CINCINNATI, Aug. 20. The enrolling

Army and Navy will have little or no
effect financially on those clubs de

the players in leagues of lower classi

effect that the status of all players
obtained by recall under optional
Agreements would remain the same, no
matter when the player was called for
military or naval duty.
With men drafted from the ranks of
the minors, the draft price shall not be
paid over until the player actually en
ters the service of the club which pur
chased him. In case the drafted player

between the time he is drafted and the
time he is ordered to report, the club
which would have obtained his services

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,

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.

BILLY WILLIAMS TO
MEET JACK WAGNER
Fast Lightweights to Be Seen
in Action at Vancouver
' Friday Night.
10-R0UND GO SCHEDULED
Winner of Bout to Be Matched With
Slltchie on Labor Day Other
Boxers on Forthcoming
Card Are Clever.
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. Nor
folk carried the battle all the way, sel
dom giving Smith an opportunity to
set himself for a telling punch. Smith
claimed to have hurt his right hand in
the third round. The weights were,
Norfolk 178. Smith 174.
Beckett Is Corporal.
Johnny Beckett, former University of
Oregon football star and one of the
greatest tackles in the country, has
been made a corporal In the United
States Marines at Mare Island. Beckett
has passed the examinations for a Sec
ond Lieutenant and likely will receive
a commission soon.

Impedes Big Shoot.
CHICAGO. Aug. 20. 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. Crosby, O'Fallon, 111.; J. R.
Graham, Ingleslde, 111.; C. E. Goodrich,
Belleville, 111., all had scores of 96.
Frank M. 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. It is one of the events on
the grand American handicap tourna

FOREST HILLS. N. T., Aug. 20. 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

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. Garland, of Pittsburg, a
comparative youngster, furnished the
third surprise of the tournament by
defeating Lyle E. 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

but was eliminated in the second by
Douglas Watters, of New Orleans.
Kashio defeated F. B. Ransom, of
Beaver Falls, Pa., In three deuce sets
In the forenoon, but went down quickly
before the Southern expert, ,6-3, 6-4.
Kashio was far from being the ex
