The Oaks kept their record .clean against Portland today by tying tiie morning; game, 1-1, in 12 Innings at Oakland and -winning on this ide of the bay in the afternoon, 4-3. Of the six games played the Oaks won five and tied one quite a respectable record. Kallio and Kremer hooked up in 'ho morning and they both pitched championship ball. The game was called off after the 12th inning be cause the time limit had expired. The pitchers had all the better of the batsmen and they were, both going strong at the finish. In the afternoon the Oaks assaulted Brooks for a brace of runs in the first inning and they were never headed. Hack Miller and Jack Knight deliv ered the hits that did the damage. Johnson replaced .Brooks after the second and he was nicked for two runs, the two innings he pitched. Pol eon finished the affair. Buzz Arlett was hit freely, but in the pinches he showed his class and his support stood up well. Portland threatened with a batting rally in the eighth, but after getting one run over, Ginglardi butted in with a great pickup and started a double play. Portland was easily squelched in the ninth. Biff Schaller drove the ball over the right field wall in the sixth and came up with two men on bases in the eighth. Another home run would have done some damage there, but Biff popped out to Knight while try ing to bunt his mates along a base. McCredie used every man he had in uniform except himself, but could not get anywhere. Portland plays Vernon at Los An geles this week, which makes pretty eoft picking for the Tigers. .First game: Portland 1 Oakland B R H O Al 15 R H O SlKl!n.2 1 -0 Lane. 2. . 5 1 Wiste'1.3 S 0 2 4 Wilie.r.. 4 n 4 I) 3 0 4 0 n 0 Blue.l. .

HOMER BRINGS1 IN FOUR Circuit Clout With Bases Full Also Innovation in World's Series That Helps Beat Robins. CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 10. In a baseball . game erupting sensational, unique and thrilling plays far beyond CLMi PICTURE OF 1920 WORLD SERIES GAME PUBLISHED IN PORTLAND. the wildest dreams of an imaginative fiction or scenario writer, the Cleve land Americans defeated the Brook lyn Nationals, 8 to 1, the ffith contest ol the world s series here this after noon. An unassisted triple plav bv W llham Wambsganss, a native-born son of Cleveland, and home runs by Elmer Smith and Jim Bagby. were a trio of individual feats which formed llafihlight photographs on the brains of the fans which no future diamond battle can erase. The victory broke the existing tie between the pennant winners of the two major leagues, and tonignt Cleveland is confident that the first American league pennant ever won by this citv will be overshadowed by the great glory of the world's series banner to be flung to the breeze next spring. the canner of the piay may be gathered from the fact that two world's records were established dur ing the hour and 49 minutes in which the tribe of Speaker tore great hand fuls of plumage from the stunned and helpless Robins. Never before in the history of the world's series had a triple play been made by one player. A home run with the bases full is also an innovation in the modern his tory of the super-series, yet both these records were made today, with a second .home run, four double plays and a score of other fielding and bat ting features which would have been acclaimed as thrilling during the course of a normal world's series con flict. Triple Play Uncanny. There was something unoannlly local about Wambsganss' triple play. The Indians' second baseman was born in Cleveland in 1894 and afte learning the fundamentals of the na tional game at Concordia college, en tered the professional baseball ranks. After a comparatively short period of minor league experience with the Ce dar Rapids club of the Central asso ciation, he came to the local team in 1914 and has since been a fixture with the Indians. That a native-horn ball player of Cleveland should have made such an unusual play is a coincidence, but that a previous similar play should have been made In the same park 11 years ago savors of something beyond coincidence. But 11 times In the records of the American pastime has an unassisted triple play been accomplished. Of these feats but two were previously scored in the major leagues. Play Made In 101. It was Neal Ball of the Cleveland club of 1909 who swept three oppos ing players out on a similar handling of the ba. Lunng the game between the Boston Red Sox and the Indians, played on July 19, Stahl was on first and Wagner on second with McCon nell at bat when Ball accomplished the play. Today the stage setting was much fhe same. Both Kilduff and Miller had singled to center in turn at the beginning of the fifth and were perched on second and first respec tively, when Pitcher Mitchell came to bat. The Brooklyn hurler, who had previously relieved Grimes in the box drove a hot liner high and to the left of second. Wambsganss leaped into the air and came down with the ball clutched in the gloved hand. For the fraction of a second he appeared to hesitate and it looked as though the play would take the usual -course of a force-out. Then Wambsganss realized the golden fielding oppor tunity that confronted him and before the startled spectators could grasp the play, he had sprinted to second and stepping on the. bag eliminated Kilduff, who was well on his way to third. Miller was tearing down to the midway sack under the belief that the hit was a safe one and it was a comparatively easy matter for Wambsganss to run up the base line and. touching the runner, completed the first triple play ever made by one player in a world's series. Duel Cleaned by Clont. Cleveland's offensive opened with another play which would have, under any other circumstances, stood out as a feature. With the bases loaded with Indians ivho had singled in succession off the slants of Grimes, Right Fielder Elmer Smith of Milan. Ohio, stepped to. the plate and, catching one of the Brooklyn twlrler's fast -eb.ar.p-break.- ing spitballs on the very end of his bat, lifted the sphere up and over the towering screen which tops the right field fence, clearing the bases and breaking the hearts of the opposing players with a four-run lead, which the Robins never even threatened to overcome. The ball was so hard hit that it not only cleared the screen, but crashed into the front of a house across the street from the ball park, the roof of which was crowded. In the fourth session Pitcher Jim Bagby hit another homer. .Doc Johnston opened the Inning by bouncing a single off Grimes' shins to left field and took second on a passed ball. Sewell put him on third with an infield out and then Grimes, fearing the heavy bat of Catcher O'Neill, purposely walked the latter to first with the idea of getting Bag by The Brooklyn pitcher's strategy was badly mussed up by his rival in the box, for Bagby picked out a de livery which particularly pleased hi-rn and lifted it into the right field stand, the ball rolling far under the seats, while all three trotted across the home plate. - This hit furnished another strange precedent in connection with world series baseball, for never have the first seven runs of a game of this class been scored by home-run hits. In the cascade of long hits and feature plays, many other incidents M - v-- y- v- ' - - ' ?n- P ' A v - - - V , s - -k fx?

Other photo la recent one of Trln Speai&er, fighting manager and player of Cleveland. and efforts were lost sight of which might have brought applause during a less sensational game. Catcher O'Neill had two such feats to his credit when, in the first inning, he threw his body full length back of the plate and blocked a wild pitch by Bagby which, had it passed, would have permitted Olson to score. Wheat's following fly to left killed Brooklyn's chances to score in that inning. Again in the second O'Neill took Jamieson's perfect throw from deep left field and checked Konetchy's rush to score from third, where his triple had placed him. Contest la Peculiar. The contest was peculiar in other respects for while Brooklyn scored 13 hits off Bagby to the 12 accumu lated by the Indians, the Robins were unable to score their solitary run until the final inning and then only due to the antics of a ball hit by Konetchy. Wheat opened the final session with a single along the first base line, just out of the reach of Johnston. Myers slapped another one into cen ter and then Konetchy punched the ball with what appeared to be an unusual amount of cut. The ball hopped and zigzagged toward John ston in such a manner that the latter could not get full in front of it- Fi nally the ball made an effort to pass the Indian first baseman, which would have done credit to an insane squirrel. Johnston threw up his hand and the ball struck his wrist and, running up his arm, leaped from his shoulder into right field and Wheat came home with the run which saved Brooklyn from a shutout.

M'CARTHY HAS EYES ON JACK BRM Victory Over Thorp May Be Stepping Stone to Match. DAVIS IS NEXT ON LIST Journey From Portland to Seattle Will Be Next Advance Be fore Invasion of East. BT DICK SHARP. If Johnny McCarthy defeats Har vey Thorp at the Milwaukie arena 5SL Photo by Underwood & Underwood. Wednesday night and then Journeys north to Seattle and annexes a de cision over Travie Lavis, Sol Levin son, the famous glove maker of San Francisco, who looks after McCar thy's business, will close shop as far as he is concerned frir several months and take Johnny east, the objective being a match with Jack Britton, welterweight champion of the world. Regardless of what Thorp has shown here or what he will show, the fact stands that on various and sun dry occasions he has stepped out and either defeated or battled to a stand still the best lightweights and wel terweights in the world, and not back in 1912, either. The eastern boxers are either greatly overrated or the Pacific coast mixers are greatly un derrated, taking the matches between boys from both parts of the country that have been fought here as a criterion. The writer Is forced to come to the latter conclusion, if any at all. Of course, the real Sop-notchers, such as champions ,or actual rtinnersup for the "title,- stand far and above the boxers in their class in every part or- the country. It does not, how ever, take long to enumerate these men. The class of the rest will per haps not vary to any great exteit any more than there are more good base ball or football players developed in one side of the United StateB than the other. The annual intersectional games at Pasadena dispelled any illu sions as to that. There is more football played In the east and a, great deal more box ing, thus there is a chance of more good men being developed, but that does not necessarily make it that the good men in the east are any better than the best in the west. Thorp and McCarthy will wind up their training period at the Olympic gymnasium this afternoon. Many of the followers of the game have it set in their minds that Mc Carthy will trim Thorp, but of course Harvey and his manager, Chick John son, have other ideas on the subject. The seml-wlndup between Muff Bronson and, Eddie Shannon and trie two six-round events bringing to gether Dick Morris and Johnny Fiske and Jack Berry and Frankie Crites should all be real battles. It is a foregone conclusion that the Shannon-Bronson scrap can hardly miss as a donnybrook, while the other four boxers on the card are all mixers. Dick Morris will make his debut in his match against Fiske. Morris has been taking a lacing daily from Har vey Thorp and still keeps coming for more. Dick is as wide open as Ha vana, but his aggressive tactics are liable to wear down a good man If he can keep up the pace he sets. This youngster. Jack Berry, who first boxed at the old Rose City club under the name of Red Farrell, looks to be a comer if taken along right. He has an awkward style of boxing and, carries a triphammer punch, in a package a package a package his right hand. Critea should get plenty of argument.
