By dropping seven games without a win at Los Angeles last week the Portland club gained slightly on Sacramento in the race for the booby .prize in the Pacific Coast league. Friends .Portland now has begun to harden in seventh place and everything in dicates that the club will freeze over before October 17 when the league parks will be locked up for the winter months. However, Sacramento is due to open a series at the Vaughn street orchard "Wednesday afternoon and a merry battle for the cellar impends. The Senators are only six full games ahead of Portland, and, despite the faft that tViAV heiran tn lull nn thA - basement shelves several weeks ago. -they have'no sinecure for the con solation prize Beavers Establish Record. Seven straight defeats is about a record 'for the Beavers, passing the mark of six straight handed out by the Seals early in the season. It is to be hoped that the Beavers show some improvement on their return to the - home bailiwick. Some patriotically inclined fan might dig up the old revolutionary slogan of "No Taxation without Representation," and refuse to be taxed on the theory that the Beavers are not representing Portland. abled Chicago to defeat "Washington, 13 to 6.

Sept. 13. (Spe cial.) A hunting party composed of Raymond Doolittle of this city, his brother-in-law, Joseph Pfigter, and Martin Steuber of New Era have re turned from southern Oregon. They secured one doer, but killed innu merable rattlesnakes: Doolittle had the unusual experl rience of having his foot struck by one of the snakes, but it was protect ed by heavy boots. The hunters for got about the deer they had come for and started war on the snakes, kill ing dozens of them. Friends who had apticipated receiving venison were somewhat disappointed to find that their gfts were rattles. English Goircrs Win. CINCINNATI, Sept. 13. Harry Var don and Ted Ray, British golf cham pions, today beat Templeton Briggs, Cincinnati city champion, and Al Baumgartner, former city champion 1 up. Baseball Summary. Walter McCrcdie's team seems to be almost "there," but not quite. Most - of the games last week were lost by one-run margins. The absence of Lew Blue from the lineup under a 10-day suspension, probably cost the Beav ers a couple of games. Blue is per haps the most valuable player on the Beaver roster. . McCredle la AnRry. Incidentally, Judge McCredie is quite wrathy at President McCarthy of the Coast league for his treatment of Blue, following his fistic fracas n- i t i Umnir Bvrnn Ar.fnrdinp to the reports that have oozed north from San Francisco, Byron precipit ated the fight by taking a swing at Blue. McCredie thinks the fine of $100 assessed against Blue is unfair, and he thinks the 10 days suspension un " fair to the club and Portland fans. and McCarthy probably will hear Blue, too, is rather "sore" about it . for the fine will have to come out of his salary. Byron probably is laugh ing up his sleeve for he got off with out losing a cent, so far as can be ascertained. With five more weeks to go, the -" race for the pennant in the Pacific Coast league is beginning to chill slightly. Vernon took five out of seven from Sacramento last week, while San Francisco was walloping the bait Lake club four times in six games. The margin between Vernon - and the Bees has widened to five full games. Jjom Ancflu Ta Third. Los Angeles Jumped back to third place, with the Seals close behind, and Seattle at the head oVJhe second div ision. After many wRks of triumph the Seattle club dropped a series last week to Oakland. A margin of nine full games from the top practically precludes Seattle from attaining its ambition of grabbing the pennant. Seattle's spurt put-a lot of "pep' into the 1920 race, and many of the : local fans are pulling hard for the Rainlers to finish in the first divis Ion. Portland will'be at home three of the five weeks that remain before taps. Sacramento, Salt Lake and then ! Seattle will, be the local attractions. After the last Seattle game, the Beav ers will go south to Oakland, and then , to Vernon for the finish. During the next three weeks double- headers scheduled for the local park will commence at 1 o'clock instead of 1:30. -YANKS SET PACE RUTH'S HOMER SCORES PTPP, WINNING FOR NEW YORK.

Brooklyn increased its lead in the Na- does not expect to have any trouble when he faces Alex Trambitas. the young Portland welter, in the main event of tomorrow night's card at the Milwaukie arena. Trambitas (iolog Good. Trambitas put in his last gruelling session in the gymnasium yesterday and will content himself with some light work ths afternoon.' He is down to his best fighting weight and stepping around at a fast clip. Jack Fahie's young mixer is not the least awed by Tillman's formidable ring record and will ro in the fray to win' In the fastest time and by the widest margin possible. The remainder of the card is as follows: 1 Frankie Murphy of Denver vs. Frankie Jones of San Francisco, eight rounds, 142 pounds; "Babe" Herman of Sacramento vs. Baby Blue of San Francisco, ' six rounds, 120 pounds; Niel Zimmerman of Portland vs. Johnny Fiske of Rock Island, 111., six rounds. 130 pounds: Young Demp- sey vs. Jack Holland, 125 pounds, four rounds. Murphy Floors Tillamook Boy, Frankie Murphy, the Denver sock er, who meets Frankie Jones in the semi-final, stepped down to Tilla mook. Or., the other night and knocked off Young Carmen, a loca champion, in two rounds. Carmen had been touted to the skies, but came down to earth in less time than Billy Miske. Murphy is in great condi tion and primed for, some rough bat tling. Jones looks in better shape than he did on the last occasion he fought here? 'when he facet Scotty Williams, and is' about eight bounds heavier. Two budding youngsters will be given a chance to break in in the four - round curtain raiser when Young Dempsey tangles with Jack Holland. If Dempsey wins, he will box hereafter under his real name or an Irish cognomen, as a. whole flock of Young Dempsey's are crop ping up around the country. One is boxing in Tacoma, a couple in San Francisco and at last one in every other fistic center on the coast. Young Holland has had but one fight, that in Bend, Or., a month or so ago, while Dempsey has yet to take part in a regular tangle. Both have shown promise In the gymnasium, however, and like to mix. Pete Mitche will soon return to the contests by winning a double-header from Chicago, 7 to 3 and 7 to 2, while Cincinnati lost to Philadelphia. It was the Superbas' 10th straight victory on their home grounds. Brooklyn virtually knocked Alex ander out of the box in the first con test for its first victory over the star boxman this season. ' Twelve hits for a total of 21 bases were made off Alexander and Carter, who relieved him after the fifth. The Cubs' ragged fielding in the second game made it easy for the Superbas to win. Marquard, who is credited with the victory, was taken out in the fourth for a pinch hitter. Scores: First game R. H. E. R. H. E.

Bailey, Jones and O'Farrell; Marquard, Mamaux and Miller. Jack Skelly, the well-known east ern boxing expert, is of the opinion that Willard before long will come out with a challenge to Dempsey. Skelly is one of the few experts who believe that Willard could give Demp sey a far greater battle than on the occasion of their last clash, when the champion took the count from the then 'challenger. Jack Dempsey, in such short order. Tex Rickard, now lessee of Madison Square Garden in New York, is ang ling for an opponent for Dempsey and the eastern dispatches have it that Tex has offered Willard a chance to take on the champion. Tex considers that the return of Jess Willard to the ring would not only, be a big fistic attraction, but that the former cham pion is entitled to a crack at Demp sey. Skelly believes that Willard was not properly trained in his meeting with Dempsey last year. The east ern man says: "Jess made a very serious mistake in not having a capable trainer to watch and guard and prepare him to meet such a formidable, fast fighter as Dempsey. When you boil it all dbwn it was chiefly the lack of speed which caused the quick defeat of Willard. Had he been as fast as he was in some of his former contests he still might have been the world's champion. Boston 3, Pittsburg 0. BOSTON. Sept. 13.

No game fish will be planted here after in any waters not open to the public as fishing grounds and no game fish -will be planted in streams in which open irrigation exists, ac cording to a ruling made at the meet ing of the game commission jester day. T'his action was taken, to put a stop to the practice of private indivi duals of obtaining fish from the state and then using them later for com mercial purposes. That a few per sons had been carrying on such opera tions was brought to the attention of the commission recently and' when in vestigated found- to be true. Matt L. Rickman of Leaburg was selected for the new position of su perin.tendent of trout hatcheries in the state. Commissioner J. H. Driscoll dissented from this appointment. The action of electing Mr. Rickman was taken yesterday to make legal his selection at the Eugene meeting, which was held on Labor day, legal holiday. Mr. Rickman's salary will be $250 a month.
