With both Pillett and Baker in su perb form yesterday's game looked like an extra-inning affair up to the seventh frame, when Baker weakened long enough for Standifer to chase their first run across. Johnson crashed single to right field. Moore sacrificed him to second. Carman laid the wood on the first ball Baker pitched to him to the left field fence for a double,' scoring Johnson. Standifer annexed their second tally in the eighth, when Coleman walked, took second on Hart man's sacrifice, and scored from third when Locker dropped FeueTborn's throw of Pillett's grounder. Standifer put across its final tallj In the ninth canto when Moore singled to center, reached second on Carman's sacrifice, pulled up at third on Mar shall's single and scored on a fielder's choice. St. Helens had a chance to score in the second when with the bases loaded and two out the best Ray Baker could do with Pillett's offerings was to around out. second to first.

Linn .County Jurist Read, Only Short Time Before, of Track Incident Reminding; Him of Beach. ALBANY, Or, Sept 1. (Special.) "Jean J., the brown mare valued at $4000 by her owner, E. G. Johnson, of Seattle, dropped dead at the Irvington Park races yesterday." This item appeared in the "Twenty- five Years Ago" column of The Ore gonian last Thursday. When D. B. Mc- Knight County Judge of Linn County, read this item it carried his thoughts back a quarter of a century to the time when he saw this occurrence, and .he recalled that when this mare dropped dead she was being 'driven by Jay Beach, for years one of Oregon's most prominent horsemen. The judge re marked that he had not heard of Beach for many years and would like to know what had become of him. That morning when Judge McKnight went to his office. Edward Washburn, bailiff of the grand jury, met him in the halt "An old soldier was here to see you yesterday when you were at Lebanon," he told him. "He waited around a long time and was very anxious to see you. He said his name was Jay Beach." It developed that Mr. Beach had been attending the Grand Army of the Re public gathering in Portland and had stopped here to see Judge McKnight while on his way to his home some where in California. He did not leave his address so his old friend cannot write him. Beach formerly resided in Oregon many years, but has been s resident of California for a long time. Judge McKnight said today that Beach did more than any other breeder for the light harness horse in Oregon. Hillls, Cathey, Downs, Seavey and Carey Other Winners; Today to Be Final Day of Tournament.

Only one game will be played in the Columbia-Willamette Shipbuilders' League this afternoon. As McCormick clinched the pennant Saturday when they defeated Cornfoot and because of the poor crowds, the officials and man agers of the teams in the league have decided to call it a season, calling off the proposed 'games for St Helens and Vancouver this afternoon. The only game will be between Foundation and Cornfoot at the Vaughn-street park. Foundation will play McCormick post-season series of five games for the championship of the league starting next Sunday. The fans have supported the ship builders' games fairly well and would have stood behind them a wnole lot stronger if all or more of the teams had been of equal strength in the first and second half of the season. The first half of the season Foundation and Grant Smith-Porter had it all to them selves and in the .second half three teams McCormick, Cornfoot and Stan difer have been on top all season. A big argument is sizzling in the San Francisco Shipyards League around the Interpretation of the rule which covers the eligibility of players. The issue in point covers the actual employment of players as shipyard workers, and on the decision of that point rests the fu ture of several players who are not now occupied in the business of producing ships. When the league was organized the officials stated that the eligibility for membership on any of the teams rested entirely on employment in the yard of the company represented. BOXING INTERESTS FANS NUMBER OF CONTESTS WILL BE STAGED IX NORTHWEST TODAY. Muff Bronson, Coast Lightweight Cham pion, Will Defend Hia Title Against Frankle Tucker at Everett. A number of boxing contests will be staged in the Northwest today, all of which are of Interest to the Portland boxing fans. Muff Bronson, Pacific Coast lightweight champion, will de fend his title against Frankie Tucker in Everett Wash., this afternoon. Muff has had some trouble with his shoulder of late, which he injured in a recent fall at the Foundation shipyards, but he does not expect it will handicap him in his bout with Tucker. They will box four rounds. In Aberdeen there will be two 10- round bouts on one card. "Fighting" Jimmy Darcy will clash with Steve Reynolds in the main event while Claire Bromeo will tangle with Freddie Lough in the semi-wlndup, also 10 rounds. Astoria, which is never without a boxing bout on the Fourth of July or Labor day, will be the scene of a 10 round go between Morris Lux, the late arrival from Kansas City, who is vouched for by Bob McAllister, and Lee Morrissey, the Salt Lake lightweight Mick King, the Australian middle weight, will swap punches with Leo Benz in Butte, Mont, over the 20-round route. Abe Gordon, the Portland fly weight, who holds the championship of the Pacific Coast will meet Danny Cun- ingharn. of Butte, in the semi-wlndup. Ii e-'-ZJRNISHERS Sc HATTERS 286 Washington Street xy RECEIPTS IV DROP World Series, However, Will Attract Many Fans. THOUSANDS TO BE MISSING Each Member of Winning Team This Tear Is to Receive $2 00 0, While Loser's Individual End Will Amount to $1400. NEW YORK, Sept 1. While neither gate receipts nor attendance figures are expected to be broken at the coming World Series, baseball fans throughout the country iare certain to watch the daily returns with more than the usual interest owing to the changed condi tions under which the series will be played. Two outstanding features are apparent which heretofore have not been faced by either the players or the magnates at any time in the history of the baseball classic. No such National or international crisis has .ever prevailed during the playing of a world series as exists at this time. Under normal conditions the annual clash of the pennant win ning clubs of the rival major leagues has each season been one of the events of the year. The play was followed each day by hundreds of .thousands of baseball enthusiasts in all parts of the country. Great cities and little hamlets in isolated sections of the continent nave witnessed the daily gathering of throngs before the bulletin and player boards to follow the fortunes of the competing teams. Today the mind of the public is burdened with great re sponsibilities and cares and the world series at best can be but a momentary diversion. Under the circumstances it appears certain that while the games may be well attended, there will be nothing like the great outpouring of fans which have each year filled the parks to capacity and svelled the coffers of the clubs and players. Strange to say this will make little difference to the men who will participate in the diamond battles for under the new sys tem of apportioning the winner's and loser's individual share of the receipts they can secure only a fixed sum, re gardless of the total of the gate re ceipts. .As adopted last Winter by the two leagues and the National Commission the amended regulations provide that each member of the winning club shall receive $2000. as his share of the world series proceeds while the loser's in dividual end will amount to $1400. The total of these sums will come from the usual 60 per cent of the gate re ceipts for the first four games of th series. The new arrangement, how ever, calls for a further distribution ol the balance of this 60 per cent fund among the players of the three clubs which finish the pennant race of both leagues respectively; second, third and fourth. After the 'money apportioned to ths players of the two competing teams has been deducted- from the original 60 per cent the residue will be divided upon the following basis: To the play ers of the National and American League clubs finishing second in their respective race, 50 per cent; to the third- place ekibs, 30 per cent, and to the fourth-place clubs, 20 per cent This new arrangement does not af fect the club owners or the National Commission, however, for the old rule of distribution still prevails. Of the 40 per cent of the gate receipts of the first four games, the National Com mission will receive 10 per cent and the club owners 30 per cent. After four games have been staged the players cease to participate in the distribution and the National Commission will re ceive 10 per cent and the club owners 90 per cent The winning and losing clubs are called upon, however, to di vide 25 per cent of their world series share with the other seven clubs in their respective leagues.

H. Gilbert secretary f the Massachusetts Golf Association, and revised by Captain J. A. bcott or Boston. These interpretations should be very edifying to new and even to experienced golfers, for they call at tention to points too often overlooked. In discussing the time to drive, these interpretations say: "It is customary to t the players of the party ahead play their second shots, no matter if their rives are far beyond the possibility or your driving." A too strict observance or mis cus tom would tend to slow down play on a crowded day. It often happens that pair o'f poor players follow the stars of the course, who regularly outdrive those behind by from 40 to 60 yaras. To hold back until these high lights play their second shots would be to de lay the movement ol tne line, ana migni be considered as arguing too high an appreciation of one's doubtful ability. In the case of women playing, it ' is generally safe to allow them to play even before the good men players ahead take their seconds, as the men will be anywhere from 80 to 100 yards beyond where the women can drive. It will profit many an experienced golfer to read these interpretations with care, for they will. freshen up one s knowledge of the rules on points wnicn a olaver may not have had occasion to deal with for several years, but which may arise at any moment in play. Ball Must Be Dropped. Take, for example, the simple rule of droDDing a ball, which comes up so often in play. How many players know that the ball must be dropped, not tossed, over the shcrulder? Is it not a common sight on any course to see tne players raise their hand to the top of the shoulder ana give tne Dan a hick or toss over tne snouiaer insieaa oi placing the hand far enough over the shoulder to permit the ball to be dropped clear of the body? This mistake is the result ol pure laziness more than anything else, with the exception, perhaps, of the reeling that it is a little beneath one's dignity to spend much time or devote much care to so simple a thing as dropping a ball. It is in watching great players like Travers and Ouimet that one comes to understand the necessity of being right in little things. In this respect there is a great value in galleries at big matches such as the recent Ked Cross four-ball at Siwanoy. The penalty for not dropping the ball properly is the loss of the hole in match play and two strokes in meaat piay. Yet how seldom does a player "can his opponent for not having dropped properly, even if the ball was actually pitched over the shoulder. It is in thus overlooking rule violations rather than run the risk of getting the name of a kicker or a stickler that rules fall into Under the heading of "Whose Turn to Play," the interpretations say some thing that is Yiot often considered and has been overlooked even by the Rules of Golf committee of St Andrews, Scot land, as shown in its book of decisions on contested points submitted to it for judgment The writer in Spalding's Guide says: "You should, before play ing, find out where your opponent's ball is, for the one whose ball is farther from the hole must play first" St. Andrews Decision Opposed, This view negatives the correctness of the decision of the St Andrews body in the case of a golfer who played into a bunker and in playing out before his pponent's ball was looked for struck lie sand with his club., Later it was learned that the opponent s ball could not be found. The committee ruled that the player who touched the sand in the hazard had lost the hole. Now, if the player in the bunker Tiad taken advantage of the privilege men tioned in the Guide he would not have played till he had ascertained where his opponent's ball was. When that ball could not be found he would not have had to play out of the bunker at all, but could have claimed the hole on a lost ball. The decision of the com mittee was wrong in that it awarded the hole to a player who did not have a ball in play, something opposed to every consideration of Ifair play In sport Another often ignored or not under stood rule has to do with lifting in match play and medal play. The inter pretations say: "It may be that the ball is in such trouble as to be absolutely unplayable (as when lying in a crevice between two rocks). In match play the ball must be played where it lies or the hole given up." There is no option in this matter. Many Players Get Mixed. In medal play, however, the ball may be lifted with a penalty of two strokes. The ball does not have to be in an un playable position to justify this lifting. for it is pointed out that "while this privilege of lifting is usually exercised only if the ball is unplayable, it is al lowed at any time during a round and sometimes is taken advantage of by cautious players when in difficult posi tions in sand traps, etc. Many players get mixed on the count in such cases but they will not if they listen to the explanation given in the Guide: "If the ball be played Into an unplayable position in medal play and you desire to lift under penalty of two strokes, you should count as follows: If it is the drive, then you tee the ball and play 4, counting the drive as stroke 1. the penalty as 2 and 3, thus making the next stroke 4." If Spalding will make these interpre tations a feature of each year's Guide, keeping them up to date, in harmony with the latest decisions, a positive ben efit will accrue to the game, not only ! in educating the newcomers, but also in enlightening those older players who Bobby Evans has been heard from again and this time the former local boxing promoter who intends return ing to this city this week and pliina staging a benefit boxing smoker here during the latter part of the month gives a line on his tentative Doxing programme. Evans is not so sure that he will b able to land Jack Dempsey and if he does he questions the ability to pit him against a fighter capable of even making a mediocre showing with the battler who claims the heavyweight title. Evans will know definitely whether he will secure Dempsey as a headliner after a conference' with Man ager Kearns and Dempsey, which will be held as soon as Dempsey arrives in San Francisco. According to Evans' latest missive he Intends signing "Battling" Kruv osky and Jimmy Darcy. That would bo a pippin of a match if Evans lands these two middleweights. Both art the same style of slam-bang fighters ho never stop mixing. Johnny McCarthy is coming north, according to Evans, and Coffroth has wired Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion now boxing instructor at Camp Lewis, asking Willie to fight Johnny in this city at the benefit smoker. All McCarthy is to receive fcr his fight is transportation expenses incurred en route and while in Port land and his salary as a motorman on the Municipal Railway while away from San Francisco. If Kitcnie ana McCarthy battle it ought to be a rip-. snorter. Bronson and Rivers is another at traction Evans figures on lining up. Efforts have been made to sign these two lightweights before but there has always been a hitch in the programme and to date they have shied clear of each other. Joe Gorman, Alex Tram bitas, Peter Mitchie, Chet Neff and others are on Evans' tentative card. according to his letter. If Captain Maloney ana taaie nan- Ion make the trip north their expenses will be paid by the Camp Fremont Athletic Council. 6-MILE SKATING RACE TONIGHT Northwest Championship at Stake at Oaks Park Rink.
