Ven ice drove two Portland pitchers from the mound today, won the game 6 to 2 and brought the record for the series between the leaders of the league up to two games for the Venetians against three victories for the Beavers. Henley pitched a tight game, while his teammates bunched hits off Relger in the fourth Inning, scoring three runs and retiring Reiger, and then gave Evans a taste of the same medi cine in the sixth when three more tallies were made. Thrice did McCredie strive to stem the onslaugts of the Germans, but old General Hogan. christened Wray In Wurtemburg, was not to be denied and ordered his men to keep on storming the forts long after ita need had van ished. Rleger, Evans and Marttnonl were called upon to stop Venice, but It was useless and 10 hits, the most made by a home team since the deep enow, were gathered off the trio. Korea and Lober tried their old trick of batting out the game along about dusk and it wasn't their fault they didn't succeed. Korea got his usual triple and Lober also got his safety, but both came in the seventh with no one else on bases. This combination gave the Beavers their last run. The first one was grabbed right at the start, when Davis singled, stole second and scored while McArdle was playing one-old-cat with Doane' grounder. The real bombardment started in the fourth. We use the word "bombard ment" in earnest, because four singles came right in succession, then a miss and then a double, and it was such an unearthly proceeding that the big gang of fans present sat speechless. Borton, Hosp, McArdle and Elliott tore oft one-basers as quick as they could get up to the plate, the last rap seeing Mr. Reiser get the hook. Then Henley gave McCredie time to get his breath by fanning, but Carlisle greeted Evans with a double and three men were safe at home. By the time the sixth rolled around the crowd was in Its right mind again and yelled like wild men when McArdle, Elliott and Henley singled in quick succession. Henley's rap scored McArdle. Carlisle flew out. Leard walked, filling the bases, and Meloan's single brought El liott and Henley home. After that Martinoni did the heavy work for Port land and managed to get by without a puncture. The series is three to two for the Beavers, with two games to morrow.

BY SHAD O. KRANTZ. CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 8. (Special.) It's not the fault of the ex-Portland players on the Cleveland team that the Naps are no better than eighth in the American League race. The four ex-Beavers Graney, Olson, Steen and Hagerman who remain here are playing up to first division form, and were their team-mates able to play the game as consistently as they the Clevelanders would be fighting for a place up near the top Instead of dragging along disrespectfully in lone some last. Although the Portland contingent has been playing steady ball all season they always are at their best when visitors from Portland are present to see them in action. Last Sunday, in the first game of the Washington series. Manager Birming ham sent Steen In to pitch In honor of a delegation of Portland rolks who were on hand. Ex-Portlandcrs Bat Heavy. Cleveland won easily, 8 to 4, the ex Beavers being largely responsible for the victory. Qraney made a perfect record at bat, getting three hits In three times up. one of his drives being good for three bases. Olson came through with a home run and a two baearer out of five trips to the plate. Steen himself contributed a single to Cleveland's galaxy of 18 hits. The Coasters played errorless ball and con tributed great doses of pep and vin egar to the game. "You fellows stick around here for a couple of weeks," remarked Olson to the Portland visitors after the game, "and we'll have this team out toward the front battling for the lead." "Yes, we always lay our best when we know there's someone from Port land in the grandstand," declared Gra ney. The next day Birmingham sent Hagerman In, inasmuch as the Port land visitors were there again. Rip got away to a bad start and was taken out of the box after errors on the part of his team-mates had allowed the. Senators to score a run In the first. There was nothing ne matter with Hagerman's pitching, and the fans cheered him as he walked to the bench. All the Portland players are popular in Cleveland. The fans think partic ularly well of Olson, who has been playing the difficult role of succes sor to Larry Lajoie at seoond base. Although "Ole" has played in every position, excepting behind the bat and in the box. since coming to Cleveland, he finds second the hardest place to play, and solely because he Is re quired to follow in the footsteps of the illustrious Lajoie. Olson In Lajole's Place. Another thing, the Frenchman and OlEon have been and are close per sonal friends, and Olson is particu larly sensitive about appearing as If trying to crowd Lajoie out of his place. But it is certain that Larry has lost his permanent job on the team. Someone has to take his place and It is a cinch that Olson will be selected. Birmingham already has formed the habit of referring to the ex-Portland star as "my second baseman." Although the fans realise that Lajoie, on account of hia years, has seen his best days as a player, the recent ef forts of Manager Birmingham and Owner Somers to obtain waivers on him aroused considerable disapproval. Only the fact that no other team wanted to assume his contract of 39000 a year prevented him from being sold. Clark Griffith, of Washington, wanted him but didn't want to pay him that much money. Frank Chance, of New York, would like to have him, too. Everyone around here believes that if Larry gets with a first division team where he will get a little more en couragement from both his employers and the public, he will be good for sev eral more years of first-class ball. Discord Rumor Afloat. There are rumors of discord and dis sension among the Cleveland players and now that the team Is a hopeless tail-ender a lot of baseball patrons want to see Manager Birmingham de posed. Of course, that always hap pens to the manager of & losing toam. It Is charged, however, that Lajole's failure to hit this year Is due largely to the fact that he and Blrmy do not get along well together. Lajoie, it Is known, Is very sensitive and needs to be humored Rnd encouraged. .If he doesn't get this kind of treatment it Is Impossible for him to play up to his best form. The recent trade of Vean Gregg for three players of doubtful value on the Boston team also has failed to meat with approval on the part of the pub- lie. Gregg has not been going good on account of a sore arm. This wing was just getting into condition when he was shifted over to Boston. "It may help me some to be with a first-division team." said Gregg before leaving here last week. Vean. like the other Portland play ers, has been popular in Cleveland, and the fans hated to see him go. Recip rocally, the Portland boys are well satisfied with their berths in Cleve land. Steen Llkea Cleveland. "Next to Portland I iould rather play in Cleveland than any city I know of," says Steen. "But Portland comes first," insisted Graney. "Just tell McCredie that when I get through here I want to come back and play with him. I am glad to see them up there In llrst place again this year. No one deserves better to win than Mac." "Yes, remember us to McCredie and all our old Portland friends," added Olson. "Tell them that we are plug ging hard for the Beavers to win again this year." Olson and his wife expect to pass the Winter in Los Angeles and may visit Portland before reporting at the Cleve land training camp next Spring. His wife Is a Kansas City girl and she has heard her husband talk so much about Portland that she wants to give the place at least the once over. O'Loiigblln Hurries Batters. Silk OLoughlln, the veteran Ameri can League umpire, who put the word "tuh" into the dictionary, now has a new hobby. It grew out of his desire to hasten the playing and shorten up the games a bit. "Come on, boys," he will begin to drawl as soon as a batter leaves the plate. "Who's the batter7" he will urge, and Intersperse these utterances with sharp, crisp cries of "batter up" until the next man takes his place before the pitcher. Although the players have become so used to It that they seem to pay little attention to his words, it Is noticed that little time Is lost In the games where "Silk" officiates. CAR OF TROUT DISTRIBUTED Largest Shipment Sent Front State Hatchery Goes to Molalla. MOLALLA, Or., Aug. 8. (Special.) F. E. Ervin, Deputy State Game War den, yesterday delivered the largest car of live trout ever sent out of the Btate hatchery to be distributed In fishing streams which abound in the foothills south and east of this place.

Outfielder Felch, of the Milwaukee Association baseball team, today was sold to the Chicago American League Club for $12, 000 cash and an inflelder and outfielder. Felch is to finish, the season in Milwaukee. THE HAGUE PEACE TRIBUNAL HAS NOTHING ON THE SPORTING EDITOR NOWADAYS. EVERS' WORDS TRUE Prediction That Boston's 'Pep' Would Tell Is Fulfilled. SCOREBOARD IS DENOUNCED Christy Mathewson Declares Bulle tins Have Harmful Result on Players MoGraw Also Against Thenx-jlants' Youth Hope. BY CHRISTY MATHBWSON. The Giants' Star Pitcher. NEW YORK. Aug. -'Special.) Jus, before the Boston clb -tarted west on its last trip and the fine win ning streak that finally Carried 1U Into the first division, "Johnny Evers saio. t0"Tve may not be a contender this Matty but there is a lot of pep our oVub and I figure are going to take the heart out of two or three teams up there fighting for the lead b1hort7ye fallings broke lat Chicago and took three out of four from the Cubs just when the Chi cago team had a chance to climb into flr Plac because the Cardinals were trimming the Giants. Next, the Bwton club moved into St. Louis while the Giants were breaking even with the Cubs and stopped the Cardinals at a time when they had a grand oppor tunity to move up within striking dis tance of the front. Later, when the Western clubs came East, the Cubs made their first stop In Boston when they were hanging to the Giants heels. The Braves gave them a battle all the wav and took two out of three games from them, thus handing us a chance to gain slightly. Evers predic tion came very true. There Is no use taiKing. j." v, .. club is playing wonderful ball, and at r,a. mav even do better than Evers predicted. It may become a contender in another month if the leaders should be attacked with a spell of sloppy ball such as they had about a month ago. You can never tell In this freak year. Anyway, we are all afraid of Boston when we meet it In a Berles. A team like the Boston club decides many a pennant race, even if it is not up among the pacemakers Itself, be cause it has the ability to beat the best of them and carries a punch that all the other clubs are afraid of. It also had a psychological w"a"'B The Cubs, for instance, were fighting i within strlkine- distance of the Giants, when they came East, which meant that they would have to win every time the Giants came through with a victory to hold their position. Realizing tins wnen mey wem. in each game, they divided their atten tions between their own battle and the bulletin board to observe the prog ress of the Giants' contest. They were ' " playing under a strain, while the Bos ton club had the fight and go and no such immediate big stake to work. for. Therefore, the latter's players natural ly felt that they could afford to take bigger chances. The bulletin boards in the parks may be a good thing for the specta tors, to keep them in touch with the progress of the various games, but they are harmful to the players in a tight race of this sort. The men on the teams fighting for the lead watch the score of the important game of the contenders as it is posted, and uncon sciously It often distracts their atten tion from their work in hand. "If I had anything to say about It," complained McGraw one day when half of his players were anxiously watch ing the Cubs' score hung out in Bos ton. "I would not have a bulletin board In the nark. It only adds to the strain on a team fighting for the pennant. I'm going to fine the next man I find watching that score board." I don't look to see the race in the National League between the Giants and the Cubs hold up as close as it has been much longer. The strain is too great, and one of the teams la bound to break under it. It has kept Mc Graw driving every inch of the dis tance recently, but I figure that our club has an advantage over the Cubs just now. We have come through a slump, and the play of the team Is improving, with the staff delivering, better pitching. The Cubs are playing away from home and O'Day cannot be classed with McGraw when it comes to pushing a team and getting every ounce of base ball out of It. The series between the two clubs this week Is an extremely Important one and may crack one of the teams. Baseball machines will split open all of a sudden. On the other hand, there are a lot of steady veterans among the Cubs, while the Giants have a collection of young timber in the lineup. Chicago is most apt to weaken In the pitching staff, as some of the twlrlers are get ting the big share of the work. Che ney Is not as strong as he was, for O'Day has kept him at It very steadily. The Giants' staff Is in better shape right now than It has been at any other time this season. FEDERAL LEAGUE. Kansas City 8, Buffalo 2. KANSAS CITY. Aug. 8.
