BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Portland won a. crazy-quilt game
from Vernon yesterday by the whole
sale score of 11 to 10. It Isn't consid
ered good baseball etiquette nowadays
to toss oft a game after a player has
made two home-runs, one with the
bases full, giving- his team a five-run
lead, but that is precisely what almost
occurred in the young life of Jack
Farmer, Beaver outfielder.
Farmer hit a homer Into the left
field bleachers off "Chief" Johnson In
the fourth inning- and followed with an
other terrific swat into the bleachers
In the seventh with the bases full, scoring-
four more. Jack's second home
run put the Beavers in the lead, 8 to 3.
Nobody had a suspicion of impending
tragedy or near-tragedy. Until light
ning struck with a terrible suddenness
It looked like a cinch local win.
Penner la Bumped Hard.
Penner couldn't stand prosperity.
Tl'hen he saw the cold figures hoisted
upon the scoreboard he put his fingers
. to his nose and went down for the last
time. Hits and walks splattered all
over the horizon. Griggs poked a dou
ble good for two runs and Chad
bourne belted in another before Houck
could be rushed into the trench.
Byron grabbed a toe-hold Just in
time to receipt for a two-base thump
by Pete Daley with the bases full, scor
ing three more and making It six runs
for the inning.
When the Indigo atmosphere clari
fied sufficiently to permit a squint at
the scoreboard the 1500 horrified fans
beheld the tables reversed, with the
-Tigers leading, 9 to 8.
Vernon added another run off Hel
frich in the ninth on a walk, bunt and
Galloway's hit, making It 10 to 8, and,
doubtless 10 to 8 it would have re
mained but for another pinch swat
by that little Italian utility star, Ralph
Pinelll.
Farmer Gets) Total of 3 nits.
Williams began the last of the ninth
for the Beavers with a line drive to
short, McLarry pulling a brilliant stop;
farmer cracked a. two-base shot down
the right field foul line, his third extra
base wallop of the afternoon. Will
iams scored on Fisher's infield hit, and
Qulnn, who had succeeded "Chief" John
son, wild-pitched Farmer home with
the tying registration.
T Walter McCredie thereupon beckoned
Pinelli off the first base coaching line
to bat for Helfrlch. Pinelli staved off
any plans for a speedy transfer to Spo
kane by belting a line drive past Griggs.
Fisher had run all the way from first
to third on the wild pitch and it was
necessary only tp trot home on Pinelli's
lusty poke.
Tigers Protest Decision.
Vernon players surrounded Umpire
xirasnear as eoon'.as the game ended,
protesting bitterly.'ajrainst his decision
calling Fisher safe at first base. Man
ager stovairs language could be heard
plainly in the stand, and it wasn't al
together fit. There appeared to be just
ls mucn justice m a kick on that rte
cision as there was In Portland's pro-
ieBi against Mitze being called safe at
home in the eighth. Which is to say
that the umpires undeniably were right
in both cases. Griggs' foot wasn't
within 10 inches of the first sack when
Fisher crossed the base, and, with all
due regards to the eyesight of Messrs.
Galloway, Stovall, et. al., it is doubtful
if the throw could have headed him off
anyway.
Our old tllHcum. Walter Doane, saved
the Tigers in the early innings by a
nifty catch of a long drive by Fisher

C. B. LYNN WINS CONTEST
Prize Offered at Portland Clnh
by Hugh Gearln and Players Are
Heinrlcli Schmidt, R. Wilhelm,
Rnssel Smith, J. R. Straight.
Even when the gallery in a golf
game is primed in the search of rule
infractions they don't catch them. An
nalysis of the lists turned in by Port
land Golf Club members folio wine- the
nlque rule-breaking competition Me
morial day afternoon revealed that,
although the four crack golfers pur
posely violated 33 cardinal rules of
golf, 12 was the most caughto by any
one member of the large gallery that
followed the match.
t B. Lynn, treasurer of the club.
urned in 12 correct discoveries and
seven incorrect answers, and won the
rize donated by Hugh Gearln. Mrs.
E. Canada finished second, with
seven correct and six incorrect. Dr.
M. C. Holbrook was third and Mrs. H. L.
Pratt fourth.
Nearly everybody In the gallery
seemed to be of the onlnion that it was
illegal to take practice iwrnea on the
ee within a club length of the ban.
This Is not true, although the rule
holds good in the fairway. Still others
marked as penalties practice swings
n which the players were far enough
removed from the ball, but were facing
the hole.
Gallery Is Fooled."
The four plavers. Helnrich Schmidt
Russel Smith. RudolDh Wilhelm and
R Straight. Invented many clever
evices for "putting across" their rule
fractures. On one hole Russel Smith
invited a few friends In the gallery
to help hunt for his ball and every
body obligingly turned In to "beat"
the long grass. Only one follower
marked the infraction.
The list of correct breakages com
piled by the committee, consisting of
George F. Anderson, W. C. Bristol, H
Keats and Sam B. Archer, and signed
by the players, follows:
First hole Straight pressed down grass
behind ball; Schmidt picked up opponent's
ball without permission when ball In play
Schmidt took practice swing on second shot
within club length of ball; Schmidt putted
first when opponent was away. Four viola
tions.
Second hole Wilhelm played out of turn;
Schmidt crossed opponent's line of putt:
Schmidt putted out of turn; Wilhelm lifted
ball across opponents line; Schmidt pulled
grass and smoothed putting green. Five vio
lations.
Niblick Is Crounded.
Third hole Smith allowed gallery to help
search for ball in rough; Schmidt played
out of turn twice when opponent further
way; Wilhelm played out of turn on green;
Schmidt crossed opponent's line of putt;
Smith grounded niblick in bunker back ol
green. Five vioiationa.
Fourth hole Straight pulled grass be
hind ball: Smith permitted gallery to help
search for ball; Straight took practice swing
ithln club length of ball in rough. Three
violations.
Fifth hole Schmidt asked gallery for ad
vice on distance to hole; Schmidt pounded
ground behind his ball with brassey; Wil
helm pulled grass behind ball. Three vio
lations.
Sixth hole Schmidt asked opponent s ad-
ice on club to use. Wilhelm advising him
ow to play the hole; Straight took prac
tice swing within club length or ball;
Straight played mashie out of turn tp-
roachlng green; Wilhelm and Straight
layed out of turn on tee. Four violations.
Seventh hole scnmiai ana wiineim
crossed line of Smiths putt on green:
chmldt pulled grass In line of putt. Two
iolatlons.
Bighth hole Schmidt asked gallery ana
opponents for distance to hole, t-cnmiat s
caddy removed flags stuck in fairway more
than two club lengtns trora Dan; bcnmiai
scraped line of his putt on green. Three
violations.
Ninth hole Straight pressed down rough
behind ball for better shot; Schmidt walked
on opponent's (Straight's) ball and moved it
three feet, stralgnt playing Dan to green
without replacing; Wilhelm took practice
wing within club length of ball: wilhelm
putted on green out of turn. Four viola
tions. OLDHAM IS STRIKEOUT KIXG
Seal Pitcher Leads' With 63 "Whiffs
and Erickson Is Next With 61.
Red Oldham, of the Seals, is strike
out king of the Pacific Coast League
for the first eight weeks of the 1917
season. Olaf Erickson, his teammate.
the only hurler in the league who
Is giving Oldham a race for the hon
ors. Jack Ryan, of Los Angeles, is a
poor third. Johnson, of Vernon; Bren
ton, of Portland, and Quinn, of Vernon,
come straggling along for the next
honors. Then comes Bill Steen, giv
ing the Seals three of the leading nine
strikeout pitchers who have more than
30 victims to their credit.
Oldham has picked on Portland for
most of his victims, having fanned 21
of the Beavers among his 63 strike
outs thus far. Oakland has been his
chief stumbling block In piling up a
strikeout record, the Oaks falling vie
tims before Oldham only seven times
In three games he has faced them.
Erickson. on the other 'hand, has
picked chiefly on the Oaks, his 17
strikeouts last week against Howard's
squad giving him a total of 24 strike
outs In. the three games ne nas iacea
the Oaks.
Oldham leads with 63 strikeouts;
Erickson has 61; then come Ryan with
52, Johnson 45, Brenton 34, Quinn 33,
Steen 33, Penner 31 and Hoff 31. No
other pitcher has fanned more than 30
batters up to the opening of the ninth
ik of the race. Every club except
Oakland has at least one representa
tive among the nine pitchers who
have fanned 30 or more men. ' Bill
Burns is the best bet In Howard's
camp, with a total of 26 strikeouts.

istratloa Day by Svrltehlnsr
Schedules la Suggested.
It is possible that the Pacific Coast
League schedule will be jiggered
around a bit because of the conscrip
tion registration holiday, June 5. Ver
non is scheduled to leave Portland
Sunday nip;ht for home to open Wednes
day against the Seals. George' Stovall
doesn't like to see that Tuesday holiday
go by without some baseball action in
Los Angeles, so he telegraphed Presi
dent Darmody, of the Vernon club, last
night, suggesting that Los Angeles and
San Francisco remain In Los Angeles
for a double-header Tuesday after
noon. This will permit Vernon to stop off In
San Francisco for a double-header with
Oakland- Vernon has two or three
DOBtDoned games to play with the
Oaks.
Take the matter up with President
Baum," said Manager Stovall in his
telegram. "Suggest that reclpts. on
June 6 be pooled and divided equally
among the clubs as on other holidays."
If Stoyall's scheme is adopted by the
league, Los Angeles will not open its
regular schedule at Oakland until
Wednesday. Salt Lake plays in Port
land next week.

OREGOX TO CONTINUE SPORTS
Scope of Activities to Depend on At
titude of Other Colleges.
EUGENE. Or.. May 31. The . Uni
verslty of Oregon will plan athletic
activities for the year 1917-18 the same
as in normal times, according to an
announcement made today by Presi
dent P. L. Campbell, following a con
ference with the athletic council. The
scope of activities will be determined
by the attitude of other colleges on
the Pacific Coast and inroads made by
war upon the rankr of men available
for athletics, he said.
Intercollegiate athletics on the Pa
cific Coast were abandoned this Spring
largely on the initiative of the Uni
versity of Washington. The position
taken by the University of Oregon at
this time is that Intercollegiate ath
letics need not necessarily be dropped
because the country is at war. The
University is one of the first in the
country to take this stand.

The West is constantly showing
Eastern colleges something new, and
many of the things are highly com
mendatory. Reorganization of the
gymnasium work at the University of
California by Professor Frank L. Klee-
berger has been bo successful that the
university s physical educational de
partment is not satisfied with the tra
ditional method of merely measuring
the size of a student's arm and the
strength of his muscles, as shown in
the use of test machinery, but they now 1
require the students to show what use
they can make of their bodies and thus
arouse an eager desire to Improve agil
ity, skill and athletic ability.
Students of the University of Cali
fornia are exempt from class work in
the gymnasium and permitted to sub
stitute regular participation in some
athletic sport, provided that they can
meet the following tests for a good
body: Jump two and two-fifths times
as far as the student's own height;
hand vault obstacles as high as the
shoulder; chim himself three times;
run 100 yards In less than '13 seconds,
or less than 14 If he weighs more than
160 pounds; prove that he knows
enough about either boxing or wrest
ling or Jiu-jitsu to defend himself, and
that he has the ability to control him
self In the face of punishment; swim
50 yards; dive from a height of five
feet: swim five yards supporting a
helpless companion; use first aid meth
