SMITH. tAS FRANCISCO. CaU July -1. (Special.) It mar t a little early to admit It and Danny Lone will look upon this confession as rank treason, but the San Francisco scribes from top to bottom of ths list, look for the Bear ers to make a runaway race. Of course thlnfs may chana-e. and very frankly we hope they will, but there seems to he no stopping the Oreftonlans. and the way the other clubs In the race are flSMtlnc rh other, they are doing nothing more nor lees than cutting off one another's noses. A couple of weeks aco. when the Oaks were Just about due to be at home f.r three weeks, the secretary of the Oakland club wrote: "Commenctna Tuslay the Oaks will be at home for three weeks, and by the end of that time they will be so far In front that the other clubs will be merely fight In for second position." It was a dismal prophesy as we look st It now. and there Is nothing to bear It out. Seals IK Well Vnder Handicap. The Seals have been dotna- better than might have been expected of them In their crippled condition. There Is n salnrarlnc that Injuries to the In field hare tended to hurt the boys Just where ther ought to be strongest, but the disappointment locally has been with the pitchers, who have come far fron performing as well as expected of t em at the on tee t of the eeaeon. I doubt very much If Oakland will be any more dangerous than It Is Just st present, and If the Beaver twlrlers ran hold up they ought to win out ! ne. I know that Is the sentiment irons; the local baseball writers, snd most of them are prejudiced to the extent that they are putting for one learn or the ether as between San Fran cisco and Oakland. Seals Weak on Pitchers. Long doesn't appear to be strength ening his team In the pitching depart ment. Just where they need It the most. To the contrary, he tm getting new out fielders, evidently figuring that what he wants Is more hitting. He has asked waivers on Heinle Melcholr for one thing, and has two new outfielders on the road. Art Smith, from Austin. Texas, and Joe Holland, from Roanoke. Va. Smith was with Lynchburg. Ti, la.it season, and both of theso men are vouched for by Catcher Walter Schmidt and Outfielder Wat Powell. Their records show they have been hitting the ball well In their respective league. Just who wtlll go when they arrive remains to be seen. Melcholr. of coarse, has been selected since waivers have been asked, and the chances are that Tommy Madden la the other player doomed to make a change. Several weeks ago Long tried to trade Madden to Happy Hogan for the fleet-footed Johnny Kane, but Hogan wouldn't think of letting the ex-Cub go. so the trad waa off. Hunky Shaw has plrked up so well since he ha been playing the last three weeks, that the chances are very much In favor of his sticking. Some of the pitchers, too. may be allowed to roam. Carl Zamlovk has been troubled with a stitch In his side that has prevented him from doing his most effective work, snd Melkle does not appear to be rounding Into the frm that he showed when he was In training at Modesto. Oaks Are Well Storked. The Oaks are well stocked up with players. I counted 10 of them In uni form the other day. all cavorting on the diamond, and when I commenced to figure It out. discovered that Wolver ton has I? men all told. Some of these, of course, are youngsters, boys he Is looking over with a view to uelng them next season. Bohen. a pitcher from Napa; Jimmy Lewis, a bush pitcher from fxs Angeles who tried out wit!) San Francisco and wm turned looso. and Artett. an Alameda boy who Is both pitcher and Inflelder. are among them. Bohrn comes from f" same part of the world as Oscar Vltt. Wotverton says that he has a good rnrve. and the worst thing about him Is his slse. or lack of It. as he is a small fellow. Lewis hse a good break, and Wolverton declares that It la slm plr a question of control with him. Jimmy Byrnes Is one more footloose. H didn't sign a contract with the Vil lagers, but merely went along to Port land to help them out. When Hasty Joined the Hocan crew there was no room for Jimmy, and he rs back home In Ban Francisco watching the games and waluag for a chance for himself. Schmidt Ik Strong Man. I see that the Port Wind fans like Walter Schmidt. The experts down In this neck of the woods figure out that he Is one of the best catchers la the league. If not the beat. He has plenty of ginger and also knows how to use his head. He pulled off a trick the other day that stiowed bow he studies the situation. Maggart was on second and Wares at first. They started to pu! the double steal Just as the ball was pitched. Schmidt's Brst Impulse was to throw to third to btad Maggart. la the twtnkltng of an eye he saw there was no chance, and Instead tossed to M-Ard!e for an out at second on Waxea. who happened to be loafing, never dreaming there was any danger. The San Francisco grandstand lately l.as looked somewhat Ilka a small sec tion of Portland. Chester Murphy took In several games last week when he was down here, and this week District Attorney Cameron and Deputy Sheriff Archie Leonard were out to root for the Senators and help them beat the Oaks back. C.rahatn Figure Senators SUU In. "Look out for the Senators." Is the arr.ing t3t Charlie Graham has flung it the other managers. And Sacramento le not so far out of the rare at that. Graham contends that his best pitchers are back la their form and that be will be ahie to show the ether cluba some thing. By taking nine out of 14 games In the south. Patry OBourkes Terriers have, to a certain extent. Justified this opinion.

CARLISLE'S unssslsted triple mss sarre at Ixs Angeles on Wednes day recalls some other remarkable anecdotes of the diamond. "I was holding down third base for Albsny In the New Tork State League In a game against Syracuse on July day In 110." said Patsy ORourke. of the Sacramento Club, when In the city with his Senstora on the Isst trip North. "Alexander the Great, the wonderful twlrler now leading the Philadelphia Nationals, was pitching for Syracuse. "Three Syracuse men were on the bases In the last of the 15th Inning with nobody out and a score of S to 4 In our favor. McBrlde. our star twlrl er, wss In the bos but with the bases full and nobody down we c uld hardly hope for victory. "Armbruster. slogging outfielder of the Syracuse, who finished the season with an average of .103. picked up his pet bludgeon and strode to the Plata. Here Is where my headwork came Into pier. "Armbruster waited for a nice. Ju'cy waist ball and then slsmmed It down st me like a 10-Inch projectile from a cannon. I got the ball on the first bounce, turned In the line and tagged the runner going home from third, making one out. and then, plunging my hand Into my rear pocket, fished out a big. round potato I had concealed there before the game and hurled It high over the first baseman's head Into the bleach ers. "Of course." continued Patsy, "the two other base runners and the bats men supposed I had thrown the ball away so sll I hsd to do was to stick on the line between third and home and tag them ss they Jogged by me. It Is the first and only unassisted quad ruple play on record." Patsy thereupon bit off a four-pound chew from a slsable hunk of tobacco dug up from the recesses of the same pocket that produced the far-famed spud, while Ben Henderson quietly sneaked to a cafe and secured a nice ripe tomato. Here endetb, the story. see Ous Fisher. ex-Portland catcher now with Cleveland, displayed even greater brain power In a game with the Detroit Tigers a few weeks ago. according to "Speck" Harkness. who recently re turned from the Somersvllls granary. "It really was the greatest play I never saw." ejaculated the new Beaver hurler. Ty Cobb, the wonderful De troit baseball machine, has been run ning wild on the bases, going from take his turn on the mound. Hunt has picked up weight rapidly since he was released from the hospital. Mickey La Longs and Warren were left at home by the Senators after they came from the north, and Jimmy Lewis has been shipped to San Francisco, as It wss figured that he would do better where the weather was not so warm as In Sacramento. Cuts haw has been having a layoff for several days on account of ths shakeup that he got last week when a ball hit him In the mouth and knocked out sev eral of his teeth. Hetllng has been doing duty around second base, and has been playing a good game of bail. Cal Ewlng dropped the remark before leaving for Portland that hereafter he would sit on the bench with his boys and Inject a little life Into them. He thinks the San Francisco club Is not sufficiently aggressive, and that Is the complaint made by a lot of the fans this year. It waa particularly noticeable when Tvnnant waa out of the game. The Seals haven't very many scrappy ball players on the team, and It will be a good thing to stir them up a trifle. Big League Club Wanted. BALTIMORE. Mi, July II. That Baltimore will make a determined ef fort to be represented next year by a baseball club In the National League was evidenced today when It was an nounced that Mayor Preston had sent a letter to all the owners of the clubs of the National and American Leagues, asking to meet a committee of leading cltliena of Baltimore there July 2$. to consider the transfer of the franchise of the Boston National League Club to Baltimore. Harry Stelnfeldl IIL CINCINNATI. O.. Jiily SZ. Harry Stetnreldt. third baseman for the Boa ton Nationals. Is seriously ill st his home In Bellevue. Kr. from nervous prostration, brought about through worry over his release from the Chi cago team early In the season. first to home on singles, scoring from second on sscrlrlce fllea and perform ing other sensational feats on the paths to the utter chagrin of American League backstops. "Cobb wss on first bsse In the third Inning on this particular day. Fisher being behind the bat for the Naps. Fisher saw Cobb priming for his merry chase sround the bags, so called for a waste ball and made a great bluff to throw to second. Gus dldn"t throw It, however; Just held the ball In his hand and got Cobb coming home." Not a bad idea, either, was It? . . Up In the Montana State League there used to be a manager whoso name was spproxlmately Cooney. snd who was an awful cut-up. He wss fa mous for his repartee and could pull It like his namesake Philip on the Spo kane Club, without thinking It over the night before. Cooney dug up a pitcher named Jacks, who later was tried out by the Butte Club snd blew. At any rate, on hla first game out under Cooney he slung a no-hlt, no-run game and fanned 2J men. The natives went wild. The next time Jacks wss to pitch Cooney saw more money at the gate than he could believe. The owners of his club had also sunk a small fortune on the out come of the game. Play time came but no Jacks. The "kid" had stage fright and had "beat if for the tall and uncut. Cooney had no other good pitcher on hand snd was "up against It." He sent a scout out to look for Jacks snd sst down to wait The Village Gambler, proprietor of a two-bit crap game In the barber shop, rose In the stand and inquired threat eningly: Say. when Is this gsme gonna open?" Cooney thereupon climbed up on a stump near first base and made this Immortal announcement: "No use to get excited, gents. I can't open till I get Jacke or better." The rebuttal so amused the crowd that It waited for another half hour, when the recalcitrant mound man was found snd trotted out In time to save the day. Cooney's headwork will go down In baseball records ss the greatest plsy on words In the history of the sport. Ever hesr how Dummy Taylor mads a triple putout with his fsmous boom erang ' ball? Dummy Taylor, by the way. was the envy of all other ball players of hi; day for he could vent hla spleen against the umpire by wearing at the official to his heart's content. When Dummy got Into action na was more comical than an Esperanto conversation. Nobody knew what WALSH SCORES JONES WHITE SOX PITCHER DENIES HE XEEDS JONES BRAINS. Twirler &ajs He Made ex-Manager Name and Almost Ruined Arm In Making Attempt. Fielder Jones, ex-manager of the Chi cago White Sox. and now a resident of Portland. Is "In bad" with one or his former star twlrlers. Ed Walsh, picked by Lajole as ons of the greatest pitch ers In the American League, who has made every team In the clroult eat from his hand this season. Is the man on the warpath and all because of a story cir culated in the press of the country that Walsh needs Jones' brains to be most effective. . . According to this fanciful tale, which, by the way. did not originate in Port land and did not come from Jones, the premier White 8ox pitcher, misses the wise counsel of the former leader of the white-hosed athletes and has failed to twirl as he did In 108 because he and Jones are separated. This Walsh denies emphstlcally. and his excoriation Is In teresting, even If not well-founded: "If Fielder Jones Is not the author of these stories about the Vhlte Sox and me In particular, then he owes It to the fans to deny thsm before they are accepted as coming from him for a certainty. A short time ago Jones was quoted as saying the White Sox would finish in lsst place. After the lapse of a few weeks that story about me Is printed In the Western press. The story sounds very much like a Jones ysrn. It Is a piece of fiction. This story says that I need Fielder Jones, and says my greatest success Dummy was saying and nobody cared. Even Dummy's wife made the most of her mate's misfortune, for when Dummy got too obstreperous with his language and "spousle" tired of his tirade she simply turned off the lights. Dummy waa "speechless" then for keeps. To return, however, to the boomerang ball and triple play. Jack Barry, ex-blg lesguer on the Beaver's payroll, must be given credit for the story. "It took place In Montgomery, Ala.. seven years ago, declared Barry, with a shake of his head and one of those innocent-like expansions of the pupil of the left optic "John McGraw had the Giants down there, and Dummy Taylor waa with the club for Spring practice. Dummy was a great pitcher. He taught Mathewson all he knows and forgot more than Matty ever learned. "You remember." said the popular ex-New Yorker, "that Taylor was try ing out his new ball then. He called It a "boomerang.' He could throw it but could never get control of It for more than one Inning at a time. Hav ing seven fingers on his right hand, he could give the ball a double and return twist that made it go to the plate, reverse English and then come back to htm." Jimmy Richardson was all eyes by now. He hsd never heard Jack Barry tell the tale before. "Sometimes," proceeded Barry, "the ball took queer turns. For Instance, it could turn too sharply down and hit the ground In front of the plate, and again It might Jump straight up Into the air like a tip foul. But at the time I am talking about. It cut the queerest caper I ever saw a ball cut. "Big Ike Durrett was at bat. and Ike was like Bosco. he could 'eat 'em alive.'. The bases were full, and so were some of the bleacherltes. It waa the ninth inning and the score was a tie. Taylor had two strikes and three ball on Ike. He was never known to strike out. From my perch In right field I heard Bresnahan shout 'Put the boomerang on the next one, Taylor.' "Taylor did. He wound those seven digits around the spheroid and bent his arm like a figure eight. The ball flew In a spiral curve, straightened out like a plummet when It reached the plate. Ike made a. vicious swing, but never touched the balL It deflected at . an angle of 45 degrees and hit 'kerplunk' Into Fred Tenneys hands. The man on first had started for second, so Tenney touched the bag and threw to second, and the ball was then relayed to third for the most wonderful triple play the world has ever tried to forget." Thus perlsheth the series on "The Grestest Play I Never Saw." Hugh Fullerton please notice. waa due to the fact that Jones made me win. The reverse is true. I made Fielder Jones a name for himself In the baseball world. He came near ruin ing my pitching arm In order to win another pennant in 1903. "I admit Fielder Jones had brains, but he didn't make me a pitcher, and he didn't make me win. I won be cause I hsd the nerve to battle ahead In spite of the handicaps that Jones imposed on me."

Session With San Franc leso Has Strengbtcned Portland's Position at Top of Column Pitchers Are Second to None. BY W. J. PETRAIN. The halfway point In the 1911 pen nant race of the Pacific Coast League was passed some days ago, and the Portland Beavers are out in front by a goodly margin, but not a big enough one to guarantee another champion ship. However, the Beavers' pitching staff Is now second to none in the league, and It does not seem probable that the club, which has so positively routed the San Francisco Seals this week will suffer any material slump which would deprive it ofthe championship honors. But basebalf is a funny game. It Is a difficult matter to predict the outcome of any one contest, let alone a series or succession of them. When the Seals arrived In our back yard last Tuesday, the fans expected some red-hot battles, with the visitors as likely victors In the majority of the games of the series. Instead, the Seals lost the series in consecutive games and the last game of the week is to be played this afternoon. After this game, both teams will depart for Cali fornia, Portland being scheduled to play a week at Los Angeles with the Angels and thence to San Francisco for a seven-day session with the Seals, after which they return to Portland for a period of three weeks. , The series which concludes this afternoon has been fruitful of some stellar and some Indifferent baseball, but the latter does not pertain to the work of the home guard. McCredle's players cinched the series with the Seals by taking chances, and were suc cessful when the breaks came their way at critical times. Timely batting and fine fielding when such was absolutely essential to present the other fellows from scor ing runs, were other factors In giving the Beavers the advantage over the Seals. "Chet" Chadbourne distinguished himself on numerous occasions during this series. It was his trusty willow that put the Seal twlrlers to rout on several of the occasions. While he has not had many outfield chances this week, Chadbourne has been on the Job every minute, and notljTng has escaped his Judgment In the patch guarded by him. Ryan and Krueger have likewise performed brlliantly in the outer patch, and the Infield has been a veritable atone wall In the pinches. Portland's sterling twlrlers have also shown their merit in more ways than one. Time after time they have found themselves In holes, through errors or their own liberality, and have rallied by fanning out opposing batsmen in ticklish situations. With twlrlers like Steen, Seaton. Henderson, Koestner, Henkle and Harkness working in grand form. It does not seem probable that McCredle's team will drop many games. Should the Beavens maintain their win ing gait right along, the only possible chance for them to lose the pennant would be for some one of the contend ing clubs to come through with an ex traordinary spurt. When the Portland team won the pennant in 190S, the Seattle .Club be came a contender about this stage of the race but butting in with a recard of II straight victories. Whether any of the present Pacific Coast League teams can do it cannot be said. The next two weeks will be eagerly watched by the Portland fans. The se ries with the Angels will not open until Wednesday, as the Beavers cannot make the Jump to Los Angeles in time to play the regular Tuesday engage ment. This means that the Beavers will be compelled to play 14 games In 12 consecutive days, as Tuesday's game will be played at Los Angeles on the following Monday, and that night the Portland team will Jump to San Fran cisco to open a seven-game series with the seals on the following Tuesday. With such a strenuous string of games fronting them it Is well that McCredle's pitching staff is in first-class shape for the struggle. POLO NOW ATTRACTIVE PASADENA SPORTDOM TO SEE NEW FIELDS AT CLUB. Burlingame and Coronado Players Are Much Interested in Plans. VanderbilfB Ponies Coming. PASADENA. CaL, July 22. (Special.) Three new polo playing fields are to be constructed at the New Valley Coun try Club here. They will be as fine as experience and money can secure. And the ponies will be housed in sta bles that have cost several thousand dollars. Such are the plans that are now being perfected by enthusiastic members and all the members are enthusiastic of the New Valley Coun try Club. With the new fields and stables com pleted it is expected that between 20 and 30 strings of the finest polo ponies in the East will be brought to Pasa dena, and that each succeeding Win ter will possibly show a larger Influx of Eastern players. The Pasadena players expect to have several new strings of ponies before next Winter. Burlingame and Coronado players are much interested in the Pasadena plans, and their stables will be in Pas adena during the greater part of the season. Conditions are Ideal for polo playing here. It is not necessary to mention the perfect weather, which lasts in variably until after New Years. Every body knows about that. But hotel ac commodations are unequaled any where, and the Winter social life of Pasadena, so much of which can be lived out of doors, appeals to nearly all lovers of polo. Alfred Vanderbllt's famous ponies, now in England, is one string of East ern polo ponies of which Pasadena has already been positively assured for next Winter Statistics recently issued by the super visors of the slaughterhouses at La'VIIIette. a suburb to the north or Paris.

Little or no changes are noticeable in the relative standings of the bats men of the Pacific Coast League for the games played up to last Monday over the percentages of the previous week. Buddy Ryan is still high man of the regulars, being" credited with a slugging percentage of .349, only a few points shy of the mark he has been maintaining for several weeks. All of the sluggers, Maggart, Dan zig, Wolverton, Bernard, Kapps, Ten nant, Powell and Moore, are hitting the ball quite regularly and showing respectable averages for the season. Harry Abies, the Cfeklftnd port-slder. Is leading the twlrlers of the league with a percentage of .769 in 13 games, of which he has won 10..
