The biggest crowd of baseball fans
and fanettes of the Shipbuilders' season
was on hand at the Vaughn-street
Park yesterday afternoon, and saw Mc
Cormlck administer a 5-to-3 defeat to
Cornfoot and Foundation take Colum
bia River down the line by the score of
8 to 1.
"Ham" McCormick's league leaders
made their Portland debut in a blaze
of glory- and fully lived up to the repu
tation gained in the wild and mountain
ous region of St. Helena. Although a
long: one, the game was interesting
from start to finish and was replete
. with action. ,
Harstad In Rare Form.
Big Oscar Harstad was in good -form
and held Cornfoot at his mercy when
It came to the pinches. The McCor
mlck team also backed him up on every
play and, barring the ninth inning,
Cornfoot did not make any show of
winning the -a.me. "Suds" Sutherland
started the contest for Cornfoot, but
was retired by Manager Perle Casey in
the fifth inning after two walks and
an error.
Frank Rap p. the former Buckaroo
southpaw, took his place and managed
to hold McCormlck to five hits, which
was the same as was blngled off
Sutherland. "Suds" would have gotten
by. but he was as wild as a March
hare at times and Casey became pan
icky several times before he yanked
the popular twirler. Harstad fanned
10 Cornfoot batters.
McCormlck made one run In the first
inning, two in the second and two in
the eighth. Pike scored the run in the
first frame, when he was forced In on
Reld's walk. Eddie Mensor came up
first and went out short to first. Pike
made a nice single through second.
Locker stepped to the plate and singled
to center field. Bill Feuerborn ground
ed out to first. Sutherland walked
Walter Cartwrlght, filling the bases.
Reld also walked, forcing in Pike.
Stanley Cartwrlght went out to first
finishing the inning.
Two Scored In Second.
Haughland and Harstad scored Mc
Cormick's two runs in the second in
ning. Haugland came up first and
knocked out a long hit to left field.
Harstad walked. Mensor sacrificed to
first. Pike was safe on Fitchner's er
ror and Haugland scored. Locker hit
to center, bringing in Harstad. Locker
was caught stealing second and Feuer
born struck out.
In the eighth inning Bill Feuerborn
got his cut when he hit out a beauti
ful single with three on, which brought
in Mensor and Pike. That ended Mc
Cormick's scoring. x
Cornfoot scored one run in the second
Inning, one in the fourth and one in
the ninth. French was up first in the
second rrame ana hit over second base.

Harstad Whiffs Three.
In the third inning Harstad fanned

up the fourth with a nifty two-bagger
ana scored on rencn'e hit through

In the ninth Cornfoot made another
tally and for a few minutes threatened
to make things interesting. Frenph

' "S irencn. i;asey was out, sec
ond to rirst. Bourg walked, Rapp
struck out and McKenna filed out to
jeit field, ending the game.
Locker, Haugland and Mensor led
in the batting attack for McCormlck,
while Cliff Lee and French starred
with the willow for Cornfoot.
Peterson's Hitting Perfect.
The opening game between Founda
tion and Columbia River was the
"bunk" and proved only a fair workout
for Harry Cason s speedy aggregation.
Foundation murdered the ball and
made 13 hits in the seven Innings that
tne game went.
Gunner Peterson got four clean hits
In four times up.
BUI Stumpf and Bill Gleason each
garnered two hits in three trips to the
pan. Feichtinger was good for two
safe ones In four tours to the rubber.
"Kewpie" Clow pitched for Founda
tion, while Dick Mitchell worked for
Columbia River. "Slick" Lind. Unlver
slty of Oregon; star', made his debut on
first base for Foundation, and made
good impression on the fans.

PENINSULA WINS HARD GAME
Grant Smith-Porter Forced to Bite
Dust in Eleventh.
Peninsula defeated Grant Smith-
Porter yesterday afternoon in an ex
citing 11-lnning game by the score
of 5-4 at St. Johns. Although the game
was listless at the beginning, it had
the folks standing on fhelr toes the
last few innings.
Wayne Barham, prize right-hander
' Smith-Porter, had a lot of stuff on
the ball the first seven Innings, and
would have won handily had Peninsula
ot tied the score in the eighth frame
fter two men had been put out. Four
hits, including two-baggers by Will
iams and Lind, gave Peninsula three
runs. Smith-Porter came back in its
half of the eighth and tallied once on
Blanchard's two-base swat to center.

Peninsula tied the score in the ninth.

rror after Shoot and Downie made
easy outs. Two hits in a row by Ripple
nd Wlrts chased the runner across the
pan.
The tenth Inning went scoreless, but
Peninsula won out in the 11th when
hits by Powers, Downey and Wlrts sent
the pitcher over the rubber.
Wayne Barham was the hitting star
of the day, getting four hits In five
attempts, one of them a two-bagger
clearing the right field fence by about
ten feet. Kek Blanchard also had a
good day with the willow, getting
three safe smacks and a walk in four
rips to the plate. Wlrts made three
hits out of five attempts.

SUPPLE - BALLIN OUTCLASSED
Standlfer, With Pillett in Box, Wins
by Top-heavy Score.
VANCOUVER. Wash., July 21. (Spe
cial.) Standlfer defeated Supple-Ballln
today by the score of 9-2, thereby going
into second place, Cornfoot having lost
to McCormlck. Although Davis, of
Supple-Ballln, pitched fair ball, his sup
port was rather erratic and eight bases
on balls charged to his delivery were
mostly responsible for the large score.
"String Bean" Pillett pitched his
usual steady game, and held the losers
to five scattered hits, striking out ten
men. Johnson, of Standlfer, was the
hitting star of the day, making two
doubles and a single in five times at
bat The score:

Attention to Successors.
SAN FRANCISCO, CiL July 21.
With the men champions In all lines
of sport supporting the colors In the
great war, the women athletes who ex
cel in their particular branch or ac
tivity rapidly are coming to- the fore
and receiving the notice which for
merly was accorded the male.
With the sporting pages unable
longer to record the prowess of Nor
man Ross or other swimming cham
pions in the water, or Norris Williams
on the tennis court, or other National
or world's title holders among the men.
the girl expert is attracting unusual
attention.
The doings of Fanny Durack and
Minna Wylle, Australian girl cham
plons. have supplanted those of Ross
and other mermen who now are in the
various branches of the National serv
Ice. Mrs. William A. Gavin, considered
one of the best golf players in the
United States, occupies the newspaper
space which formerly was accorded to
members of the male persuasion.
These girl experts are contributing
in various ways to the many war ac
tivitles. Mrs. Gavin, who has been
playing golf on the Coast, recently
played in a tournament for the benefit
of the Red Cross which netted that
organization . approximately S4000.
There was lively bidding among the
men who were anxious to pay for the
privilege of acting as her caddy during
the match. The successful bidder paid
in excess of $1000 in order to carry
Mrs. Gavin's bag full of clubs over the
course.
While the men fliers still continue
to be heard from in the reports of air
raids and air battles from the fighting
front, the American bird-girl has been
coming to the fore, and there are many
who believe that the near future will
see many of them taking to the air.
Miss Katherlne Stinson. holder of the
American record for endurance among
women, also has contributed to the
cauae in various flights, her work In
the last liberty loan drive being a
feature.
