BY ROSCOB FAWCBTT.
Strain la beginning tc tell on the
Oaks. What causes the strain is the
procedure of asking: the boss for the
fortnightly pay check.
Before 5800 bappy-faced fans Oakland
succeeded in dropping a double-header
to the Portland perpetual pennant win
ners yesterday, but only after a hard
struggle.
The scores were 7 to 2 and 3 to 2.
In the first game Klawitter was taken
off the kopje in the fifth Inning, after
yielding H lusty swats. Bancroft
tarred, with a home run over the right
wall, a double and a single. He got his
homer as first man up in the first in
ning, and it seemed to point the way.
Higginbotham pitched steady ball and
kept his hits well scattered.
The second matinee convinced every
body that the forts at Liege were not
copied after the Oakland infield. South
paw Abies twirled a grand game, in
spite of his game leg. but Menges and
Guest tossed it into the discard.
Oaks Get Ana) With Two-Run Lead.
Christian's cohorts got away to a
two-run lead off Pape. ' The Beavers
tied this in the sixth, and won in the
seventh on Yantz" single, following a
boot by Shortstop Guest.
Speas batted for Pape In the sixth
with the bases loaded, and it was on his
grounder that Menges let Guest's throw
elude him and allowed two runs to
score. This was Abies' only bad inning.
Harry walked Davis and threw later to
second on Yantz' bunt. Or at least Um
pire Guthrie called the play that way.
Abies then fell down trying to field
Mi'.J's bunt, filling the bases, and the
stage was set for the introduction of
Pinch Hitter Speas.
Marftnont twirled the last three in
nings for the bellicose Beavers and re
ceived the credit for winning.
Walt McCredie tried out a young
phenom outfielder, Ltnd. late of the
Baker team of the Western Tri-State
League, and Lind gave a good account
of himself. He is a Portland boy.
Other incidents of the fray were Ban
croft's sensational fielding and Rube
Gardner's batting. The Oakland south
paw flrst-sacker finished with a perfect
bat average. In the 7-2 game he scored
three hits and received a life on a dead
ball. Two hits, a sacrifice and a walk
protruded from the 3-2 box score.
Mlddleton Boosts Average.
Mlddleton also boosted his average
with four hits in the bargain bill. He
doubled Bancroft at first base by a
dandy throw In the closing session.
Davis saved the day early in this
game by a great catch of Hetling's
liner. It came at an opportune time,
for Guest's single had just scored two
Oakland runs, and he was waiting on
second for a timely shove.
The series ended five games for Port
land and two for Oakland. San Fran
cisco opens here Tuesday. Scores:

NIGHT GOLF PLAYED
Game Played at Gearhart by
Artificial Light.
LOW SCORES RECORDED
Turnbull Wins Seven-Hole Match
From R. C. F. Astbnry, Jordan
Zan and F. E. Whitney, but 5
Holes Are Halved by All.
GEARHART, Or., Aug. 23. (Spe
cial.) The first midnight golf game on
record in this part of the country was
played here last night when four Wa
verly Country Club stars negotiated
seven holes of the Gearhart liifks In
scores which were hut little above
liogey. The only luminant was that
furnished by the headlights of George
W. Kleiser's automobile.
Only one ball was lost and that a
beautiful drive by R. C. F. Astbury
right down the stream of light from"
the auto's lamps.
George Turnbull, Waverly profes
ional, won the match, which was for
best ball. He rounded the seven holes
in 32, his record for the nine being 31.
The other players in the midnight
foursomes were R. C. F. Astbury, Jor
dan Zan and K F. Whitney. Turnbull
won the first hole by a stroke and all
the others were halved.
The match was played immediately
after a big dance in the hotel parlors
and was the result of an argument
over illuminated golf.
All started with short drives, pro
viding against stroke penalty lor loss
of ball.
Zan drove one out about 150 yaras,
in direct line with the first hole. Turn
bull won the first hole with a perfect
approach. The other three made tne
hole in six each.
The second was halved, all tne way
around in five strokes, so was tne
third in four.
While midnight golfing probably
never will become popular with any
one except the manufacturers of golf
balls, it was an uncanny fact that some
of the players did better approaching
than they usually do by day.
One example was tne worn oi n. v-.
F. Astbury. who made a couple of won
derful 40-foot approaches.

VICTORIA MUST LET MEN GO
Los Angeles Will Exercise Options
on Players Sent North.
VICTORIA, B. C Aug. 23. The Los
Angeles management has notified the
Victoria clyb that it will exerci66 its
options on Harry Hoffman and Jacinto
del Calvo, these players to remain witn
the Bees until the end of the North
western League season.
The Victoria club tried to purchase
the releases of this pair of youngsters,
but the Coast Leaguers would not con
sider such a move, and now comes the
announcement that they will recall
them. Hoffman is a grand catcher,
while Calvo's hitting and fielding mark
him as one of the best outfielders in
the Northwestern League. The Victoria
Club will -also lose Joe Wilholt, the
leading hitter in this League, who re
turns to the Venice Club at the finish
of the season. The Bees have been
promised Wilhoit next year, should he
fail to stick in the Coast League.
Owner Kingham will put in drafts
for several of the leading twirlers of
the Western Canada and Union Asso
ciation Clubs, and he is also after Out
fielder Huelsman, of Salt Lake City,
and another Infielder who has shown
remarkable hitting ability in the same
League. The addition of Chapman to
the Victoria staff means that one of
the present squad will be let go. Han
son has shown a tendency to wildness,
but he will be held for next year. A
deal is now pending for Bobby Steele,
the Victoria southpaw, zut he is the
only local player likely to go up this
season.

waltzed over to Spokane the other day
and there gave out a statement that
Washington State College always
played Washington in Seattle because
Bender was out after the big money.
Perhaps so, but that does not explain
why Washington refused to schedule a
football game with Idaho at Moscow,
although Idaho offered a bigger con
tract than was offered for a Seattle
game. Nor does it explain why no game
was signed with the Oregon Aggies for
Albany until long after the meeting,
and then only when it became evident
that the aggies could not be bulldozed
into going to Seattle again.
It will be interesting to see if Dobie
is willing to play Washington State

Excepting Philadelphia Athletics,
Every American and National
CInb Strengthens One or
More Departments.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23 The baseball
season of 1914, already noted as a pe
riod of unusual occurrences in the Na
tional sport, promises to establish a
record for the purchase and exchange
of players In the big Leagues. Omitting
entirely any reference to the sensa
linnal trades and nurchases which pre
ceded the opening of the pennant races,
the present season has been an excep
tional one. With the exception of the
world's champion. Philadelphia Ath
letics, every club in both the American
and National Leagues has made un
usual efforts toward strengthening one
or more departments by means of ex
change or cash transactions. Not alone
have the minor associations been In
vaded, for big League clubs have dealt
wltlt each other to an extent greater
than has been the case In other years.
In the American League, prominent
among the men procured by Boston, are
Egan, Shore and Ruth, from the Balti
more club of the International; Hoblit
zel. from Cincinnati; Vean Gregg, from
Cleveland, and several minor League
and college players.
Comlskry Sets Record.
The Chicago White Sox have signed
or released an even dozen players, not
Including Hal Chase, who Jumped to
the Buffalo Federals. The dealing,
however, has been confined to the mi
nor and college class, although Comis
key holds the present season record in
his purchase of Fielder Felch, from
Milwaukee, of the American Associa
tion, at $12,000 cash and two players.
The New York Americans have pur
chased, exchanged or released 18
players since April 14. Some of the big
League mnterinl procured Includes
Catcher Nunamaker, from Poston
Americans; Pitcher Carroll Brown,
from the Athletlos. in addition to Birdie
Cree, from the Baltimore Interna
tionals. Cleveland is another club which has
dipped deeply into the players' mart.
Close to 20 players have been bought,
sold, exchanged or lost by desertion
this season. A majority of these trans
actions Involved minor League, the
principal major League deal being with
the Boston Americans, whereby Pitcher
Vean Gregg went to the Red Sox. in
exchange for Pitcher Coumbea, and
Johnson and Catcher Ben Egan.
Detroit Deals Few.
Aside from the purchase of the two
minor League players and the release
of Catcher; Gibson, the Detroit club has
tAnil nat to date and the same may
be said of Clarke Griffith's Washington
combination. The capital club pur
chased Outfielder Mike Mitchell, from
the Pittsburg Nationals, releasee, rucn
ers Collier and Cashion and procured J.
E. Blair, from the Mnrtinsburg. West
Virginia, club.
The St. Louis Browns released two
players and purchased one for future
delivery.

League club record shows that
close to 30 players have figured In one

Congressman's Demand fur llnllmad
Land Grant Enforrrmrnt, t for
frlturr, l ooms In Supreme ourt.
I n I I i i i 1
A vicious editorial attack upon
anneard In Saturday's Oregonlan.
me
It
accused me of being a mere interloper
In the land grant suit, and of having
accomplished nothing therein.
The truth is that I started the liti
gation when 1 filed the tost case of
John L. Snyder, September 1, 1907. It
was a year later, September 4, 1903,
before the Government reluctantly "In
tervened" In the suits that 1 had besTun,
and filed Its claim of forfeiture.
Lafferly Demands Knforerment.
The case is now soon to be argued
and decided In the Supreme Court, after
a seven years' bitter fight. Three the
ories are to be presented. My dvMii.ni1!
for enforcement of the law to the let
ter, the Governments demand for a
forfeiture and the railroad's claim to
tho land.
The railroad wants the Issue In tho
Supreme Court to be "forfeiture or
nothing." If the court be limited to
that harsh remedy It will probably let
the railroad keep tho land.
From tnu start the Government pro
ceedings have been of the most halting
and dilatory character. And the spe
cial assistants to the Attorney General
have fought my enforcement theory
quite as vigorously as has the rail
road. If 1 can be eliminated It will
leave the Issue Just as tho railroad
wants It. and It. will win.
lnblle Warned Against Forfeiture
llooe.
I warn the public now that thero
was never a chance to secure a for
feiture in this case. No ons knows
that better than the railroad. Hut If
the enforcement theory shall be prop
erly presented to the Supreme Court,
it is certain that the railroad will bu
required to live up to the law in Hie
sale of the remalnlug lands.
The test suits which I filed for '
settlers In advance uf the Government n
Inter ention. were brought upon the
theory that the law means Just what
it sas. I am confident the Supreme
Court will hold with me, provided I
shall not bo repudiated and hamsttuiiK
by my own district before the case Is
reached.
Receivers to Sell to Settlers.
If a decree of enforcement be en
tered, receivers will be appointed to
take charge of the lands and sell them
according to the terms of the granting
acts. These terms are that sales shall
be made to actual settlers only. In
quantities not greater than a quarter
section, and for prices not exceeding
$2.60 per aero. Tha receivers would
formulate rules, and would doubtless
provide for a drawing system. They
might also sell the more valuable lands
in tracts of 40 acres.
Two million three hundred thousand
acres are involved. This body of land
would furnish 160-are homes for 1$,
060 families, or 40-acre homes tor 80,
000 famllioa. The lands embrace the
most fertile and picturesque portion of
Western Oregon. Water power Is
present to run trolley lines into every
township, if ened up. this area will
become the paradise of America.
Less than 100 settlers are on the land
riniv n nnrtlon of tha (3 for whom I
filed tho test cases without fee are
sticking It out. A few have remained
in the face of every discouragement,
chief of which has been the wet blanket
the Department of Justice has contin
ually thrown upon the enforcement
theory.
Law Means What It Says.
The thousands of applications that
have been filed for these lands by non
settlers amount to nothing. TnVse ap
plicants have been swindled. The law
says the lands must be sold to "actual
settlers." not to "non-settlers."
I argued this case for three diys be
fore Judge Wolverton. I wrote every
word of pages (40 to (73 of the record.
I appeared and argued the case In San
Francisco, urging haste above all
things, and 1 filed a printed brief of
my argument. Previously, on heplem
ber 30. 1914. I had Introduced a bill In
Congress (H. U. 1703) directing I"t4l Han
Francisco court to certify i .e caso to
the Supreme Court at once, without d.
clsion, in order to expedite final deter
mination. The court did exactly what
1 wanted done.

It is also complained that I am ab
sent from Washington, and that I am
running for re-election. I admit both
of these charges, and I expect to be
elected by the largest majority 1 have
ever received. No crowd of profes
sional politicians, and apodal Interest
men, need put fake advertisements in
the papers on me, stack the newspapers
. i . m und then exnect me to
dunuiak

secured In that way.
Besides. It does not He in the mouth
