Young Bill Piercey. the 17-year-old phenom from that well-known dot on the California map postmarked Vernon, held Portland to two dinky hits yes terday and pitched the Tigers to a 2-1 victory over Southpaw Johnny Lush. Mack's Beavers didn't have the ghost of a show. If Piercey had owned Bull Run River he wouldn't have let Port land gather dew off the banks In the early morning. He simply speeded them across past the batsmen and had them swinging at the one-legged ones as well as the strikes. Piercey had a little luck, however, because he was helped along by some sharp fielding by Berger and others, but water under the bridge is just as moist as any for purposes of computa tion, and two hits clicked out over the wires last night to the credit of the young flagpole from the south. Only One Run Earned. The only earned run of the game was that scored by Vernon in the second inning. Wllhoit beat out a grounder to short and scored from second on Berger's single to right field. Harry Meek threw past second base nnd presented Portland with Its lone tally in the sixth, and Gus Fisher re ciprocated by heaving the ball over Stumpf's head in the seventh, bringing Rader home with the winning run. Minus these miscues, the score would have been 1-0 in favor of Piercey. Lush allowed eight hits, but twirled excel lently In the pinches. Both Portland hits were registered in the sixth. Ward singled to third, and Lush, failing to bunt, hit into a double play. Lober followed with a single to center, and on his steal Meek threw low and the ball caromed off into left-center. Before Kane and Bayless could trap it Lober was across the plate with a very unusual tying run. Beavera Bunch Errors. Fisher's was not the only error that helped the Vernons to win in the sev enth. With two out Rader beat out an infield tap to short. Stumpf booted Bayless' grounder for what would have been the third out, putting Rader on third, and this paved the way for Fisher's overthrow of second base, letting in the winning tally. Derrick negotiated a sparkling catch of a foul fly off Berger's bludgeon in the sixth. The weather was perfect, but the crowd rather sparse, not more than 1200 being in the stands. Series now stand two for Vernon and one for Portland. Score: Vernon- Portland B B H O A E 5 2 2 3 0 H O A E Rader.3. . Bayless. 1.. Kane.m. . VVilholt.r. Pur'cll,2.. Rlsbers.l. Meek.c. .. Piercey, p.

RED SOX BEATEN IN CLASH WITH TIGERS Detroit, Winning 6-1 in Bitter Fray, Cuts Boston Lead to Game and a Half. COBB HURLS BAT AT MAYS Partisan Feeling Runs High, With Fans Attacking Georgian at the Windup of First Game of Most Crucial Series. BOSTON. Sept. 16. The Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox came to grips today in the first game of the BROKE WORLD'S RECORD. -Photo by Rural Spirit. most critical series of the year between teams in the American League, with the result that Detroit, scoring six runs to Boston's one, narrowed the margin of Red Sox league leadership to one and one-half games. Partisan, feeling ran high during the game. It showed between players of the two teams' when Ty Cobb threw his bat at Pitcher Mays in the eighth in ning, after two balls had passed close to his head. On the next pitch Cobb was struck on the wrist. Again Cobb was the person against whom the feeling was evident when, at the close of the game, he was sur rounded by a bleacher crowd. They pushed the Detroit player, and he shouldered them back while he an swered their gibes. Wads of paper were thrown by the fans. Policemen had difficulty in reaching Cobb's side, but eventually forced & clear space, and, assisted by Detroit and Boston players, escorted him to the clubhouse. The demonstration against Cobb manifested itself every time l.e appeared at the plate, the crowd "boo ing" him each time. The game itself was decided by the strength and speed of Detroit's attack, which sent Foster, the leading Red Sox man, to the bench in the fifth inning. Collins finished that inning and was succeeded by Mays, who allowed two hits. Cobb's impetuous haserunning resulted, in another run after he had been hit in the eighth. Daus3' delivery deceived Boston bat ters, who gained only five hits. The Tiger pitcher was always at the top of his form, and fielded his position as well as he pitched.

OBITUARY VEXES CHIEF Police Head Fails to See Joke When Floral Pieces Arrive. ; PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11. Chief of Police N. S. Lever, of the Abington force, says that he isn't dead. When the Chief read his obituary notice in the Montgomery county papers he waxed indignant, denying that there was any occasion whatsoever for the. public prints to make any such fuss over a perfectly healthy individual. Chief Lever's refusal to be consid ered a fit subject for the obituary col umn, however, came too late to head off floral tributes from friends. While he was reading notices of his demise his home was filling with flowers and condolences. Recently, according to Mr. Lever, he was taken ill and was removed to his home. Reports that he had died reached the Montgomery County papers. The Chief read them. Until every one within telephoning distance called him up to see if he was dead he was amused. Then he issued a statement to the effect that he was alive and. as he said, "on the job" of protecting the residents of Abington. just as he has been for a matter of more than two years.

If necessary details can be amicably arranged for both parties, the Po.-tland Coast Leaguers will play an inter league game at Seattle next Monday afternoon against the Seattle cham pions of the Northwestern League. Walter McCredie received a telegram from D. E. Dugdale. Seattle owner, yes terday, challenging Portland. "I wrote him tonight." said Judge W. W. McCredie later in the evening. "If Dugdale is satisfied with our terms 1 suppose the game will be played. Wt are willing." Originally plans had been made for a game with Spokane, for Spokane was so far out in the lead a few weeks ago tnat Seattle didn t appear to have a chance. Portland beat the Spokane champions in 1910, but this will be the first time a Portland Coaet club has left Portland to play a Northwestern League pennant winner. Inasmuch as the Portland Coasters have not appeared in Seattle since the old outlaw days 10 years ago, the battle should draw a big crowd. Tacoina 15, Vancouver 0. TACOMA. Wash., Sept. 16.

STANFORD SEEKS COMPARISON Offer Made lo Play Rugby and American Games on Same Field. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.. Sept. IS. Stanford students decided today to seek a decision of the relative merits of th Rugby and American football games t.-om the football public. The executive committee of the Associated Students invited the University of Cali fornia football authorities today to participate in a football carnival of both games among Stanford Varsity, the Olympic Club and the University of California.
