McCorry. the Seals' Detroit acqulsl
tion. stopped Portland's1 hitting streak
yesterday, but his wlldness gave the
Beavers four straight by a score of 4
to 1. Klawitter proved no enigma, bat
his unparalleled feat of striking out
three consecutive batsmen with the
oases loaded in the fourth inning, broke
the Seals' backbone and from that on
the fans took more interest in Butch
er's plugging than in the final outcome.
Four Seal players Wohler" Howard,
Hartley and Corhan banged out
singles in a row in that tempestuous
fourth frame, but. odd to relate, Mohler
was the only man to cross t.ie regis
ter. McCredie's warriors had a lead of
tw) runs up to this point, having scor
Ed in second and third lining, so not
a few tightened up on the Joy stun"
when Klawitter began bis execution,
mowing down Wuffli. then Gedeon. a-td
linally Catcher Berry.
Doane and Butcher delivered them
selves of most of the slugging.- Rod
gers. however, drove in the last two
tallies In the fifth Inning with a timely
clout to right field. One of these con
stituted the Beavers' only hard-earned
score of the day, McCorry's very er
.ratic box work figuring largely in the
first two, while Mohler helped swell
the total with an error that permitted
Klawitter to go safe and finally cross
on Kodgers' hit In the fifth.
McCorry Is nothing if not a versatile
young right-hander. The box score to
day proclaims five walks, one wild
pitch, one hit by pitcher, and one
balk, yet the Seal star allowed only
five hits to nine of his opponent.
Portland's initial score came in the
second inning, when Krueger walked
ax first man up and made the circuit
on Butcher's screaming double to left
field. The fans made a fuss over this
because It was Butcher's first hit of the
week. The outfield recruit later added
another pelt to his anaemic collection,
and banged the leather so hard on his
otner two attempts that Left Fielder
Gedeon sent In a subpena for a catch
er's pillow.
Uoane tallied the second Beaver
score in the third inning, tripling to
left center and registering on a wild
pit-h. A more experienced left gar
dener would likely have garnered in
this drive, but when Hartley called for
It Gedeon lagged back and watcned tne
sphere roll almost to .the fence.
Mohler's- low throw on a difficult
chance, a. double by Walter Doane and
Rodgers" single scored the duet in the
fifth. After that McCorry held, the
Beavers under his thumb.
The Beavers seem to be well launch
ed on their boom for vice-presidential
honors in the Pacific Coast league, for
thev have taken four out of five from
the" Seals- and nine of the last twelve
game-u The pitchers are going well
and the batsmen are giving them liu
eral support. No Portland team na
played better ball than the Beavew are
playing right now.-and the knockers
of yester-week have disappeared.

Catcher Berry manipulated a star catch
of a foul against the grandstand In the
eighth inning.
rioane pulled a circus catch of Howard s
long foul fly in the opening inning.
Catcher Burch was not in uniform yes
terdav. complaining of a sick headache.
The popular recruit longs for Texas and is
endeavoring to have McCredle trade him
buck to the Texas league. His wife and
baby reside In the Lone Star State.
Butcher hits the ball a terrific drive when
he meets it squarely. For two weeks be
fore Joining Portland Butcher had loafed
around Chicago, refusing to report to New

LITTLE ONE'S MARK BEST
Clark, 1 50-Pound Youngster of Van
couver, Is Leading Twirler ' of
Jones' Circuit Jfoyes and
James Rank Next.
The Northwestern League boasts of
three young twirlers this season whose
prowess Insures them berths in faster
company-next season. They are James,
of Seattle; Clark, of Vancouver, and
Noyes, of Spokane.
"Big Bill" James, the California pne-
nom, who is In his first season of pro
fessional ball, is the most promising
of the squad and already has been sold
to Boston, along with Bert Whaling,
his teammate. Bob Brown, of Van
couver, expects to close a oeai ior tne
sale of Jimmy Clark, the ex-Washing
ton University heaver, within a few
days, while Bill Noyes. with only one
season of pro nan beninu mm, win
undoubtedly be sold by Joe Cohn, of
Spokane, ere the season is many weeks
older. . -
Little Maw Makes Good.
Clark, the smallest man of the trio,
and thus of the least value from a
selling standpoint. Is the leading
twirler of the Fielder Jones circuit.
with 14 victories and only one
defeat. He broke into the game
last year with Vancouver, and, while
he. looked like a comer, it was not un
til this season that lie showed major
league class. The record of the 150
pound youngster is the most impres
sive of the three, for his team is sev
eral games farther down the percent
age table than Spokane and Seattle,
the clubs of his rivals.
James is the giant of the squad,
weighing 200 pounds and standing wll
over six feet above the mound. .He
looks like Christy Mathewson. accord
ing to those who have watched both
men. He has won 14 games and lost
five.
Noyea Seeoad Beat.
Noyes ranks second in the list, both
as to victories and sixe. He weighs
180 pounds, has better control than
either of the others and has won 12
games and lost two, winning the 12 in
row for tne northwestern League
record. Noyes played with Ottumwa,
of the Central Association, last season.
Joining San Francisco this year and
finally going to Spokane when he
failed to get int.o form In the early
season Coaster games. ,
In the 14 games Clark has worked
in, bis opponents secures 44 runs and
95 hits. Noyes allowed 36 runs and
97 hits in It games, while James was
touched for 66 runs and 131 hits In 24
games. When It is considered that
Clark pitched lis Innings, Noyea 134
and James 160, it will be seen that
Noyes has been harder to score against
than either of the other stellar mound
men.
Grade Schools to Tons Baskets.
Each year the grammar school ath
letic field is being widened, basketball
being the latest sport to go on the
schedule. Last year soccer was added
to the programme of the Junior ath
letes, and this Winter they will have
basketball, besides football, the moBt
popular school sport, and soccer, which
has gained a strong foothold with the
grammar schools.
TRAP EXPERTS TO SHOOT
Portland Meet Attracts Big Enrty
List.
More than 500 gun experts have
declared their intentions of attending
the annual Interstate Association shoot
to be held at Kenton under the direc
tion . of the Portland Gun Club. Au
gust 27, 28 and 29. This will be one
of the biggest trap shoots ever held In
the Northwest.
One of the main attractions will be
the $1500 added money which Port
land has guaranteed for the event. With
the usual money the total prize list
will be well over $5000.
The Portland grounds are now in
the best of shape, being Ideally located
on the shore of one of the big Colum
bia sloughs. Charles Wagner, custo
dian of the grounds, has been clear
ing the underbrush from the place and
all that is left are big branching cotton-woods
which are on the south side
of the grounds. These will keep the
shooters fairly cool and a long roof
has been erected over the handicap
line will keep them dry in case of rain.
Five traps will be in place when the
tournament starts and the events will
be shot in rapid order. About a dozen
different events will be arranged with
big purses in the professional shoots.

SEATTLE, Wash., July 13. (Spe
cial.) In one of the wildest ten in
ning games Imaginable, Seattle man
aged to win from Portland 4 to 3.
McMullin was the hero of the day.
With the score 3 to 1, In favor of
Portland and three men on bases and
two strikes on him, he drove the ball
to the fence between left and center,
scoring two runs, tieing'the game.
Portalnd took the lead in the first
inning, scoring two runs on Fries'
single and Mahoney's homer -over the
left fence.. Concannon steadied down
and held the Colts until the fifth
inning when he hit Veazy and walked
Kibble. Only one man was out and
Raymond yanked him.
Thompson was the rescuer. He dis
posed of the Colts.
Veazy had terrific speed and sharp
benders from the jump. His control
was fine and Seattle went down as If
they did not count in the game. This
went until the fourth when Strait hit,
stole second and scored on Moran's
drive.
A boot and a wild throw by Chick
followed by an out at first let Port
land score their third run of the game
in the sixth, giving them a lead of
two runs. Moran and Chick hit for
a beginning in the sixth. Jackson
shoved them up a point and then
Holdman was sent in to bat for Wally.
He was hit by a pitched ball This
filled the bases. Thompson was then
taken out and McMullin sent In to bats
After getting two strikes he drove the
pill to the left field fence and Moran
and Chick scored.
Fullerton took the reins here and
held Portland safe to the end of "the.
tenth. In the last of the tenth, Shaw
opened with a 'clean double to left.
Raymond dropped the ball dead in front
of the nlate and Shaw made third.

Mensor, Therefore, Must

SECRET DEAL MAY BE ON
Former Colt Will Have to Displace
Wilson, Dontin or Casey to Get
Regular Berth, and All .Are
Hitting Better Than .533.
BT JAMES H. CASSEL.U
"Eddie Mensor, utilty outfielder," is
probably the designation the sensa
tional ex-Portland Colt outfielder and
champion run-getter will assume along
with the Pittsburg Pirate uniform he
will don this week.
iA glance at the personnel of the Pi
rate outfield does not hold forth glit
tering promises of a regular position
for the recruit, for in Wilson. Donlin
and Carey the Pirates have an outfield
combination which does not seem to be
threatened with immediate disintegra
tion. The latest available figures show
that Wilson and Carey have figured In
all games of the season, with the for
mer batting .333 and the latter. ..297.
Donlin is battling well over .400, but
has not played in as many games as
his garden pals. Carey seems to be the
speed marvel of the trio, stealing near
ly 20 bases. '
Donlln's Actions Uncertain.
The real reason for the hurry-up call
SEASON'S RECORD.,
. uiiuu CKVTRR FIELDt HAR-
viuiuisJ-a. iiua wuhau
for Mensor seems to be the uncertainty
of Mike Donlln's actions and the failure
of Artie Hofman. ex-Cub outtieiuer,
and Edington, the Southern recruit, to
perform up to the major league stand
ards.
Hofman. who figured in the deal
whereby he and Cole went to Pittsburg
In exchange for Leifleld and Beach. Is
unfit for duty, and reports from the
Pirate camp indicate that he is a phys
ical wreck and will not be able to piay
another game this season. Edington
was used during the absence of Donlin
on account of the severe illness of his
wife, whose stage name Is Mabel Hlte.
But Donlin is back In the game once
more, is hitting like a fiend and play
ing a much better game now that the
burden of worry has been lifted, and
Mensor seems doomed to the substitute
role and that of batter for derricked
twirlers, unless a deal is on of which
few are cognizant.
Salary Is Exceptional.
When Mensor signed a contract call
ing for a yearly salary of 2100 -he was
favored as few Class a leaguers are
who graduate into the ranks of the.
"higher ups.'
The usual salary of a recruit from
leagues of the Fielder Jones classifica
tion, unless the man be a sensational
twirler. Is from 11500 to $1800 for the
six months' season. When the majors
part with sums ranging from $3000 to
$5000 for a player they usually force the
embryonic star to be content with little
nore than the regulation 25 per cent
salary advance over his minor league
stipend.
The 2100 salary is a figure to which
Portland fan's are accustomed, "Buddy"
Ryan, Bill Steen and other Beaver
graduates signing contracts calling for
that salary. However, Mensor reacneu
that level without the Intermediate step
of the Pacific Coast League, and thus
ranks above the otner ortianaers.
Colt Manager Superstitious.
That baseball players have not out
grown superstition was demonstrated
during the Portland-Vancouver diamond
series of week before last, when a
squad of "bushers" figured prominently
in Colt victories and defeats.
On July 4, the day the Colts lost a
double-header to Rob Brown's Canadian
Beavers, two aspiring youngsters oc
enpied the Portland bench. They were
singled out as the Colt hoodoo and
ehaaed from the bench on Friday.
With the game well in hand In the
ninth Inning, one of the unlucky Indi
viduals took his seat on the Colt bench
and a batting rally started which sent
one Vancouverlte across the plate ana
Dlaced the game in Jeopardy.
Nick Williams promptly cast his eye
over to the bench, noticed the foreign
face, had him removed, and a double
nlav retired the side and gave the
Portlanders a victory.
Brown to Remodel Park.
When Bob Brown was here he made
several careful Inspections of the
Vaughn-street plant with an eye
towards adopting such improvements
as met his approval in his new park
which will be started this Fall.
The Vancouver owner has Becured a
26-year lease on a piece of property
420x500 feet within a six-minute ride
of the heart of Vancouver. He will
erect a grandstand and bleacher this
Fall with a seating capacity or lo.yuu,
and lay out a grass infield and outfield
to rival anything on the Pacific. coast.
"It isn't necessary to have a park
with the seating capacity of the Port
land grounds," said Brown, "for we
seldom have vthe big crowds one sees
here. The attendance is regular, rang
ing from 1500 to 8000, which makes the
park a better-paying proposition man
one where the week-day crowd is small
and the Sunday turnout so large."
Brown expects to lease his park for
La Crosse and Rugby games, deriving
a revenue which will give the ball team
grounds with practically no expense.
, - Ruga Face Real Test.
The mettle of the Seattle Potlatch
Bugs will be tried severely this week
when Tealey Raymond takes his squad
to Vancouver for a tussle with the
1911 champions. The status of Seattle
in the pennant race will largely be de
termined by the showing made against
the Canadians.
While Seattle is at Vancouver, the
Portland Colts will take another crack
at the Spokane Indians on the Red
skins' lot. They lost all but one game
in the last series at Spokane, and Wil
liams hopes to break even this trip.
The trailers, Tacoma and Victoria,
play a series at Victoria and Seattle,
with the cellar championship the pros
pective goal of the loser.

ANDREWS-WILDER
TEAM GOES NORTH
Irvington Club - Picks Repre
sentatives to Interna-
tional Play.
BOTH MEN EXPERIENCED
Challenge Issued to Vancouver Clnl,
to I'luy for Starr-Hcynoltls-Starr
Trophy After Vic
toria Tourney.
BT RALPH H. M1TC1TEI.T..
With F. H. V. Andrews and Rtrharo
("Dick") Wilder as the chosen te:ini
new men, though experienced at the
game of tennis, will be seen as repre
sentatives of the Irvington Club In the
North Taciflc International tournament
to be held at Victoria, opening July 2!'.
Not only will Andrews and Wilder
be seen In the International, but they
will represent the Irvington club also
in a challenge sent the Vancouver, H.
C, club to play for the Starr-Reynolrts-Starr
trophy, now held by the Canadi
ans. This latter play, providing the
challenge is accepted, will take place
after the International Is closed.
Recently the Victoria club challenged
the Vancouver holders of the trophy,
but the Vancouver men proved too clev
er for the challengers, and maintained
their hold on the cup, a Portland pre
sentation for the benefit of Inter-club
play in the North Pacific Association.
Strong Team Picked.
That Andrews and Wilder will show
up strong against all opponents In the
International is a foregone conclusion.
Both men have long been in the game,
know every trick of the court and work
together In almost perfect style as a
team.
Owing to the non-appearance, ot
Ralph Gorrlll this year, the famous
team of Wiekersham and Ciorrlll was
broken. Gorrlll last week telegraphed
from California that he would be un
able to piny this year in the Oregon
state, but no definite word has been
received as to his appearance on the
northern courts at all tills season.
Since Immediate action was neces
sary that the contesting team, to be
sent by the club, should be made,
known that it might get as much prac
tice as possible, the choice was defi
nitely made last night.
Multnomah Team I nknowu.
Chairman Wakeman has not yet
named the Multnomah Club team and
no action may be taken before tlie
Oregon state finals have been played,
though it has been rumored that Wiek
ersham and Goss will he the cluljs
representatives this year.
Though Goss has not been seen on
the tennis court a great deal in the
past two or three years, he has again
taken up the racquet and has played
several matches with Wiekersham re
cently. In 1900 and ISOfi Goss was state
champion and was playing a wonderful
game and In 1905. 190B and 1907, paired
with D. S. Bellinger. Wiekersham was
the doubles state champion, the sanio
