Portland club is hope lessly out of the race for the Pacific coast league gonfalon It is probable that three or four new players will be taken on by Manager McCredie for the purpose of testing them during the final weeks with a view to fitness for next year's team. Sylvester Johnson, a pitcher; Billy Speas, outfielder and Charles Bar nabe, outfielder, are among those who may be wearing Portland livery ere the month is out. Johnson and Bar nabe tried out with the Beavers last spring at Ontario, Cal., and later were sent to the Pacifio international league for seasoning. Baraabe Hits Over .300. Johnson won about 90 per cent of his games for Vancouver. B. C, while Barnabe hit well over .300 far Yaki ma. The Pacific International season ended Sunday and Johnson arrived in Portland yesterday and visited Judge liloCredie.. He was ordered to report to Manager Mack next Tuesday when the club returns home. The Vancouver management had several opportunities to sell Johnson to the majors, but Judge McCredie refused to permit this likely big right bander to go. Gatewood 'Will Be Released. Barnabe hasn't reported to the Port land management yet. but probably will be asked to finish the season with the Beavers. In this event. Out fielder Gatewood of the Spokane club, a protege of Gus Fisher's, will be returned to the inland empire me tropolis. Gatewood is held by Port land on an optional agreement which expires on September 15. Speas is too well known to need an introduction. He has been per forming in Portland raiment for nearly . a decade, off and on. This past season found him managing the Hegina club of the western Canada circuit. The Regina club won the pennant the first half and was run nerup to Calgary the second half. The two teams are to meet in a post season series to decide the real pen nant winner and Speas has written Judge McCredie that he will be ready to rejoin the Beavers about Septem ber 20. The series opened yesterday in egiiiu win go unui one or tne other has won five out of nine. Play ers will receive75 per cent of the net receipts and this will be split 60-40 amongst the winners and losers. Judge McCredie appears to be de cidedly anxious to place Portland on the baseball map next year. "We are going to lose Lew Blue to the Detroit club," said the Portland magnate yesterday. "There was talk of. Maine! going to the majors, but we have received no offers for him. If Blue is the only one taken by the majors it will simplify our task for next year very much. It will mean only a new first baseman, new short stop, a new outfielder and some pitchers. "I am going to have Walter Mc Credie go east this fall or winter and personally bargain for new play ers of ability. We tried hard this year to bolster our club, but found It almost impossible to get the majors to loosen,. up on new talent. I think the player market will be much easier this coming season." By splitting the eight games with Seattle the Vernon club gained a shade on Salt Lake last week in the fight for the 1920 Coast league bunt ing. Salt Lake lost the series to the Angels, four games to five. San Fran cisco crept up to a tie for third posi tion by drubbing the Portland club aix times In ten games. The Angels oic umj a. iruie oenina San Fran cisco and Seattle. Oakland captured seven out of nine games from Sacra mento and Is now in sixth position ahead of Portland. ACORN START BEATS RAINIER S Four Runs Tally in First Frame and Cooper Leaves Box. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7. Oak land got a running start of four runs In the first Inning, Miller bringing in two with a homer and defeated Se attle 5 to 2. Cooper was knocked from the box In the first frame.

II T MI IS TO MEETTRAMBITAS Top-Notch Card in Sight for Milwaukie Arena. HERMAN-MASCOTT GO OFF Frankie Mason, Flyweight Champ, Among Stars Listed for Lo cal Battles. . By DICK SHARP. Johnny Tillman, Minneapolis wel terweight, who fought a ten round no'decision fight with Champion Jack Britton in Cleveland, Ohio, last Fri day night will meet Alex Trambitas, of Portland, in the main event of the first boxing card of the season at the Milwaukie arena next Wednes day night. Tillmao wiil leave Chicago for Portland tonight and should arrive here three or four days before the scrap. The battle between "Babe" Her man of Sacramento, and Billy Mas cott, 116 pound champion of the Pacific coast has been called off, the Tillman-Trambitas match taking its place as the headliner. It developed yesterday that Herman did not have time to make weight for Mascott as agreed in the contract and as Char ley Yost, Mascott's trainer and man ager did not want to send his bay against Herman at catchweights) the bout was canceled. Top-Notch Card In Sljcht. It is the opinion of the writer and of many of the fans that George Moore, manager of the arena and Matchmaker Kendall made a wise move in signing up the battle between Johnny Tillman and Alex Trambitas for their first show instead of going with the bantams on top. Unless of national repute the little fellows do not draw the crowds that the big ones pull, and with such a main event as now scheduled on top the Milwauk ie arena is assured of a banner bouse at its opening show. Tillman is one of the best known boxers in the world at his weight and gained a good deal of prom inence during ,the war when he of fered to turn over a large percentage of every dollar he earned in the ring to war charities. Tillman Mas Met Leonard. Up to several years ago Tillman was a lightweight, and while fight ing the 135 pounders took on Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world on two occasions in no-decision matches and battled Charley White three times. He also has fought Johnny Dundee, Buck Fleming, Ad Wolgast, Leach Cross, Pal Brown. Ed die McAndrews, Irish Patsy Cline, Paul Doyle and many others. m m m The eight round contest between Frankie Jones, and Frankie Murphy at Milwaukie will go through and it is also a possibility that Herman will still box on the card, meeting Baby Blue, the colored 120 pounder. Johnny Fiske will meet Neal Zimmer man in a six round tangle and one other match w,ill round out the card. George Moore announced yesterday that the Milwaukie commission has completed arrangements with Frankie Mason, flyweight champion of Amer ica, to box at the arena fhe first part of October, the .exact date yet to be set. Mason's opponent will be Billy Mascott, the only boy on the Pacific coast with the class, who can make the 116 pounds that Mason de mands. s Harvey Thorpe, Kansas City welter, weight, who has fought all of the best boxers in the game will meet the winner, of the Tillman-Trambitas match at the Milwaukie arena the latter part of this month or in Oc tober.

S. and French. Honor Men Remain, Canadian Eliminated. ROSLYN, N. V., Sept. 7. Four former- and, the present amateur title holders of the United States and France' won their matches today in the first match round of the national tournament, but the Canadian cham pion was eliminated. S. Davidson Her ron of Pittsburg was enabled to con tinue his efforts to retain his title by defeating Peter Harmon of New York after an uphill fight which went to the 39th hole. C. P. Grier of Montreal. Canadian champion, was an easy victim for Robert A. Gardner of Chicago, twice champion. Charles Evans Jr and W. C. Fownes Jr., both former cham pions, also were victors. Thomas D. Armour, a Scotchman who holds the amateur championship of France, won on the home ereen from George Hoffner of Philadelphia. Four Champions Victors. Francis Ouimet, former open and amateur champion; Bobby Jones, youthful wonder from Atlanta; J. W. Sweetser, Yale intercollegiate cham pion, and F. J. Wright Jr., the young Massachusetts champion, also won their matches. It was steadiness which enabled Davey Herron, steel worker, to con tinue in thetournament. He entered the afternoon round one down, and probably would have won at the home green had not he hooked his second shot into a clump of trees on a hillside overlooking the green. A niblick shot which failed to hold the ball on the green then made it neces sary for the match to go to extra holes. He halved the first two extra holes in par fours. His opponent, Harmon, had the honor at the third hole and drove out of bounds twice from the tee, each drive costing him a penalty stroke and the distance under the new rules. Recognizing the inevitable, he shook Davey's hand and said: "That's enough." Evans Has Record Card. Chick Evans and Fred Wright raised the hopes of their many fol lowers by excellent cards which broke records. Evans' card of 72 was the best ever turned in in ama teur competition on the Engineers' club course, and had been equaled only by the club professional, he best previous amateur card was 74. made by- Max Marston in a club tour nament. Fred Wright went out in his after noon round in 34, a record which was equaled by Ouimet last week in four ball competition with Canadians. Wright had one birdie 3 and a birdie 4. The four was made on the long ninth hole, when Wright sank a 40-foot putt, with an aluminum club he borrowed from his opponent, Albert Seckel of Chicago. It was the first time he had ever used such type ot a putter. While -cards in match play usually represent many conceded putts which would not always be made in medal play, the gallery regards the holders of the best cards as likely to last into the final rounds of the tourn ament. Among these favorites is in cluded Robert A. Gardner of Chicago, who put out C. P. Grier, the Canada ian champion, 9 and 7. Grier's battle was almost hopeless after the first 18 holes, for he was then 5 down Gardner went out in 35 in the after noon round and he took two threes, one a birdie, before the match ended. He told Grier that this afternoon's stretch represented the best golf he had ever played. Hoffner, starting his second round 3 down to Armour, made a sensational fight with four birdies in five successive holes, but failed to square the match on the home green. He needed a par four to tie the match, but took his usual five. Jenea Has Easy Time. Bobby Jones had an easy time with his fellow citizen of Atlanta, J. Simp son Dean, who plays also for Prince ton. Jones was up 3 after the first round and at the start of the second 18 holes he made likely to give Dean a chance because of his careless put ting, but he won 5, and '4.

Johnston, the loser, will oppose each other again next Satur day in the east versus west team Why we selected this non-porous tire after comparing the values of nine other makes ORDINARY tires are made of porous rubber which Weakens or disinte grates as the result of road wear. Moreover, it absorbs moisture, grit, grease, oil an.d other-injurious substances.. These' foreign substances further weaken the tread and eventually the underlying fabric.
