BY ROSCOK KAWCETT.
Arthur Grirrs swunsr his bif? hllle
lah with reckless abandon yesterday,
and was largely instrumental in giv
ing Portland a. 7-4 victory over the
rampaging Salt Lake Bees, after two-j
successive deteats.
"Lefty" Leverenz did the twirling
for the visitors against Ken Penner.
and, though the hit column shows 10
off Penner and only nine off Leverenz,
the latter suffered streaks of extreme
wildness that cost him defeat.
Dennie Wiiie exhibited a penchant
for waiting 'em out. drawing three
walks and scoring twice. In the first
inning Leverenz walked four men in a
row, the last walk forcing AVilie home.
Leverenz BrlnKH In Three UunM,
The Bees scored three runs in the
second inning, however, when Leverenr
doubled to left field with the bases full,
following f'randalls single and a cou
, pie of walks.
This was the situation until the fifth
inning, when Mr. JSandow Griggs broke
into theox score with a large crash.
Arthur Sandow runs as if he had a
Kord in his back pocket, but once in
a while he connects in a manner cal
culated to break a pitcher's heart.
Hollocher led oft the fifth . Inning
with a single to center. After Rodgers'
fly out Wilie drew his third consecutive
walk. Griggs thereupon leaned upon
one of Leverentz' slants for a three
base slam a gainst the center field fence,
scoring Holly and Wilie and tying the
game.
Beavers Score Four In Klghth.
The Beavers broke the tie in the
eighth inning by scoring four runs, in
a flock. Griggs and Siglin singled, and
Parmer brought Griggs home with a
two-bagger to left field. Baldwin in
serted a hit to left at this Juncture
and scored two more, pulling up at
eeond base in position to score on
Hollochr's second hit.
Baldwin seemed to feel quite kitten
ish yesterday, for he cracked a couple
of balls for line drives. In the fourth
Inning "Red" hit the left field fence
j i luui ii viu ine lup lor a
two-ba gger.
Williams and Hollocher pulled a
couple of nice fielding pla3. About
12"0 fans were out. Score:

3 COASTERS MAKE GOOD
Bates and Soyes,. ei-Beavcrs, and
Bodie, ex-Seal, Are Praised.
Great Future for Hollo
cher Is Predicted.
Ira Thomas, former catcher and now
scout for the Philadelphia Athletics,
arrived in Portland yesterday to com
plete his analysis of Paddy Siglin, Ken
Penner and perhaps some other Port
land or Salt Lake players.
Scout Thomas didn't quite know how
to- take the report from the East that
Ray Bates and Wynn Noyes had noti
fied Connie Mack that they would quit
the team Saturday to join- the Army.
"Both these former Portrand players
were caught in the Army draft," said
Scout Thomas. "I think they Intend
to join some unit before the draft, but
with the understanding that they will
not have to go immediately. This would
enable them to play a few more weeks
with the Athletics."
The Philadelphia, brush-comber says
that ail three of his Coast League pro
teges obtained in his trip last Fall
Bates, Noyes and "Ping" Bodie have
made good with a bang.
"Noyes was coming stronger all the
time," he explained. . "Mr. Mack" he
always calls his boss Mr. "thinks
Noyes would have developed into a
wonderful boxman if the war hadn't
come along and claimed him. Bodie
used to have the reputation of being a
bonehead when he was with Chicago,
and Callahan didn't seem to be able to
get along with him. Strange, though.
Bodie is not a bonehead and he is not
hard to get along with. Mr. Mack was
greatly surprised with him. He thinks
Bodie is a smart ballplayer."
Scout Thomas is sweet on Charley
Holsocher, and. gauging his opinion on
what he has seen of hiin. he inclines to
the opinion shared by many Portland
fans, to-wlt, that Hollocher is destined
to become" a better ballplayer than
Ba ncrofr.
"Will there be big league baseball
next year?" was a query shot at the
visitor, as he lolled around in a big
divan at the Benson Hotel.
"Oh. yes," came the reply. "I think
so. The season may be-curtailed a lit
tle, but the teams have been drawing
well since the good weather set in and
I feel sure there will be baseball as
usual. I'ndoubtdly the world's series
will be played this Kail in view of
President Wilson's sponsorship."
Scout Thomas will leave tonight or
tomorrow for Seattle to dig around a
bit in the Shipbuilders' League.
From now on all of Uncle Sam's sol
diers and sailors will be admitted to
the Portland ball park at one-half
price 2a cents for grandstand seats
and 10 cents for bleacher seats. Judge
McCredie was at his hot springs when
the recent order from President Banm
came over the telegraph wires, so did
not know anything about the new edict
of the league executive until yesterday.
The judge also announced a double
header for Sunday, commencing at 1:30
o'clock.
The Philadelphia Athletics have pur
chased a young second sacker named
Palmer from the! rallas, Tex., club,
bossed by "Doc" White. Ira Thomas
recommended hi. i when he was .In
Texas a fortnight ago and he received
a message yesterday telling him of the
consummation of the deal

COLUMBUS. O.. Aug. 9. Three regu
lar events were raced today, in addition
to the unfinished 2:15 pace, and, in con
trast to the stiff competition of other
days,' not a single winner was forced
to go an extra heat to take down his
purse.
There was rather a warm argument
in the free-for-all pace in the last heat,
when Russell Boy's onrush made Jami
son touch Single G. with the whip to
win, but outside of that there was no
doubt as to the1 decision.
The stand saw two favorites lose
when Peter Schuyler, a favorite in the
2:18 trot, finished outside the money
even and Miss Harris M., second choice
early in the auctions, was bid up to the
favorite position before the race started
only to drop the free-for-all and finish
third in her first start of the year.
Lu Princeton, winner In the 2:15 trot,
was a first choice. Peter G., in the
2:15 pace, of which one heat was raced
Wednesday, kept on going good today
and won in straight neats. Summary:

CLARK GRIFFITH, manager of the
Washington Club, has been doing
a notable work in starting a fund for
purchasing bats, balls, gloves, etc., for
the Sammies at the front.
As a suggestion, it might be timely
to get a fund going for the benefit of
the football players who are going to
the front. Harvard. Tale. Princeton,
Chicago. Minnesota. Michigan, Califor
nia in fact, all of the great universi
ties will have many of their gridiron
stars in France before long some are
already there.
The boys could probably play In their
old khaki uniforms, but they could
doubtless use- some footballs, head
guards and shin guards.
A fund to provide these would un
questionably be popular. British Tom
mies have been playing their soccer be
hind the lines. Why not some good
old Yankee football?
With the departure of Elmer Oli-
phant. who is to join General Pershing's
forces in France, West point loses one
of its greatest athletes. In the big
"plebe" class, just taking up studies at
the West Point institution, is W. T.
Vandegraff, last season's captain of the
University of Alabama football eleven,
for several years All-Southern tackle,
and said to be one of the best punters
the South ever has developed. He is
proficient both in punting and drop
kicking. In 1915 he kicked four field
goals in one contest.
Maurice E. McLqughlin.

among tennis followers ns the .'Cali

singles matches in 1914. and three times

Unpopularity may not be the most
pleasant thing in the world, but it has
brought fortunes to several boxers.
Freddie Welsh is one of the number.
Freddie was not popular, but the
crowds would attend battle after bat
tie in which he appeared, hoping to
see him walloped.
Whether or not Welsh encouraged
this we are not in a position to state.
It is a fact, though, that many light
weights used to get newspaper deci
sions over Freddie in short battles.
Then, when they tied up in a longer
scrap. Welsh beat them up much to
the disgust of the large attendance.
Packey McFarland has not been : a
popular boxer because he refused to
make weight. let he cashed in on
this feeling.
Kilbane has been more popular since
tie was beaten by Benny Leonard. He
has proven to be a good loser, some
thing that rarely happens in the ring.
m
Christy -iathewson. who manages
Cincinnati and does literary work on
the side, came out in his weekly story
with a statement that he ould not
see how any team could beat
the Giants. And the day the story ap
peared the Reds showed their contempt
for their manager's opinions by win
ning both games of a double-header
from those same Giants. Manager and
players should get together. It is not
fair to cross Matty that way.
Miss Mary K. Browne, the California
girl who is representing the West in
the rou.d robin tennis tournament for
the benefit of the Red Cross, probably
will go to France soon as a Red Cross
nurse. Miss Browne has been studying
while engaged in the series of matches.
Her course has been virtually com
pleted and her appointment as a nurse
is expected within a month.
Teddy Thy, the Spokane wrestler,
will meet Gus Pappas, the Greek Lion,
