The Rainiers slipped back Into the rut acaiii today, losing a poorly played contest to the Heavers, 3 to 0. The home boys were in their hltless mood asain, while Rod Murphy made two errors at first base which were converted into runs by McCredie's hustling sans. Kailio pitched good ball and deserved his shutout. The opposition did not frlean an earned run off the three local chuck era w ho took turns at the Job. Hunky Schorr shut the visitors out for three 'inninKs and then kicked himself out of the game. Schorr became pro voked when Pan Mctlrew missed two or three strikes on him and Hunky expressed himself so strongly that Iiancerous Dan1" chased him to the splashing waters. Hunky refused to go of his own accord, however, and it took the combined efforts of Bonne and Zamlock to escort the southpaw to the clubhouse. Cox Scorfii on rlake. Charley Sweeney, who relieved fcchorr, also did well, and would have not permitted a run had ilurphy held those two throws. He performed the feat of striking out (Jeoige Maisel and IjOU Blue in the sixth with the bases full. Portland's first unearned score came In the fourth. 'With Dick Cox on sec ond and two out, Sclialler dumped a roller to Hohrie. who threw In plenty of time to retire Biff at first. Rod dropped the toss and Cox scored. In the eighth Murphy's second slip gave Cox a life, and after two were out Baker tripled to right and Kingdon popped a Texas over third, two more Beaver tallies counting. RainlerM Lack Punch. The locals could have made up for those runs and scored a couple of more to boot had they possessed the punch of a few weeks ago, because they were on the bases often. Captain Rohne. who is doing half of the hit ting for the club, singled in the fourth, stole second and scampered to third on Baker's low throw to head him off. There was but one out with the heavy stickers coming up and yet Bohne couldn't reach home on the meager assistance his mates gave him.

BASEBALL PROBE WILL FINISH TASK No Players Get. Immunity From Prosecution. MORE CHARGES POSSIBLE Loyal Sox Likely to Get Reward Tills Vear Out 'of Their World Scries Cut. CHICAGO. Sept. 30. A declaration that the investigation of the 1919 world's series baseball scandal would be continued by the Cook county grand jury, which will be constituted a special grand jury, was made in a statement issued today by Charles A. MacDonald. chief justice, who or dered the inquiry. Every suspicious game, he declared, that has been played within the last 18 months In either the National or the American league will come within the purview of the investigation. The investigation, the judge de clared, still has much to accomplish, "To this end," he added, "the present grand jury will be incorporated as a special body Saturday and will go ahead until it has sifted down the evidence to the last incriminating fact. Every suspicious game which has been played within the last 18 monthe in either league will be with in the purview of the investigation. Because of the statute of limitations that is as far back as the jury can go. ;uilty to Be Prosecuted. "There need be no doubt about the prosecution of guilty players and their co-conspirators. None of those who have confessed have been granted immunity; in fact, each has specifically waived it. Of course It will be natural for the prosecutors to take into consideration services which the indicted men have per formed for the state, but that does not mean they will escape indict ment." August Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati Reds, last year's pennant winners, and former chairman of the national baseball commission, who was asked by the grand jury to pre sent whatever documents he may have bearing on the 1919 series, and Clyde Elliott, motion picture- man, who aided Charles Comiskey, president of the Chicago White Sox, in his inves tigation of the series, are to be the next witnesses before the grand jury. It was Jaid tonight. It was also as serted that efforts would be made to obtain statements from two . addi tional suspended White Sox players as to their part in "throwing" games. More Indictments Likely. John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, left for New York, but was expected to return Tuesday with Benny Kauff and Fred Toney. members of his club. Kauff was al leged to have been involved in "throwing" a game last summer on deal with Heinie Zimmerman. Indictments, it is said, may be voted against three more ball players and six or seven gamblers. Two of the latter may be a man known as Brown of New York and "Sport" Sul livan of Boston, who were named In the confession to the grand jury yes terday of Claude Williams. Whether the" eight indictments previously re ported will be returned -in court da ponds on the decision of State's At torney Hoyne. Players who remained loyal to Charles A. Comiskey, president of the Chicago White Sox, in the last world's series against Cincinnati, may receive this reward this year, according to statistics figured out tonight. In fig uring this problem attention was calied to the small number of eligible players remaining on the White Sox club who would share in the money. The problem, which is a mathemat ical one, has many possibilities. Loyal Sox Reward Due. If the White Sox win the pennant and engage Brooklyn in the world's series, even though they should be defeated, the losers' share, when divided among the individual White WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND. Sox players, would be almost as great as that of their opponents, because of the larger number players on the National league club. Owing to the rul- which gives the second and third place clubs in the leagues a share in the world's series pool. It is possible for each player on the Chicago team, if it finishes in second place and divides its money, to receive almost as much as the individuals on the losing club in the baseball classic Another possible division would arise in the event the White Sox should tie the New York Tankees for second place by losing all three games to St. Louis. In this case the total second and third place money would b divided equally between the clubs. The amount divided among the White Sox in that case would give each Chi cago player a larger sum than the in dividual amounts received by each New York player and also would be pearly as much as the individual share of each player on the losing club. NEW VORK OFFERS TO HELP Chicago Prosecutor May Accept Aid From Eastern City. NEW YORK, Sept. 30. On the eve of the investigation to be conducted by District Attorney Lewis of Kings county concerning rumors that the coming world series had been "fixed," District Attorney Swann tonight sent a letter to State's Attorney Hoyne of Chicago, offering his assistance to prosecute those indicted for the alleged scandal connected with the 1919 series. Mr. Swann's offer was made contingent upon Mr. Hoyne finding that some part of the alleged felony was committed in New York county. "The Chicago authorities seem to have well in hand the cases of the crooks who were willing to debase the great national sport of baseball for their sordid ends," .said Mr. Swann's letter. "The crooked gam blers who aided and abetted, procured and advised the throwing of the games, seemed to have planned the scheme in part in New York and con summated it in your city. "Concocting the scheme to defraud, of course, is a misdemeanor and is all that our courts could take juris diction of, as I read the testimony, while your courts have jurisdiction of the felony committed by consum mation of the scheme to defraud." While President Ebbetts and Man ager Wilbert Robinson of the Brook lyn team have no dou'bt as to the hon esty and integrity of their players, both have expressed willingness to aid District Attorney Lewis In his Investigation. The district attorney declared that he had heard vague rumors that a clique of gamblers, similar to that which bribed the White Sox players last year, was making an attempt to buy the coming world's series. It was his intention, he said, to question the Brooklyn players thoroughly as soon as pos sible. Three members of the team. Cap tain Zach Wheat, Al Mamaux and James W. Taylor, appeared before District Attorney Lewis late today and made statements of which a stenographic report was made. Later when Mr. Lewis was asked if anything of a suspicious nature had been unearthed, he replied: "Abso lutely nothing." The district attorney said he was satisfied that the players were "strictly on the level," and that his purpose in examining them was simply to find out if any attempt had been made to approach them. President Ebbetts said that by Sat urday all members of the team will have appeared before the prosecutor. INDOOR SKI CLCB BAViJCETS Evctit Is in Xature of Farewell to Captain Roscoe Facett.

Wakeman was re-elected president and plans were made for the annual winter's outing in the mountains. For several years the club has spent a fortnight each year snow-shoeing and skiing on the slopes of Mount Hood, alternating between the north and the south sides each season. The war interrupted the outdoor activities of the organization but. the mid-winter jaunts will be resumed in December or January. The banquet was given in the na ture of a farewell to Captain Roscoe Fawcett, secretary of the club. Among those present were: A. D. Wakeman, J. R. Latourette. Frank Harmer.

VOTE PROVES UNANIMOUS Committee Appointed to Investi gate Further Possibilities or Gambling ou Coast. SAX FRANCISCO, Sept. 39- (Spe cial.) Business men with large inter ests were brought here at heavy ex pense from the four points of the compass to attend a meeting of the coast league and to discuss the case of Bill Rumler, a ball player who has been barred for five years because he admitted taking money from Babe Borlon, a confessed briber of ball players, and not even a motion was made that Rumler be reinstated. On the contrary, the motion was made to sustain the action of President Mc Carthy, and every one of the eight directors in the league voted favor ably. Later, Billy Lane, president of the Salt Lake club, realized his mis take and asked permission to change his vote. That was granted him, so the records now show that the direct or? of the San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Vernon and Los Angeles clubs voted to sus tain the action of McCarthy, and Salt Lake alone voted "No." A committee, consisting of Presi dent McCarthy, Cal Ewing of the Oak land club and Charles H. Graham of the San Francisco club, was appointed and voted permission to use the sink ing fund of the league to investigate and ferret out all rumors of crooked deals and crooked ball players in the Coast league. The Salt Lake repre sentatives left the meeting with the impression that this would give them another chance to bring up the Rum ler matter. Rnmlrr's Chance Scemit Slim. In this tttey are likely mistaken, as there seems about as much chance of Bill Rumler being reinstated as Eddie Cicotte has of pitching the "first game in the next world series. His Salt Lake friends may still believe that Bill was "simply a big boob." as they ex press it, in making his deal with Babe Borton. But until Rumler can bring evidence to show that he was not telling the truth when he signed the affidavit which was filed with Presi dent McCarthy, explaining his deal ings with Borton, the Rumler case will not get inuch consideration in the future. Judge McCredie and William H. Klepper of the Portland and Seattle clubs did not attend the meeting. Lewis Moreing of Sacramento had the Portland proxy and Cal Ewing voted for Klepper. The meeting was so tame that Pres ident McCarthy and some of the direc tors wondered why it was called at all. First. Salt Lake wanted to turn the whole matter over to a committee which would make a report to the an nual meeting of the league. Johnny Powers of Los Angeles and Charley Graham of S:m Francisco said they had been called away from their busi ness to discuss the Rumler case and they insisted upon discussing it. ncv. Goflheo Defends Knmler. And, after all, the discussion amounted to nothing. Jack Cook made a long speech, showing that the .Salt Lake folks were anxious to pre serve the integrity of baseball. Frank Murphy, a former president of the Salt Lake club, deplored the fact that the Salt Lake folks were being put in a bad' light and he wanted that cor rected. Then Rev. Dr. Goshen, who said he "knew men," said that if the directors knew Bill Rumler as well as he did they would be convinced that he did nothing crooked when he took money from Babe Borton. But all the talk amounted to just nothing at all. Then Billy McCarthy put on a spellbinding stunt of his own and he got the only applause given any of the orators. The directors did a smart thing when they decided to have an open meeting, and a stenographer to take down the proceedings. The more open their proceedings are the more con fidence the public will have in them. Salt Lake made no threats to w-itn-draw from the league and Frank Murphy said they had no intention of, doing anything of that kind, so the. Fresno folks must wait a while for their franchise. Vernon Mar Cct Jury. But the committee appointed may have some work to do after all. Eddie Maier of the Vernon club reported that District Attorney Woolwine of Los Angeles was not keen to handle the cases of the Vernon players against Babe Borton, nor Borton's case against Bill Essii-k, manager of the Vernon team, and the committee may get busy and try to have a grand Jury in Los Angeles take up the mat ter. It was the grand jury in Chi cago that opened up the festering sore i'n the American league, and a grand jury in this league might do as well. Now is evidently the time to kick every crooked ball player out of the game. Cal Ewing said the grand jury at Oakland Is going to look into every betting game there and it may catch some of the sure-thing baseball thieves in the dragnet. Cal hopes they will and he ia going to give them every assistance in his power. Hard .Winter" Letter en fcHle. Eddie Maier is mighty suspicious right now of a pitcher on the Vernon club, but says he can't get proof enough to Justify him in firing him. Maier favors having a grand jury investigate the charges made by Borton and the members ,of the Ver non club, and Rays he will gladly kick out of baseball any member of the Vernon club against whom evidence can be produced. Feeling as they do. the Salt Lake men will bring up the Rumler case again at the annual meeting of the league. October 25. but they will not get very far. The Rumler case is closed so far as the coast league is concerned. If Rumler wants redress he must seek elsewhere for it. As a matter of fact Bill Rumler was in the hotel lobby of the St. Francis while the meeting was In progress. He did not ask to be heard, nor was he called. His affidavit was on file and also a letter he wrote Babe Bor ton reminding him that it was "to be a long, hard winter" and the direc tors, by a vote of seven to one, de cided to bar him from the coast league for a period of five years. Giant'Vank Series Eliminated. NEW YORK. Sept. 30. Possibility of a post-season series of games be tween the New York Giants and the New York Yanks was eliminated to day upon the arrival of Charles A. Stoneharn. president of he Giants, from Cuba. Mr. Stoneham based his objections on the grounds that peo ple would say the games were played for mercenary reasons; that they NEW FALL NEW FALL NEW FALL x , 1 1 par might affect the attendance at the world series in Brooklyn, and that the games would necessitate keeping the players of both teams together too long: after the close of the season. Sport News and Comment Pasadena, Cal., ha a movement on foot to Inaugurate another football classic in addition to its New Year's east versus wet game. The present plan contemplates an annual football game to be held on Armistice da . November 11. The Ameri can Legion has the consent of the arm j and navy authorities to stage the game, which. U is hoped, will be the forerunner of many more. The champion team of the Pacific fleet and the champion eleven of the western department of te army are to be contenders nth year. With the decisive defeat of the Olympic club of San Francieco by the University of Catitornia on Saturday, the air casties that the clubmen had been building as the team to represent the wet agalnnt the east in the annual Pasadena game went a glimmermg. As a matter of fact, they were the only ones who entertained this extravagant dream, so that there was no rude awakening in any place nave within the walls of the 'Winged O" organization. Never before has there been so much early season interest taken in the games which will be p!ayed between the California universities and those of Washington and Oregon. According to the graduate man agers at both the University of California and Stanford university, the advanre de mand tor seats is such that it already ip a certainty there will not be sufficient accommodation to seat all tho?e who will want to attend the contests. As for the "big game" between California and Stan ford, the call for tickets has been f great that a movement already is on foot at the University of California to start a cam paign for a concrete playing stadium sim ilar to that of the University of W'ash Inpton.
