A husky Swede, who had Imbibed too trttly aboard a train between Se attle and Portland recently, stood on the back of his feat and challenged any man In the car to combat. He then re peated the deM. extending to Include anybody In the state of Washington, frr.ally shouting forth Vel den aye can lick any man In the countray." Where upon a diminutive Irishman arose and vhtled the tar out of hlm. The moral Is this: The Swede took In too much territory. All of which furnishes a starter for a talk on an unassisted triple play discussion now under way In Eastern exchanges. "Only two such triple plays have been mad In class B. class A or major league baseball." asserts a well-known Chi cago baseball expert. He. however, re sembles the Swede. In" one respect h takes In too much territory, for, ac cording to all- the "dope" at hand, two unassisted triple plays have been achieved In the major leagues alone, white the Coast League can boast of a third, the latter having occurred In Portland In July of l0i. Larry Schlafley. then playing second base for the Beavers, was the hero of the occasion, and the old Seattle club the victim of the novelty. Jack Wal ter, whose J. Rufus Walllngford coun- tenance looms up behind a patent med icine torch on the street comer on frequent occasions, was holding down left field for Seattle. Jack walked. Kuss Halt, now an umpire In the Washington State League, but In tlios day shortstop and manager of th hound city crew, singled, making It two on th sacks and nobody down. Bill tmmcr, first baseman, took up bis trusty bludgeon and strode to th plate prepared to do or die. Bill met the second ball fairly on the trademark and It shot toward second with tu Telocity of a rifle shot. Schlafley darted toward second, threw out the bare hand, caught the ball, touched second base, forcing Walters, and then turned, quick a lightning, and ran down Huns Hall before he could return to the Initial sack. This made th third out. Neal Ball, the inflelder who refused o report to Portland this Spring, and who Is now busy making good with Cleveland, negotiated the most recent of the major league triples. The read er will likely recall that Ball, at Cleve land, caught a fly back of second base, ran !i feet, touched the bag. putting out th runner who had passed th base, and then touched Jake ejtahl. who ran Into Ball. The play was almost Identical with the one that Scblafley pulled five year before. JlineV Achievement Record. Without detracting from either of these performances, they were really amall avitair when compared with th first, aad for 11 years th only triple play unassisted on record In th big leagues. Paul Hlnea, outfielder for th Providence Cray, mad th startler in !- victory over boston. Douglas Allison, formerly known all over th land as Lug" Allison, was catching lor Providence. "I wa behind th bat with Corey pitching, said Allison when queried on th play later. "Sutton, of Boeton. mad a single; Manning followed ault and then Burdock, one of their star batter, cam to th plat. So on wa out and Sutton wa on Peeond and Vanning on first. I signalled to look out for left Held. Hlnea moved over a little In that direction from center and I saw him sprinting Just aa th ball cam toward th plate. Burdock gave th ball a crark that meant a three bagger or a homer. Just a little too hlga for the third baseman or short stop to handle. Field Catcher Pressed. A moment later I was amazed to see Paul Hlnea rush In Ilk a streak of lightning and take th ball knee-high off the grass In short left field. H tumbled but kept on coming toward third base, touching th .bag after both tnen had paased It and completing th triple. To mak doubly ear Hlnes then turned and ran to second and touched the keystone station also." Joseph Cohn, owner of th Spokan ball team, told of th most unique un assisted triple In th history of base ball, when In Portland during the re cent eerie with Nick Williams' brave. Th play waa mad by a "buao" catcher In a gam la Colorado. "Three men were on base aad no body down.' said Cohn. The batter truck out and th catcher purpoeely dropped th ball. for. under th rule. id batsman la out th minute h wings at th sphere whether It 1 caught or not. None of th base run ners wa forced to advance but they eemed to be rather haiy on th rule and the batter started for first, th man on first for second and aa on round.' Th catrher ran down toward third, touching the runner coming to ward home and continued on toward shortstop intercepting the runner from econd. making the three outa" Cohn topped th terr off by saying that th man originally on first then turned back to the Initial station but waa caught out on a throw to first, completing In reality a quadruple kill ing. If such a thing were possible. HOR5E STILL HOLDING OWN In frrlte) of Auto. Many Pure-Blooded AnJnial Are Imported. WASHINGTON. July IS.

Happy Hogan Says Vernon Has Al ready Laid Away $16,000, bnt There Are Persons Who Take Statement With Reservation. BT BOECOE FAWCETT. Basoball is anything if not on a pay ing basis in the Pacific Coast League this season, according to those who ar In a position to get an occasional glimpse at the daily balance sheets of the various clubs. "Sacramento will be the only city under the (16,000 profit mark," said a well-known league official the other day, and indications seem to bear him out. Taka the Vernon club as a sample of the way the financial breeze is blowing. Hogan halls from a city where the fans are divided In the sup port of two teams, yet ho avers that he Is past the $15,000 profit line already. Vernon and Los Angeles went In to gether on the new 132,000 grounds, and I really believe- we have paid our share of the cost by this time." de clared Hogarr yesterday. "We have a 10-year lease on the grounds and pay an annual rental of $10,000, shared equally by the two teams." The Los Angeles club, perhaps. Is not doing as well as Vernon owing to its position in the pennant race, but Dillon's qrew draws almost up to the Vernon standard when playing at home and the Angel backers are quoted in a Southern paper as predicting a neat gooee egg of from $10,000 to $20,009 for the proverbial rainy day. Many persons are Inclined to take HOgan's statement of $15,000 clear vel vet ud to July 15 with a grain of salt. Portland and San Francisco are admit tedly the beet paying clubs in the cir cuit, yet Walter McCrodie says that the Beavers have netted no such gor geous returns as yet. He refused, how ever, to estimate the earnings of his club. San Francisco baseball moguls seem to have the one-best bonanza of the circuit. Baseball in the Bay City is controlled by two separate corpora tions, the San Franolsco Baseball As sociation and the Recreation Park As sociation, both under the control of Frank Ish and J. Cal Kwing. - The Seals are at home for 16 weeks during which period thoir share of the recelpta will total close to $600 per week," said Hogan, when asked for a guess on the gate at Sau Francisco, based on the Vernon receipts when scheduled there. '"That makes a total of IW0.000 for the season at home. "Now. th Seals are taxed 20 per cent for the us of the grounds Dy the Park Association, and this same per cent Is levied against Oakland when playing on the San Francisco diamond. Therefore you see Ish and Ewlng get practically twice $1,000 or $36,000 for the rent of the grounds alone. In addition to the profits off th San Francisco lall team for tha sea son." . e Rolile Zelder has now played every Infield position on the Chicago Amer ican League club, his latest efforts be ing oentered aroupd the Initial sack, where Duffy atationed him after Col lin' disabling. Zelder has had a hard row to hoe this season. One month ago, the ex-San Francisco star was in disrepute with the fans as a result of several costly boots. The bugs made life miserable for him with their Ill concealed knocking and Zelder begged Comlskey to let him go back to Cali fornia. . Comlskey and Duffy were wise enough to hold onto the bow-legged wonder, however, and as soon as tha Sox struck the road, back Into the lineup went Zelder. After the lapse of a month of the road Rollle re turned with a large-sised feather pro truding from his Fedora. Among other surprising performances on the trip was his home run In Detroit on July 4. which Balled far over Cobb's head and sent the game into extra innings.

The zones show comparative distances from the Postoffice, taken as the central location, and indicate that distance to the new park is about the same as to the present scene of play. The mapalso shows different street railway lines reaching both sites. The new park lies just north of the Oregon Furniture Factory and is located on the waterfront, though the plant will be constructed weet of the trestle on the Oswego line of the Southern Pacific, and the extreme eastern strip skirting the river will be utilized by the JIc Credies for other purposes. Except for a small patch at the southeast corner, the site is not touched by the annual Spring freshet. This cor ner will be filled in from 8 to 12 feet when the regrade is made.

Service to New . . Baseball Grounds to Be Good. the plan to extend the seats clear around the outfield Is considered. For the benefit of residents of the South East Side, It might be men tioned that the new grounds are of easy access to them by way of the Sellwood ferry and Fulton Park line. SITE IS ON RIVER FRONT Grandstand to Be Constructed of Steel and Concrete and Top Deck May Be Added Later Dis tance From Town Same. Within the next two weeks grading on the site of the new home of the Portland Beavers will be begun and work on th new baseball grounds will be rushed as rapidly as possible, for Judge McCredie intends to have the park completed and the stands and bleachers ready for the opening of. the 1912 season. The new park has been surveyed and engineers have Inspected the site and have submitted drawings and recommendations which the baseball officials are now considering. It is proposed to have everything In the new park strictly modern and all the latest Improvements looking to the comfort of spectators and players will be installed. The site of the new park Is as yet unfamiliar to the great majority of the fans. For their benefit The Orego nian today is publishing a sectional map of the city, showing the new grounds and their location from the central business district. Comparative distances from Third and Washington streets to the Va.ughn street lot and to the site of the new park at Macadam avenue and Terwil llger street, show that the new grounds are further by but two city blocks, which, considering that several of the blocks along the route to" the present grounds are 400 feet long, naturally makes the two sites about the same distance from Third and Washington streets. As for traffic accommodations, the new site Is well favored. In addition to being located on the waterfront, insuring cool and delightful breezes as. well as water transportation, It is also adjacent to earlines. The S. or North and South Portland, and the Fulton Park lines of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Com pany, at. present pass within two blocks of the new ball grounds, and on completion of the park the street railway company w-111 undoubtedly construct spur tracks to carry passen gers directly to the entrances. Further to convenience baseball patrons, the street railway ccmpany could extend the Fifth-street line to a connection with the S line in First street without any great amount - of construction work. Besides the regular street railway service, the new park is almost direct ly on the Hne of the Oregon Electric, and this company will undoubtedly ar range a local sen-ice to accommodate baseball fans. Then there Is the Oswego division of the Southern Pacific, which passes directly by the new grounds to the east. Tl)e grandstand at th park will be constructed on the west side of the field, which will face the grounds in the opposite direction to that at the present site, which has a west front age. The new stands will be of rein forced concrete and steel, erected to permit of the addition of a top deck if the patronage grows with the popula tion In future years. Th bleachers will also be solidly constructed, and M'GIXXITY CRIES "EXOTJGH! Old Xew York Star Tires of Trials of Managing Ball Club. NEWARK. N. J., July 15. (Special.) ' Iron Man" McGlnnlty. former pitch er of the New York Giants, has got his fill of managerial experience, and Is going to throw up the sponge as man ager and owner of the Newark Eastern League Club. McGlnnlty, after a sea son of constant reverses, has given an option on the club to Frank Mihlon, a local sporting promoter. McGlnnlty wilt complete the deal upon his return from Baltimore, where his club played today. An offer will be made to George T. Stallings to ac cept the managerial berth and should he refuse either Arthur Irwin, the scout of the New York Americans, or Harry Wolverton, now with Oakland, will have the preference.

Victor's Work Clever, but Blows Lack Steam Swing to Jaw Xear ly Puts Him Out. LOS ANGELES, July 15. Johnny Kllbane, of Cleveland, O., won the de cision at the end of his 20-round fight with Patsy Kline, of Newark, at the Vernon arena today. Outside of Kilbane's clever boxing and fancy footwork, the only feature of the fight came in the eighth round, when Kline caught Kilbane with a ter rific left swing to the Jaw and stretched him on the floor in a neutral corner. Kilbane took the count of five and thereafter was more skillful in ducking or backing away from Kline's attempts to land. Kllbane apparently had every blow in the pugilistic calendar at his com mand and landed each frequently, with out embarrassing the sturdy Kline. The latter's chief stock In trade was a wild swing with either hand and a kidney punch in the clinches. Kllbane will meet Joe Rivers at Ver non on Labor dajr in a 20-round bout at 122 pounds. In the first preliminary "Babe" Pl cato stopped Bob Monroe, of San Frun clsco, in three rounds. In the second preliminary. Paul Kohler, of Cleveland, pounded Charlie Dalton all over the ring for 15 roimds, but could not knock the local lad out. Kohler got the decision. Johnson Offered Big Purse. LONDON, July 15. Except signing the articles everything has been ar ranged for a match between Jack John son and Bombadier Wells, for the big gest purse ever offered in Great Brit ain. Johnson Is to receive $30,000. win, draw or lose. The sum of $15,000 is to be deposited July 15 and the other $15,000 Is to be handed to Johnson an hour before the contest, which is to take place in London, probably in September. Buffalo Golfer Is Champion. DETROIT. Mich.. July 15. The in dividual championship of the Lower Iakes Golf League was won this after noon by Faust, of Buffalo, who defeated McMillan, of Detroit, three up and two to Thirteen Regular Players In Xorth uestern League Are Xow Batting in .300 Class Xick's Hurlers Are Easy for Spokane. Miles Hetzel, the stocky Spokane third baseman, is again leading the Northwestern League in batting, with the fine average of .347. In the last two weeks he has put daylight between himself and his nearest competitor in the race for the Northwestern League batting honors. The number of real .300 hitters in the Northwestern League has increased within the last week or so, and the "eternal law of the average" is not cut ting down the records of the lively young athletes. Including the batting records of July 12, 15 are in the covet ed class, not counting Knight, of Seat tle. Thirteen of these have been regu lars Jn the daily line-up. Five or six more players are struggling along close to the mystic circle. Kippert, Bennett, Nordyke, Lynch, Frisk and Hetzel have been coming up fast of late, particularly the first three. Kippert Jumped from .309 to .325. Ben nett from .282 to .306, and Nordyke from .2M to .300. The whole Spokane team has been making strides In batting records at the expense of Victoria and Portland pitchers. Right now. five of the regu lars in the Indian line-up are hitting at a .300 clip and Cooney is tagging along at ,276. Cartwrlght Is only .223. The Indians' team average is .275, as compared with .250 for Vancouver, and .238 for Tacoma, with which teams the redskins are lighting for first place. With anything like average work in the defensive line, the Indians ought to be many games ahead of their rivals, on the strength of this terrific batting. No team in a great many years of Northwestern League ball has ever hung up a .275 team average for half the season. Netzel also leads in- runs, with Cooney and Frisk, teammates, his near est rivals. Spokane averages one run to the game more than Vancouver, tne Indians' nearest foemen, and a run and a half more than Tacoma, which is in third place. The trouble is that the other fellows are making a lot of runs against the Indians. Tacoma is leading in team fielding, with Vancouver second. The Indians, with a few more chances to handle, have made the second greatest total number of errors. The only club that has made more errors is Victoria, the hopeless tailenders. Vancouver's in field leads In double plays. Not a regular player in the North western League is not hitting at least .200. MacMurdo followed Raymond in to the ranks the other day. Tealy is near enough to be credited with the .200 mark. In stolen bases "the leaders follow: Bennett 35.
