Programme at Waverley Calls for
Four-Ball Play Game Boom
ing; at Club as Result of
Recent Contests.
Twenty-six or 27 players of th'e Port
land Golf Club will make the trip to
Kugene on Saturday to participate in
the interclub match with the Eugene
Country Club.
Sam B. Archer, chairman of the han
dicap and tournament committee, made
this announcement yesterday, together
with a tentative list of those who will
make the trip. ""
Among the Portland players who will
go are Rudolph Wilhelm, state golf
champion; Sam B. Archer H. E. Van
Ness, Dr. W. I. Northup, Dr. J. H. Tut
tie, H. H. Pearce, Roscoe Fawcett, H.
I Keats, Dr. Millard Holbrook, Sam
Holbrook, K. K. Baxter, O. H. Becker,
George Anderson, C. F. Carskadden, F.
S. Gray, James Angus,' James Dick, J.
T. Hotchkiss, C. C. Gross, E. M. Burns,
Frank Heitkemper, R. R. Wa'rriner. Dr.
Thomas V. Watts, Jack Constantine,
V. M. Ryan and William Gotelli.
A majority will leave Saturday morn
ing in a special car of the Oregon Elec
tric, arriving in time for a practice
round or two in the afternoon. A few
may attend the interscholastio track
meet in the afternoon. The match will
not begin until Sunday morning. Al
though the Eugene course is only nine
holes, it is likely that 36 holes will
be played, the pairs teaming up in four
bal matches and playing stymies only
on the opponent's ball.
The Nassau scoring system will be
used.
Last year Eugene defeated the Port
land club in the first match at, Eugene
and lost later in the Summer on the
trip to Portland.
'
At the Waverley Country Club the
programme for Saturday calls for four
ball matches. The two best teams,
medal score, will play for the trophy
during the following week. The han
dicap allowed will be three-quarters of
the total handicaps of the members of
each team.
Despite the rainy weather, golf is
on the boom at Waverley, due in great
measure to the impetus given by the
recent interclub events with Seattle and
Spokane.
The Spokane golfers made a host of
friends as a result of their visit here
last Saturday and Sunday, and quite a
delegation of Portland golfers are cer
tain to make the trip to Spokane next
month .for the Northwest champion
ships. This big event is scheduled for June
26 to July 1.

Pittsburg's action in signing Otto
Knabe. following the purchase of Hal
Chase by Cincinnati, takes care of about
the last of the first-class players who
deserted O. B. for the Federal League.
It also creates a queer situation. In
view of the fact that President Drey
fus was one of the last to listen to
peace negotiations, and is on record
with a statement that his club never
would harbor one of the rebels.

Brown Never With Minneapolis.
MONMOUTH. Or.. May. 9. (To the
Sporting Editor.) Please let me know
If this man. Brown, .pitching for. San
SAN FRANCISCO made a wise move in
signing Catcher Clarence Brooks.
Brooks is one of the best catchers in
the league. He is not only a splendid
mechanical catcher, but he has a wise
bead and is constantly using it.
Biff Schaller, whose hitting propensi
ties make him the last person in the
world whom one would suspect of cher
ishing kindly feelings toward mem
bers of the pitching clan, has never
theless something to say about the
overworking of hurlers through the
18-men limit.
What kind of stuff is dis de're
punin oft.'' demanded the big Seal
gardener the other day. "We'se got to
get oy wit seven cbuckers. an' nlav
at least six games a. week, an' some
times seven and eight. How's dev s-oin1
to keep up dat pace all through the
season; pitchers has to get a rest

The work of Jerry Downs,- Seal sec-
ond-sacker, last week against the Oaks
had the effect of silencing most of the
knockers who congregate in the Seals'
ball park every afternoon. Downs has
had some good days and he has also
staged some exhibitions that defied de
scription.
But that has nothing to do with the
style of ball that Jerry is dishing up
around second base just now. He
going out of his way to cut off base
hits and at the same time is driving In
more runs for his club than the rest
of his teammates combined.
This isn't meant for an eulogy of
jerry Downs, by any means. It is sim
ply a bid for a fair deal for a player
who is probably put on the pan in San
Francisco more than any other player
in the league.
.
"You never knew that 'Ping' Bodie
beat Oakland out a pennant in 1910,
did you?" asked Harry Wolverton.
"Well, he did, and it wasn't through
hitting, either.- Ping filled in at short
for five games against the Oaks and
some of the stops he got away with
would have taken the pep out of any
ball club. I've never seen Corhan or
anyone else, before or since, pull off
the stunts that Ping' did in those five
games, and everyone helped bat us
out of a ball game. Wolverton headed
the Oaks that season. You can say for
me that I'm never worrying over
utility man when 'Ping is on the Job.'
Mai Barry, Oak f irst-sacker, has dis
covered a queer cause for complaint.
Barry arrived at Oakland from Jersey
City well stocked with information re
garding the hospitality of Californlans
and particularly the residents of "My
city, Oakland." The first surprise in
store for Mai was the playing of Oak
land's games In San Francisco. The
hostile attitude of the Seal rooters to
ward the Oakland club next got on
Barry's nerves.
"Guess I'll have to get used to it.'
Mai says, "but it's mighty funny to
play ball for a club that has practically
no home fans except lor two days
week."
Despite the fact that the news went
around the ;ircuit that Justin Fitz
gerald's arm was O. K., the Seal out-
tielder is reported as still being both
ered with it. Close followers of the
game on the Coast say that Fitzgerald
would be the Ty Cobb of the Coast
League if he had a good arm. In the
opinion of many fans if Fitzgerald had
an arm they would be calling Xy Cobb
the Fitzgerald of the American League.
The Oakland pitching staff Is to' be
remforced before the week is over.
Elliott is seeking a couple of new
hurlers, and to make way for them has
intimated that another chucker will
lose his job with Oakland ere the end
of the week rolls around. When the
Oaks started the season their pitchers
were thought to be as strong as any in
the league.
Perhaps we'll get more than two hits
today.

Baker Track In No Shape and Cold
Weather Is Unsuitable.
BAKER. Or., May 10. (Special.)
Postponement of the Eastern Oregon
track and field meet, scheduled here for
next Saturday, is possible because of
the freak "Winter weather that Is now
prevailing. The track is covered with
snow and the temperature is too low
for spectators or contestants. Should
the weather clear by Friday the meet
may be held, but If for any reason it is
not pulled off Saturday it will be held
the first day suitable to the outside
schools that send representatives.
Elaborate preparations for the event

Looking Them Over.
Did "Vou Kmow
THAT Dolly Gray, when with Wash
ington, pitched a one - hit game
during the season of 1909 against the
Chicago White Sox, yet was beaten by
the big score of t to 4? It hardly
seems possible that a pitcher could
keep the hits to a single safe wallop in
the big league and still be forced to
suffer a S-to-4 defeat, yet that is just
what happened to Gray. The cause of
the defeat under such .circumstances
was the usual trouble. lack. of control.
When Gray; was able to get the. ball
over the plate the Sox were unable to
do much with his delivery, but Gray
had more than his share of trouble lo
cating 'the plate in that game. He
gave 11 bases on balls and. mixed up
with these passes, were some boots as
well as flies to the outfield. Chicago
being able to total a half dozen runs.
The only hit was of 'the flukiest sort,
generous scoring making It a hit In
stead of an "error. Major league rec
ords reveal few such games as the one
twirled by Gray against the Sox.
That in the first inning of the game
between the New York Giants and St.
Louis Cardinals on May 13. 1911. the
Giants got away to a commanding lead
of 13 runs? That opening session was
the fattest run producing first Inning
in recent years. - Eleven years previous
the Boston Nationals scored 13 runs in
a game with St. Louis. Every Giant,
with the exception of Mathewson,
batted twice in that remarkable open
ing session. Eight clean hits were
largely responsible for most of the
runs. Included in those eight hits
were a double, a triple and a home run.
Fred Merkle. who baa figured In most
of the unusual happenings of - the
Giants, was the leading swatter, with
a double and a home run. being re
sponsible for six of the 13 runs scored.
Harry Bailee, still with the Cardinals;
Bob Harmon, since traded to Pittsburg.
and Grover Lowdermilk, who will get
another chance In fast company this
year wltU the St. Louis Browns, were
the pitchers in the swatfest.
That the season of 1908 was a very
unusual one in major league circles?
That In 1906 the Chicago Cubs won 116
games, a major league record? That
for the firsjt and only time in major
league circles a team that finished last
in batting won a pennant, the Chicago
White Sox turning the trick? That
the longest major league game was
staged. Philadelphia beating Boston 4
to 1 in a 24-lnning battle? That the
Chicago White Sox established an
American League record for games
won with 19 straight, falling one
short of tying the major league rec
ord of 20 made by Providence, of the
National League, in 1884? That the
Boston Americans, under Jimmy Col
lins, suffered 20 straight defeats early
in the-season? That later, the Boston
Nationals almost equaled the perform
ance byM ropplng 19 straight? That Ed
Walsh pitched in seven of the 19
straight wins of the White Sox be
tween August 2 and August 23? That
he pitched four shutouts and allowed
only six runs in the seven victories?
