BY BOSCOE FAWCKTT.
HI West foundered In a storm 6f
wallops yesterday, when the Oakland
champions, after three consecutive de
feats, came from behind, tied n 2-to-l
score In the ninth, and then battered
out a 6-to-2 victory In the tenth Inning.
Bill Leard's double with the bases full
scuttled the ship. A pinch hit by
O-ardner In the ninth sent the same
Into extra Innings.
To the real baseball fan It was a
sad climax to a wonderful game.
West and Malarkey had hooked up
In a combat that was superb up to the
fatal tenth. Then, West's downfall
was not altogether his fault, for Bill
Rodgers marred a brilliant fielding day,
by falling to cover second on a possible
double play.
With men on nrst and third and
nobody out on Rohrer's double and a
poor throw by West. Becker drove a
sharp grounder to Kores. After bluf
fing toward third Kores turned to force
his man at second, but Captain Bill was
not on deck. All three runners went
safe. That was one of the five blngles
chalked up by the Oaks in that ter
rible stanza.
I.eard's Hit Spells Defeat.
Bill leard forthwith stepped to the
plate and pulverized a screaming two
base swat to center field, clearing the
sacks, whereupon 4000 commonplace
fans went home to commonplace din
ners some more commonplace than
others.
Ness double and a scratch triple by
Coy that bounced over Peters' head at
first base, added to the uproar. This
afterclup made the total four runs for
the inning.
McCredle sent his one best pinch hit
ling bet. Bill I,lndsay, to bat In the
last of the tenth in a valiant effort to
start a rally, but Bill stumbled over
the "log" in psychological. No rally
was forthcoming.
Gardner, however not Leard Is the
fellow who Is entitled to snub the
goldfish at the Seward Hotel today. No
use trying to hide the ex-Western
.leaguer's light under a ninth inning
bushel while there still remains a
couple hundred words of space to be
filled. Gardner went to bat in the
ninth as a proxy for Shortstop Cook
with two out and Bert Coy on third
base. Coy had doubled to deep center.
The best that Gardner could do was
to exudo a single Into left field and It
was this poke that tied the score 2-2
and eventually broke the Oaks losing
streak.
Mc redle Dacal 3 New Men.
McCredle used all three newcomers,
Lober, Coulson and Peters, In the line
up. Chadbourne and Derrtck were both
lightly Indisposed so Lober went to
left and Peters to first. Peters did not
edit his way Into spectacularity but
fielded fairly well.
Oakland got off to a one-run lead
In the first Inning on Becker's double
ami an error by Rodgers. The doughty
Portland captain made up for this slip
by driving West across after Cook's
error in the sixth. The locals went
Into the lead in the seventh when
I'oulson's two-bagger and McOormick's
single caused a tally to percolate
across.
The contest moved on to the ninth
which was the precise time and place
that those pulverizing Commuters eked
out the ammunition for their salute.
Kores and Rodgers featured the
fielding by several remarkable plays.
Kores robbed Hetling of a line drive
over second, while Rodgers manipulated
two lone-hand thefts that sent thrills
coursing up and down numerous verte
brae. The score:

Three of the eight hits registered
against West in the first nine Innings
were scratchy. Zaeher run into a little
luck in the first inning when the Port
land Infield permitted an easy fly to
drop safe within ten feet of the pitch
ing rubber. Fisher tried to stab It,
but misjudged the tap.
Peters showed quick-thinking powers
In the fourth Inning when he caught
Coy red-handed off third base after
messing up Cook's grounder.
West did not walk a man in the en
tire ten innings of play.
The crowd had a great afternoon rag
ging at Umpire Bush. The latter. In
peeve, offered his Indicator to one of
his tormentors, much to the delight of
the rabid ones.
Allan T. Baum. president of the Coast
Ueague; W. W. McCredle. president of
the Portland club, and John P. Cook, of
Oakland, pert owner of the Oakland
club, watched the game from the Mc

JAMES MAY GO UP
Advance to Big League Pre
dicted for Twirler.
HARD LUCK MARS CAREER
Portland Fans Asking; Why Pitcher
Was Robbed of No-Hit Game
Thursday Against Oaks and
Explanation Is Given.
One Pacific Coast League pitcher
who is almost sure to go back to the
big leagues this Fall is William Henry
James, the elongated twirler of the
Portland Coast League club, who set
the champion Oaks down with two
scratchy hits on Wednesday.
James' arm now is In shape, for the
first time in two years and he has been
breezing along at a terrific clip. He
has been twirling only three ye&rs and
has been In the American League twice
in 1911 ana in 1912, with Cleveland.
Bill was not sent back to the minors
because he failed to make good. In
1911 Walter Johnson, the famous Wash
ington pitcher, drove a screeching liner
back at him, July 18, and broke his
shoulder bone. That put him out of it
that season. The next year he warmed
the bench until June and then, when
Toledo needed help. Bill was sent over
there temporarily.
Change Is Demanded.
James demanded a change last Fall
and asked to go either to Baltimore or
to Portland. Clevelar! refused to per
mit his sale to Baltimore as the Naps
wanted him where they could have a
string on him. consequently "Laughing
Bill" is with McCredle.
He throws a speed ball so fast that
it burns the air and the catchers are
demanding asbestos mitts. James' con
trol is as good as the average, too, and
if he keeps up his good work some
big league club will hook him sure ere
the Ides of November.
James broke In with Jackson In the
Michigan State League in 1910 and In
August was grabbed by Toledo. He
won seven straight games for the Mud
Hens that Fall, his first victory,
curiously enough, being against Irve
Hlgginbotham, now a teammate, then
pitching for Louisville.
Fans Make Inquiry.
James has never pitched a no-hit, no
run game, but has had a couple of nar
row escapes. His first year at Jackson
he pitched a one-hit game against Sag
inaw, his record being marred near the
close of Johnny Wuffli, now of the
Seals. Portland fans have been boost
ing Uncle Sam's postal receipts to
quite an extent since mid-week, de
manding reasons why James was
"robbed" of a no-hit game Thursday
against the Oaks.
By contorting the scoring rules
James could have been awarded a clean
sheet, but the official Bcorer evidently
deemed it best to score the plays le
gitimately. As a matter of fact. Bill
Rodgers was given an error on a? hard
play, in which the official scorer al
lotted the pitcher the big end of It.
An error is the failure to perform
some mechanical play. Both Rodgers
and Kores overbid themselves trying
to kill off ordinarily safe grounders,
and for that reason should not have
been chalked with errors. They failed
to perform the speqtacular, not the me
chanical. Getting back to James: The popular
right-hander Is 26 years old and his
home is at Ann Arbor, Mich. He at
tended school for one year at the Uni
versity of Michigan.
BUSINESS MEN" START GAMES
Realty Board Nine Takes Close Game
From Progressives.
The first games of the Portland Busi
ness Men's League were played yester
day afternoon on the Jefferson High
grounds and the Portland Academy
field. On the former diamond the
Realty Board nine defeated the Pro
gressive Business Men's Club team by
the close score of 14 to 13. The game
was a close one from start to finish
and several home runs were scored by
the winners. The fielding of both
sides was loose, 12 errors being made on
each side.
On the Portland Academy field the
result was somewhat different, for the
Portland Transportation Club aggre
gation had little trouble In disposing
of the Portland Ad Club nine. When
the dust settled the score stood 13 to
0, But three hits were registered by
the losers off Hoffert. while the win-
tiers hit Kelly's offerings to all cor
ners of the lot. making; a total of 16.

VICTORIA. B. C. June ". (Special.)
With Delmas' return the Bees were
able to field a team today which looked
considerably stronger in the field than
tlie old formation, and also possessed
of additional strength at bat. although
that was hardly necessary. Victoria
won both games irom Portland, the
first 9 to 4 and the second 10 to 8.
In the first game Fltsgerald pitched
his first game and acquitted himself
creditably. The Bees had to hit behind
him to win. but he looked like a win
ner all the way.
The home team started to nick Mar
tinonl's offerings with effect on the
Jump, and not an inning passed but
they got one hit at least. In the
opening period Martinoni was foolish
enough to treat Meek with contumely
and laughed at him when the balls and
strikes stood two and two. The burly
backstop responded with a vicious
drive over the fence, sending in two
runners ahead of him. Portland got a
run in the second inning, owing to
wildness on the part of Fitzgerald, but
the Bee pitcher got this back by driv
ing in one himself In Victoria's halt.
Colta Bunch Hits.
Three hits in a row gave the Colts
tneir second score in the third, and
then Fitzgerald slammed on the lid.
holding them at bay until the sixth.
when Mahoney's homer chased In their
last twi. In the meantime Victoria
naa oeen Dusuy sawing wood, a suc
cession of four hits, two of them two
baggers, giving them three runs in the
fourth and a triple and a four-bagger
making up the total In the sixth and
eighth. The fielding of the h-ome tea
showed a marked improvement, as
result of the changes that had been
wrought. It is not too much to say
that the team is a pennant prospect if
the pitchers can now deliver in rea
sonably good style.
Second dame Hard Fought.
A little of everything was Infused
In the second game, which Victoria
won, thus ending the Portland series
with an even break, four games each.
It was a feverish contest, full of heart
throbs from start to finish. To wind
it up the Colts rallied in the ninth In
nlng and threw a scare Into the spec
tators by getting three runs, besides
having a couple of men on bases when
the side was finally retired. The final
score was 10 to 8.
A feature of the game was the
tongue-lashing which Umpire Eddlng
er came in for. Eddinger's work didn't
suit the members of either team and
he was subjected to a strong line of
DacK talk, more than he has taken on
the local grounds, which is saying a
lot. For the third time In the week
Hardin tried to pitch and once more he
had to relinquish the Job to Srtllth.
This time he met with no mercy and
was lifted in the second Inning, after
two runs had been scored off him.
Been Score on Homera.
Smith pitched pretty fair ball up to
the ninth, when three hits and a con
dition of semi-darkness helped the vis
itors to three runs. Three home runs
and a triple were responsible for all but
two of the Bees' runs, two coming
across In the second Inning on four
singles. Stanley was hit hard, but he
has the excuse that he has been used
altogether too often during the past
week or so. Score:

VENICE HELP TO LEAGUE
BAIM SAYS CHOWDS ARE B1G-
GER THAN AT VERXON.
President of Coast Circuit Sayg
Xeither He Nor Pans Want to
See Games Played Too Fast.
The transfer of the Vernon Coast
League franchise to Venice, a beach re.
aort near Los Anteles. has proved a
benlficent maneuver, flna.ncla.lly a. wail
as morally.
A. T. Baum. the highly capable presi
dent of the Coat AA organisation a
PorUund visitor is authority for the
statement that Decoration day forenoon
receipts at Venice exceeded the receipts
from Vernon a year ago by nearly $200.
Sunday morning games, too, are draw
ing better at Venice.
"Even if the team owners lose money
the move Is a step In advance," aaid
President Baum last night at the Ore
gon Hotel. "Vernon and its booze en
virons might be all ri&ht for prize
fighting, but not for baseball. Vernon
was a black mark on the Coaat es
cutcheon and I am glad the directors
voted the change."
President Baum and Walter H. Mc
Credle, manager of the Portland club,
were the chief figures in the worthy
struggle that brought about a change.
In that fight at the start of his five
year administration President Baum
showed that he had plenty of backbone
and his every move since then has
tended to strengthen this theory.
The San Francisco baseball strategist
has ideas of his own. For Instance, a
local official approached him during
his visit here and howled for shorter
ball games.
"Your Pacific Coast League games
occupy an hour and 50 minutes and
sometimes two hours," said the coin -plainer.
"Perle Casey handled the
Xorthwestern League games alone here
and got away with them in under an
hour and 20 minutes."
President Baum laughed and prompt
ly replied:
"You may want ball games in an
hour and ten minutes but I don't and
neither does the public. Look at your
major league box scores in the news
paper tomorrow morning and you'll find
the games as drawn-out as those in the
Pacific Coast.
"Baseball fans do not want machine-
like baseball. They go to the park to
be entertained and an average game in
about an hour and 45 minutes. In my
opinion, is what the public wants. I
don't like to see a game drag, but play
can be crowded along too fast and
overdone just as It can be dragged out
two hours and 15 minutes and spoiled.''
Mr. Baum will leave this afternoon
for San Francisco. He expects to make
another trip North this Fall.
