BY ROSCOE FAffCETT.
While the. 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

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. A single, double
and a home run were made from his
offerings. Seattle's triple play was a
bright spot of the game. Stumpf

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. '

receipts were $134,904, including state
and war tax. Miske fought on a
straight guarantee of $25,000.
After the knockout it was reported
that one of Miske's ribs had been bro
ken by the terrific punch he had re
ceived in the second round, but two
physicians examined him and they
agreed there was no fracture. There
was a sore red spot under Miske's
heart, the result of the punch which
he admitted was the blow that really
started him toward defeat. His ribs
were bruised and his jaw was very
sore.
Dempsey did not bear a mark of the
battle. He dined with Promoter Fitz
simmons and several friends last
night, and spent the rest of the eve
ning dancing. He planned to leave
for Chicago late this afternoon and
will immediately go east in search of
new opponents to conquer.
Promoter Fitzsimmons declared the
contest was a success in every way.
Despite the police protection, scores
of visitors were victims of pickpock
ets. Miske was heartbroken over his de
feat . He left the ring in tears. His
father and wife were ringside specta
tors. FIGHTS " STAGED IN PRISON

Demeliia. Italian, won from
Jack Edwards in the third round of
a i-.ard fought battle staged in the
auditorium of the state penitentiary
here last night. The event- was the
headliner of a seven bout programme.
When the referee called time, Ed
wards was hanging over the ropes. By
winning this bout, Demeliia is now
the lightweight champion of the
prison.

bout between "Texas Slim" and
"Dangerous Dan" McGrew. This was
a no-decision contest.
Eddie Quinlan and Jack Daley
staged 3. three roung draw. In a
spirited three-round match A. Perry

Present Champion Retains

EVANS GETS RECORD CARD
Four ex-Title Holders, U. 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. Summary in

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. Sand blisters develop--tread sep
aration goes on unseen." Thus the tire
is ready to give way at the first, sudden
strain or shock.
To produce a rubber that has not these
weaknesses, two' practical tire builders and
two research chemists spent months in
laboratory research and road tests. They
. at last discovered Crolide a non-porous
rubber compound, which eliminates
premature tire troubles.
Crolide seals up the millions of small
pores. Made with" Crolide Compound,
Thermoid tires are from 58 to . 100
tougher than ordinary tires, yet ihey gain
' in resiliency.. A one-inch strip stretches
to 7Ji inches.
It was after comparing their value, point
by point, with 9 other makes that we be
came distributors for Thermoid Crolide
Compound tires for this territory.
You are invited to call and see these new
tires, also the famous Crolide Compound
tubes. Let us tell you interesting 'detailed
facts, experiences and tests that show why
either Thermoid Cord or Fabric Tires end
premature trouble and ive better
mileage.
