What proved to be one or the most
exciting games played on the Vaughn
street grounds this season saw the
Portland Beavers lose to Salt Lake yes
terday afternoon In 10 innings by a
score of 4 to 3. It was one of those
hair-raising affairs with the hate! op
position winning in the final frame,
after Billy Speas had covered himself
with glory in the eighth by sending
Fitsher home with ' the tying run with
a beautiful two-ply swat which cut
the third hassock square in two. The
result enabled Salt Lake to even up the
series, each nine winning three con
tests. '
... Alfhouarh there were two Karnes
scheduled to be " on the bill of fare,
only the first one was played. It was
staged in a continual downpour and
every pastimer who participated In the
struggle went to the shower bath
drenched to the skin. Umpire Doyle
used good judgment in calling the sec
ond affair off because of the sloppy
condition of the park.
Saints Vse Three.
Southpaw Paul Fittery. Billy Piercey
and Long Tom Hughes for the visitors
opposed Herb Kelly for the Mackmen.
left center field bleachers drew first
blood for the Bees in the fourth canto.
McCredie's crew came right back in
Its half of this inning and took the
lead, scoring a brace of tallies. Nixon's
double, which sizzled on its way and
bounced against the right field t'ence;
-fctumpf's sacrifice and Jack Roche's
single across the keystone chased the
scratch hit to Murphy; Ward's out at
first and Speas' first pinch hit of the
day gave Portland the lead.
Bobby Vaughn's being caught flat
footed on Murphy's chop down the third
base, line, and a peculiarly hit ball by
Frank Guigni paved the way for the
visitors to cause the official scorer
some more work in the seventh. Tht
Bees scored twice in this round, taking
the lead again and setting the stage

Willyum Speas in the eighth.
Throw la Too Late.
With the former Philly on first. Orr
hit a grounder to Ward, who tossed to
Kodgers too late lor a torce-out at
second, and both runners were safe.
This was the situation when Pitcher
Kel!y' walked over to Vaughn and ad
vised him that if the next hitter bunted
that he (Kelly) would field it and for
Vaughn to cover third, perfecting a
double piay.
On the first pitched ball, Guigni, who
doesn't know the finer arts of laying
the pellet down, hit one which was not
high enough to be adjudged an infield
fly. It was in Vaughn's territory, but
as he had covered third when he saw
Guigni setting himself for the bunt the
, ball dropped to the turf, Kelly making
nn attemnt tit e-er It.
Both baserunners had started and
rouia not oe caugnt. dui as tne ground
"was soft. Vaughn picked the sphere up
and tossed out Guigni at first. Guigni
gets credit for a sacrifice hit on the
play. Vann walked, filling the bases.

pinch hitter for Piercey, who relieved

stop shot one into the left orchard,
scoring Murphy and Orr. Hughes
pitched the remainder of the struggle
In Portland's half of the eighth, with
one away, Koosers was passed and
forced at second by Fisher, who hit for
Ward. Kelly walked and then Speas
Tame through as mentioned twice he-
lore, tying the count.
Vaughn helped put the skid under the
Beavers again in tne, tenth when he
dropped bhinn s pop fly. Brief singled
to center and the pair moved up
ohsb apiece on nyan s sacrifice. Shinn
scored the winning run on Murphy's
sacrmce tiv to rwxon.
After Fisher batted for Ward in the
eighth, four switi-hes were made in the
, Beaver lineup. Stumpf moved from
rirst to shortstop: Wilie finished in the
right garden; Nixon went to center.

8EES BRING BAD
LUCK TO BEAVERS
Recent Series Sees Three of
Mackmen Forced to Re
tire Temporarily.
JUDGE SIGHS FOR PITCHER
He's Jfot Particular Whether Twirl-
er Uses Right or Lft Hand If
He Can Deliver Goods; An-
gels Here for 8 Games.'
Manager Walter Henry McCredle, of
the Portland baseball club, was a happy
individual last night when the Salt
Lake team departed for Los Angeles.
The Bees brought a bunch of misfor
tune on their visit here, and taking
everything into consideration, the
Mackmen were lucky to get an even
break In the series Just closed.
Three cylinders in the Portland ma
chine misfired last week. On Wednes
day Denny Wllle, star center fielder and
a lad hitting at a .325 clip turned his
ankle going into second base. The
same day "Rip" Hagerman. lenghy
flinger, developed a sore arm, and to
cap the climax, on Saturday Bunny
Brief nearly tore the heel off of Lou
Gulsto.
Every dark cloud has a silver lin
ing, it is said, and Boss Walter of the
locals is not discouraged.
What the Portland club needs more
than all," said Walter McCredie last
night, "is another reliable pitcher. I
don't care if he is right or left handed.
v ith one more good flinger, 1 11 start
a drive that will soon put us on top
of the percentage column.
Wilie will be back in centerfleld
Tuesday and Doc Clough says that
Louie Gulsto will be ready Wednesday.
The forced rest should do them both
good. Hagerman's arm should round
in shape by the end of the week.
"We have heard nothing dafinite from
Cleveland relative to the coming of
Willie Mitchell, the veteran southpaw.
He would surely round out our staff.
I don't think I am going too far when
I say that we will win the pennant
with one more pitcher. The team will
be one of the best Portland ever had
as soon as those now on the sick list
recover. The two accidents of the
week and Hagerman's arm going
wrong, with Ward afready on the bum,
knocked the tar out of us. At that

SOUTH OX SHORT NOTICE,
Entry Blanks With Date of Tonrnan
lent
in Los Angeles Received at
Late Hour,
Mrs. Constance Meyer, champion
diver of the Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic Club Women's annex, who left
Saturday night for Los Angeles, to com
pete in the National women s diving
championships of the Amateur Athletic
Club Thursday night,, departed under
trying conditions.
For some unknown reason no entry
blanks with the date of the tournament
were received In Portland and it was
not known that the meet would be held
until two hours before the train left.
For this reason Mrs. Meyer was not
the best of condition as she had been
unable to practice.
fche was one of the stars In the re
cent tennis tournament of the women's
annex under the direction of Miss Irene
Campbell, in fact she was r rner-up in
the singles. W hlle this was going on
it was impossible for her to pass much
time in the Winged M tank.
She will be compelled to make her
dives from a 10-foot board in the Los
Angeles Amateur Athletic Club tank
Thursday night, but for all that ber
Portland friends are confident that her
grit and nerve will carry her through
victorious.
Frank E. Watkins and Phil Patterson
were largely responsible in sending
Mrs. Meyer South on so short a notice,
but the action will be sanctioned by
tbe board of directors tonight at the
regular weekly, meeting in the Mult
nomah Club.

The ex-National champion's golf was
extraordinary considering tne tact that
h had nractically played no golf at

At the' solicitation of Cecil Bauer,

Tualatin are in wonderful condition
for a two years" growth. The club haa
puirhasid another 60 or 65 acres to
the west of the present nine holes, and
Mr. Egan was out giving the Tualatin
officials a few tips on how to lay out
the other nine so that it will start nnd
finish near the clubhouse. Ten or !5

cleat ei and in cultivation, but the re
mainder lies in a beautifully wooded
ract. It may reautre $4000 or SS000
to clear the fairways and put them in
condition for play. but. once this is
done, Tualatin will be able to boast
of as picturesque a last nine as any
on the Coast-
There has been some saltation n
the part of the better players for one
hole across the Tualatin river, which
winas through the property. It would
require a shot of 160 to 180 yards,
however, and as this Is a rather stiff
hazard for the women and the medio
cre player, it Is not likely the plan
will be -dopted.

How far does a golfer walk In nub.

asked numberless times. The answer
depencs in great measure upon the
ability of the golfer, for the good
player who keeps straight down the

exertion required by the dub who rig
sags all over the course. Henry Blake,
a member of the Seattle Country Club!

tne same length as Waverley.
