IMS GET HOUGK
Portland Twirler Is Drafted by
St. Louis Americans.
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. OMeve-

land, Detroit, New York Americans,
Brooklyn, Boston Nationals, Chicago
Nationals and New York Nationals,
each obtained two., while the Boston
Americans, Philadelphia Americans,
St. Louis Americans, St. Louis Nationals
each obtained one. 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,

OAKS RELEASE "BILL' HEARD
Ex-Manager of Seattle Team Draws
Unconditional Blue Slip.
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.

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.

Notes of the Game. .
"Tiny Goodbred was good natured even
if he did lose, and the fans were with him.
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.
