BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
By winning: the first game Portland
made It six out of seven from the Seals
in the series completed yesterday.
Fincber outpltched Baum in the opener
and won, 8-1. "Chief" Johnson got bet
ter support than Brenton and was re
turned victor in the second. B-3. Ap
proxlmotely 4000 fans saw the double
bill.
Charley Hollocher had a field day at
bat, fretting: three hits in each encoun
ter. Siglln surprised himself by obtaining-
four hits in four trips against Baum
In the opener.
Downs Is Down-hearted.
Jerry Downs said last night that if
the Seals hadn't won the second game,
after losing six straight, he would have
pushed someone off the Broadway
Bridge, burned an orphans' home and
then committed suicide by inhaling a
bundle of barbed wire.
And Jerry looked the part along
about 3 P. M.
"They outlucked and outplayed us
all week up to the final game," said
Manager Downs last night, as he
boarded the train for Los Angeles.
The Seals scored their only run in the
first game on an error by Griggs.
Flncher pitched beautifully, holding the
visitors to four lonely hits, as against
a lusty 13 off Baum. The Beavers ran
the bags until their tongues were hang
ing out like a panting spaniel's.
Ralph Plnelil enjoyed the unusual
distinction of coming through with four
sacrifices in one game, three of them
bunts and one a long sacrifice fly. Of
ficially he appears at bat only once
during the first game.
Seals Get to Brenton.
In the second affair the Seals got to
Brenton in the third inning for three
runs. Baker walked; Fitzgerald
doubled; Holly and Pinelli gummed up
Pick's grounder, treating it like a ma
laria germ, and scored one, and Calvo
punched the other two home on a single
to centerfield.
Calvo's single and Schaller's two-bagger
added another in the fifth, and
Schaller's double and a passed ball by
Baldwin sent home the fifth and final
tally.
Portland got the jumps on the Seals
In the first Inning and everybody
thought the Beavers were due for their
seventh straight win. Holly singled
Infield but was doubled out. Wilie
cracked a two-bagger to center and
Williams scored him with a line drive
to right.
The Seals forged ahead, 3-1, in the
third and 4-1 in the fifth, but, if the
coacher had used good judgment on
third base in the sixth the locals might
have overcome this lead. Hollocher be
gun by lacing a triple to left; Pinelli
scored him by doubling to right cen
ter, and. after Williams' fly to Fitz
gerald, moved along to third. Borton
walked.
Poor CoachuiK Is Noted.
Griggs thereupon came through with
a two-bagger to centerfield, scoring
Pinelli. Borton should have been held
at third but. Ken Penner elected to
send him borne, and Downs' throw had
him a city block.
Baldwin's passed ball further
scrambled the situation in the eighth.
Billy Sullivan, former Chicago
catcher, drove to town in his flivver
yesterday, and sat on the Seals' bench
a part of the time late in the afternoon.
The Beavers blame Billy for breaking
the spell they had exercised over the
hapless Seals.

ROSS" SEEKS MORE LAURELS
Former Portland Swimmer to Try
to Break Pomeroy's Record.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., July 15.
(Special.) Norman Ross, the Olympic
Club swimmer, is going to attempt to
break the record of 20 minutes and 44
seconds for swimming from Fort Point
to Lime Point. This record is held by
Walter Pomeroy, the most celebrated
rough-water swimmer in the world.
Ross has been shattering records
with much regularity of late, and AI
Fape, the man who piloted Miss
Frances Cowells successfully In the re
cent cross-bay swim, is eager to see
Ross try such a swim. Fape offers to
act as pilot.
Ross should attempt to lower the
record very soon, for he has convinced
the southern fans that he is at present
in the best of condition. He is within
the age covered by the draft, and even
If his number is not drawn he declares
he will be among the aviators next
year.

IIONUS MITZE NOW WITH OAKS
Veteran Backstop, Released by Ver
non, Back In Former Fold.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 15. (Special.)
Honus Mitze, catcher, released by
Vernon, has caught on with Oakland.
He used to play with that club and
at one time was manager. A few years
ago he was looked upon as one of the
most useful backstops in the league.
An experienced catcher like Mitze
should help out the Oakland club. He
may be able to get Ray Kremer going
aeraln. A short time ago Kremer was
pitching great ball and looked like a
sure prospect to go DacK to tne Dig
league, but of late he has not been
going good.
Herb Hunter, infielder, was left here
by Vernon. He belongs to the Chi
cago Cubs and is here awaiting orders.

NEW STYMIE' RULE
IS FQUND WANTING
Element of Competition Re
moved, Declare Champion
ship Contestants.
CHANGE AGAIN IS MADE
Original Plan Devised by Western
Golf Association Worked Well
in Medal Play, as There Was
"So Lifting of Ball.
CHICAGO, July 15. The new-rule of
the Western Golf Association, abolish
ing stymies, was tried and found
wanting at the Western amateur cham
pionship at Midlothian and the rule was
changed by tho board of directors be
fore the final rounds, in which Fran
cis Oulmet yesterday won the title from
Kenneth P. Edwards, of Chicago, by the
narrow margin of 1 up in 36 holes.
The rule, as announced several weeks
ago, required that the nearer ball
be played first when both balls were
on the green, thus avoiding stymies.
The plan worked well In medal play,
as there was no lifting of the nearer
ball, and an average of 15 minutes' time
was taken off an 18-hole round with
out any detriment to the players, as
they were contesting the field Instead
of one man.
Match Play Shows Need.
When the match play started, how
ever, the contestants were loud in their
clamor for a change in the rule, and
President Charles F. Thompson, agree
ing with the players, had a new one
drafted.
The new rule abolishes stymies,
whether due to the faulty play of the
owner of the stymied ball, or to the
accidental position of his opponent's
ball, but requires the ball farthest
from the hole to be played first, unless
a stymie exists. In that case, the
nearer ball Is to be played first, or lift
ed, at the option of its owner. The
rule reads:
"When both balls are on the putting
green, if the player of the ball farthest
from the hole claims that the nearer
ball Interferes with his putt, the near
er ball, upon request, shall be lifted or
played, at the option of its owner."
Objectors Give Views.
It was contended by objectors to the
original rule that the playing of the
farther ball first removed some of the
elements of competition, allowed the
opponent to know Just what he had to
do after the other roan had holed out,
and made the owner of the nearer ball
play from two to three shots In rather
rapid succession.
UNDERTAKERS BEAT COLUMBIA
Newsboys Lose to Benson Rounders
by Score of to 6.
The Miller & Tracy nine won from
the Columbia Park team yesterday af
ternoon at the Columbia Park grounds,
6 to 2. Scott and McDonald formed the

Meyers. The feature of the game was
the excellent twirling of Southpaw
Scott, of the Undertakers. The Un
dertakers will play the prisoners at
Salem next Sunday.
The Benson Rounders won from the
Newsboys yesterday at the league
grounds, 9 to 6. Mew and Keilus
worked for the winners, while Scotty
and Rogoway worked in vain for the
Newsboys. Keilus got four hits in four
trips to the plate.

CINCINNATI, O., July IS. Samuel

This line in memory of the North

Although San Francisco went Into
the lead in the Coast League two
months ago and has held that place
ever since, it would soon.be out of It
if it played the Beavers "many series
like the one last week.
Tom Griffith, the Red's outfielder, has
been playing sensational ball for three
seasons, but on account of the position
of the club he was never noticed be
fore. In 1915, this was Tom's first
year in" the majors, he played in 160
games and hit for .307. In 1916 he
came back with .266, and so far this
season ha is bitting around .300.

LEAGUE PLAY ENDS
Great Falls Holds Claim on
Northwestern Pennant.
TITLE IS IN DISPUTE
Doubt Shown Over Failure of Lead
ers to Play Off Postponed Con
tests Four Teams to Start
New Schedule Today.
SPOKANE, Wash.. July 15. The
Northwestern Baseball League closed
its 1917 season today. Great Falls claim
ing the pennant. SDokane defeated
Butte in the mining citv, Great Falls
won from Tacoma at home, while Seat
tle defeated Vancouver at home, win
ning six out of the series of seven
games played last week, between those
two teams.
Tacoma led the league until recently
when the Montana teams of the league
began to find her pitchers and Great
Falls forged Into first place. Inas
much as Great Falls has the highest
percentage at the official end of the
season, she claims the pennant.
The league officials decided when the
question of closing the season was be
ing argued that the highest team after
today's games should be awarded the
pennant. There is likely to be some
dispute, it is said, over the fact that
Great Falls has not played off a num
ber of postponed games, which, it Is
thought, might make a change in the
present standings.
Seattle and Vancouver were to play
a post-series this week, but reports
n Spokane say this will not be possible
as a majority of the Seattle and Van
couver players are to Join the other
four teams of the league and play out
the season in Montana and Spokane.
Tacoma will play as the Billings ag
gregation, beginning tomorrow and
will hook up with Spokane at Spokane,
Butte will . play out the week with
Great Falls at Great Falls.
