BT BOSCOB FAWCETT.
Portland won lta fifth consecutive
gam, yesterday, defeating Los Angeles
In the second game of the series, 6-4.
Denny Wine's two-bagger with the
bases full In the second Inning proved
the deciding factor. Wllle rampaged
around all afternoon, for he hit safely
his first four trips to the plate. His
Tycobblshneos boosted the Beavers to
an even .500 per cent.
.Hall receipted for the beating, and
young George Helfrlch, a Bpltballer
who is coming fast, twirled for the
Beavers.
Manager McCredie came within an
ace of letting Helfrlch wander bach to
dear old Harrlsburg, N. T., last Spring,
and now Mack donubtless Is glad he
didn't. Yesterday's victory signalized
Helfrlch's third straight win since the
team came home.
Helfrlch la Effective.
It was a well-merited victory, Hel
frlch allowing but eight hits as
s gainst a curtain fire of 17 lusty
pokes at the expense of the veteran
Hall.
Tortland opened with a fusillade of
hits as early as the second. Williams
singled to right, but was out stretch
ing: Sigllii singled past third; Fisher
singled to right: Helfrlch singled to
center, scoring Slglin; Hollocher sin
gled to right; Rodgers singled to cen
ter, scoring Fisher; Dennle Wilis fol
lowed with a two-base slam against
the right-field fence, clearing the bases
and making five runs and seven hits
for the Inning.
The Beavers scored their final run
In the eighth on Vaughn's error and
hits by Hollocher, Rodgers and Farmer.
Los Angeles scored two of the four
Angelic tallies In the fifth on Gleich
mann's single, a walk, a single by
Maggert and an infield out. Just be
fore the close of the game. In the
ninth inning, with the score 6-2, Hel
frlch let down the bars and a single
to right by Maggert brought in the
two other Angel scores. Gleichmann
began by walking an$ advanced to
third on Davis' two-bagger down the
left-field foul line.
Fanner Makes Nifty Catch.
Although the clouds threatened to
spill a little moisture now and then,
the weather man behaved and there
was a crowd of 2500 or 3000 fans In
the stands.
Meusel sank a spike Into Borton's
foot at first base In the fourth inning
and Babe took a layoff. Stumpf filled
In at the initial sack.
A nifty catch by Jack Farmer fea
tured the fielding. Brenton Will twirl
for Portland today at 3 o'clock. Score:

MOUNT AXGEL HAS FAST TEAM
Collegians Will Try Conclusions
With Cliemawa Saturday.
MOUNT ANGEL, COLLEGE, St, Bene
dict, Or., May 9. (Special.) The Mount
Angel College baseball team will play
the Chemawa Indians next Saturday.
In the early part of the season Kae
berger, the college twlrler, held the
fast Indian team to a one-hit, no-run
game. Since that time the Indians
have improved considerably.
The college team has a stronger
team this year than early indications
gave promise. Owing to a prolonged
rainy spell the schedule was opened
late. Up to the present time the col
legians have given four defeats to
their opponents. The four victories
have been due greatly to the excellent
twirling of Sohler and Kasberger.

SALT LAKE BEES
ARE GOING STRONG
Bernhard's Men Hammer Their
Way to Top in Coast
League Flag Race.
PITCHERS PERFORM WELL
Shcely at First Filling Brief's Shoes
Nicely Mormon Aggregation
Are Now Real Contenders
for 1917 Pennant.
Are Bill Bernhard's Salt Lake Bees
going to cop the pennant?
This Is a question which Pacific
Coast League fans are asking. Since
the Utah metropolis entered Class AA
In 1915 It has always had an array of
swatters who could hammer the ball,
but the Bee pitchers usually needed
seven or eight tallies in order for the
team to be insured of a victory.
True, Salt Lake had some real
chuckers on Its payroll both in 1915 and
1916, namely. Claude Williams. Paul
Fittery, Bill Piercy and two or three
others, but as a whole the pitching
Btaff scarcely measured up to Coast
League class.
Fast Clip la Struck.
After only a fair showing at home
at the start of thls.season, Bernhard's
men hit the road at a terrific clip.
They took the first series on foreign
soil, took five out of seven from Ver
non at Los Angeles last week and have
taken the first two games from San
Francisco this week. The murderous
batters on Bernhard's payroll, aided
and abetted by his pitchers, white
washed the Seal Rocks City brigade. 2
to 0, Tuesday, and yesterday spread
some more whitewash, piling up eight
runs for themselves.
Rube Evans, ex-Beaver, allowed San
Francisco but five scattered hits Tues
day, while Southpaw Chester Hoff gave
but six yesterday.
Salt Lake has kicked San Francisco
off of the top rung of the ladder and
promises to stay there for a time at
least.. It has won 20 and lost 12 games.
Although Earl Sheely had been do
ing wonderful work "at first base be
fore the sale of Bunny Brief to Pitts
burg was announced, some of the wise
acres were prone to make remarks
about Sheely falling down at the in
itial corner In the long run. But Sheely
has shown no signs of weakening.
Sheely is a cinch to draw the Job regu
larly.
Anether Catcher Needed.
Earl has been playing a wonderful
fielding game and has been hitting the
ball hard and often. -He bids fair to
start another home-run streak for the
Salt Lakers. Already he has four to his
credit.
It Is Imperative that the club get
another catcher to assist Truck Han
nah. Until the sale of Brief It was the
plan to use Sheely as relief catcher,
but since Bunny will not be with it,
another catcher is a necessity unless
Bernhard meets the situation by getting
,an other player who can play first base
wnen &neeiy goes oeninu tne ruuber.
This latter move Is unlikely, for the
bqokane boy has made his mark In
Brief's shoes.
With outfielders like Tobln. Buddy
Ryan, Tommy Quinlan and Jimmy
Shlnn hitting the pellet far and often
infielders as steady as Sheely. Morrle
Rath, Billy Orr, Gaard Glslason and
Karl Crandall, a catcher who is a work
horse and a pitching staff that appears
to have hit a rapid gait already, it's
hard to see how those Kees are going to
be kept down.
Salt Lake has three routhpaws in
Evans, Hoff and Leverenz. Jean Dubuo,
Ollie Kirmayer and Long Tom Hughes,
right handed, ought to be able to hold
their own. Watch the Bees! .
Two ex -Ilea vera Going Well.
A peculiar feature of the Bees
strength is that two of the stars of the
club, Buddy Ryan and Rube Evans, per
formed in Portland uniforms aid were
practically discarded by the Beaver
boss. When McCredie let Buddy Ryan
go two years ago he was of the opinion
that Ryan's knee would never permit
him to gambol about In the outfield as
he was wont to do in 1.he past. But
even the handicap of an attack of ap
pendicitis that struck him down Ills
first season with the Pees, followed by
a serious operation on his skull, failed
to daunt the former home-run king of
the Portland club. Ryan lias been play
ing great ball for Salt Lake the past
two years.
McCredie turned Evans over to Spo
kane because he refused to take care
of himself in 1!)1". The eccentric one
went to Spokane and finished one,
two, three among the pitt-hors there.
Rube looks to be in for a great seawem.

Attempt to Re Made to Arrange Match
at Oakland Between Mike Gib
bons and Battling Ortega.
Eddie Kane, manager of Mike and
Tommy Gibbons, left yesterday after
noon for. San Francisco. The two
world's champions remained here, and
they will put on a boxing exhibition
at the stag social to bo held at the
Elks flub tonight. Both St. Paul boys
are Elks.
Kane will attempt to arrange a
match between Mike Gibbons and Bat
tling Ortega at Oakland. It is not
likely that the Gibbons boys will he
allowed to perforin In San Francisco
unless they box each other in an ex
hibition bout. Exhibition affairs don't
draw houses, and Kane will make sn
attempt to get a match for Mike with
Ortega at Oakland before Tommy
Simpson's club.
Ortega has beaten everything that
has come. his way In the last year and
Is" a tremendous card In the Seal Rocks
City. A match between him and the
world's champion will fill, any hall
around the Golden Gate. San Fran
cisco fans will flock across the ferry
to see the greatest boxer In the world
perform.
Mike and Tommy Gibbons will leave
Portland within a day or two, or Just
as soon as they get word from Kane
as to what Is going on. "There are
just two matches that I would like to
land for Mike," said Kane Just before
departing yesterday. "One Is with Al
McCoy and the other with Les Darey.
"McCoy la no card any more, as he
ean't fight, but he will draw a tre
mendous crowd with Mike, for every
one In the East believes that Gibbons
can stop him In ten rounds. We are
anxious , to box Jiarcy, for Mike .can
beat lilm easily, but I don't presume
we'll land that match soon, for the
Australian Is barred In most stales, and
as I have said before, Mike must re
ceive 163,838 for his end. We oould
have cot It onoe and will have to ask

CATCHERS MOVE UP
Backstops Often Make Best
Baseball Managers.
MANY LEADERS ARE CITED
Connie Mack, Chance, Wolverton,
Moran, Robinson and Mitchell
Once Were Receivers Wise
Catchers Big Aid to Teams.
With each succeeding season it la
becoming more evident that players
who have been catchers maJce the best
managers. - Connie Mack was the first
of the backstops to prove that men
who labored behind the plat made tbe
Ideal leaders.
Then along came Frank Le Roy
Chance. The man who is in Portland
now with the Los Angeles baseball
team, the "Peerless Leader." gained
most of, his fame at first base, but
Frank Joined the Cubs right out of
Washington Academy as a catcher.
Harry Wolverton once was a re
ceiver, and even today he often catches
his pitchers, in batting practice and
when they are warming up. But like
Chance. Harry rose to fame as an in-fielder.
Pat Moxan and Wllbert Robinson
have been big successes as managers.
They were both backstops, and now
comes Fred Yapp Mitchell, of the Chi
cago Nationals.
It is easy enough to understand why
catchers make good managers. The
good catcher is the man who- guides
his team on the defense, because he
Is the only man on the team faced by
all his comrades. Performing this duty
day after day naturally makns him a
leader.
If a team's catcher is not a wise
man, the team's defense will be far
below average. All great teams have
had at least one good catcher. The
old Cubs had Johnny Kling, the Giants,
wnen they were at their best, had
Roger Bresnahan. and the Athletics had
Wally Sehang.. The Brooklyn team last
season showed at its best when Lew
McCarthy was behind the nlate.
That the wise veteran catchers are a
grea help to a ball club was shown 1
the wonderful effectiveness of tha
Cubs pitchers when Pat Moran was the
wruos coach.
Of course, there are cases of where
catchers failed as leaders. Rowdy El
liott, In the Coast League last year, is
an example. Roger Bresnahan never
had any success as a pilot. But when
ono thinks of Bill Carrigan and the
many other marvelous pilots who for
merly caught, he has to hand it to the
man with the protector and the glove
wnen n comes to driving men.
