SEALS LOSE FITZGERALD Pliiladelphia Nationals Draft ex- Beaver Player and Meusel of Angels Katli Goes to Reds and Lauc to Braves. Byron Houck, Portlana's star twirler. was drafted by the St. Louis Ameri can League club, yesterday, in the an nual draft of the National Baseball Commission held in Cincinnati. The drafting: of Houck was not en tirely unexpected in view of his won derful .work, this season. Houck, a slow starter in rounding- into form, was about to be released after the Beavers returned from Honolulu last Spring. His arm was in bad shape and Manager McCredie thought he was about done. Intercession on the part of the newspapermen in training camp in Houck's behalf .caused McCredie to give him a few weeks' additional trial and 'Houck's wonderful string of vic tories after he did return to form was yesterday rewarded by the St. Louis Americans who drafted him. M'fldueMA Prove Costly. Houck is a Portland boy and first attracted attention by his pitching for the "Washington High School. He later went to the University of Oregon where he attracted the attention of the Spo kane club which he joined the latter part of the 1911 season, where he won four and lost four. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Americans and re ported in 1912. While with Connie Mack he won eight and lost eight. Houck issued more passes than any pitcher in the American League during 1913. In 40 games he allowed 144 hits, walked 122, strnck out 66. and was credited with 11 wild pitches. In 1914 Houck jumped to the Brooklyn Feds where he did not meet with much suc cess on account of -his wildness, and was shunted to the Colonial League. "When the -Federal League disbanded Houck returned to Portland and signed with the Portland club where he has pitched for the last two seasons, meet- with great success. - Houck never had a better ye aj than the pre seoi t one and it is hoped anion; his admirers that he will be able to meet with great success on his second trip to the American League. Houck is about 26 years old and married. - . Fitzgerald Good Hitter. Justin Fitzgerald, outfielder of the San Francisco club, who was drafted by the Philadelphia Nationals, was a former Portland player, and also was with the New York Americans. Fitz gerald has been one of the leading hitters since he first joined the league and is now hitting at a .339 clip. In 1113 he had a bad arm and was rele gated by the MoOredies to the Portland Colts in the Northwestern League, later going to Spokane, and then to San Francisco. "Irish" Meusel. of the Aneels, was drafted by the Philadelphia Nationals. He is a fine looking outfielder and is now hitting .307. Morris Rath, third baseman, of the Salt Lake club, was selected by Cin cinnati. Rath formerly was with the White Sox and is the oldest player of those selected from the Pacific Coast League. His hitting evidently attracted the attention of Christy Mathewson's scouts. His present average is .336. William Lane, Oakland outfielder, was drafted by the Boston Nationals. There is no faster man in the outfield than Lane, but he has not been hitting at a clip that would predict his stay ing up in the big show. His present average is about .238. CINCINNATI, Sept. 20. Previous to the taking up of the world's series matteT the annual draft meeting of the National Commission was held here to day and at its completion it was found that the National League had drafted 22 players and the American League 12 from the minors. Cincinnati led all other clubs in getting players through draft, seven men coming here. Philadelphia Na tionals obtained six men and the Wash ington Americans obtained three.

The Boston Na tionals originally drafted, six men, but later canceled their claims on Lane, of Oakland; Conway, of Worcester; Murray, of Worcester, and Munroe, of Joplin. Neither Pittsburg of the National League, nor the Chicago Americans obtained a man by draft. The commission adjourned to meet tomorrow when a large number of miscellaneous cases will be taken up. The revised list of men obtained through draft, issued tonight by the National Commission, included: American League: By St. Louis, from Portland, Houck. National League: By Cincinnati from Salt Lake, Rath; by Philadelphia from Los Angeles, Meusel; San Francisco, Fitzgerald.

Del Howard, manager of the Oakland baseball club, recently announced the unconditional release of William (Bill) Leard, who has been playing the utility role for the Oaks since his return from the Brooklyn Dodgers. Leard was left at home when the Oaks came north Sunday night. Leard managed the Seattle club in the Northwestern League this year and was sold by Dugdale to Brooklyn, to re port at the conclusion of the North western League season. After a few weeks trial, Leard was released to the Oakland club. In harmony with the retrenchment policy of the Oakland club, and the fact that Leard is getting well along in years, the announcement of his release did not occasion great surprise. Leard was very popular with his teammates and they regret his release. EX-OREGOX STARS TO ORGANIZE Men at Camp Lewis Xecd Funds to ' Buy Equipment. Word has been received from Ameri can Lake that Red Cross Ambulance Unit No. 14, under Dr. J.

At San Francisco San Franciaco 4, Salt Lake 2. At Lob Angeles Los Angeles 2, Vernon 1. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. The Beavers made it three straight! from Del Howard's Oaks yesterday and waddled back into the .600 class when they managed to gather 10 safe clouts off of "Tiny" Goodbred for a total of six runs. The best the Oaks could do j with 14 hits oft Gardner and Brenton was four runs. The Oaks outhit the Beavers and it looked as though they might win, when Harry Gardner started to wobble in the sixth inning. Four hits in the sixth netted the Oaks their fourth run of the game and tied the score, but Manager McCredie sent Brenton in at the begin ning of the seventh and "Herby" held the Oaks at bay while the Beavers man- j aged to put over two runs in the eev- j enth, which won the game. Hittting Is Heavy. The players fattened their batting averages yesterday at the expense of , the three twirlers. A total of 24 hits was garnered off Gardner, Brenton ' and Goodbred. Six doubles featured the j day's bombardment. j The Oaks started the fireworks right ; off the bat in the first inning. Lane celebrated the announcement of his being drafted by the Boston Nationals by doubling to left and taking third on Eddie Meneor's infield hit. Murphy sac rificed Mensor to second. Lane scored on Stumpfs out, Mensor taking third. Miller grounded to Hollocher, who threw low to Griggs, Mensor scoring. The Beavers were not to be denied. Farmer clicked one of Goodbred's shoots for a double against the right-field fence and stole third, while Mitze wasn't looking. Wilie brushed second base off with a single and Farmer scored. "Willed stole second. Griggs plastered one in right, scoring Wilie, Griggs pulling up at second on the throw-in. That ended the scoring and tied the Oaks. The Beavers took the lead in the third inning, when they scored two more runs off Goodbred. Hollocher walked and scored from first on Wilie's double to left-center. Williams lined to Lane, Wilie taking third on the throw-in. Griggs flew to Lane for the second out and Wilie scored from third before Lane could return the ball. The Oaks scored one run each in the fifth and sixth stanzas. Mensor singled to center and was safe at second, when Hollocher dropped Gardner's throw of Murphy's grounder trying to force Mensor. fitumpf beat out an infield hit to short, filling the bases. Miller forced Stumpf at second, Mensor scoring. The Oaks tied the score in the sixth, when Gardner singled to right and went to third on Mitze's single. Gardner scored when Goodbred forced Mitze at second for the second out. AVith the score tied Manager Mc Credie sent Brenton in to pitch and he weathered the storm. The Beavers put the game "on ice" in- the eighth, when Williams singled. Griggs bunted one down toward first, which Goodbred and Gardner refused to touch, Griggs get ting credit for a single. Rodgers ad vanced them to third with a neat sacri fice. Siglin beat out a hit to Murphy, Williams scoring. Fisher lined to deep center and Griggs scored on the throw-in. Contest Lacks Interest. Tt was a listless game to watch, and many of the fans left before-the game was over. Hollocher had a bad day at short, being charged with three errors. There were five sacrifice hits, six two base clouts and four stolen bases. Griggs had a big day with the wil low, getting three hits out of three trips to the plate. Wilie, "Rube" Gard ner, Murphy, Mensor and Lane also fattened their averages. Penner will oppose "Speed Martin today. Game starts at 3 o'clock. The score: Oakland 1 Portland BRHOA!

The "bundlesome" heaver of the Oaks is well liked in Portland and knows wben to quit his comedy. There is such a thins as "too much t plenty." Dr. Rosensteln, who attended Pearl Casey's Injured digit after Tuesday's game, was of the opinion that the Index finger might have suffered a fracture, but a close exam ination showed that Rearl can still stir the baby's mush, so the "Doc" discharged him .as a patient. 9 In the fifth inning- Denny "Wilie hit ft ball which had every aDDearance of a single until Bddie Mensor made a flying leap and speared the pill. wilie mumbled as he returned to the bench and instructed the official scorer to give Mensor an "error." What Wilie said about Mensor was "cut out by the censor." The few fans who knew of. Houck's being drafted by the Browns were pleased to think that his splendid work this season was ap preciated by at least one manager in the big show. Williams and Houck will be with the Browns for more than "coffee and if their work this season is any criterion. Welterweight Boxer Dies. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 20.
