T3 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. MONDAY AUGUST 4, 1919. CDAST LEAGUE RACE DEVELOPS THRILLS Bare Possibility of Dark-Horse Winner Foreseen. TIGHTER RACE EXPECTED Southern Teams, However, Appear to Be Making Highest Bid, With .Little Chance of Upset. The coast league race ts developing even more thrills than the most opti mistic fan had anticipated. To be sure, the Angels are not feeling per haps quite as comfortable or as well satisfied with life as they were a. lew weeks ago, but even they must be forced to admit that the pennant scramble is proving highly interesting, even more so since last week's series. The Angels did nobly against Portland, while Vernon was treated to a rough surprise by Oakland. To all Intents and purposes, the 1919 pennant will be won by a southern club, but there are such things as un foreseen slumps in baseball. It is pos sible that some dark-horse team may step in and win the coveted rag just possible. The tightening up of the race has been a great thing for the game on the Pacific coast. Upsets make baseball; runaway races ruin it. The outlook in decidedly bright, unless some team sets up such a commanding lead that the finish will be a foregone conclusion long before the windup date. Vernon always has been a good road club and Arbuckles' aggregation is ex pected to win a goodly portion of its games on its present trip, despite the more or less "panicky" showing against Oakland. Bill Esslck has received major-league pitching talent and time ly hitting. It will take a railroad wreck to jar the club loose, providing the hired hands play up to their stand ard. Salt Lake and San Francisco are dangerous. The Bees are fighters and it is a hard club to beat that does not know when it is licked. Seattle will testify to that. San Francisco does not figure on pper, but neither did the Beavers in 1914. The race is the closest in the annals of coast league baseball, and nothing could be fairer than that. ... The Angels will start their second week of a month's home session against Oakland tomorrow, with Sacramento coming the week after. The many reversals suffered by the Angels in the past six weeks have caused Manager Killefer much worry. He realizes, just as the fans do, that he must have pitchers, an infieldor or two, and at least one outfielder. A catcher also would come in handy. The flinging staff is not what it should be. Doc Crandall and Curly Brown are the only reliable twirlers. Bunny Fabrique has failed to hit, and Bert Niehoff, although fielding sen sationally, is not hitting as he ought. Kube Ellis is losing out. Niehoff came up somewhat in the series against Portland. . "Walter McCredie and his luckless Beavers will drag their weary limbs through Portland on their way to Se attle Tuesday or Wednesday for a series with the Purple Sox in the Sound City. Seattle has been getting the rasz from Salt Lake, while the Beavers re ceived similar treatment from the An gels. It will be a sort of consolation series. The Beavers are worse off than when they left the fair city of roses several weeks ago, but are bat tling, despite all reverses and hard luck. Many strange tales of baseball and nales have been told, but none of them are more startling than the one in which Hairy Hopper was the center. The deal Is noteworthy now. not so much for the small size of the pur chase prize, but for the fame which the player later earned. In the old days of outla.w baseball in California Oakland bought Hopper from Sacramento. The sum paid was $25 cash money. Cal Ewing, of course; once traded George Wheeler to the Angels for a box of cigars. And there are half a dozen good stories going around of players traded for a dog or a good din ner. Bobby Meusel is the equal of his brother. Irish, as a player. So said Forest Cady, the latest big-league ac quisition to the Vernon catching staff, after watching Robert in action for several days. Cady should know what he is talking about, as he was with Irish in Phila rlelnhia and is now with Bobby. "Bobbv lleusel is a natural hitter nnrl has a ereat arm." said Cady. "I nrediet a great future for him. Right now he is the equal of Irish, and Irish is some player." ... Four clubs, among whom are the Tubs and Ked Sox, are trying to obtain the services of Outfielder Biil Cunning ham. Bill Clymer is willing to let the young plaver go if the club will turn over a number of players. The best offer he has yet received is ono player and some cash. CAMP (SERVICE TO GIVE SHOW Boxins and Wrestling Bouts Billed for Tuesday Entertainment. A boxing and wrestling exhibition will be staged at the dinner for en listed men to be given by the War Camp Community Service at the sol diers' and sailors' club tomorrow even ing. The programme is in charge of Anderson A. Garlock, physical training specialist. "Kid" Roseoe and Frankie Webb will put on a three-round boxing exhibition and Ray Lesher and "Ad" Garlock will do some wrestling. Other numbers are being arranged. The girls of the vie- tory chorus will serve the men, taking their turn at this task which the men performed last week for them. Dan cing will follow the dinner. Reserva tions should be made at once by call ing the soldiers' and sailors' club, since the seating capacity is limited. baby" eeayeks wix twice Portland All-Stars Set Back in Dou header, 10-5 and 9-0.

Many hands have risen in horror be-r-misc Artie Fletcher and Rube Benton had a scrap right out in public, and on Sundav. too. at the folo grounas. The battle, which was one more of words than fists, will be seized on, it is feared, by the opponents of Sunday baseball. Of course, it is poor guag ment for two players, particularly teammates, to fight anywhere, espe cially In public but we decline to be come horror-stricken over the incident, or jump at the conclusion that it was u outburst of rowdyism, ay th e.w Crawford.

Jack Curley of New Tork, who for a number of years has been the country's leading wrestling promoter and who i has staged some of the biggest lights j in history, arrived in Portland yester day stopping off until tomorrow when he will leave for San Francisco. Cur ley is making the trip a. combined busi ness and pleasure affair and has a number of bees buzzing in his bonnet. It was Curley who first put Jess Willard to the fore and promoted the fight between the man mountain and Jack Johnson In Havana, when Willard won the title. During the past lew years Curley has been Identified more with the wrestling game than boxing but now and then finds time to stage a battle between the topnotchers. Irmrry-Meehan Bout Sought. Curley now has a bid in for a bout between Jack Dempsey and Willie Mee han, the San Francisco heavyweight. He had a conference in Chicago Friday with Jack Kearns, the champion's man ager, and was practically assured that Dempsey would fight for him in pref erence to any other promoter, in Demp sey's first bout since he won the crown. Kearns told Curley that theatrical work would keep Dempsey on the jump and that he would not be able to fight until December at least. While in San Francisco Curley will have a long talk with Meehan and if he clinches the bout will stage it at Newark, N. J. Cur ley is also angling for a match between Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, and Charley White, which he plans to stage in the west.

Cur ley says that this wrestling trust dope is all bunk and that such propaganda is spread by jealous managers and promoters. Curley's leading wrestler at the present time is Wladek Zbyszko. Curley is a great admirer of Jack Dempsey and picked the latter to de feat Willard. He said he believes that there - are not any heavyweights now boxing that have a chance to whip Dempsey and that it will be only a matter of time until some new sensa tion is uncovered that can take Dempsey's measure. Curley, however, is of the opinion that Dempsey might have experienced some rougher sailing if he had met the Jess Willard that fought Jack Johnson In Havana.

SINCE Speaker took charge, the In dians axe coming around almost as fast as the deal in three-handed poker. ... Yank's manager chirps that it is always darkest before dawn. But no baseball games were ever won at that time of day. A bird who has lamped Dempsey and never piped Beckett shouldn't try dope the winner. The only fan who Is qualified to pick 'em is the fellow who hasn't seen either. t Boston pitchers must lead .a damp life. When it isn't raining they're under the shower baths. Frank Moran buzzes that when he hit 'em they stayed down. Frank never made 'em bounce five times like Jack Dempsey. Tough picking for Bill Clymer. The team has home uniforms in which they never feel at home and traveling uni forms In which they never travel. Also caps which are empty on or off. . It seems that society objects to lowering the high cost of living be cause it will make it common. ... Jack Dempsey tells how in the early days he stopped at a farmhouse and asked for a bite. The boss of the household the wife sent the family bulldog after him and he departed. "Not that I care to put any oar In the troubled sea of world politics, but to my way of looking at it, more than one of the delegates to the peace conference must have been & south paw." James J. Richardson. A balloon race for the championship of the world will start from St. Louis, October 1. Bill Himple. the Tillamook Blimp, will not be entered. TAYLOR, when asked to give is viewB on the most common causes of failure among women play ers and some possible remedies, said: "I have found that the greatest fault to which women are addicted in en deavorlng to propel the golf ball is their frantic effort to follow through. They seem to chink that in this lies great salvation and fondly Imagine that, when accomplished, a long ball must result. They fc.ppear discouraged and mystified when nothing of the sort occurs. In their endeavor to get through they have forgotten the most important point of all. and that is to hit at the ball at a certain stage of the swing. They 'follow through.' it is true, but they allow the right shoulder to get in front of the hands and club head, with the inevitable result that the ball is floundered and pushed away to the right a most insignificant distance. "To cure this. I advise that a dis tinct hit be made at the ball when the club-head is about halfway toward the ball on the downward swing, and as the club-head actually meets the ball. both feet should be flat on the ground By so doing a leverage is obtained that cannot be had when the body is poised on the toes. The f latfootedness allows this hit to be accomplished, and the club-head to meet the bail with deci sion and vigor. It enables also the club-head to move relatively quicker through, and consequently to get In front of the right shoulder and away on the projected line. Tne impetus with which the club-head goes through will give vou the sufficient follow, which in turn will bring the right heel off the ground and prevent you looking as if you were glued to tne eartn. Frank Chance Is Prophet. Frank Chance was th-e first base ball man to predict the managerial suc cess of Patrick Moran, who threatens to win the national league pennant with the RedR. Chance, when he handled the Cubs, had Moran and Tom Need- ham, both catchers, on his team. Later, when Chance took hold of the Yankees in 1913, he vainly tried to obtain Moran as a coach. Moran was helping Charley Dooin. manager of the Phillies, at that time and the- Quaker owners refused to let Pat go. Zi miner Breaks Into Spotlight. Chief Zimmer. a big league catcher of few years ago, broke into the spot light -recently in Cleveland, when he came to the fore with an argument that baseball was sadly in need of more hitting, because hitting pleased the public and the public pays base ball's bills. Zimmer, it will be remem bered. was at one time one of the lead ing backstops in the big show, and of course his knowledge of such matters is more than superficial. Burton to Handle Yacht. It has been decided that W. P. Bur ton, vice-president of the Yacht Racing association and one of the best ama teur helmsmen in Great Britain, shall have full control of the arrangements to be made for Sir Thomas Llpton's Shamrock IV as challenger for the America's cup.
