Denny Wilie the fielding that save
Portland a victory today nine to eight.
The game was apparently a cinch for
Salt Lake until the eighth when the
Beavers took to Fittery and continued
on Tom Hughes. The eighth gave the
visitors six runs and a two-run lead.
The game was tied up in Salt Lake's
half when Bunny Brief knocked the ball
out of the lot with one on. As usual
Bunny collected real money. But the
fans had been out of luck the last two
days in paying for home runs, because
neither Hannah's homer of Saturday
nor Brief's homer today brought a them
victory.
In the ninth, with Hall pitching.
Fisher led off with a double and was
sent over by Speas with another two
bagger. It won the game for Portland.
In Salt Lake's half of the ninth Wilie
put on his speed shoes and made sen
sational catches of fly balls hit by Rath
and Downey. Sothoron fanned Hannah
to end the game.
Quintan Gets Results.
Tommy Quinian had a remarkable
day at bat. Tommy was up five times
and poked out three doubles and two
singles.
What really broke up Fittery was his
run around the bases in the fourth in
ning, for he was all in when the fifth
rolled around and allowed four hits.
He got on again in the sixth, and that
finished him off entirely, blowing with
a bang in the eighth.
The locals made one each in the
fTi-st, third, fourth and sixth and two
in the sevneth. The visitors scored
twice in the fifth, which made the count
six to two when the Portianders enter
ed the eighth. Doubles by Rodgers and
Guisto were followed by two outs, and
L' . . .. .. i .. . . 1 . . ,1 an,4 Word dnnhlArl
and Fittery gave way to Hughes.
Hughes walked Southworth, batting for
Noyes and also passed Wilie. Vaughn
came along with a single, and so did
Rodgers, the second hit of the inning
for Bill.
Two Games on Monday.
The hitting mixed with a dropped
throw at the plate by Hannah, netted
- the Beavers six runs. The game was
then tied by Brief in Salt Lake's eighth
and won by Portland in the ninth, as
related.
The series stands four games to two
in favor of Salt Lake. There will be

Francisco defeated Vernon today in
both games and took the series, four
games to three. In the morning Erick
son pitched a three-hit game and shut
out the Tigers, 4 to 0. The afternoon
game, won by the seals, to 5, was nip

expediency of switching pitchers, the
Tigers using four and the Seals three.

tion was tied for first honors with the
Portianders until yesterday, but after
the 6-to-5 trimming handed the boys
from up the Willamette Valley yester
day on the Vaughn-street grounds no
arguments are forthcoming as to the
real leaders.
It was an Interesting game, featured
by the ancient hidden ball trick being
worked by the old veteran of many a
campaign, Perle Casey, of the Little
Ones, on Herman Peliette. Thrilling
stops, catches and putouts were re
corded. The league leaders were laboring un
der a strain ot ueing 5 to- 1 in the
rear with "Gloomy Gus" Zweifel in the
box, and not going good. Collie Dru-
hot was called in from right field to do
the twirling in the fifth and Manager
Rupert sent Shoot in to the garden to
replace Druhot, '
Tide Turn for Locals.
From then on the tide began to
change in favor of the locals. The first
man to face Collie was Manning, lead
off for Woodburn, but the old souper
was not ready yet so Manning was
walked. Herm Peliette went to sec
ond as a result. One run had been
scored and only one out was registered.
so it was up to Perle Casey to get
Collie out of a bad place, which he did
by playing the hidden ball stunt. Cur
tis Coleman was next up and it required
only three straight strikes to dispose
of him, thus ending the frame.
In the last half of the fifth the
Beavers scored four times on five clean
singles, tying the count. The winning
run came in the eighth when Peliette
struck it wild by walking Moore, wjio
stole second and went to third on, an
error by "Red" Krletz. "Mud" Ingles
poled out a single over first and the
winning run was across. Ten hits
were made by the Woodburn athletes,
while the Beavers nicked Peliette for
an even dozen, eight of them coming
at critical stages of the match.
I'ellette's Error Coats Three Runs.
With the bases full, "Mud" Ingles hit
one to Ted Peliette in left field, who
let It get away from him. Peliette
loafed in going after the ball and be
fore he returned It to the infield three
runs were in, the score tied and Ingles
was on third. The score:

LA GRANDE SPEEDWAY OVAL.
La Grande. Or., Julv 23. (Special.)
Motorcycle devotees from coast to coast
must pay homage to Otto Walker, vet
eran speed demon. ,
Irwin Janke, erstwhile king by virtue
of his victory recently at Dodge City,
is master of distance annihilators no
more. True, his defeat was not ac
complished until well along in the 100
mile contest.
While there were a number of ex
cellent races run off, two especially
stand out in today's programme as the
feature of the two-day event on the
new oval.
Pendleton sent a special train of
more than 200, Baker and other East
ern Oregon towns, laho and Washing
ton points, all flooded La Grande with
humanity to see the final tests.
Walker started out from the first lap
to take Janke's number. Up to the
40th lap he led and averaged better
than 80 miles an hour. Then he caromed
into Patterson, of Portland, who was
put out permanently, though not hurt,
and Walker had to go into the pit.
Keeney on an Indian upheld Eastern
honors by taking the lead for seven
laps; then Walker pulled ahead, but
Janke had first place from the 63d to
the 62d laps, when his engine suddenly
gave him trouble, and Walker Jumped
into the lead and won handily. It was
a grand race, unmarked by accident or
serious machine troubles.
In a five mile free-for-all, the 4000
spectators witnessed a finish rarely
seen in a motorcycle race.
Walker was a poor second at the
beginning of the last lap. but spurted,
and when Keeney, of Springfield, head
ed into the last turn Walker was less
than 20 feet behind. At the wire
Walker pushed his machine a half
wheel length over the mark ahead of
Keeney. Timers give each racer the
same speed.

CLEVELAND IS DISPLACED
New York Crippled hy Five Men

Disposal of Matty Feature
of Week in Nationals.
NEW YORK, July 23. Changes In
the standings of first division clubs In
the National and American leagues
were slight during the past week. The
margin of percentage separating the
first and fourth dure remained virtu
ally the same as at the close of the
previous week. Brooklyn's lead over
Boston In the slational was not changed
greatly and New York's margin in the
American was unaffected, except that
Boston took Cleveland's place as runner-up.
The Red Sox made the best gain of
the week in the American and the
world's champions now are only a few
points behind the Yankees. They were
able to set back Detroit in three out
of five games, after the Tigers had
broken even in the six-game series
with the Yankee. Cardigan's men are
in good shape physically, while New
York is without the services ot three
outfielders Maisel. Gilhooley and
High: and Baker, one of its heaviest
hitters on account of Injuries.
Yankee's Beat Pltrher III.
In addition. Donovan's pitching staff
is not in as good shape m that oC the
Red Sox. Cullop. the Yankees' most
successful pitcher, is on the hospital
list.
Notwithstanding injuries, however,
the Yankees made it three out of six
from retrolt and they took three out
of four from St. Louk
Cleveland Tell into third place, mainly
because of dropping four out of five
games to Washington.
Philadelphia was able to break its
losing streak Thursday by winning one
game of a double-header from the ln
vllans. Cleveland, however, took two
out of three from the Maokmen. Chi
cago slipped and went into fifth place.
The feature of the week in the Na
tional League was the trade between
New York and Cincinnati, whereby
Christy Mathewson. long the mainstay
of the Ciant pitching staff, went to the
Red as manager. New York also gave
up McKechnle and Roush in addition
to Mathewson In excharige for Herzog
and Wade Killlfer. What effect the
mid-season trade will have on the for
tunes of either team is problematical.
National Race Tlgbtrss.
The race In the National tightened as

Coast League Gossip
CHUCK Ward stole his first base of
the year during the series with
Salt Lake last week. Vann was the
Bee backstop who let him do It. Ward,
by the way. is slowlv picking up In
his batting. He is around the .250
mark now.
Ray Bates, of Vernon, is beginning
to slump a little with the willow.
Bates invariably starts off like a Peu
geot racing car only to slow up like a
velocipede late in the Fall. Up to now
his batting has been a material fac
tor In keeping Vernon near the top
of the percentage column. Walter Mc
Credie says Bates is a good hitter but -he
has laid a wager that Bates will not
finish better than .290.
Allan T. Baum. president of the Coast
League, was a visitor in Salt Lake
last week. His wife accompanied him.
"The Pacific Coast circuit is in fine
shape." said he at the Hotel Utah.
"We are having the best baeeball in
the history of the league. I figure the
league Is 25 per cent faster than It
was last year. The improvement in
pitching is particularly noticeable.
"The patronage in every city Is also
better than it was last year. We had
a wonderfully successful Memorial day
and another fine day on the Fourth of
July."

below .260. Lane, the little Oak out
fielder, started off like a crazy man
but gradually he is slipping downward
just as most of the wiseacres ex
pected.
