The visitors earned their run in the ninth on Gal loway's double. Pete Daley, Vernon's left fielder, was confined to his bed with ptomaine poi soning, and Gleichmann filled In at left field, wearing a first baseman's rnitt because of a sore hand. Decanniere started his own defeat In the first inning when he walked Hollocher and Pinelli. Wilie flew out to Chadbourne, but B-rton singled to center, scoring Hollocher. Pinelli took third, and when Grigcs Urove one at Galloway, the Vernor third Backer threw wild to first, allowing Pinelli to score and Borton to take second.

Hol locher was caught off first at this Juncture by a quick peg from Simon to Snodgrass. Galloway Converts Doable. Galloway doubled in the ninth, Wil liams tried to spear the ball with one hand, the ball rolling to the fence. On a wild pitch by Brenton. Galloway took third and scored on Callahan's out, Hollocher to Borton.

BOXERS EVENLY MATCHED Both Lightweights Fairly Known to Portland Fans Boats to Be Held at Vancouver on Friday Night. The officials of the Vancouver Ath letic Club yesterday signed Billy Wil liams to meet Billy Nelson over the 10-round route at their next boxing show, which will be held next Friday night, July 27. ' Both of these boys are fairly well known around Portland, as they have boxed here on several occasions. Wil liams recently returned from a trip East, where he met George Kelly, at Superior, Wis., winning from the home boy by a wide margin. He Is one of the coolest battlers in the country and should give Nelson an interesting ses sion during the 10 rounds. Nelson is confident that he can out-battle Wil liams and is backed up by his manager, Miles Coakley, the well-known Port land sporting man, who Is looking after Nelson's business. There will be three preliminaries on the card which will be good ones if the promotors obtain the boys that they are trying to get. Johnny Boscovitch, Jack Wagner, Charley Rooney, Soldier Bird and sev eral other good -boys have been men tioned as candidates for matches. Jack ("K. O.") Wagner, the battling Port land lightweight, will meet the win ner of the Nelson-Williams go. a few weeks after the bout. FAME OF OLD STARS RECALLED Darby O'Brien as Great in His Bay as Ty Cobb. Old-timers among the fans will re member with admiration Williarrl O'Brien, popularly known as "Darby," who was famous as an outfielder in his day as Ty Cobb is In this. O'Brien was claimed by the great reaper 24 years ago this month. He succumbed to consumption. "Darby" first gained fame as a member of the old New York Metropolitan team, but It was with the Brooklyn Nationals that he made his greatest reputation. He Joined the Dodgers in 1890, the year they Joined the National League. It was in this year that the Players League tried to break up organized baseball. O'Brien played left field for the Dodgers and led the club in bat work. his average being .314. He continued to star for several years until death cut short his career. Right here It might be well to men tion a few other stars of earlier days who rivaled the accomplishments of Ty Cobb. There was Lipman Pike, of Troy; Edward Cuthbert, of Philadel phia; Mart King, Dave Egglor, Albert Godney, A. J. Reach and Jim O'Tourke, all of whom were star performers In the National Association of the early 70s, the parent organization of the present National League. Don't get the idea that we of the present day have a monopoly of stars. There were plenty of them in the old days and they had to play a harder game, too. TRAPSHOOTERS NEVER GO BACK Best Marksman in Country to At tend Chicago Shoot. A law of sports as Immutable as the laws of the Medes and the Per sians" is: "They never come back." Trapshootlng shows no exceptions to this rule, but the reason why a trap shooter never comes back is simple he never goes back. To settle any question In the matter. all that is necessary will be to attend the grand American handicap, at the South Shore Country, Chicago, I1L, Au gust 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, where on the firinc line will be found many of the old guard of the grand army of clay bird busters. Among the veterans who will at tend the big shootfest are Tom Mar shall, Edward B: nks, W. R. Crosby, Fred Gilbert and Rolo Heikes, mem bers of the all-American team that in vaded the British Isles in 1901, and vanquished the Britishers despite the fact that the Englishmen fired "both barrels" In successive attempts to bring down each clay target while the Americans pulverized the saucers in much greater numbers, shooting with one barrel." PORTLAND ATHLETES DRAFTED "Cack" Blanchard, Baby Beaver, One of First Ellgibles Selected. On the third number drawn In the draft yesterday Vincent F. Plantich, better known as "Cack" Blanchard, was notified the Government had selected him.

SPOKANE TRAINER HERE "SPIKE HENXESSY SAYS INDIANS HAD GOOD TIC AM. "Lefty" Schorr, Who Tried With Bea vers, Held Excellent Prospect. Blgbee Pitched Good Hall. "Spike" Hennessy, trainer and coach of the Spokane club of the Northwest ern League, Is a Portland visitor en route back to his home at San Fran cisco. "Spike" pitched at Mount Angel College years ago under the name of McBurney. "We had the best club In the league at Spokane, and would have won the pennant If the league hadn't quit," said Trainer Hennessy. "Lefty" Schorr, the little southpaw who tried out with the Beavers last Spring at Marysville, pitched dandy ball for us. He won nine and lost five, and all his losses were low-score, tough-luck affairs. He de serves a trial In the Coast League. Lafayette, our first baseman, was sold to Cincinnati for $1700. He is a Spo kane high school lad. a left-handed hitter and a good prospect. Lyle Big bee, another ex-Beaver, pitched some very good ball and hit welL He was the fastest man on the club, winning the 100-yard dash in the field meet on Flag day." "Spike" Is a member of the Utah battery, and may be called out when he gets South. He passed six months at the border during the Mexican dis turbances last year. FOUR SPEED DEMONS TO RACE Mulford, Vail, Chevrolet and Cooper to Strive for Supremacy. OMAHA, Neb., July 19. Four promi nent automobile drivers Ralph Mul ford, Ira Vail, Louis Chevrolet and Earl Cooper, winners of this year's races will meet on the Omaha speedway in a match race, either July 2 8 or August 4, for the supremacy of the speedways, it was announced here today by Fred Wagner, veteran Ameflcan Automobile Association starter, who Is promoting the event. The distance to be run has not yet been decided, but It is believed U. will be 150 miles. Mr. Wagner plans to have each driver bring two machines, so that if one be comes disabled tho driver can leap into the other and continue the race while pitmen repair the first machine. It is the first time in history that four winners have been matched. Bits of Shrapnel. A GREAT boxing Instructor has re marked that "chopping wood la more beneficial to boxers than any other exercise, for Jt brings all muscles Into play." Doting mothers might pin these few lines over the woodpile in the basement. Swede Risberg recently got five hits in as many trips to the plate, a feat he has pulled twice In two games. Prospects for Ice hockey at Palm Beach do not look good for August. New York sport writers have one line set up and it Is used frequently: that Is, "Peck doubled to left." . The ex-Beaver shortstop is doing all the clean-up work for the Yankees. You've got to hand It to Matty's Bed for getting ahead of the Scent. In baseball the fastest working pitching ever was that of Christy Mathewson. When Matty worked, as a rule, you could figure the span of the game from an hour and 30 min utes to an hour and 40 minutes. He wasn't out there posing or chewing on the ball or making extended flour ishes. His Idea was to pitch. Having fine control, he wasted few throws. What he did counted. The result was a short game. Walter Johnson and Alexander are both along the same lines. Neither is a slow, deliberate worker. Both hustle their games along and rarely go be yond an hour and 40 minutes to achieve their ultimate destinies for the day. Games are delayed and held up by slow pitching more than by any other factor. And when the stars are pitching there is always less delay, with few excep tions. Very few of the great golfers belong to the deliberative, lagging type. Trav ers, Ouimet and Evans step up, hit the ball and move along. Bob Gardner travels along at a fast clip, taking very little time for his shots. John G. Anderson, Phil Carter and Oswald Kirby are three of the fastest workers in the game. Careful play Is all well enough, but too much deliberation kills Impetus. The slow golfer is very rarely a good player. Alexander Smith, twice open, champion, plays like a streak. Virtual ly every leading pro spins through a round at good speed. Delay and delib eration are too often merely a strain upon nervous energy. Read The Oregonlan classified ads.
