Rattles seized the Beavera yesterday
Just when victory seemed the one best
ret. Portland went Into the ninth a
6-4 favorite, and then, amidst scenes
of wildest excitement, Venice staged
a Garrison finish, scoring; four runs
in the last Inning- off Higa-inbotham
and James, and winning:. S to 6.
McCredie's machine sprung- weak
nesses la what have been considered
Its strongest sections In the box and
In the middle field. Not only did
the fighting; Tigers pound Higgrln
botham from the mound, but the tab
bies kept on thumping big Bill James
And that wasn't all.
Chet Chadbourne obligingly inserted
a mlscue in the midst of the uproar
and before Chad could go back to the
fence and relay Carlisle's single In
to his compatriots three men. Includ
ing Carlisle, had crossed the plate.
Chad Kail, to Hit.
Chad tried to take Carlisle's line
drive on the dead run, hoping to kill
McDonnell off at the plate with the
winning run. but the ball got by him.
Chadbourne doesn't flounder often In his
illustrious campaigning, but he had an
off day all around yesterday. Inci
dentally Chad failed to secure a hit and
broke up his record-smashing series of
18 consecutive games of batting.
Happy Hogan enjoyed a great hulla
balo after the nlnth-lnnlng rally. But
you can bet a nickel against a million
that the scrappy Venice manager expe
rienced one of the most : disagreeable
afternoons of his bright young life In
the winning.
Portland not only pounded our old
friend, Elmer Koestner. off the mound
again in one inning, under an avalanche
of four runs, but the Mac km en likewise
put the skids under Roy Hltt. In
fact, Hogan's pitchers had almost a
quorum in the statistics before the
milling finally wound up.
Griffin relieved Hltt in the eighth,
and as he gave way to a pinch hitter
in the ninth, Southpaw Raleigh fin
ished. Rollcall, therefore, showed four
of the eight in the lineup at sundry
times. Likewise It looked like fare
well to Raleigh in the ninth when
Speas and Rodgers started off with
singles, but Raleigh tightened and came
out all right. Simultaneously. 3800 fans
filed silently from the sepulchre.
Terrific swatting by Johnny Kane,
adgers and Hlgglnbotham featured.
K-ne amassed three of the Tigers'
r.l. hits; Rodgers and Hlgglnbotham
three apiece of 11 for the Mackmen.
Umpires Bush and Guthrie umpired
a good game of ball, but, like the
men who built the palace and forgot
to put a bathroom In It. the arbiters
made one mental bobble and It cost
Bill Rodgers 72 packages of the weed
that Sir Walter Raleigh lost his head
over.
The umps failed to note an inquisi
tive fan perched on the right-field
balcony, and. when Rodgers drove a
home run up on the runway. Dickey
Bayless persuaded said "two-bit" spec
tator to touch the ball. Under ground
rules that forced Rodgers to retrace
his steps to second base and Bill lost
a home run.
This freaky seventh-Inning episode
fortunately didn't affect the final result,
for Rodgers scored a moment later on
singles by Lindsay and Doane. but
It gave the fans a lot to buzs about.
Bearers Score Four la First.
Concerning details, Portland scored
four runs off Koestner in the first
frame: Venice came back with two In
the third off Hig: Portland tacked on
another off Griffin In the seventh;
Venice gnawed two more off Hlggln
botham's shoots In the eighth on walk
and hits by Kane and Bayless.
The Tiger four In the ninth have
already been chronicled, but here's
more light on tl.e shadows:
O'Rourko opened with a single to
center and caused McCredie to der
rick Hlgglnbotham On the Jump. Lltechl
filed to Lindsay, making one out, but
James, who had relieved Hlg, couldn't
stand prosperity and McDonnell was
walked. A single through Rodgers by
Klliott scored O'Rourke with the tying
run.
Hogan at this Juncture sent Ster
ret up to bat for Griffin, but the young
Princeton collegian filed to right for
the second out.
Fans began to breathe easier. James
appeared to have a lot of stuff on the
ball. But the stuff was apparently to
the liking of Carlisle, for he singled
to center field on a line. This was
the hit Chadbourne tried to scoop on
the run. hoping to catch McDonnell
at the plate. The ball trickled through
Chad's legs to the fence and three runs
sewed up the matlneo.

MANAGER M'CREDIE TRADES BALL
PLAYERS TO ADD ZEST TO THE GAME
Leader of Portland Beavers Has Many Notable Deals to His Credit, and Would Not Trade Bull Pup for the
Tacoma Team.
BT ROSCOB FAWCETT.
MAKE trades partly to strength
en my club, but principally to
add new zest and excitement byl
giving the fans something to talk
about." y
So vouchsafed Walter McCredie, man
ager of the thrice champion Portland
Coast Leaguers, Ire a fanning bee yes
terday. Taking Mac at hia word, the Port
land boss has surely added stimula
tion to many a hard-fought campaign.
He has maneuvered, perhaps, more
deals than any other Coast magnate.
and Is entitled to the crown as the
original David Harum of the Baum
circuit.
McCredie has been handed many a
lemon in his brotherly batterings. But,
to offset tho failures, he has uncov
ered several big league stars via the
same wishbone counter route, and,
when Mac was persuaded to delve back
In the details of some of his ex
changes, some interesting reading mat
ter was brought to the sunlight.
see
JJREDIE'S biggest trade' years
M
have been 1905 and 1913, In the
former campaign Mac robbed Mike
Fisher of a pennant by trading Schaf-
ley and Atz to Los Angeles for two sus
pended players. Smith and Tim Flood.
McCredie characterizes tho deal as a
spite" trade, for he pulled it to get
back at Fisher for a "dirty' deal the
latter gave him In invading his train
ing camp at Bakersrield In the Spring.
Fisher offended by scheduling a game
between Tacoma and Chicago In the
park McCredie was uslng for training
purposes.
At any rate, McCredie got double re
venge, for rain crimped the exhibition
game, and on top of that Los Angeles
was enabled to win over Tacoma In the
playoff for the pennant, thanks to Mc
Credie's ' reinforcements. Flood and
Smith had been suspended for attack
ing Umpire Davis, and without substi
tutes tho Angels would have been pow
erless against the terrible Tacoma
Tigers of that Fall.
e e
BUT that hag not been the only pen
nant race swayed by McCredie's
bartering,. You don't need to go far
ther back than the present campaign
to find another striking object lesson.
McCredie this year secured Harry
Krause; Southpaw Stanley, Bill James,
Elmer Lober and Al Carson via the
trade route. Eliminate Krause. James
and Lober from the present club, and
second division would be the Portland
roost.
McCredie will get $2500 for James as
a result of the draft the other day by

Portland? Exactly one ball player,
Ben Henderson by name. McCredie ad
mitted as much for the first time yes
terday. Henderson Is now back In San
Francisco, after falling to make good
with the Toledo American Association
club.
"I gave Dave Gregg to Toledo for
Harry Krause," explained McCredie,
and, while I got far the best of it so
far ag comparing the players Is con
cerned, I had a big cash offer from
Philadelphia for Gregg, so don't figure
I'm much ahead."
Gregg started the year at Cleve
land, was shunted to Toledo, then to
Waterbury, Conn., where he lost seven
straight, and Is now back at Cleveland
under his big brother's wing.

MANAGER McCREDIE admits that
I I Hogan, of Ventae, got the better
of the Carson-Koestner dicker, but I
says he made up for that and then
some when he persuaded Los Angeies
to give him Lober and a $300 cash bonus
for adlpoise-burdened Artie Krueger.
'Til tell you the inside of that Car-eon-Koestner
deal," interjected big
Mac. "Originally I wanted- to give Ho
Ban Catcher Howley and Koestner for
Catcher Brown and Carson. Brown was
a better receiver than Howley, and I
figured the deal would be fair.-
"But Hogan finally said he had a sale
on for Brown to the Boston Nationals,
o kept pestering me for Koestner and
Carson alone. Finally l gave in. tar-
son appears to be slipping a little, but
Koestner has come back and Is doing
fine work.
"However," added McCredie, "I guess
I did Just as well, anyway, for later
I traded Howley to the Philadelphia
Nationals for Etanley and Loan and
got a big cash bonus In the deal."
Brown did not stick at Boston and is
now wit:t Toronto, while Howley has
been ser t to Montreal of the same
league. Portland released Loan out
right, but Stanley is still with Port
land.
rVf AL KITTRIDGE, when managing a
I I minor league club, once sold a
player who bad had both arms cut off
In a railroad wreck.
McCredie hasn't been victimised' in
any such transactions, but he candidly
admits he has been buncoed on more
than one occasion.
Mention Charley Fullerton to him
and Walt smiles one of those far-away
smiles denoting unpleasant dreams.
That was one Instance where he was
flagrantly outgeneraled.
Two years ago Mac had It In his
head to grab a southpaw to succeed
Vean Gregg. After much scouting Mac
finally settled upon Ferd Henkel, a
former University of Oregon star, then
twirling for Seattle. Fullerton had
been wild In his few starts for Port
land, so McCredie offered Dugdale the
little spltballer for Henkel.
Dugdale bit, the two changed places
and never did a new recruit make his
debut under more extraordinary or aus
picious circumstances than this same
Henkel. On his first appearance in a
Portland uniform Ferd startled the
baseball world by pitching a no-hit, no
run game.
But that was the flash in his pan.
He fizzled from that day, and soon
landed outside the pale of organized
baseball. Ferd is now employed by a
local electrical concern, while Fuller
ton is the pitching mainstay of the
Seattle team.
McCredie got Fullerton originally for
the asking. ' He picked him up. a free
agent, from a disrupted New England
League club, so after all perhaps Mac
didn't lose so much as some or us ng-
ure
e e
IN addition to his Los Angeles deal
back in 1805, McCredie manipulated
the famous Beck-Nadeau vs. Ats-French
trade with New Orleans. Shortstop Atz
afterwards went to tho big leagues.
That same year Walt sent Pitcher
Ham Iberg to Oakland for Larry
Schlaflcy, and the latter, after stick-inn-
around long enouprh to pull off his
historic unassisted triple play on the
local lot, was drafted from Los An
geles by Washington. Portland, now
ever srot the money.
Likewise, in 1905, McCredie put
through tho deal whereby Pitcher Jake
Thielman went to St. Louis in trade
for the celebrated Larry McLean. Mc
Lean recently figured in a deal be
tween New York and St. Louis. He is
now fiiant. Thielman is a brother
of Todd, the twirler released a few
davs ago by Portland.
McCredie slipped through a couple
of deals last season that have been al
most forgotten by local fans. Early
In the Winter he sent Catcher Murray
to St. Paul for Southpaw Stelger, and
both managers Kot stung. Murray Is
now in the Federal League and Stelger
In the Western.
The Gllllgan-Mahoney barter with
Sacramento will also be faintly re
called. Pitcher Gilllgan later drew an
outright release from Sacramento and
caught on with Minneapolis this Spring.
Mahoney was shunted soon after the
deal was- consummated to the Portland
Colts, and he's there yet
Unlike Dick Whittington, of London,
Walter McCredie may never succeed
in ascending the Lord Mayor's throne
via the pet cat route, but, take It from
me, Mac's a game guy. He says he's
willing to trade his brindle bull pup
for the Tacoma ball club, and any
body with the temerity to suggest that
risk must have, a wire-nall gizzard, i
