Baseball's cosmopolitan character is exemplified ably and fully by the Sacramento Coast League Club, which finishes a week's series in Portland this afternoon. Wolverton has lined up under his standards no less than six different nationalities. If they were paid for talking they would land the Coast League gonfalon hands down Sacramento boasts of the only Hawaiian and Spanish ballplayers In the Pacific Coast League, and, perhaps, the only Hawaiian In big league ball in America. Frank Arellanes, pitcher is of pure Castllian descent, while Johnny "Williams, another twlrler, nails from Honolulu. . He has some English blood in his veins. "- ' Kenworthy represents the English on the Senatorial roster, although Wolverton and Moran also come of English stock away back. Of Irish and German there are plenty. Jimmy Lewis, Tom Tennant and Klnsella all have the map of Erin plastered across their physiognomies. Klawitter, Reitmayer and Van Burerf are German. Wolverton and several of the remaining Senators claim America as their foster mother. FREE REIN MAY MEAN LUCK TO BEAVER TEAM Winning Streak Follows Reported Throwing to Winds of Caution and Inside Baseball Knowledge, by Manager McCredie. TV STORY on Walter McCredie that is worthy repeating Is going the rounds in California, al though the Portland Coast League man ager merely smiles when quizzed as to Its veracity. The local Spoonbills, Beavers or whatever you are a mind to call them. were down near the cellar when they left home over a fortnight ago aboard train for California. McCredie nat urally was puckered in the mouth, and he is credited with calling his men to gether in the parlor car and thus ad dressing them: "I. want you fellows to understand that I don't care a blankety blank whoop what the blazes you do. Chase the bright lighds all you want. Throw all your Inside baseball knowledge Into a grip and go out and win some ball games. Go up there at bat and slash and cut at the ball like a bunch of school kids, and maybe we can win a few games. I am-paying you all good money and have spent a lot of money gathering you together. Now you are not winning and I am being blamed. "Chase yourselves around the block. Make this a Joy club for all I care. You can't do worse." Now, those may not have been Mac's exact words. And they probably weren't, because he has always been bitterly opposed .to the so-called Joyful pro pensities of various ball nines and In dividuals with whom business had brought him in contact. There may have been more expletives and ejacu lations in McCredie's brief tirade. But the sum and substance of it was that "Mac" was disgusted and told the boys so in pointed diction. History does not record whether the players followed McCredie's instruc tions, but the percentage column re veals that the Beavers won 11 out of 16 games on the road trip and returned home in the first division only a few games from the top and a real pennant contender. Yes indeed, this . is a queer hemis phere! B UD ANDERSON'S defeat by Leach Cross July 4 at Vernon proved the prime pugilistic boomerang of the year along the Pacific Coast. Bud was supposed to be about as safe to fool with as an unloaded revolver. No body ever had the temerity to suggest that the Vancouver boy possessed any cleverness to speak of, but he was credited with a kick in either hand and a backfire calculated to neutralize all science in the books. As a matter of fact had Buddy been matched against a clever fighter of the Ritchie-Rivers type his chances would have been infinitely better than against a slugger of the Cross caliber, a rough and rugged veteran admittedly quicker and shiftier, just as awkward and as hard a biffer. Cross did not outbox Anderson, if we are to Judge from the press reports from the ringside. -He simply beat him to every punch by more experienced timing, and when Anderson did turn his occasional 13-inch battery loose, he found his target better able to assiml late the punishment than he himself was able to bear. There are those who condemn Ander son's manager for pushing him ahead too fast. Perhaps there is some Justin cation In the criticism. But that same criticism was voiced before the Knock out Brown battles, when Buddy brought home the bacon amidst wild huzzas. Anderson is not down and out yet, as many of his, former friends seem to be lieve. This same Cross lad. It will be recalled by those pugilistically well inrormea, went the kndekout route when he was breaking his first division shell. Cross left New York and trav eled all the way to San Francisco to meet Dick Hyland, and "Fighting Dick' THE SUNDAY OKKGtml.-VX, FOKTLATTD, tTUXjY O, 1113. SACRAMENTO COAST LEAGUE BALL CLUB put him to sleep in 41 rounds at Colma, June 26, 1909. Reverse comes to everybody. Samson lost his hair and then came back; Bat Nelson lost to Gans and then became champion; Ritchie lost to Welsh and then won the title;' Roosevelt lost his pajamas and then proved total abstain ance. Sic Semper! Anderson may have to start his long climb all over again, but we all know ne nas the goods to be in the very front ranks with Ritchie, Rivers, Welsh, Cross, Britton and McFarland. He has proved that in all his fights, and If experience is what Bud lacks it will be only a matter of another year before he will be back as a headllner, snap ping at the shanks of the greatest potentates of the prize ring. HILB the Thames and Poueh- keepsie regattas are almost an cient "history, so- far as news values go, an interested querant asks why Harvard and Yale do not row in the four and eight-oared Poughkeepsle regatta against the other colleges of the East. Just why the two bier- universities fight shy of the crews from the rival institutions, they themselves know best. But a deadly parallel on the times of the various events at the New London and Poughkeepsle regattas, suggests that both Yale and Harvard are wise in padlocking their prestige behind the sham of commoness. The deadly parallel on timing shows that every one of the eight-oared crews in the Poughkeepsle race would have beaten Yale or Harvard. After the two leaders, which will be used for comparison, comes Washington, 19:33; Wisconsin, 19:36; Columbia, 19:38; Penn sylvania, 20:111-5. Four of the six crews In the four oared race would have beaten Harvard, and all that finished would have beaten Yale. Cornell, Syracuse, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Columbia freshmen would have beaten both the Crimson and Bulldog freshles. xne parauei on tne leading crews proves this: At New June 20.

Present Season to Be Better Finan cially Than Last Year in AH Leagues, Thinks Proctor. ' , That the talk which has been preva lent during the past year to the effect that baseball is gping back and that It has reached the height of its popular ity is absolutely baseless, and that the game Is more successful and better ap preciated than ever, is the contention of Jack Proctor, one of the baseball au thorities, -writing for the Chicago Trib une. . Proctor admits that 1912 was an off year, but he goes on to show that the first months of the 1913 season more than counterbalance the weak finances of last year. If the officials of the major leagues may be believed, 1913 shows marked improvement over several of the past years. The American League Is far ahead of Its corresponding receipts of last year, while the National League BOASTS OF SIX DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES BANDED UNDER ONE has made up in some cities what it haa lost In others. , The American Association also shows a good gain, and this is one of the leagues which was reported as some what under the weather last year. In the major leagues it becomes more apparent each year that the winning teams are the real money-makers. In former years the fans turned out to see the game for itself, but now the demand is for the home team to be a consistent winner. The same seems to be applicable to the Coast League and other minors, those teams which iare at the bottom of the ladder being far behind the lead ers as money-makers. He also goes on to show that the fans In the minor leagues really get more for their money than the fans In the majors. In the big leagues, teams move very slowly from one, end of the scale to the other. Such reverses as nave taken place In the Coast League are very scarce in deed. The fan at the big games has more to base his prediction on, accord ing to Proctor, than the minor league follower, and as & -result the uncer tainty of the smaller leagues makes it really better appreciated. amis.

RACE STARTS ANEW Western Tri-State to Begin Second Series All Even. SALE OF PLAYERS PENDING Walla Walla, Pennant Winner of First Half, to Play Post-Season Series With Flag Winners of Second Race. BOISK, Idaho, July 5. (Special.) The Western Trl-State - League will close the first half of its official sched ule tomorrow, and Tuesday will open a new one. The league opened with six clubs. Today it is composed of four, .two of the six clubs that started Baker and La Grande having dropped out. To the Bears of Walla Walla is given the high percentage average of the first half of the season, for they finish almost 100 points ahead of the other teams in the league. The league has developed some re markably fast material that will go into faster company and for whose dis posal negotiations are now on. Frlene, Gard and Reams will be sold by Boise to Northwestern League clubs, while "Big" Steve Melter, the ex-Northwestern League pitcher, ' who started with Spokane, but .was released ' and joined Boise, is now being .dickered for. A price of $1000 has" been placed on Mel ter by the JSoise management. Scouts Look Over Mayers. It is understood thaf Jlmmle Rich ardson, local scout for a higher class league. Is negotiating for the big pitcher. Melter loeks good and has been going fine ' since the season opened. Harmon, center fielder; Lundstrum, shortstop; Martini. left fielder, and Tiny ieonard, the big raised-ball pitching artist with' the Bears, will be sold. Terry McKune, manager of the Pendleton Bucks, is confident of getting good money for Jamleson, the ex-La Grande pitching star, signed when that club blew up, and for Augustus, third baseman; Lo dell, f irst-sacker, and Rader, shortstop. McKune also signed carl King, ex manager of . the La- Grande club as utility catcher and fielder. King finds it more profitable playing than lending money as manager to ballplayers. Byrnes, the Bucks' catcher, was re leased by the Pendleton management. Grover is the saleable man with the North Yakima tribe. The new schedule for the second half of the season has been perfected. It goes into effect next Tuesday, when the four clubs in the league start the second lap with even percentages in a race for honors. Sevf Schedule Framed. Boj.se opens next Thursday at Boise with the Bucks, while North Yakima opens at Walla Walla. The four clubs are- evenly matched, and the last lap in the race will be far more interest ing than the first. Should any one of the three other clubs in the league win the high standing in the second" half of the pennant race. It qualifies to meet Walla Walla In a series of seven games to decide the championship. The series for each week, as arranged by the new schedule, the first to open next Tuesday, follows: July 8 to 13 Pendleton at Boise, Walla Walla at North Yakima. July 15 to 20 Walla Walla at Pen dleton, Boise at North Yakima. July 22 to 27 North Yakima at Pen dleton, Boise at Walla Walla. ' July 29 to August 3 North Yakima at Boise, Pendleton at Walla Walla. August 5 to 10 Pendleton at Bolsn, Walla Walla at North Yakima. August 12 to 17 Walla Walla at Boise, Pendleton at North Yakima. August 19 to 24 Boise at Pendle ton, North Yakima at Walla Walla. August 26 to 31 North Yakima at Boise, Pendleton at Walla Walla. September . 2 to 7 Walla Walla at Boise, Pendleton at North Yakima. Boise gets six series at home under' the new schedule. Walla Walla four. North Yakima five and Pendleton CLUB, ' M'RINHITV three. With the exception of three weeks, Boise has continuous baseball during the remainder of the season. M' DONALD IS STAR BATSMAN Loud Over Others in National League Is About 80 Points. CHICAGO, July 5. C. McDonald, the Boston Nationals' star hitter, has raised his batting average to .432. ac cording to unofficial figures published today. His lead virtually is 80 points over his nearest rival. Only six of his 38 hits so far have been for extra bases three triples and three dou bles. Crandall of New York is next in the National with .353, Cravath of Phila delphia had .346, Hyatt of Pittsburg .341, Daubert of Brooklyn .338, and Wingo of St. Louis .336. Cobb is gaining slowly on Jackson for the leadership in Hie American League. Jackson has an average of .404 and Is about to made the first cen tury in either league, for up to . the date of compiling the figures for the week he has 97 hits. Cobb's average is .397. This Speaker ranks third in the American with .371. E. Collins ot Philadelphia is fourth with .352, D. Murphy of Philadelphia has .348, and Blanding of Cleveland .346. Milan's stolen bases now number 41. His nearest rival in the American League is B. Collins with 27. Lohart of Philadelphia, Doyle of New York and Myers of Boston are tied for the Nationals' base-stealing honors with 21 each. Stovall Has Browns on Move. George T. Stovall, now manager of the St. Louis Browns, has certainly "grabbed things by the tail" to get to his present place of prominence. He is now given credit for moving the Browns from the bottom of the league, where it had been for quite a while. In.. 1903 Stovall had an awful time Landing a Job.' He played, with five different teams of minor leagues and did not seem to fit well. In 1904 he asked every manager of the American Association for a trial, but tailed to get a reply from any of them. He did get a Job in one ot the other leagues and accepted with the determination to "show somebody up." Now looks as if he did.

Above, In brief, may be summarized the most noteworthy pitching of the Northwestern League season to and Including the games of July 1. The work of about four of the lot stands out like a sore thumb. "Iron Man" McGinnity (who would better he watching out or some major leacrue club will draft him). Southpaw Stanley, Charley Schmutz and "Weiser" Dell. McGinnity has taken part in no fewer than 36 games of Tacomas' 79, and has pitched a little more than 30 per cent of the total number of inningrs played by his team. Of course, thev can get hits off the "Iron Man" but runs? and walks? Only 33 of the 860 men who have faced him took free transportation, or 3.8 per cent. Stanley leads all pitchers In the number of swabs with the whitewash brush, and has held hits and runs down to a skinny margin. Hynes' record is impressive, but he has been in condi- . tion so little of the time as to impair his real usefulness to the Portland club. Dell leads in strikeouts, and at the same time has given the greatest num ber of bases on balls. Narveson is the league's kingpin bean ball artist. There have been 1 casualties in the games the wild-cat Swede has worked for Victoria. While Hynes has nom inally the best wining percentage, the .-real honor belongs to Glpe of Seattle, who has been on the bench two weeka with a sore arm. Meek has dropped below the .400 bat. ting mark, but still continues to be the league's leader by a wide margin. Young Mclvor keeps oa plunking out hits in the few games he works. Kip pert is slumping. Spokane pitchers SO. BB. WP. HB. W. Tj. Pet. Toner 71 64 s 6 i u 3.-,;!

Rumor has it that a big shakeup Is impending in the Oaklaftd club. It i-4 said that the blue slip will be passed next week to Gregory. Crisp, Guest and Schlrm, with Cy Parkin hanging to his job by an eyelash. Gregory has gone back to-such an ex. tent that he is absolutely a detriment to the club. Crisp has proved a joke a. a catcher, while Guest has not helpe.d much in his role of utility infielder. Schirm came here highly "touted" and he has shown that he knows baseball. But he has been bothered constantly by "charley horse," his throwing arm is woefully weak and he has not been able to play up to expectations. Several new men are in sight who. it Is believed, will strengthen up the club materially.
