Today's Games, f Portland at Salt Lake. 1 Vernon at San Francisco. ! Oakland at Los Angeles. Vernon's fall from first place through losing' six out of seven games to Los Angels, and the resuscitation of the Salt Lake Bees were features of a somewhat spectacular week in Pacific Coast League circles. It was a tough period in other re spects for the Vernon management, for the Coast League magnates had Eddie Maier on the grill, and their investiga tion of the Mitchell-Mltze matter re sulted in Maler's ousting from the board of directorship. While the Bait Lake Bees were win ning the series from San Francisco, five games to two. Portland was busy handing out the same treatment to the poor Oaks. Bunchlns In Race Noticeable. An apparent result was the bunch ing of the race. Salt Lake and Port land both drawing closer to San Fran cisco in third position. Whether or not the Angels are due to continue their record pace is - a matter of individual opinion, but at least Chance's performance last week chopped off a few games from Vernon's commanding lead over the field. This means a tighter race from now on and more interest everywhere around the circuit. Where Teams Play Told. Portland is booked for a week at Salt Lake, commencing today; Oakland goes to Los- Angeles, and Vernon to San Francisco. Unless the Oaks come to life with a Jerk this scheduled alignment should guarantee the An gels at least one week in first posi tion. ' The addition of Bayless and Downey to Salt Lake seems to have bolstered the Blankenship corps, and. according to reports over the telegraph wires, the fans in the Utah metropolis have gone wild and woozy again, and are packing into the park in schools. Salt Lake is a 50-ceht town, and the feminine of the specie is considered able to pay her own way. Hence, the Salt Lake gates are fairly free from "Annie Oakleys," and Walt McCredie should come home smiling this trip. This is contingent, of course, upon his ball club giving a good account of itself. Salt Lake Made for Gulsto. - The Beavers will be minus the serv ices of Bill Stumpf in the infield, but with Louis Guisto whacking the pill like a murderer once more and Salt Lake is made for him there is no reason to believe that the Beavers will crack. n Gulsto's batting last week, after his layolf, must have been most convinc ing to San Francisco fans. The burly Italian cracked out a couple of hits. at least, in practically every -game of the series, and boosted himself to the .313 mark, tying him with- Southworth lor the team batting leadership. Jack Roche finally guillotined his Jinx during the week, participating in a winning game after catching nine straigbt losses. Manager McCredie is carrying only 18 active players now, including the c ollege pitcher. Bickey ' Williams. CRACK SWIMMERS MEET TODAY Miss Minneapolis Keeps Honors in Fast rowerboat Races.

LAYER PILOTS GO When Elliott Quits All Will Be Bench Managers. COAST SITUATION UNIQUE Organization to Be First in Country Without One Playing Manager. Oakland's Pilots Have Been Popular. When Rowdy Elliott bows himself ut as leader of the wilted and faded Oakland baseball club, which probably will be within a few days, the f acme Coast League will find Itself without a player manager for the first time in its history. In the passing of Elliott the Pacific Coast League, it is believed. bids fair to create the worms recora of being the first organization in me ountry without a playing manager. In the old days of the coast circuit the majority of the men at the helm of the clubs took active parts on the dia mond. They occupied practically every position, too. from catcners to out fielders. They were proud of their ability to take their regular places on the lot and at the same time direct the work of their charges. Beach Managers Best. But times have changed, and con ditions also. The majority of the mod ern managers sit on the benches, plan their diamond campaigns, just like gen erals plan their maneuvers, and In their spare moments keep their eyes open for likely talent to develop. The wisest men in baseball today have come to the conclusion that the bench manager he whose days of usefulness on the diamond have passed is the most effective pilot. There is no question but that Ine burden which was placed upon tne shoulders of Elliott Impaired his worth as a player. He simply could not go tne route and do double duty. He real izes his mistake now. Player managers always were popu lar in the Coast League, however, and especially Oakland. They ruled in the trans-bay town ever since poor oia Pete Lohman landed the pennant in 1902. Since then Outfielder George Van Haltren. Brick Devereaux, Bill Reidy. Harry Wolverton. Bud Sharpe, Honus Mltze. Tyler Christian and Rowdy El liott have held down the Job. Dillon Among; the Last. San Francisco, on the other hand. has been used to bench pilots, al though when Del Howard had the club he frequently got in the game at the start of the season. Before the fire the late Hank Harris was boss, when he Dassed from baseball Catcher .Parke Wilson took the loo. e aid most oi the catching then, but he failed to last more than two seasons. Danny Long ran the team from the bench from 1907 until 1912. when Bill Reidy, another bench man and an old pitched, stepped in. Del Howard suc ceeded the departed William. Frank Dillon, at Los Angeles, was the last playing manager who proved a suc cess. Cliff Blankenship. at Salt Lake, broke into the box scores a .few times last year, but has been to bat just once this season and picked up his big mace that one time right here In our midst. Walter McCredie. of the Bea vers, has been out of the game for several years. It is not thought that Ham Patterson will -;ver again step into the fray. RYAN NOW LEADS PITCHERS Los Angeles Veteran Has Record of 14 Gaines Won and S Lost. SAN FRANCISCO. July 17. Jack Ryan, of Los Angeles, Is showing the pitchers of the Coast Jieaguo th way this week, having taken the lead away from Fromme, of Vernon, in the series just ended. Ryan has won 14 out of 19 games and has a percentage of .727. Art Fromme and his teammate, De canniere, are upsticks for second place, but the honor leans toward the former, who has won 16 of his 22 starts, while Decanniere has faced the enemy only 11 times with an octet of wins. Each Is hurling at a .272 clip. Martin, who recently returned to the firing line for Oakland, has won 10 out of 11 games and has a percentage of .714. which is considered a remark able showing in view of the fact that the low-flying Oaks trail the league with a percentage of .352, less than half of Martin's record. IIOME-RCX BAKER BADLY HURT Yankee Star Ont Indefinitely With Two Broken Ribs. NEW YORK. July 17. J. Franklin Baker, the hard-hitting third baseman of the New York Americans, will be out of the game indefinitely, it was an nounced tonight 'by the club, as the injuries he sustained during last Fri day's second game in running against the grandstand while chasing a foul have been found to be more serious than at first thought. An X-ray photo graph revealed that two ribs were broken. Lute Boone, last year's regular sec ond baseman, will replace Baker at third base until the latter is able to re sume play.

Representatives of the Union Pacific took a 736-mile trip to this city Sunday and defeated Billy Stepp's proteges to the 'tune of 6 to 0 in four innings. A veritable young cyclone and dust storm came up at the end of the fourth and made further playing impossible. Wallin starred at bat for the Union Pacific system, with two safe and solid blows in three trips, and Taggesell, for the same team, outpitched Dave Garrick, for Enterprise, although he allowed four hits in the 'four innings. The Union Pacific team will make a two-day trip here later in the season. The championship team of the Inter-City- League will also be visitors uere for a series of tussles in. September. BEN EARL IS WINNER Pacer Shows Class in Opening Grand Circuit Feature. TRAMPRIGHT TAKES TROT Tommy Murphy Starts Where He I -eft Off Last Season as Victorious Driver, Piloting Straight-Heat Winner. CLEVELAND. O., July 17. Coming direct from a winning preliminary j campaign on the half-mile circuits. Ben .art. Deautizuuy anveo uj OtiiMs. clearly demonstrated his Grand Circuit claes today at roriu itanua.t when he won the Edwards pacing stake, the first big feature of the 191 harness campaign, alter one ot tne most bitterly contested battles in the history of the local classic. It was a race which kept the record opening crowd on the qui vlve from start to finish of every heat. Ben Earl's performance was only one of many that thrilled the crowd. In two of the four races the contests went into split heats, and in one, the 2:07 pace, three heat winners were pro duced and an additional fourth heat was required. It was a day of upsets. Tommy Murphy started in right where he left off last season as a winning driver, driving Trampright to a straight-heat victory in the opening event of the day, the 2:09 trot, and the Murphy en try was easily the class of his field. Goldie C. was a big surprise in the 2:07 pace, finishing sixth, fifth and then first twice. Roan Hal won the first heat and The Savoy came on and won the second heat in the fastest time of the year. 2:02i. after which Valentine shot the Ohio mare. QoMle C. to the front. She outstepped the rest of the field and won the third heat and eventually the race. Mary Coburn. owned by the Pastime Stable, of Cleveland, brought home the only Cleveland victory of the day when she won the Forest City 2-year-old trotting sweepstakes in straight heats, and incidentally trotted the first heat in 2:10. a new season's recora for the age. Harvest Gale was the contender and It was due to her ability to trot that Mary Coburn trotted in the time that she did.

Coast League Gossip H ARRY WOLVERTON says that Chick Atitrey's spike wound, while deep and requiring attention, won't keep the game Seal out of the game. Seems as if George "Chief" Johnson has come back Into his own. He won the only game for Vernon against the Angels last week. He always could de liver the goods when he felt right In the Western and Federal leagues. The big chief Is like all other Indians, and Ham Patterson has the happy faculty of being able to get the work out of him. Ham stuck by the Indian when his own backers were criticising him. Looking at the Vernon-Los Angeles box score in the game that Johnson pitched against Los Angeles last Saturday, it appears as if Johnson had a party of his own against the Angels. He scored the winning run. got a brace of hits in three times up and handled one putout and six assists. Speed Martin will need a few more games to limber up properly. He was far from being right the other day when he beat the Beavers. His con trol was bad. and he Btalled around like a man who was not quite sure of him self. Elliott probably will shoot him back against the Angels today, for he's the only pitcher who seems to be able to win a game for the Oaks. Ther els a supposition that the new infielder Wolverton expects from the East may be Robert Watts, late cap tain of the Columbia University base ball team and reckoned the best pros pect since Eddie Collins was in that Institution. He belongs to Detroit, to which club he has reported, but Sport ing Life recently printed a prediction that Watt would be sent to a minor league. as Detroit is well hooked up, particularly with Young at second Watt is a second Backer, but would be used likely in the utility role unless Coffey remains on the injured list. Although Eric Erickson, Harry Wol verton s new pitcher from the Detroi Americans, got pounded in the one game he participated in at Salt Lake last week, the Seal boss likes his style. He showed a lot of stuff and handled himself like a regular pitcher. Conse quently Harry was much pleased. Erickson was slated to come to Sal Lake, but under" the working agree ment between Detroit and San Fran clsco. the Seals got him. It was a great disappointment to Blankenship to lose out, especially when he had completed all arrangements for the deal. Infielder Hollywood, of the Colusa, Cal.. club, of the Trolley League, has refused to sign with San Francisco. This prospect was recommended t Wolverton by Hughey Smith, who ha been managing the Colusa team. Ac cording to Hughey. the youngster i good enough both in fielding and bat ting to stick in fast company. Baseball -undoubtedly has seen th last of Eddie Halllnan. who since hi release by Salt Lake several weeks ago has been playing the utility role for v olverton until his release a few day ago. He got the walking papers from the Seal chieftain at his own reques Haliinan is going in business wit his uncle, who Is manager of a line of steamships running to Mexico. He first attracted attention as a playe in the Catholic School League six seven years ago. For a time he played in the California State League. Then he went to the St. Louis Browns. Later he was with Los Angeles, re turning to the Browns, where he played the infield during 1911 and 191!. He joined the Sacramento club In 1913, and went to Salt Lake In 1915, when the Sacramento franchise was trans ferred to that city. In the concluding weeks of last season he played great baseball, and his hitting and infieldlng were great factors in the great drive made by Salt Lake Just before the cur tain rang down ending the season. BASSLER DROPS FROM LEAD Ping Bodie Regains Place at Top of Coast League Hitters. SAN FRANCISCO. July 17 John Bassler. Lon Angeles' hard-hitting backstop, failed to make headway against the Vernon pitchers last week and Ping Bodie. San Francisco, regained his place at the head of the Pacific Coast League batters, with a percent age of .336. Bassler slumped from his lead of the week previous to .329, sec ond place. Schaller, San Francisco, left fielder. Is the leading run-getter so far, with 67 to his credit, made in 102 games. Daley, of Vernon, leads the league's base thieves, with an aggregate of 26. Bunny Brief. Salt Lake, has hit the ball for 15 home runs, more than any one else in the league has made. DEAL FOB OAKS 111 AIR JACK COOK SPIKES RIM OR THAT M-CREDIG MIGHT BUY. Flrnre of 9123.0OO Said to Be Placed l Club, Covering; Franchise, (rouads and Investment. OAKLAND. Cal.. July 17. (Special.) Rumors were in circulation here to day that the Oakland ball club may change ownership within the week, passing from the control of Frank Leavitt and Jack Cook to Walter Mc Credie, Portland manager, and an un named San Francisco "angel." Repose ad It that McCredie had asked for a figure and option on the Oakland club and the Oakland owners had promised to give him a reply within the next few days. Jack Cook made a statement tonight. however, which put a damper on the reported enterprise. In answer to a question he said: McCredie is not in a position to take over the Oakland club and has ever asked for an option on the club." A figure of 1125,000 has been placed on the local club by the present owners, this sum covering the actual value of the franchise, grounds, club and invest ment, including about $25,000 in losses urlng the past few years. "Tobacco Ball- Latest Find of Pitcher Jack Ryan. Angel Twlrler Learns How to Con trol Break on "Spltter" and Has Batters and Umpires Guessing. JACK RYAN, of Los Angeles, has a new one. The Angel fllnger is al ways uncorking some new-fangled kind f a delivery. Jack s latest could best be called the'"tobacco ball." That, however, would be nothing new. as pitchers have been known to squirt tooacco juice on tne ball ever since the art of chewing tobacco was first in vented. Others say that Jack's new delivery is nothing more or less than a new way of delivering a "spitter," so s to control the direction of its break. Whatever it is, Ryan figured it out during one of the rainy days when the Angels were here last. Early one morning Jack descended the Seward Hotel lobby and an nounced to Frank LeRoy Chance and the rest of the gang that he had evolved a curve that would set them ail down. The day before he had spent experi menting with the spitter. After leaving Portland he tried it out in Salt Lake. His ability to make the ball break four different ways aroused the suspicions of Umpires Phyle and Doyle and t.iey scrutinized the ball, but could find nothing wrong. The same thing happened last Thursday when Ryan beat the Tigers. Once the entire Vernon team clus tered about the ball and submitted it to a searching investigation. Umpire Ed Finney, after the game, declared that he could find nothing wrong with the sphere, except in the cases when be threw two out which had been cut by the wire netting. It will be remembered that Ryan originated the "mud ball" here last sea son. It is the height of his glory to get hold of a ball that has been roughed by hitting the stand or in some other manner and toss it to a batter, for the veteran can make it curve 36 dif ferent ways. All Games Postponed. No Northwestern League games were played yesterday. The Spokane and Tacoma teams failed to reach Tacoma because of a landslide. The Butte-Van couver game was called off because of Vancauver's failure to arrive In Butte on time. The Seattle-Great Falls game was postponed because of wet grounds at Great Falls. ltutte Baseball Bettors Fined. BUTTE. Mont.. July 17. V. E. Postel and D. McCaulley, arrested yesterday charged with betting on the Butte- Seattle baseball game, pleaded guilty n police court today and were fined $25 each.
