After Salt Lake had nosed Portland out of the first game, 4 to 3, by virtue of Hannah's homer In the eighth and Brief's triple in the ninth, the Beavers turned on the Bees yesterday and stowed away the second game of the double-header, 7 to 4. It was 50-50, so to speak. Rube Evans, of Spokane, twirled the first game for Salt Lake and had the satisfaction of beating; his old team mates with the reliable Byron Houck on the mound. Piercer Is Made Victim. The second affair looked like another slam for the visitors with Lowdermilk and Rip Hagerman wobbling around the pitching box like an albatross on land. jrinaiiy u auer ivicreyie sent isuycu nui. to pitch and the Beavers Immediately fell upon young Piercey for a flock of runs. Before Cliff Blankenshlp could get Hall warmed up Portland had plastered Piercey with his third defeat of the se ries. ivan .Howard, or the uieveiana ciud, arrived in the city yesterday and played center field in both games. He secured three hits in the double bill. .. Realizing that yesterday was per haps his last appearance before a Port land audience, Louis Guisto staged one of those dramatic exits you see in vau deville. The husky Italian boy bagged a home run off Rube Evans in the first frame and two doubles in the second, besides walking thrice. Guisto Hits Fast Pace. Louie seems to have regained his confidence. If he can keep up this gait he will make an instantaneous hit when he joins the Cleveland bunch lato rn the week. Cool and comfortable weather super seded the Dutch kitchen ozone of the few days before and about 3500 fans witnessed the double bill in comfort Byron Houck was leading in the ini tial engagement, 2-1, until the eighth, when Hannah plugged a homer over the left wall. In the ninth the Bees added two more on a single by Bayless and Brief's triple to deep center fol lowed by a wild pitch. Nothing daunted, the fighting Bea vers came back in the last of the ninth with a Herculean rally that might have won haO Walter Mack used his best judgment on pinch hitters. Ivan Howard singled past third and Guieto put him on second by walking. Roche scored Howard with a sizzling two-bagger through Kane at third. Nixon thereupon walked and filled the bags with only one out. Homer Comes In Fourth. Manager McCredie sent Vaughn to hat for "Ward and Vaughn forced Guisto at the plate. Speas, batting for Houck, pasted a liner to center, but Qulnlan pulled it down and the rally was over. Mack should have sent Speas out first, for Vaughn is not a long hitter and any sort of a long fly would have tied the count. Guieto knocked his home run in the fourth inning, scoring Southworth ahead of him. In the second game Grover Lowder milk lasted only long enough to cast a one-Inch shadow across the diamond. After hitting one batsman, walking two men and exuding a wild pitch in a frac tion over one inning, Grover was yanked and Hagerman ordered to the firlTier line - As Portland had registered two men In the initial Inning on Gulsto's two bagger against the left field fence. . . v. iAn . .... .1 A . I. . integers for a few moments. He began slipping, however, in the sixth, when he walked two batsmen, and McCredie immediately ordered the hook laid against his shirt collar. Portland came from behind and salt ed the game in the seventh by 'a suc cession of bingles that sounded like the barks of a machine gun: Job Evans doubled to left; Wllie doubled to center, scoring Evans; Southworth singled to right, scoring Wilie; How ard singied to right; Guisto doubled to center, sending Southworth across the plate, and Howard ecored on Roche's sacrifice fly.

GUISTO GOES TODAY Big Louie to Join Cleveland for Major League Trial. HOWARD. IS WITH BEAVERS Chick Gandil Slay Keep Portland Star on Bench for Time, bat Folil Intends Giving Lulgl His Chance This Year. Larruping Louis Guisto, star first baseman of the Portland-. Pacific Coast League club and the greatest young ster who has broken into the Coast League since the days of Hal Chase, will leave Portland tonight to Join the Cleveland Americans, who are Just at present fighting for the American League pennant. Ivan Howard, utility man for the In dians and ex-Los Angeles captain, joined the Beavers yesterday, getting in the double-header at Vaughn street shortly after arriving. His arrival means the immediate departure of the big Italian. Guisto, Joe Evans and Herb Kelly left in company with R. M. Gray last night for the Upper Clackamas River, where they will spend today fishing. It is expected that Louie will start eastward tonight- The big St. Mary's boy may not burn up the American League this season he may not even get to par ticipate in many games, as Chick Gandil, ex-Sacramento initial guardian, is playing great ball for the Indians. Walter McCredie said last night that Lee Fohl wished to break the Portland favorite in the remainder of this year so that he will be ripe next Spring. Then, again. Chick Gandil has been in jured and out of the game on two dif ferent occasions this season. If an other accident befalls Gandil, Guisto will be a handy man for Fohl to have around. v Never before has a youngster broken into the Pacific Coast League as sen sationally as did Louis Guisto. Signed last Winter by Walter McCredie, he stepped right out of a St. Mary's Col lege suit this Spring into a uniform of a class AA club, and made good. On his first time at bat the opening day af the season at San Francisco he knocked the first ball pitched to him for a circuit clout. Yesterday he made his 14th home run of the season, drlv ing one of Rube Evans' fast balls into the left field bleachers. One of his doubles fell short of being a homer by only a few feet. Guisto leaves for the majors with batting mark of .286 behind him. He was hitting at over a ,300 clip up until a few weeks ago, when he fell into a slump. Last Saturday and yesterday he began slugging the pellet with his old-time confidence, and would no doubt be hitting .300 again within a few weeks. Guisto is a natural hitter. Walter McCredie made no attempt to change his style this season, and it stands to reason that a 20-year-old kid who can wield the bludgeon as did this one during his first season In a class AA circuit will not flivver as a hitter. It is safe to say that every fan in Port land regrets the departure of big Louie. - Oscar Theander Harstad, ex-Beaver, now with Spokane, will be taken to the Spring training camp with the Beavers next season, Walter McCredie announced last night. POCGHKEEPSIE RACES TODAY Opening of Grand Circuit Meeting Sees Fast Horses Entered. POTJGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Aug. 27. Poughkeepsie s nrst Grand Circuit meeting in eight years will open to morrow.

BIG TEAMS ENTER STRETCH IN BUNCH Brooklyn Leads Boston Only 19 Points and Five Nines Press Red Sox. BUSH LEADS FOR WEEK American League Pitcher, Philadel phia, Hurls No-Hit, No-Run Game Against Cleveland; Gi ants Losing Grip on Fourth. NEW YORK, Aug. 27. American and National League teams entered the 1916 homestretch on probably the most closely contested races of a decade. No team has yet sained a commanding lead. Boston, leader In the American, almost doubled its advantage during the week, while Brooklyn, National League leader, fell back and tonight is only 19 points ahead of Boston. In the American, Boston has a lead which again may bring the champion ship. Five other teams, however, are ready to step ahead should the Red Sox falter. At the end of the play Friday Detroit, St. Louis, New York, Chicago and Cleveland were bunched so closely that only four points separated the Tigers and the Indians in second and sixth places. Yankees Making Hard Ran. New York is making a gallant effort to regain the lead and. up to Thursday had won eight out of nine games. The Yankees met St. Louis Thursday and Friday and lost two out of three. They beat the Browns Saturday and moved into third place. Boston played the best ball in the National circuit, taking six straight The Braves, 45 points behind Brooklyn at the beginning of the week, narrowed this to 10 by the week-end. The Superbas are not doing so well on their Western trip, winning only three of seven games. 4 Giants' Showing Poor. Philadelphia lost four out of five games to Pittsburg and went to third place. The Champions are not out of the race, however. New York's grip on fourth place is loosening. The Giants scored only one run in their first four games of the week against St. Louis and Pittsburg. Intersectional results for the week are: National East. 12; West, 14 American East, 15; West, 12. Bush, Philadelphia Americans, with a no-hit, no-run victory over Cleveland at Philadelphia Saturday, led the pitch ers for the week.

The Eastern Shadow. Now falls a shadow from the East Upon our somber shores; Now stalks the ghost amid the feast Where still the eagle soars; Now rampant in our tennis clan From Johnston on to Hackett, A citizen from Old Japan Is raising quite a racket. Nor is this, sir, a paltry pun Or something worse than poor; The Yellow Peril, like the Hun. Is knocking at the door; And though, sir, you may not believe The essence of'this fluff. The Jap has something up his sleeve Beside his well-known cuff. m A Lawn Tennis Prediction. A few weeks ago we asked Fred Alexander what he thought of Ku- magae's chance for a shot at the lawn tennis championship. "It is all a matter," said Alexander who is one of the keenest .tennis stu dents In the country, "of fhow he ad vances -In hfs play over grass courts. Kumagae is undoubtedly a wonder over hard clay courts. A better player than many believe him to be. But he has had no great experience over the grass battlefield, and this may work heavily against his style of game. But he is the most adaptable chap, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see him pick up the turf court game in short order. If he does he will be a most worthy opponent for any man he meets. Tip Makes Good. Alexander's Up has made good In such fashion that the Jap star today must be given his chance at Forest Hills in the National championship that starts this week. He proved well enough at Newport, where he defeated William Johnston, that he is coming upon the turf court game at top speed. And he will be further advanced at Forest Hills than he was at Newport. Any tennis player who can down Clarence J. Griffin four times and defeat William Johnston in a five-set match is not to be treated too lightly In the advance dope. And any entry who can rise superior to handicaps which Kumagae has faced through lack of competition in his own country can rise still higher. The Davis cup trophy belongs now in Australia. If the National cham pionship trophy passes on to Japan our leading lawn tennis emblems will be quite a distance from home, even as the crow flies. - Brooklyn's September Outlook. These eminent Robins now moving onward under Brooklyn's fluttering standard now face two series that will be of vital importance. So far they have played 28 games with the Giants and the Phillies. Of the 28 they have won 20 and lost but eight, having made it 10 against four from each club. They still have eight games each with McGraw and Moran, and more than any other detail It is upon the outcome of these 16 games that Brook lyn's flag will be raised or wrecked. If the Robins' can skim coyly and with fair safety by these two series their way to the ultimate top Is pretty sure to be unchecked. REED PLANS ATHLETICS ASSISTANTS FOR FALL ACTIVITIES ARE SELECTED.
