BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Sensational spurts by the Portland
and Vernon teams featured last week's
play in the Pacific Coast League. Ver
non, by winning six out of seven from
Oakland, temporarily clinched ' first
position and sent the Oaks on a Humpty
Dumpty voyage to Jhe cellar. .
Portland's ascent, after its ; usual
poor start at home, was even' more
startling.
By taking four of the five games at
Salt Lake, the Beavers made it six out
of the last seven games played. With
out doubt Walter McCredie has a
stronger aggregation under his wing
than the fans were willing to admit
when the boys were in the dumps at
home.

They left here in the cellar and the
percentage column finds them in fourth
place this morning.
When they were home Guisto and
Southworth and the two catchers.

horsehide now. Last week Guisto

Ktumof hit at a .550 clip: Nixon, .467
Vaughn, .318; Wilie, .375. Even Chuck
Ward came to life with a jar and
clicked the ball at a .318 gait.
Although Walt McCredie said Ward
would be released as soon A3 Bill
Rodgers joined the club, the tinware
ornaments are likely to be hung upon
young Charley Hollocner.
Rodgers Adept at Defense.
Yet. despite Ward's sudden activity,
the addition of Rodgers to the infield
is sure to strengthen, the Beavers
tremendously. Rodgers Derhaps Js of
no more value defensively, but "Raw
Meat" Bill is" about as dangerous at
the bat as there is in the league. He
also outclasses Ward on the bases.
. So, all in all, the opposition teams
may not find the Portland club such
"pie" from this time henceforth. In
fact, if big Rip Hagerman, of Cleve
land, reports, as undoubtedly he will,
it is our candid hunch that Portland
will finish at least second in. the race
Allen Sothoron's excellent pitching
in the last few starts stamps him as a
valuable member of the pitching corps,

Mill Speas is the only Beaver who
seems unable to strike his gait at the
plate. Speas usually is a late start.
Were it not for Southworth's bad knee
McCredie could give Bill a rest on the
bench for a spell. Southworth hurt his
knee rounding third base in the open
ing series against the Seals. . Dr. Lesli
Clough later discovered that a cartilage
had been displaced and the knee was
operated upon at Salt Lake last week.
Southworth probably will be unable
to participate in any of the games this
week against Vernon at Los Angeles.
This series promises to be a hummer.
Both clubs are going at top speed an
it will be a prime time for the Beavers
to assert themselves.
The Los Angeles-San Francisco
series last week Droved a tough one

winning a double header on Sunday,
This week the Seals will be at Salt

a mark that someone later on .will I

man acts what looks to be a limit, and
then another arrives, passes on beyond
that limit, only to be surpassed in turn.
But if any record in baseball is to
stand, we should say it would be the
record set by Tyrus Raymond Cobb, if
the Georgian is able to lead the Amer
ican League again this season and
make it 10 years in a row.
.
Cobb's Leading Ambition.
Cobb so far has led the American
League at bat for nine consecutive cam
paigns. If he finishes first again this
season he will have bis 10-year reign
established.
To appreciate the magnitude of this
undertaking, consider the following
caets:
1. Hans Wagner at his best was
only able to lead fouV successive years
at Dat.
2. Nap Lajoie, the slugging French- I
man, was only able to establish two un
broken years of leadership.
3. Such mighty sluggers as Dele-
hanty, Anson, Burkett, Heidrick were
never able to lead five years in sue-
cession.
4. Cobb, in establishing his supre
macy, has been battling in a league
which has offered him for rivalry such
hitters as Lajoie, Collins. Speaker.
Jackson. Baker. Crawford where any
off year meant sure removal from the
top.
5. Cobb has been batting his way
tnrough a league that has known such
pitchers as Johnson. Waddell. Joss.
Walsh. Donovan, Wood, Leonard. Plank,
jtsenaer, uoomDs and many others.
He came to a league that for 10
years has been replete with great I
pucning. and fine batsmen, where the
test has been a keen one, and yet for
nine yeav he has led a field at bat
that has offered over 500 opponents.
The. Tenth Year.
Cobb Is going to try and lead his
league every year he plays baseball, but
he feels now that if he can put away
his tenth consecutive year on toj there
will be no sting in being displace!. He
may change his mind later on when
he is finally beaten out, but that is the
way he feels about it Just now.
Btlt he wants that Ten-Year Title
badly. And -unless there is a decided
change the man to give him battle for
the top will be none other than Tris
speaker.

has been able to equal half this reign
in tne- merry Kingdom of Swat.
To beat out 125 major league ball
players every year for ten years is
something more than a prodigious task.
It is the one record, if there is any
such, that will never be beaten until
even Time itself is too gray and feeble
to continue the journey.
Cobb so far has nlaved In exactlv
1416 big league games, and in that time
has pounded out 1976 base hits, an
average of almost 1H hits to each
game of liis career.
Speaker'a Chance.
Tris Speaker has started out to give
Cobb a battle all the way through the
stretch. Speaker batted .383 in 1912
and .366 in 1913. He fell below those
heights in 1914 and 1915. but 1916 finds
Tris back upon another rampage.
Just at present he is only a shade
under .400. and he is hitting the ball
with greater confidence than he has
ever shown. Thera seems to be some
thing in the atmosphere of Cleveland
that produces batting greatness, for
the two who came closer to nipping
Ty were Lajoie in 1910 and Jackson in
1911, both batting ' under Cleveland's
banner.
There is a chance that Speaker will
succeed where Lajoie and Jackson
failed, but he will find little time to
rest until October. If the gay and fes
tive trick Is to be turned.
