At Los Angeles Oakland 8-1, Vernon i-i. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. About 2500 ball fans were riding nightmares again last night after watching Portland and Los 'Angeles split even on another double-header. Ssven home runs wer knocked in the two games Just about a local record, we believe. Portland won the first engagement. 8 to 2, chiefly as a result of home runs by Sothoron and Wtlie. Denny Wille knocked his homer over the right wall in the first inning off Charles Hall and fcothoron bagged one the same inning with two runners ahead of him. Port land scored seven runs in this seething period. Sothoron Makes Second Homer. Sothoron cracked another climacteric rwat over the right fence again in the fourt.i. making the score 8 to 1. and from that to the finish there was little excitement. So far as real thrills go, most, of the melodrama was reserved for the second engagement, which was -won by the Angels, 10 to 7. Along about the third inning it looked like a sad and pitiful rout for the Beavers. Wynn Noyes walked five men in the third. Harl Maggert scored three of them with a two bagger and three more were forced in by Noyes with not a pitcher even warming up in the bullpen. Kenneth Williams knocked a long homer over the right wall in the sec ond, but, with the count 7 to 1 at the etart of the fourth, few of the cold weather fans imagined they were to be treated to perhaps the most sen sational rfJly of the season. Beavers Stage Great Rally. By scoring another run in the fourth on Williams' double and Roche's single, the Beavers made the score S to 2, and in the sixth they came within one run of tying. To be explicit, the Beavers had the bases full and most of the fans standing ip shrieking like Comanches, when the third out was made. by knocking a home run over the right field fence. Jack Ryan began wob bling Immediately, walking the next two batsmen. Rodgers scored one with a double to left. Nixon was sent in to bat for Ward and came through with a, pinch single, scoring Roche. When McCredle sicked Vaughn out to bat in place of Noyes, Frank Chance hurriedly benched Ryan and Zabel fin ished the unusual battle. Zabel's first act was to walk Vaughn, filling the bases. Evans then came through with a hit to left, scoring Rodgers, and the Beavers were within one run of a tie . with only one out. Wilie and Southworth ended the ter rific rally by flying out. Galloway, Too, Gets Homer. In ..he closing innings Galloway, of the Angels, knocked a home run over the much-abused right-field fence off Byron Houck. and Ivan Howard belted a. ball over the same palisade eff Zabel. Sprinkles of rain fell at intervals during the double-header and the threatening clouds kept hundreds away from the park. Ivan Howard was the author of the one bright and shining fielding stunt of the day. In the fourth inning of the first game, Howard ran back into i-lgt field along the foul line and ne gotiated a one-hand stab that seemed almost impossible. It cost Rube Evans a double. Two games are scheduled between the Beavers and Angels today. The first will be a morning affair, com mencing at 10:30 o'clock: the other is booked for 2:30 P. M.

GUISTO ON HIS WAY Erstwhile Holdout Player Starts for Cleveland. LOWDERMILK IS OFF ALSO Tall Flinger From Cleveland Goes Home to St. Louis, Although He Remains the Baseball Prop erty or Portland. Louis Quisto left for Cleveland yes terday morning to talk the subject of his getting a $1000 bonus over with the management of the Indians. Louis had unexpected company in Grover Lowdermilk. Lowdy became discour aged over his wildness and decided to go to his home near St. Louis. They left together. Gulsto is lookinsr forward to a pleas ant trip East, as this is his first jour ney out of Pacific Coast League terri tory. Lowdermllk is still the property of the Portland baseball club. He quit of his own accord and Manager Walter McCredie told him to report next Spring if he thought he could control his wildness. Bill Sneas. who received his five days' notice of release from Portland last Friday and who received an offer from the Seals Saturday, will await the arrival of the San Francisco club here Wednesday before deciding definitely as to his future plans. Houck and Kelly, for Portland, are scheduled to oppose Oscar Horstman and Standridge . or Zabel for Los An geles in the game today. The first game will start at 10:30 this morning with the second at 2:30 this afternoon. According to Manager Frank Chance, of Los Angeles, Henry Berry, of the Seals, will be forced to pay Johnny Powers, president of the Angels, the $2500 which Berry received from the New York Yanks last year when Pitcher Slim Love was drafted. Love still belonged to Washington at the time and therefore Berry, then owner of the Los Angeles club, received $2500 which was not coming to him. Powers, as the present president of Los Angeles, will have to refund Wash ington. $2500. and plainly has a. come back on Berry. The National Com mission handed down the ruling the other day. Johnny Bassler will be ready for duty when the Angels arrive home. In the opinion of G. E. Peterson, who retrieves balls at the Vaughn-street grounds, Al Sothoron's second home run in the first game yesterday was the longest made on the Portland Park this season. The ball was hit over the right field fence and Peterson says he nearly wore out the soles of his shoes hounding it. MJLWAUKIE TEAM WINS OREGON CITV LOSES 3 OF 5 TENNIS MATCHES.

NEW YORK. Sept. 3. The beginning of the last full month of the 1916 base ball season brings no diminution in the intensity of the races in the National and American leagues. In fact lead ing teams in the two major organiza tions are closer together. Boston leads the American and Brooklyn the Na tional, but both of their leads were reduced. The National League race has super seded the American in interest. Brook lyn now is threatened more than at any time since it has held the lead. Boston and Philadelphia have crept so close that they are in a position to go ahead of Brooklyn, at the least turn in the leaders' fortunes. Phils Play Best Ball. Philadelphia played the best ball of the three leaders during the week and cut down the advantage held by the Braves and Superbas. Brooklyn's lead was but seven points at the end. of the week. , Alexander. Friday, established a new major league record of 14 shutouts for one season. The closing intersectional games of the National in the West had these results; West 7, East 11. Boston, which had doubled its lead in the previous week, had its lead over Detroit reduced by half during the week. The Red Sox lost three of the series of four games at St. Louis and St. Louis moved from sixth to fourth place. Yanks Only Drop Bark. The margin between the first six teams in the American was reduced from 65 to 48 points. Boston and De troit did not change their relative posi tions, but Chicago. St. Louis and Cleve land moved ahead at the expense of New York. Intersectional results in the Ameri can were: West. 7, East 10. Dutch Leonard. Boston Americans, leads the pitchers for the week with a no-hit. no-run game over St. Louis on Wednesday. Myers. Philadelphia Ameri cans, pitched a two-hit game and John son.
