Murphy, on second base, dropped an easy pop fly with two out in the ninth that would have retired Port land, allowing two runs and losing the afternoon game, 7 to 5. The Angels won the morning con test. 3 to 2. and this gave them live of the seven games of the series. Murphy pulled his "Snodgrass" after Kyan had really retired the side. The score hung on a dead center, 6 to 6. The bases had been filled on Oscar Horstman, while two men were being retired. Oscar continued pitching to Rodzers until he had three balls and two strikes on the Beaver captain. Manager Chance then changed pitch ers and sent in Ryan. Ryan catapulted the ball squarely across the pan. Rodg ers swung. The result was a spiteful foul tip that Boles nor no other catcher could have held. Ryan tried it over again and Rodgers swung a trifle under the ball. The result was a dinky fly so handy to Murphy he hardly "had to move out of his tracks. But lie made a clean muff of the fly. "Ward and Vaughn, tearing around the bases, - already were across the plate. Immediately Boles flagged Rodgers stealing, but it was too late. The An gela could do nothing with Sothoron In the last half. In the morning game Jackson's speed, timely swatting by Ellis and top-r.otch pitching by Standridge were the main elements of victory. Stand ridge met a worthy opponent in lioucK, eacn allowing umy avui uno. However, he soaked two, and was not as steady as Standridge. A triple, hit by Ellis in the eighth, won the game.

Ludy Langer, of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, won the national mile swimming championship here today, establishing what local officials declared to be a new world's record of 23 minutes, 11 seconds far the distance.

I'd bag a Brooklyn Fan and a writer of Frea Verse, So beware me a vision, A vision of pink and purple, pearl fringed And slashed with crimson, A vision of a world series afternoon With big Pfeffer facing Tex Russell, Or maybe Babo Ruth, I don't which Just yet. But it makes no difference, anyway. For Pfeffer will win and the next day Sherrod Smith will trim Mel Wolfgang -r jrnie snore, ana noverlng over all The manly form of C. Hip-hip Ebbetts will emit loud buzzes in honor of Brooklyn's first world series champion ship. Won in four' games out of six. And it isn't the heat That is effecting me, either. BOBO II. A S related before, it would be worth tl the price of several world series games merely to see Colonel C. H. Ebbetts in action with a world cham pionship outlined against his straining vision. But what we should like to know this: If Brooklyn wins the game's premiere title, will the Colonel feel that "baseball is still in its infancy," or will he believe that it has at last reached its growth and is out of the cradle? . Artie Hofman was considered all in about three years ago. Last year he was held to have slipped even beyond the strength of the Federal League. Briefly, he was a has-been. Tet. upon being lifted once more from the lots he proves again that the old bat ting eye, the arm and the speed are still sufficient to hold their own. In the call for youth many a fine ballplayer has been cut adrift before his prime is past. Tour Uncle Robbie, of Brooklyn, is booming along in the lead with six ballplayers enrolled who were canned by other clubs in the belief that their best days were over. Where would Brooklyn be today with out Marquard, Cheney, Coombs, Meyers, Mowrey and Olson? m The East Seises) Upon New Hope. With both tennis and golf cham pionships held by Western players, the East today believes the shift Is due toward the purling Atlantio again in one, if not both, fields. sS4, . 'I'", JM 1 The easy victory of the East over the West in the recent intersectiona! tennis matches, coupled with the great work of Norris Williams, has lifted Eastern hope to the pinnacle, for Will iams at his best is close to unbeat able, and Williams is practically at his best today. In the same way Eastern golf follow ers, knowing the strength of Evans, h.' ' ' 'r .I'niiiiiiiAJ Gardner, Sawyer and others, believe that at Merlon, over the faster East ern greens, the East will return to its own, guarded by Travers, Kirkby. Marston. Carter, Anderson, etc. This may be the Eastern year, but the fact still remains that before the West.is overwhelmed William "K. John ston, Maurice McLoughlin, Lindiey Murray. Chick Evans, Bob Gardner and Ned Sawyer must be beaten, which is no part of any soft-boiled Job. . Add New Dtsroverlea. Connie Mack has found that it is quite a bit easier to break losing rec ords with a bum ball team than it Is to break winning records with a good one. Just what this discovery will be worth to science, however, is not known at this writing. consecutive defeats up to this sea son: American 1S89 26. National 23. Association Louisville League Pittsburg 1890 , American League 3oston 1908 20. These three should all be easy marks for the Mackmen to shoot at before the year is over. . The Mackmen need only 33 more defeats in 64 games to smash Wash ington's record of 113 losses made Just 12 years ago. This is a cinch if there is any cinch left in baseball. Coast League Gossip HERE'S a little inside dope on Ja cinto del Calvo, outfielder, who. coming from the Vancouver North western League club, stepped into the shoes of Jack Dalton .at San Francisco. He will finish the season with the Seals and report to the Detroit Ameri cans next Spring. When Scout Billy Sullivan was here he said that he had recommended Calvo to Detroit, and as the Seals are used by Detroit for farm ing purposes. Wolverton got the use of the youngster for the remainder of the year. Calvo ie not a stranger in the Paclfio Coast League, having been brought out from Washington in the 'Spring of 1913 to play with Frank Dillon's Angels. He was as fast as a streak, but he is a Cuban, and his previous experience had all been in Cuba. He was a green busher in 1913, and at that he remained with the Angels a considerable portion of the season. He has row been two years In the Northwestern League, and his work this season has been such that several big league scouts have recommended him. Calvo its a lithe fellow of medium height, fast as a streak and possessed of a splendid throwing arm. He has been hitting at a great clip in the Northwestern League this season. Byron Houck and some of the other Portland players went in bathing at Los Angeles last Monday and got con siderably sunburned. In a letter here Byron says that he was burnt so bad ly that it affected his throwing in the ! game in which he got bumped early in the week. Don Rader, tho Medford, .Or., boy who went in the Callahan deal from Vernon to Sioux City, of the Western League, is playing fine ball there, ac cvording to word received here. Rader Is hitting well and fielding In great style. Rader writes that Gus Hetling. former Beaver, is now a barber in Wichita. Vernon, officials are considering the advisability of "suspending" Art Fromme. Art did not look good on his last appearance on the knoll, having lost a lot of the edge of his delivery, and doubtless will benefit by a rest. However, the reason given for his sus pension is a bad rib. In case he is laid off some one will no doubt be "rein stated." Joseph PIpal. new coach of the Ore gon Aggies, got acquainted with Wal ter McCredle in Los Angeles last week on the theory that they will soon be neighbors, speaking in a large sense. While football is Plpal's specialty, it may be that he will be in a position to tip off some good baseball prospects up around Corvallls. INDIANS TO' SEND WILLIAMS Outfield Star to Join Beavers as Soon as Spokane Wins Race. SPOKANE. Wash, Aug. 20. (Spe cial.) Kenneth Williams, left-handed batter and star outfielder of the Spo kane Indians of the Northwestern League, will Join the Portland Pacific Coast League club in Portland this week Just as soon as Nick Williams team clinches the pennant. There are but two weeks more to play and as the Indians have a good-sized lead over Butte and Tacoma, it is thought that the tall outfielder will hike Portland ward within a couple of days. Outfielder Carson "Skeeter" Blgbee, who came to the Tacoma club from the Portland club this Spring, left here to night to Join the Pittsburg Nationals, by whom he was bought for a price around $5000. Both the Tacoma and Spokane clubs, which concluded their series here today, left tonight for Ta coma for another Week's series. Klamath Falls Defeats Weed. WEED, Cal., Aug. 20. (Special.) Klamath Falls defeated Weed, 14 to 4. today. Klamath Falls made 17 hits an Weed five. Bigbee for Klamath Falls struck out 11 men and Tuerck five. Anthony relieved Tuerck in the eighth. Weed made three errors and Klamath Falls four. The same teams will play August 27 at Klamath Falls. Victory by 4 to 3 Over Kirkpat ricks Decides Pennant Race of League.

"Red" Rupert's Baby Beavers clinched the championship of the Inter-city Baseball League yesterday afternoon at Vaughn street by defeating the Kirk patrick Stars. 4 to 3. Members of both nines fought hard to win and thero were two near fist fights between opposing players. When Rupert dug up Johnny Brandt from the Crane Company nine, of the Commercial League, ha dug up the pitching find of Portland's 1918 semi professional ranks. This husky Ger man youth is experiencing his first season in fast company. He has the best curve ball displayed in this neck of the woods for a kid since the days of "Bub" Gardner. -His curve ball re sembles that of Emery Webb's, save that it is sharper and Brandt has more speed than Webb had last season. Brandt's Control Good. Brandt struck out seven batters and walked one,, while Johnny. Telford, ex. Tacoman. struck out the same number but walked seven. Brandt outpitched his more experienced adversary. A beautiful two-ply swat by Johnny Grace really broke up the sensational matinee. This came in the sixth with two on and the Beavers one run behind. When Centerf lelder Arnspiger fumbled the pellet both runners chased over. The Beavers scored their first two runs in the second, a double by Perle Casey, which Rightfielder Smart, of the Stars might have held, although he was forced to back up against the right garden wall to get his mitt on It. chased over one of these runs. All three of the Klrkpatrlck's runs came in the fifth. Both errors by the Beavers were made in this frame which assisted the Stars materially. Errors and Passes Coatly. Six errors and the passes issued by Telford proved the undoing of Bill Heales' aggregation. Tom Baker, Hayes and Shoemacher were Injected into the game by the Stars in the last two cantos in an effort to tie the count. If the Kirkpatricks had beaten the Beavers yesterday next Sunday's game between Rupert's crew and Salem at the Capitol City would have given the LoJus nine a chance to tie the leaders In the Inter-city pennant chase. Salem defeated Camas, 6 to 4. yesterday, but now has no chance for the pennant. With the pennant the Beavers will get an opportunity for trips to Kla math Falls and Prinevllle. The se ries at Klamath Falls around Labor day, September 4, will decide the cham pionship of the state. "Chick" Baker, the Kirkpatrlck catcher, will work out with the Port land Pacific Coast League club when the Beavers arrive tomorrow. After the game Judge W. W. McCredle said that he would sign Johnny Brandt, the Beavers' pitcher, to a Portland con tract for next season.
