The Beavers had four regulars hit ting better than .300 against the Oaks hurlers, but the best they could do was to win the series by a one-game margin. Inability to hit in the pinches cost the Beavers the two Sunday games, for, with the bases loaded on several occa sions the pinch hit was missing. Captain Bill Rodgers had the best average for the week, with a mark of .391. Rodgers singled three times in the first game Sunday, but couldn't score.

Gardner Williams ..24 Wilie 25 Baldwin . . S Houck . Harry Krause, the Oak southpaw. who used to draw salary from Manager McCredie, trimmed the Beavers twice last week. Since joining the Oaks Krause has become one of the best pitchers in the league. Handsome Harry can hit as well as he can pitch. and Sunday he cut loose with a single and a double, helping the Oaks to score. Any time Harry forgets how to pitch he can certainly get by as an outfielder on his hitting ability. Gus Gleichman, former Angel, now holding down the first sack for the Vernon Tigers, is commencing to hit again. He was traded to the Angels for a whole raft of players and was then released because he couldn't hit. Gus made life miserable for the Anjrels last week with his timely hitting. The Beaver sluggers will get the acid test this week against the Seals. Manager Jerry Downs will have Old ham, Erickson, Johnson, Baura, Smith and Decanniere. Including games end ing Sunday, Erickson has won 21 games and lost nine. Baum has won 19 and lost nine. There you have it; two pitchers on the same club winning 40 games and losing 18, giving a mark of 690, which Is better than the team's present standing in the league percent age. Indian Smith has won 11 and lost nine; Oldham has won 13 and lost 16. Decanniere and Johnson are new addi tions to the team. Both are dependable twirlers. Johnson has greatly improved since joining the Seals and now boasts of a mark of 13 wins and 18 losses, which makes him one of the most worked pitchers in the league. Decan niere lost his only start for the Seals against the Bees in last week's series. . Add to the pitching staff such hit ters as Fitzgerald, Maisel, Biff Schaller and Jerry Downs, the Beavers will have a hard row to hoe to get the series. On the last trip to Portland the Beavers took six out of seven from the league leaders and when the Beavers went south against the Seals the results were reversed. Harry Gardner, the new pitcher signed by McCredie, pitched good ball in his initial appearance Sunday. Bits of Shrapnel. Eddie Mensor got a homer inside the fence Sunday. The next thing we'll see is Baldwin getting a homer on a bunt. . Bill Donovan, of the Yankees, will try and turn Ray Caldwell, the pitcher, into an outneider. The Yanks have a batting weakness and Manager Bill thinks Ray could help by playing reg ular. Ray has been used on several occasions as a pinch hitter.

The Boston Nationals have purchased Infielder Schrieber from the Lawrence Club. Schrieber is said to be the best of the Eastern Leaguers since Maranville. Cleveland fans have given up the ghost and are getting ready to watch the White Sox battle for the world's series. Manager Mitchell, of the Cubs, took a look at a picture of Ed Walsh, Christy Mathewson, Chief Bender, Nap Rucker and Eddie Plank and then remarked: "Give -me those birds and I'll overtake McGraw." Mitchell said he would bid $500,000 for the quintet and then think he was cheating. Eddie Plank has hiked from St. Louis to the country. Eddie says it's livelier than St. Louis at that. 2 FAVORITES WINNERS BDTTE HALE AND LITTLE BATTICE TAKE PACING EVENTS.

After looking over the available lightweight talent here, the matchmak ers of the Vancouver Athletic Club have decided to put on Billy Williams with Jack Wagner in the main event of 10 rounds at their boxing show in the Post gymnasium Friday night. Williams is considered one of the best lightweights in the Northwest. A few years ago Williams was being touted as the champion of the Pacific Coast, but quit the game for business reasons. About six months ago he decided to take another fling at the game and took on Wagner in a six-round bout at the Rose City Club. He caught Wag ner out of condition and won the de cision over the Portland battler. On the Fourth of July Williams fought a 10-round bout in Superior, Wis., with George Kelly and won easily. Billy started his boxing career in Se attle about four years ago and while in the Sound City met the best of them. Among the boys he fought are Johnny O'Leary, Eddie Moy, of New York; Frenchy Vaise and a. host of other good boys. Williams fought Johnny O'Leary two sensational bouts when the latter was at his bst. Wrill- iams lost the first bout by a hairline and held the battling O'Leary to a draw in the second. Williams Is confi dent that he is boxing as good now. If not better, than he was while he was in Seattle, and if he gets by Wag ner he will not rest until he forces Eddie Campi into a match. On the other hand, Wagner is sure that he will best Williams and says that Billy will be lucky to stay 10 rounds with him. Ever since his bout with Williams at the Rose City Club, Jack has been trying to get another crack at him and at last he will have the chance. A win over Williams will be a big feather in Jack's cap, and if confidence counts for anything he has won the bout already. The winner of this bout will be matched with Pete Mltchle for prob ably the next show at Vancouver. Billy Mascott will defend his ban tamweight championship of the North west against George Brandon, the lit tle Portland battler who has made good record for himself in California. This bout is worth a main event in Itself. Either Valley Trambitas or Leo Cross will meet Soldier Arnold, middleweight champion of the barracks. Trambitas is averse to fighting anything less than a main event, ana as the promoters already have signed Wagner and Will tarns and Brandon and. Mascott, Tram- bitas hardly could be given the honor, Johnny Boscovitch is in fine fettle for his six three-mlnute-round clash with Charley Rooney. Both boys know nothing but the word fight when in the ring and always proceed to battle from start to finish. Boscovitch has been showing better in every bout he has had and soon will be ready for any of them at his weight in the Northwest. Tickets will be on sale today. WAR HITS ICE HOCKEY PROSPECTS FOR SPOK.1XE AND VIC TORIA are: held slim. Portland and Seattle Probably Will Have Teams Plana of Vancouver Management Kot Determined. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Aug. 20. War has hit ice hockey In the North west and players and patrons of the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Association are wondering: whether there will be a professional schedule played this Win ter. At this time, with the season several months away, sporting; authori ties are talking of a league of three clubs Portland, Seattle and Vancou ver, B. C. instead of the four-team league of a year agro. Spokane and Victoria, B. C, the only other two prospects, will not be able to play this year. It Is grenerally be lieved, on account of lack of support. Last year Spokane was the fourth club in the league and drew so poorly at home It was put on the road during; the last weeks of the season. Portland and Seattle probably will have teams. E. J. Bryan, head of the company owning the Portland Ice Pal ace, has announced he Is willing to put a team in the field again and it is re ported the company controlling the Metropolitan Arena at Seattle, where the games are played, is In good fi nancial shape and is willing to back a team. Plans of the Vancouver management are undetermined. Frank Patrick, manager of the Vancouver team and president of the association, has said if a proposed Canadian war tax on amusements goes into effect, hockey will be impossible. All the players who finished last season except one are Canadians and, as yet, none has enlisted. The only American-born man In the league was SI Griffiths, captain of the Vancouver club, the only Canadian club in the league. There Is talk of San Francisco or Los Angeles putting clubs Into the league, but In the Northwest there are few people who expect to see Cali fornia represented this year. "Gunboat" Smith Is Outfought. ROCHESTER, N. T., Aug. 20. Kid Norfolk, a negro heavyweight of Balti more, decisively outfought "Gunboat Smith here tonight in 10 rounds.

A heavy down pour of rain impeded the progress of the grand American handicap shoot which opened today at the South Shore Country Club, but preliminary events participated in by both professionals and amateurs showed some excellent scores. In the professional shoot Homer Clark, of Alton, 111., broke 99 targets out of 100. getting first place; Bart Lewis, Auburn. 111., was second with a score of 97; C. A. Young, Springfield, O.; w. R.

Troeh, of Vancouver, Wash., with a score of 199 out of a possible 200 in the amateur event, won first place. Troeh's performance in breaking 199 targets out of a possible 200 at 18 yards in the amateur event is declared to be unprralleled even in professional ranks. He missed the 92d target and then finished with a straight run of 108. Several of his shots were made during a downpour of rain. Troeh was the National amateur champion in 1916 and last year also was champion of the state of Washington. The National amateur trapshooting championship will be held tomorrow, at 3 o'clock.

Un expected tennis play by some of the older entrants in the National patriotic singles tournament was the feature of the first and second rounds completed here after an all-day session on the turf courts. Holcombe Ward, of Seabright, N. J., singles champion in 1904, started the upsets by defeating S. H. Voshell, of Brooklyn, 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. Ward continued Into the second round at the expense of another younger player, H. S. Par ker, of Cedarhurst, N. T., whom he de feated 6-2, 6-2. Craie Biddle. of Philadelphia, fur nished another surprise In defeating Frederick B. Alexander, of New York, 6-1, 2-6, 6-0, due In great part to his heady play and excellent placement. Charles S.

Mahon, of New York, 6-1, 7-5. in tn8 first round and then vanquishing Karl Behr, of New York, the former internationalist, 6-2, 6-4. Seiichiro Kashio, the Japanese play er, from Tokio, survived the first round, but was eliminated in the second by Douglas Watters, of New Orleans. Kashio defeated F. B.
