Portland and Los Angeles ball toss ers witnessed a circus pageant yester day, found the spirit contagious, so Im mediately thereafter staged a one-ring exhibition of their own In the mud, and as the barometer records the Beavers still In fourth place, it la only neces sary to add that the score by which Portland won was 2 to 1. It was a single-ringed entertainment because Heinle - Klawltter. the big German pitcher, was about the whole show. His pitching was magnificent. He allowed three hits In the nine in nings and only one of the trio was a clean-cut, legitimate blngle. He had rifle-like speed and dazzling curves. No wonder the McCredie steam cal liope is tooting airy - fairy ragtime music after two renditions of that cheerful thing by Chopin. It would have been a serious transgression against the rights of man had the An gels walloped us. But that very thing they threatened once or twice to do, when some earnest, spectacular field ing stopped the rush. Big Bill Tozer was on slab duty for Los Angeles and while he was found for nine singles he kept the blngllng tranquilly scattered except In two In nings, when timely wallops by Chad bourne a,nd Doane scored the precious tallies. ' . "Happy Jack" Kibble, the Portland Colt recruit, playing his first game in big league company, is another who has his name posted on the bulletin of boosts this morning. In addition to making lots of noise around the third sack, scooping in everything that came his way and otherwise displaying his defiance of AA class, Klbbie plunked out a. Texas leaguer back of third base In the third lnntng that started the scoring. Klawltter sacrificed him along and both went safe on Tozor's error. Chad bourne filled the bases on a dump along the third base line and then Doane Inserted his war club into the melee for a biff up against the right wall, scoring Kibble. He was caught off first and Kodgers and Krueger were easy outs. Chadbourne's second lilt. In the fifth inning, a bunt down the third base line by Doane. sending Cbadbourne to third base, and Rodgers" sacrifice fly to Core gave the Beavers their second and final tally. . Hits by Daley and Moore and an In field out earned the Dlllonites their lpne score In the seventh Inning after they had previously threatened to tie up In the fifth. .Up to that time Klawltter had pitched no-htt, no-run ball. Starting off the fifth Moore sent a grounder toward first that Hank Butcher balled up. Moore making second. A sacrifice placed him at the threshold, but Kla witter whiffed Lober and Butcher re tired the side on a swell foul catch. Howley and Bancroft also helped the ultimate result with some dashing field work. But after walking around the box score and surveying It from all angles one must fairly admit that: "The Angels were there with the right ammunition. Uniforms, mitts and the bludgeons of wood; There with retrievers as good as the Beavers, But outclassed in the section where Klawltter stood." A double-header starting at 1:30 P.

It was all due to over-confidence or carelessness.

NONE SENT FROM COAST Contrast Made With 1911, When 20 Were Sold Some Few May Yet Be Drafted Chances of Men Are Improved Also. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. That the revised National agreement . in rin all that was claimed for it in the way of protecting class AA leagues from major inroads becomes more and more apparent every day. Tn thn naat. Pacific Coast managers have disposed of their stars, preferring to lose them for a stitr price ratner than let them slip by for the paltry 11000 draft figure. Now the old order seems to have changed. With the drart price fixed at 32500, the Coast bosses seem to have, loined the "stand-pat" club and. whereas upwards of 20 men made up the 1911 crop to the majors, up to this time not a single sale has been reported. Of course, the fans can iook tor two or three choice sales above the draft arale. and each club will likely lose one man by draft when the "open" season is declared, September 15 to 20. nut there will be no such depletion of the sauads as that which disgusted a great body of fans last Fall. Seven or eight may go, but not 20. A'rw I-arr Affects Portland.

Bancroft, of Portland, is a marvel in thA field and should develop Into a sure hitter in another yean The same lies true of Lober.

Happy Hogan, formerly a model of idolatry in Los Angeles, has taken a fearful slump in the estimation of the fans, if reports that have drifted up from the south are to be believed. The resuscitation of the Seraphs might nat urally be expected to undermine some of the Vernon boosting contingent, but Hogan's slump, strange to say, has no connection with the Angel onrush. In the versatile Hap's case a, foul ball In the right field bleachers got him "in Dutch" with his supporters. 'Come on, throw me the ball," yelled Hogan. as he dashed over in front of the crowd, according to his custom. But no ball came, and after waiting for several moments with outstretched arms. Hap turned away, testily, with the remark: "Keep it then; but if you wanta ball. Til give you one. Don't steal it." Hap then steered a policeman into the crowd amid a chorus of yowls and catcalls, but the crowd passed the sphere back and forth in "Button, but ton who's got the button?" fashion. Happy saw his mistake immediately and tried to Josh it over. Finally he securei an armload of Goldsmiths and began tossing them into the mass of f u - i ism - v "xy i.

The victory made it two out of three games for Chicago and tonight the Cubs are only five games behind the Giants in the race for the National League pennant. Johnny Evers, who returnea to mo . a fji'0-rlav suspension. played excellent ball and drove out a brace of two-base hits that figured prominently In the scoring. It was Archer's slashing single into deep cen ter, however, which scored Saier with the' run that gave the victory. "Matty" Falls In Seventh. Mathewson pitched well until the seventh inning, holding Chicago to three hits. Zimmerman drove out two doubles and a single. Richie. wno pitched Chicago to victory in the first game, was hit freely.

The Na tional Baseball Commission issued to day its annual list of major league players released to minor league clubs subject to recall by the former clubs under optional agreement which will expire on August 20. Among the National League are: By Chicago to Sioux City, Player Walsh for $1500; to Topeka, Chapman, $300. Among the American League are: By Chicago to Los Angeles, Tlayer Berger. for $2500; to Lincoln, Mog ridge. $3nn; to St. Joseph, Bell. $3000; to San Francisco. Delhi, pick of San Francisco club and $500. By Cleveland to Portland, Doane, Coltrln. Howley and HTrsch, option to select two players with exception of Doane for $1500 each. Among the major league players re leased to minor league clubs upon whom major league clubs have waived claims are: National League By Philadelphia, Hall of Tacoma. American League By Chicago, Heuston and Ulatowski of Des Moines; Baker and Corhan of San Francisco. By Boston, Wufflt of Spokane: Dick erson and Thomas of Sacramento.

The National Commission bulletin presents several interesting facts to Pacific Coast League fans. Had Port land a number of major league pros pects the clause giving Cleveland the right to take two players for $1500 each for the release of Doane. Coltrin, Howley and Hirseh might he alarming, but as there is no immediate danger of the further weakening of the Beav ers, even if the Naps so willed It. the chief item of interest centers in the San Francisco deal for "Flame" Delhi. It appears that for tl-.e use of the ex-Los Angeles pitcher, who, by the way, has failed to produce the expect ed results with the Seals, Cal Ewlng agreed to turn over any man on his club to the White Sox. and a little purse of $500. Frank Miller, the speed marvel slabster, is the fellow Ted Sul livan is looking up at San Francisco, and he is the man likely to go to Chi cago for the 1913 White Sox. The Phillies have at last decided that Bert Hall, the Tacoma pitcher, is not worth holding, while the White Sox ar rived at the same conclusion regarding Pitcher Baker and Infielder Corhan. Wuffli "was turned over to Spokane, and by Joe Cohn to San Francisco, while Thomas, the pitcher the Boston Red Sox gave to Sacramento, has al ready been turned adrift. Vancouver securing him a few weeks ago and then releasing him. Jimmy Sliinn also becomes the unconditional property of Sacramento. Hirseh. the player mentioned in the Portland-Cleveland deal, is the pitcher who went to the Colts and then to a Canadian club. Portland still has a half interest in the man and a recent unconfirmed report had it that there, was a chance for a major league sale. GRAHAM TO RETIRE IN 1913 Senator Leader to Give Up Manage ment of Team After This Season. SACRAMENTO. Cal., Aug. 17. (Spe cial.) This will be Charley Graham's last season as manager of the Sacra mento baseball team. Graham has found that his automobile business takes so much of his time that he can not give the proper attention to the baseball team. For that reason Gra ham will retire from the active base ball field with the close of the sea son, and it will mark the passing of a man who has had a notable career on the diamond. Graham expects to. continue as a heavy stockholder in the baseball club. Graham's determination to retire is understood by Jack Atkin. the majori ty owner of stock in the baseball club, and Atkin is now ton his way East in search of a man to take Graham's place. His first choice is Doc White, the famous pitcher of the Chicago White Sox; the second, Billy Sullivan, the Chicago, catcher. Bootlegging Reward Orfercd. SALEM, Or., Aug. 17. (Special.) A reward of $100 for the arrest and con viction of every bootlegger who Is il legally selling liquor has been posted by Governor West. This move was taken because of constant reports being received from many quarters of viola tion of the law in this respect. There is still $1000 left in the fund provided for rewards, and when this is expended the Governor probably will arrange to make recommendation to the next Leg islature that the further rewards by paid. - IPOKANE FANS RAIL AT UMPIRE'S RULING Decision in Ninth Gives Game to Colts, Bringing Woe to Indian Players.

Melcholr, leading off second, scurried back on a throw from short right-field. He slid for the hng. Coltrin, receiving the throw, blocked the runner. Mc Dowell, second baseman, ran up and aided In the. moiee by kicking the hag away from Melehlor's feet. Moran. umpiring from behind the liat, at first waved the runner safe. Me saya he didn't, but he did, and hun dreds of Spokane bugs will verify the statement. After a minute's hesitation, and responding to Coltrin's appeal to oemo and look, Moran ran down from his position behind the bat across the full length of tlio aiamond to second bane, Decision la Reversed. Then, to the dismay of Spokane bugs and the Indignation of Spokane play ers, he reversed his decision, calling Atelchior out, ending the sensational nlnth-lnnlng rally and the game. Port land won, 6 to 5. Spokane played bad ball, with the re sult that their 17 hits to Portland's 9 meant absolutely nothing. The second game was a pretty pitch ers' battle between Kraft and Steiger and Doty. Kraft must be credited with the laurels of victory. He nutpitched the pair opposed to him. and drew good support from his teammates. Wlllloma Put Ont of Game. Portland's cripples were increased in this game by the banishment of Man ager Nick Williams for kicking. Spo kane also lost "Hap" Myers, but John son was a more acceptable substitute than Burch.
