VANCOUVER, Wash., July 14. (Spe
cial.) Standifer battled Its way to a
tie for second place in the Columbia
Willamette Shipbuilders' League today,
defeating Ferle Casey's Cornfoot Bear
cats by the score of 4 to 2. The game
was a "whiz throughout the nine in
nings and was halted several times
because of arguments arising over de
cisions. Herman Pillett pitched for
Standifer, while Frank Rapp, former
Buckaroo, worked in the box for Corn
foot. Both twirlers allowed seven hits
and were wild. Pillett proved to be
steadier in the pinches and managed
to hold Cornfoot down at the critical
times.
Standifer made one run in the first
inning, one in the second, one in the
third and one in the fifth. Cornfoot
cored in the third and fifth frames.
Lutge's Tons Xiba Teck.
Eddie Garrity, for Standifer, and
Ferle Casey, for Cornfoot, were the
fielding stars of the contest, both play
ers performing in tip-top form. Lutge,
In center field for Cornfoot, got a hand
In the second frame when he threw
Eddie Teck out at home on a return
or Casey s hit to center.
The big argument started in the
second inning, when, with Kennedy on
first and Teck on third, the Cornfoot
team claimed that Pillett made a balk
and wanted Umpire Drennan, who was
calling balls and strikes, to advance
Kennedy to second and let Teck come
home. Drennan said that Pillett had
not made a balk, but Bill Russell, who
was working on bases, said that it was
a balk, and it finally ended with Ken
nedy going to second but Teck staying
on third. Manager Casey said he would
protest the game. Casey came up next
and rapped out a long hit to center,
but Teck was caught coming in by
Lutge's perfect peg to Marshall.
Kau Go Over Top.
Another argument arose in the fourth
Inning over the same question as to
whether Pillett balked or not, but no
fatalities resulted. A large, enthusias
tic crowd of baseball fans was on band
to witness the gUne and it made itself
very evident several times. It is a
habit with them to storm the diamond
any time an argument comes up and
many of the boys go "over the top" on
Sunday.
Fred Carman, Standifer's recent ad
dition from the Seattle team of the
1'. C. I. L., starred at. the bat yester
day, garnering two hits in. four trips
to the plate. Fitchner played "Dick
Merriwell" for Cornfoot. He knocked
out three hits and a sacrifice In four
times at bat. Casey sent in Sutherland
and Bourg as pinch hitters, but neither
one managed to get even a piece of a
bingle. Cliff Lee and John L. Sullivan,
who did noble stick work for the
Buckaroos all season, could not find
the ball yesterday. Lee made one good
hit in three times up, while Sullivan
failed to register in four trips to the
rubber. Score:

BASEBALL HELD TO
BE NON PRODUCTIVE
Brighton, Mass., Draft Officers
Rule in Case of Catcher
Henry, of Braves.
DECISION SETS PRECEDENT
Game's Financial Contribution to
War Held Xo Larger Than Sacri
fices of Many Millions of
American Citizens.
BOSTON. July 14. Baseball waa
classed an a non-productive occupation
by the Brighton local draft board to
day in deciding a test case brought by
John Park Henry, catcher for the Bos
ton National League baseball team
against Provost Marshal General
Crowdert "work or fight" rule.
ln board found that the amount
of relief from war strain furnished by
the game was overestimated by the
registrant in his affidavit, and that
baseball's financial contribution to the
war was no larger materially than the
voluntary sacrifices of "many millions
of citizens."
All three members of the board are
agreed in the finding that baseball is
a non-productive occupation, but one
of them. Justice Thomas H. Connelly,
recommends that Catcher Henry be not
required to change his occupation on
the ground that he could not do so
"without substantial financial loss to
himself and others." Justice Connelly
Interprets "others" as Including his
employers.
The majority of the board, in dis
putlng Henry's claim, believe that the
conduct of the business of the regis
tram s employers Is secondary to the
winning of the war and that they must
necessarily expect to make some sacri
fice, but the financial welfare of the
registrant is amply provided for in a
manufacturing business which he con
trols, located at Amherst. Mass.
Lakes Naval Training Station team,
which is now touring the East.
Slim Bailee is at present suffering
with a lame back, probably resulting
from cold contracted 'in the muscles.
Benny Kauff reports from Camp
Sherman that be 1m enjoying Army life,
but wishes some of his friends would
write to him. It's a safe bet that Benny
knows everybody in the camp by this
time.
The Reds are getting back Into their
stride again at the expense of the
Phillies.
The treatment to which the Braves
have been subjected In Pittsburg prob
ably has taken a lot of steam out of
the Boston rooters, who just a little
while ago were nursing pennant hopes.
According to the final averages of
the southern league. Ham Hyatt, now
with the Yankees, ranked third in hit
ting, with a mark of .3S2. He was
leading the league In home runs, with
five, when the organization was dis
banded.
Bill Kay, the heavy-hitting outfielder
of the Birmingham club, who may be
come a member of the Brooklyn team,
has been hitting the ball at a .370 clip.
f- Chief Meyers is having another big
year with the stick. The Indian has
been clouting at a .360 clip for George
Wlltse's Buffalo club.
Hal Chase made a home run at Cin
cinnati on Saturday last, and It was

mon's double over the left field fence.
Harmon and Gus Fisher made the lone
est hits of the day, each putting the
pin over me ience for two bases.
"Shine" celebrated his return to the
game by making a beautiful peg and
knocking the only extra base hit his
teammates made off Bill James. Har

Leaders Will Fight for Title.
LOS ANGELES, July 14. Vernon and
Los Angeles, leaders in the Pacific
Coast League race when it closed to
day, will begin a nine-game series
for the championship here, Wednesday.
George Brandon, the Portland ban
tamweight who recently enlisted in the
Navy, is boxing in sensational form in
Oakland and San Francisco, and the
clever Portland battler may set up a
bantamweight record that the Port
land fistic fans can point to with pride.
Brandon in stationed at the Radio
School on Mare Island and in his spare
time assists as boxing instructor of
his company. On July 4, he obtained
a day off and fought a boy by the
name of Bobby Landon, who Is well
thought of around Oakland. George
beat Landon from pillar to post, win
ning an easy decision. Landon weighed
123 pounds, while Brandon tipped the
beams at 118 pounds. On the follow
ing night, July S. he met Larry Jones,
at Dreamland Rink. San Francisco.
What Brandon did to Jones was a
shame, winning by a mile.
But here is the best of it. Last
Friday night Brandon, who is now
known around the bay section as
"Sailor" George Brandon. Journeyed
over from Mare Island to San Fran
cisco and knocked out the well-known
Portland featherweight, Shel McCool,
in three rounds.
McCool is Beaten.
McCool left Portland over a year ago
and has been fighting with great suc
cess in California, and has been hailed
after several of his bouts as a likely
looking featherweight contender. Bran
don and McCool put up a hot fight for
several rounds, when all of a sudden
George ripped in a smashing left, fol
lowed by a right uppercut that put
McCool out for the count. While in
Portland McCool met and defeated such
boys as Sammy Morris, Joe' Gorman
and others, and the news of Brandon's
knocking him out came as a surprise
to his friends here, although it is
known .that Brandon has been coming
along in championship style of late.
Before he enlisted in the Navy sev
eral months ago. Brandon showed ex
ceptional form in his boxing in local
gymnasiums. While here he had a lot
of bad luck in the way of sickness.
Brandon always was one of the most
popular boys at his weight here and
never failed to put up a battle. Hie
fighting weight is from 116 to 120 and
he Is always in condition. He was
not of draft age, being only 19 years.
Bromeo to Meet Wing.
Brandon has plenty of time to train
at Mare Island and has a number of
classy boxers to work out with. His
career is still young and when the war
is over and he steps out In civilian life
again, he will be ready to take on the
best boys at his weight in the country.
Claire Bromeo, the flashy San Fran
Cisco featherweight, and Weldon Will
ing Wing will likely put-up the next
main event at the Vancouver Barracks.
Wing got in strong with the soldiers
and Vancouver fans when he lifted
decision over Joe Gorman, while Bro
meo polished off Eddie Hagerty, a sol
dier boxer of note, on the same bill-
Billy Mlske was forced to call off his
match with "Kid" Norfolk in Boston be
cause of an attack of ptomaine poison
ing. The tt. Paul heavyweight re
ceived $254 for training expenses, but
had no forfeit up for his appearance.
The match will take place later in the
month.
Jack Doyle, who promotes the boxing
shows at Vernon, Cal., has announced
hat he Is going to do away with the
udge syBtem at all Vernon bouts.
Hereafter he will let the referee de
cide the winner, and if he is wrong the
fans will know who to blame.
Harry Case-, the Seattle lightweight
who was called In the first draft, is
now In France and doing well. He takes
part in a boxing match often and has
won every start.
There are many boxers at the Foun
dation Shipyards now. Look them over
Alex Trambitas, Bob McAllister, Frank
Kendall, Joe Gorman, Weldon Wing.
Ted Hoke. Abe and Sammy Gordon,
Eddie Herman. Claire Bromeo. Joe
Levy, Muff Bronson. lightweight cham
plon of the Pacific Coast, and several

Pete Mitchle. the Battling Dane, will
start training again this week. Pete
has not had a bout in some time and
wants to get In shape for the coming
Fall and Winter campaign. Mitchle is
working at the Cornfoot shipyard.
George Chip, the Newcastle, Pa., mid
dleweight who has met every good
middleweight in the world, fought
10-round bout against Ieo Benz in
Butte, Mont., the other night.
Si
Marty Farrell has been offered
match with Battling Ortega In Oak
land next week. He does not know
whether he will accept Tommy Simp
son's offer or not.
There Is a telegram at the sporting
editor's desk for Marty Farrell.
Carl Martin, a 125-pounder who had
number of bouts here, is with the
Third Oregon in France. His last
match before the local fans was a six
round affair against Weldon Wing at
Vancouver Barracks.

BOXING MATCH BLOCKED
FIl.TON-DEMPSEY CO APPEARS TO
HAVE HARD SLIODDIXG.
After Bring Prevented From Fighting
In Several Places, Even New Jer
sey Refuge Falls.
Fred Fulton and Jack Dempsey have
lighted their lanterns again and are
looking fof another place to box for
a lot of money. Unless Governor Edge
of New Jersey intervenes, their sched
uled eight-round bout will not be held
at Newark Saturday night, July 20.
John Smith, chairman of the New
Jersey Boxing Commission, revoked
the permit he issued to Alexander
Archibald, director of finance of the
city of Newark, to hold a boxing show
for the benefit of the Clark Griffith
bat and ball fund. It was at this show
that Fulton and Dempsey were to have
boxed. Archibald is said to be greatly
incensed over the decision or Chair
man Smith and says that he will appeal
to Governor Edge.
Smith declared in as many words
that the intention to bring Fulton and
Dempsey together was comouflaged
He said: "This is jugglery pure and
simple, and the commission will stand
for no such cloak for this fight.
The Fulton-Dempsey match is more
or less of a homeless wanderer. It was
stopped in Connecticut by the Gover
nor of the state. The police authorl
ties in Baltimore turned their thumbs
down on It. Now the New Jersey Com
mission makes a comeback and says
"r.sy."
Right Off the Bat.
The Giants have yet to win a game
on the Cubs field this season.
Chicago fans, who early In the sea
son were reputed to be hostile to Larry
Doyle, have, on the contrary, been ver
generous In their applause for the
Giant veteran.
The Cubs certainly will miss Bill
Klllefer when he goes Into the Army.
He has been the prime factor in th
success of the team.

SWIM IS STAMINA TEST
FRANCES COW ELLS' CROSSING
UOLDEX GATE NOTABLE.
OF
Absence of Faaar Durark Deplored by
Kansi Weather aad Sea Prove
Almost Too Formidable.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., July 14.
When Miss Francea Cowells repeated
her victory of last year recently by
winning the second annual girls' swim
ming race across the Golden Gate, it
generally was deplored that mlsunder
standings which have arisen since her
arrival here prevented Miss ranny Du
rack, the Australian champion, from
being a competitor.
While Miss Durack holds world s
championships in practically all dis
tances, she specializes in the longer
races and the recent test of endurance
would have given swimming enthusi
asts a real opportunity to view the
relative merits of local swimmers when
compared to the champion.
As It turned out. the Independence
day swimming race across the famous
entrance Into San Francisco Bay. was
an endurance test in every sense of
the word. Old-time watermen stated
that conditions never were worse for
a swim, owing to the strong wind, heavy
seas, and cold, and advised against the
attempt- Nineteen of the 25 girls en
tered made the start. Of these eight
only were able to battle their way to
the finish through the waves and tides.
and to combat the chill of both air and
water.
According to swimming authorities
conditions were such as to daunt even
a man and the pluck shown by the girls
who finished has been recognized In all
accounts of the race. Wonder is ex
pressed that any of them were able to
Btick to the task to the end. Some idea
of the fight may be gleaned from the
fact that while Miss Cowells time last
year was 41 minutes and 15 seconds.
It took her one hour. 14 minutes and 10
seconds to cover the distance this year.
It was nearly three-quarters of
hour later before the second girl to
finish fought her way across the line.
It took the eighth girl to finish two
hours. 26 minutes and 50 seconds to
cover the distance, which Is approxi
mately one and one-quarter miles. .With
normal conditions last year the 14th
to finish made the distance in one hour,
15 minutes and 7 seconds.
Of the eight who finished this year.
all were in good condition when they
came out of the water, although more
or less exhausted by their efforts.
