Where the Trams Play This Week.
Portland at San Francisco: Seattle at
Vernon; Oakland at Sacramento; Loa An
ffciss at Salt Lake.
: - BT ROSCOK FATVCETT.
Pacific Coast league fans are being
treated to a lively game of leapfrog
this fall In the struggle between Ver
son ; and Salt Lake for the league
leadership. Last week Vernon jumped
again Into first place by drubbing the
laplees Portland club five games In
six. while Los Angeles wai taking
Salt Lake down the line five games
n seven.
Vernon Is scheduled to battle Seat
tle this week and the Bees will try
to get revenge on the Angels In their
home lot. Salt Lake and Seattle are
both mighty tough at home, so It need
sot cause surprise if Salt Lake. fares
fcnore satisfactorily than the Tigers
during the next few days.
Seattle Founding: Alone.
Seattle still is pounding along like
k destroyer In a fishing fleet. Only
Seven full games separate the Rai
niers from the league leader. Two
months ago the Rainiers looked hope
less and Portland fans were able to
craze downward with some slight feel
ing of satisfaction.
The Seattle management got busy
and bolstered the team, while the
Portland management contented Itself
with bringing in a few youngsters.
Itesult, the Beavers are headed down
ward so fast that the Oaks and Sena
tors are beginning to feel the rush
of air.
Two months ago nearly any fan in
the city could have told Judge Mc
Credie that his club needed a heavy
hitting shortstop and at least a
couple of new experienced pitchers.
The judge hasn't made a move to fill
the requirements at least, not with
success and it looks now as though
only a miracle can save the Beavers
from a second division berth.
Beavers Leave for San FraaciMO,
The Beavers departed at midnight
Sunday for a series at San Francisco.
They go to Los Angeles the following
week and then come home for the
final three weeks In the home baili
wick. Nine games are scheduled for
this week at San Francisco and
Charley Graham is trying to ring in a
tie game and a postponed game on
the Beavers, as he figures Mackmen
are broken in. spirit and will be easy
pickings. If he succeeds In arrange
lng for the two extra games it will
mean 11 engagements for the Beavers
perhaps a league record for one
series.
Seattle's win over the Oaks marked
the ninth straight series taken by the
Puget sound aggregation. Little won
der the fans up north are smiling so
expansivey that some of them have
crowded their ears down the back of

SAN FRANCISCO, V Aug. 30. Will
iam McCarthy, president of the Ba

nounced today that he had reconsid
ered the order suspending William
Rumler of the Salt Lake club for an
Indefinite period and that he had sub
stituted his previous order with one
which provides that Rumler shall be
suspended for five years.
McCarthy stated that he had tele

the Salt Lake club, that Rumler's case

ond telegram to Lane and Umpires
McGrew and Anderson, he fixed the
period of suspension at five years.
This action, it was explained, was
necessitated by the fact that under
section 27 of the Pacific coast league
constitution the president of the
league is empowered only to suspend

ARLEIA HAS FIGHT CARD
BOXERS AXD WRESTLERS TO
MEET AT SMOKER.
Five Events Arranged and Ted

pling Refereeing.
Local fistic followers will hie them
selves out Mount Scott way tonight
to witness the Arleta W. O. W. Ath
letic club's initial boxing and wres
tling smoker of the season. The card
for tonight Is an exceptionally good
one, consisting of three mitt battles
and two mat contests. . Neal Zim

Brilliant Court Fights Feature
Opening Round Though Davis
Team Survives. .
FOREST HILLS. N. Y.. Aug. 30.
Surprises marked the opening matches
of the 39th annual all-comers' national
tennis tournament today. All the
Davis cup stars, Including William
M. Johnston, San Francisco, the play-Ing-through
title-holder, survived the
ordeals.
Where the elements of the unex
pected came in was the fact that Carl
Fischer, the Pennsylvanian, carried
the famous little champion for a bit
ter deuce set struggle in the third set
before the end. Then, to the amaze
ment of spectators, Francis T. Hunter
carried R. Norris Williams II, the
twice-crowned king of the American
courts, to an extra set. G. Kolket
Caner, former Harvard star, played
for an upset. His fast deep court
driving and steadiness defied all re
sistance and toppled over Walter T.
Hayes, Chicago, No. 9 of the ranking
list.
Johnston Slumps Under Fire.
These were the outstanding fea
tures of fights that were filled with
brilliant play.
Williams, In his engagement with
Hunter, revealed the uncertainty of
the famous player,-
Johnston, whose efforts to retain
his title are being closely watched,
slumped badly under the fire of
Fischer's fast strokes. He scored
6-2, 6-3, 10-8 and was hard pressed
in the final set. There was an
abundance of the usual fancy and
trick stroking as William T. Tllden
IL winner of the world's champion
ship at Wimbledon, conquered Law
rence B. Rice, the young Massachu
setts state player. The youngster hit
hard and gave Tilden plenty of
chances to do his fanciest smashing
from deep court before he won, 6-4,
6-3,. 6-2.
Coast Stars Score Easily.
Roland Roberts, C. J. Griffin and
Willis E. Davis, a trio of the Califor
nia group, all scored with compara
tive ease.
T. R. Pell carried Davis to five sets.
which was chiefly due to carelessness
on the part of the Pacific coast cham

Sport News and Comment
Babe Ruth evidently has his likes and
dislikes ot the various pitchers who op-
poeh im. Kerr of Chicago has been the
pitcher that Babe has "picked on" most
and the home-run swatter has nicked said
Mr. Kerr for four complete circuits of the
bases. Pennock of Boston, Leonard of De
troit and Williams of Chicago have all
been well, received by Mr. Ruth In that
he has scored three homers oft the deliv
eries of each.
Prospects for the reopening of the track
at Tlajuana do not appear very bright.
The present Internal trouble in Mexico,
coupled with the ban placed on betting
by the new governor of Lower California,
are enough in themselves to keep the track
closed. Jim Coffroth and Jack Atkin, pro
pritors of the Tlajuana track, are in a
quandary as to the future of the horse
racing- game over the border.
Jack Skelly, the well-known boxinfc ex
pert of Yonkers, N. Y., is of the opinion
that when Georges Carpentier and Battling
Levlnsky meet the boxing fans will be
treated to one of the most scientific ex
hibitions of real boxing the world has ever
seen. He also believes that the French
man will enter the ring a heavy favorite
in the betting odds, and Skelly believes
he will win, if not by a knockout, then on
points.
Jack Kelly of the Vesper Boat club of
Philadelphia has made one of the most
impressive records ever compiled by an
amateur oarsman. During his career of
ten years he haa won a total of 88 races
in open regattas. He is now at Antwerp
competing in the Olympic games.
Ban Francisco high schools are to play
three types of football this season. The
English Rugby type that was played for
several seasons by California and Stan
ford, will have teams out for the cham
pionship in what is expected to be the
last series of this type of game. American
football will be played by practically all
the schools and most of the schools will
also put soccer football teams into a
championship series.
HEAVIES IN DAY OF REST
DEMPSEY AXD MISKE WEIGH
NEARLY SAME AMOUNT.
Walter Eckersall to Hold Clock and
Referee Will Be Picked by
Next Saturday.
BENTON HARBOR, Mich.. Aug. 30.
Jack Dempsey and Billy Miske
rested today, neither doing any box
lng for fear of going stale before
their championship match next Mon
day.
The champion's only work was i
five-mile run. He announced that he
now weighed 189 and that he would
wind up his training Friday resting
Saturday and Sunday.
Miske, who now weighs 192. said
that he expects to drop 5 pounds be
fore the match. Saturday will see
the end of his training.
The challenger may be forced to
uspend boxing for two or three days
as a result of opening an old wound
over his left eye in training yester
day. Miske suffered a slight cut when
a negro sparring partner butted him.
Dempsey is rapidly rounding into
condition. He boxed the last four
rounds of his glove session In a heavy
downpour of rain yesterday. Demp
sey s legs are beginning to assume
pindle like proportions and the thin
roll of fat that was in evidence
around his waistline when he started
training has entirely disappeared.
Promoter Fitzsimmons announced
today that Walter Eckersall, of Chi
cago had been agreed upon as the of
flcial timekeeper for the Labor day
matches. The question of a referee
probably will not be settled until Fri
day or Saturday.

PROTECTION FOR BASEBALL
PLAYERS IS WANTED.
Device Similar to That Used on
Football Field Finds Respons
ive Chord.
The suggestion of eastern club
owners that headgear tor DaseDan
players, similar to that worn by the
gridiron warriors, be universally
adopted, is striking a popular chord
among the players. If the major
leagues go through with it. It Is a
certainty the minors will follow suit.
Pacific Coast league history fur
nishes one instance of a player wear
ing a football helmet to protect his
head. When Jimmy Lewis, Seal out
fielder, was traded to Sacramento, he
was hit a fearful wallop on the head
by a ball pitched by Elmer Koestner,
then with Vernon. Lewis remained
out for a week, but when he returned
he appeared upon the field with bis
head encased In the leather covering
so conspicuous on the football field
Lewis claimed just the thought that
he was protected gave him confidence
at the plate. Without the headgear
to give him a start, he feared he
would never be able to resume play.
The unfortunate accident to Ray
Chapman, Cleveland shortstop, who
died as the result of a fractured skull
occurring from a fast ball pitched by
Carl Mays of the Yankees, has started
the army of ball players to thinking
along safety first lines, and that some
protective device will soon be worn
seems to be the consensus of opinion.
While there are only a few pitchers
In baseball who deliberately throw at
a batter's head with Intent to do
bodily harm, the heavers who will
throw the ball close to a batter to
Inspire him with fear are without
number. It is part of the game to
drive the batter away from the plate
If he is standing up there with too
much confidence, but it Is the result
of this that accidents often occur.
The coast league has been fortu
nate in Injuries of this nature. The
nearest fatality on record was when
Jack Lively, pitching for the Oaks in
1910, hit Jess Orrendorff, Los An
geles catcher, on the head In a game
played in Oakland on a Sunday morn
ing. Orrendorff was at the point of
death for three days and nights, but
he finally pulled through. It was al
ways claimed that It was a deliberate
move on Lively's part.
Many batters who now stand as far
away from the plate as is possible,
might be induced to move' in a little
closer If some measure of protection
jras given them.

FEW PROVE EXCEPTIONS
BOXERS OVER 30 USUALLY LAX
IN ATHLETICS.
Corbett, Ritchie, Wolcott, Erne,
Ryan Still in Good Shape.
Youuj Griffo Lacking.
The average boxer or athlete when
he gets over the 30-year mark, as a
general rule, does not keep up his
athletic activity, the result being that
he quickly puts on fat. Former light
weight champion of the world, Willie
Ritchie, is a notable exception to this.
Willie today is 31 years old, and
during the past week boxed an ex
hibition at the San Francisco Olym
pic club before a crowd of more than
1000 club members.
When he stepped into the t ring
there was a general round of 'com
ment on the wonderful condition he
showed, the lack of excess flesh, and
the general look of the former cham
pion's muscular development.
Ritchie, of course. Is comparatively
a young man, but beyond the age of
the days of hard training, yet he
looks in better condition than many
present day boxers.
One of the most remarkable men
today in the matter of preservation
of muscular development is Tommy
Ryan, former welter and middle
weight champion. He is today well
over the half century mark in age,
and yet he still shows the long flex
ible muscles that enabled him to
move in such bewildering speed in
days of long ago.
Joe Walcott is 48 years of age.
shows slight traces of excess fat but
nothing to speak of and he still Is
able to give a clever exhibition.
Speaking of Beau Brummels brings
to mind Jim Corbett, now 54 years
of age. There are few men in the
world today who strip better than
Gentleman Jim."
Kid McCoy at 47 is lithe and active.
Frank Erne at 45 has put on a little
weight, but still is a remarkably well
developed and conditioned man. The
same applies to Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien, who Is 43 years of age and
is in fine physical condition.
On the other hand some of the
great boxers have not taken care of
themselves from the physical stand
point. A notable instance is "Young"
Griffo. He is just 50, and while he
can still show a few tricks as a
clever boxer, he is lacking In physical
condition.

And get more genuine chew
ing satisfaction, when you use
(this class of tobacco.
This is because the full, rich,
real tobacco taste lasts so
long, you don't need a fresh
chew nearly as often.
And a small chew gives more
real satisfaction than a big chew
of the ordinary kind ever did.
Any man who uses the Real

that.
