Newspaper Page TextTIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JULY G, 1913. KRAPPS DRIVE IN was batted freely today. Several mis plays by his teammates helped the home club in its scoring. The visitors could not solve Hitt's delivery at opportune times, their only run coming in the seventh, when Kane dropped Crisp's fly to deep center. Score: Oakland I Venice PORTLAND PITCHING GIANT WHO IS ONE OF "HARD LUCK" TWIRLERS BEHIND WHOM HIS TEAMMATES SELDOM GET MORE THAN A RUN OR TWO TRIPLE PLAY ROBS COLTS OF VICTORY he considers the Sacramento franc-his a good investment and is not anxious to leave baseball. The well-known bitterness existing between Cal Ewing, of San Francisco, and Ed Wolter, following Wolter's sen sational "syndicate" charges would seem to be sufficient of denial. Ewinqr would hardly consent to the return of Wolter Into the baseball fold. When Wolter was ousted from the Oakland club last Winter Wolverton tried to make a deal for the Oaks, but he says that is the only effort ho has ever made f ranchiseward on the Pa cific Coast.

And it t was a gent junior named Krapp who demonstrated It, and proved that Port- land can also try a fling at that ninth inning rally business. The score was: '" Portland 2, Sacramento 1. - ! Going into the ninth yesterday the bn under dog, 1-0, with Krapp and Stroud both twirling grand hall, Portland pumped a hypodermic Into Sacramento . with the precision and eclat of the late j 'f over Comrade Ooliath. -'' And the foregoing simile goes, too, " for it was Uliputian Gene Krapp niat whacked out the hit that brought the " V run that broke the air castles that Harry built. Krapp iln Elite All Along. Sounds like an awful battle, and -. there was much voclf erousness among the 4000 bugs, but, truth to tell, Krapp pitched winning ball and always seemed to have the edge on everything but the score. Jimmy Lewis speed and an over- I Aripe throw to Becond by Gus Fisher on t a double steal gave Sacramento its one ,,;TUn In the first Inning. And such was , , , the alignment when the Beavers went to bat in the last of . the ninth and banged out four hits good for two runs ri ; and enough to win. .,. Lindsay opened the fireworks, se ., , curing his second bingle of the game. ,. Korea laid down a bunt and beat it .out. Speas sacrificed both along to the farthest corners, and hits by Lo .ber and Krapp sent the visitors bur- i rowing under the grandstand like a .i squadron of worms, yet snarling and KJ fighting amongst themselves like so many bobcats. .. Ten hits the Beavers garnered off Stroud Rodgers. Lindsay, Speas and , Lober each securing a brace while "the best the Solons could muster was J ; five. Stroud Often In Danger. Krapp, In truth, flashed the Gold t smith as cleverly as any manager ".""could wish. His bread-winning fin chilled rarely yesterday, for he walked .'jjtbut three men, although he hit another. But the little demon with the moist thrust was seldom in danger, while Stroud faced critical periods on several r occasions. ": Mathematically speaking, Krapp de- ; ' served the victory. Aside from the battery invoicing,, the rampant actions of Jimmy Lewis fea tured the afternoon. Lewis registered a couple of hits and a walk and stole second, third and home in the Initial frame, incidentally making Catcher " Fisher out in the nature of a froggy false alarm. 't But, Fisher had his final giggle, for . he caught Lewis twice afterwards try- ing to steal and atoned for his early lackadaisy by a dazzling finish. Gus nabbed two men standing up in the ' -1 third inning. Gus also enjoyed his llt - tie laugh at the expense of Lewis -when that lugubrious demon, in the ninth, ... allowed a grounder to strike him amid--ships while legging it between sec-i-'-ond and third, thus signing his own ';death warrant. : :.

He will report immediately. it RIP'S" WORK GOOD Hagerman's Wins and Losses Record Is Deceptive. ZERAH ZEQUEL REAL NAME Tall Rlglithand Pitcher Tor Beavers Is Father of 6-Year-Old Girl and Has Had Real Touch of Base ball on Cuban Teams. "Rip" Hagerman, 195-pound right hander on the Portland pitching staff, whose real name is Zerah Zequel, is one of the horde of American ball stars who has had a touch of Cuban baseball. , Hagerman pitched for the Havanas against the Alamaderas, Matanzes and other Cuban aggregations in Decem ber, January, February and March of 1908 and 1909, and he was drawing down such good pay $400 that it al most cost him his trial with the Chi cago Cubs in 1909. Pay Doesn't Look Good. Hagerman had butted Into baseball as a twirler only the year before at Topeka where he won 30 games and inn a,"d Wf 8 sold to Ch'cago for 13500. v But Hagerman didn't take kindly to the pittance offered him by Murphy, during the latter's stav In Cuba, and politely declined to take up 2,, trek to Frank Chance's bivouac. Finally he did patch up a salary truce and reported and remained with the Cubs all 1909, Higginbotham being a member of the same club. The Cubs finished second that Fall. Hagerman started out 1910 again but was soon transferred to Louisville and then to Lincoln in the Western League. For three years he labored 'with great success for Lincoln and, after eluding the drafts last Fall, McCredie purchased him for $2500. Record la Deceptive. Hagerman's home Is at St. Paul Minn.. but he began baseball at Socorro, N. M. He is married and has a baby girl, Cathrine, six years old. "Rip" is of German parentage 24 years old, stands 6 feet 2 Inches 'and weighs 195 pounds. His record of wins and losses for Portland is not particularly impressive, but he has pitched wonderful ball. His team mates do not -seem to be able to get more than a run or two behind him. Seldom does a twirler pitch a bet ter brand of ball than that doled out by Hagerman last Tuesday In the opening game against Sacramento. He allowed five scattered hits and justly kalsomlned the Senators, 2-0. Hager man broke in for Portland eariv in WILLAMETTE BALLPLAYERS . GAMES ' AT?

It required a triple play to put the Indian sign on the dangreroua Portland team this afternoon and Spokane won its first game of the present series. Not without a strugrg-le did the locals accomplish the feat. Spokane had gar nered in three runs, the first on a sin gle by Wuffli and a triple by Pappa in the first inning, the next run- in the third inning on two singles by Yv'uffli and Puppa and a long hit by McCarl, and another In the fourth Inning on a single and a steal by Fltislmmons and another hit by Wuffli. There the run getting of Spokane stopped and Portland began to slam the ball. Goltrin had already scored a run for Portland on his double and a sin gle by Stanley. The Indians Staved off further dam age until the seventh when both Peters and Mohler singled with no one out. Nick Williams picked out a ball com ing to order and shot It apparently high enough to clear Fltzsimmons and make three bases. Fltzsimmons made a leap for the flying . ball, speared it. shot It to second and got Peters and a relay to first nipped Mohler, who had sprinted for second the minute the ball was cracked. This unusual bit of luck put heart into Covaleskie and cheered up the whole Spokane team and they played their heads" off, preventing further scoring by Portland. While Portland's play was not up to standard, yet none of the bobbles cost a run, Spokane' being compelled to make clean hits in order to get men over the rubber.

WOLVEHIOX DENIES REPORT Sacramento Manager Says He Is Xot Trying to Buy Team. "There is absolutely no truth in the reported deal whereby I am to unite with Ed Wolter and buy the Sacra- r mento Coast League baseball fran chise. Thus did Harry Wolverton, Sacra mento manager, spike a Wolverton Wolter amalgamation rumor going the rounds at Oakland and San Francisco. "Absolutely no negotiations of any kind have been opened, and I am puz zled to know how such a report could have been started," added Wolverton, who is here with his Senators playing the Portland club. Jack Atkin, Sacramento owner, is also a Portland visitor, and he, .like wise, ridicules the canard. Atkin says Bears Increase Lead in Western Trl-State. .
