BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON7.
Lest we forget, we say it yet tack
tip the old "good-luck" horseshoe for
Manager McCredie and his Beavers. If
ever a ball team "fussed" with the rab
bit's foot the Beavers must have done
it previous to yesterday's game, when
they outlucked George Stovall and his
Tigers in their first scrimmage of the
series, score 1 to 0.
The only tally of the game which the
Beavers were lucky enough to score
was made in the eighth inning without
the least semblance of a base hit. Farm
er was passed to first and was safe at
second when GalLoway "mussed" up
Charlie Hollocher's bunt, allowing
Holly to rest at first. Denny Wilie laid
down a sacrifice, which moved Jack
Farmer to third and Hollocher to sec
ond. The fans- were yelling for a hit
from "Williams, who was at bat.
Fromme started to walk him, but the
Portlander reached out and sent a fly
to deep left. Farmer scoring the only
run of the game on the throw-in.
Fromme declared that the batter il
legally stepped out of the box to hit
the ball, but Umpire Casey ruled that
his point was not well taken.
Pitchers Engage In Dnel.
It was a pitcher's battle between
Penner, for the Beavers, and. Fromme,
for Vernon. Penner let the Tigers
down with five scattering blows, while
Fromme was hit safely four times.
Art Fromme, ex-New York Giant,
rteld the Beavers hitless during the
first four innings. In the fifth, with
two down. Bill Rodgers crashed one
down past first base, but was forced at
second.
McCredie's warriors became threaten
ing in the sixth and it looked like for
one or more runs surely, with the bases
crammed and nobody out. But Fromme
tightened up-and, the Beavers went out
In one-two-three order. Gus Fisher
kissed the fence with a drive, which
"Walter Uoane managed to touch and. it
hopped up against the fence and re
turned to his hands, August getting
credit for a single. "Frenchy" Penner
bunted to Fromme, who threw to sec
ond to catch Fisher, Calahan dropping
the ball. Farmer trickled a bunt along
the first base line, which Meusel
thought would roll foul. The ball
fooled the first sacker and stayed in
the fair zone, all three men being safe
ly perched on. the cushions when Meu
sel decided the ball was a friend of the
Beavers. With three on and not a
Beaver out, Fromme "bore" down on
the old ball and the next three Beavers
to face him went out in succession.
Ttgrers Danserous Once.
Penner managed to keep his swats
well scattered. In only one inning did
the Tigers manage to reach third. "With
one down in the first inning Vaughn
walked, took second on Doane's infield
out. and went to third when Pete
Daley scratched a hit to Hollocher.
That was the nearest the Tigers came
to scoring.
Today's game starts at 3 o'clock.

It made the boys sit up and take notice,
tftrus was way off balance on a waste ball
Penner threw him, but he threw Vaughn
out several feet.

When It comes to knocking: down "hits"
around that third cushion Paddy Siglin has
been showing the boys how to do it. Calla

throw to Griggs Callahan was retired.
Callahan, Tiger shortstop, handled nine
chances around the infield yesterday with
out a bobble. He was here and there and
everywhere. Charlie Hollocher was very
noticeable in the same spot, and when he
knocked down Pete Daley's grass cutter
back of second, throwing Pete out at firaU
the fans did not forget him.

POL PEKRITT (LEFT). BEXXT KAUFP (RIGHT).
Benny Kauff and Pol Perritt have been fundamentally important in the success of the Giants. Their excellent work has kept the Giants on top
throughout the season. Both Kauff and Perritt are seasoned ballplayers and undoubtedly will make an excellent showing in the world's series. There
Is not a player in either league who likes his base smacks better than Benny, and there is not a man who Is trying harder than he for the success of his
team. Benny has been successful with the ash this season, and will finish high up among the league leaders. Besides being a heavy batter, Benny'
is a remarkable fielder and has saved many games with wonderful throws and catches. Pol Perritt has had many ups and downs. Sometimes
he is good and other times bad. He started the season rather off-color, but McGraw gradually worked him into excellent form, and he is winning
regularly now. He is at present McGraw's premier righthander. Perritt's chances of delivering in the world's series are mighty good, for he is a heady
pitcher, and as cool as an icicle in the tightest pinches.

an eyelash. Doane lifted one back of the
Infield and Farmer raced In and hooked It
off his shoetops. Snodgrass was on second
the time and Farmer saved the "bacon
for the Beavers, as Snodgrasi would surely
have scored had it gotten away from him. .
McCredie said he would start Houck in
today', battle with the Tigers. "Mac" is
going o resort to every effort to win this
series by a bijr margin. The Bees coming
next week will give the Beavers some
trouble, so Mac wants to clean up on the
Tigers if possible.

TWO REASONS WHY THE NEW YORK GIANTS WILL CLASH IN THE WORLD
FAIR RACES CLOSE
Hal Paxton Takes $2000 2:08
Pace in Straight Heats.
GUY BOY WINS 2:25 TROT
Handicap Race, Free for AH, Pace
or Trot, Is Captured by Remem
ber Me, WltU 17 0-Vard Han
dicap; Strathell Is Fifth.
SALES!, Or., Sept. 26. (Special.)
Today was a day of real horse racing
at the Oregon State F'alr, and a crowd
that packed both grandstands and lined
the rails saw some great heats and
finishes.
The $2000 2:08 pace, the feature race
of the day, went to Hal Paxton in
straight heats, but that dCesn't indi
cate that he didn't -have to step out in
every heat toget in on the long side
of the money.
In the first heat the field Of seven
got off to a fine start. After the quar
ter Hal Paxton, College Cent, Rico and
Indian Hal were bunched, while Lena
Patch, O. U. C. and Haltamont trailed
out behind.. The fast little Hal Paxton
passed the half mile in 1:02 'j, and
everyone knew that there was a real
race in prospect.
The second heat developed into an
ideal horse race when Hal Paxton and
College Gent gave as classy an exhibi
tion of fast pacing as ever has been
seen at the fair grounds track. In the
third heat the same kind of a scrap
developed. College Gent had things
looking dark for Hal Paxton until Col
lege Gent broke and Rico nosed him
out for second place.
Gut Boy lu Victor.
The second race, ttie 2:25 trot, also
developed some real racing. Guy Boy
took this trot in straight heats, but
he had his troubles before he finally
won the third heat.
The first heat was really a fine race
between Cavalier and Salem Boy for
second place, but in the last quarter
Salem Boy gave Guy Boy a scare that
didn't leave him until the finish of the
final heat. Cavalier Gale broke in the
last quarter and let Oregona in for
third place. In the third heat it was
all Guy Boy until almost under the
wire, when Salem Boy gave him a stiff
trot with a terrible burst of speed Just
at the wire, which came too late, how
eveq to take the heat from Guy Boy.
Remember Me Takes Race,
A unique feature was the handicap
race, free-for-all, pace or trot, which
Remember Me, with a handicap of 170
yards, won. Strathell, scratch horse,
made a wonderful race to come in fifth,
while Helen Hall, owned by A. H. Lea,
secretary of the State Fair Board, took
second, with a 120-yard handicap, and
had there been a little more distance
to the wire she would have nosed out
Remember Me.

REGIMENTAL RELAY PROPOSED
Troops at Camp Lewis May Compete
on Thanksgiving Day.
TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 26. (Spe
cial.) Plans for a regimental relay
race from Camp Lewis to Tacoma and
return have been made by H. M. Strick-
ler, athletic director of the Army Y. M.
C. A. at Camp Lewis and submitted
to Major-General Greene. From 300
to 400 men are to take part in the
marathon, according to Mr. trick ler's
plan. Each regiment at the camp at
Thanksgiving tim will pick a team of
35 men and each man will have a half
mile trot as his part in winning tile
trophy for his team.
Each team will be entrusted with a
copy of a letter from the camp com
mander to the Mayor of Tacoma. and,
returning, each team will have a letter
from the Mayor to Major-General
Greene, if the plan carries.
Attractive prizes will be given. As
a spectacular sport event it is believed
by Mr. trickier that the marathon
would be as interesting for the general
public as for the men at Camp Lewis.

CALIFORNIA ELEVEN IS WEAK
Team Seems Unable to Acquire
Knowledge of Game.
BERKELEY, Cal.. Sept. 26. (Spe
cial.) The University of California
eleven, .which was defeated by the
Olympic Club eleven last Saturday,
seems unable to acquire even the sim
plest of football rudiments. But blue

TAKE A BLOOD TONIC
BEFORE WINTER
Revitalize Tour Blood and Pat Tour
System In Condition to Resist
the Hardships of Winter.
It is the strong-blooded men' and
women who are vigorous and healthy
In Winter, and who are not incon
venienced by the cold, wet days. Wet
feet don't bother them, sudden changes
cause no inconvenience, and even when
cold is "caught," because of contact.
n a close, stuffy room, witn some one
already infected, the trouble seldom
lasts over a day or two. This highly
esired state of health Is brought
bout by having rich, pure blood, un-
contaminated by impurities of any
kind.
You may possibly think your blood
s all right you are not troubled by
outward signs. Yet you have felt tired
nd lan-guid, you have lost some sleep
had some minor ailments at times.
ut you regard yourself as in "fairly
good condition physically." This may
be true, but you should take nothing
for granted, you should not '.guess
that you are all right. The thing to do
is to make yourself right by taking a
good blood tonic and invigorator, such
as S. S. S. It is the best known blood
tonic on the market today. There is

CHANCE SAYS SOX WILL WIN'
Peerless One" Points Out That
American Leaguers Usually Win.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 26.
(Special.) Frank Chance thinks that
it is about a toss-up between the
White Sox and Giants. However, were
he to place a bet he would be in
clined to get his money down on the
Sox.
The American League seems to have
the 'breaks' in the world series in re
cent years, and its pitching seems to
stack up better than those in the Na
tional," said Chance. "Both clubs play
brilliant but erratic ball, and this
makes it a difficult series to pick, a
couple of errors at critical times may
decido the whole thing."-
