- SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 10. (Spe
cial.) Walt McCredie. the Nemesis
of the Rainiers, hocus pocused the
Waresmen into submission again to
day, Portland copping the first of a
very Important series, 5 to 3. The
Beavers have whipped the local club
oftener than any other team in the
league, and they acted yesterday as
though they knew they could do it
any time they started. They ran the
bases, hit the ball, and otherwise out
played the Seattle gang. Maybe it is
the psychological effect, but the
Hainlers have been beating the "Ver
nons and the Salt Lakes and other
touted clubs as fast as they show
their faces, but every time Walt and
his hustlers walk out on the field the
locals take their daily beating.
Poison Has Them Guessing.
Outside of Waifs Indian sign, it
was the pitching of Poison that gave
the Mackmen the first tussle. It is
a matter of record that this young
man was invincible in each and every
inning until he had retired two men,
and then when it was too late the
local hitters began to snipe off their
blows. Not, a man reached first
any of the nine rounds until two
were away.
Socks Seibold was not so effective.
The visitors were crowding: him all
through. Socks finally retiring in the
eighth with the winning runs on the
paths, Geary being unable to halt
the attack.
The Seattle men were really In the
ball game for about one inning the
sixth. Portland was leading 3 to 0
Up to this frame. After Poison had
retired the first two, as usual. Mid
dleton singled and Bohne walked.
Eldred slapped a hit to center, bring
ing Roxy across. Brick stole, and
Kenworthy responded with a whistler
down the third base line for two
sacks, the tieing . runs scoring. But
from here on Poison had the upper
hand.

2 64 Expert Tee Oft ' in First

Former World's Open Golf Champion.

lished by Arrangement.)
INVERNESS CLUB, Toledo, O.. Aug.
10. (Special.) Today youthful Bob
bie Jones and I went over the course
together In the first Qualifying rounds
of the American open golf tourna
ment. We both finished with 7 5s,
which were neither too good nor too
bad. and I think I am safe in uaving
that both of us are pleased.
This young man, 20 years old. I
believe-he is, has a lovely style. He
is thoroughly natural, as. it must be.
since he began the play of golf when
he was quite young. He is one of
the stylists of the game. There can
be no comparison between the styles
of the late 19th century, as repre
sented by me today, and of the pres
ent time as represented by Bobble
Jones.
Great Recovery Made.
Jones hooked his tee shot into the
rough on the fourth hole, passing eas
ily 200 yards beyond the green with
it. With a spoon he made as brilliant
a recovery as one could imagine, to a
lie within a few feet of the green,
on the right. . Then he approached
beautifully and was down on his
first putt for a par 4, while I, having
round a trap, needed a 5 and was glad
to get it.
The first four holes gave me such
deal of difficulty that I was be
ginning to believe that the whole
course was one big trap. Because
of them it took 40 strokes for my
first nine holes and Bobbie Jones
wa3 half way . with 34. Coming in
he needed 41 and 1 did it in 35.
Ted Ray was one of several excel
lent players chosen to lead the field
who got away to a poor start. Ray-
turned in an so. l have been unable
to learn just what his trouble was.
I assume he found the bunkers at
times and I have heard that he had
one of his unhappy putting days.
Walter Hagen and Jim Barnes had
78 and 79. Harry Hampton and Jack
Hutchison appear to be playing un
falteringly and I guess both are more
to be watched than ever. Douglas
Edgar is at his best.

End of First Day.
TOLEDO. O.. Aug. 10. Leo Diegel,
Chicago, with par 71, a record for the
course, today led 2o4 starters in the
first Qualification for the national
open' golf championship at Inverness
club. With more than 64 players
scoring under 80 contestants pre
dieted 159 would be required for 36
holes to qualify for the 72-hole test
on Thursday and Friday.
Diegel, who was runner-up to James
Barnes in the western open cham
pionship last year, was closely pressed
by Jock Hutchinson of Chicago. Harry
Hampton of Richmond and Rudolph
Knepper of Sioux City, an amateur,
scored 72, J. Douglas idgar or Ai
lanta. 73; eight other contestants 74
and 12 more, including Harry Var
don, British expert, and Bobby Jones,
southern champion, 75.
Edward Ray, the other British con
tender, took SO strokes, Willie Mac
Farland of New York scored a 34 on
the second nine, two under par and a
record.
Walter Hagen of Detroit. title
holder, got in trouble on the first
nine and required 40 strokes. He
improved somewhat on the longer
second half and finished with 78. M
J. Brady, of TJetroit, who lost the play
off last year to Hagen, took 79 today.

The telegram follows:
"You are hereby notified .that I

This action is based on confidential
reports that I have received from

the first half of the qualifying round,
but out of the 268 entrants interest
centered in a few of the better known
players.
Seven amateurs finished under SO,

Harrison Johnston of Toledo, W. C.
Fowners, Jr., of Pittsburg, former

and Howard Lee of Detroit 79.
Vardon, who had won the British
championship before Bobby Jones was
born, had to trail the youth in the
first half of their round; followed by
large gallery, Jones Bet a terrific
pace, scoring two pars, a birdie 2, and
then six more pars, -while Vardon
could do no better than 40.
The luck changed on the next nine.
The Briton with a birdie three on the
11th, a two on the 13th and three on
tho 18th got home In 35,- one under
par. Jones expended 41 strokes, so
that the scores were even at the fin
lah despite 33 years' difference in ex
perience. Diegel was even with par on both
halves but brilliant work on certain I
holes made his par score possible, as
he went one over par on the fourth,
fifth and eighth holes, going, out, and
also- on the 15th and 17th coming In.

VAXGOTTVER '. TO HAVE RACES
Ted Thye, former middleweight wres
tling champion, who will be put in
charge of the grapplers.
When it was learned that O'Connell
would not return to the club this
fall. Professor O. C. Mauthe. director
of physical education at the club,
looked the field over and decided that
the club could do just as well, and
perhaps better, by hiring two local
men than it could by bringing in
outsiders. The matter has been
taken up .with the two men and they
have expressed themselves as will
ing to take over the work.
Louttit has been connected with
Winged M athletics for several years
and has gained considerable fame as
an amateur lightheavy boxer.
Thye. whose home was originally
in Spokane, has been wrestling on
the coast for several years. He won
the middleweight title from Walter
Miller in a match here last winter.

pay Maggert $500, Bill Rumler $250
and Gene Dale $500. Subsequently
Borton learned that another player on
the Vernon club, whose name he re
fused to divulge, was also approach
ing players, and he had agreed to
pay Eddie Mulligan of Salt Lake $350.
Catcher Del Baker of Portland $10d.
Pitcher Oldham, then of Portland,
$100, and Catcher Koehler of Port
land, either $50 or $100. Elmer Rel
ger, then with Seattle, was to receive
$100.
"The money -vas paid by currency
and draft to the players on the otlftr
clubs, some by Borton, some by the
unnamed other player on the Vernon
club.
" "Maggert was the only one who did
not receive his money promptly. The
reason for this was that Brooks oi
the Vernon club told Borton that
Maggert would not want his wife to
know that he had received such an
amount. Borton held the money in
bank, paid him $200 on account when
Salt Lake visited Vernon on its first
trip and the remaining $300 on July
27, 1920, and this is the sum Maggert
claims to have won in a crao game."
"Mass of Lies." Says McCarthy.
Answering the revelations attrib
uted to Borton, McCarthy says that
he arrived at the conclusion that they
were "a mass of falsehoods, after
several days of painstaking investi
gation, the interrogation of many
witnesses and incessant inquiry and
study." , .
"Concealed beneath the mass of lies
there may be some truth," McCarthy
said; "If there be, let me say that
there will be further investigation to
develop it. Because of the doubt and
suspicion that has been thrown upon
tho game, because of the men who
have been unjustly accused, and be
cause of my desire to conceal nothing
from the public, I deem it my duty to
first publish Borton's charges and
at the same time the conclusions that
resulted from my investigation. .
Borton Makes Denial.
"Borton denies that he ever offered
$300 to Pitcher Stroud to 'throw- a
game and urges that it is Stroud's
word against his. Before the Borton
charges were even hinted Pitcher Dell
of Vernon informed Mr. Maier, the
owner, and Mr. fc,ssick, the manager
and subsequently informed me, that
Borton told him that he (Borton) in
tended to make the offer to Stroud.
Afterwards ho told Dell not to take it
seriously, as he was only fooling.
oorton states that he was ap
proached by Manager Essick while
en route to Salt Lake last year.
Player Eddinton of Vernon will
swear that Borton approached him
and stated that he was going to try to
get some of the Salt Lake players to
lay down."
Vernon Books Shown.
"Borton said that all of the money
from the Vernon-St. Paul series and
that collected by the citizens of Los
Angeles was distributed by him in
currency, which he received either
from Essick or Howard Lorenz, the
v ernon club secretary. When con
fronted by Mr. Lorenz and shown the
books and the canceled checks, his
own included, he admitted his error
and changed his statement to corre
spond. Sunday I audited the books of
the Vernon-St. Paul series and can
vouch for their correctness.
tsorton cnarged that the money
was given him by Manager Essick and
that after deducting the 'slush fund'
the amount paid to each player on the
Vernon club was $61.80. I sent for
Essick and without warning and in
Borton's presence asked the amount
paid each Vernon player and Essick
mmeaiateiy replied either 5150 or
$152. This statement corresponds
with the bank balance and collections
as shown In Mr. Essick's books. Es
sick gave the lie direct to Borton
who made no answer.
Essick Is Corroborated.
"I then interviewed both separately
and collectively every member of the
Vernon ball club, 14 in all, who par
ticlpated In the closing series of last
year. Their statements corresponded
exactly and their replies corroborated
the statements by Manager Essick.
"Every player mentioned In Bor
ton's charges has been questioned and
examined. I have not heard from all
but from all those I have been able to
reach invariably the denial has been
prompt and emphatic.
For these reasons I can come to
no other conclusion than the obviou
one that Borton invented his story
out oi whole cloth. The players men
tioned in his confession are complete
ly exonerated and unless further in
vestigation should prove to the con
trary. I commend them one and all
for the fact that they have stood th
test and measured up to the stand
ard."
FLAG" RACE SCAXDAIj HINTED
Present Coast Expose Held Linked
to Stirring Events of 1919.
That the present expose of the
attempts to "fix" certain Pacific Coast
league ball players Is remotely linked
with certain stirring events of the
1919 pennant race between Los An
geles and Vernon is the -' opinion
vouchsafed, by Wade Killefer, man
ager ' of the Angels... whose team
played in Portlajiq last week.
My crub -was leaaing in the pen
nant race last fall -until the very last
day," said Manager Killefer. "It
looked like a cinctl we would win
until the Vernon team went to Salt
Lake for a series near the close of
the year. There seemed to be some
mysterious influenbs at work to beat
us out of the pennant. To add to the
suspicion, Ralph Stroud suddenly quit
the Salt Lake club without any ap
parent reason.
His absence and the - Indifferent
playing of the entire Salt Lake: team
gave Vernon a walkaway In the
series, put them, in the race and en
abled the Tigers ' to win the flag.
Ever-since then we have been 'riding'
Stroud. My men have- been 'on' him
continually when the Angels and
Bees have met this year. It has sort
f gotten under Stroud s skin and I
think it was a desire on "hia part to
vindicate himself having been 'fixed'
that prompted him to make the ex
pose of the alleged Borton offer of
300 to throw a game."
So far as Hal Chase is concerned.
nobody who -knows "Spider" Baum,
his accuser, doubts Tor a moment that
Chase tried to bribe Baum into
throwing" ball games. - Only a few
months ago Chase was released by
New York under a cloud. At the
same time Lee Magee also was turned
adrift by the Chicago Cubs. Magee
later sued the Cubs for back salary
and lost. During- the sensational trial
Magee on the witness stand accused
Chase of having bet on ball games.
Since his release by New York
Chase has been playing first base for
San Jose of the Mission league.
His Coast league accuser, Charley
Baum, is a brother of Allan T. Baum,
former president of the Pacific Coast
league. Charley is perhaps the oldest
player in point of service In the cir
cuit and is respected and admired by
fans everywhere. "Spider" is mar
ried to a Portland girl, formerly Miss
Birdie Travers.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 10. (Spe
cial.) Out-of-town players -were the
individual stars of the second day's
play at the annual state tennis tour
nament at the Seattle Tennis club.
Welnstein and Kinsey. the California
cracks, Phil Neer from . Portland,
and Wallace Scott, Tacoma favorite,
were the visitors who came through
with flying colors.
Weinstein defeated Don Waller, the
University of Washington player,
with ease, winning 6-0, 61. Waller
was wild against the clever southern
player. Weinstein played a back
court game and held the upper hand
throughout. Neer defeated Emory
Jackson, 6-1, 6-0; Kinsey won from
H. C. Coffin. 6-1, 6-1. Scott took Le
roy Foley down the line in business
like fashion, winning 6-3, 6-2.
The match between Elmer Griffin
and Phil Neer, scheduled for tomor
row, is one of the most important of
the tourney. Both players are con
tenders and close followers of tennis
predict that the winner will have no
trouble in reaching the finals.
Speidel and Griffin, Russell and
Tyler, and Weinstein and Kinsey are
the doubles teams placed in the up
per hair or the drawing. . Each of the
above teams should 'cause the winners
in the men's doubles a lot of trouble.
Miss Campbell and Miss Fording
Portland's leading . women players,
also came through In fine shape. Miss
rording winning from Miss Ferris,
6-3. 6-0, and Miss Fording defeat
ing Mrs. Eberting. formerly Miss
Annis Greene, 6-2, 8-6, 6-1.
The match between Miss Fording
and .Mrs. Eberting was one of the
best of the day. Miss Fording win
ning after a hard match. Mrs. Ebert
ing gave her opponent plenty of
trouble taking the second set; 8-6
but losing the third when the pace
proved too fast for her.

Many of the heats proved to be
farces, the riders being almost mo.
tionlesa- as they jockayed for posi
tions, with the leader looking baclc
to watch his opponents as they pre
pared to sprint. Several protests were
made during the heats, but the judges
did not allow them.
In the final, Johnson of England,
who finished second, protested Peet
ers, the winner, for riding him up tho
bank.
The foreign riders agree that the
track is impossible. The flat riding
space is about five f-t wide, whil
the banking used for uotorcycles is
from 40 to 70 degrees.

BUSH "RINGERS" T
PORTLAND ASSOCIATION BARS
MONEYED INVADERS.
S. SPEED BOAT 'IS MILES
AHEAD AT FINISH.
Clubs Affiliated With Local Loops
Must Finish .Season With.
Players Now Listed.
All managers of teams affiliated
with the Portland Baseball associa
tion must close their player lists Mon
day,' August 23, and must finish the
balance of the season with players
who are eligible as of that date. This
action was taken at a meeting of the
association held Monday night and is
another method taken, to forestall
the old "ringer" bug-a-bear which
the organization promrsed players
and managers would be done early in
the season. With the breaking up of
the moneyed bush clubs in the north
and one or two other local clubs a
host of diamond stars have appeared
on 'the local horizon all anxious to
burst into the local limelight. Mana
gers of local league clubs argue that
if the players they have had all sea
son were good enough to play during
the summer they are good enough
to finish the season.
The local season Is right now at the
point where some of the most criti
cal games are at hand in each league.
Sunday three such games are to be
staged. At Vaughn street the lead
ersmp of the "A" City league will be
decided when the Olds, " Wortman &
King and Oswego clubs tangle and
the leaders of the Intercity circuit
Honeyman Hardware and Sherwood,
who are tied for first place, will also
endeavor to settle their differences.
In the Double A loop Crown-Willamette
and Kendall Station will tangle
at Oregon City. The former is out
in front but will have to bestir them
selves to keep the Arleta and Hesse-
Martin nines off their heels. For this
reason they must defeat the Kendall
Station team and this is no small task,
for this team is one of the hardest
hitting semi-pro aggregations playing
on the local lots.
