BY W. J. PETRAIX.
Despite the fact that It was necessary
to use a trio of umpires In yesterday's
game, because J. Cal Ewing paid no
attention to Umpire i McGreevy's re
quest for help, the contest, while slow
end uninteresting, was fairly well
played. As usual with Browning in the
box. the Reals won, though not by the
tthutout route, for Portland scored three
runs to the quartet registered by the
visitors.
Before the same commenced Umpire
McGreevy annuainced that he was feel
ing: ill and did not believe that he could
officiate. Mohler and McCredie per
ruaded him to try. but after four in
nings he was forced to give up, and
Eii Kennedy, of Portland, nnd "Sliv
ers" Henley, of the Seals, hooked up as
Joint officials.
Owing to a sudden switching of the
Peals' batting order in the first inning,
when two were on bases and two down,
IManager McCredie has protested the
frame. According to the rules each
captain must furnish the umpire with
. the batting order of his team, and this
batting order cannot be changed after
the game starts unless a player is in
capacitated or taken out of the game.
Jack Oraney, a southpaw, was pitch
ing for Portland, and with two out and
' Melehoir.- a left-handed batter, up, ac
; cording to the announced lineup, Moh
1 ler switched and sent in Nick Will-
tarns, a right-handed batter. Williams
! flew out. ending the inning, but the
! difference in the batting array may
have affected the rest of the game,
jsind on this account McCredie has pro
tested the contest.
! Errors by Portland and clean hit
jtlng gave the Seals four runs, distrib
uted through the third, fourth and fifth
(innings. Dick Breen scored all three
t ft Portland's runs, crossing the regls
(ter In the fourth, sixth and eighth.
JRreen walked once, hit safely another
time, and Zolder's error was respon
sible for his third life. McCredie's sin
' (tie scored Pick the first time, and after
( that Johnson brought him home both
t times, once with a single and the next
time with a sacriflc fly to Williams.
! Some of the decisions of Kennedy and
tenley were ludicrous, but as these
I roke about even the umpiring did not
t affect the result, for Portland seems
tinable to beat Browning.
Howard Ouyn. who succeeded Graney
in the hilltop, gave a rattling' good
exhibition of pitching. and had he
started the. game Portland might have
had a look-in. However, the game is
protested, and even though there Is not
a chance In a thousand of Ewing find
ing In favor of McCredie. we've had
'the satisfaction of putting in a kick.
The official score follows:

EWIXti SHOULD BE OUSTED
Owner or Ball Club Not Proper
Man Tor League President.
PORTLAND, Or., June 19. (To the
Sporting Editor of The Oregonian.) The
present situation in the official manage
ment of the Pacific Coast league ought
not to be, continued. Mr. EJwing, presi
dent of the league, and part owner of the
Seals, may bo the soul of honor, but the
fact that he la president of the- league
and also part owner of the Seals either
consciously or unconsciously affects the
Judgment of the umpires when umpiring
games in which the Seals are interested.
The umpires may not know that they
are affected by "knowledge of the condi
tions, but it could not well be otherwise.
Every baseball player knows that an
umpire may give the "edge" to one
team or the other on balls and strikes or
in many other ways, and that this "edge"
means the game in the majority of in
stances. The umpire may put the pitcher
"up in the air"' by refusing to give him
the close ones or the corners.
I have followed the game a good many
years and have played with and against
some of the players in the Coast League
In days gone by, and I have witnessed
nearly every Coast League game at Port
land this year. I have followed the pres
ent series with unusual interest, and I
cannot remember when I have seen so
many close playsi all go to the visiting
team. McCredie. of course, did not help
any by kicking, but the second strike
called on Olson Thursday was so wide
of the plate that a blind umpire ought to
have seen it. No one will fullj- eTijoy the
sport in the Coast League until every
shadow of self-interest is removed, and
Mr. Ewing ought to be the first to see it

FIELDER JONES
WINS FDR CHARITY
Famous White Sox Man Helps
Doctors and Lawyers to
Wallop Bankers.
FLOWER MISSION BENEFITS
Society Drops Many Quarters Into
Box Office and Sends flowers to
ex-Chicago Player When He
Makes Two of Four Scores.
High finance, therapeutics and law
were forgotten yesterday afternoon,
when the bankers played a baseball
game with a team made up of doctor
and lawyers. It was all for charity
and the Flower Mission Day Nursery
was the institution to benefit. Many
quarters were donated by the ' large
crowd that saw the game and the nur
sery profited to the extent of several
hundred dollars.
Fielder Jones was the big attaractlon
of the afternoon, for the famous ex
manager and leader of the. White Sox
of Chicago was seen in uniform for the
first time since he left the game. Jones
played center field for the lawyers and
doctors and scored two of the four runs
made by his side, for the bankers, not
being able to handle the stick as well
as the pen, were shut out of everything
but big zero marks. They had the
worst of the argument all the way, for
only two men reached second base and
one of these on a forced walk. Their
fielding was also poor.
Players- Given Flowers. '
When the teams got in action a few
of the favorite batters were the recipi
ents from admiring friends of huge
bouquets of roses. These were deliv
ered to them as they wound up for a
heavy grandstand swat at the ball.'
Fielder Jones was the star matinee idol
of the afternoon and he received his
flowers with a courtly bow which in
cluded the entire grandstand, executed
in proper stage fashion. Turning his
attention to the pitcher, he then soaked
the ball a heavy clout that drove it out
to center field for a single.
Amid great applause Fielder Jones
soon after made the first score for the
Lawyers and Doctors, reaching the plate
through a hit to center field from the
stick of Dr. Stearns.
With one to nothing up to the sixth
inning it was evident that something
had to pop soon and the expected oc
curred. Lawyers S'.ott and Murphy both
reached .first base on Young's, errors,
and Fielder Jones, who was next up, -was
given free transportation to the ' first
sack for reasons apparent, filling the
bases. Slnnott came to bat. tightened up
his muscles and gave a little legal advice
on hitting the ball by poking a two-bagger
out to left field which emptied the bases
and scored three runs.

ing around the pillows in that inning
would make one believe some elusive
client or patient were about to eccape
from town without paying his bill. As
for the bankers, the pen with them is
mightier than the bat and stacks of coin
can be handled more easily perhaps than
the elusive spheroid. The game was In
teresting, however, and good headwcrf-k
was used. The fact that all the players
are well-known, gave the game an In
terest which would - have been absent
otherwise.

GAIN we were doubly stung, for the
Colts got a walloping at Skyattle.
We'll have the satisfaction soon of
getting to that Seattle team on our own
grounds, and homers will be scarce.
'
It seems that whenever Jack Graney
starts out to do some good pitching
nowadays his support takes a day off.
'
Cal Ewing must have learned to he a
league president from reading it out of
a book.
Umpire McGreevy wrote Cal Ewing
over ten days ago to send him an as
sistant from among the four umpires
now working down south, but Cal does
not care what happens to games in
Portland.
-
Walter McCredie has protested yester
day's game. He might as well throw
rocks at the moon, for Ewing won't
consider it a moment his dear Seals
were the offenders.
With Umpires Toman. McCarthy, At
kinson and Van Haltren working out in
the south, it seems strange that a
league president would ignore such an
important series as- the Portland-San
Francisco games when requested to
delegate an extra umpire.
However, it is not altogether. Improb
able . that Ewing believed two men
would see things better than one, and
of course it would not do for the Seals
to get only an even break.
Howard Guyrr ought to have been
given more of a chance to show his abil
ity during the present series. He is a
first-class pitcher, and one or the other
of the Portland teams will find it out
before the season is over.
. -
Gus Fisher pegged Roily Zeider out
on attempted steals twice yesterday,
and it was unfortunate that he lost his
range-finder on Bodie. It was Ryan's
overanxiety. however. that allowed
that obstreperous individual to score.
- -
Speas made several fine catches in the
outer garden yesterday, and had his
toss to Fisher not bounded away from
the catcher. San Francisco would have
been one run shy of that quartet.
Buddy Ryan played an aggressive
game yesterday, and if all the players
had worked as hard as he, the tale
might have been different. Ryan's play
ing looked like ready money. Here's
hoping he keeps It up.
Bobby Groom's wildness developed
again yesterday and this lost him his
game against New York. Bobby al
lowed only six hits, while Washington
garnered 11.

SEATTLE. Wash., June 19. (Special.)
Portland's ceaseless Colts were smoth
ered today under an avalance of safe
swats. Lee Samuels, who had beaten Se
attle early In the week, was trotted out
again and he lobbed along fine till the
eighth, when lie was bombarded for six
hits, three' of them home runs. Score,
Seattle 9; Portland 2.
It was a good game at that and a fine
fight till the - eighth. Freddie Miller,
southpaw, whiffed 13 of the visitors and
held them to six hits, three of them by
Murray, who led both teams at the bat.
with two doubles and a single in three
times up.
There was no score till the fourth. The
Colts were, dangerous in the third, when,
after Fournier had struck out. Murray
doubled to" left. Samuels drove a fly to
short left, which looked safe. ' Capron,
however, got 1t close to the ground fter
a beautiful sprint and doubled Murray
off second. In the fourth, after Cooney
had gone at first, Bassey walked and took
second on Adams' hit to eenter. He and
Adams' pelted off a double steal and he
scored when Custer let Garry's third
strike get away from him. Staton ad
vanced Garry with a hit to the -pitcher,
which . Miller handled slowly. Then
Gough forced Adams out at the plate
with a grounder , to third which Atkin
handled prettily.
Right here Garry pulled off Portland's
prettiest play of the game, sfealing home
cleanly while Miller was arranging to
feed a slow one to Fournier. After that
Miller timed his movements to faster
music Seattle grabbed one in their half
of the fourth through a single by Ben
nett, doubje by Frisk and fielder's choice
by Capron who went out at first.
Portland's lead still looked good till the
last of the sixth when three hits, a base
on balls, a sacrifice and an error gave
two runs. Portland was dangerous again
in the last half of the eighth when Mur-
I ray worked around as far as third after
leading off with a double. Notwithstand
ing two bases on balls, a passed ball and
a sacrifice hit. Portland failed to score.
Murray was caught at the plate In the
second of Atkin's beautiful stops and re
lays to catcher.
In Seattle's half the big thing was
pulled off. The ball came up to the batter
looking as large as a football. Lynch.
rnsK ana .Ma gee drove it out of the lot.
fhe first two on very long nies. A base
on balls. Miller's single and Atkin's
j double, a wild pitch and Bennett's fourth
single made up the other three. Goush
had a bad day of it at second, and Cooney
benched him. put Adams back on second

CLUBHOUSE WILL BE ERECTED
31otorboat Enthusiasts Have Out
grown Present Quarters.
- Tjiat the members of the Willamette
Motorboat Club are to have a new
clubhouse is the announcement made
by the officers of the club. Just what
the dimensions and cost of the new
structure shall be has not been decided,
but the old house has been outgrown
by the increasing membership. The
membership has increased rapidly re
cently, the new boats which have been
built in the last few weeks resulting
in a large addition to the already long
list of names.
Races will be held on July 5 between
the speed craft. The list of entries is
to be the same as on Decoration day.
Wolff's new boat, the Wolff II. has
been chosen to represent the Willam
ette Motorboat Club in the big rcgratla
to be held at the A-Y-P Exposition.
Wolff's boat will not enter the July
races here on account of its absence
from the city at that time, but will
be in evidence In later races which the
club has scheduled. One of the most
important of these Is the race to be
held on Labor day. This event has
been made an annual affair, and no far
has been the most successful of eali
season.

UMPIRES HOODOO PORTLAND
Out Holder Shows Signs of Needed
Changes If Seals Win Pennant,
Ewing Will Rob Team
of Much Credit. '
BY W. J. PETRAIX.
With this afternoon's game the second
home stand of McCredie's Pacific Coast
League team will come to an end and
commencing tomorrow afternoon. Mondav
at the usual hour. the Portland arid
Vancouver teams, of the Northwestern
League will commence the second home
engagement of Casey's team.
The three weeks with McCredie have
produced some good baseball, some bad
baseball and not a little indlfTerent base
ball. The good games have been a credit
to the tall manager, but the bad ones
would shame any bush, league. During
the Vernon series Portland played fine
ball all week until the Sunday game
when the Coasters interjected some erratic
work. Out of that series the home team
took three and loet two.
The Sacramento series was a cleanup
with the exception of that great 18-innlng
tie game, though in two of these games
the Portland team simply outlucked the
men working for Graham. The San Fran
cisco series has been full of excitement
and plenty of bad playing, wjth Just
enough good feats thrown In to give the
fans an idea that the leagu possesses
class after all.
Umpires Buffalo Portland.
San Francisco is not-represented by a
better team than is Portland, but the.
Portland players seemingly are buffaloed
at the luck in the shape of umpires' deci
sions which breaks for the Seals. In ths
first four games the past week San Fran
cisco profited three to one on the close
decisions, and that is but a conservative,
estimate.
Mr. McGreevy. the coast league official
wno has been here the past week. Is a
clean, conscientious official who tries to
call each decision as he sees it. He has.
not intentionally favored the San Fran
cisco club, yet several of his decisions
have benefited that team considerably.
It would seem that luck plays a great
part in the game, for the umpire can
make bad ones all day against San Fran
cisco and nothing comes of It, but let
a close one be registered against Port
land and the balloon goes up.
Umpiring is by no means a snap, and
good umpires are as scarce as hen's teeth
yet these few good umpires make errors
just the same as do the Hal Chases, Hans
Watrners. Vnn t.dM.c 3 m.. , . , .
-:: - J y k.uoos.
v hile McGreevy's mistakes have not been
made intentionally, for the writer believes
this umDlre Is frvinc tn rtn. hi. k .,,,
there Is the fact that the San Francisco
uwnea ana controlled by the presi
dent of the league, and is managed by
the secretary of the league, so right or
.. . lutmcoj b joo s an irksome one
simply be causa the fans know this and
do not hesitate to make capital out of it.
Portland Opposes Ewing.
Portland has been on record for several
months as being opposed to Ewing as
president of the league. He is making a
mistake by retaining the position, if for
no other reason than the benefit to his
own club.
For instance: Suppose San Francisco
should win the pennant, and it is a
srood ennufrl, ! 1 1 1. .-. 1 . .-. . .
o-- ,.vo a.11 excellent
chance of so doing. That club would not
jc given nair tne credit due it simply
because of its connection with the exec
utive end of the league.
Mr. Ewing sits in his sanctuary down
San Francisco way. and in his holier
than thou attitude simply sends out
denials of the reports that the Seals are
iiii.ruuiiaii.v lavorert djt tne umps.
Ewing says the reports are all bosh
Mr.
and
says oan f rancisco has never won a
pennant, and points to that as his base
of argument.
Quite true. San Francisco has never
won a pennant, but that is explained by
the fact that San Francisco has nevci
before had as good a baseball team as
is on the field this season. Yes, Mr.
Ewing, if your team wins the pennant
there will be little glory in it for the
players. Still the end of the race is a
long way off and here In Portland we
have not given up the idea that
McCredie will hoist a flag himself.
Speaking of Portland's chances reminds
us that Mac will require one or two
changes to accomplish the pennant, and
these changes will be made soon,
for McCredie has lines out for three or
four good men whom he intends to util
ize on both his clubs.
The most glaring weakness on the
Pacific Coast League team Is in the out
field. Not a man In that section of the
lineup is playing the game as it should
be played all the time with the possible
exception of Manager McCredie himself.
Ryan plays in-and-out ball. He has
plenty of ability, buf loses his self-control
too easily. As an outfielder he is
as good as any in the business, and If
he would only worn at it all the time,
he would be worth while.
Speas does not seem t be able
approach the style of player he
tft
was
lumen as Deing. This youngster must
surely be able to play better than ha
has thus far shown, or the Cleveland
Club would not have thought, enough ol
him to draft him. Since joining the Port
land team he has done little or nothing
with the utick. and his batting was said
to be his strong suit. He is a fast man
nn his feet, but so far has not put this
to much use. He may strike his gait,
but he may also be a long time doing so!
Kennedy Utility Man.
Now comes Ed Kennedy. The big
fellow was signed to play first base but
after trying Ort at that position
McCredie found he had a more active
man than was Kennedy, and Ed was
swit.-hed to the outfield. Since beins
stationed in the veldt Kennedy has been
hitting in a most sntisfactorv manner as
far as driving the bail out is concerned
Ordinarily he is a good bunter and hus
tles, the intioMers to get him on account
of his speed on tne paths, but when the
squeeze play is called, he is helpless.
Kennedy, however, should be retained
as utility man. for he is a player who can
fill in nicely any niche that is empty.
McCredie's infield is not in need ol
repairs. Casey is probably a more accu
rate fielder than Breen, and probably
understands the inner workings of the
game better; but Breen Is a good hitter,
fast base runner, and in every way fit
ted to play the position he now adorns.
It would be a great mistake for McCredie
to take Casey away from the other club
after he has worked so hard to get it
going.
Some changes can be expected soon,
and it may be that the tall manager will
startle the natives when he springs the
news.
