Chief Johnson had a lot of stuff today and easily beat the Beavers, 7 to S. He did not walk a man and struck out eight. "Lefty" James, on the other hand, was wild and his passes proved costly, for they were followed with ro bust swats. With the Beavers crippled, with both HoHocher and Bill Rodgers out of the same, the patched-up infield cannot be blamed for the loss of today's game. Bill Rodgers will be in the game to morrow, and that will allow Siglin to go back to third base, and the Beavers will present a pretty good front. HoHocher was hit on the elbow by a pitched ball at Los Angeles last week and may not play In this series. Hun ter played a good game at short today.

ROXV MIDDLKTON IS DRAFTED Oakland ' Outfielder to Join Other Coasters Called to Colors. Another Pacific Coast League ball tosser will be wearing khaki this Kail Koxy Middleton, of the Oakland club. Looking over the old "hum" town paper yesterday, Roscoe Hurst, well-known Portland attorney, discov ered the name "Roxy Hugie Middle ton," tucked away in the maze of names. Middleton halls from Flat Rock, 111., and his draft number is 656. Two other members of the Oakland club, Harry Krause and "Hack" Miller, have been notified of the drawing of their numbers. Not one-half of the Coast League players have heard yet about their numbers, so the list of Coasters drawn probably will mount to nearly two dozen. A number of these, of course, will be exempted because of depend ents, but a number of the diamond athletes will be missing in September when Uncle Sam calls his cohorts to gether in training camps.

CLUB'S RECEIPTS HARD HIT Confidence Expressed That Presi dent 'Weeghnian Will Meet Obli gations War and Bad AVeather Cut Attendance. CHICAGO, July 31. Players' salaries due August 1 will not be paid tomorrow by the Cubs. This information, without further ex planation other than that the money will be paid on or about August 10, is said to appear on a notice posted on the clubhouse at Weeghman's Park. It adds, however, that any player In immediate need of money will get a part of his salary at the office of the president, Charles Weeghman. Payment Held Certain. The announcement came as a shock to the players, some of whom were in censed and on the verge of complain ing to the National Commission when calmed by cooler members, who as sured them that the personal wealth and reputation for sportsmanship of the club president and the stockholders made payment, even though slightly delayed, a certainty. Some "of the Cubs are reported to have complained that they have not been paid for the first half of July. They are paid twice a month ordi narily. . Failure to pay salaries is practically without precedent in the major leagues, but most of the players and those close to the Cubs' organization under stand that this has been an excep tionally bad year, the owners not only having the war depression to combat, but experiencing a wet and cold Spring which curtailed receipts considerably. Wealthy. Men Back Club. While the players maintain the delay in the payment causes them as much inconvenience as to a worker in any other line, there is every confidence that a 'thoroughly honorable attitude exists in the management. The Chicago National League club represented approximately $1,000,000 when possession was obtained by Presi dent Charles Weeghnian and the wealthy citizens who are associated with him. It is ' understood that han dling the interest on this investment under adverse weather conditions has been a difficult task for the club. The club's position in the pennant race, indicating its hopeleness as a contender, has cut its attendance in half, and this with war -economy and the taking of several thousands of young men, most of them fans, into the regular service and militia, reduces the receipts to a point that compares but poorly with past years. - War Hits Baseball. Since the war started, three years ago its effects have been felt in base ball. The Cubs, however, offer the first known instances of the European conflict visibly being felt by a major league club. Most of the minor leagues of B, C and D caliber have- suspended and the class AA clubs have not been making anything more than expenses. The difficulty In which the Chicago National League club, as a corporation, finds itself, may be duplicated in other cities of the circuit, baseball experts believe. 48 4 .401 44 4 .4- 3S .12 .422 Cincinnati.

TWOFAVORITES WINNERS ROYAL MACK TAKES !:17 TROT AXD THE SAA OY 2:05 PACE. Surprise Event In Opening Day1! Pro gramme at Kalamazoo Is Tramp A Bit's Victory In 2:11 Face. KALAMAZOO. Mich.. July 31. Strong favorites and an outsider -Captured the three races on the opening day's Grand Circuit programme here today. Tramp A Bit was the surprise in the 2:11 pace. After finishing ' sixth in the first two heats, Jamison landed him in front for the next three. Baxter Lou, who won the first two heats, barely escaped the distance flag in the third heat. Tramp A Bit's followers won J35 pools on $3 tickets. , Royal Mack, driven by Tommy Mur phy, was easily the class of the 2:17 trot, though Walter Cox sprang a sur prise by piloting Lu Priceton ahead in the third heat with the best time of the race, 2:074. The Savoy was a heavily-played fa vorite for the 2:07 pace, and though both miles produced whipping finishes the Cox pacer was always - equal to the emergency and won by a head in each heat. Tickets on The Savoy sold at 125 against $17 for the field. Wednesday's card carries the chief event of the meeting, the 10,000 Paper Mills purse, for 2:08 trotters. Busy's Iassie is picked to win, but as she faces an unusual field there prom ises to be heavy speculation on the outcome.

Astoria will have a regatta this year despite a rumor current a month or so ago that no regatta would be held. It is understood that F. C. Harley. Mayor, will manage' this regatta and that a formal programme for August 31 and September 1, 2 and 3 will be outlined. War Bulletins. rpHREE former Portland ball players A. in the big leagues were drafted Carson Bigbee. of the Pirates; Wynn Noyes, of the Philadelphia Athletics, and Joe Evans, of Cleveland. Edwin Fall, of Oberlin College, holder of the Western conference rec ord of 4:15 4-5 in the mile run, enlist ed in the Navy a few days ago. Fall has been running under the colors of the Chicago Athletic Association. With several so-called patriotic golf and tennis tournaments already out of the way, it is evident that the fans don't care whether they are published as championship tourneys or not. For Instance, the winners in the recent Oregon Patriotic tennis tourney are both technically and actually the state champions and they will be recognized as such in the years to come. There does not seem to be any par ticular reason why titles should not change hands so long as a tournament Is held with a representative list of entries. The fans and players need worry little over the non-recognition of a tournament as a championship af fair. The professional golfers' association in the East has set about to raise $5000 with which to place three ambu lances in the field in France. Profes sional stars are appearing in special matches and already $3000 has been raised. James O. Convlll, Park Superintend ent of Portland, is said to have ap plied for a berth in the Officers' Sec ond Reserve camp at the Presidio. which is due to open August 27. "Jim," as he is popularly known, was a famous football star at Utah and Purdue. Later he captained the Mult nomah Athletic Club gridiron crew. Three star athletes of Redlands, Cal., University, have joined the California Light Artillery. They are Oliver Weed, Charles Gillett and Dawson Pendle ton.
