the country and
they probably will stay there until af
ter the deer season closes.
The deputies were there previous to
the opening in order to prevent peo
ple from allowing dogs to chase the
deer and they report conditions good.
Extra men were sent to the territory
yesterday and they will remain in the
Table Rock country all season.
The men were sent in as hunters, so
that other hunters in the valley will
not be able to recognize them as of
ficers. The deputies found game plentiful
and a good season is expected. Several
parties were passed on the return trip
to Portland.
Deputy Warden Irvln will leave to
day with E. S. Cattron for Molalla.
where a new rod and gun club will be
organized tomorrow evening. A large
portion of Clackamas County is inter
ested in the proposed body.
One hundred and seventy-five 10-gal-lon
cans of Eastern brook and rainbow
trout will be taken on the Fish and
Game Commission car tomorrow to be
distributed near Molalla. T. J. Craig
is In charge of the fish car on its pres
ent tour.
C. H. Evans, State Game Warden,
says he believes it is better to organ
ize rod and gun clubs to educate the
public rather than teach them by ar
rest. Nerw and extensive plans for the
protection and propagation of game
are being made.
PAPE AND BRENECAN DRIFT IN
Ex-Buffalo Hurler Is Likely to Bo
Transferred Back.
Selmer Brenegan nd Larry Pape,
members of the Portland Coast League
club, drifted into the city Tuesday to
rest up until the team returns from
Los Angeles next Tuesday afternoon.
Brenegan has been somewhat under
the weather and as Mack had Fisher
and Yantz to do the backstopping he
did not figure Brenegan a necessity
this week against Venice.
As to Pane, the ex-Buffalo hurler
likely will be transferred back to Buf
falo immediately upon the return of
W. W. McCredie from a beach sojourn
at Newport. Twice the option on Pape
has been extended and now that Lush
has joined the Beavers it seems certain
the final payment of J500 will never be
made.

SI. LOUIS' CHANGES
SLIM, SAYS CHRISTY
Huggins, However, Gets Credit
for Work, After Having
Been Discredited.
TEAM IS NOW AT ITS BEST
Probability of Detroit or Chicago
Winning American League Pen
nant Believed Lessened by
Mack's Athletics.
BY CHRISTY MATHEWSG.N.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. (Special.)
While the Cubs and Giants ire
fighting for National League su
premacy, Miller Huggins has come
thi-ough with the prophecy that the
SL Louis club wiii oe in first place in
a month. He figures on the two teams
which are leading now wearing each
other out, and then he looks to spurt
when they crack. Said Huggins as
the Giants were leaving St. Louis on
their last trip, following the three de
feats out of four he handed the New
York club:
"None of us expedted to win the
pennant until after this series. Now
I believe we are going to come
through, and so do the players on my
club. This series has put heart Into
the whole team, and it looks as if we
had a better machine right now than
any other in the league."
Huggins certainly deserves great
credit for what he has done with the
St. Louis team this year, but I dpn't
believe he has a chance to come
through to the pennant for two rea
sons. He has not the reserve strength
he will need unless he is very lucky
in the matter of injuries, and his club
has many youngsters who are liable
to crack if the team gets out in front
and is forced to undergo the strain of
setting the pace.
Last year Huggins was discredited
as a manager by the owners of the St.
Louis club and the newspapers of SL
Louis, which were clamoring for his
release. He encountered many dissen
sions among his players, some of whom
refused to try to do their best for
him because they found fault with his
style of managing. One of the star
pitchers complained that Huggins
wanted to tell him from second base
what kind of a ball to throw every
batter that faced him when he was
working in the box. Huggins was
slated to be removed and the owners
wanted to sell the club, when Miller
prevailed upon them to keep him an
other season and to let him put over
the big trade with Pittsburg, which
cleared his team of the klckerB and
trouble-makers.
Manv exDerts proclaimed Huggins
as crazy after he made the oeal and
declared that he hd destroyed the
remnant of a ball club which had been
left in St. Louis. Huggins made a
very good reply to this. He allowed
that he could finish as well with the
collection he had acquired from I'ltts
burg as with the one he had already
managed. The tables have been turned.
The Pirates, with a high-salaried club,
are floundering around at the bottom
of the second division, while Huggins.
with a small payroll, as many as any
in the big league In this year of high
salaries, is fighting for the lead. The
club owners are making money, and
St Louis is tickled to death.
The American League ruce looks to
be about in. Detroit and Chicago,
the two clubs that were bidding for
the lead with the Athletics, have been
pushed back by the wonderful spurt
of Mack's club, combined with their
own crumbling. As I have said before,
there might have been a different
aspect to the American League race
now if Cobb had been in the game
regularly.
The Boston Red Sox still have a
look-in, but their big chance lay in the
superiority of their pitching staff over
that of the Athletics. However, after
"Joe" Wood had hit his stride for a
short time, he again had to go back
to the bench with a sore arm, and this
seriously hurt the Red Sox chances.
The addition of Gregg to the Boston
staff gives the club the best set of
pitchers in the American League when
they are all right, Gregg was dissat
isfied in Cleveland, and this was partly
responsible for the trade of the left
hander. However, it is going to re
milrp nn awful slump of the Athletics
and a wonderful spurt on the part of
Boston to get the latter ciuu up into
the real running.
