At San Francisco San Francisco 5-5. Los Angeles 2-2. At Los Angeles Salt Laks 7-10, Vernon 1-8 (second game 10 Innings). BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. Once a grain the player-limit bugaboo has bobbed up to disturb the serenity Of, the Pacific Coast league There was no game at the local park yesterday between the Oaks and the Beavers, because of rain and, while the play ers .and bosses were standing1 around under the stands trying to keep dry and warm, the Vernon club came In for a bit of attention. - George Stovall, it appears, is fol lowing the same tactics that ran Ham '-Patterson out of the league last year, viz, disregarding league rules. The Coast League has a rule re quiring each club to carry at least ' four "bushers" in the list of 18 play ers allowed after May 1. The so-called "bushers" are players who have not completed one year's service in either class AA or major league ball. Vernon Has 16 Veterans. With the acquisition of Outfielder Chadbourne and Snodgrass, the Ver non club has 16 veterans, instead of 14, and Stovall is resorting to all sorts of subterfuges in his efforts to stop his club's losing streak. ; - And. too. In the face of a threatened penalty of $100 a day for Infraction of the league rules. Here Is Stovall's list of veterans: Catchers, Simon, Mitze; pitchers, tjuinn Mitchell, Johnson, Arellanes. Decan nlere'and Fromme; lnfielders. Griggs, McLetry, Galloway; outfielders. Doane, Daley, Mattick, Chadbourne and Snod grass. Stovall Exempt From List. 'Stovall is exempt from inclusion In the list because of his managerial toga, and Callahan, the shortstop, comes un der the "busher" label. "Stovall's only "out' is the disabling "of some players," pointed out Del Howard, Oak manager, who left Port ' land last night for Los Angeles to Imeet the Vernon club this week "'There's no doubt but that he has too ;many veterans. I understand he bus Jpended Daley for disability, followed t this with a suspension for Callahan, Jand later with a suspension for De ; canniere. He pulled a boot in the Daley ; matter, however, for he sent Daley out ' to pinch hit in one of the games last ;week. , Frank Chance Makes Complaint. "Personally, I don't care how many players he has, I would never com ; plain unless the matter was broached by somebody else. But as long as we have these rules they should be obeyed ;or rescinded." ; Frank Chance, of Los Angeles, Is 'said to be much perturbed over Stovall's actions. He has registered a complaint rwith President Baum. ; "Some of these managers will resort to anything when tney're slipping," Chance is quoted as saying. It should be no difficult feat to run a ball club according to the league rules. Manager McCredie, of the Port land club, has no fewer than eight of the so-called "bushers" on his roster of 118 athletes. . Beavers Carry 8 "Bnken." Some of these players men like Williams. Penner, Fincher and Hol locher are not "bushers" In any sense of the word, . except that they ' .come within the requirements asked by - the league directors. - Here is the Portland youngster list: v Hollocher. Williams, Pinelli, Helfrlch. Penner, Fincher, Harrington and Fitz patrick. All the clubs are living up to the rule except the ever-troublesome Ver ;non club. This stormy petrel of the ; Pacific Coast League should be laid over the league lap some day and dis ciplined so severely that there would .be. no more monkeying: with the maj vesty of the law. Even If the league jdoes cut to 16 players the present "rules should be lived up to until that time.

NEW YORK, May 6. Cold and rainy weather played havoc with the sched ules of the major leagues last week. Twenty-four games, 11 in the National and 13 in the American, were post poned. Wednesday, however, brought forth probably the best pitching of the year. Vaughn, of Chicago, and Toney. of Cincinnati, set up a record at Chicago, when they went nine innings without allowing a hit or run. Vaughn weak ened in the tenth and Cincinnati won, 1 to 0. The same day New York and Brooklyn battled 14 innings to a tie, the second extra inning tie game for Brooklyn in two weeks. Ames, pitching for St. Louis, held Pittsburg to two hits, winning 4 to 0. St. Louis Passes Giants. New York held its leadership in the National until Sunday, when St- Louis went ahead through a 4-to-0 victory over Cincinnati. St. Louis lost two games to Chicago and won two from Pittsburg during the week and with Chicago, which continued a winning pace, may be troublesome ror the East ern teams when the Western teams come East this week. Philadelphia and Brooklyn did not lose a game. Boston fell to seventh place and New York did not win a game. The tie for first place in the Ameri can League was broken and Boston, which took two (fames from Philadel phia, now has a commanding lead over Chicago, which lost three out of four games. St. Louis climbed from sixtn to sec ond place, and is followed by New York. The Browns made tne rirst triple piay of the season at the expense of Cleve land on Monday. Philadelphia fell back, but Detroit showed a flash on Its theoretical strength and came through the week with a clean slate. The Eastern teams in the American League will begin the first Western invasion May 10. Baseball Summary. STANDINGS OF THE TEAMS. St. Louis. . New York. Chicago. . . philadelph. Boston St. Louis. . .

He owned 1347 shares of preferred stock and 2373 shares of common stock in the Federal League clubs, which was set down as of no value. Charles A.
