The Game We riay. A Life to live and a Death to die: A virtue there and a sin confessed; A. ion to sing and a s!ph to sigh And then God only knows the rest. A PONG of ten cities "Where is the pennant we cheered In May? Over the hills and far away; over the hills and far away." Is He Baokf Is He Back! They were first wondering whether old John Peter Wagner could stand uu this season and last out a week or two. Then they began to wonder whether lie could bat as high as .250. By June they were debating as to whether or not he could bat .300 for one more year. And now they are wondering whether or not the grand Old Fossil is going- to lead the league. For Wagner now is tied with Jak Daubert in second place, attached to a mark of .335. He is 20 points back of Dave Robertson and Dave is a wooly wolf, but any man who at 42 can climb to .335 can do about anything he cares to do. We esteem young Dave very highly as a regular fellow and an athlete. But if the issue gets down to Robertson vs. Wagner we hope Dave finishes second. "Why is it that Ty Cobb, who takes such desperate chances, never seems to Ket hurt?" inquires an earnest reader. Mainly for the reason that Cobb has the science of speed plus safety down to a miraculous point. There is a lot In knowing how to get there in the right way. Have Yoaf I've heard that Walter Johnson's slipping: That he Is edging towards the ditch; But I have yet heard no teams cheering When Walter is announced to pitch. At Boston. "What chance is there." asks a Bos ton fan. "for this eminent city to be represented in the next world's series?" An exceedingly healthy one, we should say. On the one wing or paw there are the Red Sox. On the other raw or wing. there are the Braves. There is the chance of course that both may win. There is an even bettei chance that one or the other will ar rive. The Braves jnst at present have only two clubs to grapple with. The Red Cox have at least five rivals. There fore the Braves have a better chance than the Red Sox. The Red Sox, plus Trls Speaker this season. would have the American League race already packed away. But even without Speaker that pitching staff makes the club a stout and robust contender. With two such clubs around there is a very striking possibility that Boston will horn Into the world aeries melee one way or another; or by one league or another. Walsh. Brown, Mathewson one by one and the wonder is that baseball looks to be anything like the same. "I've had a hard time getting started this season." says Ty Cobb, who Is now batting more than .350. We know one or two earnest athletes who would be glad to stop there. One Way Out. It was an ancient goiter and he stoppeth one of three. "Toil should have seen my maihla shot upon the tenth." said be "Tou should have seen my smashing drive" but crowded here at bay I pushed him underneath a train and went upon my way. V It might also be noted that the paths of glory lead but to the cartoon. The good die young. It is about their only chance to remain good. Proverbs of n Fool. The wise man sigheth In the weight of his knowledge; but the fool singeth la his lack of understanding. The poor man takes all he has across the Long Night; the rich man leaves all he has behind. Mot to Forget A little knocking now and then Turns mollycoddles into men. The Tanks have proved again that a stout defense in baseball is more to be chosen than a heavy attack. With most of their good hitters crippled or in a bad slump they have managed to hold the lead In the -best race the American League has ever known. And the star feature of their play has been great pitching backed up by capable support. It is harder to beat good pitching and good defensive work than it is to overthrow a ragged attack, at tached to only fair defensive play. The two clubs that have been winning most consistently of late in the Amer ican League jamboree are the two strongest defensive clubs in the cir cuit New York and Boston. The .300 and .400 hitters are not to be scorned and despised, but they do not com pose the entire game by several steady fathoms. The difference between Ponce de Leon and Freddie Welsh is about this: Ponce was hunting for eternal youth while Freddie spends most of his time looking for old men. Fromme Is Leader of Coast Hurlers. Of 571 Opposing: Batsmen Only 117 Make Hits Horstman In Second Place in Averages. with, the acquisition of Dutch Iv la witter. Salt Lake gained the honor of having the two pitchers in the Coast League who have Deen touched for more home runs than any other pitch ers in the league. For Klawitter and Tom Hughes have each been found for eight home runs by opposing batters. Prough of Oakland, and Sothoron of Portland, have each been hit for six round-the-sacks shots; Piercey, of Salt Lake; Beer, of Oakland; and Steen, of San Francisco, have each been charged with five home runs; Dougan, of Salt Lake; Couch, of San Francisco, and Noyes, of Portland, four each; Baum, of San Francisco; Boyd, of Oakland; K. Johnson and Quinn, of Vernon; Kelly, of Portland, and Scroggins, of Los An geles, have each, been found for three home runs in the first half of the 1916 Coast League season. Fittery, of Salt Lake, has been hit more frequently than any other pitcher in the league, opponents having touch ed him up for 207 hits up to July 17. Boyd, of Oakland, has been hit 191 times; Prough, Oakland. 183; Couch, San Francisco, 179; Baum, San Fran cisco, 176. Fromme and Horstman Lead. Fromme, of Vernon, and Horstman, of Los Angeles, two of the few regular pitchers who have not been found for home runs by opposing batters, are the leaders in holding opponents to low aggregate batting averages for the first half of the season, Fromme has held his opponents to 117 hits in 671 times at bat, a batting average of .205; Horstman has held opponents to 113 hits in 506 times at bat, a .223 aver age. None of the other regular pitch ers have held opponents to lower than a .225 batting average. Jack Ryan, of Los Angeles, is the next most effective in keeping down batting averages, holding opponents to .229; Martin is Oakland's best bet, holding opponens to .231. Noyes is Portland's best bet at .232; Steen is most effective of San Francisco pitch ers, holding opponents to a .237 aver age." Salt Lake's victories are due. to heavy hitting on the part of the Bees rathe'r than any particularly effective pitching by their slab workers. Judg ing from this rating of the pitchers. For no Salt Lake pitcher has held opponents to a lower batting average than .276. Fittery, Hughes and Kla witter all being tied, each having held opponents to a .276 batting clip. Against Piercey, opponents of Salt Lake have batted .284, and against Hall, they have batted .306. Pitching; Rallntt Given. Following is he rating of pitchers up to July 17 on the basis of batting averages for opponents the figures show the total times at bat and the total hits of opponents against each pitcher, the aggregate batting average being compiled from these.

MEDFORD, Or., July 23 (Special.) Errors in the third inninjt lost Med ford the semi-professional champion ship of Southern Oregon today, when Klamath defeated the local boys. 6-0. It was a fine exhibition of baseball, and In spite of the score closely con tested. Klamath made runs only in the third and ninth, while Med ford had three men die on bases twice, and was dangerous at all times. A large crowd of rooters from Klamath attended and celebrated enthusiastically after the same. 2 KILLED III AUTO RACE OH SPEEDWAY Driver Aubry and Mechani cian Lake, of Tacoma, Are Victims of Plunge. CAR GOES OVER HIGH BANK Wife or One of Fatally Injured Men Witnesses Accident. Which Oc curs in View of 5000 Ex cited Spectators. Continued From First Page.) arrival of the victims, Mrs. Aubry, the young wife, reached St. Vincent's. When she was told that her husband was dead she broke down completely and was escorted in an automobile to the Imperial Hotel, where the Aubrys had been staying. Wilfred Aubry ac companied her. That in his opinion an inquest will not be necessary as the fatalities al'brv talked of death before: race. Ulysses Aubry, who went to his death in the Auto speed meet yesterday afternoon at the Rose City Speedway, 10 minutes be fore the ill-starred races started, had a premonition of the death that was to follow, but he took his place at the wheel, with steady nerve. "That's an unlucky-looking; curve to me," he said to C. C. Crow, of Portland, who was talk ing: with the auto racers. "The boys better look out. That's the kind of a place auto racers meet death." "With that he cmlled and took his seat in the Aubry special, car No. 14. A few laps after the race, which was the Australian Pursuit Race, he had plunged 35 feet to a painful and horrible death. "The auto just seemed to rise up and disappear," said Mr. Crow. , were of purely accidental character, was the statement made late yester day by Coroner F. H. Dammasch. Dr. Dammasch hastened to the hospital and made a thorough investigation. He caused the removal of the bodies to the public morgue, where they now are. . Spectators Rush on Track. The accident happened during the eighth lap of the Australian pursuit race, just after the Aubry Special had passed the grandstand at a speed faster than a mile a minute. Soon after commencing the turn at the west of the oval, the great crowd gasped as it saw the car plunge straight toward the edge of the hiirh. unfenced embankment and disappear amid a cloud of dust. Instantly the entire grandstand full of people jumped to their feet, and all who could break through the guard of police dashed helter-skelter across the track and through the fields toward the scene of the catastrophe. The race was still in progress and two fast cars were still making laps, but the excited race fans thought not of danger. Steering-' Gear Blamed. None of the spectators was able to explain the cause of the miscue al though Robert A. Hiller. manager of the Northwest Auto Racing Association, conductors of the meet, and H. L. Keats, the official American Automobile As sociation representative, expressed their belief that it was due to faults in the steering apparatus. The marks left on the track prove that Aubry had applied the brakes early during the. tangential dash, and that he was unable to turn it in either direc tion. However, the steering knuckles and arm and the reach rods appeared to be in good condition when the car was examined after the disaster. Car Drops 25 Feet. After passing entirely across the width of the track the car left the em bankment at a point where there is no fence and leaped through the air in a southwesterly direction, passing above and at the left of two fir trees and a small shack. The drop was full 25 feet, and the car in its final resting place was 37 yards south of the point at which it left the bank, showing that it must have plunged through the air for most of that distance. When the first spectators arrived on the scene, both of the injured men. unconscious, were lifted into the ton neau of a private touring car and rusned to the hospital. Their bodies were found some 25 feet from the de molished car. There was no ambulance on the ground and Dr. Harry McKay, who was driven hurriedly to the scene as soon as anyone was willing to drive him along the crowded track, arrived after the men had been driven away before first-aid medical attention could be given. As soon as the tracks could be cleared the main and final event of the card, the George L Baker half cen tury, was called with six starters. Only the masterful driving of F. M. Penti cost, of the Schneider Special, on the 2Sth lap averted an accident in this event. Soon after making the turn which had brought death to two - of his rivals a few minutes previously, the tire went bad on the North Takima car and it struck the inside fence. Again the crowd jumped to its feet as a splinter from the fence flew through the air and the car dashed across the track and mounted the solid sloping embankment. As the car climbed up this hill, the deflated tire ras thrown high into the air. After caroming along the edge of the hill, the car dropped back to the track with Penticost .still at the wheel. When he came around to the stands again with his right rear rim flat he was ap plauded generously. Third Accident Recorded. The other serious accident of the day occurred during the 10th lap of the first race, a 20-mile event. On the fatal west turn, the left-hand steer ing knuckle on the Gandy Special car, manned by its owners. M. J. Moosle, of Los Angeles, driver, and B. M. Craw ford, mechanician, broke, throwing the car entirely out of its stride. Mr. Moosle did his best to hold the car straight, but it swerved into the embankment near the place where the Schneider nearly met Its fate. After climbing up the hill more than 12 feet, it came back to earth with the steering: knuckle and the front axle dragging:. Frank B. Piatt, of Tacoma, was the licensed mechanician to go with Aubry in the ill-fated race, but at the last hour Frank Lake, also of Tacoma. took his place. Mr. Piatt's reason for not entering the race was technical. For a long time after the accident many supposed Piatt had entered the race and was on of the men killed. MR. LAKE IX IIIS FIRST RACE Both Victims' Homes In Tacoma, Where Relatives Reside. TACOMA, Wash., July 23. (Special.) Ulysses Aubry and Frank Lake, who were killed in the Portland auto races today, were both from Tacoma It was the first race ever ridden by Mr. Lake, who was foreman of the Washington Machinery Depot, and he went to Portland yesterday to help his friend. He was 34 years old and is survived by a wife, a 10-year-old daughter and other relatives. Mr. Aubry was 27 years old and is survived" by his wife, baby daughter, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Aubry, and other relatives here. He was in terested with his father in the auto mobile body-building business until two years ago, when he took up racing in a car rebuilt by himself and his brother. VICTIMS REMOVED AT OXCE Death Occurs as Rescue Car Is Crossing Bridge. Driver Aubry and his mechanician were picked, up at once and placed in an auto belonging to Dean Perry to be rushed to St. Vincent s Hospital. Mr. Perry and A. F. LeMaine hurried across with- the injured men, Mr. Perry driv ing and Mr. LeMaine holding Aubrey in the tonneau. As they crossed the Burnside bridge Mr. LeMaine noticed the heartbeats of Driver Aubry grow fainter and then stop altogether. He died in the arms of his companion before the west side of the river was reached. At the hospital Mrs. Aubry was in formed of her husband's death when she arrived a few moments later. She fainted when she learned of his tragic end. Lefts and Rights. T1ALPH GRUMAN, the .Portland X( boxer, evidently has turned welt erweight and Is being hailed as a comer by the New Tork sport writers. Gruman looked heavy when he fought Ritchie here last month and his en tering of the welterweight class will not be a surprise to Portland boxing fans. Billy Roche, the noted referee. is now manager of boxers and is grooming Ralph for the welterweight championship. - His first bout In New York since his arrival from Portland will be a 10-round go with Jimmy Duffv within the next two weeks. Roche has four other matches lined up for him. If Gruman disposes of his opponents he will, make a bid to box Jack Brltton who claims the welter weight title. , a George Chaney. the Baltimore Fea therweight who made Champion Johnny Kilbane take to cover, has signed to meet Packey Hommey, ten rounds in New York on July a.

Battling Joe Gorman, the Oakland bantamweight, - wants to meet Johnny Coulon in Seattle. Coulon may come north after his bout with Eddie Campi at San Francisco and take on Gorman in a four-round go at Seattle. Frank Kendall is ready to meet any of the heavyweights in the Northwest. Kendall is back from a strenuous trip in the East where he has been train ins Frank Moran and Fred Fulton at different times. A meeting of Manager Bobby Evans of Billy Mascott, Manager sol conen of Joe Gorman and Manager x red . Merrill, of the Rose City Athletic Club, will bfe held this afternoon to arrange for a Mascott-Gorman bout as the main attraction next Friday night. Mascott has planned a few days' vacation in the mountains near Mount Hood, but before he goes he wants to ease the minds of the Portland boxing fans who believe that Gorman Is a good match for the clever little Frenchman. Stanley Reeves, the New Tork ban tamweight, who substituted for Ray norev last Friday night at the Rose City Athletic Club against Joe Gor man, made an impression with the crowd while he lasted. He was not in condition, being put on the card on a moments notice and was unable to keep up with the pace the little Oak land battler set. With a few weeks' training Reeves would give any of the Portland bantams a hard bout.

OMAR SPECIAL WINS TWO MAIN EVENTS Toft Settles Down to Consist ent Driving, Taking 50 .and 20-Mile Honors. $700 IN PRIZES CAPTURED Free-for-All Race Against Time Goes to Romano Special In SI Seconds, Which Is Close to Oldfleld Track Record. BT CHESTER A. MOORES. ' Aside from the one fatal and the two near-fatal accidents which marred the fast racing events on Rose City Speed way yesterday, me outstanding events were the consistent driving of Omar Toft, whose car pulled down the big money In the 20-mile and 60-mile events, and the hard luck which beset the little eight-cylinder Romano Spe cial, the fastest machine on the track. The free-for-all race against time went to the Romano, with a lap of SI seconds, a mark only three seconds short of the track record established four years ago by Barney Oldfield. The Romano also caught and passed the Omar Special in the Australian pursuit, thereby winning the prize on the first lap after the Aubry Special went over the cliff. Omar Wins 700 la Primes. But despite the ract that the Romano car clearly established its superiority in speed the two main prizes of the day, the 1200 first prize posted for the 20-mile event and the $500 first prize money posted for the George L. Baker Half Century, were captured by Omar Toft, who had a tendency to lag at the rear ouring the early part of the long races, banking on accidents or blown tires to put his rivals off the track. His strategy succeeded in both instanoes. Car Makes o Stop. The Romano blew three tires In this race and seven in the 60-mile event, while the Omar went through the en tire day without stopping for any cause. All of the other cars dropped out for one reason and anothor. also. It was not until the 10th lap of the 20-mile race that the winning Omar moved from last position among a field of seven starters. On the 11th lap It was in fourth position, and on the 13th lap in second place, as the Romano crew was replacing a tire. It jumped into first place on the 17th lap. while a tire was being replaced on the Aubry and it also passed Fred Forbes, of Portland, and bis Buick Special by sheer speed. For the remaining three laps it held the lead, finishing the 20 miles in 19 minutes 29 1-6 seconds. The Buick Special also went through without stop, thus winning third money, while the Aubry car. winner of the second prize, stopped but once for a new tire. Mile Per Minute Kept I'p. The Omar commenced the 60-mile race ih second place, with the Romano leading. It was In third place for three laps, but for the balance of the first 29 miles It held second position. At that point the Schneider Special, which had crowded out the hard luck Komano, acquired the tire-throwing habit and the steady, consistent Omar stepped into front rank, there to re main for the 21 miles left. The 50 miles were completed In 49:27 2-5. The fastest lap in the flying start trials went to the eight-cylinder Rofnano which did the mile In 51 sec onds flat. Gus Duray, a former Port land boy, came within a fifth of a sec ond of this time. The Aubry Special did its lap In 62 seconds flat, the Omar and Schneider Specials did each of theirs in 63 4-5 seconds and the Gandy Special's time was 64 1-5 seconds. The Beck Special did its lap in 65 2-5 sec onds and the Forbes Special made Its mile in 58 3-6 seconds. The Spokane Special did not enter any of the race events yesterday being tied up in litigation and the Crawford Special was held out until the final event of the day. Its owner. B. M. Crawford, rode with M. J. Moosle in the Gandy Special until It went out after running amuck on the back stretch. Record Not Attempted. The Romano Special did not attempt, as scheduled, to break the world's record for one mile, standing start, of 58 4-5 seconds made on the local dirt track a few years ago by the late Bob Burman. Announcement was made during the meet that Gene Romano would turn Rear Lentz loose with thd little car at the end of the programme, providing he had any tires left, but by that time, nearly 7 o'clock, the crowd had scattered and H. L. Keats ruled that it was too late to try for a record. The Stutz, Aubry, Omar. Romano, Gandy, Beck and Buick specials faced Starter C. J. Cook for the 20-mile event. The Schneider could not get started In. time on account of magneto trouble. At the end of the fifth mile. the Beck Special, which had held fifth place that far, went out for the day with a broken piston head and the Gandy Special ran amuck on the tenth lap and remained on the bank along the back stretch for the balance of the day. After holding second position for 12 laps the Stutz Special left the race with a broken push rod. The Romano led the procession in this event for the first nine miles when Its tire trouble commenced. It then fell back to last place and held It for the full course of the race, with Forbes and his Buick Special third, the Aubry second and the Omar first at the finish. Wreck Shortens Race. The fatal accident to Aubry and Lake not only chilled, but shortened the com petition in the Australian pursuit event. Under the provisions 'of this race the first car to pass the others won. Four racers, the Omar, Romano. Schneider and Aubry specials, won the right to enter this event by making the fastest time in the trials, but the Schneider was still without a good magneto at the start and had to remain in the pits.
