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. Young will finish with the
Wolves. Score:

WORLD'S FIGHT ON
Tennis Battles for Champion
ship Open Today. '
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."
