to Join Seattle, but as he only spent
two weeks at the achool he played no

Vernon made It four out of five from
the Beavers today and It was largely
due to the way the luck broke.
It was a pretty game and the score
should have been closer than to 3.
but the two errors charged against the
visitors were costly and Hap Hogan's
darlings didn't make a mlsplay. Rapps
threw wild in the third Inning let
ting Braahear score from first. In the
fourth Kodgers Juggled Carlisle's hit
and a moment later Kane tripled scor
ing Carlisle.
Koeatner pitched a good game
throughout, except for the fact that the
11 hits he allowed came when Vernon
wanted them. The Beaver's 11 hits
were scattered so they counted for
little.
Koeatner did his best to redeem him
self by scoring in the third, after lin
ing out a triple. Chad bourne was out
at first. but Bancroft walked and
Krueger doubled, sending home the two
runs. Koestner also got a single In
the seventh, but the top of the bat
ting list fell down and lie died on
second.
In the eighth Krueger tripled and
scored on Rapps' single. One example
of the way the luck broke was In the
seventh when Patterson beat a throw
from second base to third and then
from short to the plate. The score:

LEO V. STRAIT.
STRAIT IS WONDER
Portland Outfielder Has Made
Enviable Record.
1911 WAS BANNER YEAR
Youth Had Poor Start, in Profes
sional Ball, Being; Retired Early
in First Season, but Improve
ment Has Been Steady.
Leo V. Strait, chunky Portland out
fielder, who has concentrated his 182
pounds of bone and brawn against the
ball so effectively that he is the home
run leader of the Northwestern League,
is launched on his fourth year of pro
fessional baseball. This is the third
league he has played in. and as he Is
only 22 years old, figures, at that rate,
to shatter several records if he sticks
to the National pastime.
Strait is one of the greatest training
camp swatters in baseball. He started
in to hit the hide hard and often when
he left his home for Texas in 1909. and
has been keeping It up ever since He
has landed successfully on the shoots
of twlrlers ranging from Christy Math
ewson. the -Big Six" of the New York
Giants, to the phenoms of the busn
towns. ..
This does not mean that Strait is
exclusively a training-camp swatolo
gist, for his batting average of .283 In
the Tri-State circuit last season in
dicates that he is a first-class bats
man when the pennant struggle Is
fiercest- This record, by the way. com
bined with only four errors in 10.
games and a stolen base list of 29,
spoke so glowingly of his prowess that
Walter McCredie was glad to grab him
for his 1912 Beavers and reluctant to
let him go In response to demands that
the squad must be cut down.
Strait's Start Waa Bad.
Strait left his home in Elmlra. N. T,
for Dallas, Tex., in 1909. Ignoring a
chance to play with one of the clubs
near home to accompany a chum to tne
Southland. His debut was a rather dis
astrous one. for he slumped wofully
when the Texas League season com
menced and played only 23 games for
a battaing" average og .189-
The 19-year-old youth then returned
home, signing a York contract in 1910.
He played In 78 games. 62 of them in
the outfield and the others at second
base. He hit .2"55 for the season, muffed
only two files in the gardens, but
trailed the league in fielding at second
cushion with 14 errors in 20 games
But 1911 was his banner year. He
participated in 107 games, all in the
Sutfleld. batted .283. with IS doubles
ven triple, and six homers and stole
29 bases for a ranking of third In the
league.
Six 'Homer.- Earned This Season.
Despite the fact that the husky
youngster has already chalked up six
"homers" this season ""
1111 mark in that division and the sea.
son yet in Its Infancy, he Is batting
?a? below his mark of last year. How
ever, he Is not discouraged, is confl
j, that the slump will "oon be a
fhTg of the past, and that he will be
gin to climb soon, reaching a mark near
"3The Portland left fielder Is not a man
one would pick out to rank third In
Vj.e stealing in a league. He Is a
lumbering aort of chap and cover, his
e"uor"n a manner which force, the
fan to watch him In trepidation until
ha has gloved the ball. He slouches up
xo ill Plate, and while he sets his
broad shoulder, for duty and swings
with whole-heartedness, Mr. Fan
vaguely wonders who is the faster.
Dad " Meek, of Victoria, or Strait, un
til he sees the youngster galvanized
into action and going down to first at
a speed which his appearance belles.

Players Assert That If Matter Is Not
Settled They May Go on "Barn
storming" Trip League
Head Made Target.
PHILADELPHIA. May 18. Baseball
history was made here today when the
players of the Detroit American League
baseball club went on strike and re
fused to play the scheduled game with
the Philadelphia team because Ban
Johnson, president of the league, had
refused to lift the suspension plaoed
against "Ty" Cobb for striking a
spectator in New York.
As a consequence, Philadelphia de
feated a makeshift team, played In the
field by Manager Jennings, 24 to 2.
The Detroit team was made up mostly
of Philadelphia amateur players with
the addition of McGuire and Sugden.
employed by the .Western clvab as
scouts.
The regular Detroit players were at
the ball park, but when they learned
after a short practice that Cobb would
not be permitted to play, they returned
to their hotel.
While the game was being played
they discussed the situation and every
one questioned said he felt that the
suspension of Cobb was an outrage and
thev would stand together.
The players expressed the best feel
ing toward the owners of the Detroit
club, but were outspoken In their
criticism of Mr. Johnson. They said
that If the matter was not settled they
might go on a "barnstorming" trip.
They said they might quit the league
and play exhibition games until the
suspension matter Is settled.
Connie Mack, manager of the Phila
delphia Americans, said tonight De
troit had played a team in the field ac
cording to the rules and that he had
played and won the game. He would
vnot comment further.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the Detroit
players appeared at Shtba Park. The
game was not scheduled to start until
3, but the stands were well filled and
the striking players were cheered.
They left the grounds at 2:30, re
turning in taxlcabs to their hotel.
Jennings was notified, after his men
had practiced a few minutes, that they
would not play, as President Johnson
had refused their request to withdraw
the suspension of Cobb.
Jennings was prepared, and the regu
lar players' uniforms were turned over
to the substitutes, some of whom were
amateurs.
The game was a farce from the start,
the home team batting out bunts and
running bases in reckless fashion. The
Athletics' battery was Coombs and
Lapp. Manager Mack had in his regu
lar line-up.
At the beginning of the fourth Inn
ing, with the score 6 to 0, in favor of
Philadelphia, thousands of spectators
started to leave the park, and there
were demands from them to have their
admission money refunded.

President Johnson appeared grimly
determined to keep Cobb out of the
game until the matter had been fully
Investigated. The matter of the play

reinstated seemed to him to be of sec
ondary consideration. This, he declared,
was a matter for the club-owners to
