Howard s Seals today will throw out
their advance guard on the Vaughn
treet battleground in an attempt to
feel the strength of the victorious and
unchecked Beavers. 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.
Howard seems to be basing his hopes
mainly on Fanning, whose wing is
once more in good shape, as Is evi
denced by his victory last week over
Happy's hope. Klepfer. when he was
Invincible in the pinches.
Southpaw Hub Pernoll is almost cer
... ; . v. tk nnt.'- ' nifcher for the
visitors. with probably Portsider
Krause on the mound for Walter.
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

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.

Milk Bottle Used by Official at First
Hailed as Hero, Later Looked
on With Suspicion Who
Turned It Loose?
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.

An unusual athletic feat was recently
accomplished at Putney, England, when
Walter Brickett, a well-known profes
sional swimming coach, ran, walked,
rowed, cycled and swam a mile, his time
for the combined five miles being 45
minutes, 19 1-5 seconds. Brickett, who
Is 49 years old, undertook to accomplish
the task in one hour.
The walk was first undertaken, and
Brickett covered a measured mile In
10:13. The mile run was made in 5:39.
Only 36 seconds elapsed and he had
mounted his cycle and rode the mile in
3:55. Entering his waiting boat he suc

then came the swim. Brickett made
splendid progress all the way, and when
he left the water It was found that he
was 14 minutes, 40 4-5 seconds ahead of
the hour.
The nearest approach to this feat In
American athletics Is the record of 15
minutes, 42 seconds, made by L. de B.

Choose Tires
More Carefully
THE TIE-UP of navigation has had a tremendous
effect upon the rubber industry. 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.

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

never has been a "bad lot" of
Firestone Tires. There never will
be. We would rather suspend
manufacture than sacrifice

It is no time to "experiment" Your dealer has Firestones, or
when the temptation to use cheap can get them at once! Be sure
rubber is twice as strong as usual, you get them.

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. A high degree
of the glazier's skill Is required in
their manufacture. Most of the experts
engaged in the industry in tills country
come from the glass and pottery dis
tricts in the north of England. Many
of these experts come from families
whose members have been glaziers for
generations."
Dr. Nathan said there was a strong
likelihood that American dental equip
ment manufacturers would benefit as a
result of the war by gaining the busi
ness hitherto done here by their for
eign competitors.
