Yesterday' Result.

A sixth inning; fusillade of hits five
consecutive swats - introduced by
Krueaer's two-bagger and "climaxed"
by Kibble's thump of the same denomi
nation combined with four providen
tial double plays, gave the Beavers a
3-2 victory over Vernon in a mud
spattered diamond contest yesterday
afternoon.
But for a stubborn Sacramento rally
which resulted in the downfall of Los
Angeles, Hap Hogan's Vernonltes would
hftve been tumbled to second place by
the Eluaeina- Beavers.
It would be difficult for one not in
attendance to aDDreclate the luck which
hovered over Portland during three
innings of the fray. In- those three
periods, the second, third and the
eighth, double plays either shut off
runs or reduced the scoring to a point
which rendered the Hoganite errorts
helpless against the sixth-Inning com
bination of Beaver hits.
Three Doubles Upeet Vernon.
In the very first Inning the Beavers
started the double play antics which
rendered Hap Hogan speechless witn in
dignation when the third duplication
had been effected. The first double
counted for little, but when the sec
ond came in the following- Inning, with
three men on and only one out, and the
third in the succeeding period, under
the identical circumstances, it was
easy to see which club was favored by
the "breaks." Add to this five bunched
hits in the sixth, and another double
play to nip a rally in the eighth, when
one run had scored and men were on
second and third with only one out,
and you have some idea of the story
of that Beaver triumph.
: With Roy Hitt mowing down Mc
Credie's best in easy fashion and Ver
non one run to the good by virtue of
. Hltt's double and Klawltter's- erratic
twirling, little attention was paid to
the Beaver performances In the infield.
But when the sixth Inning turned vic
tory into impending defeat, the full
meaning of the catastrophe burst upon
Hogan and his men, who spent much
time watching a score board which
threatened at any minute to tell of an
Angel victory and consequent relega
tion of the leaders to second place.
Five Hits Come In Row.
The sixth inning opened with Fitz
gerald . grounding out to Hitt. Then
Krueger doubled to center. Butcher
scored him with a single to right. Rod
gers drove the ball at Hitt so hard that
the southpaw not only could not handle
it but stopped the game for a minute
while ha recovered the use of his
pitching hand, which had deflected the
ball to Rodgers. Fisher attempted to
sacrifice' and bunted the ball between
pitcher and shortstop, reaching first
and filling the bases. Then came Kib
ble's double to right center, which
scored Butcher and Rodgers. Fisher
tried to make home on the hit and was
nipped at the plate, Kane to Lltschl to
Agnew. Klawitter grounded out.
In the second Inning, with one gone,
"Kitty" Brashear singled to left and
went to third on a pass to Liitschi and
McDonnell's single to center. Agnew
hit to Klawitter, forcing "Kitty" at the
plate and going out at first on the dou
ble play.
The third gave Vernon a score. Hitt
took second on a double resulting from
Fitzgerald's mlsjudgment of a fly.
Carlisle walked. Kane grounded out.
the runners advancing a base. Bayless
walked, filling the sacks. Butcher
fumbled Roy Brashear's grounder and
the latter was safe at first, while Hitt
scored. Norman Brashear fanned and
Kane, caught off third, was run down
by Fisher and Kibble, for the third
double play.
Vernon Bids for Game.

Notes of the Game.
But for Kibble's sensational one-hand
stop of Roy Brashear's grounder in the sec
ond inning it would have been impossible
to have kept the Vernonitea from scoring.
In the fourth Inning, with McDonald on
second, the result of a single and sacrifice.
Fisher let the ball get through him. The
runner started for third and then went back
towards second. Thinking the runner was
on the move Fisher tossed wide to Kibble
and McDonnell took third and started for
home, only to be nipped by Chadbourne's
splendid peg.
Butcher had far from a good day at first.
He made one boot and lost a couple more
which should have been easy.
Suter tried to hold Fisher in the sixth

QUICK TRIAL IS FAVORED
Oklahoman Says There Is Only One
Defense to Murder Charge. '
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 31. A plea for
simplicity In the instructions of a
judge to a Jury was made today before
the American Institute of Criminal Law
nd Criminology by Charles A. Ie-
Courcey, of Boston,, who favored the
Dy the luoge of words almost
bordering on what is known as "the
language of the street."
That homicides should be tried Im
mediately after the crime is committed
was the argument of Judge S. H. Rus
sell, of Oklahoma, speaking on the
question of procedure in criminal cases.
If Judge Russell had the dictation of
ow such trials should be run, he would
do away with "extenuating circum
stances."
The only excuse for kililne. he con
tended. Is self defense.

BT HAPPY HOGAN.
Manager
"Do I

Team.
expect -to win the 1912 Coast
League pennant?" '
That question has been propounded
to me a thousand " times in the past
month.
Sure I do. But I'm not going to get
.all swelled up about it. Still, haven't
I a good right to? Haven't they been
calling my boys "castoffs" for the past
three years? And will it not be quite
a distinction if I do win the flag with
these alleged "castoffs"?
Coming right down to earth, Happy
Hogan and all his men have been on
pennant winners before, so we're sail
ing right along as if winning pennants
was our business every year. Person
ally, I have been with five pennant
winning aggregations since 1901, when
I began my professional career with
Sacramento in the old State League.
Hogan Stays by Ship.
That was a long time ago, and I've
stuck in the league . ever since the
MethuBelah of the bunch in point of
service. Kid Mohler, Frank Dillon and
these other old timers have all had
their fling elsewhere, only to return.
I have stayed right by the ship, and
I'm glad of It.
No doubt a large number of fans will
be interested in knowing where I
picked up the Vernon team and how It
all came about. I'll tell you, but first
I'll precede with a few events leading
up to it. Going back to tne pioneer
days, I started out with Mike Fisher
at Sacramento In lui, snaring me
backstop work with Charley liranam,
now president of the Sacramento club.
The circuit a four-club affair, em
bracing Los Angeles. San Francisco.
Oakland and Sacramento was outlaw
then, and in 190x spread out and took
in Portland and Seattle. That year
proved a financial bloomer for the Sac
ramento cluo, so tne irancnise was
switched to Tacoma in 1904. we won
two nennants there that season and
another for the first half of the sea
son of 1905 you see the schedule was
divided into two sections.
Tacoma Refuses to kny for Team.
Despite the graml class of ball served
uri by that wonderful club Casey, Nor-
dyke, Egan, etc Tacoma proved grape
fruit to the exchequer, and once again
we trundled off to a new stamping
ground, this time Fresno, Cal.
That was the year of the San Fran
cisco earthquake. 1906, and we had a
terrible time. Jim Morley relinquished
the Los Angeles franchise and gave
Hen Berry a chance to sport his sport
ing blood. We kept Intact throughout
the season, aitnougn rresno petered
out. Fisher quit in disgust that Fall,
and the reins were turned over to me.
We had affiliated with the National
association in 1904. when our club wai
shunted up to Tacoma, so received
"HAPPY" HOGAN.
some assistance from the East. All
the clubs, however, lost a stack of
coin. '
' I didn't get a chance to show my
managerial ability in 1907, for the di
rectors decided to abandon Fresno, and
the league went back to four clubs for
the seasons of 1907 and 1908. The
players naturally reverted to ' the
league, and that's how Portland got
Perle Casey, who Is now umpiring.
Egan went to Oakland and Delmas and
myself to Los Angeles. We won pen
nants there in 1907 and 1908.
Vernon Starts In 1009.
In 1909 the league decided to broaden
out. Sacramento was again clamoring
for baseball so a franchise, was placed
in the capital city and a second club
awarded to Los Angeles. Eddie Meier
and several other capitalists put in the
money and I joined forces, placed my
savings In the enterprise and was taken
over as manager.
Now, I'll tell you Just what a. job I
had before me. The directors of the
new Vernon club we chose the name
Vernon after vainly endeavoring to get
Pasadena to loosen up informed me of
my appointment on February 10. I had
until March I to gather the club. Port
land, San Francisco, Oakland and Los
Angeles were each supposed to give me
two men. Los Angeles forked over
"Kitty" Brashear, who rejoined me here
on Tuesday, but nary another ball play
er showed up.
I sent telegrams all over the country;
I wrote dozens of friends in various
leagues. Finally, the harvest set in.
I srot Kinkle. a free agent catcher, from
Minneapolis and later Brown, who had
been freed by Kansas City. In tne
pitching line I bought Brackenridge
from Akron, Hitt from Columbus, Sha
fer from Terra Haute and Harkins from
Utica.
Players Come Slowly.
St. Paul sold me my old pal Truck
Egan, with whom I had played five
years, for shortstop; Rube Haley am
bled in for second, while Tacoma sold
me Third Baseman Anson Mott, who
was back up here in the Northwestern
League a couple of seasons ago as a
first Backer. I also secured Outfielder
Martin ke from Tacoma; Caffyn, from
the State League, and Jess StovalL from
Louisville.
That, with Brashear on first, was my
club. It was a misfit, dovetailed or
ganization, and, as expected, finished
last, although we won 40 per cent of
our games. Then I began building up.
My labors were rewarded. Slowly but
surely we have struggled upward. We
finished third In 1910, second in 1911;
In face almost won the pennant, and
how. in 1912, I hope to realize my am
bition. Then, as I told the sporting
editor pf The Oregonian a couple of
days ago. I'm going to quit my base
ball career on the Pacific Coast for
good.
My policy has been not to sell ' my
players, but to keep strengthening. Last
year the only man I lost was Glpe, a
kid pitcher, who was drafted. This
year I may lose either Catcher Brown
or Agnew, or any of my -outfield trio,
Kane, Carlisle or Bayless, by draft, but
one is all I can lose.
Hogan Love Coast League.
: I have watched this old league ad
vance and wax prosperous, and I tell
you I love It. It's getting- stronger each
year.
Fans try to tell me It's not progres
sing because we haven't the stars of
last season or the season before. . That,
to my mind, is a sign that we are bet
ter balanced and naturally stronger.
Nearly all the present Coast players are
seasoned veterans who have had their
flings in the majors. They know the
game and are better men - than the
youngsters who are culled from the
bushes. One of a dozen bushers proves
a bonanza, but the other nine pull down
the standard of the circuit.
But let me say again, we have one
grand league. Since I've been a di
rector we haven't had a squabble that
could not be decided by the toss of a
coin, and that's a different sort of har
mony than, you read about in the ma
jors, or in any other Class AA organization.
