LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) 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.

Frea Verse,
So beware me a vision,
A vision of pink and purple, pearl

And slashed with crimson,
A vision of a world series afternoon
With big Pfeffer facing Tex Russell,
Or maybe Babo Ruth,

But it makes no difference, anyway.
For Pfeffer will win and the next day

The manly form of C. Hip-hip Ebbetts

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?

With both tennis and golf cham

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

his best today.

Gardner, Sawyer and others, believe
that at Merlon, over the faster East

own, guarded by Travers, Kirkby.

This may be the Eastern year, but
the fact still remains that before the

no part of any soft-boiled Job.

Connie Mack has found that it is

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

"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.
