SALT LAKE, Utah, May 17. (Spe
cial.) The Portland Beavers paddled
the Bees again today, 12 to 10. It will
be seen that Salt Lake crawled up on
the Portlanders one tally today. At
this rate of progress the home nine will
tie the Beavers on Friday.
Pitching difficulties again beset the
locals. Pitching difficulties also came
near besetting the visitors, but they
were so far ahead that they could stand
a few pitching difficulties. With 18
hits for Portland and 16 for Salt Lake
even the lay mind can comprehend that
there was a good deal of activity here
today. Add to this four costly errors
by Salt Lake and three errors by Port
land and one visualizes quite a mess.
Guisto Only Geta Two Hits.
Louie Gulsto's range finder was out
of kelter today and he had to satisfy
himself with a double, a single and a
couple of walks. The home-run honors
went to Brief and Hannah.
A remarkable feature of the fracas
was the hitting of the pitchers. Thus
Byron Houck got two doubles and a
ingle and Fittery laced out a double
and a single. Houck's hit, by the way,
sent three of the Portland's runs across
and he himself tallied thrice.
Warhop started for Salt Lake. Three
hits, a base on balls and a hit batsman
gave the visitors - four tallies in the
second and Warhop was removed. He
was followed by Joe Chabek, who in
turn save way to Fittery. Salt Lake
tied the count in the third, when they
also made four, two of them being due
to Brief's homer. After that Portland
went right along, making a couple now
and then until they had 12. Salt Lake's
best inning was the eighth,' when they
counted three and might have made
another, but for hesitation on the base
paths.
Hiss; in Fine Form.
Portland cinched it in the ninth with
two, the result principally of a wild
heave by Fittery and a muff by Rath.
Houck was lifted in the eighth and
Higginbotham finished out and the only
dent the locals made in Higrg's armour
was a home run slash by Truck Han
nah in the ninth.
A. star catch by Denny Wilie in the
sixm of Rath's drive was a shining
example of fielding skill. He took. the
ball off his shoe laces. Score: -

Victories and One Defeat, Holds
- Moat Notable Record of Season.
Frank Arrellanes, a member of Ham
Patterson's Vernon Tigers, reigned su
preme among the twirlers of the Pacific
Coast League, so far as victories go.
for the games up to and Including last
Sunday. Arrellanes had three wins and
no setbacks. Yesterday's defeat mars
Arrellanes' record, however.
The real leader of the circuit among
the regulars is young "Speed" Martin,
Rowdy Elliott's find. The star south
paw went down to defeat but once in
nine starts. His average is .889 and he
has been responsible for but 15 runs
during his stay in the box.
The best Beaver twirler is Wynn
Noyes, with four victories and two de
feats up to and including the games of
last week. Byron Houck's win yester
day against Salt Lake puts him on an
even basis with Noyes.

the only pitcher who has failed tp win
at least one contest. Lush has one
game charged against his twirling, and
he has been responsible for three
runs. Following are the pitching rec

Coast League Gossip.
HERMAN BRONKIE., once with
Cleveland, then manager of the
Toledo team and for two years with
Indianapolis, announced that he has
quit baseball. Taking him at his word.
Manager Hendricks, of the Indianapolis
team, announces that Albert Dolan will
be his regular third baseman. Walt
McCredie dickered for Bronkie this
Spring.
In the American Association this year
are many clever shortstops. At Louis
ville Is clever Roxy Roach. Johnny
Rawllngs. of Toledo, the ex-Coaster.
can field in tiptop fashion.
,
Lee Gooch. a Beaver for a few davs
last Fall, is hitting them hard and
playing a good game in center field, in
the South Atlantic League.
.
President Ed Maier, of the Vernon
Club, has rejected three offers for Ray
Bates already this season. Two of the
three came from Detroit and the New
York Giants.
Louis Katulo. 19-year-old deaf and
dumb pitcher of Vancouver, Wash., has
signed a 1917 contract with the Bea
vers. He Is at present pitching for the
woodland, wash., club of the Inter-
City League. He struck out 20 batters
n a 14-inning game at Salem last Sun
day.
President Fred Norman Bay. of the
Inter-City League, was after Judge
W. W. McCredie. of the Portland club,
before he left- for. his hot springs to
get Pitcher Wayne Barham, of Salem,
for the Beavers. Barham Is tha prop
erty of the Vancouver Northwest
League club, but undoubtedly could be
secured for Portland. He is "in bad"
with Bob Brown, of Vancouver, because
he went on a strike with several other
players last Summer. Bay thinks that
Barham has Coast League "stuff." He
has had trials with San Francisco and
in the National League, although only
6 years old.
When Johnny Kane went to Los An
geles from San Francisco for Catcher
Brooks and a cash consideration.
Henry Berry, of the Seals, thinks he
got the better of the deal. So do a
good many Portland fans. Although
Brooks is not a .300 hitter he is a con
sistent whanger of the sphere and a
heady backstop.
Besides taking his turn in the
pitcher's box with Omaha in the West
ern League, Harry Krause is playing
in the gardens occasionally.
Jimmy Johnston, last year Oak out
fielder, a first baseman! What? Who
are you trying to kid? But it is the
truth, for Uncle Wilbert Robinson,
manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
present leaders in the race for Gov
ernor Tener's league bunting, has the
above plan in mind. Johnston is being
worked out in morning -practice and
will be the understudy of Jake Daubert
and will -play first whenever Daubert
is out of the game on account of in
juries or something else. Johnston is
by no means too short for a first base
man, when Stuffy Mclnnis, Jack Doyle
and- other stars at that bag are remem
bered. Patterson's wonderful pitching staff
is in prime condition. Elliott's men
who are playing them this week need
their batting eyes to have a look in.
The Oakland club may get a better
break in luck on the road. It was in
Los Angeles that their slump started,
right after the Oaks had taken three
straight from the Angels.
Elliott, of the Oaks, is endeavoring
to have Roy Mitchell and Carl Mitze,
sign contracts. These are the battery
men "released" by Vernon. If Ed Maier
has really turned these players loose,
the Oaks would have had them both
by this time but the impression pre
vails that Maier has Instructed both
players not to sign with anyone, prom
ising to take them on again shortly.
, Manager Elliott, of Oakland, hopes
to have two new men in addition to
those he already has to announce with
in a, few days. He took south with
him a young left-hander named Clax-ton.

Hanging up his eighth victory out of
nine games, "Speed Martin pitched the
Oaks to victory again last Sunday
morning. 7 to 3. The youngster was
never In danger. The performance
of this youngster becomes more and
more remarkable every week. Of the
18 or 19 victories credited to the Oaks,
this "novice" has won eight.

How long "Speed" Martin can keep
up his good work with the Oaks Is
problematical and is a question many
fans are asking. Elliott is praying
that Dutch Klawitter will round to
form speedily and that Sammy Beer
will develop another winning streak. In
that case the burden can be taken
off of Martin's shoulders.

Sunday. Until that mishap Morris had
gone through 24 games without an

Pitcher Joe Chabek, the former
Brooklyn hurler, who was turned loose
by Elliott, of Oakland, a few days ago,
is in Salt Lake with the Bees. Chabek,
while always hit freely in the Coast
League, has proved cool in the pinches
and has ehown enough to warrant
Blankenship s picking him up. Accord
ing to Blankenship, President Baum
has decided to suspend Pitcher Pruiett
for refusing to report to Salt Lake af
ter being sold to that club by Oakland.
He has decided to do this to protect
the league and the club which may
be decided to own him. It is a dead
open-and-shut proposition that Oak
land hasn't made delivery and will be
forced to take Pruiett back or dispose

The Sportlight
By Grantland lUce.
THE story of Connie Mack forms one
of the greatest dramas that base
ball has ever known. Baseball, being
a game of swift action and intense
emotion, has always been chuck full
of the dramatic.
But we know of nothing In all the
wide and winding realm of sport that
quite parallels the case of the eminent
Philadelphian.
Speaking; of Vpi and Downs. '
Here is a man who stands as, the
only living manager that ever won six
pennants and three world champion
ships. One who for four years had a ball
club that almost wrecked the league
by its overpowering .strength.
Here is this same manager piloting
& ball club that finished last a year ago
and today looks to bo the weakest ma
chine In the major leagues. Connie is
almost sure to finish a bad last once
more. We doubt if all the dynamite
used at Verdun could lift him higher
than the cellar adobe he now adorns.
f
Leader of Extremes.
Apparently fate has doomed Manager
Mack to be a leader of wide extremes.
The game's allotted destiny has
doomed him to have a ball club that
is either too good or too bad for the
game. And lest it be forgotten, the
span of his great clubs is far longer
than the regime of his poor ones. No
man in baseball has done more for the
game and has gotten less in the way
of financial reward.
Only look at the individual stars he
has developed Plank, Coombs. Bender.
Collins. Baker, Barry, Mclnnis. Schang,
Oldring, Strunk, Dygert, Murphy, Davis
and many others. No man has given
cleaner or better baseball and yet to
day, beyond 50. when he should be
reaping the reward of wonderful
achievement, be is starting all over
again, with little profit back of him
for the great years he has known.
The Situation.
We wonder how Mack feels today
with a club doomed to last place when
he looks about him.
There Is Boston, a pennant contender
through a star that he developed
Jack Barry.
There is Chicago, another strong
pennant possibility through another of
his stars Eddie Collins.
There is New York, out of the rut at
last through the strength Imparted by
Baker, still another of his pupils.
Of the four clubs that have the best
chance to win a flag three owe the
bulk of their puissance to the man
who is now a mere trailer in the game.
The fact that he was paid for these
stars has no significance when it Is
known that he has made less than 2
per cent on his Investment, with six
pennant years behind him. If he could
make no money with a pennant winner.
where is his fortune to come from a
tallender?
The Ways of Fae.
The ways of fate are beyond all un
dprstandlng. The man who financed
the American League, the man who
stood a chance to lose $500,000 and not
make a cent, has been crowded out
through money troubles. We refer to
Charlie Somers.
The man who has given the Amer
lean League its greatest glory from
the playing standpoint. Connie Mack,
is now headed so swiftly for the sub
terranean country that nothing can
check his descent.
It was the machine built up by Mack
that stopped the wild charge of the
National League and prevented the
younger circuit from being known as
a dependent body. The Giants had
won the world championship in 1905.
Cubs and Pirates had utterly crushed
the American League winners In 1907,
1908 and 1909. The National League
had won the interleague series four
years out of five. And then Mack
arrived with his legion in 1910, dis
mantled the Cubs and whipped the
Giants to a froth, thereby re-estab
lishing his circuit in the hearts of
fandom.
BaildinsT Back.
No game can keep men like Connie
Mack and John McGraw down very
long. ' Both are fine organisers team
builders and though suppressed fof
a spell they will get their balance again
and start moving upward. We recall
the club that Mack sent West Just H
years ago. It was one of the poorest
looking machines a big league cluk
ever had In the field. It was a joka
outfit in almost every particular. But
two years later Connie was giving
Hughie Jennings a September battle
for the top and two years after that
he had the world series champions.

THAT the Chicago and Washington
clubs of the American Leaarue es
tablished a record for extra inning
games last season? The series came at
a time when Chicago was considered
strong pennant contender and the
two defeats handed the White Sox cer
tainly didn't help the chances of Com
lskey's team or add to the confidence
of the club. The first game was
played August 24 at Chicago and went
13 Innings. Chicago winning b lo t.
The following day Washington won 7
to 4 in 14 Innings, the Senators staging
big rally in the 14th that decided the
contest The next day ashington
won 2 to 1 in 13 innings. Walter John
son came to the rescue in the late in
nings of each one of the last two
games and received the credit for win
ning both. A trifle earlier in the year,
to be exact, June 10 and 11, the Cin
cinnati and Brooklyn clubs staged two
sensational contests. The first game
went 14 innings to a 2-to-2 tic. The
second game went to Cincinnati 1 to 0
n 15 innings. "
That the Boston Braves. in 1914,
when they defeated Connie Mack's team
lour straight games in the worlds se
ries, established a record for that
event? In no other series has the re
sult been determined in four games.
In only one other series was a team
unable to win a game, a tie being the
beBt effort. In 1907 the Chicago Cubs
and the Detroit Tigers played a tie
game In the opening contest, which
Detroit would have won had not the
