their way to two pennants, which only goes
to show that stolen sacks do not always
win a flag. The Pirates lead in the National

would have r.one in the National League had
not the 21-playar rule been in vogue. Now
that the ban is' lifted and Jawn can carry

The re.il reason Marquard did not want
to go to the minors was because it would

A few years ago Gabby Cravath was pro

said he was too old to keep up the pace.
Now he's leading the home-run swatters of

credited the best catcher in the

in the bushes, although his bat

was not much. He bats and throws

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 25. (Spe
cial.) If the world's baseball cham
pions come to San Francisco to play
a series of games against a picked
team from the opposing league, the
pennant winners of the Coast League
are to nave a cnance to play the Doys
from the big brush and incidentally to
gather a little money for themselves.
Henry Berry is behind the project.
He says the Coast League boys are a
little inclined to be sore because the
big leaguers are to gather in the "vel
vet" as it were. He agrees that pos
sibly they have a kick coming and
wants to remedy the evil. Therefore,
he has suggested that, say three games,
be arranged in which the Coasters can
show just what they can do.
San Francisco fans all expect to see
the Seals returned pennant winners. In
spite of the fact that there are four
more weeks in the Coast League, the
San Franciscans have a healthy lead
over the Angels and what Is more to
the point, they are going along with
out skipping.
Judging from indications, the Angels
seem to feel that the race is just about
as good as won and they are not play
ing their hardest. -There seems to be
no question but that the absence of
Harry Wolter from the Angel lineup
has been a weakening factor. Mem
bers of other clubs insist, just the
same, that Los Angeles never would
have been In the running but for the

even trade for Walter Doane. As Doane
is still with Vernon it is safe to sav
that "Doc" White got a little the best
of the barter.
Carlisle says he cannot stand criti
cism, being of a sensitive nature, and
it is believed that he and the big
manager came to a disagreement fol
lowing last Tuesday's la-inning game.
Mack sent Carlisle out to pinch hit for
uerrick in the ninth inning, and Steen
fanned him on three pitched balls. Car

quisition after that exhibition, and it
w.as openly hinted In baseball circles
that he would be the one to go to make
room for Pitcher Noyes, of the Spokane
Club. Noyes joins Portland within the
next couple of days.
Carlisle has been in the Coast Leaeue
since 1911. all of this time with Vernon
up to his transfer to Portland a few
weeks ago. He has always been one
of the lea-ding- run-getters and is a
popular, hard-working fellow. This
year he seemed unable to get going at
his old stride, but a change elsewhere
may start him going again.
Only two of the vouno- nlavArn won
by Portland In the recent draft lottery,
win De claimed. At a conference be
tween Manager Walter McCredie and
President W. W. McCredie yesterday it
was decided to pungle up the monev
for First Baseman Quinn. of Syracuse.
of the New York State League, and for
Shortstop Hollicker, of the Keokuk
team, of the Central Association. Quinn
will cost 750 and Hollicker in the
neighborhood of- $400.
Because of reports that had reached
him that the Federals were flirting
with Pitcher Caporel; of Elmira. N. Y..
Walter McCredie decided not to risk
any 750 on him, perhaps to lose it all.
"We will try to buy him during the
Winter," said the Beaver manager. "If
we draft him and the Feds lure him
away we would lose our draft money."
First Baseman Quinn is recommended
by Ote Johnson and by several other
friends of McCredies. Umpire Bush is

KENNETH WILLIAMS HAS
NORTHWESTERN HONORS
Spokane Player Now With Cincinnati Leads in Batting: Smith and
Haworth, Also Sold to Majors, Are Near Indian's Record.
SPOKANE. Sept. 25. (Special.)
The batting honors of the North
western league for 1915 belong to
Kenneth Williams. th big Spokane
outfielder, who was sold In midseason
to the Cincinnati Nationals. Jack
Smith, the Seattle outfielder, who will
next year wear a St. Louis National
League uniform, tried desperately dur
ing the last 10 weeks of the season to
overhaul Williams' mark of .340. but
his best was .337. Homer Haworth,
the injured Cleveland American, takes
third position with .335.
Kippert. the hard-hitting Tacoma
outfielder, and Kaylor. of Spokane,
come next In order. These finished the
league schedule, and had no immediate
prospect of promotion. The three
league leaders all earned major league
jobs by their ability to slam the of
ferings of Northwestern League pitch
ers during the season just closed.
Smith Holds Many Honors.
Smith led the league in many totals,,
which include runs .scored, hits made
and bases stolen. He did not average
more runs scored a game, or more
bases stolen a game, than other North
western League players, but in totals
he is first.
Everything considered, the record set
by Williams, of Spokane, up to the
time he left this league, is by far the
most impressive of any player that
ever wore a Northwestern League uni
form. He did not approach the league's
long-standing home-run record made
by Swain; nor did he equal Myers' phe
nomenal base-stealing total of 1912.
His batting average has been excelled
before. But no other Northwestern
player has done all the things that
Williams did this year. At the time he
left he was leading this league in bat
ting average, in bases stolen and in
horn 3 runs.
- Smith's record is scarcely less im
pressive, and this pair, both graduates
of the Western Canada League, ought
surely to make major league stars if
the promise offered by their 1915
Northwestern League efforts is not a
vain one.
Kippert and Brinker Shine.
Ed Kippert led the league in two
base hits and Dode Brinker in home
runs, but pretty nearly every other
honor belongs to Smith, in totals, or
Williams, in game average.
. The Victoria team retained the team
batting honors. The Spokane Indians,
up until three weeks before the season
ended, had a better total, but fell into
a a batting slump and dropped to second
place. The Indians stole more bases.
Tacoma scored the most runs, Vancou
ver hit for the largest total extra
bases. Seattle led in sacrifice hits. The

Australian Midleweight of Re
nown Hears Call of Big
Money in States.
BAT NELSON SEEKS BOUT
Durable Dane's One Ambition Is to
Tangle With Ad Wolgast Willie
Ritchie Says Weight Didn't
Cause Challenge to Packey.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 25. (Spe
cial.) News of the boxing game in
Australia has seen brought to San
Francisco by Fred Hanson, of Butte,
Mont., who has been in the Antipodes
for several months in the capacity of
trainer and is just back. By far the
most Important bit of news he had to
divulge was that foxy Jack Kearns.
who went across the water with a
string of ecrappers, including Fight
ing Billy Murray and Red Watson, is
angling for Les Darcy, who comes as
near as any one else 0"being the mid
dleweight champion of the world.
Darcy is at present under under the
management of Dave Smith, but that
contract expires shortly, and Kearns
has approached Darcy to cross over to
America. It is said that Snowy Baker
is behind the proposition.
If Darcy accepts, so says Hanson.
Murray is to be ditched by the Ameri
can manager. That would naturally be
the case. Darcy, after his showing at
home, would be a mighty big card in
tnis country anl if Baker advises him
to make the trip, it would doubtless
be wilt some good reason for so doing.
Sydney Fans Object.
Already, according to the Sydney pa
pers, they are starting to criticise
Darcy for even wanting to take a trip
away from home. , They argue that he
made his reputation there and that be
is in duty bound to stay there, nnd
make the middleweights of America
come to. him. However, if Darcy can
be shewn that he is going to gather
8 lot of money in America. It is doubt
ful whetiier that sort of reasonin.; will
impress him to any extent.
The boxing game in Australia is r. 3t
going well, because of the war, which
makes 't all the more reasonable to
think H at Darcy will not be hard to
persuade to pack his trunks and set
sail for the big money and the easy
10-rouml game. Hanson saw Darcy
knock out Eddie McGoorty. but was
not as nii'ch impressed with the victory
as w-ire the Australian critics. He
says McGoorty was plainly weakened
by makirg 160 pounds, and that, more
than anything else, lost him the fight.
All ott which doesn't take away from
the victory of Darcy, but merely goes
to prove that McUoorty is no longer to
be reckoned as a legitimate middle
weight. Darcy Strong and nagged.
Darcy is credited with being a
strong, rugged fellow of the aggres
sive type, but until he flattened Mc
Goorty he was not rated as possessing
a stiff punch.
Red Watson, Murray, Bonds and the
other American fighters, will start for
home shortly, says Hanson, because
they are not doing well, financially,
across the pond.
The Australian papers also convey
the news that Jeff Smith has won his
case in the Australian courts for his
fchare of the purse for the Les Darcy
contest, which was declared forfeit be
cause of Smith's alleged action in com
mitrinw a foul.
Th-.-re has been juit3 a controvjiyy
1111 since Darcy won the decision on a
ton:. Snowy Baker and the refree
charged that Smith deliberately fouled,
while Smith said that Darcy quit.
Smith's end of the purse was forfeited
and turned over to the wounded sol
diers' fund.
The American middleweight sought
the courts for relief from the decision
and extended his stay in that country
to fight the issue from a legal stand
point. He had planned to return home
on a steamer that would have landed
him in San Francisco this week, but
owing to the fact that the decision was
handed down just before steamer dny.
Smith lemained behind to collect his
money. Ha has planned to catch the
next steamer, which ought to bring
him back to America the middle of
October. ITr.questionably le will have
8Jir.; story to relate of his trials and
tribulations.
Welsh Leavefl for Kaat.
San Francisco has been quite . clear
ing house for pugilists of renown.
Freddie Welsh and his family, after an
extended visit that gave them the op
portunity to look over everything
worth while at the exposition grounds,
left for the East last Tuesday night.
Welsh says the vacation he has had,
both in Southern California and here
in San Francisco, has benefited him
more than could be imagined, and he
predicts that he will be a different boy
when he gets back into the ring in the
East. Just who will be his first oppo
nent remains to he seen. That is alto
gether up to Harry Pollock, his man
ager. Welsh says that he will only re
quire a few days of training to prepare
himself for a match of short duration.
Welsh had no sooner left than Bat
tling Nelson, who held the same light
weight crown not so many years ago,
put in an appearance. The Durable
Dane came here from Los Angeles,
where he stopped off to renew old ac
quaintance. He fought Bobby Waugh
in Juarez (the bull ring) on Labor day
and since then has been doing some
little vaudeville work. His trip to San
Francisco is primarily to see the ex
position with his brother. Art, who was
once upon a time a student at the Uni
versity of California.
Bat In Same Old Boy.
In many ways the Battler is the same
old boy he was when his name was so
frequently in the sporting columns. Of
course, he looks a bit more battered
about, as would naturally be the case.
And what do you think is Nelson's
ambition? He wants to take on Ad
Wolgast. who lifted Nelson's title in
that battle over in Richmond one
stormy afternoon. There is one fighter
in the world a champion never forgives
and never forgets that is the fellow
who takes away his title. So perhaps,
it is natural that the Dane does not
think kindly of the Mlchigander.
Quite a storm of controversy has
arisen over the dispatches from the
East that Willie Ritchie has issued a
challenge to Packey McFarland for a
bout. To the minds of most of the
critics this was more or less an ad
mission that Ritqhie does not consider
himself any longer a lightweight and
that he has graduated into the ranks
of the welters.
Ritchie Potting on Weight.
Some of the local boys assert that
Ritchie has been steadily putting on
the weight and that he can no longer
train down to a semblance of a light
weight. Ritchie, however, judging from
a recent 'interview that he gave out to
the New York papers, laughs at any
such idea.

Aside from the performance of
Lefty Williams, of Sale Lake, who in
increasing; his leadership as strike-out
king of the Coast League for 1915,
the performances of Fittery, of Salt
Lake; Ryan, of Los Anreles; Coveles
kie, of Portland, and Baum, of San
Francisco, are specially worthy of note
In tho strike-out records of the past
month. This quartet of twirlers
climbed up among the leaders in
whiffing batters during the last
month and. as a result. Hughes, of
Los Angeles, who was sixth on the
list last month, is now tenth on the
list of strike-out pitchers.
Lefty "Williams could go through the
rest of the season without striking
out a batter and still finish the season
as leading strike-out pitcher of the
1915 season, for he is now 83 strike
outs ahead of Fanning, his nearest
rival. With five weeks remaining in
the reason, Williams has fanned 262
men. this being 50 more than Klepfer.
of Venice, last year's strike-out king,
fanned for the season. Williams is
f record, however, for he would have to
fan 23 batters a week for the remain
ing five weeks to pass the mark of
376 strike-outs hung up by Vean
tireg, of Portland, in i910.
Of the 10 leading strike-out pitch
ers. Fanning, of San Francisco, has
shown the best control, but Prough.
of Oakland, and Baum, of San Fran
cisco, are giving his a close run for
second honors. Fanning has walked
only 55 men in the first 25 weeks of
the season. Prough and Baum have
each walked 56 men. Love, of Los
Angeles, has issued 119 bases on balls,
and Hall, of Salt Lake, who has
walked 108 batters, is the only other
slabster who has passed the century
mark in free passes.
Shotputter Prulett, of Oakland, is In
a class by himself when it comes to
hitting batters, having hit 27 op

rivals, each having hit 15 batters.
