BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
For eight innings yesterday Portland
and Vernon battled In a spectacular
1-to-l affray, but In the ninth a break
in the Beavers' defense, coupled with
some terrific pinch hitting by the
Tigers, gave Hogan his third consecu
tive victory this week and clinched the
series.
Score 4 to 1
It was a distinctly hard game to lose
because Higginbotham had pitched.
marvelous ball up to the climax. He
had been stung for only three hits, two
of which, bunched in the third frame
in conjunction with a questionable de
cision at second by Umpire McCarthy,
gave the Vernons the tielng run.
Fotr Hits I'pset Hopes,
But the ninth inning rally over
shadowed the afternoon's joyride. and,
when the slugging Tigers consented to
let up, their four hits had driven three
poisoned javelins through the local
hopes.
Brashear, the Hogan captain, started
the jubilee, with one man out, smglln
sharply to right field. Bayless followed
with a single to center. Litschi made
the second out on an Infield fly and
then Burreil. the dark-skinned San
Jose lad who has broken up many
game this season, hit over second ba!
scoring Brashear.
This was the winning tally, but
Bayless also romped across when
Krueger threw over Lindsay's head
at third base. Agnew added to th
series of sonorous thuds by a doubl
into left center bringing in the third
and final run.
Pitching; Honors Divided.
Krueger atoned for his slip by bang'
lng out his second hit in the latter
portion of the Inning but Brackenridge
was In excellent tettie ana tne visit
lng defense proved impregnable. Hi
glnbotham and Brackenridge allowed
seven hits apiece.
Inability to take advantage of op
portunitles was what cost the Beavers
the game for they had men on second
and third on numerous occasions. But
then, for that matter, so did Vernon and
It took sensational fielding by Kappa,
Rodgers and Higginbotham to save the
score sheet two or three times.
Portland made its lone tally in the
first Inning and only a break in the
luck kept another run from shooting
across, for the Beavers drove out three
singles besides securing a walk. Chad
bourne was on the receiving end of
the alibi, finding himself unable to
dodge a hurtling drive through short
by Lindsay. As a result he was cauea
out making the second.
Krueger'a Hit Scores Lindsay.
Rodgers then walked, putting Lind
say on the keystone sack and Krueger's
single to center brought Lindsay across
the plate, t lsher went out to nosp.
Vernon ran in the tleing run In the
third inning. With two down Carlisle
singled to left field and stole second.
From the stand It appeared as though
he was clearly out, Rodgers making a
neat one hand catch and tag. Carlisle
scored from this advanced position on
Kane's single to center.
From that on to the ninth innin
Higginbotham did not allow a hit, and
Brackenridge was JuBt about as
miserly.
Koestner will pitch the final game
of the series today, opposing either
Hltt or Dollle Gray. The score:

Votes of the Game.
Butcher was out in uniform again but
warmed the bench. He essayed a pinch
hilttna- stunt in the ninth for Bancrolt.
Fisher led off with a double in the fourth
inning and was sacrificed to third by Ban
croft, but there ne died.
Rappa and Higginbotham monopolized the
putouts and assists In the sixth Inning, ena
ins the stanza by a superb play on a hard
lilt ball past first bass by Bayless. Hlggln-
botnsm coverea tne osg ana snut oil
run by his quick thinking.
Brashear could not account for the er
ror charged against him In Friday's game.
1 he bobble occurred In the ninth Inning
when somebody forgot to cover second on
rmsne's steal. Lindsay, a dead left field
hitter, was at bat. so Brsshear could natur
ally be expected to cover the second sta
tion. Poane was credited with a steal and
Brsshear for sn error when he gslloped on
around to third.
The rules plainly say:
"If a base runner advances a base through
failure of a baseman to cover a throw, the
latter shall be charged with an error and
not the man who made the throw. If this
hsppens at second base the scorer shsll
determine whether the shortstop or second
baseman shsll be charged with the error.

of Its own bad work In the box and
the hard hitting of Oakland. McCorry.

the blame for the 8 to 0 score, since
he allowed eight hits in four Innings

Meet on Tuesday.

NEW AGREEMENT IS UP
Hogan Says He Believes Beavers
Mill Land In First Division Be
fore Long Stelger Will
Play With Colts.
President Al Baum, of the Pacific
Coast Baseball League, has called a
special session of the officers and di
rectors for Tuesday, July 23, and W.
W. McCredle, president of the Port
land club, will leave for San Fran
cisco tonight '
Neither McCredle nor Hogan, who
also received notification, know what
Baum has to spring, but it likely is
the question of tne new National
agreement which has nobbed up again,
with the minor leagues squabbling
among themselves over the draft
schedule.
The three class A A leagues Pacific
Coast, International -and American As
sociation want a fixed price, the
same as confirmed at San Antonio, but
now the lower minors want a more
liberal schedule. The arbitration board
met last week at Syracuse, N. T., but
evidently did not reach an agreement.
The prices desired by the class AA
barons are: For class A draft, $1000;
for class B, $750; class C, 1600, and
class D, $400.
s
"Happy" Hogan, the able Vernon
manager, believes that the Portland
Beavers ultimately will land In the
first division. Said he last night?
"Portland Is the only club which has
gained on us during the past couple
of months, and McCredle's jump Is
something like SO points. That alone
is significant. My boys are enjoying a
batting bee just now, but I hardly hope
for them to continue the present clip.1
Heinle Stelger, ex-Bearer southpaw,
will not appear in a Tacoma uniform
after all. Although released to the
Northwestern Tigers, the popular port
slder refused ts report, so, at Nick
Williams' behest, was turned over the
the Portland Northwestern Colts.
s s
Bill Speas. Colt outfielder. Is back in
Portland convalescing from 4 sick spell.
He says Nick can use a twlrler of
Steiger's ability to good advantage.
Hogan denies San Francisco reports
that he has released Pitcher Jimmy
Whale.
"I don't know where they get that
dope,' said he. "You don't suppose I'd
trot him away up north to Portland
before giving him a release, do you?
Whalen has not been pitching because
he has some ailment of the throat."
Fielder Jones, president of the North
western legue. plans a trip to Spo
kane a weea from Monday. He has
not paid an official visit to the home
of the Indians this season, but will take
a peek at the Indian-V"u"ar series.
Joe Cohn, of Spokane, reports that at
tendance is much better than earlier
the season.
s
Jlmmle Toman, who has not been
seen in action by Portland fans this
season, will umpire the two weeks
home stop of the Portland Colts, com
mencing a week from tomorrow.
"One of the best judges of balls and
strikes In the game, declared a Pitts

Portland Colt outfielder, secured four
passes In the double header celebrating
his first appearance In Pirate garb,

fined Gilligan 12b the other day.
Harry Abies, eccentric Oakland slab'
ster, claims . credit for giving Tris
Speaker, famous Red Sox outfielder, his
first real baseball job. Abies was pitch
ing for Dallas, of the Texas League,
when Speaker, a farmer youth of that
section, approached him with an appeal
for assistance in securing a job. Tris
aspired to pitch, but when he was
landed on for 17 hits and 12 runs in
his first game he was ouLof a job for
a time, but finally landed with Hous
ton, where his stick work was ap
preciated. a s
Detroit writers are sweet on Oscar
Vltt, ex-Seal, as a third basemanr He
was tried out in the outfield, and then
switched to second, but finally Hughey
Jennings placed him at third, where
he found himself in his natural posi
tion once more.
Bunny Pearce, released by Oakland
this Spring, has found a home with In
dianapolis. The backstop was signed
by Louisville, went to Montreal, of the
International League, and was just
traded to the American Association
Club.

BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Portland has an lnflelder wearing
Pacific Coast League uniform who
must have a great deal of sympathy
for the fix in which "Lemon" Mar
quard, of New Tork. found himself a
year or two ago. Bill Lindsay, Beaver
third sacker, is the player in mind.
Marqifard, It will be recalled, was
purchased by the Giants from Indian
apolis for $11,000 and much was ex
pected of him. But, Just as the fans
began to look for another Matheweon,
the young southpaw failed.' He proved
dismal disappointment and Ten
Thousand Dollar Lemon" was about
the most polite sobriquet applied to
him.
This year Marquard justified Mc-
G raw's perception by setting a world's
record of 19 consecutive victories.
Just as Marquard has "come back,'
so has Bill Lindsay. One month ago
McCredle was so disgusted with the
Southerner that he publicly proclaimed
his Intentions of shipping him back to
Cleveland to be disposed of to some
minor league club. Bill was not hit
ting, and as Is quite usual was not
fielding when base hits were scarce.
Work la Consistent.
Now. Bill Lindsay is playing remark
able ball for Portland. He is among
the league's most consistent batsmen.
leading the Portland squad with an
average around the .320 mark. In ad
dition, he is fielding the difficult third
base position in excellent style, and
the way he is going there isn't a more
valuable third sacker in the league.
Last Fall, when Lindsay was shipped
Westward from New Orleans to fill
the vacancy created by Rodgers' In
jury, he "burned" up the circuit, to use
the vernacular. Consequently he was
expected to be a dependable in 1912.
And. without a doubt. Manager Mc
Credle nursed a well-grounded sus
picion all through those trying days
this Spring that Bill would "come
back," just as he has done. Otherwise
Mac would never .-have shoved him In
the lineup at frequent Intervals along
the highway, as he did all through the
first 15 weeks of the plowing.
Without a doubt nobody felt the
stigma of mediocrity any more than
Lindsay himself. A -college graduate,
he must have sensed keenly the "pan
ning" by the local fans when he failed
to live up to expectations. But Bill kept
his thoughts to himself and struggled
with might and main to put himself
Into the best physical condition. ' He
showed the nerve that Is real nerve.
Lindsay's attitude contrasts sharply
with that assumed by one or two oth
ers of Mac's fallen Idols.
Rodgera Lone Temper.
Captain .Rodgers at second base was
subjected to even more severe excor
iations by the bleacherltes than Lind
say, because, as the newly elected cap
tain, more was expected of him. But
Rodgers went all to piece when the
sporting writers. In reviewing the up
sets of the season, called attention to
the fact that he was not playing up
to 1911 form.
Rodgers stewed and fretted and wor
ried over the reports for weeks and
even threatened personal violence.
Rodgers, like Lindsay, is now playing
good ball, but he would likely show
even better form if he would stop to
consider that sporting writers are at
the ball field to tell what really hap
pens, not either unnecessarily to knock
or unnecessarily to boost any individ
ual player.
But to return to Lindsay. Bill prob
ably holds the American record for
membership In pennant-winning teams
within a given period. In four seasons
Lindsay has been with five pennant
winners. In 1908 he was with Sumpter
In the Carolina League, and finished
the year with Norfolk in the Virginia
League. Both captured first prizes.
Doane and Lindsay "Pals."
In 1909 he remained with Roanoke,
and again the club finished In first
place, slumping to second In 1910. Last
season Lindsay began with New Or
leans, but was shunted out to Portland
late in the campaign, at the solicita
tion of McCredle. New Orleans won
the Southern League pennant and Port
land the Pacific Coast League gonfa
lon, thus completing the set of five
blue ribboners in four seasons.
Lindsay was very much surprised
last Spring to hear that Walter Doane
had been shifted to Portland, for it
recalled to him an Incident that oc
curred back on the Atlantic Slope In
1909.
That Spring Lindsay was coaching
the college nine at Guilford College.
Greensboro, N. C. Incidentally, al
though a professional, he played in
right field. Walter Doane, Portland
outfielder, was at that time attending
Delaware State College, and It so hap
pened that Delaware took a jaunt
southward to meet the hated rival.
The teams appeared upon the college
green that fateful afternoon, but, when
Lindsay steered his footsteps to the sun
field, the visitors put forth a terrific
wall, finally refusing to play until the
"professional" was excommunicated
from the playing area.
'I withdrew, of course, said Lind'
say. yesterday, with a laugh, as he
reviewed the old days. "We finally
won out, anyway. In the ninth inning
Dy tne score or z to l.
es. I know you did." interjected
Doane. a party to the gossiping. "But
I'll tell you something you didn't know.
Delaware State bad a 'ringer' pitching
ror her that day. His name was Gus
Slllery and he afterwards twirled in
the Connecticut State League."
Then both Beaver stars joined In a
good, hearty laugh.

Oregon's three Olympic games en

and Walter McClure. together with Bill
Hayward, Oregon University trainer,
who looked after the Western athletes
at Stockholm, will return home about
August 6.
The Finland, the steamer which con
veyed the United States victors to
Stockholm, Is due in New Tork July 29.
The four men probably will stay in New
York a day or two and then leave to
gether for Portland by the Canadian
Pacific Railroad.
No special reception plans are being
made for the squad, but the men will
be met at the train by a throng of
friends and admirers.
Clnb Officials Not Dissatisfied.
While Hawkins, third in the high
hurdles, was the only one of the trio, all
sporting the Winged "M" of Multno
mah Amateur Athletic Club, to add i
point to the United States total, the
club officials are not dissatisfied with
the results. Bellah, palpably out of
condition, dropped out of the pole vault
competition at 12 feet Shi Inches, five
men topping the bar higher than he
did. McClure finished second In bl
trial heat of the 1500-meter run, but
could do no better than eighth in the
finals.
In- the pole vault Bellah beat Coyle,
who tied with him and Cook for the
National championship at Pittsburg last
year, but Babcock, the Stockholm win
ner, lost to Bellah at the same meet
ing. Fred Kelly, the Southern California
lad who won the 110-meter high hur
dles, registered his second victory over
Martin Hawkins at Stockholm, but the
men are still tied so far as victories
are concerned. Hawkins beat Kelly In
two Pacific Coast college conference
meets, but lost In the Olympic tryouts.
at 15 2-6 seconds, and again in the
world's championship at Sweden, when
Kelly negotiated the course in 15 1-10
seconds, only 1-10 second behind the
world's mark of 15 seconds established
at the London Olympiad by Forrest
Smlthson, wearing the Multnomah Club
colors.
History -of 1S08 Recalled.
At the 1908 Olympic games at Lon
don, Multnomah Club had two entries,
although Oregon had three men In the
events. Smlthson won the 110-meter
hurdles in 15 seconds, and Dan Kelly
was second in the broad jump. Gilbert,
who tied with Cook for first place in
the pole vault, represented Tale, but
was an Oregon boy.
Southern California enthusiasts are
making great preparations to welcome
home Fred Kelly, the hurdles victor at
Stockholm. A loving cup, purchased
by public subscription, will be present
ed to him by Mayor Alexander when
he alights from the train at Los An
geles. Over 1000 people have donated
10-cent pieces for the trophy.
Kelly will be the biggest man In the
state when he reaches home, and a
crowd exceeding any ever gathered to
gether to welcome an arrival in Los
Angeles will greet the Olympic cham
pion.
Mother's Love Is Told.
Kelly's mother took his victory with
remarkable complacency, but behind
her words "ould be read love and pride
unbounded.
"Of course Fred won," she said com
posedly when she heard of his victory.
"Fred has been winning ever since he
was a baby. I think he was the win
nlngest baby I ever saw. When he
was 14 months old we were proud of
his strength, and from the time he
started in school he nas been ahead In
all lines of athletics he tried. He is
also near the top in his classes.
Kelly is a student in the University
of Southern California. When he won
the Olympic tryouts he was generally
credited with more luck than ability,
and not an expert picked him to win
the Olympic competition. However, his
record of la 1-10 seconds brands him
as a world beater, second only to tbe
remarkable Smlthson.
