Portland divided two games with Sacramento yesterday and the series now stands five for the champs and one for the visitors. In the first same Southpaw v II llams clearly' outpointed Southpaw Krause and won. 6-4, despite some thrilling- fielding by Speas and Ban croft. In the main Krause was poorly supported. It was Portland's turn to play run-eheep-run in the second matinee, but run-sheep-run only half covers it. The score was 12 to z in tne Aiacamen s favor. Gregory opened for Sacramento against Pape. but he quit suddenly along about the sixth Inning with the score 6-1 against him and two on the sacks. Wolverton Ventures Out. Kid Kremer took a turn for two in nings and then the old Roman, Harry Wolverton, ventured out for the final frame. after batting Ineffectually with the bases loaded in the eighth. Wolverton didn't pitch so badly, viewed in, the retrospect, but the sup port he received was awful. European war correspondents have sunk a raft of battleships In the past two weeks, but the Sacs sunk more miscues in that inning than there are dreadnoughts in the combined navies of the alliance and entente. Umpire Guthrie called an armistice at 6:10 ostensibly on account of dark ness. Personally. I belteve it was for the purpose of burying the dead. Few men could hope to skeedaddle around the bases like the Beavers did in that second farce, and come out whole skinned. " Bancroft aaa Speas Sparkle. Tf some of them don't show up for today's double siege doing the "goose step" It will be a good advertisement for the liniment folk. Dave Bancroft and "William Bpeas were the big noises in the second game. Just to prove that no false alarm had been sent in earlier in the day, Ban croft bagged three hits and a walk in the 12-2 slaughter. Speas went httless, but he negotiated a Christmas-bargain catch off the left field fence that was a bigger prize than would have been the Lusltanla with Richard Harding Davis aboard. Cook and Coy proved most wide awake for the visitors in the field, and Orr and Hallinan at bat. Orr also pulled some world's championship talk on Umpire Guthrie, called him "horse shoes" or some such invidious speu donym and was kicked out of the first game. But he got back after the In termission. Cook Commands Praise Cook's bid to praise was made in the sixth Inning of the curtain game when i.. nnnmiit home from third base on a ihmw from Rvan to the plate. The ball beat him easily and he was headed back to third when Yantz Juggled the nitok thereupon turned and scudded home with what was then the winning run. -nnr." snoiled his good day. however, by' uncoiling three boots In the double bill.

Although Oakland hit Hub Pernoll, tho San Francisco pitcher, freely enough to day, had he not let go with two wild pitches in the third, the game must have gone more than nine innings for a score. As it was, the Oaks won I to 0. Seacher, the Oaks' centerflelder. fur nished the game's big sensation by stopping MundorfTs sizzling liner in the fifth with the tip of his glove. It was one of the season's most specta cular stabs, and it probably prevented the game being tied, as the bases later were filled in mat irame. nit scute.

BALL MAGNATES BLAMED FOR YEAR OF SPORT WAR Reorganization for Progress Only Thing That Can Save National Game, is Opinion of Sport Writer. ft-pHIS year, 1914, Is one of the black-! 1 est years in the lengthening an nals of our National game, by reason of the universal demoralization caused by the war between organized baseball and the Federals, the banal battles !n court, the mutinous disposition of the ball players, the constant exploitation of the financial aspect of the sport and the consequent disgust of the fan pub lic as manifested in the lack of inter est and decline In attendance the country over and the end is not yet." This straightforward summarization of baseball is culled from the lead ing editorial of Sporting Life, of Phil adelphia, one of the foremost baseball publications of the country. "The end is not yet." ' Too true. And what is the answer? The answer is that the sooner the big league magnates get somebody to kick them midway between the pistol and the flask pockets wise them up to what boobs they really are the sooner they sally forth and settle the disastrous muddle as far as their share in the turbulent cesspool is concerned, the sooner will baseball settle back upon its rock foundations. To all intents and purposes little can be done to cleanse the 1914 season. It must run Its appointed schedule as best It may. but this is the time to begin the reorganization for a not too certain future. More important to baseball than the terrible European war to Europe is the settlement of the baseball war which has been in. progress for nearly two seasons. One more year of 1914 retro gression would just about put the Na tional sport to a peaceful grave. THE big league "wise acres" talk volumes about organizing still an other league to combat the Federals. Why another league still further to stir the dregs? If there Is not room for three leagues there is not room for four. But the field id large enough for three leagues and the Feds have proved it. They have come through the fight with but little tarnish upon their es cutcheon, have waged a clean cam paign. The public should demand that the National Commission recognize the new league and save baseball not alone to the effete East but to the West, South and North, wherever baseball is played. The minors ought to have some rights In the fight and just now they are bearing the brunt of the battle. IN BASEBALL circles Walter McCredle is credited with being the Bhrewdest judge of baseball horseflesh west of the Mississippi River. The Portland Coast League manager has sent more men to the majors than any manager In the circuit and has won more pennants than any manager. His judgment, therefore, on present Coast League stock is of more than passing weight. Without further ado, here are the men McCredle thinks would make good In the major leagues: Sacramento Infielder Young, Pitch ers Stroud and Williams. San Francisco Infielder Corhan, Catcher Schmidt and Outfielder Fitz gerald. Venice Pitcher Klepfer, Catcher El liottt and Outfielder Bayleas. Los Angeles Catcher Boles and Pitcher Ehmke. Oakland Infielder Murphy, Outfield ers Middleton and Quinlan. Mack refuses to comment on the Portland major prospects, but it Is known that he figures Infielder Dave Bancroft the most promising youngster in the entire league. "I like Gus Fisher better than any of the catchers, too," added the big manager. "He is batting around .350 and playing remarkable ball. But Gus was up there at Cleveland and New York over a year and I guess they figure he is through. I don't." Captain Rodgers, Outfielders Doane. Lober and Speas and Infielder Derrick have all been boosted at different times by various Coast managers. Almost any one of these could make good with at least some of the major league clubs. ILL SPEAS was given a ' trial by but it was only a sham, trial at best He was not even nsed in the practice games and was sent back to the Colts as unripe goods. Bill finished with the Portland Coast club batting .322 and fielding, throw ing and running bases . like a young Tyrus Cobb. "They don't half look them over," remarked Buddy Ryan, in conversation with the writer a day or two ago. "Take this Southpaw Williams, of Sac ramento, as a sample. Williams is as good a pitcher as I have faced in sev eral years. He was tried in one game this Spring, by Detroit and then shipped back to die in the minors. "And yet they say there isn't mate rial enough for three big leagues." . AMERICAN LEAGUE. Boston 1, New York 0. BOSTON Aug. 16.

Despite the miserable condition of affairs in Jhe entire baseball world, the big men of the sport give no signs of desire or ability to ijlso to a situation which" demands peace, precadent to necessary reorganisa tion. Organized ball is continuing its policy of sequestering all avail able players, while the Federal 'League Is continuing its raiding ef forts, both for the present season and next year. Meantime the play era are not only reaping a golden harvest, but they are also running things with a high hand as witness the recent riot at Detroit, which may yet be the medium for an other row between the powers of organized ball and the Players' Fraternity, at a time when the game U more sorely in need of peace, pood will and united up building efforts than ever before. box In tho second game.

Great Tennis Seen. FOREST HILLS. L. I., Aug. 15. After a 12 months' stay in the United States the Davis cup, .the trophy which car ries with It the world's team tennis championship, has resumed its Interna tional travels. On the turf courts of the West Sido Tennis Club here this afternoon, the Australasian team. chHllonger for th trophy, clinched Its claim to the silver bowl by winning the third and decis ive match of the tournament from the) American team, holder and defender of the much-coveted prlic. Norman E. Brookes, captain anil leader of the Antlpodeans. and R. Nor rls Williams II. America's second rank ing player, were tho two contestants in the final battle, which marked ths passing of the cup. Korty-twe Ciames Required. While the greatest gathering of ten nis enthusiasts that ever assembled for an International tennis mutch looked on. Brookes defeated his youthful op ponent. 6-1. 6-2, 8-10. 6-3. The victory, added to those of Wild ing over Williams on Thursday and Brookes and Wilding over McLoughlln and Bundy in the doubles yesterday, gave Australasia the three out of flv matches necessary for possession of the cup. Following this contest McLaughlin defeated Wilding. 6-2. 6-3. 2-6. 6-2. but tho result had no International bearing, being merely a masterful exhibition of the court game such as only players or this caliber can give. McLaughlin Werld'a Ilea. However, it gave the American play er the world's singles championship, Wilding long has been conceded the best Blnce the Doherty brothers held sway In the tennis world. After the death of one. the other surrendered tennis activities. Today was tho first time McLoughlln has been able to take the measure of the great Wilding. With the score In matches stnmlinB 3 to 1 In favor of the challengers. Wil liams was plainly nervous under tlin strain that rested on him when he took the court with Brookes shortly after 2 o'clock. Brookes, veteran of many Davla cup battles, w calm and doter mlned and showed clearly In his open ing shots that he did not Intend In give his opponent the slightest advan tage which he did not earn. Brookes' strokes and tactics did nothing to allay the nervousness of Williams and as a result the latter" efforts to hold his opponent In rheok during the first two seta were pitifully weak. Ho made a game rally In the third set. giving a splendid exhibition of the game he Is capable of at times. It was his final rally, however. ' Mil llama Beats Himself. As was the case when Williams met Wilding, the erratic young American reallv beat himself, for he netted ap proximately three times as many shots as Brookes and drove the ball out twice as often. Ills habit of serving the sec ond ball ss fast as the first also count ed heavily against him. for he bad ten double faults to Brookes one. When he was stroking the ball In top form, however, he was Brookes' master. This was shown by the num ber of brilliant placement shots bo made In the third set, which he wnn. 10-8. despite 27 nets and five douhU faults. Brookes let Williams play him self out, however, and came back strongly In the fourth set. rushing to the net at every opportunity and blocking his opponent's drives until Williams grew erratic sgaln and faded before the tactics and placing of tho veteran. The 15,000 spectators, who furnished a gallery and setting for the matches never before equaled In Davis cup plu. tried to cheer Williams on to victory and as a result brought about one of the most ludicrous exhibitions ever witnessed I" an amateur sporting event in this country. Brookes lirow Peelsh. All through the third set every brilliant stroke by Williams was cheered until tho uproar, a typical American case of rooting, could hi. heard far across the Long Island plains. Brookes, unable to handle Wil liams' service and returns, grew peev ish and several times dropped his racquet and placed his hands over his cars. When Williams finally won the set and tho crowd really broke loose. Iho Australasian threw his racquet on thn ground and. sitting down on tho sand box. held his head In his hands. Many thought he was crying. He eventually got up and walked Into thn clubhouse. He appeared to regain hln poi.so when upon returning he was given a great round of applause by tho thousands whom he had mutely accused of unsportsmanlike action. Brookes Pleased as a Boy. After his victory Brookes wss pla cated with cheer after cheer, and when -,.nt nvur .nH n.tted the Davis CUP which stood upon a table between tho 1 attemoted to give the Australian kangaroo cry. koo-yo-oo, in honor of the winner. This brok down the last of Brookes' reserve, and he laughed and waved nis nana ii pleased schoolboy. The only satisfaction the rcpresenta ti. imarirm imthering sained In the day's play was the convincing manner i- whih v. iinn. I Chatnnlon McLough lln pushed Wilding as well as Brookes off the worlds cnampionsmii pedestal and mounted It himself as ho greatest individual tennis player In tlio universe. After witnessing the Davis cup follow the polo trophy across tho ocean, this proved an encouraging omen of Its return again within a few years. When tho auburn-topped youth faced Wilding nothing was at stake from a cup standpoint, and It was a personal racquet duel between the American champion and the player who defeated him in straight seta In the challenge -n,,r,H nt the English all-comers' matin at Wimbledon last year. Having defeatod uroones in siraiKni sets on Thursday. McLoughlln tore Into Wilding at terrlllc speed, and gave the (Concluded on las 4 )
