When the last out was made to day the Portland players flopped flat on their backs. The cause for this demonstration was that, after 14 straight defeats the Beavers had won from Los Angeles, 4 to 1. Love and Krause hooked up in a pitchers' battle, neither side being able to score in the first four innings of the tussle. Portland, however, man aged to win by a good margin when they put over four runs in the seventh and eighth innings, while Los Angeles was able to gather but one. The Angels lost a good chance to score in the third inning, when Love opened the inning with a triple. Mag gert shot out a long single, but Love was caught at the plate. Speas to Fisher.

SOPslE BEAVERSTOBO Coveleskie, Lush, Higginboth- am Fairly Sure of Jobs. EX-NAPS MAY GET KAHLER Speas and Southworth Will Be Kept In Outfield Weeding Ont Will Eclipse Any Former Ram pages In Team's Ranks. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Viewing the disastrous performances of the 1914 Portland club in the Pa cific Coast League in retrospect. It is very evident that Walter McCredie is nlanninar on & weeding out of the ola timber that will eclipse any of Mack's former rampages. And that is. juggling with superla tives. According to W. W. McCredie. presi dent of the Portland club, the most ex ecution will be felt in the neighbor hood of the pitching corps. Stanley Coveleskie. Johnny Jusn ana Irve Higginbotham seem to be fairly sure of their Jobs next year, and Wynn Noyes, the Spokane recruit, may be re tained next year if he shows anything this week at Venice. Eraas, Krause, Ivahler May Get Ax. Those who seem certain to feel the ax are southpaws kudo , .vans ana Harry Krause and the big righthander. George Kahler. Krause has proved the most effective of the trio, having held his .opponents to a batting average ot .367. Harry has pitched some great games, but at other times he has not been very effective. Krause is still a young ster and might come back next Spring stronger than ever, but the Macks be lieve that a change will do him good, and, so far as Portland is concerned, they are afraid to take any chances of getting off to another bad start next Spring. "That Is where we lose out In Port land," said Judge McCredie the other day. "Our team starts poorly and loses its following before it gets into high gear again." Kabler May Co Back te ex-Naps, Kahler's two-year contract with Cleveland expires this Fall, and it is believed that McCredie will send him back to the ex-Naps. Walter Mack thinks the ban on the emery ball put Kahler into the eclipse. Kahler always pitched fine ball in the American Asso' elation. Out here his opponents have batted .274 against him, while Rube Evans has been hit at a .288 clip. Two of the present outfield crew, Speas and Southworth. will be kept next year, but it is believed that Ty Lober will be disposed of during the Winter, possibly in a trade with Ven ice. This means that the McCredie will have to add two gardeners to the staff between now and Spring. Bates Almost Sure of Job. In the infield. Bates at third appears to be the only aspirant sure of his job. Already there is talk of a trade for Derrick, and Bill Stumpf admits that he is dickering with the Federals. The Venice club. too. is after Stumpf. If Bill Rodgers comes back to Port' land from Cincinnati. Mack may make some deal with Stumpf. or. again, if Stumpf remains, he may be shifted to shortstop. Young Chuck Ward at short seems to be a great iieiaer, out nis nit ting is very weak. Bobby Davis is another whose place In the sun seems to be hanging by cobweb. If McCredie decides to keep Ward for utility purposes, Davis is sure to be sold or traded. Owing to his bad knee, Bobby has not been of much service to the club this season. Fisher and Carisch, veteran catchers. will hold over, although there may be eome yowling when contracts are sent out next February. According to Judge- McCredie. every baseball contract In America will suf fer a cut in salary .next Spring be cause nearly "every club in organised baseball paid out more money than came in at the turnstiles.

Wal ter McCredie began managing the Portland team in 1905 and 1907 was his only other excursion into the cellar at the finis. Usually he has been a, or very near the top.

ESTACADA, Or.. Oct. 16. (Special.) With a final burst of speed in the last quarter and with the score 12 to 0 against them, the local high school football team defeated the James John High School eleven of Portland on. the Estacada field this afternoon by the score of 14 to 12. The visitors were outweighed 12 pounds to the man and had things their own way until the final quarter. Quite a sensation was sprung by Coach Reynolds, of the Portland insti tution, when he played Henry Jower. a Chinese boy. at quarterback. The lit tle Celestial was at home in the game and he was responsible for 15 com pleted forward passes by the losers. Captain W. M. Wrinkle and G. Smith starred in the backfield along with Jower for Portland. All the yardage made by Estacada High was through the old-fashioned line plunging, while the visitors depended mostly on the open style of play. NEAR JUMP IS REVEALED ST. LOUIS FEDS THINK WITH BEES' PITCHER THEY'D HAVE WON. Clyde Williams Considered One of the Beat Tvrlrlers In Coast League by Fielder Jones. How close Clyde Williams, the clever southpaw of the Salt Lake club, came to jumping to the Federal League, was told yesterday by Fielder Jones, man ager of the St. Louis Federals. Jones came within .0008 of winning the pen nant, and he figures that If Williams had joined his team. St. Louis would have romped home with the bunting. "I consider Williams the best pitcher the Coast League has had in a couple of seasons." said Fielder Jones "When Bobby Groom began going badly for me about two months before the finish, 1 sent Marsans out to Salt Lake to get Williams' terms. He told us what he would Jump for and I accepted. Then he backed down. "Later I sent a man to San Francisco to see Williams, but again he refused." The St. Louis manager believes that before another year is gone the Federal League will be welcome into organized baseball. He points out that nearly all the organized teams in the majors are dead broke. "The Chicago Gubs didn't draw as big a cpowd at home as Portland," said he. 'And, at St- Louis, the National League crowds were pitiful in size. We used to play to 10.000 and 12.000 on a Sunday while the cardinals were playing to 500 -and 600." Manager Jones says the chief differ ence he noted in the style of major league ball after his absence of several years was in the fielding. The fielding and throwing has become much more precise than it was 10 years ago. Baseball Statistics Where tbe Teams Play.

ELLIOTT PLANS TO STICK Oak Manager After Knisely and Phelan, of Cubs, for Next Year's Team Patterson Mentioned as Next Tiger Leader. BY HAKRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 16. (Special.) Assuming that all goes well with the San Francisco baseball team. Seal fans are going to celebrate the cinching of the pennant fight next week. There will be a "Seals' day" at Recreation Park, so that all the boys may be hon ored instead of one or two. Berry will give each member of the team a sou venir and those fans who have idols on the grounds will be permitted to tender their presents on that occasion. Reports to the contrary notwith standing. Rowdy Elliott evidently thinks he is going to manage the Oaks another season. At all events, he is going after- material,' not for the re mainder of this year, but for his 1916 pennant fight. The latest is word that he wants Knisely, outfielder, and Phe- lon. lnflelder. with the Chicago Cubs. Knisley would fit in nicely with- Jimmy Johnston and Roxey Mlddleton, and Phelon ought to strengthen the Infield department. When Rowdy had his team In the Southland he tried to sign up Buemil ler and Long Tom Hughes, both of whom were released a while back. The two ballplayers were perfectly willing to sign contracts, but they wanted more money than the Oakland management apparently is willing to hand over. Doc White's Release Rumored. One of the Oakland evening papers has started a story that Doc White is to be released as manager of the Ver non club and that "Ham" Patterson wiii come into the throne. That sounds a little far-fetched. White has given good satisfaction to his owners, and considering all that happened, he has been lucky to have any sort of a club. More than that, Patterson is certainly not the type that many would pick out to manage a lot of other fellows on a ball club. - It looks as if Wolverton has made a "find" in getting hold of Chick A u trey, who has supplanted Paul Meloan at first base. Autrjt used to play ball in the bushes hereabouts a few years ago. Then he joined the Minneapolis team in the American Association, went up to the Boston Braves and finally re turned to Minneapolis. He had a right to sign with any club he desired, and Wolverton ptcked him up. So far Autrey has been hitting well, although the records show that he Is no more than an ordinary batsman. His field ing is about the most finished seen around the initial sack here this sea son. Heilnsau Rated as Better. Of course, if the Seals had a chance to hold Heilmann, his hitting would hold him on the team. Heilmann, however, has been recalled by Detroit, and unless the Tiger management is WORLD'S SERIES BATTING AND FIELDING SUMMARY OF RECENT YEARS.

Duffy Lewis is to have a housewarm ing at Boyes Springs as soon as he re turns home. Last year he bought a couple ol lots and arranged to have a house built for him. There was the lay ing of the cornerstone in mid-Summer with appropriate ceremonies. Now Mrs. Lewis has come from Boston to arrange for the fittings, so that Duffy will be able to step right Into his own home and Invite a lot of his baseball pals to come along with him. Incidentally, baseball is due to creak into the society columns of the papers in the near future. Oscar Vitt. the Detroit Tiger , lnflelder, who has re turned home, is to wed a pretty girl living In Oakland, although he will not announce the date set for the nuptials. Eddie Burns, catcher of the Phillies, is to marry a pretty Spanish girl from Monterey and the happy event, so It is whispered, will take place as soon as Burns can get back to this part of the coanlry. Vitt. who brought Oscar Stanage back to San Francisco with him, is looking better than ever. He has put on some weight, which is a good thing for the San Francisco high school lad. He had the best year he has seen since he went up to the majors, both as fielder and at cracking the ball. Centralla Defeats EInia Again. CENTRALIA, Wash.. Oct. 16.

Claude Berry, who used to catch for the Portland Beavers before be hopped to the Plttsburr Feds., recently rot a grand little send-off In one of the Smoky City papers. Claude's likeness was scattered over half page and he was called the most-feared backstop In Joe Tinker's and- Fielder Jones' circuit. The paper also told how the base runners might as well have fallen asleep on the bags with Berry behind the platter, ax there wasn't a chance In the world of them swip ing a sack.

He came to the Red Sox In 1918. Foster is on of the smsllest pitchers In the American league. He stsnds only about 5 feet 8 Inches and weighs around l.o pounds. We'll admit that he's a midgut as pitchers go. but tbe Phillies will bear out the assert! an that be I a bear cat fur bis Inches. 1915 WORLD SERIES SETS PITCHING MURK Average Number of Runs Far Below That of Memorable Playing in 1906. HITS SURPASS LAST YEAR ;Best Twirling; Done by Foster, Bos ton Midget, Who Also Sets Bat ting Mark by Making Three Hits in Four Chances. With three games In which the score ended 2-1 and one in which the score stood 3-1 at the finish, the 1915 world's I series will go on record as one of the best from the pitching standpoint since that memorable one of 1906. when Fielder Jones White Sox copped the National title. The series of 1906 was productive of a one-hit. two two-hit and three four bit games, and the average number of runs each game was 6.6. In the 1915 series two two-hit contests and a five- hit game featured, but the runs were considerable less on an average to the game than In 1906. despite the fact that the hits were fewer in the Sox Cubs series. Last year the average number of hits was only a tenth of a point less than this season, but an average of one more run a game was scored than in this season's tilt. 1915 B Average Smallest Yet. The series Just past between Boston and Philadelphia set a record as one in which the smallest average nuraoer of runs was scored in each game; also the smallest average number of errors ere mad during the five games. In 1914 and this year, seven errors were made during the battles, but the average for a single game last year was 1.7 as against 1.4. the smallest average ever maae, v.-men was uuus. up this year. The best pitching oi me ism series was undoubtedly done oy rosier, in. Rruton mids-et. who let tho Phillies down with three hits and one lone tally. The Boston twirler also set a Datiiiii, mark for world's series pitchers In the second game that will ue hard to equal by making three hits in four chances. Foster also takes his place in the list of unbeaten nig-senes iwinru 1th two games to nis creait. on .uo win sldo of the slate. Many Remarkable Gamea Pltchea. Tk.ro have, been a great many re markable games pitched in the big set . H,it Botne that will stand out In baseball history above the others fol low: . . 1915 (second gamei KUDe rt-sic. 1914 (second game) Bill James. 1913 (fifth game) Eddie Plank. 1911 (third game) Jack Coombs. 1906 (second came) Ed Reulbach. 1906 (third game) Miner Brown. 1906 (fourth game) Ed Walsh. In 1914 the second game of the world's series furnished another sur prise, the Bostons shutting out the Athletics in one of the closest and most exciting duels of nistory.. jamea pitched a wonderful game, holding the hardest-hitting team in me arena m . single and a double. He struck out eight, and only S8 men faced him. three being passed. In 1913 the selection of Plank was a fortunate one for the Athletics, as he pitched one of the most effective games in a world's championship series. Plank allowed only 29 men to face him. and, but for a muff, would have shut his opponents out. Coombs Twirls Wonderfully. In 1911 Coombs pitched a wonderful game, holding the Giants to three hits in 11 innings, twirling like a demon whenever men worked their way to first. - In 1906 Reulbach. though wild, was wonderfully effective. holding the White Sox to a single hit. . When alls is said and done the work of Eddie Plank on October 11.. 1911. was undoubtedly the high-water mark in world's series pitching history. Never was the crossfire artist better, and at his best there were few his peer. It seems strange to leave the name of Mathewson from the above list, for his work In the aggregate has never been equaled. Such courage as he showed in the face of his team's demoraliza tion was sublime. These pitchers have won three games in a series: Phllllppe Dlneen Mathewson .................
