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;or rescinded."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.
