The contest was listless and filled with errors, on the part of the out fielders of both teams. Five boots were chalked up against the teams, three for the Beavers and two fop the Oaks and in each in stance it was one of the fly chasers who was responsible for the miscues. Rudy Kallio and Carl Holling were the opposing twirlers and both were hit freely. Oakland collected 10 swats off of the Portland right hander while Holling was touched up for 7. Both Score In Firat. The Oaks started the scoring In the first frame when a double by Bru baker, followed by a single by Cooper gave the visitors their first run. Portland came back in its half of the first putting over two runs. Siglin beat out a hit to Knight. Wlsterzil singled through short, Siglin going to third on the hit. Maisel laid one down to Shortstop Brubaker, who threw to first getting Maisel, but in the meantime Siglin had crossed the plate with the Beavers' first run. Schaller drew a walk and then the first of a series of outfield errors were started when Cooper dropped Cox's fly to center filling the bases. Holling walked Koehler, forcing in Wisterzil with the second tally. Spranger hit into a double play kill ing the Beaver's chances of piling up a safe lead. Oakland made two more runs in the second, inning, both markers be ing the result of a couple of errors by Dick Cox in right field. Mitze singled and was followed by Holling who also rapped out one between first and second that should have gone down for only a one-base wallop, but Cox let the ball get away from him and Mitze went to third, and Holling drew up on second. Then to help the good cause along Dick's peg to the plate was over Catcher Xoehler's head and both men scored. Score Tied In Third. Portland tied the score in the third. Maisel hit to Miller in leftfield, who let the ball get away, giving the Portland field captain a chance to rest on second. Maisel took third on fichaller's out and scored on another cut by Cox. Oakland broke the tie and won the game In the eighth when Biff Schaller was made an active member of the "outfielder's muff'em and boot'em club." Miller beat out a hit to Spran ger and stole second. Knight popped cut to Wisterzil, and Lane skied to Maisel. Miller crossed the plate with the winning run when Schaller drop pec! Guisto's fly. One pretty piece of fielding was rulled off by George Maisel in the Mith when he stabbed a great run ning catch of a line drive off of Lane's bat. Blue on Sick List, Lew Blue was absent from the Beaver lineup yesterday, Sam Ross holding down the initial sack in his place. Umpire Pearl Casey, was compelled to work the shift alone as his partner, Eason, failed to reach the city in time for the game.

NEW TORK, Aug. 18 The gloom cast over baseball by the death of Ray Chapman, ehorstop of the Cleveland team, was apparent today when the Indians and Yankees resumed their battle for leadership of the American league. Chapman's death was more deeply impressed upon the spectators by the flag-at the Polo Grounds, fly ing at half-mast, and the bands of mourning-worn on the left sleeves of the players. The fans paid tribute to Chapman's memory by applauding Lunte, his successor, when he came to bat. Carl Mays, the Tankee pitcher whose throw caused the fatal Injury to Chapman, was not in uniform and it was said he was not at the grounds. Although the game was cleanly contested, there was not the same en thusiasm manifest at contests be tween the clubs heretofore. The play ers seemed to lack the dash and spirit that might be expected from clubs fighting for the leadership. The at tendance was about 15,000, the small est at a New York-Cleveland contest since the race became close. Termination of the game Pipp's home run that brought victory to the Yankees awoke the fans and the feat was accorded the usual demon stration.

An Interesting phase In the announce ment that the American Olympic com mittee had withdrawn the names of Ted Schneider and John R. Grant from the American entries in the boxing events because their titles as amateurs were not clear Is the fact that they had to be transported overseas before the action was taken. The fact was well known to scores of persons in this country before the two men left the country everybody, it would seem, except the American Olympic com mittee. The Pacific Sports Service was the first to call attention to the fact that Schneider and Grant were not likely to pass muster as "illy whites.' There seems always to be some one lying in wait to slip over something nasty by way of engendering bitter feeling. first off, some one sent a report from Deal that the American golfers had been dis courteously treated by the British. The statement proved without foundation of fact. Now comes W. T. Tilden. and all the other American tennis players, who played in the English championships at Wimbledon, declaring as an "unmitigated lie" the story sent out that he had been hissed by the spectators. "I simply lack words to express all I feel of esteem and gratitude toward the British sporting pub lic, Is the way Tilden puts it.

TIGER ATTORNEY IS Criminal Libel Suit Depends on Evidence Found. YANKEES WIN ON HOMER PIPP BREAKS CLEVELAND TIE AT LAST MOMENT. MATS 'ALIBI' RlllX GS CENSURE Umpires Brand Remark on Ball as oXt Diplomatic. BOSTON, Aug. 18. The explanation by Carl Mays of the New York Amer icans, that the killing of Ray Chap man, star shortstop of Cleveland, was due to a rough spot on the ball Mays pitched which caused it to take an unexpected twist, was the subject of a statement today by Umpires Will iam Evans and William Dineen of the American league. o pitcher in the American league resorted to trickery more than Carl Mays in attempting to roughen a ball n order to get a break on it which would make it more difficult to hit," the statement said. ' Until the new pitching rules came into force, which put a severe penalty on a pitcher roughing the ball. Mays constantly used to drag the ball across the pitching rubber in order to roughen the surface. Hundreds of balls were thrown out every year because of this act. The umpires took notice of a re mark attributed to Mays that Umpire Thomas Connolly, who was behind the plate, was responsible for the ac cident because he permitted a rough ball to stay in the game. The um pires characterized this alleged state ment as an "alibi" that came with poor grace. "A short time ago," they added, "the clubowners complained to Presi dent Johnson that too many balls were being thrown out. President Johnson sent out a bulletin telling the umpires to keep the balls in the games as much as possible, except those which were dangerous." The players of the Boston and De troit clubs who were at the point yes terday of siernintr a oetition tr have Mays banned from the game today awaited word from Manager Speaker of the Cleveland club as to his views on their proposed action. Several as serted that regardless of any general action they would not go to bat against Mays again. Red Sox Nose Out Tigers; Browns Swamp Grlffmen and Athletics Win One-Run Game. NEW YORK, Aug. 18.
