A double-header will be played this afternoon and tomorrow, weather permitting, on the Vaughn street grounds. After dropping two games in a row the Beavers came to life Thursday and socked their way to victory over the Tigers, thanks mainly to the time ly stickwork of Biff Schaller. who registered his eleventh home, run of the season. The Beavers remain within strik ing distance of fifth place and should they drop a few games in a row they would not be in immediate danger of being dislodged from sixth position, the place they now hold in the per centage column. Seattle continues to forge ahead and is on its way to winning its ninth straight series. The Seattle club has not lost a series in eight weeks and has been winning with regularity over Oakland up north this week and should not have any diffi- J culty taking the series. 1 If Portland could only travel at the pace it did Thursday, the Beavers would have a lot more games in the win column than at present. The local club is getting to be one grand little outfit of in-and-outers, something .worse than just a bum team. Walter McCredie is gathering the bushers to the fold and by next week will have a whole flock of youngsters on the string. Sylvester Johnson and Jiarnabe are due any time and McCre die will welcome them upon their ar rival, as he expects, to use them both soon. Outfielder Frank Gatewood, who has been purchased from Spokane by the McCredies, has, been dabbling in the semi-pro ranks for several years, (latewood has been playing sensation al ball for Cliff Blankenship's Indians this season and hitting and fielding in coast league style. It was reported that the McCredies doled out 1500 iron men for Gate wood, eo he must be goqd. George Studebaker, a southpaw pitcher, who resides in Ontario, Cal., the Beavers' 1920 training site, and which will also be their 1921 condi tioning camp, will get a tryout with the Mackmen next season. Studebaker is the pitcher who worked for the Ontario locals and held Portland to a 1 to 0 score. The Beavers managed to get only five hits off his delivery. An Indian shortpatcher named Ben son, who is now playing with the On tario team, also is slated for a tryout with Portland next season, according to the dope. He has been hitting the semi-pro pitchers in the south for an average of .600, playing Sunday games and fielding all the way between sec end and third. Art Koehler, Kibby Spranger and Harold Poison may winter in On tario this year. Ross and Glazier or Kallio will likely be selected for mound duty in today's double-header against Ver non.

WORLD TITLE BROUGHT BACK Kuehn Developed as Champion by Instructor Cody. Louis (Happy) Kuehn. champion springboard diver of the world, is the title the youthful Multnomah Amateur Athletic club aerial artist will bring back to Portland from the Olympic games at Antwerp when he returns in September. The Winged M diving star yester day achieved the highest honor that can be conferred on any diver when he won first place in a field of the best springboard talent in the world Kuehn, who is only 18 years of age, has risen rapidly in the swimming world under the coaching of Jack Cody, swimming instructor of the Multnomah club. Cody took Kuehn in charge when he was a small lad and enrolled him in one of the Junior swimming classes at fhe Winged M club. Kuehn showed promise of de veloping into a diver of champion ship possibilities and coupled with a willingness for hard work and train ing he soon mastered the most diffi cult dives. He was trained slowly by Instructor Cody and it has only been during the last two years that he has showed to any extent in competition. Last year he won the naticnal junior title in the meet at the Multnomah club and later went south, where he placed third in the senior meet. At Los Angeles Kuehn was beaten by Clarence Pinkston of the Olympic club of San Francisco, who placed second to the Winged M lad in the Olympic games yesterday. Pinkston also nosed Kuehn out in the final Olympic tryouts held at Chicago re cently. The place Kuehn has reached in the diving world may be attributed to two things, one his willingness for hard work and training and in the other credit must be given to Jack Cody, who has worked with him through his diving career. Louis Balbach. another Portland boy who also received nis early in struction under Cody, placed in the diving yesterday, - ';ing a third place. Balbach, ex-member of the Multno mah club, left this city about eight months ago to attend Columbia uni versity at New York and since then he has been competing for the New York athletic club. Balbach at one time held the Pacific northwest title and won the national indoor high div ing title at the Panama-Pacific Inter national exposition at San Francisco in 1915. all r;. s. oarsmen qualify Jack Kelly, American Sculler Champion, Beats Junglof. - BRUSSELS, Aug. 27.

SUSPICION CAST ON BOUT If Englishman Fights as He Did Here and Lasts More Than One Round Something Is Wrong. BY DICK SHARP. Portland boxinc fans wer- un founded by the announcement carried over the wires to the effect that Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, had been mafrhrrl tt fight Johnny Sheppard 12 rounds in Jersey City September 7. If Sheppard fights against Leonard like he did against Harry Schuman here last fall he will last about one round." If he goes any longer it will mean that the fight is either "in the Dunaie' or that Leonard has back a lot in the last year. gone Sheppard came to Portland reputed to be the lightweight champion of England and claimed a formidable string of victories. He had fought three of America's best men. Ritchie Mitchell, Willie Fitzimmons ami Lew Tendler, and failed to do anyth'ng startling against them but attributed hi3 showings to the fact that he waa not yet acclimated to this country. However, since that time he has befn easy for Harry Schuman. Cal Delaney and other lightweights either unknown nationally or in the medio cre class. This he fails to explain. One thing may be said for Johnny and that is that he has a good man ager in Joe Woodman. Right now boxing fans in this part of the country hold Benny Leonar.i in a good deal of respect as a fighter, but if he lets Sheppard stay any length of time against him that re spect certainly will be lowered. And another thing. This boy Shep pard is not a lightweight. Sheppard is a welterweight and a big one. When he fought Tendler It waa given out after the fight that he had weighed 147 pounds and he looked bigger than Schuman when they met here. Harry is at his lightest when he gets down to 138 pounds and is more likely to scale 140 than 138 ringside. The eastern fight fans certainly have to stand for a lot of bunk, and a Leonard-Sheppard mill is just one example. Portland boxing followers will not only be watching the result of th Leonard-Sheppard bout, but will cen ter their attention on the outcome of the semi-windup between Joe Ber jamir.. lanky Portland lightweight, and Willie Jackson, the New York 133-pounder. Joe has been slated to meet Jack son for several months and if he can get over the hard-hitting New Yorker he can consider himself "in." Phone your want ads to The Orcgo- . nian. Main 7070.
