Sacramento was unable to cope with the Portland artillery fire and Its double play propensity yesterday, ami Portland won the second game of the series. Score 6 to 3. Five double plays the Beavers reeled off in llehtning fashion and a freakv one by the Wolves swelled, the Hat to air. which is our louon of . something extraordinary in the killing line. Sailor Stroud for the visitors at tempted to humble tne locals before a large ladies' day crowd, but It wasn't In the cards. Mac's heavy batteries .Bunk him Just as the British fire sunk the German submarine u-la in me re tnt ttiaIka nff the coast of Scotland. Thirteen hits was tne total off the big right-hander as against eight off Southpaw Evans. v.vuniL of course, had the breaks, for everything tne "Wolves whacked against him seemed to gouge Its way Into a double death. As a matter of fact. Umpire Guthrie mulcted one dou ble away from Portland in the third when he called Moran safe at first. It was a close decision, but from all xoints of the stand the fleet-footed nrdtnar looked out by a Step. The Sacs scored one tally In the Initial lnnlno- on Moran's hit. Young's sacrifice and a blow by Tenncnt. but the Beavers came back with a rush in the last of the frame, scored two runs. and were never headed afterwards. Rodgers began the scoring after two were out with a swat tnrougn loung. Cap stole second and Doane brought him home with a single to left. Korea was given a life on a dead bail ana Ryan brought Doane home with a crack to left. Wolverton's crew tied up In the third on a walk and Orr's triple to center, whereupon the scrappy Beavers again rushed back, this time with three runs In the latter balf of the stanza. Bancroft's single. Rodgers' two bag ger and bits by Korea and Ryan turned the trickfl pouring three tallies. Potland scoed its final tally in the sixth on a two-bagge ry -by Davis and Fisher's swat to left. Manager Wolverton threw numerous reinforcements Into the field in the ninth and hits by Lynn and Hannah and Cook's sacrifice fly scored a run. x Rieger likely will work today for Portland against Malarkey. Manager Wolverton announced that be had closed a deal for the sale of Infielder Young to Detroit. No price was announced but It Is understood he gets some cash and a player for next year.

' CHALLENGERS TO FRONT Wilding and Brookes Favorites Over American Team With McLough lln Chief Hope, but Great Game Due From Williams. NEW YORK, Aug. 12. The opening matches In the challenge round of the 13th contest for the Davis tennis cup, emblematic of the world's team cham pionship, will be played at the courts of the West Side Club, Forest Hills, tomorrow afternoon. The Australasian team, consisting tit Norman E. Brookes, Anthony F. Wilding, Stanley W. Doust, A. W. Dunlop, will play in the role of challengers, and the United States team, composed of Maurice E. McLough lln, Norrls Williams II, Thomas C. Bundy and Earl H. Behr, as defenders of the trophy, won from England at Wimbledon last year. The draw for matches will bring together Williams and Wilding In the opening match at singles at 2 P. M. When this contest Is completed. Mo Loughlin and Brookes will take the court for the second singles of the day. Friday- Wilding and Brookes will meet Nthe Americans in the doubles match, and Saturday will see the singles players meeting the opponents that their teammates play tomorrow. The possession of the cup will be de cided by the nation which first wins three of the five matches that com pose the three days" playing pro gramme. , Elaborate preparations have been made for the handling of both players and spectators at the matches. The special stretch of turf which has been reserved for the cup play is In excel lent condition. Temporary stands to accommodate 12,000 spectators have been erected, and all the seats have been sold. Speculation on the outcome of the matches indicates that the challenging team is favored to win the cup donated by Dwight Davis, of St, Louis, In 1900 as an International challenge trophy. McLoughlin Is the chief hope of the American team, but Williams is not unlikely to prove the key that turns to victory or defeat. Tennis experts agree that McLoughlin and Williams, between them, must win three of the four singles matches, since Brookes and Wilding are top-heavy favorites for the doubles. Uncertainty prevails at the 11th hour in United States tennis circles - as to the make-up of the American doubles team. It Is understood that McLoughlin favors the playing of Bundy, who. with himself, holds the National doubles titles. Many tennis experts, however, prefer McLoughlin and Behr. believing that the latter would prove a stronger partner for McLoughlin than Bundy, who has not shown the form this year that has marked his play In previous seasons. . - Unique Golf Shot Recorded. CHICAGO. Aug. 12. While practic ing over the Glenoak golf course to day for the open Invitation tournament which begins there tomorrow and lasts until Friday, Fred McLeod, of the Chevy Chase club, of Washington. D. C, made the 117-yard fifth hole In one shot with mashle. The ball landed within five feet of the cup and rolled In. Players from all over the country, numbering more than 160, are entered In the tournament, which Is a pre liminary of the National open tourna ment to held here nert week. WATTS TO DEOJUID PRIZE FOR AIR RAGE Pilot to Sue, if Necessary, to Get Reward for Rose Festival Event. FIGURES PROVE VICTORY Disqualification Based on Technical ity That Someone Forgot to In form Balloonist of Need to Pay Entrance Fee. John Watts, Kansas City balloonist, does not intend to sit back and allow himself to be robbed of the prize in the Portland Rose Festival balloon races of this year. Watts Intends to bring suit against the Aero Club of America for disqualifying him on a technicality and depriving him of the first prize. v This money at present is In the Mer chants National Bank of Portland, and. according to the Aero Club officials, must be apportioned as follows: Roy Donaldson, first prize; John Berry, sec ond prize; H. E. Honeywell, third prize. The report of William Welch, of the War Department, official of the Chief Signal Officer at Washington, D. .C gives the distances covered by the four balloonlsts as follows: " ; John Watts, Kansas City, 82 miles; Roy F. Donaldson, Springfield, I1L, 43 miles; John Berry, St. Louis, 28 miles; H. E. Honeywell, St. Louis, 19 miles. Entrance Fee Not Paid. Watts, therefore, covered almost twice the distance of his nearest com petitor and endured all the hardships, Including loss of about one-half of his balloon, in the wilds of Linn County; yet, because some officer of the Aero Club failed to notify him of a $50 en trance fee, he is disqualified and robbed of his Justly-earned prize money. It does not seem Just to Watta.- If technicalities must govern Amer ican sports to such a. degree. It might be mentioned here that Donaldson did not get his entry in to Rose Festival headquarters until June 2, one day after entries were supposed to have been closed. . 11 This Is proved by an Investigation of the records on file In the office of Jo seph Rleg, manager of aeronautics for the Festival. It Watts Is to be barred because of a flimsy technicality, Don aldson, too, was Ineligible to compete and the Aero Club must take cog nizance of the fact or stand before the public a discredited organization. Withholding Payment Asked. Mr. Rleg yesterday received the fol lowing letter from George M. Myers; president of the Kansas City Aeao Club, relative to the tangle: "My Dear Mr. Rleg Please withhold the payment of first prize In the Port i -i i.niinAn until tha nresent controversy has been definitely set tled. - "When I was In New York on July 22 I was shocked when I received a telegram from Mr. Watts advising me that the Aero CIUD oi America uu Jected to certifying him as being en- .1.1., a- 41... haoaiiM hfl had UUCU IU ill ov. " not made an entry fee of 150. I was greatly surprised, as the Aero Club never, and does not claim to hswe, no tified tne Kansas City Aero Club that an entry fee. was necessary. t ufA w a 1 1 rioint blank be fore he left If he had received any notice and he said 'No.' " "When I saw Mr Hawley In New vorfc I suggested that perhaps the easiest way out of the dilemma would be to get a letter from the other pilots requesting the Aero CliA to recog nize Mr. Watts as the winner, and Mr. Hawley thought It was a good Idea. Donaldson Changes Attitude. "Upon my return I wrote to the other pilots and received a letter oy return mail from Mr. Donaldson agree ing, tr. ..nnu-T! t va Mr Watts as winner. Three days later I received another letter from him backing- up, which I presume was -ine result oi ms uuex--view .with Mr. Berry and Mr. Honey well. 'ur. novo not honril from AlthAr Honeywell or Berry, although Honey well replied to our letter unaer aais of August 1, saying he would advise later. But I assume his reply will not be favorable, from the fact that a true ' sportsman does not have to think over a matter of tms Kind tor BAvarA ATa "Now Mr. Watts claims, and we think his claim Justified, that if he was not a regular entrant contesting for prizes he should not have been permitted to enter the race. Your association should not have permitted mm to nave en tered, unless you expected to recog nize all his claims in case he won a prize. ' "You must not, under any circum stances, pay out the- first prize - to anybody except Mr. Watts, as he un doubtedly will hold , the Rose Festival responsible." 2 WORLD'S RECORDS GO PETER VOLO, DRIVEN BY TOM MUR PHY, RACE VICTOR.'
