BETROIT, Aug. 7. By losing today's
same to Detroit, 4 to 2, the Philadel
phia American League club olaced it
self in a position to tie Boston's rec
ord of 20 consecutive defeats, estab
lished years ago. Today's defeat was
the 19th straight for Connie Mack's
team. The Athletics had an exoellent
opportunity to end their losing streak,
as Myers was very good and Coveleskie
bad. One player, however, Haley, put
them out of it in two bad innings. Two
men were walked in the second and
Haley made two wild throws, two runs
resulting. In the seventh the first four
men to bat hit Coveleskie safely. Haley
tried to wait out Coveleskie, though
he had not given a pass during the
game, and was fanned. So was Myers.
Witt, who hit the first ball Coveleskie
pitched in the first inning for a home
run over Cobb's head, flied out.
Charles E. Hughes. Republican Presi
dential nominee, watched two innings

Webb and Kallio Main
stays of Their Teams.
Three Portland boys are assisting
greatly in keeping their teams up in
the Northwestern League race by
pitching masterful baseball. They are
Harvey "Suds" Sutherland with Ta
coma, Emery Webb with Spokane and
Rudy Kallio with Great Falls.
Sutherland won his 16th straight vic
tory when he defeated Vancouver
at Tacoma last Sunday. Scout T. V.
O'Hara, of the Chicago Cubs, who left
Portland Sunday night for Seattle,
where Tacoma will play the first three
or four games of this week's series.
said before departing that he would
most likely buy Sutherland.
'Suds" is at present only 20 years
old. He started pitching for the Lents
amateur team in 1913 and the next
year found him twirling stellar ball
for the Baker team of the Western Tri
State League. He has been the life
saver for Tacoma this season. .
Webb pitched for the Piedmont
Maroons, of the City League, last sea
son. He is the most reliable twirler
on the Spokane staff at present.
Kallio is picked by many as the best
pitcher in the Northwestern League,
He has been purchased by Detroit.
Pitcher Chink Alexander, who has
been working out with the Beavers
during the home stand just closed, has
been transferred to the Tacoma 'ub
of the Northwestern League. He will
finish the season with the Tigers. Russ
Hall sent Judge McCredie another
S. O. S. for pitchers yesterday.
Bobby Coltrin is out of the game
with Spokane because of a broken
ankle, and has been suspended for the
remainder of the season. Nick will
lams is endeavoring to obtain Frank
Giugni from Butte to fill the gap.
Giugnl was sent to Butte by Manager
Blankenship of the Bees some time i.go.
Both Tacoma and Butte have a
chance to beat Spokane to the pennant
and the final stretch in the' Northwest
ern League promises to be a hot one.

Today's Games.
Los Angeles at San Francisco,
Oakland at Salt Lake.
Portland opens with Vernon at Los An-
geles tomorrow.
With ii' weeks of the Pacific Coast
League schedule still to be played, five
of the six clubs still seem to nave a
chance to grab the pennant.
Los Angeles, in first place, is out
three and one half games ahead or
Vernon and but five and one half
games ahead of Ban Francisco. Some
tall sDrlnting will have to be none oy
Portland and Salt Lake if either one
of these clubs hopes to nose out as
the 1916 champion.
Portland is 11 full games behind tne
Angels.
The start of the lZth ween or tne
season finds the Beavers at Los Ange
les, where they will combat Vernon
in seven contests; oaKlana at sail
Lake, and Los Angeles at San Fran-
cis-;.
Beavers Not to Play Today.
Owing to the long jump from Port
land to the Cafeteria City, the Beaver
Tiger series will not begin until to
morrow afternoon. There will be two
double-headers one Sunday and the
other probably Thursday or Saturday.
Vernon Is by no means out or tne
race, for that club seems to enjoy more
than ordinary success against all clubs
save Los Angeles. Then too. the sus
pension hung on Shortstop Marty Mc-
Gaffigan by President Baum for throw
ing a bat at one of the umpires re
cently will about be lifted this week
and put the scrappy little lnflelder
back in the game against the Beavers.
This chap's fighting heart with the
playing of Swede Rlsberg is the life
of the Tigers and Portland is bound
to encounter some tough sledding be
fore the end of the week.
Team la Reinforced.
Pitcher Grover Lowdermllk and
Third Baseman Joe Evans, of Cleve
land, who come in the Guisto deal, are
scheduled to join the Mackmen tomor
row. The only thing that drove Low
dermllk out of the ' majors was his
wildncss. Class AA batters don't look
pitched balls over as do major leaguers
and Lowdermllk, who is hailed as the
greatest flinger In the world for throw
ing them "by" the hitter, may prove
mighty valuable to Walter Henry Mc
Credie. Evans, who bats right handed, should
encounter little difficulty in hitting
.300 in this society. His coming means
the benching of Comrade Rob Vaughn,
ex-captain of the Beavers. Vaughn
will be used as utility lnflelder.
Just who will bat in the second posi
tion In the Portland lineup with the
benching of Vaughn Is at present prob
lematical. Vaughn has strolled to the
batter's box in that position Since the
start of the season because of his abll
iey to lay down a bunt. The outcome
of the situation lies largely in what
kind of hitter Evans develops to be.
If he is the sort of chap who can
sacrifice cleverly, he may bat in the
second notch, but if not some other
Ewitch will naturally have to be made.
Beavers to See Game Today.
McCredie and his Beavers will ar
rive in San Francisco this morning and
as they do not leave for Los Angeles
until tonight, the boys will have an
opportunity of seeing the first game
of the Los Angeles-San Francisco series
this afternoon. All the Portland bunch
will be pulling for the Seals to win,
for the cry which vtas going up around
the circuit several weeks ago "who's
going to stop the Tigers? has been
changed to "Who's going to flag the
Angels?
Ham Patterson and his Bengals have
demonstrated for the second time with
in a month that they are unable to
ccpe successfully with Chance s men.
In the series just closed in Los Angeles,
Johnny Powers' club took five out of
savtjn games from the Tigers. In the
series ending July 16. the Peerless
Leader collected six out of seven
combats.
Harry Wolverton will get his chance
this wttk to prove that his club is
real contender for the 1916 flag.
Del Howard's no longer Ossified
Or-.ks will start a week's session In
the hlfih altitude -of Salt Lake against
the Bees, who so they say are
ready for their final dash. The pres
ence of Howard at the helm of the
cellar -champions has installed a lot
of penner in the Acorns and Blanken
ship's tribe may have to postpone the
start of its drive for a week or so.
BODIE FATTENS BAT AVERAGE
Pins Still Leads League With Season
Mark of .339.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 7. "Ping"
Bodie. San Francisco outfielder, in
duced the Salt Lake pitchers to help
him fatten his batting average Jn the
series juet ended by hitting the ball
wherever they threw It and as a re
sult he still heads the Pacific Coast
League today as its premier batsman
with a percentage of .339. So far
Bodie has almost made a habit of out
batting the league. "Buddy" Ryan, of
Salt Lake, averages second. 10 points
behind Bodie.
. Schaller. of San Francisco, leads the
rungetters with a total of 82 tallies,
while Daley, of Vernon, with 28 stolen
bases, held the sack-gathering cham

TACOMA RACE EXCITING
FRANK WATKISS DESCRIBES REAL
THRILLS OX SPEEDWAY.
Rlckenbaetan'a Feat la Chang: lng; all
Tires and Taking; on Gasoline and
Water In Minute Remarkable.
"The Tacoma road race last Satur
day was the best event of its kind I
have ever seen." said Frank E. Wat
it Ins, one of the best-known automobile
enthusiasts on the Pacific Coast, who
arrived home yesterday morning from
Tacoma, Wash.
The driving of Eddie Rlckenbacher
in his Maxwell in winning the contest
was a real thrill." continued Mr. Wat-
kins. "The way he used his head was
remarkable. Rlckenbacher averaged
better than 89 miles an hour for the
300 miles. After he had traveled a
little more than 100 miles the winner
stopped, replaced all his tires, took on
water and gasoline and still he lost
but a few seconds over a minute.
'He lost a lap by this move but he
then began a drive which brought him
victory. Dave Lewis, who finished
third, electrified the crowd by coming
down the home stretch on his last lap
at a rate a little under 100 miles an
hour. On account of a little mlxup It
was announced that Lewis was second
over Milton, but on investigation It
was found that Lewis had one more
lap to go.
'Barney Oldfleld, the old war-horse
of many battles, had hard luck. I
clocked him for quite a while and
while be was in the race he was going
around 87 or 88 miles an hour. Pete
Henderson made the most remarkable
run of the afternoon, because he cov
ered the entire distance without a stop.

Coast League Gossip
"I EORGE KAHLER, who was released
VJT recently by Los Angeles, has
finally given up hope of getting Into
the Pacific Coast League again, so has
signed with the General Petroleum
Company of the Cafeteria City.

Negotiations have been opened by
Manager Chance, of Los Angeles, for
lnflelder McCarthy, former Cub player,
who went to the Pirates in the recent
big vdeal between the clubs. Chance
tried to get McCarthy from the Cubs,
but could not land him. He intends to
play the Irishman at second if he can
obtain him. McCarthy is a right-handed
hitter. The Peerless Leader has too
many left-handed swatsmiths on his
aggregation.
as
Right Fielder Jack Dalton, of the
Seals, and the right field fans in San
Francisco are not on the best of terms
since Jack failed to make one or two
plays to the satisfaction of the . all
wise ones.
Dalton has been increaaing his bat
ting average steadily and is driving in
many runs for the Seals. Dalton is
filling the shoes of Justin Eitzgerald
to a "T. Dalton figures to play bet
ter baseball than he hasVhown to date
in the Pacific Coast League. It Is not
reasonable to suppose that he has gone
back so far In such short time that
he Is no longer capable of holding his
own In a Class AA league.

Clarence TJ. S." Smith, former Vernon
pitcher, who waw obtained from the
Chicago White Sox ' and later turned
over to the New Orleans club, of the
Southern Association, has been making
good In the Southern circuit this year.
According to word received from th
Louisiana metropolis. Smith Is one o
the stars of the league and will be
given another chance In the majors
the latter part of this year or next
Spring.
Pitcher Ralph Stroud, of the New
Tork Giants, and Catcher Joshua Bill
Inga, of the Cleveland Americans, have
reported to the Louisville club of the
American Association. Billings is the
catcher who it was thought might
report to the Beavers in the Guisto
deal.
