Two Wild Pitches and Single. Is .What Northwestern Leaguer Does In Brief Time in Box Kuhn Makes Rim SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2 (Special) Portalnd. one run and two nits Oakland, no runs and three hits. That's the kind of a ball game we aaw at Recreation ra.ru mis aiternoon a pitchers' battle of class A type, with the Beavers barren of anything In the nature of a hit until the very ninth, when Kuhn's double to left and Lindsay's single through John Flater to center gave the Oregonlans the one run that meant so much to them. It certainly didn't look to be pitchers' contest In the first Inning. Flater showed the only lack of control that he exhibited when he walked two men as a starter, but he got out of his trouble without a run. And Lam line, the Beaver recruit from the North western Leasrue. couldn't locate the rubber. He allowed one single, walked three, men and had two wild pitches charged up against him. Luckily for the northern aggregation that .display of wildness did no more than fill the bases with one man down. It was enousrh for McCredie, however, and when Lamline started to walk Zacher, Speck Harkness, seen In Coast League harness In this city lor the first time in two years, finished out the Inning and somehow or other got away without letting a score get across. This was the one bright and glow ing opportunity for the Commuters, and when they had passed that ses sion they found Harkness as unbeatable as Flater proved up to the closing in nlng.v Two hits were all the ex-Cleve lander allowed his opponents, and with fielding that was perfect, he let Just one man reach second base. It couldn't be called sensational ball that was played, but this was chiefly because the pitchers made the boys hit the ball up In the air where It was easily fielded. The wlndup was a speedy bit of work. Kuhn. leading off . for Portland, 'dropped a nice two-bagger Into left field. Harkness tried for a sacrifloe, but was fanned. Chadbourne grounded to Cutshaw to help the catcher along a base 'and Lindsay, one of the most dangerous hitters on the Portland team, slammed the ball right through Flater to center field. Peckinpaugh distinguished himself with a rattling good stop when he threw Coy out in the last of the ninth, and after that it was easy. Portland I Oakland ah.H.'Po.A.E. Ata.H.Po.A.E.

BALL PARK SIGNED UP M'CREDIE LEASES OM) SITE FOR TEX YEARS. Magnate Promises That Xew Stand and Bleachers Will Replace Pres ent ' Poor Accommodations. Portland's Coast and Northwestern league baseball park Is to remain in its present location. Ex-Judge Mc Credie. president of . the two clubs, signed a 10-year-lease with the Port land Railway, Light Power Company yesterday and immediately after the end of the season here work will begin n a new plant, , . "The present unsightly stands will be rased and new wooden and concrete seating conveniences added," said the local mogul last night "Wooden bleachers will be - built , completely around the park and by extending the fences farther out no encroachment need be made on the present field." Fear of competition in the - trans portation of the ' crowd to and from the grounds acquired by the McCre dtes in the south end of the city last Fall, led the traetion officials to make concessions in the lease, for hereto fore one year has been the limit- that could be .contracted for. ' STAR FLV CHASER, WHO IS SCHEDULED FOR ADVANCEMENT. PETTIGREW IS FIND ' OF HICK OUTFIELD Western League Prck-Up Long j Eager to Play Ball on ;' Pacific Coast. BEAVERS MAY SEIZE HIM "Petty" Broke Into Game as Hurler; Trot .Xiftlness With Club Gained Him Regular JobWhy 'Chick' Gandll Failed Is Told. ' When .Nick Williams cast his net for material to bolster up his outfield he gave Ned Pettlgrew, a long-sought op portunity of star gazing in Oregon. For the "pet" of the Roadsters had tried every honorable means for the last two years to affix his signature to a Coast club contract. So. vliAn h w Informed by the Wichita management that a deal had been closed whereby he was transferred to the local juniors, bis heart leaped with gratification, and it was a well pleased ; ball player who hopped off tbe train at Portland. -' And Nick 7 Oh. he's plenty satisfied, too.. In fact, he is afraid he will have to part with hts Western League find. "Tis open rumor that Walter McCredie has looked with favorable eye upon the speedy left fielder, and it is almost cer tain that he will get a try with the Beavers in Spring training camp next year. '. Naturally Pettlgrew has heard this. Asked what he thought of. his chanoes, he replied In his 'droll, soft Southern voice that "he guessed he would stick If given a trial." He 'sort of takes It for granted that he can do almost any thing he tries, and his performance with the Roadsters indicates that he. is striv ing mighty bard to land with the high er class league. "Petty" Clings to High Ones. . Pettlgrew, if you listen to the ex perts, is high, up among the class of the Northwestern outfield. ..He has been In the league less than three months, and during that time has shown stellar ability in the field. His Judgment of the oloud-bursters is perfeot, and his speed at getting in to the low llners-l has been a revelation. "Petty" comes far from being anoth er Ping Bodle, but unlike the chubby North Beach White Box he can be re lied upon to produce a hit when one is needed. He has improved in his batting and at present is hitting around .176. Base running is also an asset of .the former ."witch." His fleetneas of foot and his exoellent baseball judgment stand him in good stead, and there are very few times that he pulls off any B. H. stunts on the paths. ' Like a number of other outfielders, Pettlgrew broke Into professional base ball as a hurler .of mysteries. After pitching sensational ball for various independent teams about Guthrie, Okla., he embarked on his career as a real diamond star. His hitting- proved too valuable, however, and he was soon PACinCUJOAST LEAGUE STARS WHOSE NAMES transferred to the garden. Here he im mediately displayed signs of develop ing into big league timber, and kept rapping the ball safely when hlngles meant runs. . . ''. '' . - Pettlgrew stayed three seasons with the Guthrie club and was then sold to Wichita. His first year In the West ern League he hit .263, the second .305, and last season he pounded the pill for en average of the same else as his 180J accomplishment. Gandll's Weakness Found Out. Remember "Chick" Gandil, , don't you? He's the lad who used to. tear the cover off the ball In the Coast League a couple of seasons back and do great things around tbe Initial cor ner for the Senators. The ball used to leave "Chick's" bat like a shot Out of a cannon, and lh Iris year in the Coast League he got more hits through tbe Infield than any other two players. Of course, every fan on the. Pacific Slope thought he would make good when he went with Comtskey's Whlto Sox. It was quite a blow to their in telligence to see, him transferred to Montreal of the Eastern League. Pet tlgrew supplies the reason. - "Gandil was hitting the ball so hard that everyone said he would be a won der In the American .League," said "Petty." "We tlrbught so, too, after we saw him swat the Wichita twirlers. For a few weeks he baffled the big brush artists and clouted their best bets to the far end of the field. It wasn't long, howeverj before they caugrht on to his weakness. It Is almost impos sible for 'Chick' to hit a curve on the outside corner, and when the big leaguers found out this they, had him south. "From a fat average of more tban .300 he soon'dropped to less than .100. There is no doubt in my mind, though, that Gondii will eventually overcome his weakness, and when he does, he Is go lng to lead the whole bunch with tbe bat." Pettlertfw says that the reason Den ver is so far out in- front in the West ern League race Is that the owners of the club are not afraid to spend a little money to sret a good team. He de clares that the Colorado town has the class of the league and deserves to win BASEBALL IN EPITOME fx Leagues) at a Glaae, Pacdflo Coast. ' I Korthwestem. W. L. P.C. W. L. P.O.

' No decision with reference to chang ing Monday's forenoon and afternoon games to a double-header has been reached, but ex-Judge McCredie favors two in the afternoon, and if the switch can be made under the league rules, fans will probably have the benefit of the consolidation. Tacoma and Seattle are virtually tied in the race for third ' and fourth places now, approximately five games ahead of Portland. Next week Tacoma and Seattle meet in a clash for su premacy, and as Portland hooks up with Victoria, it would be not at all surpris ing to pee the Roadsters in third place one week from today. , , - 1 "I don't care where we finish if we can just rub it into Seattle this com ing week," rhapsodized George Shreed er, of the Tigers, last night. "This new second sacker, who, by the way, cap tained the Rock Island (Three-Eye League) club for three years, should greatly strengthen the club, and I am expecting to take the series from the Giants." - From, present indications Vancouver should walk off with the pennant without serious opposition. Spokane is playing good ball, however, and a tem porary break In luck might send the Cohn "dark horses" under the wire ahead.
