GOISTO OECIOES TO GO 10 CLEVELAND His "Reporting" to Indians, However, Is Contingent on Getting $1000 Cash. BONUS STILL DEMANDED Grover Lowdermilk Quits Beavers for Rest of Season TTpon Poor Showing Yesterday Pitcher's Wildness Still Bothers. TJpon receipt of a telegram from the management of the Cleveland American League Club advising; him to come to Cleveland and talk matters over, Louis Guisto will depart this morning for Cleveland. Louis held off for awhile before deciding' to depart because he . thought that he should be guaranteed a return ticket to and from Cleveland. As it is he has only the one-way fare in his possession. However, after thinking the subject over, he decided to take a chance and go. "If I don't receive $1000 of the pur chase money I will coma home at once," said Guisto last night. "I don't care whether they give mo my return ticket or not. The only way they will get me to play baseball is to give me the bonus." Once ayjay from his advisers, Gulsto likely will be made to see the folly 1n further holding out and getting "In bad" with the Cleveland Club and the fans. He has been offered $400 a month for the remainder of this season and tickets to and from Cleveland. The only thing he is holding out for Ifl $1000 of the purchase money. He has " lost $100 in salary already by refusing to sign and go East. Along with Guisto this morning will go Grover Lowdermilk, bound for his home, 40 miles from St. Louis, Mo. "Lowdy" became discouraged after his wild showing yesterday and bid all the boys goodby, announcing his Intention of quitting for the season. He has ex perienced the same wild and woolly habits since joining the Beavers that has characterized his work all year with both the Cleveland and Portland clubs. If he thinks that he will be able to control his wildness next Spring, he will rejoin the Beavers. Manager Nick "Williams, of the Spo kane Northwestern League club, tele graphed Judge W. W. McCredie. presi dent of the Portland club, last night cancelling the Portland-Spokane game scheduled for next Tuesday afternoon at Spokane. Owing to the threatening railroad strike the game hung in the balance for several days and now that it will be safe for the Beavers to go, , the Spokane management thought that it did not have sufficient time to adver tise the game. The departure to Cleveland of Louis Guisto spoils the plans of the Rainier Inter-City League team. Louie prom ised to play with that nine today and tomorrow against the Kenton club team of Portland. Big doings were sched uled at Rainier and Manager Harry Morrison was disappointed when Louie advised him last night that he could not "report." "I was sorry that I was not able to go down there, too," said Louis. "It would have afforded me a lot of pleas ure to dig my cleats in 'bush' soil once more. Bill Speas received a telegram yes terday from the San Francisco club making him an offer to join the Seals. Bill will think the matter over and let Harry Wolverton know today. Don't be surprised to see Bill in a San Fran cisco uniform within a few days.

Portland's ball club Journeyed out to the park yesterday afternoon and, after frittering away one game to Los An geles, by the lop-sided score of 13 to 4, turned around and gave these same Angels a terrific lacing, 9 to 2. It was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde stuff down to date. This ' second game, which found Southpaw Herb Kelly pitted against Pete Standridge for the second time in the series, waa delayed for 15 minutes by a rain storrn. Kelly proved Just as good as Lowder milk. Hagerman and Lvle Blgbee were bad in the curtain raiser. This trio walked no fewer than 14 of the Angels, besides allowing ten hits and producing a wild pitch. Lowder milk walked five in less than two in nings. Hagerman did very well until the seventh, when Galloway knocked a home run with two on the bags and started a rally that netted five runs. Blgbee Also la Wild. Lvle Blgbee rejoined the Beavers during the forenoon and Walt McCredie permitted him to exercise his educated arm for the last two innings. If Lyle doesn't 'ware. Mack will be giving him the zoo alone with ' the bear mascot. The Oregon University lad walked sev en in two innings and spotted the An gels four additional registrations. This about tells the sad. sad tale of the initial travesty on the National pastime. Hogg, on the mound for the Chance men, allowed nine hits and four earned runs. In the second .engagement Billy Southworth duplicated Galloway's home run feat by whacking a home run over the right-field fence in the sixth in ing. with two runners on .the sacks ahead of him. Southworth Star at Bat. Besides bagging this homer. South worth boosted his bat average with two singles. Curiously, his homo run was hit off the delivery of a southpaw, Scogglns. who relieved Standridge in the fifth. m , It was Standridge's second rout of the series and came close to being an other shutout. Only three hits Kelly yielded up to the ninth. In which Inning the Angels scored twice on a dead ball, two singles and a high throw-in by Kenneth Williams. Wiillams more than made up for his mlscue by negotiating a. sparkling catch of a long fly by Standridge against the center field fence. The rain-interruption cropped up in the second Inning, and so heavy was the dftwnpour that many of the crowd left the park and returned to town. When Umpire Guthrie finally sig nalled the teams to resume play, the Angels began stalling for time, hoping that another ' storm might set in be fore tho regulation four and one hait innings. Kelly Gets Two-Bagger. You see. the visitors were behind, for the Beavers had scored one run in the first Inning on Southworth's single and a fluke two-bagger over third base by Howard. In the second inning, after the storm, Portland Jumped onto fctand ridee for four more, two of them trot ting across the plate on a two-bagger over MaggerfS nead Dy tiero. iveny. Maggert, by the way, was given the exile sign in the seventh inning of the initial game for directing words not in Webster e lexicon at Umpire uuthrie about the merits 'of a third strike. Owing to a lame arm. Captain Koer ner. of the Angels, rested during the day and McLarry shifted over to nrst base. Galloway to secona ana Butler to shorj. -m ' Lowdermlllc Larks Control. . Lowdermilk must also have the gee gees In the right arm. for no pitcher could have) stuck In the major leagues two weeks with such pitching as he has exhibited his last few starts. In the first inning of the opening affair yesterday the human Singer building, after allowing Maggert to hit. walked two in a row and tilled the bases. Schultz scored two with a liner to center and two more registered on afT-ifices bv McLarry and Galloway. In the second Inning Lowdermilk walked three batsmen ef ore Walt Mc Credie could yank him and send Hager man to the rescue. ' Double-Header la Today. Hagerman applied sand to the tracks immediately and got by -until the sev enth, when, with the score 4-3 in the AngelB' favor, he let too much sand go and the balloon shot skyward. Gal lowav's homer knocked all the props from under the "castle of hopes that was being built by the 3000 bargain- hunting fans. J Another double-header will be played today, commencing at 1:30 o'clock, and two games will De played tomorrow. The first Monday game will be called at 10:30 A. M. and the second at 2:30 p. M.

TIGERS WIN' FIFTH STRAIGHT In Free-IIittlng Game Oakland Is Trounced, 5 to 3. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2. Vernon won its fifth straight victory from Oakland here today by a score of 6 to 3. The tame t was featured principally by bombardment upon the pitchers of both teams, which resulted in nine hits for Oakland and 10 for Vernon.

BIXOCFIi-VRS AID SPORTSSfEX Hood River Hunter Has Plan for Ragging Grouse. HOOD RIVER. Or.. Sept. 2. (Spe cial.) Of all the unique methods de vised by Mid-Columbia sportsmen, the record is perhaps held by H. L. Has bro uck. p. local Jeweler, in hunting grouse. when Mr. Hasbrouck visits the neighboring ranges to seek the elusive but toothsome birds he carries a pair of binoculars. Grouse, when flushed, usually fly to the topmost. Drancnes of the closest trees. Their plumage and the fallage of fir or pine trees naturally blend, and it Is difficult to espy a grouse with the naked eye. When Mr. Hasbrouck has started up a covey of grouse he uses his glasses and after he has sighted his quarry it is an easy matter to bring the birds down. BLANKENSHIP DUE TO LOSE HIS HEAD Salt Lake Directors Said to Be Peeved Because They Can't Run Ball Team. MANAGER'S FOLLOWING BIG Bee Leader Refuses to Tit lk Kxcept to Say Game Is Too Uncertain to Hazard Opinion, but He la Well Fixed on Side. Although he waltzed Salt Lake into Coast League Society and painted the name of the Utah metropolis on the diamond map. Cliff Blankenship, boss of the Bees, may bow himself out at once or at the end of the present sea- sork His fate is hanging in the balance. He is in Salt Lake now with his team n San Francisco and. admits the fact that he is sure to leave the ranks. when he brought the lowly team out to the front last season, ninnkrnshin was boosted up on the pedestal reserved for the hero. However, there has been a sudden switch In sentiment this sea son. Away down deen in the channels nf Coast League society 'tis whispered that the directors of the Salt Lake club are endeavoring to tell Blank how he noma nundle his tosseis and Blank reiuses to stand for any dictation. 1 may manage the cluh next sensnn and I may not." savs the nor.r.rv leader. "I did not sign a life contract. you know. Baseball is an uncertain business. You're here today and there tomorrow. All a manager care do is his best, and I know I have done this." me ians will put in with Hiank. too. He is independent, ownincr a half in terest in a very prosperous business in Salt Lake. The Coast League will lose one of its most valuable assets if thn leader of the Hoes does muke up his mind to drop the managerial reins. " Salt Lake was lucky to procure him in the first place. Something is due to break nrettv sud denly, however, for if such was not the, case. Blank would not have been called away from his team in San Francisco. to attend the meeting of Salt Lake directors. They might at least have waited until the team reached home. which will be another week yet. V "I can't figure why the Coast League managers ever allowed Rube Kvans to get out of their organization," mused Cliff Blankenship at San Francisco the other day. "That big fellow is a crood left-hander." Every Seal ore Harry AVol verton's payroll is going to the bat for Hi West to blossom out again as a star tn this company. The one time wizard of the curve was kicked and knocked around so much after McCredie drifted him that the fans almost forgot about him. but Hi, being a man with a lot of grit, refused to be relegated to the ranks of those who are through. He worked and took treatment for his crank arm and then applied for a tryoiit with the Seals. A ballplayer with West s determina tion is entitled to credit as well as to an opportunity to display his new Una of wares. His job is not yet clinched, although he has pitched one great game, but will be if he pitches a few more like it. e Young Bliss, the Santa Clara south paw, will be taken to Salt Lake by the, jsees arter their series this week with the Oaks at San Francisco. Bliss has signed a 1917 contract, but is anxious to get started in a few games this, season in order to give the kid the necessary experience. The lid on the player limit will be raised September 15 for the benefit of the bushers. m Although he's with a short pitching staff. Wol'trton does not believe in saving his boxmsa sbm he sees & chance to pull a game out Of the fire. The old boy called on four of Ml heavers last Tuesday and they were all needed at that. Just why the Chicago Cubs Insisted upon having Outfielder Harry Wolter, of the Angels, at once is a puzzle. The Cubs are firmly intrenched In the sec ond division in the National League race and Chance stands a good show of winning the Pacific Coast League pen nant.
