O'Toole was not a success with the lowly Pirates, so Pitts burg sold him a few day ago to the New York Giants.

SEALS AND OAKLAND DIVIDE San Francisco Shut Out Fourth in Week in Morning Game. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13. San Francisco and Oakland split a double header today, the series being a tie, 4 to 4. In the forenoon, at Oakland, the Seals received their fourth coat of whitewash of the week. Both Lelfleld and Klawitter pitched air-tight ball, each allowing four hits. Costly errors spelled defeat. On this side of the bay, after the noon recess, the Seals took revenge, bombarding Prough with a dozen safeties. The Seals showed plenty of speed on the bases, stealing nine bags.

American Gets Mays. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. The Pacific Coast League is closing its twelfth year, the National League Its thirty-ninth year, the American League Its fifteenth and the Federal League its first. So we have all sorts of longevity and tradition. In our own AA circuit Portland has carved out a remarkable record of achievement. Of 11 past pennant races our sole non-California team has won four championships and bids fair to capture a fifth in the current dash down the pennant turnpike. For the good of baseball on the Pa cific Coast it 'would be better that Portland not win this year's title, Just as baseball would be stimulated in the East by a Boston victory over the New York Giants. But, from the way the Beavers have been plodding through the foe during the past two months no team looks formidable enough to tumble the Mackmen from their proud position on top of the heap. All these Portland championships have been won since Walter McCredte assumed the management years 1906. 1910, 1911 and 1913, with the chances rosy for 1914. Los Angeles has cap tured four pennants, Tacoma one and San Francisco and Oakland one apiece. In the American League Philadelphia has won the gonfalon five times, Chi cago thrice, Boston thrice and Detroit thrice. Cleveland. Washington. New York and St Louis have yet to put a winner in the field. Chicago has hogged 10 pennants in the National Circuit Boston eight, New York seven, Pittsburg four, Brooklyn three. Baltimore three. Providence two and Detroit one. Philadelphia, Cin cinnati and St Louis have yet to land a National bunting. As an interesting sidelight on the race in the Pacific Coast League Harry Carr, of the Los Angeles Times, vouch safes the information that the Venice club is shot to pieces by internal jeal ousy. "We thank Hogan for his mercy shown by removing from our midst the remains of his ball club." Carr fired at Happicus the other day. Hogan is said to pay Jack Bliss a salary about the size of the Kaiser's war chest while "Kowdy" Elliott draws down only a moderate hunk of bullion. Of course, Elliott got wise to the arrangement for ball players al ways tell each other their secrets and Elliott is peeved. Pitcher Smith, too, is in bad in Los Angeles. From the tone of Temarks in the newspapers the former Sox, who remarked in the Spring season that "he would be glad when the Sox left the Coast and went back to the United States," will be back in the "United States" ere another February. Smith was in trouble all Spring with the Chicago management and his fuss with Babe Borton a week ago shows that he has not lost all of his Irasci bility and bad temper. Per the whisperings of the oracle some weeks back, Carl Mays, Port land pitcher, will be found in the American League next season. The Boston Americans purchased the Prov idence Club of the International circuit In August and Mays now has been sold to Boston. Detroit drafted the blonde gabled youth last fall from the Portland Northwest League club for Its Provi dence farm and things then were doped for Mays' entry into big league circles with the Tigers. Our Beavers will be back in our midst Tuesday afternoon, with Venice as the initial morsel. Then will fol low Mission nee Sacramento and Los Angeles for the final glimpse of baseball In Portland for the year. After three weeks at home Portland leaves for the final three weeks in the South. The season closes October 25. Next week will give us our first squint at Harry Wolverton In the role of a Missionary. Wolverton trans ferred his Sacramento Wolves to San Francisco as a second Bayside brig ade about 10 days ago owing to the poor attendance at tne capital city. Just how long this arrangement will stick remains to be seen. Down South some of the writers are harping on a possible transfer of the club to Seattle next year. We do not think the time is ripe for any such move. When Seattle is taken into the fold it will be by an expan sion of the league, with Vancouver and Seattle as the geventh and eighth clubs. Oakland has been clamoring long for Its full schedule of games at home and the Coast League magnates have decided to give the Oak fans a tryout. So, instead cf forcing the Oaks to play most ot their home games in San Francisco, the Missions have been given the open spaces in the Seal schedule and the Oaks shunted back across the bay. This arrangement doubtless will re main in effect for at least another season because of the exposition in 1915. FEDERAL LEAGUE. Chicago 1-7,-Buffalo 0-5. CHICAGO, Sept 13. Chicago tojk sole possession of first place in the Federal League today by winning an other double-header from Buffalo, 1 to 0 and 7 to 5.
