Cliff Blankenship's clan took a stran gle hold on second place in the Pacific Coast League this afternoon when they took Pop Dillon's men into camp to the tuna of 11 to 10. but it took nearly the full nine frames to decide the is sue, the winning; run being scored in the last half of the ninth with one man down. It was home-run day In Salt Lake. Bunny Brief started the proceedings and poked two out of the lot during the afternoon. Captain Ryan felt strong, too. and clouted one over, and then Jimmy Breton did likewise. Pop's men clouted often, but only Beef Koer ner was stout enough to get it out of the lot Salt Lake took a big lead when they counted up seven In the first two innings and were never overtaken until the ninth, when the Angels clouted in four and made the count 10 all. Joe Gedeon, first up in the ninth, oracked out a double and Zacher sacri ficed him to third, from where he scored on a wild pitch. Score: .

Tacoma Leads the League In Fielding Honors Csdman's Worlc Behind the Bat Is Noteworthy. Fug Bennett, Tealey Raymond and Ed Klppert are, as usual, the king pins of the Northwestern League in fielding their respective positions, sec ond base, shortstop and center field, in many previous years this trio has been at or near the top. Fielding averages Just issued show that Tacoma, which finished second to the Seattle pennant-winners in the last week of the season, showed the way to all rivals who finished the league season in team fielding and that elie had to share the season's honors with the Victoria club.- dropped from tao circuit August 1. Spokane led the league in team field ing for a great part of the season, but slumped miserably toward the doge, and dropped to fifth place in the final standing. Among the records of unusual merit during the year just concluded the first-base play of George -Kelly and the third-base play of Frank Guigni stand out conspicuously.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Ber keley. Oct. 23. (Special.) The follow ers of soccer football felt discouraged last week when the graduate manager's office announced that there were no funds for the support of a soccer coaeh. As a result D. Gormandla. who was coach of soccer, has left. This dis couragement did not last very long, however, for one of the foremost sop cer men on the coast has taken charge of the team and is now drilling it. This man is no other than Tommy Lyden. He has for the past year been playing Inside left for the Olympic Club but will now devote his time to training the California team. Marked improvement in the play can already be noticed. BEAVERS GET KANE First Baseman Derrick Given in Exchange to Vernon. OLD DEAL RUMOR SPIKED McCredie Lonjr nissatiarirxi ukv. Fred'n flaying Xevr Recruit Is Invariably .300 Hitter bnt Seems to Hare Annual Slump. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. From out all the tangled skein of rumors and reports that have emanat ed from Los Angeles and San Fran cisco within the past fortnight, cane thing- comes rather straight to us. to wlt: That Fred Derrick, first baseman on the Portland Coast League Beavers, has been traded to Vernon for Outfield er Johnny Kane. Whether there Is more than fancy in the story will be known when Walter McCredie reaches home some time next week. We are of the opinion that It Is true, however, for the Information comes second-handed from Ham Patter son, the new Vernon manager. Some time ago It was reported that a deal was on between the two clubs. Involving Derrick and Stumpf for Kane, Bayless and Rlsberg. This rumor was spiked by both managers. The Derrick-Kane barter is said to be the outcome of this original deal In embryo. Mae Dissatisfied with Derrick. It is known that McCredie has been dissatisfied with Derrick's first-basing all season and. as he needs two new outfielders and intends to get a new first baseman anyway, such a trade could only strengthen him. Kane is a nifty gardener and. barr ne7 a few weeks in mldseason. la in variably a .300 hitter. Johnny seems to strike a slump along about July every season, and that slumn Is all that hn his click average from soaring up among the leaders. Kane was with the Chicago Cubs In 1909, 1910 and 1911. being sold to Ver non in the Fall of 1911. He batted .310 for Vernon in 1912. .280 in 1913. .288 in 1914 and has been around the .300 mark most of the time during the season which closes this afternoon. Baaeball Season Ends Today. When the Coast League clubs finish their games this afternoon the cur tain will be rung down on King Base ball all over the country. Xo. not quite the American and National League all-stars will be with us soon. Barring these barnstorming artists, however, the last call of the umpire has been sounded. The Pacific Coast League is the first of all leagues to start and the last to close. No use to repeat that San Francisco Is the winner of the Coast League pen nant. Little use to add that Forland's last year's champions are In the cellar. San Francisco and Salt Lake have been the only clubs to make any money. Needless to say there will be all sorts of retrenchment talk floating around from now on, and we'll be mightily surprised If the double-umpire system isn't knifed, for one thing, when the Coast directors hold their annual meeting next week. Chance to Slirn Beer Passed Up. It may be interesting to note here that Walter McCredie had an oppor tunity to sign Pitcher Sammy Beer, of the Oakland club, last Winter. Beer is a Eugene boy and played in the West ern Canadian League in 1914. He win tered In Oregon and had several talks with Walter McCredie in an endeavor to induce Mack to give him a trial. McCredie didn't know much about him and Sammy finally wound up in the Rio Grande League, which went fluey in mldseason. Oakland heard of his phenomenal work among the sage brush hills and lured the boy back to civilization, and Beer was the most tickled young man in Christendom when he came north on his first trip and gave Portland an unmerciful wal loping. "X guess maybe Mac wished he had signed me last Winter, eh?" remarked Sammy to the writer. In his dressing room after the clash. GRANT JUNIOR HIGH DEFEATED Washington Eleven at Salem Trims . Heavier Opponents, 3 3 to O. SALEM, Or. Oct. 23. (Special.) Washington Junior High School had little trouble in defeating Grant Junior High School 32 to 0 on Willamette Field this morning.

An other contest will be staged on the same field next Saturday between Lin coln Junior High and Grant Junior High. Moffitt and Shafer featured for the winners today.
