LOS ANGELEL, Sep 2. Portland
won both gai es today, making it eight
straight from Vernon, and drew closer
to the first division in the Pacific Coast
League standing. The Beavers batted
Marlon .or 12 hits in the morning game,
while Daley and Houck held the Tigers
to three hits and won easily.
After pitching nine innings of superb
ball in the afternoon game, Mitchell
blew in the tenth and the visitors
scored four runs.
Long extra base hitting featured the
morning game, Griggs, Wilie and Hod
gers slamming out two-baggers and
Williams getting a triple. Griggs,
Rodgers and Fisher contributed the
heaviest hitting. The Beavers won this
game 9 to 2.
All the Beaver runs were earned,
while Daley was charged with cne
earned run. Houck went in at the close
and breezed through. Day had gone
wild and -vhi' he wasn't hittable his
seven passes kept the fans expecting
a blowup. Houck was as steady as a
clock after he took the mound.
Portland's recruit pitcher, Gardner,
added to his string of .ctories by
shutting- out the T.gcrs, 4-0, in the
afternoon and nc.ding them to eix hits.
The Beavers hit steadily all through
but Mitchell was steady in the pinches
until the terth, when the visitors
bunched hits r four runs. Hollocher,
Williams, Griggs, Baldwi" and Gard
ner were the batting stars for the vis
itors in the matinee engagement.

ROOKIE HELPS BEAVERS
PORTLAND HAS WON 15 OCT CV
LAST 17 GAMES.
Byron Houck and Harry Gardner Doinar
Fine Mound Work to Make Mack
men Permanent Contenders.
Portland has won 15 and lost 2 out of
the last 17 games played. This has
brought the Beavers from a poor fifth
to within one game of third place.
Gardner, of the Northwest League,
has strengthened the Beaver pitching
staff materially. Gardner has lost one
game, won three and relieved James
twice, winning both times.
Houck is now Portland's leading reg
ular. Out of 28 games he has won 17.
Houck got a bad start this Spring,
which has held down his average con
siderably. Bill James, the big southpaw ac
quired about a month ago from the
Southern Association, has won five
games and lost three. He has also done
much work as a relief pitcher.
Before Houck's somewhat meteoric
rise, Kenneth Penner was considered
Portland's best bet. Penner has a
pitching average of .536 for his season's
work, having won 15 games and lost 13.
He and Brenton are the speedball art
ists of the staff.
Lynn Brenton himself has been the
original hard-luck twirler of the
league. He has had his games prac
tically put away on ice when the enemy
would come through with a last-minute
rally. He has been winning regu
larly of late, however. He has won 12
and lost 15, with an average of .444
per cent.

MANY LABOR DAY
FIGHTS SCHEDULED
Premier Attraction Will Be
Carl Morris-Fred Fulton
Bout at Canton, 0.
MEN TO BATTLE 15 ROUNDS
Winner May Meet Jess Willard In
World's Championship Match.
Mike Gibbons to Box Jack
Dillon at Terre Haute.
Labor day has always been one of
the biggest fight days in the country,
and this year it is not an exception.
Fighters from world's champions to
"has beens" will mix in different cities
throughout the land. Labor day is the
day that nearly all the boxers of any
importance work, barring Jess Willard,
who has been on a vacation all his life,
and Benny Leonard, who will box later
this week.
First in importance comes the Carl
Morris-Fred Fulton bout at Canton, O.
Upon the result of their 15-round en
counter hinges the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world. The winner is
practically certain of landing a match
with Jess Willard, or If Willard re
fuses to box any more, the winner will
be regarded as the best in the heavy
weight division.
Mike Gibbons Picked to Win.
Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul phantom.
who is recognized as the leading mid
dleweight in America, will take on
Jack Dillon for 10 rounds at . Terre
Haute. Mike should have no trouble
beating Dillon, as his brother Tom just
handed Jack a licking a few weeks ago.
At Racine, Wis., Joe Welling, one of
the leading contenders for Benny Leon
ard's lightweight crown, will step 10
rounds with Frankie Callahan, the
Brooklyn battler. Both of these boys
have been disputing which one should
get the first crack at Benny, and the
winner will be in line for a title bout.
Way back in smoky Pittsburg, where
all the stogies come from, Harry Greb,
the latest middleweight sensation, will
meet "Battling" Levinsky, recognized
as light-heavyweight champion of the
world, if there is any such thing. Greb
has posted $1000 for a match with Mike
Gibbons, and a win over Levinsky will
bring him still closer to his goal.
Herman to Meet Jackson.
Pete Herman, bantamweight champ.
will take on Nate Jackson for a 10
round workout at Tulsa, Ok la. Kid
Williams, ex-titleholder, will meet Jack
Sharkey at Baltimore over a la-round
route, and Johnny Ertle. another ban
tamweight topnotcher, will take a
chance with George Thompson at St.
Paul.
Tommy Gibbons, brother of Mike,
will box "us Christie 10 rounds at
Dayton, O., and Tom McMahon and
Homer Smith are billed to give the
Wheeling, W. Va., fistic fans a chance
to get excited.
The Ted Lewis-Johnny Griffiths match
at Akron, O., seems to have been called
off altogether. Lewis was unable to
meet Griffiths for some reason or other,
so Jack Britton was obtained to take
his place. Britton now announces that
he is ill and cannot go on with the
Akron welterweight. The promoters
offered to get Mike O'Dowd for him,
but he balked.
Jersey City Frankie Burns and Pal
Moore will box 10 rounds at Memphis,
Tenn., with nothing in particular at
stake, while Clonie Tate, lightweight
champion of Canada, will tackle
Charley Scully for 15 settos at Winni
peg, Can.
Ritchie to Box Barrleaa.
Getting closer to home, Willie Ritchie,
ex-world's lightweight champion, will
meet Frank Barrieau in a return match
at Emeryville, Cal. They fought a fast
four-round draw at the Emeryville
arena several weeks ago, and many
seemed to think that Ritchie should
have had the decision, so the return
bout to settle the question.
The boxing game will open for the
Winter season at Jack Dowing's Metro
politan Athletic Club in Salt Lake City,
with Dick Gilbert, of Salt Lake, clash
ing with Eddie White, of San Francisco,
in the main event of four rounds.
Harry Casey, the aggressive Seattle
lightweight, will box Lee Morrissey 10
rounds in Boise, Idaho. Jack Wagner,
the Portland 135-pounder, was sched
uled to go on with Morrissey, but be
cause of the death of his mother had
to call the match off. He has challenged
the winner.
Last, but not least, we have our own
boxing bouts on Labor day, with
Charley Moy defending his Pacific Coast
bantamweight championship against
Billy Mascott.

STOVAXIi GOES IN AS PITCHER
Stnnt Reminds That McCredle Has
Failed to Bat This Season.
When the Beavers were busily en
gaged in getting 20 hits and 14 runs
off Vernon in the second game last
Friday, Manager Stovall, of the vic
tims, got peeved at his pitchers and
went out on the mound himself, al
though he Is supposed to be a first-
baseman.
It's a long time since we've seen our
Mack go out and mix in a game. He
went in as a pinch hitter one time last
year and annexed a blngle, which made
him the leading hitter in the league
with an average oi 1000 per cent. As
he couldn't improve on it, he has evi
dently decided to take no chances on
lowering it, so he scrupulously keeps
out of the games this year.
RACE HORSES GO TO SPOKANE
Stock Entries of Carnation Milk
Products Being Shipped.
CENTRALIA, Wash., Sept. 2. (Spe
cial.) F. P. Rhoads, traveling agent for
the American Express Company, is in
Centralia superintending removal of race
horses from the Southwest Washington
fair grounds to Spokane for the Inter-
state Fair. The stock entries of the
Carnation Milk Products Company, of
Monroe, are also being taken to Spo
kane, six big express cars being re
quired ?cr the horses and stock.
The Jumble sale for the benefit of
the Red Cross was the closing feature
of the 1917 fair. A big sum was raised
for Centralia and Chehalis chapters.
Lewis & Son, of this city, professional
auctioneers, donated their services.
The poultry department of the fair
this year was taxed to accommodate
the entries. More than 903 birds were
on exhibition, rome of them being val
ued as high as S50. J. H. Warrington,
of Cornwall. Ontario, was the biggest
exhibitor, having 200 here.
BEAVERS PLAY TWICE TODAY
Late Arrival at Salt Lake to Necessi
tate Another Double Bill.
The Beavers pla. two extra games
with Vernon today. Were it not for
the Labor day games yet to be played,
the Portland lads would have taken
every game of an ordinary seven-game
series from Vernon.
Portland Was scheduled to have left
Los Angeles last night for Salt Lake
City, but as this would have meant no
games on one of the big-paying base
ball days of the year, the team held
over and will not leave until tonight.
This will make them late at Salt Lake,
so double-headers will have to be
played to catch up with the schedule.
After playing Salt Lake the Beavers
return for four weeks on the home
grounds.
FANS TO SEE 6 BOUTS
BOXERS ARE SAID TO BE READY
FOB HARD BATTLES.
Charley Moy, of San Francisco, to Meet
Billy Mascott, of Portland,
In Bantam Class.
Everything is ready for tonight's
boxing show at the Baker Theater, the
first that the Portland fans will have
seen for some time. Manager Merrill,
of the Rose City School of Boxing,
after a visit to the different training
camps and gymnasiums, has announced
that all of the boxers on the card are
in the best of condition and are pre
pared to battle their best.
Charley Moy, of San Francisco, is
ready to defend his title of bantam
weight champion of the Pacific Coast
against Billy Mascott, the clever Port
land bantam. Both boys have worked
hard for the bout.
Billy Williams will step six rounds
with Billy Nelson. He must win over
the Spokane lightweight to get a match
with Muff Bronson in Vancouver on
September 12.
The bout between Abe Gordon, 112
pound champion of the Coast, and
George Brandon promises to be one of
the best on the card. There is hardly
a more clever boy at his weight in the
country than Gordon, while Brandon is
a rugged little battler.
Harry Mahoney will make his re-appearance
in the local ring after an ab
sence of a year, meeting Johnny Bosco
vitch at 150 pounds. Mahoney and
Boscovitch always made a hit with the
boxing fans.
Sammy Gordon, who is making a

the previous two weeks, the leaders

This week New York meets Philadel
phia, the runner-up, in three consecu

games, the pennant may depend.
The best record of the week was
made by Cincinnati, which won five
games and tied one. Boston was de
feated in three straight games and
Mathewson's men advanced to fourth
place ahead of Chicago. St. Louis also
had a good week, winning five out of
seven.
In the American, Chicago had its
most successful week since mid-June.
The leaders were undefeated in seven
games up to Saturday, when they lost
their only game of the week to St.
Louis. Eighty-five hits were made by
Rowland's men for a total of 51 runs,
while their opponents were able to
cross the plate only 19 times.
Boston, after dividing two games
against Detroit, met Philadelphia in a
four-game series, winning three and
tying one. Because of good work of
the leaders, however, the Red Sox did
not gain on Chicago. Cleveland and
Detroit fought for the possession of
third place, the latter part of the week,
but their series effected no change,
nor did their week's work, as each
club broke even in six games.

GERARD SEES 2 PATHS
ONE MUST BE EITHER AMERICAN
OR TRAITOR. SAYS SPEAKER.
Pacifists Are Told That Peace Will
Come More Quickly If They Keep
Still and Help Country.
HAMILTON, Mont.. Sept. 2. "Every
one must decide now whether to be
an American or be a traitor," James
W. Gerard. ex-American Ambassador
to Germany, told an audience of about
2000 persons here today in an address.
"Let them decide." he said. "If they
don't we will load some of them on a
ship and send them back."
Mr. Gerard described social and eco
nomic conditions in Germany and said
the worker there was cared for as well
as a horse or a man in jail, but got
little out of life.
"It is hard to understand why some
of those who left these conditions to
come to America as the land of oppo
tunity now feel enmity against this
country and favor the Prussian auto
crats." he said. "Before we entered
this war it was all right to favor Ger
many, but the time has now passed.
"The war was started to conquer the
world. The Kaiser had promised a
quick victory. If a draw had occurred
or Germany had won. the Germans
would have come over here to exact
the cost of the war.
"People who are now opposing war
are guiluy of the murder of Americans
because they prolong the war.- When
the Germans believe America la in
earnest the war will cease. They did
not believe we would fight, and they
thought iiv could divide us. As soon

AH Zweifel and "Lefty" Schroeder
Engage In One of Best Pitchers'
Battles of Season Ed Ken
nedy Scores Winning Run.
In what was probably the be3t semi
professional gamo of the season, an all
star nine picked from th crack players
of the Inter-City League yesterday de
feated the Battery A team by a score
of 2 to 1, p.fter 11 innings of hard and
fast play. Two thousand people wit
nessed the game at Recreation Park.
The ent.re proceeds go to the mess
funds of Batteries A and B.
The game was a pitchers' battle be
tween Al Zweifel and "Lefty" Schroe
der. The records made by each twirler
were nearly identical, and it would be
Impossible to say who pitched superior
ball. Each allowed seven hits and gave
two bases on balls. Schroedir fanned
20 men, and Zweifel 14.
Ed Kennedy, one-time Beaver, scored
both runs for the winners. In the
fourth frame, with two down, the big
ex-Mackman poled out a two-bagger.
Feistinger walked, and Kennedy blew
home when Garner connected for his
only hit of the game. In the first
half of the eleventh, Kennedy got to
first on an error, advanced to second
when Garner got on the bases on Hef
fron's error, went to third when Shea
was walked, and came home on the
catcher's error.
Heffron, running for Bishop, was the
man to cross the plate for the soldier
boys. Bishop slammed out a single,
and was replaced on first base by
Heffron. who came home when Clark
made two bases on Feistinger's error.
Bishop got what looked good for a
two-bagger in the sixth inning, but in
jured his ankle rounding first and had
to take a few moments off. The only
other casualties during the battle were
when Decker, catching for the battery
boys, had his forehead cut when a wire
in his mask gave way, and later on in
the game got a wallop on the craxy
bone which nearly paralyzed him. He
gamely stuck with hia post, however.
