- LOS ANGELES. Cal, Sept. 15- (Spe
cial.) McCredle's Beavers woke up and.
took more Interest In life when It was
announced that Chief Johnson was to
he their main opponent for the after
noon, and proceeded to show Johnson
that the title before his moniker did
not make .them fear him by downing
the Tigers for tne second time this
week by a 2-to-l score.
Although the Beavers went after the
Chief from the first and got him. he
allowed only four hits throughout the
proceedings. But as luck would have
it, three of these hits came in one
frame, the fourth, allowing: the Port
land squad to ring the bell twloe and
cinch the game.
"While the Chief was having; his trou
bles the Tigers pounded Sothoron for
eight bingles. all of which were made
In the first five Innings. In the four
Innings that the Vernonites did hit,
two in each of these Innings were lost
through poor base-running, with the
exception of the opening frame. Tn
this inning Vernon soored their soli
tary run by Doane starting with a
double to center and scoring on an out
and a wild pitch.
After going through three cantos
with only an infield hit to their credit.
Portland lit into the Chief, riding him
for two singles and a double to center
field. Eouthworth opened with a sin
gle and went to third on a double by
Howard. At this stage of the game
Swede Rlsberg cut loose with a wild
heave to third, allowing Southworth
to score and sending Howard to third.
Williams ended the Chiefs misery by
singling to center, scoring Howard with
the winning run. After that Portland
went hltless for the rest of the game.

CLARKE HUNTING SEASON OPEN
Vanconver Sportsmen Find Game
Birds Fairly Plentiful.
VANCOUVER, Wash, Sept. IB. (Spe
cial.) The season for game birds
opened in this county today and a large
number of hunters went out bright and
early in quest of game.
It is thought that the hard Winter
was responsible for the decimation of
the birds, especially Chinese pheasants.
whose long talis became so heavy with
ice they were unable to get out and
find food. Several hunters came in to
night with the limit of birds, but re
ported they had to cover considerable
territory to get them.

obtained 47 and the National League
27. These latter figures do not signify
tnat tne American League was propor
tlonately more lucky in the draw than
the National, but that President John
son's organization had a large major
ity of the drafts, the Philadelphia
Americans alone making an effort to
ootam 26 youngsters through this
method of baseball procedure.
Of the 26 that Connie Mack attempt
ed to get, 12 were forthcoming to him
when the drawing of lots had been
completed.
He waa surpassed, however, by the
Chicago Americans, who obtained 14
players.
Red Sox Full to Draw Flayer.
Next tn point of numbers came the
Cleveland Americans and the Chicago
Nationals with seven each, while the
New York Americans got five. Cin
cinnati. Brooklyn and the St. Louis
Americans each obtained four, while
Detroit, Boston Nationals and Pitts
burg came away with three each. The
New York Nationals. St. Louis Nation
als, Philadelphia Nationals and Wash
ington each received two, while the
Boston Americans failed to drav o
single player.
mat the minor league field has been
picked over rather thoroughly for good
material through the process of nur.
chase was Indicated by the fact that
in no individual case was there an ex
ceptionally, keen competition, the ma
jority of the players being drafted by
a Bingie ciuo.
It was announced at the opening rf
the session of the Commission that the
rule adopted two years ago whereby
the Malor League clubs drafting from
Class AA Leagues would draft the
club, and be given five days In which
to select a player was still In force.
It was decided later that the rule
applied to class A as well as class AA
and three choices were made so that
the winning major league club can
cancel the draft. The draft In part
follows:
Los Angelea Philadelphia Ameri
cans only.
Oakland St. Louis Americana (Ken
worthy was designated).
Portland Philadelphia Americans
first, Chicago Nationals second, Bos
ton Nationals third.
Seals Are Overlooked.
Salt Lake Philadelphia Nationals
first, Philadelphia Americans second,
Pittsburg Nationals third.
San Francisco None.
Vernon Philadelphia Americans,
first; Cleveland, second; Boston Na
tionals, third.
Other drafts below Class AA and
Class A weret
Fitzsimmons. Butte. Mont.. Brooklyn
only. Reuther, Spokane, Chicago Na
tionals, first; Cincinnati, second (only
two drafts). Teague, of the Rocky
Mountains, Chicago Americans, only.
The Philadelphia Americans claimed
Noyes from Portland; McGafflgan,
from Vernon, and Bassler, from Los
Angeles.
Cleveland declared for Miller, of
Omaha.
The Chicago Americans selected
Gray, of Wichita, and KIrkham, of St.
Joseph. They announced they would
withdraw from Denver. Detroit was
second-choice on Denver and selected
Dyer.
Philadelphia Nationals selected Fit
tery, of Salt Lake.
DRAFT OF NOYES EXPECTED
Several Big League Scouts Known to
Be "Sweet" on Pitcher.
The draft against Wynn Noyes, Port
land twiner, occasions no surprise here
about because several scouta were
' - Ay ' f
' -A :. if ;
: ,-. , , - y
known to be extremely "sweet" on him.
Philadelphia's scout, Ira Thomas, looked
him over here for several days along
with Billy Sullivan, of Detroit, and T.
F. O'Hara, of the Chicago Cubs. Sul
livan claimed to like Chuck Ward's
work at short, but if Detroit put in any
draft at all the Tigers lost in the lot-r
tery.
The Philadelphia Athletics were
awarded first choice of the Portland
club, and, had Connie Mack decided to
forfeit this privilege the Chicago Cubs
would have had the choice, with the
Boston Nationals next In the waiting
one player can be claimed from
each AA league club, so Philadelphia's
decision to draft Noyes cancels all the
other claims. Portland gets $2500 for
the player about $2000 less than he
would bring if sold on the open market.
Noyes came West to Join the San
Francisco Seals about four years ago
and was sent by Danny Long to Spo
kane. After a phenomenal season in
the Northwestern League he was sold
to the Boston Nationals and remained
there parts of two seasons before being
returned to Spokane.
Portland secured him from Spokane
last Fall and he has been a consistent
winner for the Beavers.
"Dutch" Reuther, drafted by the Chi
cago Cubs, is at present a member of
the Portland pitching corps, but inas
much as he finished the season with
the Spokane club before Joining Port
land his draft goes against the Spo
kane' club. The majors can draft as
many players as they wish from any
B league club.
Travers Returns to Form.
NEW YORK. Sept. 15. Jerome D.
Travers, formerly open and amateur
golf champion, received many con
gratulations today upon the return to
form shown in a four-ball match at the
Wykagyl Club, New Rochelle, yester
day, when the Montclair man eclipsed
Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr., with a
score of 72, as compared to the present
champion's 75. Travers was at his best
and easily the star of the match. His
partner was T. V. Bermingham, while
Evans was paired with John G. Ander
son. Travers and Bermingham won the
match, two up and one to play.
Coast League Gossip
LOS ANGELES has won more series
and lost fewer than any other club

seven and tying one. Vernon has won
12 series, five of them off Oakland,
dropped nine and tied two. Vernon's
record against the Oaks Is 30 wins and
eight defeats, Patterson's men not hav

crowd. i
Here are the figures on series won

Schultz and Bobby Davis and the all
around Improvement in Polly McLarry's
work increase the strength of the
Angel Infield many points. Phil Koer
ner also is playing great ball In all
departments, coming out of his batting
slump with a bang. McLarry's fielding
and hitting have been outstanding fea
tures the past 10 days. Jim Galloway
gives the Infield considerable reserve
strength, and he probably will con
tinue in the utility role.
...
Jess Orendorff, former Angel catcher.
Is mentioned prominently as a possible
successor to Blankenshlp as Salt Lake
manager. However, Bud Ryan seems
to stand a good show of being named
manager permanently.
e
The story of how Bobby Davis be
came a member of Los Angeles is a
long one on the point of time, dating
back to last Spring. Chance has had
the boy In mind since he first saw him
In action with Oakland.
"That kid looks like the best short
stop in the league," Frank remarked on
that occasion. The following day
Davis went out of the game with a bad
leg. It was a recrudescence of the old
injury in his knee.
Chance did not see any more of htm
for a long time, but bore him in mind
and the deal for Butler and $750 was
the outcome.
e
Having gone through a gruelling six
games with Vernon, the Angels are now
handing the Bees an awful walloping
in their own bailiwick. The Chance
men defeated Buddy Ryan's clan again
yesterday. Salt Lake was going good
prior to this week.
No series in Salt Lake Is tapioca for
a visiting club, and the Bees have a
chance to still clean up on the boys
from the sunny South, for there are
double-headers scheduled for today and
tomorrow. The Bees have been rushing
through all opposition leaving a lot of
mangled ball teams in their wake.
.
Salt Lake started its drive toward
second place on August 9 and has
passed both Portland and San Fran
cisco. During that time it has beaten
every club in the league at least once'
with the exception of Portland and Los
Angeles. It broke even with the Bea
vers, and this is the first series with
Los Angeles since the drive started.
mm
The club formerly led by Cliff
Blankenshlp has taken two series from
Oakland since beginning its drive. 5 to
1 and 7 to 1, trimmed San Francisco
5 out of 9, and Vernon 4 out of 7.
Returning from Salt Lake, the Angela
will have two weeks at home, meeting
San Francisco and the Bees, while
Vernon is taking care of Salt Lake and
Portland on the road.
Some class to Al Sotheron. Wonder
what Beaver chucker will do It today?
...
Ten more days and the Beavers will
be home to start their final stand at
Vaughn-street this season.
e
There seems to be an impression
around some quarters that Oakland has
taken a majority of games from the
Angels this season. This idea largely
prevails because the Oaks have been
tough customers for Chance to deal
with. Here's the straight of It. Los
Angeles has won 19 and lost 15 games
playing Oakland this season.
New Orleans Offer Refused.
CHICAGO, Sept. 15. A guarantee of
S15.000 for a 20-round match with
Johnny Dundee in New Orleans will
not be accepted, Harry Pollok. manager
of Freddie Welsh, the lightweight
champion, said today. Pollok said he

The Versatile Phils.
THE Phillies have pretty well proved
themselves to be the strongest club
In the National League. They proved
this by the summary punishment they
inflicted at the edge of the stretch
upon three first-division clubs, Brook
lyn, Boston and New York. Last year
they won by getting out in front and
staying there. To know that variety
wmcn is orten called the spice of life,
they are about to switch tactics this
year by winning after a rather rickety
start. They were not given a chance
to win through the middle of August.

by the time their main batteries had

The Red Sox Stand.
On the last Western Invasion the
Red 6ox won 12 out of 18 games. They
gained ground on Detroit and Chicago,
but loet ground to St. Louis. On this
next trip there are two clubs the Red
Sox must beat with fair decisiveness
to win. One Is Detroit. The other is
Chicago. Unless Carrlgan can win the
series rrom each of these clubs be will
be up against It. for while his lineup
is racing four tough machines In suc

Chicago series will announce the

The Next Strike.
Last year we had a ballplayers'
strike. This year we have almost had
a railroad strike. Next year the golf
ers should be the ones to strike, de
manding an eight-inch cup to putt for
and perfect turf in all bunkers. Why
should a man be forced to play out of
loose sand and heel prints when he
might just as well play from a fine
lie, and not be annoyed?

When One Is Well Off.
"You never know when you are well
off in golf," says Walter J. Travis.
"And In the same way you ehouui never
figure that you are beaten. I saw sev
eral holes played during the recent
championship where one man would
have two fine shots and be on the
green and the other would have three
bad shots and be off the green, yet
able to get his half through a fine chin
shot and a fine putt, where the other
man took three putts. The fact that
a man has made a had drive or a bad
second shot should never be a discour
aging factor, for upsets and startling
changes come quicker In golf than any
game I know."

No, Not Yet.

the slump Is about over now and
Brooklyn is going out to win. After
leading the league for so long the
Bobbins were due to flutter down a

In them to come back for a winning
