Yesterday's Results.
Is o games, teams traveling.
BY ROs'cOE FAWCETT.
Marked upheavals featured the past
week in the Pacif'.c Coast league.
Every second division club arose
and handed the first division rival a
wallop. Sacramento beat Vernon four
games to three; Seattle trimmed San
Kranclsco four games to three; Oak
land took the proud Salt Lakers
down a peer, four games to three,
while Portland handed poor Los
Angeles a terrifio lacing, six games o
two.
By virtue of the fine showing made
by the Beavers, Portland sailed by
Ban Francisco and Los Angeles like
a basket party past an artichoke
hotel. The morning's morning finds
Portland encamped in third position,
after having been parked In the
second division so long that some
folk thought the Beavers were in dry
dock. Temporarily the fans have relegated
the baby grand anvils to the basement
and are showing a decided willing
ness to boost so long as the boys play
pood ball. The execrable brand dis
played during the second week at
home in the spring, wnen tne seais
took six straight, set ail the anvils
ringing and it has taken a lot of hard
work to get the machine going right
again.
The fine showing of the Beavers
during the past two weeks has been
due primarily to excellent pitching.
Mack has at least four reliable box
men. Sutherland, Poison, Kallio and
BtookB twirled good ball and won
their games by sheer superior box
work. Sutherland rung up two victor
ies during the series against the
Angels Tuesday 3-2 and Sunday 3-2
in 15 innings.
Harold Poison's feat of winning
from the Angels 1-0 in 13 innings on
Friday will long be remembered by
the fans.
While the Beavers are not getting
many runs per game the club has a
lot of punch near the top of the bat
ting list, and, given, another steady
pitcher, McCredie's outfit might still
give the league leaders a tough race
of it. Vernon is less than nine games
ahead of Portland.
a
The work of Dick Cox in right and
of Tex Wisterzll at third base has
been particularly meritorious. Cox
seems to possess the happy 'faculty of
being able to pull circus stuff in the
pinch when an especially brilliant
piece of work is required to stem the
enemy's attack. Wisterzil la another
atMete of the same quality. Without
question "Tex" is tha niftiest third
sack guardian Portland has called her
own in many years.
Carl Spranger seems to be playing
good ball at shortstop and improve
ment on the offense is sure to come
with added experience. Dave Ban
croft batted only .213 during his first
season with the Beavers in 1912, so
Carl Is not doing too badly for his
first campaign in the AA league.
"I think Portland will finish one-two-three"
remarked Manager Mc
Credie last night as he boarded the
train for Seattle. "We have been get
ting fine pitching the last few weeks
and if Dick Cox had been with us in
Salt Lake on the last disastrous road
trip I believe we would be on their
very heel3 this morning."
This week's schedule follows:
Portland at Seattle; Los Angeles at
San Francisco; Sacramento at Salt
Lake; Oakland at Vernon.

the : Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club to raise funds to send the Winged
"M" water polo team to the Pacific
Northwest Association championships
to De nein at Victoria, 11. c, on Aug
ust 14. The outing was originally
scheduled for one of the regular so
cial events on the Multnomah club's
calendar, but when it was learned
that the polo team would be unable
to make the trip north because of
the lack of necessary traveling ex
penses the entertainment committee
agreed to turn the proceeds over to
the team.
The regular entertainment commit

Riesch, chairmen. Taylor White, and
Floyd Lyr.ch, will be in charge of the

To Ted Anderson, twirler for the
Multnomah Guard team, goes the hon
or of having chucked the first no-hit,
no-run game of the Intercity league
this season. The record was hung
up at the expense of the Astoria Cen
tennials in the second fracas of i
double-header staged at Seaside Sun
day, the score being 1 to 0. The first
game was won by the Astorians after
a torrid battle by a score of seven
runs to three.
. The second game started off auspici
ously insofar as the Astoria tossers
were concerned, two walks and an
error by Fielder Noyer filling the
bags, but the down-river lads' Joy
was short-lived, for Anderson pulled
himself together and forced the next
three men out in one-two-three order
and from then on twirled masterful
ball.
Team Mates Rally in Support.
His team mates, rallying to the oc
casion, greatly aided him by playing
wonderful ball. Two fast double
plays were essayed successfully by
the Guards' infield and Kirkpatrick
playing his first game at short, went
back of second and snatched up a
sizzling grounder for the third and
last out, Just when It seemed almost
certain that the home-town lads
would win, for they had two on and
a dangerous man at bat. ranels per
formed behind the bat in this game.
it being his first appearance with the
Guard crew. He was given a great
hand for his all-around good playing.
Mattson held down first when Pape
was forced out of the game with an
injury. Captain Noyer was also
forced to retire on account of In
juries in this game.

. Great Game Scheduled.
The greatest "bush" game of the
year Is scheduled for Sunday to take
place on the Vaughn-street grounds
at 1 P. M. between the Honeyman
Hardware company's team and the
Sherwood Commercial club's repre
sentatives. The two clubs are tied for the lead
ership of the fast Intercity league,
consequently this contest might well
be considered the stellar card of the
season. Honeyman has dropped two
games to Sherwood on the latter's lot.
but in neither contest has Quessen
berry, the hardware lads' star chuck-
er, worked against the Onion City
sluggers, hence the announcement
that he will occupy the mound for the
locals boosts their stock to par.
Quessenberry has yet to be defeated
by an Intercity league team this year.
Sherwood Twirler Ha Slouch.
Sherwood, too, has a twirler of re
pute. He Is traveling under the nom
de plume of "Soldier" Myers and has
been hanging up a succession of wins
that has struck terror into the camps
of the other clubs in the loop. Last
Sunday he sent 16 Klrkpatrlcks back
to the bench via the strikeout route.

Local Junior Tennis Star Is
Northwest Champion.
PLAYING TOUR SCHEDULED
Misses Campbell and . Fording In
"Washington Tourney at
Seattle This Week.
I sad ore Westerman, northwest
Junior tennis champion, will leave
Portland " this morning for Forest
Hills. New Tork, where he will rep
resent this section of the country In
the national Junior championships
starting August 30.
Harry Westerman, his older brother,
ill accompany him on his trip and
the two will play exhibition doubles
at different cities en route. They
will stop two or three days In each
city, young Westerman meeting the
Junior champions at each, place
visited.
Among the stops that will be made
are Denver. Kansas City, St- Louis
and Chicago.
Neer's Ajct Is Factor.
Expense for this trip will be taken
care of by the Spokane tennis club.
under whose auspices the northwest
center championships were held at
Spokane last, month.
Westerman is the second Portland
youth to make this trip to the east,
last year Phil Neer winning the
honor.
Neer's age kept him out of the
tournament th's year, being too old
to play with the Juniors.
In the last ten years, records show
that six of the ten northwest cham
pions were Callfornians, all of them
residents of ISan Francisco.
In 1912 Melville Long began the
northern invasion by taking the title
from William Johnston, national
champion. Johnston won two tourna
ments that year, the Oregon state and
British Columbia events.
Following on the heels of Long
came Elia Fottrell In 1913 and H.
Van Dyke Johns in 1914.
The next year Joe Tyler of Spokane,
runner-up to the two Californians in
the two previous tournaments, came
through with a victory over S. L.
Russell of Seattle In the finals. This
was the first time In four attempts
at the championship that the Spokane
star cam out victorious.
J. C. Strachan of San Francisco,
came north in 1918 and took the
championship from Clyde Curley.
Late Champions Named.
Nineteen seventeen found the final
match a battle between Seattle and
Portland, with the northern city com
ing out on top. Brandt Wickersham
was the representative of the Rose
City, while Marshall Allen of Seattle
was his opponent.
H. C. Breck, San Francisco, won the
title In 191S and Phil Neer of Port
land took it last year. Neer failed
to come through In the tournament
this year, losing his match in the
scn.l-finals to Irving Wlenstein, who
In turn lost to Howard Kinsey of San
Francisco ins the finals.
This record of the Callfornians Is
one that will likely last for a Ion;
time to come. The Bear State asso
elation is now making extensive
plans to develop its younger players.
No doubt there will be many southern
entries in future northwest tourna
menta who will strive to bring the
title back to California, but there
will also be a big list of the home
folks on hand.
a
Miss Irene Campbell and Miss Stella
Fording went to Seattle upon the
conclusion of the northwest tennis
championships at Tacoma last week.
They will play In the Washington
state championships which are being
held on the courts of the Seattle
Tennis club this week.
.
The problem of ranking the tennis
players of the North Pacific Inter
national Lawn Tennis tsaociation will
be one of the most difficult In recent
years.
While Phil Neer of Portland shows
the most promise of being number
one. the task of picking the other nine
members will be one that will re
quire the pulse of a diplomat, the
brains of a doctor and the nerve of
a lawyer.

COWGIRLS, WILD HORSES HERE
Wild West Show Promises to Fur
nish a 'Thrill a Minute."
With the arrival yesterday of John
Spain, a dosen or more buckaroos and
cowgirls, and! a carload of wild horses
from Pendleton, the last performers
signed to participate In the Wild
West show and racing exhibitions at
the Rose City speedway, beginning
to morrow, are on hand.
Officials in charge of the big
"three-in-one" show, as it is being
oalled, declared that they would fur
nish the audience with "a thrill a
minute" and judging from the list
of events should have little trouble
In making good their vows.
Although not down as a part of
the regular programme, one of the
thrillers of the afternoon will be
Lester B. Butler's stunts on the wings
of an aeroplane high above the heads
of the audience, and his parachute
jump to earth. Butler will be con
veyed over the city in an aeroplane
each afternoon, and will perform
some hair-raising stunts In front of
the speedway crowd before making
his dive to mother earth.

INVERNESS. Toledo. Aug. 9. (Spe
cial.) Good scores are being turned
in in large lots during the preliminary
rounds of the American' open golf
tourney here. The higher 70s are al
most ordinary, so many golfers are
making them, and more than a few
went around the Inverness course to
day in less than 75. I have been
part of many tournaments, but I have
never sern one with such a large entry
fleldFrom all present indications and
from what I have learned of American
golf during the few weeks I have
been here, I consider it safe to say
there have been few, if any, cham
pionship tournaments in any country
with such a generally high-class body
of entrants.
The days of the tourney are set
and weather may not be served up to
please. Intense heat would bother
some of us. A gale of wind, or even
half a gale, would work to the disad
vantage of some of the best golfers
here, and to the consequent advan
tage of those who are so constructed
as to endure it well. I have seen Ted
Ray come through with a low score
in a gale of wind through which I
could scarcely keep my feet and could
play golf not at all. There are several
others here who are of this type in
this respect.
Next to ability, I should be Inclined
to cite the personal element as the
thing that will count moat predomi
nently In the next four days, particu
larly In the latter two days. There
are few who do not realise that some
participants of great abilities in all
games are so constituted as to never
be at their individual best when some
thing is at stake. And so is It with
golf, as I have often observed.
Walter Ha. gen is one player I know
who is the possessor of tempered
nerves. Conditions seem to matter In
no way to him. When the going is
