BY ROSCOB PAWCETT.
With approximately 4000 tans in the
stands and bright Summer weather on
tap. Portland succeeded in dropping
a double-header to Loo Angeles yes
terday, making four straight defeats.
Portland won the first three games, so
the final matinee yesterday carried
with it the series.
The scores were 4-1 and 5-1.
Jacques Fournier, hard - hitting
Frenchman who rings fares in a Ta
coma streetcar during the Winter
months, knocked two of Kenneth Pen
Tier's fast balls over the rightfleld
fence in the first game and clinched
that engagement for the visitors.
There was nobody on the bags either
time.
Crandall twirled airtight ball, allow
ing only four hits, as against 13 off
Penner.
Kenworthy spiked Babe Borton at
second base in the seventh inning and
cut a small artery in his little toe.
Borton was forced to leave the game
and Siglin covered first the rest of the
day, Pinelli going to third. Dr. J. D.
Sternberg, who responded to the um
pire's call for a physician, said that
Borton likely would be able to play
within two or three days.
Possibly his absence disheartened the
boys. At least they gave up the ghost
without much of a struggle in the sec
ond game.
Brown Holds Beavers.
Southpaw Charley Brown, whom the
Beavers knocked out of the box last
Tuesday, held the boys to five hits and
Portland's only run came in the ninth
Inning as a sort of gift following
Rodgers two-bagger. The Angels let
Rodgers steal second without wiggling
an eyelash and Fournier permitted him
to gallop home on an infield out.
Oscar Harstad essayed to twirl for
the Beavers, but probably Oscar wished
lie had remained home to plant the
family begonia bulbs when the fifth in
ning hove across the horizon. Two
walks and Ellis' single filled the bases
in this inning and two of them scored
on a two-bagger Into left field by Red
Killefer. The auburn-haired outfielder
romped homeward with the third regis
tration a moment later on a double
eteal in conjunction with Terry.
Lynn Brenton relieved Harstad mid
way in the fifth inning and one of the
five runs is charged to his account.
Two "double" freaks helped keep the
crowd amused during the second mas
sacre one a freak double play and the
other a freak exhibition of double um
piring. In the fourth Inning, with Terry on
third and Kenworthy on first, Fournier
cracked a single to right field, Ken
worthy making third on the hit. Wilie
threw to Hollocher to head off Fourn
ier and the boys caught Fournier be
tween bases. After see-sawing back
and forth a while, Kenworthy made a
break from third, whereupon he be
came a human shuttlecock. Baldwin
finally tagged Kenworthy and, by a
hurried throw to Hollocher at third,
got Fournier in the same action.
ITmpirins Decision Unique.
The double play shows in the box
score as follows: Wilie to Hollocher to
Siglin to Rodgers to Baldwin to Pinelli
to Baldwin to Hollocher.
Red Held and Kitty Bra shear fea
tured In the umpiring freak. Both ar
biters tried to put in an oar on a de
cision at third base. Held calling Meu
eel out and Brashear calling him safe.
Brashear, who, as umpire In chief, ruled
the field, should have stuck to his
original decision, which was correct.
Instead, he let Held's decision ride and
brought down upon himself a heated
argument with Kenworthy.
When plays are made consecutively
nt first and third bases It is the field
umpire's duty to cover first and the
home plate, umpire's Job to exercise a
paternal guard over third base.
And anyway, Meusel slid in safely by
n furlong.

SAX FRANCISCO, June 17. Harry
Wolverton, for three years manager of
the San Francisco ball club, today was
released by owner Henry Berry. No
reason was assigned by Berry except
that there were business differences
between the two which made a con
tinuance of their relations as employer
and employe impossible. Berry said
that Wolverton's contract ran until the
end of the present year, and that his
salary would be paid in full for the re
malnder of the term.
Following the game today, when the
Seals heard that Wolverton had been
deposed, there was a meeting of the
players in Berry's office and Berry was
called upon to explain his action to the
members of the club. The players said
that he satisfied them that the release
of Wolverton was In no way connected
with the recent move for salary reduc

Berry said that the business affairs
of the club will be handled by himself
hereafter. Jerry Downs is to be field

Fear of Life in European Trench
Is Said to Have Been Cause
for Sudden Change by
Eccentric Player.
Haunted, it Is said, by fear of Ufa
in the European trenches, Walter
Malls unceremoniously quit the Port
land Coast League baseball club yes
terday to accept a Job at one-half the
salary In a Seattle shipbuilding plant.
The eccentric southpaw pitcher's
friends assert that he quit the club be
cause W. W. McCredie refused to guar
antee his full salary to the close of the
Coast League season. President Mc
Credie denies the assertion.
'Mails has a contract to the close of
the season with us calling for nearly
$300 per month," said the Portland
magnate. "He was not Included In the
list of players who were asked to ac
cept cuts in their monthly pay checks."

he didn't want to fight and as he
could make $6 a day as a helper and

Title Won for Seals in First Tear of
Management.
Harry wolverton's career in the
Coast League has been eventfuL His
Western career began at Oakland In
1910, and since then he has managed
two other Coast League clubs Sacra
mento and San Francisco.
He bought a half interest at Sacra
mento In 1914 and. not only did he go
bump, but he got the league in a sorry
iinanclal muddle. Each club had to
pungle up several thousand dollars as
an assessment to straighten out the
tangle.
The club was shifted to Salt Lake the
next year under a new manager, and
Wolverton found himself without n
Job. Suddenly one fine morning Henrv
Berry, new owner of the San Francisco
franchise, startled fans and brother
directors by announcing that Wolver
ton had been signed to manage his
club.
Wolverton won a pennant that year,
1915. for San Francisco, the first since
1909; last year his club finished second,
and the Seals are now In first place.
His release, therefore, on the surface
appears doubly mysterious.
The answer is said to be that Wol
verton spends more on his ball team
than comes in at the box office. Judge
McCredie levelled this charge at Harry
following his Sacramento bubble, but
Wolverton laid his trouble that year to
the foggy park at San Francisco, since
abandoned. Wolverton says If San
Francisco had drawn good crowds that
year he would have come out right at
Sacramento.
It is plainly evident that Wolverton
and Henry Berry had some argument
over the Seals' salary roll and that this
led up to his release. Personally. Wol
verton Is a high -class man, both on
and off the ball field.
Marshall-Wells Beats Rounders.
The Benson Rounders, under the man
agement of Herman Politz, claimants
of the championship of the Midnight
League, suffered defeat at the hands
of the Marshall-Wells nine yesterday
morning. 13 to 9. Allwln, Berg and
Gleskes formed the winners' battery
opposed to Politz and E. Wagner.
Smith, Fleskes and Stass were the
demon sluggers of the session. Marshall-Wells
made 14 hits and three
errors against seven hits and three er
rors for the Rounders.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 17. (Spe
cial.) An Indian with blood in his eye
and murder in his heart, swinging
baseball bat and chasing a white man
who was fleeing for his life was the
biar feature of the ball game today.
Dan Murray, catcher of the Oaklands,
owes his life to the fact that he dodged
lust in time and showed some wonder
ful fast footwork, for Indian Smith, of
the Seals, had every intention of lay
insr him low.
The big doings happened in the fifth
Inning. Smith was at bat and Murray
was squatting down and making re
marks to him. The Indian resented it.

Failure of Tthelr Pitcher.
NEW YORK. June 17. See-saw races
continued last week in the major
leagues, especially the National, and ex
cept for the New York teams none of
the first division contenders showed
any marked improvement. That also
Is true of those in the second division.
In the National, New York apparent
ly recovered from the setback dealt by
Cincinnati and after losing to Chicago
Sunday came through the week with
five straight victories. On Saturday
New York again took the lead. Chi
cago fell back during the week, but
there was little change among the
clubs.
Chicago retained the lead in the
American and improved its standing
slightly, but mostly because Boston
was unable to get going again. In
the series with St. Louis. Boston took
only one out of the three games and
lost the first two of the series against
Chicago Friday and Saturday.
The champions are not hitting and
Barry's strong pitching staff has lost
its cunning for the time being.
