BT "W. J. PETRAIX.
With the 1910 season practically half
played the Pacific Coast League race
continues to be one of the most ex
citing baseball struggles ever recorded.
for five of the six clubs of the circuit
have a winning average of .500 per
cent or better.
Only one club has fallen down so
far as victories are concerned, and that
Is Sacramento, for all of the other
clubs have a chance for the pennant.
San Francisco and Portland are within
a few points of each other for the lead,
while the Oakland, "Vernon, and Los
Angeles clubs are so close up that scor
ing of one or two consecutive victories
might switch the order of the first flva
clubs.
None of the clubs has brought forth
any phenomenal batting aside from the
remarkable Improvement shown by
"Ping" Bodie, of San Francisco, and
the closeness of the race as well as
the small scores of the games being
played right along Indicate the pos
session of fine pitchers. As a matter of
fact it is the .work of the pitchers
which has kept Portland, Vernon and
Los Angeles In the running, for the
San Francisco and Oakland clubs have
the best batsmen.
Big Leaguers in Making.
Speaking of pitchers it might be well
to make a few selections among the
twlrlers of this league who are destined
for major league company. "Without
fear of contradiction the writer does
not hesitate to class Eugene Krapp as
the best all-around pitcher in the
league. So far as the actual pitching
of the ball is concerned Roy Hitt, of
Vernon, Harry Sutor, of San Francisco,
Moser, of Oakland, and Nagle, of Los
.Angeles, are equally good, but the
Portland pitcher is the greatest fielder
cf all of them.
In this department Krapp easily ex
cels the other stars, and his work in
this line will' earn him a big league
berth to a certainty. Walter Nagle, of
this bunch, is second best in the opinion
of -the writer, and for third place Roy
Hitt appears to have the call, though
Sutor, also a left-hander, is entitled to
consideration. Moser is also a grand
twirler.
Good catchers are scarce In the Paci
fic Coast League this season. Guy
Fisher, of Portland, and Claude Berry,
of Ban Francisco, are the premier re
ceivers of the circuit, while Tommy
Murray, Portland's second catcher, and
Pearce, of Oakland, are meritorious re
ceivers. Los Angeles, with OrendorfT at
work, possesses a sterling catcher, but
"Orrle" is out of the game through" an
Injury sustained some time ago, and
Smith and Waring, two youngsters, are
doing fairly well considering their lack
of experience. San Francisco has a
fine change catcher in Nick . Williams,
while Sacramento Is handicapped by not
having any backstop worth while since
Graham, himself, does not essay to
atch. Drummond Brown, of the Ver
non club, is a fair catcher, but this
year he has been troubled with a sore
arm to such an extent that his work
has been marred considerably by this
handicap. Happy Hogan, despite his
"'anchored lamp," does sonie highly
capable work in this department.
. Three Lead" at First.
la picking the first baseman who
shines most brilliantly In this league,
one has to consider at least three men,
and possibly a fourth. From a fielding
standpoint. Bill Fisher, of Vernon, is in a
class by himself, and because he is shy
on hitting we have to consider Billy
Eapps, of Portland, and Tommy Ten
rant, of San Francisco, as his equals so
far as value to a team is concerned.
Both Rapps and Tennant are hitters
who delight the fans with long drives
at propitious moments, whereas Fisher
is a poor sticker. The fourth man to
be considered is Don Cameron, of Oak
land, who was going at a merry clip
awhile back, but is now In a slump.
Xlllon,. of Los Angeles, was a great
first baseman but seems to be going
back year by year. Danzig is a fair
player, but too awkward to be com
pared with the others.
At second base only three men are to
be considered as premiers. These are
Pearl Casey, 'Of Portland, ' and "Kid"
Mohler, of San Francisco, though the
latter is not the Mohler he was of ld.
while Brashear, of the Vernon club, is
a capable man, but the other keystone
guardians are only fair.
Two shortstops shine most brilliantly
in the Pacific Coast League, and they
are Ivan Olson, of Portland, and Harry
McArdle, of San Francisco, the two
leading clubs again sharing honors in
the infield. Olson is the better hitter
and base runner of the two, but he has
nothing on McArdle as a fielder, for
both are stars in that line. Wares, of
Oakland, and Shlnn. of Sacramento, are
deserving of mention.
Among the guardians of the difficult
corner there are several good men,
though Hetllng, of Portland, and Bur
rell. of Vernon, appear to the writer to
b the best of the six. Both are great
players at fielding buntsffjand each pos
sesses an accurate wing. Roth, of Los
Angeles, is a good man for a youngster,
and Happy Bill Hogan, of Oakland, who
is an all-around player, is a most valu
able asset to a club. Darringer, of
Sacramento, and Shaw, of ' San Fran
cisco, are fair. .
From the" 18 or more outfielders in
the Pacifie Coast League it is not a
hard task to select the best men, for
outer gardeners are most valuable for
tbeir hitting propensities, and very few
of them in this league are what can be
termed hitters. "Ping" Bodie, of San
Francisco, and "Jeff" Perry, of Sacra
mento, are the most reliable batsmen
among the outfielders. Jesse Stov.ill, of
Vernon, is a good hitter in addition to
being one of the surest men on a fly
bail in the league. Martinke is the
surest hitter among the Portland out
fielders, and is also one of the best in
the league.
From the comparisons, Portland
shines in pitching and Infield work, but
is shy in the outfield and hitting ability.
Not a 30O Hitter in X. W. League.
SEATTLE, Wash., .Jury 9. Pitchers

CHURCH LEAGUE RACES CLOSE
Unbeaten Teams Hold First Places
In Both Divisions.
By a strong effort the Trinity Episcopal
Church team was forced out of second
place in the "West Side division of the
Young Men's Christian Association Fed
erated Men's Baseball League by the
strong Calvary Presbyterian Church nine.
The White Temple team also made a
large advance toward the top of the list
last week and are now at the .500 mark,
after being in the cellar a short time ago.
The games are becoming more closely
contested and as a consequence more
interest is being shown by the boys and
the games are well attended.
The teams of the Kast Side division are
also having a contest for supremacy. The
race for first place is nip and tuck be
tween Sunnyside 23 and Rodney avenue,
with- the Sunnyside aggregation still un
beaten. The standings of the teams

LAST WEEK'S SERIES.
Plans Laid to Limit Bennet
Roche Go to Ten Rounds.
CHIEF COX DEFINES STAND
Responsible Clnb Must Stand Spon
sor for Match Contest Slay Be
Staged July 20 by Ore
gon. Athletic Club.
Jockey Bennett and Johnny Roche,
the two bantamweight boxers who were
to have come together in a 20-round
bout on the night of July 4, may yet
be seen in action here in a 10-round ex
hibition in the week of the grand lodge
meeting of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians. While the authorities refuse to stand
for exhibitions of 20 rounds duration,
they admit that they have no objection
to a 10-round bout, providing the box
ers appear before a responsible club.
Replying to a query as to how he stood
upon the question of boxing. Chief of
Police Cox said yesterday:
"Unless some reputable organization
is behind these exhibitions, they will
not be permitted, but if any recognizd
club stands sponsor for an exhibition
of 10 rounds or less, and it appears to
be all right in other ways, I shall do
nothing to hinder, but in no case will I
stand for matches of more than 10
rounds. My idea is to discourage the
hangers-on, who become numerous
where prizefighting Is allowed 'ham-and-egg"
scrappers, who are a detri
ment to any community. We want no
'fight syndicate' in Portland."
As the Oregon A.thletic Club, under
whose auspices Bennett and Roche
agreed to box, has been in the boxing
field for several months, it is not be
lieved that the authorities will object to
the staging of this bout about July 20.
Both Bennett and Roche are in town,
and each expresses himself as willing
to remain here and appear In the short
er route in the week mentioned. Ben
nett has taken up his residence in Port
land, and has secured employment at J
his trade of candymaker, and he says
that If he meets Roche here it will be
his last appearance in the ring, as he is
tiring of the game.

"Gee. but it's great to be back in
3odts country!" were the first words
Sam Dolan, the All-Western and All
American football star, who played four
years at Notre Dame University, Indi
ana, uttered as he stepped from the
train, bound from college for his home
at Albany, Or., where he will probably
locate in business.
"Rosy" Dolan was the best tackle
in the Middle West by unanimous vote
of all the critics, and the best in Amer
ica by some. He has the greatest rec
ord of any player that ever donned a
football suit at Notre Dame. That rec
ord is of playing four years of foot
ball without missing a moment of play.
It was not necessary to call time for
"Rosy" in any game during the full
four years that he put in for his alma
mater.
Dolan Is looked upon at Notre Dame
as a hero. In the game with Marquette
last year he suffered a broken collar
bone and a badly sprained shoulder,
but nevertheless he still continued in
the game.
Sam Dolan, better known as "Fuzzy,"
was a member of the All-Northwest
football team of 1905. A.t that time he
played guard on the championship Ore
gon Agricultural College eleven. Be
fore that he obtained an enviable rec
ord on the fotball field at Albany Col
lege. The Notre Dame team of last year
defeated Coaqh "Hurry-Up" Yotfs Uni
versity of Michigan team bi- the score
of 11 to 3. It also won the Middle Vest
ern championship on the foctball field.
Notre Dame also won the baseball
championship of the Middle Western
conference.
In track the Notre Dame tam won
the Western championship at the big
meet held in Chicago. Stanford Uni
versity, California, was second.
John Philbrook, formerly of Whit
man College, now of Notre Dcme, was
the individual star in the big Western
track and field meet. He made a total
of 11 points and was high man. Phil
brook took first in the shotput and
discus and third in the high jump.
Philbrook Is a big fellow, over 6 feet
tall, and weighs about 220. He also
ran in the hurdles. At Notre Dame
he is considered a rival of Martin
Sheridan as all-around champion of the
world.
That the Western . athletes are the
equal if not the superior of Eastern
athletes was evidenced at Notre Dame
last year, as four Western boys played
on the Notre Dame eleven and all made
good. These were Dolan, Philbrook,
Ralph Dimick and W. Mathews. Dim
ick formerly played at Pacific Univer
sit.y, and later at Whitman College.
Mathews was a former member of the
University of Washington team. Dan
Pullen, .also a Western boy, who played
at West Point, has been retained at
that institution to 'coach football this
FalU
Sam Dolan backed up the line on de
fense last year at Notre Dame and was
considered the best and hardest tack
ier in the Middle West. The Dome,
the school year book, has the following
to say of "Rosy's" playing:
"Dolan's work at tackle and guard
gave the critics an excuse for putting
his name on the All-Western and All
Amerlcan teams. He was the most
versatile lineman In the West. Hfr
charged like a catapult, low, hard and
fast, spilling the player usually before
he hit the line, and was able to make
tackles all over the field. He was a
fiery player full of fight and determina
tion, and his stamina remarkable. All
throughout the Marquette game he
played with a broken shoulder. This
: . s s; ..
"Kosiy" Dolan, IMotre Dame Guard
Who Has Come to Portland and
"Will Play With the Multnomah
Team.
feat is unparalleled in Western foot
ball history. Dolan never had time
taken out for him once during his four
years of football, playing every minute
in every game. Four years of football,
into every scrimmage and every game,
and never giving up for an Instant, is
his record."
"Rosy" graduated from Notre Dame
last June with honors in the civil en
gineering department. Dolan was class
president and class orator. He will
'
probably be a member of the faculty of
the Oregon Agricultural College in the
engineering department, and will make
Corvallis his home. Dolan will play
for the Multnomah Amateur lAthletic
Club this Fall in its big games of the
year, and will be a big factor in the
linesman's department. Dolan is about
S feet, 10 inches tall and weighs over
200 pounds in his football armor.
That the Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic Club will have formidable football
aggregation this Fall is assured by the
fact that it will have such stars as Do
lan. Sam Stow, the former University of
California lineman; Wolfe, of O. A. C;
Dudley Clarke, of the University of Or
egon; Cherry, formerly of Washington
State College: Stott, Moores (captain);
Latourette. Opie Smith, George Carlson.
Ted Ludlam and other players well
known to Portland football devotees.
Gordon C. Moores, formerly of the
University of Oregon, where he starred
on football and track, is-.captain of the
football team for the ensuing year at
Multnomah. Jack Latourette, also of
the University of Oregon, is managing
the winged "M" squad. Getting ready
for the football season, the Multnomah
Club is having its- large football field
practically remade in order to make t
fast to conform' with the new garfie,
which requires a fast field. The foot
ball season at the Multnomah Club will
legln about the middle of September,
when the players' will assemble for
practice work and the active season
will commence in October.

MILITIA WARRANTS IN TEST
Banks or State to Lose on Hamilton
Drafts Is Issue.
OLYMPIA, "Wash., July 9. The suit of
the Olympia National Bank to man
damus the state authorities to issue a
warrant authorized by former. Adjutant
General Ortis Hamilton in his peculations
of the military fund, has been continued
under a stipulation between the attorney
for the bank and the Attorney-General's
office to enable the petitioners to amend
their application.
The suit, based upon a warrant held
by the hank, it was later discovered did
not cover all of the features of the case
that were sought to be adjudicated, and
the attorneys are now going through the
Tecorda to -find a voucher upon which a
warrant was not issued because of the
discovery of the former Adjutant-General's
defalcations, in order to make a
complete test case. The chief question
at issue is whether the state has the
right to stop the issuance of a warrant
or to refuse to pay a warrant which
had been issued under a fraudulent
voucher, when the voucher or warrant
has passed Into the hands of an inno
cent purchaser.
It has been the custom in the past to
secure money on the vouchers through the
local banks, and it was in this manner
that Hamilton obtained the cash on
vouchers of which the state is now seek
ing to avoid payment. The state has al
ready paid in round numbers about
27.000 on warrants on Hamilton's illegal
vouchers and about $10,000 remains un
paid and will be directly affected by the
test suit of the Olympia National Bank.
