The Portland baseball company has been offered $lj,U00 by the New York National loaprue club for Pitcher John C "Red" Oldham and First Baseman Luzerne Blue. The offer came to Man ascer 'Walter H. McCredie at Los Angeles throuph Moose MoCormick, Muggpy iktlraw'fi foxy forager for tos&ers. A slip of Judge "William "W. McCre die's tongue last night caused the first information of the offer to get out here. The president of the Heavers will spend an hour and 30 minutes tvith Nephew Walter at the union sta tion tonight when the pair will talk over the deal and arrive at some defi nite conslusion. Judge AlcCredie re ceived the dope from the ifeaver man ager yesterday. Oldham is the best pitcher in the league, although he is far from the top as shown in the records. Red has pitched about as many innings as any other chucker in this western circuit and if he were with Los Angeles or Vernon would, without question, be far out In front. As it is he has won 16 and lost 13 which is a mighty fine rec ord considering the streaky manner in which the Mackian machine has per formed this semester. Lew Blue came to Portland by pur chase outright from the Uetroit Amer icans. He bats either left or right handed and is swatting tho ball at a .1:72 clip after getting off to a bad start in the swatsmith line. Blue re minds many old-timers of Hal Chase when the temperamental Califorman first broke into the game on the coast. He is tho most improved ballplayer on the team. Two major league scouts are swopp ing down on California parks Moose McCormiik of the Giants and Hugh Duffy of the Boston Red Sox. Before becoming a scout, Mi-Cormick gained renown as a pinch-hitter for McGraw's crew from Gotham, seldom failing in a crisis. Duffy, when playing, was one of the greatest hitters in the game. Later he managed the Chicago White Sox. Speaking of McCormick's ability to deliver in the well-known pinch, it might be well to say that it was un doubtedly Lew Blue's ability to punch over runs at psychological moments which prompted the Irish scout to bid for his services. It was Blue's home run in the eleventh inning which won the final game of the series for Port land at Los Angeles Sunday after noon. Lew's fielding is of the flashy variety and he's fighting for the old ball game at all times. Judge McCredie was very close mouthed on the deal last night. He did say however, that if the men were sold that he was of the opinion that they would not report until next spring. The Portland club is due at 10:30 o'clock tonight from Los Angeles and will entrain again at 11:30 o'clock for Seattle to open the series with Seattle at the sound city tomorrow afternoon. "Whether it will be a six or seven-game sessionBis not known. If seven games are played there will probably be double-headers Saturday and Sunday for one double-header at least becomes necessary because of today's postpone ment. If I'resident Jim Brewster of the Rainiers has the authority to play seven games he may call for the extra battle on next Monday and play but one game on Saturday. San Francisco entertains Vernon at the Seal Rocks city this week. Salt Lake will be the guest at Sacramento with the Oaks and Angeles scrapping it out at LossAngeles. These three series commence this afternoon. Double-headers will be in vogue every Sunday afternoon that the Beav ers are home from now on at Twenty fourth and Vaughn streets. Judge Mc Credie made this motion to the league directors and has been granted permis sion to stage such affairs. Judge McCredie, who returned late Sunday night from a two weeks' so journ at the hot baths which he for merly owned at Oakridge, Or., believes "that it was Outfielder Oeorge Maisel's injured leg which kept him from being eold to Cincinnati. Maisel Is not in the Beaver lineup at this time because of the injury and therefore would be of - little use to the Redlegs. Outfielder Billy See. obtained by Cin j cinnati from the Rochester Interna : tionals when that club failed to get the : services of Maisel, was the Babe Ruth of the International league. Like Ruth, See's strong point originally was pitch- - ing. and he was hired by Rochester as a twirlor. But he hit the ball so hard " that Arthur Irwin, Rochester's man ager, played him in the outfield when he wasn't pitching. See was leading the International league in batting when sold but his pitching suffered as 1 a result. Iat llarkins Kcal Goods. Tat llarkins, former Angel twirler. " Is one of llie heroes of the war who has t been heralded much in these parts. When America entered the scrap, 1'at went into the aviation, and be came a member of a pursuit squadron.

Curley arrived in Portland Sunday, and says there is a chance of his coming back to Portland the end of the week before proceeding to San Francisco. This depends largely on just how much of the timber deal he can close while in southern Oregon. He says he in tends to stick all of his money in Ore gon timber, preferring that to Tex Kickard's oil wells. DOTY . TEXXIS CLUB VICTOR Ccntralia Racquet Wielders Fall Be fore Invading Team.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto, Cal., Aug. 4. (Special.) A- L. Acker has been appointed assistant football coach at Stanford for the coming sea son. He will assist Coach "Bob" Evans rounding out the second Cardinal American football team in years. Acker made an excellent record in turning out two Kentucky state championship teams and his work at Stanford will consist mainly in coaching the fresh men squad. A conference between Manager Ames of Stanford and Manager Nicholls of the University of California has been scheduled in San Francisco for tomor row afternoon. The proceedings of this conference will probably settle finally the date and arrangements for the ."big game" between the two colleges. One day last week when Cincinnati was beating Pittsburg, Dutch Reuther of the Reds dusted off Fred Mollwitz, first baseman of Pittsburg. Fred got mad and soon as he regained his feet he hurled a bat at Reuther. But his j bait casting; 11 A. M control was bad and Dutch easily side stepped to safety. Mollwitz was chased out of the game and the fans panned him for losing his temper and weaken ing his team by getting fired out. At a meeting of the Multnomah Anglers' club yesterday noon at the Imperial hotel plans were discussed and final arrangements made for the north west fly and bait casting champion ships to be held on August 9 arid 10 at the Sellwood park casting pool. V alter F. Backus, secretary of the Multno mah Angiers' club, just returned from trip to Puget sound cities, was- pres ent at the meeting. Backus has been looking over some star fly and bait casting performers in Seattle and Ta coma and had some interesting news for the local casters who were present at the meeting yesterday. t Seattle will send six of her best men to the local tournament this year. J. Monette, one of Seattle's representa tives, is a dangerous man In th dis tance bait events, having won every thing in that class in the local tourna ments held in Seattle this .year. R. S. Hays and C. A. Waisen, both of Se attle, are expected to make the com petition hot for the local boys in the fly casting events. Hayes specializes in the accuracy fly events, while "Wai sen is strong in the distance fly cast ing, having a mark of 100 feet and better to his credit. F. V. Rhoades and F. S. Byler are the two other entries from Seattle. All-Hound Champ Coming. In the delegation from Tacoma will be R. H. Pcrrow, the all-round cham pion of last year, who is expected to make a strong fight for the cham pionship in the local tournament this year. W. J. Bailey and R. V. Xason, two of Tacoma's best bait casters, are expected to show up well in the bait events. Bailey will be a hard man to beat in the accuracy bait events1 and Xason has been making a good show ing in the -ounce distance bait. Dr. Ralph Hutchinson, C. R. Werner, and D. C. Gilkey are three other casters who are coming to the local tourney from Tacoma. The out-of-town anglers from tho Puget sound cities will arrive here Fri day morning and will spend most of Friday at Bell wood park getting ac customed to the local pool. They will make their headquarters at the Im perial hotel while in the city. The committee of the Multnomah Anglers club in charge of the tournament have made arrangements for lunch to be served on the grounds. The local club members have been putting in a great deal of time in prac ticing for the championship tourna ment and from the scores made In some of their practice tourneys an excel lent showing is expected of the Port land casters. The following Multno mah anglers will compete against the out-of-town stars: Walter F. Backus, William C. Block, A. E. Burghduff, Dr. A. C. McFariand, J. Brennan, Jack Her man, Ray Winters, M. Hedge, Charles Smith, Jack Meyers, K. Keller, J. Mor ris, E. Charters and Warren Cornell. Local Angler to Practice. The local anglers will hold their last practice tournament Wednesday night with the distance fly, dry fly accuracy and the -ounce bait accuracy as the event3 scheduled. There will also be a meeting of the association Saturday night at the Imperial hotel. The referees for the tournament next Saturday will be E. De Braure, Captain Rowling and George Irvine, while Louis Larsen, E. De Braure, Captain Rowling and George Irvine will officiate Sun day. All of these men were officials in the tournaments last season and proved themselves satisfactory in grad ing the events. There are five prizes in each, event, and in addition there will be the fol lowing special prizes: All-around championship, Everding silver cup; high average In all casting events, Hildebrant cup; high average in all fly-casting events, Freidlander cup; also special prizes for longest single cast in -ounce distance and fisher men's plug distance.

Jennings has built up a great ball club, no mistake, and Detroit fans, who once clamored for his release from the management, are wor shiping at iis feet. The Tigers are powerful at the bat, and are well bal anced in defensive strength. Their success this year is partially due to the F-plendid catching of Ainsmith and the improved pitching of Dauss, Khmke, Boland and Dutch Leonard. If these boxmen can hold their own for the rest of the campaign, Jennings may enjoy a laugh at the expense of the White Sox, Yankees, Clevelands and Browns. But the Tigers have two more eastern trips to make, so that Jennings sensibly re fuses to claim the pennant. Woodstock Keats Camas. The Woodstock All-Stars defeated the Camas nine at Camas Wash., Sunday by the score of 11 to 6. The feature of the game was the pitching of Lefty Leonetti, who whiffed 14 players and held the Camas team to two hits until the ninth inning,- when four errors on the part of his- teammates let in four runs.
