The unbelievers who claim McFar

when Packey boxed Jack Ooodman In

weighed In at 11I pounde at S o'clock.
And the weight called for waa Hi at

Mmmy Kelly, manager of Ooodman
and at one ttma one of tha cleverest
featherweights In the profession, la a
great believer In McFarland. Tha man

"McFarland ran easily do 133 pounds

makes a match with him and allows
Mac to weigh a few hours before ring

TALE IS MARVELOUS ONE
Storm Stop Pirate-Giant Game,
but Spectators See Infield Be
come Hearing Ocean in
Twinkling of Eye.
Tomes that, if stacked tog-ether,
would fill a Carnegie library, have
been written about the "most wonder
ful" pitchers, batsmen, fielders, and so
forth, of baseball's many such. Like
wise have the "greatest" plays on the
diamond been carefully chronicled. But
here Is a little departure from the cut-and-drted
freaks that have happened
within a ball yard fence and appealed
to tha fan as the "greatest 'play' he
ever saw."
when a seafaring man an old head
at the game arises to say that the
greatest play of the elements he ever
aaw waa staged on a ball field, it is
an occasion for the soft pedaL But
such waa the story told by Captain
Henry Peterson, master of the good
ship Carlos, In a fanning bee on board
his vessel In a recent trip from San
Diego to Portland. The talk drifted
to marvelous feats by ballplayers
when the captain sprung this:-
"It was In the early part of the 1910
season, when the New Tork Olants
and the Pittsburg Pirates were having
a aeries on the Polo Grounds that
this big wind broke loose. It was
the last game of the series, and. de
spite an overcast sky, about 15,000
people had turned out. But If the

A glance at the pitching records
show3 that Willis has dropped a bit
in the last two weeks, since pitching
figures were published, while Wiggs
managed to keep on winning. Engle's
victories the last two times out put
him back close to the top and above
Willis. It is interesting to note that
the leading pitchers are all three vet
erans of many leagues rated faster
than the Northwestern.
By virtue of 13 drives over the Seat
tle fence. Bues leads the league also In
point of long-distance hitting, with 68
extra bases. Add 58 to Bues' number
of hits and his extra base average, in
proportion to times at bat, is .624.
Incidentally, watch out for Lou Nor
dyke. The 1910 batting champion has
been coming up by leaps and. bounds
lately, pegsrlng along with one, two
and three licks every daj'. Earlier In
the season Lou was barely hanging on
to the .250 class. In his last 25 games
Nordyke has batted safely at least
once in all but two, has made 35 hits
for an average of .400. He Is within
shooting distance of the leaders right

to farm him out to soma minor league

Rader has played steady and brilliant

there seems little doubt of his leca
lng the clubs. at the finish. Hans Wag
ner leads in the National League.
If Neal Ball had reported to Port
land this Spring and were on the Mo
Credle lineup, there would be nothing
to the Coast League race but the
Beavers. Ball's only failing in the big
league has been his hitting, but this
season the hero of triple play, fame is
clouting at the remarkable clip of .331.
Gus Fisher has fallen to .261 and
does not appear among the leaders.
Olson and Bodle are still close up to
the .300 mark. The latest averages follow:

FIGHT GAME QUIET
San Francisco Out of Such Ac
tivity as Is Seen.
CLARK'S PLANS GO AWRY
Gossip Has It He May Take Bout
Between Flynn and Morris as a
Forlorn Hope Coffnth Is
Temporarily Inactive.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 22. (Special.) .
We have been viewing the fighting
game, or rather the gossip, through a,
long-distance telescope, the past week,
rather an unusual proceeding in San
Francisco. The fighters have left us for
the time being, and even the talk of
prospective matches in San Francisco
has to come from the East. Jimmy Cof
froth, one of the promoters, is enjoy
ing a Summer outing at Lake Tahoo.
and Milton T. Clark is conducting his
negotiations through Tom O'Day, who
went East for that purpose. .
Clark's plans for a September match
have failed to land, so far as we know.
He wanted Matt Wells and Packey Mc
Farland, but that bout fell through.
Then he figured on Knockout Brown as
a suitable opponent for Freddie Welsh,
but so far as known there has coma
from Brown no word of an acceptance.
It has been hinted that Clark might
finally decide to take the bout between
Jim Flynn and Carl Morris, the white
hope of Oklahoma. That bout for the
near heavywe'ght championship has
been homeless since the Governor of
Oklahoma put down his foot, and thera
Is nowhere, apparently, for it to land.
It certainly cannot be considered a
big match for San Francisco, although
it would probably attract a world of
attention becausa of the advertising
that has come to Morris. I presume
the fighters are highly inflated be
cause of this publicity and demand mora
than the card is really worth.
However, it will be better than no
match at all, and at the rate that Clark
is proceeding I wouldn't bo surprised
to have him make an announcement to
that effect very shortly.
Coffroth Is Inactive.
Jimmy Coffroth is taking no steps, so
far as the newspaper fraternity has
been informed, but the chances are that
he is lying for Billy Papke and Frank
Klaus for the August date. Papke Just
arrived In New York last Wednesday
night. Ho hurried to his Illinois homo
but has been matched with Sailor
Burke for some night next week in
New York.
The Eastern sporting critics are de
claring that Papke is the recognized
middleweight champion of tha world,
but the Joke of the thing is Papke has
declared that henceforth he will recog
nize the English middleweight limit of
160 pounds, instead of 158 pounds, as
in this country. That means ho has
been putting on weight since he first
went to Australia. Klaus, who weighs
less than 158 pounds, would probably
have to concede that slight advantage
to Papke, because the Illinois man is
so well thought of as the champion.
It would make a corking good drawins:
card, although Papko will want to be
well paid to come this far West for a
match on such short notice.
McFarland Matches Watt.
Packey McFarland looked the first of
the week as If he had cinched two good
matches for September, but later re
ports indicated that there were war
clouds on the horizon. The Wells match
was presumably signed and delivered,
but at the last moment, George Mc
Donald, acting for Wells, Insisted on
the right to name the manager, and
also wanted different financial induce
ments. ,
Then came the Wolgast proposition.
Wolgast wanted $14,000 to fight ten
rounds with the Chicago stockyards boy
in Milwaukee, but finally said that ho
would tane 50 per cent and let Packey
have 25 per cent. The Chlcagoan went
up In arms at this and insisted tnat he
must have at least 30 per cent for hi.
end or there would be no bout, so at
this writing it Is hard to say Just what
will be done.
Freddie Welsh ha3 dropped from
sight temporarily. The Welshman is
at Venice, in Southern California, along
with his sister, and is taking a good
rest, preparatory to getting Into shape
for the Wolgast bout in November.
That match looks to bo a certainty.
Wolgast has accepted the terms and
can't draw out of his agreement with
any credit to himself.
Eddie Smith, the well-known Oak
land referee, is under the weather. Ed
die has been bothered with stomach
trouble, and got up out of a sick bed
last week to take the Los Angeles trip
to referee the Kllbano bout. It was
evidently a bad move, for he Is once
more In the hospital, and his condition
is Baid to ba none too hopeful.

FIRST AUTO REACHES RI3S
Medford Man Bucks Snowdrifts on
' Crater Lake Trip.
MEDFORD. Or., July 22. (Special.)
After bucking snow drifts for half a
mile. Jack Morrill, of Medford, drove
the first car to the rim of Crater Lake
yesterday. Several cars have tried to
make the ascent before but failed to
reach the rim by a quarter of a mile.
An automobile can now reach the
rim of the lake in a day from Medford,
as the snow is melting rapidly. Tele
phone lines opening up communication
with the Government camp at the lake
have been repaired. The Influx of
tourists from all over the state and
California has begun and every day
now cars drive into Medford and pre
pare for the long climb to the volcanic
lake.
