LOS ANGELES, CaL, May 28. (Spe
cial.) The Tigers won this afternoon
2 to 0 from the Beavers, and tied them
this morning six-all, and wound up
rheir , last three series with what is
believed to be pretty close to a record.
Beginning with the Angels they lost
rac in seven, took the' same from Oak
land, and let the Beavers down with
but one game, winning five because of
today's tie. Tonight they left, 18
strong, for Salt Lake, to tackle Blank
enship's men.
Getting a late start, the Beavers tied
up the morning frame after Vernon
had run in her six men by the third
frame. Ilouck quit in the second frame,
while Decanniere shuttled out an-inning
later, when the Beavers began to
hit him, and they kept it right up with
Arellanes until the sixth, when he set
tled. With the score tied and the game
run past the tenth it was called when
noon arrived. Wilie's batting was a
feature, both morning and afternoon,
and all week, for that matter. Guisto,
McCredie's heavy slugger, only got
three hits during the week.
This afternoon the Tigers won with
one single, making only two hits alto
gether, the last one by Ellis Johnson
in the eighth counting for nothing.
Stumpf started it in the fourth by
throwing Rlsberg's grounder wild to
first. Then Fisher let an inshoot get
away from him and TUsberg took sec
ond. Bates was walked by Noyes, and
again Fisher had a passed ball, both
runners moving up in nice position to
score when Daley tore off the first hit,
a single, to left center.
Then, with the game lost, all of the
Beavers settled down and played air
tight ball, but it was too late. Hlggin
botham worked the last three frames.
Although Portland made eight hits off
Johnson, they could do nothing when
hits meant runs. Wilie slammed the
ball to the fence for a triple in the
third frame, but two were gone and he
died there.
The Beavers stay here to play the
Angels this week. Score, morning

Coast League Gossip.
IN an effort to strengthen his pitch
ing staff, which has consisted al
most exclusively of Speed Martin, Man
ager Elliott of Oakland signed Jack
Killilay, probably on the strength of
what he did for Oakland in 1912 when
the Oakd won the pennant.
It looks like Cincinnati intends to
use Bobby Fisher as a pinch hitter
and utility infielder. Herzog is playing
shortstop himself. Bobby has an in
jured leg which is likely to prevent
him from doing his best work for some
time to come.

It is becoming apparent that Los
Angeles fans expected too much of

shown that it is not better than some
of the rest of the coast contenders,
certain fans in the Angel city actually

CHICAGO has the latest sensation
among players, a youngster who
set all the "bugs" in that city agog
over his wonderful work in all depart
ments of the game. Although playing
ball on the same club for four sea
sons, this is the first year that he has
attracted attention. His name is
"Daddilonglegs Cy" 'Williams. He is a
centerfieiaer and long distance hitting
for the Cubs is his specialty.
In 1845,' the first year of baseball,
the pitcher was placed 45 feet from the
batter. The three strike rule was in
troduced that year. Also the balk rule.
These are the only two rules which
still remain in baseball that were first
Introduced.
Arnold C. "Chick" Gandll is one
player who helped make the present
Cleveland team. He is a star both in
the field and at bat. "Chick" went to
the majors from the Sacramento club
of the Coast League. He is today just
as good a ballplayer as there i in the
game. Gandil had his ups and downs

Cincinnati is the home of profes
sional baseball. That city was the
first to organize a team of paid
players, and it made a record without
a parallel in the annals of the National
sport. It was in 1869 that the famous
Red Stockings were put on the field
and during that year they were in
vincible, not losing a single game. Of
the glory of those days, very little has
descended unon their successors, but
the name "Reds" adopted by the old
heroes of the 'S9, has been handed
down and still remains.
ALL UDOM EYES
CLIMB OF GIANTS
Winning Streak of 16 Games
Straight Is Within Four
of World's Record.
ALL EASTERN NINES SPURT
Invasion of West Results In Monop
oly of First Positions in Per
centage Column, Except One -Held
by Cleveland.
NEW YORK. May 28. The eyes of
the baseball world were focused in the
week Just closed on the remarkable
record of the New York Nationals. The
rejuvenated Giants, who were able to
win only two out of their first 15
games this season, now have an un
broken string of 16 victories, and have
risen from last place to second posi
tion, whereUhey are within two games
of the Brooklyn leaders.
The aggressiveness developed by the
Giants leads many of their followers
to hope they will not stop until they
have equaled or surpassed the world's
record of 20 straight games won, made
by the old Providence team in 1884, or
the modern record of 19 straight wins
by the Chicago Americans, famous
"hitless wonders" of 1906.
, The Eastern clubs, by 'virtue of the
success of their Western invasion, vir
tually monopolize the first positions of
both leagues. The only exception is
the Cleveland Americans. The first in
vasion of the West, which ended
Wednesday, resulted in the Eastern
clubs of the National League winning
35 games and losing 19, while the East
ern teams of the younger organization
won 28 and lost 19.
Brooklyn Regain Lead.
Brooklyn lost the lead in the Na
tional League daring the week to Phila
delphia, but holds it today as a result
of its double victory over the Phillies
on Saturday. The three leading teams
are so close together that any day may
bring changes.
The Boston Braves were unable to
split even on their Western trip, and
fell back into fourth position by losing
three straight to the Giants. The four
Western clubs fared badly during the
week, and were unable to better their
positions appreciably.
The form displayed by the New York
Americans was one of the features of
the week. The Yankees have won five
straight games, chiefly through the hit
ting of Leslie Nuna.ma.ker. who leads
the American League batters; "Paddy"
Baumann, who is relieving Frank
Baker during the latter's indisposition,
Magee and Pipp.
Cleveland Is Contender.
Cleveland was unable to do better
than split even in the week ending
Saturday night, winning two and los
ing two. The team, now within easy
striking distance of Washington, which
is In the lead, is looked upon as one
of the principal contenders for the
pennant. The individual playing pf
Tris Speaker and John Graney has con
tributed in no small way to the success
of the .Indians.
The world champion Boston Ameri
cans took three straight games from
Detroit last week, but then lost three
straight in their series with New York.
Largely because of poor pitching and
the failure of Cobb and some of the
others to strike their stride, the De
troit Tigers continued to lose during
the week, winning only one game and
dropping Into sixth position.
Chicago played only three games.
winning one and losing one and play
ing a tie with Washington Thursday.
Neither the Athletics nor St. Louis
made any progress, each losing three
games and winning two.

flying over the right garden wall for

Two victories were credited to the
Baby Beavers as a result of yester
day's play against the Montavilla
Wildcats on the Vaughn-street grounds
in the Inter-City Baseball League
schedule. One was a nine-inning, 9-to-2
walloping, and the other was a 6-to-4
one-frame affair. The 6-to-4 gama
was the protested contest several
weeks ago and President Norman Bay
ruled that only the last half of the
ninth inning -canto should be replayed.
The replay was caused when Leapy
Lind stole home with the winning run.
but ft was claimed that the man at the
bat interfered with the catcher In pre
venting a play. The bases were full,
with ont out. This was the setting
yesterday after the first match had
been staged. Brownie Groce, of the
Baby Beavers, sent a long fly to right
field and Lind came home after the
catch, making the score read E to 4.
Art Hager twirled the protested game
for Montavilla, but Zweifel was put in
his stead yesterday and he is charged
with the defeat, although he shot over
but one ball.
Manager "Red" Rupert's aggregation
struck their hitting stride for the first
time this season. Twelve bingles were
made by the Little Ones in order to ob
tain the nine runs. A merry-go-round
started in the seventh, when the Beav
ers batted around, scoring six times on
six hits, two of them by "Cack'r

The Sport light
Having left red trail of wrack, wrec
and destruction through the West, the
Giants' return to Eastern soil may be
one of the large pyschological spots of
the 1916 flag race.
On the Eastern front the Giants have
known nothing but disaster. Their
lines here were broken In so many
places that the enemy romped through
in platoons, claiming the capture of
many prisoners and many guns. But
on the Western front these losses were
fully recovered, the shattered lines
were reformed and no thought of peace
was entertained. And now the Giants
are headed back East again for an
eight-game stand against two of the
divisions that cut them into thin strips
earlier in the year. They will face the
same rough-house opposition that upset
them so badly at the start, but the im
petus from the Western sweep Is not
to be overlooked.
a
At Home and Abroad.
A day or two ago a fan sent in this
query: "Just what percentage is there
lh favor of the club playing at home?"
There was a time when this per
centage was marked. In the old days
it was hard to beat many clubs at
home, where the umpiring was largely
influenced by the desire of the rabid
rooter. Today there is practically no
advantage in playing at home. Many
clubs are better on the road than in
their own bailiwick. The Giants have
won but one game at home all year.
The rest of their victories have been
seined up while abroad.
In 1911 the Giants fell down at home
but finally won the flag through a
great Western trip, where they won 17
out of 21.
In 1912 Washington was away to a
bad start at home but won 16 straight
from the West, giving her a new grip
on the situation.
In 1914 the Braves got their pen
nant start on the road, after having
played badly in Boston, surroundings.
We haven't the exact figures before
us, but we should say there is very
little difference in the home and for
eign yield of the average club. This
Spring nearly every club has done bet
ter on the road than at home. Home
clubs have been trimmed steadily, and
the result has had a depressing effect
upon many communities, which can
stand the mere reading of defeat as
long as they can look upon victories.
"Which is the better hitter." writes
another fan, "Schalk or Schang?" At
last reports Schalk was batting .190
and Schang .189. Take your pick.
The Pro. Revival.
Golf pro.'s. who have had to spend
most of their time teaching the young
and old idea how to shoot, have not
been any too greatly elated by the suc
cess of our amateurs in the last three
open championships. Ouimet, an ama
teur, won the open in 1913; Evans, an
amateur, finished second, one stroke
out. in 1914; Travers. an amateur, won
again in 1915. But unless Evans can
handle the field without help there will
be a pro. revival this June at Minne
apolis, for neither Travers nor Ouimet
expects to play. But Evans alone, in
a medal round competition, is not to
be eliminated before the first blow Is
struck.
Our idea of nothing to bring suit for
a wrestling championship. Tou'd
think a fellow would want such facts
suppressed in place of going to court
to have them proved. After all. what
can you expect with nearly 2,000,000,000
people making up the world.
