Oakland defeated - Portland In the
opening game of the series on the lo
cal lot yesterday by a score of 4 to
3. 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. Score:

Small Crowd Wakes to Life When
Pipp's Homer Brings Defeat
to Cleveland.
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.

stunt of coming to the front with his
batting average, and fattening it up every

showed the old Roman up with the lead

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

that the American golfers had been dis

statement proved without foundation of
fact. Now comes W. T. Tilden. and all

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

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.

The thing that most Impresses the i-

mess In which the Pacific Coast league is
Involved is the utterly picayune amount
of money -involved in the alleged buying
off of the players. The fellotr ho is
said to have sold his birthright for a
mess of pottage -was m prince of finance
compared to the measly amounts for which
coast players are said to have sold their
reputations, their honor, and everything
else worth while. Cigarette money would
buy a game, and the price of a cigar
was sufficient inducement to throw a
series. A box of chocolates, and lo. there
was no depth of Infamy to which the
