BT HARRT B. SMITH.
SAX FRANCISCO. June . (Special.)
The Inconsistency of baseball was
never more thoroughly shown than by
the antics of the Cosst League teams
this season. Oakland, for Instance,
walloped San Francisco to a fare-you
well and then last week took the sho
end with Vernon. San Francisco, after
the Oskland drubbing, took the series
from the Portland Beavers and so It
goes. Nobody teems . to be able to ex
plain the stats of affairs, but it is
certainly keeping- four of the clubs
well In the race.
Ulllon Is handicapped by the lack
of good pitchers. Sacramento seem
to be In a rut, but outside of these two
clubs, apparently destined to fight it
out for the cellar championship, the
other clubs are going in fairly good
shape.
Danny Long's pitchers are a puzsle.
Ton can't tell when they are going
good or bad. Browning will pitch-a
great game and the next time out he
will slump. Melkle, who won his Tues
day morning game from the Angels, Is
promising, snd Csrl Zamlock, the San
Francisco High School boy. is good ma
terlal. He didn't win In his first start
In a San Francisco uniform, but that
was not his fault but the work of the
men at his back. He shows exception
al strength as a fielding pitcher snd It
cool-hesded under fire. He needs de
veloping, of course, but Long Is a good
man to take new material In band and
Zamlock looks to have the goods.
Abies Shows Class.
Tha Oaks are also having their ex
perlences in trying to land new men
and good ones. After their first slump,
there was a hurry-up call sent forth to
get new pitchers and the like. They
landed a lot of men, but of the whole
lot. Abies, a mighty big chap, is the
only one who bas shown any class.
John Plater Is only fair, and Gregory
nothing promising. Zacher, the out
fielder. Is the goods, and the Oaks made
a great haul when they got him.
Big Jim WJggs, on whom waivers
ware asked, has been turned loose. He
hat been given his unconditional re
lease by the Oaklsnd msnagement. and
has gone to Seattle. Wlggs seems to
lack control, and at all events was not
doing the work for the Commuters.
There waa a report around this week
that Oakland had asked waivers on
Gregory, but It wss Indignantly denied
by Secretary McFarlln. I wouldn't be
surprised, however, to hear any time
that Pitcher Kllroy was handed his
chance to play ball elsewhere. . He hat
been a stsady loser for the Oaks, and
Hsrry Wolverton doesn't care much for
that sort or a player.
Berry's Quest Fruitless.
Henry Berry didn't find It so easy
to get pitchers, according to word that
has come to hand. A few days ago.
Henry packed his dress suit oas and
hied himself to St. Louts to pick up
few high-class pitchers. And now hat
eome a telegram saying that Berry has
not been able to secure the men he
wants and has stsrted on bis return
trip, minus any new men.
Lefty Miller, of the Oaks, hat been
doing a lot of exercising since left at
home. Last Sunday he pitched win
ning ball for Colusa and every day
this week has been out lor morning
practice. Wolverton believes that Mil
ler needs mors work to put him In
shape, and that Is one reason he was
left at borne.
After a layoff of several weekt be'
cause of a broken hand. Catcher Wal'
ter Schmidt, of the Seals, has been put
back Into the harness. Schmidt is
good backstop as a substitute to Ber
ry, but his work wss not up to stand'
ard on Tuesday, showing that he needs
little practice himself before he can
be expected to play winning ball.
110 TO MEET WATSON
JAPAN ESK WRESTLER SAID TO
BE JIU-JITSU EXPERT.
Kxpoitents of Catch-as-Calch-Caji
and Oriental Styles Will Clash
Xext Friday.
Tha Armory Is to be the scene of a
wrestling match between Professor Ito,
a noted Japanese jiu-jitsu expert, and
"Farmer" Vation, a white grappler.
The Japanese eolony in Portland Is
showing more Interest in this match
than in any previous affair of the kind,
for the reason that Ito is better known
to them then were any of the other
Japt to appear here in the past.
Professor Ito Is said to bs the best
exponent of Jiu-jitsu in the United
States. He Is what Is known as a
fourth-class man. All the Jiu-jitsu men
In Jspan are graded, the first-class man
being the lowest grade. The classes
run as high as eight.
Ito Is i feet Inches tall and weighs
146 pounds, yet It will take a top-notch
performer to beat him. American
wrestlers have made the mistake of
trying to use jiu-jitsu methods on him.
It Is ssld that If a high-class wrestler
would stick to his own trade and use
hammerlocks. toe hold, strangle holds
snd the other punishing holds of the
cstch-as-cstch-csn game, they would
stsnd a much better chance with the
stocky little Jap than to meet hlra at
hit own style.

ELY BUILDS BIPLAXES QUICKLY
Full Equipment for Replacing
Wrecked Machines Is Carried.
Should any accident happen while
Eugene Ely is making his exhibition
flights In Portland next Tuesday and
Wednesday that would put both his
high-power Curtlss biplanes out of
commission, he will give a deraonstra
tlon to the crowds at the Country Club
grounds that is one of the most Inter
esting of any of the feats of air con
quering. He and his corps of six
trained mechanicians will build a new
airship complete before the eyes of
the spectators from the ground up In
less than 30 minutes.
Toung Ely has found that one of the
most unfortunate -things in connection
with aerial navigation meets Is that
machines will break down when least
expected, and the result is that the
thousands who have assembled and.
paid their good money to see real ex
hibitions are ' forced to go home dis
appointed, as recently every crowd that
has attended an exhibition in Fort
land has been forced to do.
To solve this problem was a matter
which Ely decided was one of the long
est steps forward In the progress of
the sport so he not only carries his
two fully equipped and tuned-up bi
planes with-him, but he has the extra
parts on hand to completely build a
couple more If necessary.

Some of Trying Times In

BT ROSCOB FAWCETT.
Two pennants and a finger in the
plum pudding 6n two other occasions
Is pretty good managerial work In
four starts. Harry Wolverton, the
"Emperor Hokus Pokus" of the Oak
land Coast Leaguers, has this very ex
cellent baseball record behind him. He
says he'll be up there again this year.
Who knows
Wolverton's record is good. He got1
his first chance at handling a ball club
in 1907, when he piloted Wllllamsport,
In- the Trl-State League, to a cham
pionship, repeating In 1908. In 1909 he
held the reins at Newark in the Eastern'
League, shaping a misfit organization
into second. Last season his Oakland
scrappers were nosed out of the bunt-j
lng by Portland. Two first and two
seconds. Yes, fair for a beginner. '
Wolverton has seen several years(
service In the major leagues, both ss a
pitcher and a third sacker, so is onto
all the ropes. He went In 1898 to Chi
cago. Jimmy Williams, now with Min
neapolis, following him through the
Western Association and Western
League and going higher the same year
to Pittsburg. Wolverton later spent
several seasons with the Philadelphia,
Nationals and closed his major league
career at Boston. Last season he bat-i

land. I

Always a close student of the game;

liamsport for the team was full of
"bugs" and other notorious trouble-'
makers. He had a young pitcher, a big'
fellow with extra-fare train speed who
was a hard .man to keep in line. The
lad suffered from an extrema case of
"exaggerated ego." He knew more
about baseball than "the man who
wrote the book" and took no pains to
conceal his superior wisdom from his
teammates.
Knowing the type of man, Wolver-1
ton called his pitchers together before
the "bug" Joined his team and said:
"Boys you all know that Jones Is a
'bug' and you'll have to humor him.
Run to him for all the advice you don't
need. Make him believe he is an edi
tion de luxe of Christy Mathewson and
keep him 'kidded' all the time."
. ThlB experience was new for the
young hurler. He was used to Irony
and sarcasm, but responded nobly un
der the treatment and nearly pitched
his arm out working for Wllllamsport.
In fact he was the chief cog In the
pennant machine. All this because
Wolverton knew bow to handle mm.
From the view point of the Portland
fan, Wolverton is "High Prelate Crab

miliar as Mount Hood. At close range,
however, he does not appear as wild as
the proverbial "wop" at the Swedish
picnic.
Mora Umpires seeded.
"No, I do not fancy adding the touch
of melancholy to the umpire's unkempt
existence," declared Wolverton at the
Seward yesterday, "but I know when I
get the worst of it and that's when I
bellow. This league should have four
or five umpires Instead of three. Even
the Northwestern, Class B, has four. All
up and down the Coast they are pann
ing the Oakland management for op
posing the double umpire system.
That's a fallacy. We are for more um
pires first, last and all the time."
Wolverton thinks his club will rinlsti
first or second, with Portland, San
Francisco and Vernon companions near
the top of the column.
'Portland's pitcning start is not up
to last year's despite all the talk to the
contrary," says the Oakland manager.
With Gregg and Krapp as his main
stays, McCredie had the best twirling

Big Chief Harry says that while

In the Vernon series about 10 days ago
when, In the 10th inning, with Hoff
man on first, he drove the ball over
the centerfield fence, sending Hoffman,
in with the winning tally. Ordinarily
the swat would have gone for a triple,
but Zacher stopped on first, so get3
credit for a single only.
Home Run. Is- "Short."
"Did you ever bear of the shortest
home run?" queried Wolverton, sud
denly dredging up one of the near-forgotten
reminiscences which keep ths
crackerbox circuit extant during the
Winter months. The writer assurer
him nay.
1 Rube Vickers, former Seattle
pitcher in the old Coast League, who
afterwards went to Philadelphia, is the
author . of the tale. He says the in
cident occurred on a foggy day in Se
attle In 1903," continued Wolverton.
"Vickers was on the mound with Se
attle one run to the good in the ninth
inning when the batter slammed a fast
grounder down the first base line. The
first baseman ran tor tne Dan, then
turned and motioned for the right
fielder, who came tearing in. There
was no ball In sight. The runner.
noting their predicament, tore for sec
ond, falted a moment, then tore for
third and later across the home plate.
The runner thereupon gave the snap
away, the ball was tucked snugly away
beneath the first bag, where It had
buried itself under the cover of the
fog. It was an infield home run, yet no
error was made and no bonehead re
corded." Tt was missed in the- mist, eh?"
queried the hotel clerk, haughtily.
I protest," said wolverton.
