Yesterday's Results.
At Portland, no games with Los Angeles,
"a"' I.os Anifeles Salt Lake 4-6. Vernon 3-4.
At San Francisco San Francisco 3-4, Oas
land 6-3.
Good old Oregon rain and the sloppy
condition of the Vaughn-street grounds
raused both games of the scheduled
double-header to be postponed again
yesterday afternoon. Neither the Los
lAngelea or Portland teams donned their
uniforms, although the calling off of
the second affair did not take place un
til about 2:30 o'clock. Umpires Doyle
and Phyle waited until then, thinking
that perhaps the sun might come out
Rnd dry things up enough to permit at
least one of the conflicts.
However no sun came, but instead
snore Oregon mist, and after Manager
fW alter Henry McCredie, of the Beavers.
Bot stuck in mud up to the third pearl
button on his cloth-topped shoes, Al
Eaum's hirelings in long pants hung up
the "nothing doing" sign.
Including the two postponed games
f yesterday there have been 16 lost in
Portland thus far this season because
of rain. There are five postponed
games which will have to be played off
in tne Cafeteria City or left unplayed.
as the Angelic horde comes here for
but one more series late in August, and
that week's play is already chock-full
of double matinees. Judge W. W. Mc
Credie believes that President Johnny
powers, of Los Angeles, will schedule
these five postponements when the
Mackmen play in the South, the weeks
of August 15 and October 17.
In their first two trips to Portland
the Angels have been able to play 5
out of 12 scheduled games. According
to Frank Leroy Chance, they have lost
approximately $5500 on the two trips.
Judge McCredie estimates the Portland
loss in these two weeks at approxi
mately $4500, or an approximate loss
of $10,000 in two weeks by two minor
league ball clubs. When the . late
Happy Hogan was manager of Vernon
he had the title of being the rain
bringer in .Portland Every time Hap
came to this city he was greeted by
plenty of rainfall. It appears as if
Chance is the hard-luck king this sea
eon. The Los Angeles and Portland clubs
left for Salt Lake and San Francisco,
respectively, last night. Both took all
members. Pitcher "Bickey" Williams
accompanied the Beavers. Chance s
gang, after playing Salt Lake this
week, goes home for four straight
weeks in its own bailiwick. Two of
the four weeks at home will And this
aggregation pitted against Vernon.
Los Angeles has two double-headers
scheduled with the Bees. One of them
is a regularly scheduled double mati
nee because of Independence day to
morrow, and the other is occasioned by
a postponement when the Seraphs were
last in the Utah metropolis.
Portland fandom will be without
Coast League baseball for three weeks,
The Mackmen open against San Fran
cisco tomorrow morning for a seven-
game series. Next week they meet
Oakland and then journey to Salt Lake.
The Beavers have one postponed game
with the Bees which might be played
off on this trip, making their series
there one of seven games. President
Murphy, of the Bees, may, however, let
this postponement go over until the
Portland club visits Blankenship's burg
for the last time, the week of Oc
t.ober 10.

BAN FRANCISCO, July 2. San Fran
cisco made up for a comedy of errors
in the morning game, which was lost
to Oakland 8 to 5, by winning the
afternoon game, an 11-inning affair,
4 to 3, and thereby making the series
four games to three. The afternoon
game was a game in which the issue
was at doubt until tne ntn, in wnicn

for him to take his overcoat.

NEW YORK, July 2. The displaci:
ment -of Cleveland from the lead in the
American League by New York and the
good work of Boston in the National
League were features in the pennant
race during the last week. Brooklyn
slipped slightly but retains the lead, in
the National. Good pitching and timely
hitting carried the Yankees into first
place, while the Indians were losing
their hold because of a disorganized
pitching staff, and weak hitting.
Donovan's man won five games and
lost one, that being an 11-inning con
est to Washington on Monday. New
York made a clean sweep of the four
game series with Philadelphia, anil
holds the lead by a fair margin, .but
one by no means safe. In two weeks
the Yankees have won 12 out of la
games.
Chicago, through good pitching and
heavy hitting by Jackson, E. Collins
and Felech. went into third place, only
few points ahead of Washington. The
White Sox won six out of seven games.

pense of both Brooklyn and Philadelphia.
Only a few points separate Philadelphia
and Boston, while Brooklyn was only
a few games ahead of the Phillies and
Braves. Before their double victory,
over the Giants Thursday, the Phillies
ha'd lost five straight games. New
York improved and broke even on the

the pitching of Jeff Tesreau.

Coast League Gossip
ov
the road with the Detroit Tigers
Willie Mitchell, whose connection
since his entry into the American
League has been confined to the Cleve
land club. Detroit got him the other
day for the waiver price, and a few
hours after Mitchell received his De
troit uniform. Earl Hamilton was on
his way back to St. Louis.
Mitchell is a good take-a-chance pur
chase. The Cleveland club wanted to
send him to Portland, but Willie re
fused to come here. When Cleveland
was puzzled as to what to do with the
left-hander the Tigers grabbed him.
This southpaw is as strong as he ever
was a little too strong in spots.
Mitchell, as a member of the Cleve
land team, has been troubled with what
golfers term a mental hazard," accord
ing to Tris Speaker. Willie was always
imagining things, fearful that one of
his fielders might make a misplay, or
the batter get a lucky hit, or the um
pire pull a bad decision, which would
turn the breaks against him.
If that Is all that has been troubling
Willie, his addition to the Detroit team
should return him to his best form, for
he has always had a keen respect for
the Tigers. Mitchell could have come
to Portland and continue drawing his
war-time salary but preferred to accept
a smaller figure and stay in the majors.
Speakins of Harry Heilmann, there
does not seem to be any inclination on
the part of a lot of people who are
'bawling" Hughle Jennings for replac
ing Sam Crawford with this recruit to
praise the move, but if it were pat
to a popular vote. Jennings' judgment
would be sustained. The former San
Francisco first baseman and Portland
colt, who was dug up on the Bay City
sandlots by Scout James J. Richardson,
of the Beavers, is not only fielding
well as a right gardener but is hitting
around the .300 -mark.
With one-third of the Coast League
race unraveled, the whole affair is
fraught wit a delightful element of
doubt. The majority seem to figure
the race to be between Portland, Ver
non, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
It is not felt, however, that the season
has gone so far that the chance for a
dark-horse has been eliminated.

And cherish It as such
They rarely ever pan a guy
v ho doesn t matter much.
You'll find the Anvil Chorus rule
The bulk of any mao:
You'll find that very few of them
Faas up a chance to rap;
But you can take this to your aoul
And let It dally there. .
They very rarely pan a bloke
W ho doesn t get somewhere.
You'll find the game is quite Inclined
To kick in with the barb.
No matter what the line-up Is.
No matter what the garb;
But you can also figure this
And let the tidings spread.
They rarely ever rap a guy
Who never shows bis bead.
As to Bennle Kanff,
IT WOULD be simpler to brand Bennle
Kauff as a failure if this was an
ordinary year with the dope running
level.
But when one looks around and finds
Eddie Collins below .250, Frank Baker
below .260, Stuffy Mclnnis below .220,
Johnny Evers, Sherwood Magee and
Fred Luderus below .225, it is rather
hard to say that Bennie around .250
is an utter fizzle.
Kauff is not yet a finished ballplayer.
He has a world to learn. He over
swings at bat and isn't the surest
pegger in the world. He isn't nearly as
good as his two mates, George Burns
and Dave Robertson. But this doesn't
mean that he is a falure. There isn't
a harder worker in the game, and this
will count in his favor once he begins
to gather in a few tricks of the trade
that he hasn't yet acquired. His show
ing so far has been a big disappoint
ment. But in such an unusual year of
upsets it is hardly fair to render com
plete judgment on any player until the
tun returns are in. -
That Punch Again.
"It's the old wallop that rules the
game, baseball with the others," sug
gests a contemporary.
This always sounds good, even
though it slips upon the Stairway of
Truth and comes on down to the cellar.
Just at present you don't happen to
see the Cubs in the first division. Yet
they are leading the league in batting
by several points. This is only a de
tail. They also lead in long hits and
extra bases by a fairly tidy margin.
And who are the first four sluggers of
the league: Williams, of Chicago;
Doyle, of New York; Schulte, of Chi-,
cago, and Zimmerman, of Chicago.
This isn't far away from a complete
monopoly of the so-called wallop. But
it hasn't lifted the Cubs into the first
division yet, much less first place. The
wallop Is an important part of baseball,
but it isn't the entire game by a num
ber of marine leagues.
Why "So Credit"?
Even if Moran had knocked out
Dillon, we have been told, he would
get very little credit for beating a
smaller man.
Which is our notion of bunk in pur
est form. Dillon is regarded as one
of the toughest customers in the game.
He has his share of skill, the stamina
and the punch. He is a natural fighter,
who has more than held his own
against many of the best.
Admitting that he is 25 pounds
lighter than Moran and several inches
shorter, any man who knocks out Jack
Dillon in 10 rounds will deserve all
the credit he can carry.
Bob Fitzslmmons was 40 or 50 pounds
lighter than Jim Jeffries when they
met. but the California bear was
awarded plenty of credit for knocking
the Ruby One cold. Fighters are
measured more by fighting ability than
merely by so many pounds.
Fable.
Once upon a time there was a golfer
who in the course of the round sank
seven long putts that he had no idea
of making.
Later on he missed one two-footer
that he expected to get.
when he had nnisned he made no
reference to the short one he had
missed, but dilated upon his exceeding
luck in getting down trie seven Ion
ones. ,

stroke.
' The Duffer Inquire.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
That comes to one and all;
I take my grip and take my stance
And awing upon the ball. ,
I know that I am swinging right.
I have the follow through.
Yet why is it I almost cut
The bally pill in two?

M'CREDIE HOPES TO
GET .MEN IN SHAPE
Disagreeable Weather Is Far
From Good for Condition
of Ball Players.
TRIP SOUTH IS WELCOMED
Beavers' Recent Record Is Good, but
Managers of Jfortland and Los
Ansrcles Clubs Fear Recent
Cold May Cause Setback.
Watchful waiting Walter McCredie
was not in such gloomy spirits Just
before departing for San Francisco
last night as one would imagine. His
only fear is that it will take several
days for the Beavers to get in shape
again. Boss Wuiter has been watch
fully waiting - for his club to get in
condition all season.
After the locals got in shape at
Sacramento this Spring and rounded
into fairly good foran in San Francisco
before they came home, the cold and
disagreeable weather encountered here
on the Mackmea's first trip home
knocked the tar out of them.
Trainer "Doc" Clough nearly rubbed
his arms off keeping nine players on
the field. After leaving here on their
second road trip, the Portland men ran
into some cold and damp weather al
Salt Lake, which set their condition
still further back. From Salt Lake
McCredie's hirelings hiked to Los An
geles whee they enjoyed two weeks
of scorching weather and came home
in fine fettle.
After running off the Oakland and
Vernon series here, taking them both
and getting into mld-seasoni form biff
came some more rain and cold and
also three- injuries and Ward's illness
Which hampered the club in the series
with Salt Lake and Los Angeles.
On Its last road trip Portland won
ten out of 19 games and took 14 out
of 22 contests played since the '.fam
came home Rose Show week. When
the Beavers came home they had a
mark of .449 in the league standings,
and were In fifth place. Now they are
in fourth place with a mark of .507.
The Seals will be the opponents of
the locals this week at San Francisco.
"I hope we encounter weather sim
ilar to that on the Desert of Sahara
on this road trip so the boys can again
get in shape." .said McCredie Just
before stepping on the "rattler" last
night. "Louis Guisto will be in the
game .Wednesday or Thursday, Nixon
is practically O. K. and Hagerman will
be ready to pitch Tuesday if I choose
him. I hope to make a cleanup on
this road trip."
Manager Frank Le Roy Chance, the
biggest man in Glendora. Cal.. has
about the same complaint to make as
has Walt McCredie. Chance has been
the "fall guy" all season where the
weather is concerned. His aggregation
came here in none too good shape and
the men are going away In a still
worse condition. Like Walt McCredie
he hopes to encounter a lot of hot wea
ther.
There has been some Inclination on
the part of a few California news
papers to "pan" the Los Angeles club
and the Peerless Leader. For all of
that he Is leaving Portland with a sat
isfied ball club that is fairly lodged
in second place.

Elma's three-day celebration opened
here today with horse and motorcycle
races and a baseball game between
El ma and Raymond, which Elma won
2 to 1. The game was fast. Rounds
pitched for Raymond and Libke for
Elma. Cold weather and occasional
rains prevented a record-breaking
crowd.

sulted as follows:
Parrott. Walla Walla, first; Osborne,
Aberdeen, second; Keller. Bellman and
Mish failed to finish.

pened in the half-mile dash, when Eva
Kocher. of Fords Prairie, a 14-year-old
girl ridiny a green horse in her first
race, was violently thrown to the
ground when her saddle cinch broke
as she was leading the race. The
other horses passed over her prostrate
body. She recovered shortly after
wards, but it is feared that she is hurt

weakened, but track officials say It was
due to natural defect in the cinch.

horse finishing the race in a spectacu
lam run.
