lany Pauling Question Coming to
Scorekecper la ConrM of Game
Can Be Eliminated by New
Ralea Being Adoptrd.
Cepta'n Sr.eer.an. of the Portland
Feavers. on of th closest student of
baseball In th Coast League. U out
with a recommendation for a change
la th scorlr.r rules that really should
have bn brought, about year ago.
"heahaa bllra that a batsman, who
geta th ilm to hit th next ball de
livered to th plat. 1 as much entitled
to a aacrlflc tf he falls to land safely
aa th man who bunts.
Th hit-and-run play enables th
man on th bass to net away on a
f bins' start, but th man at th bat
la forced to blai away at the ball no
matter If It Is a foot above his head
or a foot tie other aid of th plat.
In a measure, he Is deliberately sacrificing-
himself, and th chance seems
only a matter of time.
heehan opposes a suggestion mada
by an Eastern magnate In advocacy of
another change In the sacrifice applica
tion. This recommendation provides
for an exemption from a Urn at bat
for an Infield grounder scoring a man
from third. In ths earn manner aa Ui
aacrlflc fly. As th rules stand now
th batsman gets credit for a sacririca
If be hoists out a long fly and tb man
from third beats In tb throw.
Jostle of Kale Questioned.
The Justice of this sacrifice-fly rule
hae often been questioned, but granting
that soma measure of reward In th
cor la dua tli player who helpa his
team by bringing In a run with a fly.
why should not a similar reward go to
another player who helpa his team In
th sams way by hitting a groundsr
to oom Inflelder? if ther Is any Jus
tice in this arrangement, th dtscoTerer
would confer a general favor by point
ing It out.
"I don't think a man earns a saortflc
In that case." ays tiheehan. Perhapa
not. but th same la true of th sacri
fice fly.
On rhanga brought about In tha
sacrlflc scoring last Winter has legis
lated out of existence on of th most
unjust features of official scoring. With
a runner on first, for Instance, th
batsman lays down a perfect bunt and
fta thrown out at first, th runner ad
vancing to second. Tha batter geta a
'sacrlflc hit and la exempted from a
time at bat
But glT th play a different turn.
Suppose th pitcher or third baseman,
wao fields th bunt, thinks he has a
chanc to gel th original runner at
second and hurls th ball to that sta
tion for a fore play, only to discover
that th man beats tile throw and bota
are safe. I'nder th old rules no sac
rifice could be allowed the batter be
caus nobody went out. and h was
charged with a time at bat.
Batter lias to Suffer.
Could anything be mora ridiculous?
The batter accomplished mora for his
team In th second case, and still hsd
to suffer for th pitcher's or third
bsseman's error of Judgment. Under
the new arrangement adopted by tha
National Baseball Writers' Association
tne batsman Is given a bas hit. Thla
may b going to the other extreme, but
It seems fairer than scoring a Ilm at
bat and no hit.
On th whole, not on basebsll fan
out of a thousand really knows much
of the Intrlcsciee of correct babseball
storing. Th distinction between a bit
and an error, th giving of assists,
crediting pitchers with victories, and
sacrlflc hits and file all these per
plexities pop tip a thousand times dur
ing every gam at th Coast League
park.
In another column th writer shows
a scoring dtaaram which la perhaps
on of t-'i simplest In existence. For
the benefit of th fan w append a
few hints on features of the National
pastime that are most frequently mis
understood. The most Intrlcat thing Is determin
ing the difference between a bas nit
snd an error. The man who shrieks
"error at a player "because he touched
th ball" ought to be shot. II dis
courages effort on th part of tb men
to make sensstlonal tries. A plsyrr
msy get both hands on th ball and It
may be a hit. Kor Instance. If he
makes a hard run and really goea out
of hia poeitlon. An error Is charged
through some mechsnlcal failure to
make a play mechanical, mind you
not failure to mak som extraordinary
catch.
An easy grounder may go to th
shortstop and suddenly slrtk a pebble
and be deflected In such a manner that
h could not reasonably have expctd
to get It. This should be scored as a
hit. lucky, of course, but th poor
fielder ts not to he blamed. Always
give th tatter tha benefit of th
doubt.
Tb amateur scorer often seeks In
correct, y to glv a batter a aacrlflc
on a bunt, full awing or scratch where
h la retired at first, but advances a
runner. This ts wrong. There ar but
two styles of sacrifice the bunt ad
vancing a bas runner and tha fly
scoring- a man from third.
AlMs and Errors Scored.
In the matter of assists, remember
that assists can he given, even though
no putout la registered. For Instance,
th shortstop throws to first to head
a runner and the first baseman drops
th balL Th shortstop dl.l bis part
and geta an assist, while th first bsse
maa Is charged with aa error. The
asm is tru when a catcher throws to
a bas to catch a base stealer and ths
baseman drops the peg. If the runner
would bsve been caught, mantfeetly
the catcher gets an assist snd th
baseman put out.
Every player who touches a ball dur
ing a play that resjlts in a pjtout. or
would hav resulted la a putout. wer
It not for som error, must b credited
with an assist.
A batter Is xmpted from a tiro at
bat on a bas on halls, on a dead ball,
on a life because of Interference by
the catcher, on a sacrifice hit or f'y.
These few pointers are given merely
with a view of minimising the tenden
cy to a divergence of opinion not only
among the fna. but among the novice
scorers of Tort:and and vicinity.

OK SCORING BASEBALL GAMES.
BERNARD HAS NEXT PLACE
A so ther ar scorers and scorers
and different methods of scoring
3 ther ar nmplrea and umpires
baseball games. Th abov diagram
shows on of th most simple methods
of detailing tiie nine innings of play,
th Portland half alon being depicted.
To begin with most scorers number
th men. In thla case first bas la 1.
second Z. third S. shortstop 4. pitcher i.
catcher i, left field T. center S and right
field These numbers permit th
scorer to record each play In the brief
est, quickest way.
Ia the first Inning. Oiadboum. of
Portland, at bat. grounds to the op
position third baseman, . who throws
him out at first. Th acorr chalks him
out S-l. Rodgrrs single Into left field,
the 7 denoting where th ball went and
the slngl line through th seven th

denote a double, thre a trlpl and so
on. Rysn then bunts to pitcher, who
throws to first -l. Ryan being
credited with a sacrlflc and exempted
from a Urn at bat la th ultimata total.
Krueger flies out to centerfleld (FS),
and ends this half of the Inning.
Rappa opena Portland's half of th
second with a double to center, as
shown by the double bar across the 8.
Sheeban . walks. W). Pecklnpaugh
grounds out. shortstop to first. 4-l),
Murray takes first on a dead ball (HP),
Steen fans IK). Chadbourne singles past
third (-l). scoring Rapps, as shown by
the dot. and Krueger files out to right
F.)
Stolen bases are credited (SB), foul
files (FF. passed balls (PB), wild
pitches WP. and errors IE.) Every
base a player reaches, from the tlm
he steps up to bat until he scores or Is
"left" must be set down. The left band
corner of the Inning square Is taken
for first base data, the upper left for
second, the upper right for third, and
tbe lower light for home.
Tb third Inning brings this, out

centerfleld and scores on a long sac
rifice By Into left FT by Rappa.. Shee
han singled past first (bar through 1).
steals second (5B. steals third (SB)
and dies there when Pecklnpaugh fans
tK.)
Th novice scorer and th average
fan puzzles at the term "fielder's
choice." Here is a simple explanation
In th third Inning: Murray goes safe
on an error by shortstop (E4), and
goes to third on a double. Into right
by Steen. Chadbourne ground to the
third baseman, who has the option of
throwing him out at first or cutting
Murray off at the home plate. He
throws to the plate and Murray Is
out (S-61. Chadbourn'e safety at first
being chalked down as a fielder's
choice (FC.) Steen scores a moment
later on a wild pitch by the pitcher,
as shown by the (WPI In the home
plate comer of the aquare.
Th detail from this on Is merely
repetition. At the close of the gam
th scorer must total up each man's
work, at the bat. runs and hits, shown
on th extreme right, being ascertained
by merely running the pen across the
page, bearing In mind that walk, dead
ball and sacrifice hit must not be
chalked up aa times at bat. The put
outs, assists and errors must neces
sarily be tsken from the detail play
of th opposition team. Just as the op
position team's fielding; Is shown In
th Portland batting register dia
grammed above,
Cutshaw, of Oakland, Leads All In
Stolen Bases; Carlisle, of Ver
non,' Best Rungetter, and
Koestner Heads Twlrlers.
Buddy Ryan, Portland's aggressive
center fielder, assumed the lead among
the batsmen of the Pacific Coast League
last week, for he now taJtes precedence
over his rivals with a mark of .34S,
while Curtis Bernard, of the Angel
team. Is second. These figures Include
the games played last Sunday.
Bill Rapps and Pecklnpaugh have
also been batting fine, and 'both have
Increased their percentages, while
Tommy Sheehan continues to slip, and
Artie Krueger has just about held his
own. Chadbourne has leaped a few
points, while Rodgers has also brought
his mark up a few notches. Tennant,
of San Francisco, and Zacher. of Oak
land, are also hitting the ball at a live
ly clip. Cutshaw. of the Oakland team.
Is leaving the balance of the coasters
behind him In the matter of stolen
bases, for the Oak player now has 33
purloined sacks to his credit. His near
est competitor la his teammate. Wares,
who haa i3 steals recorded so far this
season. Portland has three men lead
ing In the two-base hitting -division,
with Ryan first, Krueger second and
Pecklnpaugh third.
Walter Carlisle, of the Vernon Club,
Is the leading run-getter of the league,
having scored 60 runs so far this sea
son. Buddy Ryan Is second In the run
getting; division, with 43 scores to his
credit, and Buddy is also In line to be
the first coaster to make 100 hits, as
he had made SO blngles up to last Sun
day's engagement.
Elmer Koestner Is ths leading twlrl
er of the league In the matter of vic
tories won, as the big Portlander has
won 8 out of-11 games started this sea
son. Seaton and Henderson are climb''
lng in pitchers' winning averages, while
Steen has slumped hard.
The averagea up to and including last'

TIGERS NOW LOOK GOOD
TACOMA TEAM HAS CHAXCE TO
LEAD LEAGCE.
Successive Defeats Handed Port
land by Vancouver and Tacoma
Are Most Disastrous.
BT W. J. PETRAIX.
The Portland Roadsters have been
easy meat for both Tacoma and Van
couver, and the . wallopings handed
them by these two clubs have put the
Canadians and the Tigers within ball
ing distance of Spokane.
The Roadsters meet Spokane in
Portland commencing with tomorrow
afternoon's game, for a week's series,
and it will be Interesting to see how
Jhe Indians fare against the fast slip
ping Portland team. If baseball pre
cedent Is adhered to In this coming
series. It may be that Williams' bunch
will trim Spokane and thereby boost
either Tacoma or Vancouver into first
place. The Tacoma Club looks like the
team Spokane will have to trim in
order to bold first place.

The cork-center ball has been
blamed for a lot of things, among
which is listed Ty Cobb's Inability
to bunt successfully. However, as
Cobb Is hitting something over .400, It
does not appear that his inability to
bunt cuts much figure in his batting
prowess. -
Incidentally, while the new ball is
being blamed for a lot of things, at
tention might be called to tne work
of Pitchers Koestner, Henderson and
Crlger in the series here this week.
All three of these pitchers were not
bothered by the cork center ball, and
the same will apaJy to the balance of
the twlrlers if they would pitch base
ball instead of working like a lot of
coal heavers. The lively ball Is not
altogether to blame, and the sooner
some pitchers realize this the more ef
fective they will become.
The Victoria Club has returned
Catcher DeVogt" to 'the Sacramento
Club. In explanation Eddie House
holder bad the following in a Tacoma
paper:
"I would like to have held DeVogt." said
Eddie Householder, "but we didn't feel dis
posed to carry any farm hands. De Vogt
belonga to Sacramento and would revere
to that club at the close of the season any-
wav.
"Dashwood will be all right In a few
days. You see. he caught 28 straight games
for us and that crippled htm up. bipesman
is catching good ball and with the 'Dasher
back In the game we had no use for De
Vogt. Bex caught some nice ball for us."
Henry Berry is on his way home
from an Eastern trip during which he
purchased Pitchers Jack Halla, of the
Louisville Club,, and Leverenz, a New
England youngster. The latter may
help the Angels considerably, but any
time an American Association club Is
willing to part with a twirler at this
time of the year, said twirler must
have about outlived his usefulness in
that circuit. Halla has been In the
American Association for a good many
years, and was rated as a high-class
twirler In that circuit. If he wins for
Berry It will be a surprise. Leverenz
may be the goods. H Is a youngster
and worth the trial.
William Siebels. aridstant manager
of the Auditorium Theater in Spokane,
has been a visitor in Portland during
the past week, and is now rooting
harder than ever for Spokane to enter
the Pacific Coast League. "Bill" says
he is about tired of the brand of base
ball dished out by Dugdale and one or
two other magnates in that circuit, and
says that if the rest of the league was
in control of such men as Joe Cohn
and George Schreeder the Northwest
ern would really be a baseball league.
Siebels Is a native of Portland, but
has resided in Spokane for the past 12
years.

telegraph facilities between the track

ng out of the racing results. Under

from a racetrack is made unlawful. This
law was not enforced during the nine
days which have passed of tha 10-day

MUNDORFF TOPS STICKERS
Seattle Appears to Be One Big Fail
ure of Year in Northwestern
League Indians Play Steady
and Consistent Baseball.
Mundorff, Bradley and Mensor are the
only Portland Northwestern leaguera
who are clouting the ball over .240, so
It is not to be wondered that the Road
sters are down In tbe perecentage col
umn. Williams' pitchers have not been
going good.
Mundorff still Is leading the stickers
and Mensor, the diminutive Portland
shortstop, is leading the base-stealers
with 21". Batting, on the whole, is
about 20 per cent higher than a year
ago.
- Indians Play Consistent Ball.
From appearance at this stage of the
Northwestern race Spokane, Tacoma
and Vancouver are just a trifle too
classy for the other clubs. Spokane
was lucky in getting off on a flying
start but the Indians have been playing
consistent ball right along and on pres
ent form should repeat. Tacoma got
off poorly and really has made the
best show!' g in the circuit. The team
seems to aave plenty of reserve. Van
couver'., old heads are plowing steadily
along, but the squad does not appear so
strong as last season's.
Seattle has been the one big failure
of the year. Take Skeels away from
the pitching staff and the youngster
Bues away from third base and the out
fit Tighe has gathered together couldn't
beat a snare drum. Weed and Shea are
playing steady ball, but the attack on
the whole Is woefully weak.
