Howard has been a hard nut to crack in previous en counters and has sent word up north that he is confident of taking the Beavers' number again. The games today and tomorrow will not start un til 3:30 o'clock to allow the circus crowd to get away for the game.

In the meantime Sacramento will be at Oakland and Los Angeles will visit Venice. Figures of Sunday's ball game show that Oakland was not deficient in hit ting, for the team ran up a total of ten hits off Hig and eight in the sec ond game. The 18 hits brought them a total of four runs, while Portland's 19 bingles amassed no less than ten. The reason for the difference lies In the difference between the swats. Portland has more long-distance clouters than any other team. Kores and Lober alone have a pretty good record between them. Ty has nine triples, 20 doubles and ten home runs to his credit, while the Dutchman numbers 25 doubles, five triples and four home runs among his swats. Davis, Speas, Rodgers, Derrick and Ryan are all long-distance hitters. On the Oakland team Zacher and Ness are the only two who could be considered In the light of long-distance clouters. and in Sunday's games neither of the two got a single hit. Turning to the Seals, we find a trio of handy swatsmiths in Schaller, Downs and Howard, while Los An geles' best are Wolter, Maggcrt and Rube Ellis. Venice has Bayless, Kane, Elliott and Borton, while Sacramento is nearly as bad off as the Oaks, wit.i only Moran and Coy. Injuries to players Is still a factor to be dealt with by the Portland mag nates. Bill Speas hobbled to the plate Sunday as a pinch hitter, but Hi West had to run for him. Ryan Is still out of the game and Fred Derrick is not yet right, though he may get into the game again this week. While Hi can circle the bases all right as a pinch runner, his trusty arm is still sore. While both the Judge and Walter are as silent as the grave with regard to the question of the Cleveland trans fers and the future of Pape, the prob ability is that Pape will not last out the season with the Beavers. Septem ber 1 Is the last day for the magnates to make up their decision, but in the meantime the oracle, prophesies that Pape will go. "Times in baseball are none too a-ood." was the only enigmatic reply that could be obtained from Judge Mc Credle on the question. The prediction Is based on the smile that followed the remark. was beaten, the tournament probably will lose its international flavor. Two matches were played on the grandstand court during the day. The usual gaily-dressed crowd saw L C. Wright, of Boston, who holds the South ern championship, defeat W. M. Hall, of New York, in a four-set match in the morning, while in the afternoon Wil liam M. Johnston, of San Francisco, dis posed of C. M. Bull, Jr., of Brooklyn, in a three-set contest on the same court. The afternoon crowd also saw Cham pion McLoughlin in a three-set contest with F. J. Strudy. Jr., of New York, during which the title holder showed no disposition to be lenient with his opponent. The heat was so great that two play ers defaulted in the middle of their matches. A third player, A. M. Kidder, of Princeton, sprained his ankle during his contest with L Beekman, of New York. The doubles championship contest will hold the grand court tomorrow, when M. E. McLoughlin. of San Fran cisco, and Thomas C. Bundy, of Los Angeles, will meet Dean Mathey, of Cranford, N. J., and G. M. Church, of New York. The champions were the favorites in the betting tonight. GIS F1S-HKK HOLDS HIS OWN" Bayer Catcher Retains Batting Hon ors and Club Also Tops List. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 24. In the rate for batting honors of the Pacific Coast League, the tables this week show that Gus Fisher, the Beaver catcher, held his own against Del How ard, the Seal's manager, by the slender margin of one point, which is Just what he did the week before. They now stand: Fisher .353. Howard .352. They stood then: Fisher .344, Howard .343. The Beavers' successful campaign last week against the lowly Oaks is reflected in the club batting averages, which again return the- Portland club at the top. with a percentage of .278, against .270 for Venice. Although San Francisco Is within a point of second place in the games score, her clug bat ting average for the week was the weakest of the league. Vnlc, with .253, was a bar point better, just as she led by one point for second place. In club fielding, on the other hand, the tables show It exactly turn and turn about. At the bottom of the bat ting averages Venice and San Fran cisco tcp the fielding column with .967 and .93 respectively. Club fielding doesn't seem to amount to much In the general results, however, for Oakland, the tall-ender. Is only a point behind San Francisco and heads Portland, the league leader, by three points. The same men continues to stand out far In front week after week in heavy hitting and base running. Rodg ers. of Portland, with 62 stolen bases Is so far in front that there Is no sec ond, and Lober, of Portland, and Bay less. of Venice, are the two heaviest sluggers. ;.::- has nine home runs and Bay less eight, but Bayless is credited with 17 three-baggers, while Lober hasn't enough to get Into the summaries. Neoither man's general batting aver age Is anything to boast of. Lober stands at .266 and Bayless at .288. QUALIFYING SCORE IS LOW Fivsmoor, III., Woman Wins Medal in Western Championship.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17. Albert Rejall secretary to Charities Commissioner Kingsbury, is the hero of the Municipal building. Armed with a club and an empty milk bottle, all alone and single handed, he subdued and captured a mouse and rescued from their chairs and desk tops the charities depart ment's force of fair stenographers. Rejall used the club to defend himself and subdue the mouse and the milk bottle as a receptacle into which to drive it. , .' A shrill and distinctly feminine scream emanating from Mr. Kings bury's office was the first intimation Rejall had that his services were needed. Commissioner Kingsbury was not in at the time. Dashing from his office into that of the commissioner, Rejall spied Miss Anna Lohman, the commissioner's con fidential secretary-, ensconced on top oi her desk. When he appeared she screamed some more. Club and Bottle Weapons. Rejall didn't see anything of the mouse, but he knew from the signs that there was a mouse about, so he armed himself with the club and milk bottle before going any further. His idea was to get the mouse into the bottle, but the mouse did not ap prove of the idea and scurried into the next room, where several stenographers were rattling away at their type writers. Result more feminine screams and more scrambling on top of furni ture, the latter move being much ham pered by the prevailing fashion of nar row skirts. Finally, however, the secretary cor nered the mouse and got it into the bottle. Then all the stenographers climbed down and consented to breathe normally again. Their relief was of short duration, however. Only One Foot Kept on Floor. The news came back shortly that the bottle in which Mr. Rejall had incar cerated the mouse had been upset and that it was at large again. It did not reappear, but the stenographers con tinued their day's work intermittently and with only one foot on the floor. As has been said, Rejall was hailed as a hero for rescuing them from the mouse, but as time wore on several questions arose in the stenographers' mom. If Reiall had really wanted to rescue them, why had he not dispatched the mouse instead of rescuing it, tney Inquired. Furthermore, how had a mouse got all the way up to the tenth floor of a mouseproof, fireproof building? Grad ually a tendency developed to view Rejall with suspicion instead of admi ration, but he wore a iook oi injureu innocence.

As a result Boston dropped half a game behind New York for the lead in the National League, New York's game at St. Louis having been post poned because of wet grounds. Incidentally the Cubs crept close to the heels of the leaders, and their ad herents again are rooting for them to win the pennant.

It was anonunced today, declined to sanction the deal by which Mordecal Brown, his predecessor, as manager, would come to the local Fed eral League clug In exchange for Bren nnan and Fisk, or McGuire, pitchers of fered by Manager Tinker.

The present situ ation offers great temptations to gather in whatever kinds of rubber are available. The supply of the finer grades from South America, Island of Ceylon and other sources has been practically shut off. Only the London and New York markets are now open. In these markets are large accumulations of "rejected stocks" and "off lots." With such temptation to "take a chance" facing tire manufacturers, we think it Umeiy to remind car owners of this fixed Firestone Policy Under no conditions will the extra fine grade of rubber in Firestone Tires be lowered; and under no conditions will the extra volume of this fine rubber be reduced. flrc$tone Non-Stfid and qnSmAfi J. 11 Smooth Tread have won the confidence of the world by fifteen years of match less performance, and you may be sure that nothing will induce Firestone builders to trifle with that record and reputation. Remember that Firestone Tires are the tires that have never known an "ofT season. There never has been a "bad lot" of Firestone Tires. There never will be. We would rather suspend manufacture than sacrifice quality. Keep the cost per mile in mind and you'll demand Firestone Tires Most Miles per Dollar It is no time to "experiment" Your dealer has Firestones, or when the temptation to use cheap can get them at once!

HIGH TEETH WAR HORROR Hostilities Send Price of False Molars Rising. BROOKLYN. Aug. 20. One of the ef fects of the terrible war is that false teeth are to cost more, with the possi bility that the real false article will be impossible to procure. The chief ingredients entering into the composition of false teeth come from Europe and none of them are be ing received in this country on ac count of the eagerness of the belliger ents for war prizes at sea. Ameri can dentists depend on Europe for a goodly portion of their supplies, Includ ing dental drugs, according to Dr. Charles Nathan, of 717 Fulton street, who explains how the war will affect his profession. "The price of false teeth to the den tist will increase, because we are de pendent on Germany for the porcelain that enters Into their manufacture." he said. "The supply maintained In this country is insignificant. We also ob tain from Siberia the platinum for the manufacture of pins utilized in attach ing teeth to the plates. "Many of the supplies used by American dentists come from Germany. The best drills come from the German Instrument makers, and the supply on hand in this country now is very low. A large dealer in dental supplies told me yesterday there were probably not more than 1000 of these drills in stock here. Formerly practically all nf the dental instruments used in the United States came from Germany but in re cent years our own manufacturers have developed so well that they are supplying an ever-increasing propor tion of our requirements. "The location of American dental products manufacturers are in Penn sylvania and Ohio, where are situated several factories. Contrary to popular belief, false teeth are mado of mineral substances. In the manufacture of por celain teeth these are mixed in a paste, placed in molds and baked at a tem perature varying from 2500 to 3600 degrees Fahrenheit.
