BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Plowing through mud ankle deep and
once interrupted for 10 minutes by a
miniature cloudburst, the Portland and
Salt Lake ball athletes got away with
their scheduled double-header yester
day at Vaughn street. Salt Lake won
the first game 2-0, and Portland turned
around and obtained revenge by blank
ing the Bees in a lop-sided matinee,
12-0. '
"Rube" Evans twirled the first game
against his erstwhile teammates, and
his left wing exuded so much mystery
that a mighty well pitched game by
Bill Fincher went for naught. Salt
Lake earned only one run, Ryan reg
istering in the fourth Inning on a walk,
Quinlan's bunt and Orr's two-bagger.
Borton presented tho visitors with
the other run by throwing wide to
third base. on an attempted double play
in the eighth.
Beaver Jnmp on Hoff.
Southpaws Malls and Hoff took the
field as opposing twirlers in the sec
ond affair, and Mails proved Just as
adroit as Hoff was maladroit.
up to me ninin jviaiis auowea only
two hits, one of these a scratch, due
to the muddy infield. In th-s ninth
"Buster" let up a trifle and the Bees
prodded his delivery for three addi
tional safeties, bringing their total to
five for the game.
Portland jumped on Southpaw Hoff
as early as the first inning, five hits
netting the Beavers four registrations.
Hoff got by then without trouble until
the fourth, when he began issuing free
transportation with all the lavishness
of a railroad traffic manager in the
days before the Interstate Commerce
Commission put the blinders on passes.
Four Va"' d in Fourth.
Hoff walked four men in the fourth
inning, besides allowing two doubles
and a single. Babe Borton cracked out
his first two-bagger in this inning
with the bases full and scored all three
runners. Bill Rodgers belted another
run across in this inning, and Hoff
walked the fifth home.
Manager Bernhard, the Salt Lake
sphinx, gave Hoff and Hannah a rest
at this juncture, sending out his
juvenile uii.Li.ri, ctumiiKie ana vress.
Schinkle receipted . for five of the 13
hits made by the Beavers, good for
three runs.
Rodgers' Catch Sensational.
Bill Rodgers gave further testimony
of his ability as a fielder in the second
engagement when he pulled a sensa
tional circus catch of a drive by
Hannah in right center. "Cap" is doing
wonderful work in the field this year.
Bill added a couple of notches to his
batting average, too, getting two hits
off Southpaw Evans and two off
Southpaw Hoff.
"Red" Baldwin, of Spokane, broke in
as a regular Portland backstop, wear
ing the breatt protector and the mask
in both matinees. Baldwin flagged
. reveral Bees endeavoring to waddle
from one base to another in the goo.
Baldwin hit tlte sphere hard a couple
of times, but never to unguarded ter-
ritory.
Weather Makes Crowd Small.
Intermittent rain storms and black
cloudbanks kept hundreds of fans
away, so the crowd numbered not to
exceed 3000. A terrific rain storm
threatened to halt all hostilities about
the fourth inning of the curtain
raiser. After 10 minutes, however, somebody
shoved the plug in and play was re
sumed. No newly waxed ballroom
maple had anything on the field for
slipperiness. Nearly all the athletes
enjoyed rides on that portion of their
-umiorms usually nevwea lo picKing up
splinters. Laundry bills this month
are going to add to the H. C. of L.
Salt Lake left last night for the
long jump to Los Angeles to play
Vernon. Series, three games apiece.

PLAYERS WILL BALK
AT GUTS Itl SALARY
McCredie Says Opposition
May Mean Shortening of
Season Month or Two.
YEAR IS BAD FOR CLUBS
Judge. McCredie Doleful When In
formed of Attitude of Athletes.
Qnlnn Closes Deal With
Beavers for Williams.
Pacific Coast League ball players do
not intend to stand for any slashing
of their bimonthly salary checks, even
as a last-resort war measure. This is
the emphatic reply of the Portland and
Salt Lake athletes, at least, to the let
ters sent out by the magnates asking
them if they would be willing to do
their share to keep baseball alive dur
ing these perilous days of war and
wet weather.
"We don't intend to stand for It," de
clared "Rube" Evans, the Salt Lake
pitcher. "Salt Lake players haven't
received their letters from the man
agement yet but we understand all the
league directors voted to try to cut
salaries.
"We expect ours within a day or two.
Cutting the player limit to 16 men
should lighten the league payroll suf
ficiently to permit the league to get
by."
Portland players are of the same
mind. They were supposed to keep
secret the fact that W. W. McCredie
had sent out letters to them setting
forth conditions but somebody leaked.
Yesterday the boys' were somewhat
warm about the collars when the sub
ject was broached to them.
We are not getting any too much
money now." said one of them. "The
league ought to be able to get by with
more settled weather in prospect."
When Judge McCredie learned of the
ballplayers' attitude, he sighed dole
fully and shook his head.
"We may be able to pull out all
right." said he. "But this has been a
bad year for the ball clubs. The re
fusal of the players to co-operate t,o
the extent of $25 to $50 per month
apiece may mean a shortening of the
season a month or two. After July 4
a number of leagues will have to close
and special dispensation undoubtedly
will be given them to do so and still
retain title to their men. Players should
not expect to be paid more than tho
clubs are taking in at' the gates."
Robert Quinn, business manager of
the St. Louis Americans, closed his deal
with Portland yesterday for the pur
chase of Outfielder Kenneth Williams.
Williams will not report to Fielder
Jones until next Spring.
Portland gets in the deal two ball
players and some cash. It is under
stood. Quinn telegraphed Fielder
Jones yesterday asking if he could
send a pitcher immediately to help
Walter McCredie. Jones replied that
his club was all shot to pieces and he
couldn't possibly spare anybody just
at this time.
Quinn left last , night for San Fran
cisco. "I spent several days looking over
the Northwestern League clubs," said
the St. Louis visitor last night. "I
didn't see a thing up there that looked
good to me. I wouldn't give a buffalo
nickel for- the Spokane and Seattle
clubs combined."
Louis Sepulveda, receiver for the
Portland club, received his five days'
notice of release yesterday. Louis
knew it was coming as soon as Bald
win Joined the club.
e
Ralph Pinelll will not be able to
play until the last of the week. Griggs
spiked him sliding into third base one
afternoon during the Vernon series,
and an X-ray photograph showed two
broken bones in his hand. The pleas
ant little Italian infielder sat In the
stands yesterday with his hand
strapped to a shingle and all bound
around with white bandages.

RACING AT CONDON CLOSES
Orderliness of Crowds Is Outstand
ing Feature of Meet.
CONDON. Or.. June 10. (Special.)
The fourth annual race meet given in
Condon closed today. The races were
fast, close and exciting. Much credit
is given to Ed Fortune, who had charge
of the meet for the local business men.
An outstanding feature of the meet
was the good order which prevailed
every day. Little, if any, liquor was
in evidence and not one arrest was
made for disorderly conduct. The meet
was a success financially as well as
in other ways. The attendance was
good each day.

turned with Fianigan.
Both of these boys made a big hit in
the Bay City and their services are in
great demand. AVing got off the bet
ter of the two. The little Albina bat
tler won three bouts. He met the" best
boy at his weight in the South and is
being hailed as a comer by Southern
sport writers.
Sommers boxed two draws and won
one bout. He Is going East to North
Dakota in a few days to visit his folks
and will be out of the game for several
months. Sommers is considered a be
ing the only middleweight in these
parts with a chance to beat Battling
Ortega, the California middleweight
sensation who recently beat Billy Mur
ray. Flanigan will be In town for a few
weeks and will then go back to San
Francisco with Muff Bronson and
Weldon Wing in tow.
Bronson left Winnipeg, Can., yes
terday for Portland and is expected to
arrive here by Wednesday. He will
meet Dick Kendall, Pacific Coast light
weight champion, in his first bout,
while Wing will probably clash with
Harry Pelsinger or some other good
featherweight there.
Before going back to San Francisco
Flanigan would like to arrange a bout
between Alex Trambitas and Wing to
be held in Vancouver. After the show
ing his boy made In the South. Joe is
confident that he can beat anything in
sight at his weight.
Kddle Campl arrived In Seattle
yesterday for his four-round bout
with Eddie Pinkham in that city, on
June 15. They will battle for the light
weight championship of the Northwest
and Canada. The bout will be held in
the Arena under the auspices of the
Canadian Club. Joe Harrahan will
meet Henry Gleason in the semi-windup.
Jack Wagner, Portland's candidate for
Northwest lightweight honors, wiy
step four rounds with Harry Casey in
the special event. The bout .. between
Wagner and Casey should be one of the
best on the card, as both boys are
hard-hitting, rugged boxers and are
mixing things all the time. Three
good preliminaries will make ud the
card, which is one of the best ever
presented in the Sound City.
Jess Willard is quitting the circus
he has been traveling with Just be-
fl QiraTaitfeea'by'
cause he figures that S3Q0O a week is
toas
Vy
not a big enough salary for his serv
ices. Willard has been receiving $300 a
day from the circus people, x with a
proviso that he also get 50 per cent of
everything more than $18,000 that the
circus takes in each week.
Evidently Jess has been making too
much money that way, for the circus
people complained and asked him to
agree to the cancellation of the per
centage privilege, which, as stated,
Willard refuses to do.
Carl Morris, the Oklahoma Giant,
may take his place in the circus, and
in that way force Willard to meet him
in a championship match.

LEAD IN NATIONAL SAWS
Phils Oust Giants, but Have Xo
Sinecure on First Detroit's
Attack Upsets Red Sox and
Lets White Sox Set Pace.
NEW YORK. June 10. With the 1917
baseball season two months old, neither
the National nor American League has
shown a combination strong enough
to hold first place and at the same
time gain on its opponents. Boston
showed winning form early in the sea
son, but since the games with the
western teams of the American, Barry's
men have not done so well.
In the National, New York found the
going hard in St. Louis and Cincinnati
last week, the Reds especially playing
havoc with the Giants' progress.
Philadelphia moved into first place
Wednesday, went lntoa tie with New
York Thursday and regained the lead
Friday. Chicago fell into a Blump the
latter part of the week and was shut
out three times in succession, twice
by Philadelphia and once by New York.
St. Louis and Cincinnati proved the
best teams of the week. The Cardinals
won five out of six and the Reds five
out of seven.
Hans Wagner came bacVc to the dia
mond Tl.ursday. The lure of the game
was too much for the veteran star,
and he patched up his difficulty with
the Pittsburg club.
Boston lost the lead In the American
mainly through three straight defeats
at the hands of Detroit.
Next to Detroit, Chicago made the
best record with four out of six games
played.
