STICK AVERAGES LOWER Derrick Leads Beavers In Stolen Bases to Bate Speed Generally Faster Throughout Leagne. Krueser's Slump Marked. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. "More Efficient Pitching" was the watchword in nearly every Pacific Coast League camp at the close of the 1912 campaign. And, more efficient pitching seems to have resulted, Judging from the comparative batting compilations for the first 12 weeks of the two sea sons. This Increased pitching potentiality Is aptly illustrated by the Los Angeles club. The Angels led in team batting last year on June 2.1 with an average of .274. This year, on June 22, the team again nestled at the top, but with a team average 15 points below .259. The grand batting average of the six clubs this year is .249. whereas the average at a corresponding time in 1912 was .260., As Daley and Heltmuller are the only batting stars of prominence who are not amongst us this year and their places have been admirably filled by Maggart, Kores. Ellis, Ness and Morau better pitching seems to be the only peg on which to hang a reason. Certainly Portland. San Francisco Sacramento have greatly strengthened their flinging corps. Los Angeles has last LeTerem, but Ryan and Perritt have more than recouped for the south, paw's, loss and Venice, too, seems pos sessed of a stronger slabbing staff. The Oaks, alone, appear off their feed. Parkin led the league June 23. 1912, with nine wins and only two de feats, but he has hard work getting started this Spring. His usefulness is supposed to cease along about July 1, but he may kick tradition In the teeth. Killllay and Abies were also star per formers last season, but neither has done anything so far, although Abies has Just rounded back to shape, after his accident. Pernoll is the big chief in the glory league in 1913, but, at that, the Oaks are not up to 1912 standards. Portland has a faster club than In 1912, due to the importation of Kores and Derrick, but there has been no revision in the batting ranks, except downward. The team stickers have gone the route of the rest of the clubs. In -912. for the first 12 weeks, the Beavers swatted the horsehlde at a .259 clip, but now they are now, still next to the bottom, batting only .246. In speed.. Los Angeles, Fan Francisco and Sacramento have picked up won derfully. Johnston has added the nec essary "pep" at Sealrille, Moran at Sac ramento and Maggart and Moore at Los Angeles. Los Angeles had stolen 137 bases up to June 23. 1912; the total this year Is 156. San Francisco has risen from 107 pllferings to 153, only three bases be hind the league leaders. TVho said San Francisco lacked speed? The Beavers, too, have undergone a resurrection, leaping from 89 up to 110 in a year's time. Derrick leads the locals for 12 weeks with 20 stolen hassocks. Doane topped the drads last season with 18. A comparison of the Portland Coast batting and base stealing for the two seasons is of considerable Interest. Lindsay has been a consistent bitter. In fact, has picked up from .314 to around .230 within the period covered In the statistics. Krueger, one year ago was hitting .321; now he Is down around .150 with Los Angeles. But, anyway, here are the figures to speak for themselves: front but for on iwho after each sea son Is doped as sure to go back, this is very good. And Bender is one of the mainstays of Connie Mack on the firing line. He has been for some years, and he will continue. Before coming to the Athletics, Chief pitched, for the Carlisle Indian School and. later for the Harrisburg A. C. After this, in 1903, he came to the Mackers, and has been connected with the team ever since. In 1903. when the Athletics won a pennant, it was the good work of Ben der that helped much. Then, in 1910 and 1911, when . Connie Maik again chaperoned pennant winners. Bender was one of the chief mainstays on the firing line. The best year Bender has enjoyed since he came to the Athletics was in 1910, when he wound up the season with 23 victories and, only 5 defeats, for a percentage of .821 This put him at the top of the American league Irurlers for that season. And. only twice during the ten years he has been connected with the flinging corps of the Athletics did he fall under the .500 mark. The first came in 1904, whin lie would up with .476. and in 1908, when he won eight and lost nine, for a .471 percentage. What's more, the Chief has pitched what every other hurler in the national pastime strives hard to acquire, a no hit, no-run game. This was accom plished on May 12, 1905, with the Cleve land, Naps as the opponents. In that season also he was the only hurler on Connie Mack's pay roll to take a game from the Giants in the world's series. Here's Ten-Year Rnord, Render's record since he has been with the Athletics, exclusive of 1913: Won. Lost. Pet.

CINCINNATI, June 28. An amusing criticism was made on the personnel of the Reds the other day to the effect that the players are too old to deliver the goods and that that is the reason why they have occupied last place for so long. The critic declared that the Cincinnati Club was an old man's home and could never win until new life was instilled, into it by the substitution of young men for the alleged old-timers, who were said to be cluttering up the field. Nothing could be further from the truth. As a matter of fact the Reds, as now constituted, are one of the youngest clubs in the league. Joe Tinker, naturally, 1b the oldest man in the regular line-up, and Joe Is only 32 years old and as fast as he ever was. Hobby 13 only 24, though he has four years of experience as a major league first baseman. Heine Groh is a youngster and so is John Dodge, the latter having Just passed his twentieth birthday. The in field is the youngest in the league, for If Almeida plays third he is only 26, and does not bring the average up very much. In the outfield Bob Bescher the oldest man out there, is only 28. while Josh Devore is 24 and Marsans 25. If there is any team that can beat this for youth we would like to hear of it- Some of the pitchers and catch ers are older men, of course, which is as it should be. John Kllng, the vet eran of the club, is 37, but still in ex cellent form and catching as good ball as he ever did. Tom Clarke, who has been doing most of the work behind the bat this year, is only 21, and Earl Blackburn, the third backstop, has Just turned 20. The veteran of the pitching staff is Mordecai Brown, who is 37 years of age. Sugg3 and Ames are seven or eight years younger while Benton and Chief Johnson are Just in their twen ties. It will be seen that the club is composed for the most part of young players, which is a condition that Man ager Tinker has been working for. Joe believes that the best results are se cured from a young team, with Just enough older heads to steady the club by their advice and experience. A team without any men at all of the caliber of Brown and Kling would not last very long in fast company. On the other hand, a team composed en tirely of veterans of that stamp would not have much of a chance. Manager Tinker's Idea of combining youth with age and experience seems to be the right one. It is absurd to speak of the Reds as having too many old men in the line-up. They have Just about the right percentage and that's an. ED SCHILLER IS RELEASED Grand Jury Returns Not True Bill Atter Probing Alleged Betting. Ed Schiller, proprietor of a cigar store, was released from the criminal charge of maintaining a nuisance yes terday by the grand Jurv. which re turned a not true bill. He had been held to the Jury on a charge of en couraging and permitting betting on the Northwestern and Pacific Coast baseball league games in his establish ment. A not true bill was returned also as to R. O. Littler and J. H. McLaughlin of the- West Coast Engineering Com pany. They were charged by union men with a violation of a law passed at the 1911 session of the Legislature by falling to provide proper scaffold ing for men employed by them on the Broadway bridge, on which they had a subcontract.

Albert Bender, pitcher for tho Ath letics, has been connected with Connie Mack for a goodly number of years, but he seems to be another one of those who are able to go on forever. Chief has a record of five games won and only one lost this season, and all his wins have come in succession. Each Spring it is said about Bender, Just like Eddie Plank, the southpaw, who has been hurling for ages, "likely to go back at any time." But each year Bender comes around and Is hurling the same consistent ball he did the sea son before. Since Bender went to the Athletics, way back in 1903, ho has a winning percentage of .681. which is very good for any pitcher. This record consti tutes 155 victories and only 90 defeats. True, Bender has been with a team that almost always landed well to the ever, that they had provided safely belts. ONWENTSLA POLO CHAMPIONS Middle West Title Won by Victory Over Cincinnati. LAKE FOREST, 111.. June 28. On wentsla Club's polo team won the cham pionship of the Middle West by defeat ing the Cincinnati team 11 goals to 2$i. The result of the game was never in doubt. Cincinnati making Its points in the latter part of the play. Starting with a two-goals advantage, Onwentsia piled up four more in the first two periods and got a start that apparently took the courage out of the Cincinnatlans. Onwentsia closed with a total of 10 earned goals, one goal being lost by two fouls. Cincinnati's only mark up to the sixth period was a safety by Hopping in the third. Graydon, Hopping and Harrison made one gbal each in the sixth, seventh and eighth periods. & vif CM.l; 4-Jp Vv f fi r D'- Campbell. TV Inner of Onnce Bait Ca.tlnB Affntr.

KIPPERT SHOWING MERIT Vancouver Player Bats at .339 Rate, Steals Bases Like Thief and Does Sensational Field Worfc Swain Also Makes Good Record. Meek of Victoria is in a terrible slump. Soon ho will be down to a measly .400, for he Is only one point above that lowly position now. Per haps the most valuable Northwestern League player, counting batting, field ing, base-running and all-around work. Is Klppert, of the Vancouver club. "Kip" is clouting at the terrific cMp of .339, and besides fielding sensationally, has stolen 17 bases. Charley Swain is proving his right to be classed as a .300 hitter by banging away for .328. Others high up in the statistics are Delmas, Alberts and Mad. den of Victoria, McCarl of Spokane, and Frisk of Vancouver. Hellmann, with .304, leads Portland in the figures up to Wednesday. The Portland Colts rank next to last In batting, but are third in fielding. Oddly enough, the fielding statistics Just about illustrate the league stand ings. Jackson of Seattle leads the base stealers with 28, Strait of the same club ranking second with 20. There seem to be a lack of good base-pilfering In the circuit, with nobody shining forth as did Hap Myers of Spokane last season. The statistics: , A3. R. H. AV.

This statement needs no further con firmation than a check on the number of passes doled out by opposing pitch ers. The elephantine receiver has been walked in the pinch no less than 37 times this season, and little wonder for he is banging the ball at a .400 clip. Cy Swain, of Victoria, is another slugger before whom the B league pitchers quail. Although Cy Joined the Bees only five weeks ago he has been passed up on 28 occasions. Rawlings.

FIRST EVENT BIG SUCCESS More Ont-of-Town Entries Wanted and Applications of Medford, Pendleton and Eugene Cast . ers Have Been Received. Gratified by the success attained at the tournament of the Multnomah Anglers' Club at the Oaks last week another one is on foot to be held the third week in July. But two out-of-town entries were in the last meet, but applications have already been received from Eugene, Medford and Pendleton. The local club wants more out-of-town entries. The scores made last Thursday show that the local casters are fully as ex pert as any along the Pacific Coast. But few better marks were made at the tournament held in Chicago recently. The Godfrey brothers, the only two out-of-town entries, who competed for tho Seaside club, carried away first honors in every event they entered. More than 20 casters were out. but double that number are expected at the tournament in July. Sam B. Archer, a well-known local fisherman, is contemplating leaving for the Tillamook country the latter part of this week providing the weather clears up so that the roads will ba in fair condition for automobiles. Later on Mr. Archer will leave Astoria for the Nehalem River, then up to the North orK by way of Seaside. In all nroba bllity Mr. Archer will be away for eight or ten days. C. J. Cook and Ray Wilson left with their families last night for Cdrvallis. where they will prepare for a fishing ana hunting trip into the Alsea terri tory. Fishing has been on the decline owing to the high water, but by the ena or tne week everything is expected to be in readiness. The Cook and Wil son party will be away from the city several days and may not be back until after the Fourth of July. e Another fisherman to brave the high water is Ray Davis, who went to the Eagle Creek fishing grounds last night. Davis does not expect marked results at present, so will stay in the Interior until tho water recedes. FARR TOLL SIAVA.GE INDIAN'S Spokane Traction Official to Guide Faltering Baseball Club. SPOKANE.
