Where the Teams Flay This Week. Oakland at Portland: Vernon at Beat- tie, Sacramento at Los Angeles, Salt Lake at San Francisco. After handing? the Angels an un mercful ldclng In the series before last here on the home grounds, the Beavers "winning six oaut of eight games played against the club, Walter McCredie's cohorts turned around and had to submit to a little of their own medicine in Seattle last week. The Siwashes are on the warpath for fair and whoever inoculated them with "fire water" certainly gave them strong shot. Portland lost five out of seven games laBL week and as the result find themselves not only back In their home town but back In familiar second division ground in the per centage column. There is one con' Eolation, however, and that is it is not such a great step back to four hole and even third, but it will have to be admitted that the teams now occupy ing those positions, even if only by a point or so, have the edge. Acorns Hit Good Pace. The Beavers are home again for a two-week stretch on the Vaughn street grounds and are billed to open against the spreading Oaks. Owing to the long jump the Oakland team has to make from Los Angeles to Portland the Beaver-Oaks series will not get under way until tomor row afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Vaughn-street grounds. After rambling along at a disgrace ful gait for half a season Del How ard's crew seem to have taken a new lease on life. Two weeks ago they won the odd game from Salt Lake and last week took the odd' one from Vernon. In trimming the two leaders in a row Oakland draws upon itself some consideration. Captain George Malsel was the only Beaver regular that managed to fatten his batting average against the Rainier pitcher, although the rest of the Portland wrecking crew did not hit any declared slumps, de spite the fact that they did not win any superfluous amount of ball games. Maisel took the big leap from .133 to .334. One point is better than none or a reversal. Kainler Willow Work Wins, The Seattle team Just landed on the Beaver twirlers for plenty of hits. barring the first game, and hit when .bingles meant runs. On the other hand, Portland did not land on the old apple like they have been wont to and didn't get the breaks. Here Is the long-drawn-out per' centage figures of the Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland clubs, who are bunched like a head of cabbage Won. Lost. Percent. Los Angeles 66 64 .492537 Seattle 65 67 .492424 Portland 63 65 .492167 From the above figures it can be gathered that Portland is not many breaths behind the first division and a winning streak this week will tend to put them in the money once again. taking it for granted, of course, that Seattle and Los Angeles do not take a corresponding rise. Walter McCredie attributes the fact that Portland lost two of last week's games to the fact that Lew Blue was an Injury received here several weeks ago which bothered him" anew. Art Koehler, who has been doing the brunt of the Beaver backstopplng of late, is also on the "blink," accord ing to McCredie, and was unable to do his best work last week. The Portland pitchers held up fairly wen until tne last two games when their offerings were landed on for a row of tallies. The Beaver manager is looking for a tough battle this week against the Oaks, but thinks that his squad will be in good enough shape to take the southerners Into camp. VETERAN ITCXTERS BAG IilMIT Pendleton Sportsmen, Have 3 4th Annual Hunt Together. PENDLETON, Or.. Aug. 16. (Spe clal.) Ever since the fall of 18S6 in Bouth Dakota, J. J. Hamley and George W.

BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRA clal.) T intr- wi' AN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16. (Spe- Wrestling rather than box- inr will take the lead In San Francisco this coming week. That is to say, while attendance at the fight clubs is not likely to fall off, the wrestlers, because of the importance of the match will have the right of way. After much talk and no little action. Ad Santel and Jimmy Londos Greek champion, have been signed for ' a match billed as the light heavyweight championship of the world. Both men have large followlngs here. Sant of. in spite of his own ex posures, has always been considered one of the top-notch wrestlers and almost unbeatable at 'his weight. Londos is the pride of the Greek colony and he will not be lacking in support tonight when the two clash. $TOOO to Be Divided. The importance of the match can be best judged from the fact that Schuler is guaranteeing the two mat men $7000. which will be divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. , It has also been agreed that the weight will be 1S2 pounds, half an hour before the bout starts. This is a concession to Londos, who is in clined to weight, although the light heavyweight title is generally fixed at 175 pounds. Originally, it was the Intention of Schuler to have a finish match, run ning into the early hours of the morning If that became necessary, to name a winner. But there were strenuous objections to wrestling after the midnight hour and it was agreed to stop at 12 o'clock. The referee, whoever he is, will decide the winner in the event that neither has, by that hour, secured two falls. Though San Francisco sporting fans no longer make idols out of the wrestlers they are Inclined to enjoy the sport. This bout will be staged at the Civic auditorium and there is plenty of room for the crowd. Bod Ridley Working Overtime. Bud Ridley is working .overtime these days. . Fred Winsor, not con tented with having his little scrapper work once a week, signed him up the present week for two bouts. He took on a match in Oakland Wednesday evening and was also billed for a Friday night performance at Dream land rink. . v Winsor has -tried this double stuff with Ridley before and I doubt very much whether It Is a wise move. The boy has before this given indication of going stale after too many fights and the same thing is apt to happen. His return match with Lieutenant Earl Baird last week was a corker, though, It was generally agreed that t was a better draw than their pre vious engagement. It was Baird who was coming the stronger at the close. The boys made weight and the con ditions did not seem to help either one. They looked drawn. Ridley, though he poses as a bantamweight, CALIFORNIA PACER ENTERED IN OPENING MEET OF NORTH PACIFIC CIRCUIT IN VANCOUVER THIS WEEK. - 1 - r I., tl. !., OWNED BY J. E.

Last week I was raving about the prospects of a four-round bout be tween Marty Farrell and Battling Ortega of Oakland. Now it must be confessed that fight is off, canceled because Farrell renlgged on his agreement as to poundage. Farrell, represented y Frank. Lawlor, had agreed to do 158 pounds at 7:30 o'clock on the night of the fight. Lawlor was to have posted a $500 forfeit but left on his vacation en tirely overlooking that little essential. A few days later, Farrell appeared at the Chronicle office to announce that he had never consented to make weight at 7:30 o'clock on the evening of the fight, but that he was willing to do 158 at 5 o'clock In the afternoon and in addition, would step on the scales at fight hour to prove his ex act weight. Simpson said there was nothing doing and the American Legion pro moters were forced to call off tho bout, though it would have been a strong number for them. Now that the squabble has ended Ihusly, each side is remarking that the other was afraid and took this means of canceling the engagement. I All the honors, however, rest with Ortega. He lived up to his agree ment and Farrell, for some reason best known to himself, did no such thing. Coliseum Promoters Have Enough. The Coliseum promoter, so goes the rumor, would like to call it quits. The men who took over the venture originally started by Louis Parente In the Baker street arena, are re penting of their bargain and would let go if they could do so without further injury to themselves. The trouble Is they have signed for a year's lease on the premises at $730 a month and while that is not a big sum, at the same time they are try ing to figure out whether it would be cheaper to run losing shows or forfeit their lease. For the past month or six weeks Is no telling when they will resume if ever. PHIL XEER BACK FROM TOUR State Tennis Champion Plays at Four Tournaments. Phil Neer.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16. Will iam G. Rumler, Salt Lake outfielder, waay Indefinitely suspended today by President William H. McCarthy ot the Pacific Coast Baseball league. McCarthy's action was taken fol lowing receipt ft an affidavit from Kuraler that he and "Babe" Borton suspended Vernon first baseman, bet 3250 on the outcome of the pennant race last season, Rumler betting on Vernon and Borton on Salt Lake. It was supported by another affidavit from C. A. Byler. Salt Lake catcher, that he had knowledge of such a wager. If players are permitted to Indulge In such practices it must be apparent that they can only lead to eerious consequences," McCarthy announced. According to the Rumler affidavit, the bet with Borton was made July 19, 1919, which he remembered as be ing the date of the Deraps--Willard fight. At the close of the season. Bum. ler's statement said, he wrote to Bor ton reminding him of the J250. where- u-pon Borton forwarded 250. McCarthy's statement was as fol lows: Gambling Admission Made. "I have today notifl.ed H. W. Lane that Player William G. Rumler is in definitely suspended. "His answer to the Borton charges Is at least an admission that he gam bled on games last season and bet on the Vernon club to win the pennant. 'If players are permitted to indulge I In such practices it must be apparent that they can only lead to serious con sequences. Whether the Rumler explanation be true or false, he has. In my opinion een guilty of an indiscretion-which merits the most severe punishment. For the sake of the game, and for the sake of those who love and have confidence in the game, every player must be above suspicion, and Rumler certainly has laid himself open to suspicions of a most serious charac ter." Byler's affidavit was as follows: "I have a distinct recollection that urlng the fall of 1919, while In con versation with W. G.- Rumler and others, the said Rumler referred to an understanding or agreement he stated had with player Borton of the Vernon club to the effect that if the Vernon club won the pennant he was to be given by Borton the sum of 250, while if the Salt Lake club won r had agreed to give Borton an equal sum. I do not recall who was present at this conversation besides Rumler and myself, but am sure there were thers there and that the conversa tion came up in the course of some discussion over the pennant race." Reward Offered for Evidence. It was also announced by Mr. Mc Carthy that "to any person or persons wno win produce evidence conclusive o the minds of five impartial judges of the truth of the, Borton chareres the Pacific Coast Baseball league will pay tne sum or $buuo." In a statement signed by McCarthy. which Includes the offer of $5000 for evidence substantiating the Borton charges, five San Francisco news paper men are designated as the udges. They are Charles A. Stanton. ban Francisco Examiner: Karl Ander son, Chronicle; John Francia Neylan. Call-Post; B. B. Page, Bulletin, and hiugene Mcclain, Daily New.. Whatever evidence is produced corroborative" of Borton's so-called slush fund' will be placed before them and I will abide by their judg ment as to the weight and sufficiency ot it, tne statement concludes. The telegram sent to Maier of the Vernon cluo by McCarthy follows: 'In justice to yourself, to your club nd to the Pacific Coast baseball league. I believe and must insist that Manager William Essick and those memoers ot your CiUD mentioned in the Borton charges immediately prose - cute Jtsorton lor criminal libel. The matter should be laid-before District Attorney Woolwine and the whole issue ican be determine!

TIGERS MAKE STROXG DEXIAL Borton Said to Be Trying to Black en Rest of League. . LOS -ANGELES. Aug. 16. A relt eration by William Essick, manager of ihe Vernon club of the Pacific Coast Baseball league, of what he stated President William H. Mc Carthy of the league "has said" that the charges oi w. .Baiter ("Uaoe ) Borton. former Vernon first baseman. are a mass of lies was published here today. "As long as people listen to his lies, he will tell them, continued Essick in replying to Borton s allegations that every member of last year's Vernon club contributed to a pool to help Vernon win the pennant. "He is lost to baseball and now he is trying to drag the game, and particularly the Vernon club, down with him. He has never denied mak ing a proposition to Dell to throw games. He has never .explained hav lng a $500 and $100 bill and a di mond in his possession in Seattle on the last trip. He told some he bought the diamond and some that a friend gave it to him. "If his charges were true, about us paying Salt Lake players to aid us in winning .the 1919 pennant by throwing games in the last two series we had with them, why didn't the Salt Lake club do it? - "We had won 96 and lost 64 games apiece and each had a percentage of .600. At the close oi tne two series with Salt Lako we had a percentage of .603 and Los Angeles bad .618, standing two and one-half games ahead of us. "In other words. Salt Lake prac tically put us out of the race, for It looked like a 100-to-l shot that we could not take " five out of seven games from the league-leading An gels in the last series of the year. If there were any games thrown, it was the individual contests, bought by sramblers, for it is certain the team did not try to shove us into the pen nant. as the cold facts of the per centage column will prove. GAMBLING CHARGE "My players are a square, hustling lot, and I know that they are inno cent of all charges." Bob Fisher. Byron Houck. Ches ter Chadbourne. " "Scotty" Alcock. Wheezer" Dell. Al DeVormer. Art Fromme. Johnny Mitchell, Tommy Lang. Hughle High. Willie Mitchell and "Stubby" Edineton also made formal denial of Borton's accusations. The Vernon team left Los Angeles tonight for Seattle. Rumler Ignorant of Suspension. SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. Aug. 16. William G.

Local Card September 1- The first local card will be staged at Milwaukie Wednesday night, Sep tember 1. and will be followed up by one every other week at the car barn arena supervised by Manager George Moore and Matchmaker Frank Ken dall, aided and abetted by the Milwau kie boxing commission. The initial show at Milwaukie prob ably will feature a double main event, a pair of welterweights and a pair of lightweights. There is a possibility of Alex Tram. bitas, the fast coming young Port land welterweight, and Frankle Mur phy, the Denver slugger, meeting in the top bout. Matchmaker Frank Kendall Is endeavoring to get In touch with Jack Fahie, who developed and looks after the business affairs ' of young Trambitas. At present Fahia is at his summer home at the foot ot Mount Hood. Spencer Anxious to Appear. Fighting Bob Spencer, a Canadian boxer who claims the welterweight and ligitweight championships of Ire land, and Charley McCarthy, claimant of the Canadian lightweight title, are both anxious to appear here and are in communication with Kendall re garding matches on September 1. A ten-round headliner between Johnny Noye. the St. Paul- lightweight, and 'Muff Bronson also has been men tioned. Willie St. Clair, the colored light weight, is after another chance and Is clamoring for a match with Eddie Shannon, "Muff" Bronson, Charley McCarthy, or anyone else. The Friday night card at Vancouver barracks Is as foliows: Billy Mascott vs. "Babe" Herman, bantamweights, ten rounds; Harold Jones vs. Freddie Anderson, eight rounds; Harry Casey Willie St. Clair, eight rounds; Frankle Crltes vs. Carl Martin, six rounds. If the main tangle between Mascott and Herman, the highly-touted young Sacramento bantamweight, is a sen sational scrap the Milwaukie officials may put the winner on with the best available boy on the coast, the winner of that match to meet Pete Herman, the champion. Jack Douglas, clever San Francisco bantam, who is back in his home town after three years of battling in the east, during which time he fought Herman two draws and met such well- known fighters as Pal Moore, Earl Puryear, Benny McNlel. Benny Cha vez, Nate Jackson, Eddie Coulon and others, has challenged the winner of the Mascott-"Babe" Herman fight. Douglas fought Champion Herman a ten-round draw In 1917, right after the latter won the title, and in 1918 fought him another draw. Joe Gorman and Ted Hoke, two well-known Portland boxers, have taken the big leap within the last few weeks. Gorman was married at Grants Pass, while Hoke s gned up for life here several days ijj.
