Probably few people realize that Wahoo Sam Crawford is on the verge of one of the great batting records of all time. Close to his 3000th hit Is Sam, and close to the realization of life time ambition. Sam recently said: "One July afternoon many years ago some player on the bench happened to mention Pop Anson and his remarkable record. The fact was brought out that the famous old slugger - 'as the only player who had ever made 3000 hits. It seemed a staggering total. I was fairly swamped by it. But then and there the idea crystallized In my mind that some day in the far-off future I, too, would like to register my 3000th hit. "I will not say that I deliberately set about to accomplish that seemingly im possible feat. It would have been foolish to make any such mental reser vation in a game so uncertain as base ball. But I will admit that it has been my chief ambition for a good many years to make 3000 hits. And as the passing of each season has brought mo nearer the goal, I have thought more and more upon that particular after noon to come when I would meet the iiall fairly and rap out a good clean drive for a complete score of 3000 safe ties. Record Passed by Two. "Since that visionary idea came to me so far back that I can hardly re member It clearly, two players have passed Anson's great mark. One of them, Hans Wagner, is tottering on the verge of his final season in the big chow. The other. Nap Lajoie, one of the greatest batters who ever lived, has hung up a record which few can ever possibly equal and passed on to the minor leagues. And with his going, I find myself the oldest player in point of service "in the American League, the oldest player, with the exception of Hans Wagner, in the major leagues. "And how about that little ambition of mine which started many years ago? It Is an unpleasant experience to think about that ambition now as I stand on the very verge and cannot see the cer tainty of Its realization. It is all the more unpleasant because I have come so near it and because I feel within myself the ability to realize it. "When I completed my 17th season In the big leagues I counted up and found that, according to the records, I had made 2S69 hits. I needed 131 more to realize my ambition. And I won't deny that as I looked at those figures I counted that record as good as won. "I was in excellent condition, had just played a full score of 156 games, and was confident that several more good seasons lay before me. But if my plans should not materialize it required but one to gain my 3000th hit. 18S II its Yearly Average. "Bear in mind that I needed but 131 nits. And for 15 straight years I had not failed to make more than that number of hits a season. The season before I had registered 1S3, and for more than 10 years I had averaged at least 183. Surely it was a rather sim ple matter for me to rap out 131 safe wallops In what need be only a fair season. "So it seemed in the "Winter of 1915 ami 1918. But the Spring brought a different story. They told me I had slowed up, that I would have to begin to take my turn on the bench, that I must relinquish right field at least part of the time to a younger man Now I have always known that I would grow old some time. I have always been prepared to meet the day when It arrived, and I. flatter myself with as good grace as the next man. But I wasn't ready to say good-bye in 1916. "It is true that I am not the fastest man in the world. It Is also true that I am probably not as fast as I was at 23. But, after all, right field is one place where speed does not count for as much as it should elsewhere on the diamond, and there are other slow men playing right field. I think, without exaggeration, I can cover a fair amount of ground and stop most of the balls that come my way in right field. And I am confident I can hit nearly as well as I ever could. "I began this season with exactly 39 hits to go. Now there was a time when I could have made 89 hits in a single month of healthy swatting. The only thing that troubles me now is whether or not I shall make those 39 hits in an entire season. At my present rate should say it was doubtful, but perhaps things will break a little better before the year Is over. "On most accounts I have no cause to complain. Baseball has been good to me and I appreciate, the fact. Neither have I any criticism of the manage ment of our club. The management is after results, and if those results can be better obtained by having someone in my shoes, why, the management would be foolish not to follow that plan. I am not criticising anybody nor anything except the unusual succession of events which have brought me so near the realization of my dreams and then threatened to leave me just short of its attainment. For I am not through; I will not admit that I am through. I can still hit that old base ball. I can still play the game up to major league standard. I can still get those 3000 hits if only I have the chance."

Bill James will have to be called "Lefty" by the fans and fannettes to distinguish him from the two elongated right-handers that have made their ap pearance in Portland, Portland Bill James, now with Detroit, and Seattle Bill James. TWO IXTER-CITY GAMES TODAY Combined Team to Play Camas and Cornfoot Nine to Play Kenton. Two games will be played in the Inter-City League tomorrow afternoon. The Columbia River-Northwest Steel team will go to Camas, while the Corn foot shipbuilders will play the Kenton nine at East Twelfth and Davis streets at 3:30. The Baby Beavers' franchise has been taken up by the league and will be allotted to some other team. The North west Steel Company also have dropped out of the league, the players hooking up with the Columbia River Shipbuild ers. Druhot. Blanchard. Zweifel, Gar ner and Lodell, all members of the Northwest Steel nine, will play with Roy Doty's team. Harper. Nunn, Doty, Phillips, Arnold, Martin and Robinson will be the rest of the rivet slingers" representatives. Portland has added another depend able twirler to Its pitching staff "Lefty" Bill James, the Beavers' only southpaw. James has always been a consistent pitcher, generally winning more than half his games. Bill first broke into baseball at Han nibal. Mo., in 1910, where Cleveland discovered him and drafted him, send ing him to Toledo, in the American Association. During 1911 James won eight games and lost 12, according to the official figures. In 1912. with To ledo, he won 17 and lost 17. Getting off to a good start in 1913. Bill won and lost 14. The Cleveland team, of the Ameri can Association, claimed the southpaw in 1914. Dennie Wilie and Lynn Bren ton, both members of the Beavers were teammates of James during that year. While members of the Cleveland team. Wilie and James became fast friends and it was mainly through Wilie's efforts that the southpaw signed up with McCredie. James was a free agent when signed by the Beavers, as he had bought his release from Louisville. James pitched for Louisville in 1916. winning 17 and losing eight. During his stay with Louisville James split his hand, forcing him to quit playing for two months. Last Ten Games Won. Lefty Bill pitched for the Cleveland Association team in 1915, winning 19 games and losing 13. During 1915 James won his last 10 games and the first six he started in 1916. At the beginning of the Spring train ing season this year "Lefty Bill" went south with the Columbus team in the American Association to train, and after being unable to get started bought his own release. He kept In condition, however, by working out with the Louisville club. When McCredie sent James in to pitch the last three . innings of Tues day's game it was the first time in a year the pitcher had faced an oppos ing batsman. Although he only pitched three innings, allowing one hit, he i given credit for the Beavers' victory on that day. When asked as to the condition of his arm. James replied: "I felt a little weak while I was working Tuesday, as it was my first time this season. This warm weather has greatly helped me and I am now ready to take my regu lar turn in the box. Getting on the same team with Wilie and Brenton seems like home, for we were all team mates in the American Association. "L-fty" I Third Bill James. "Lefty" Bill James Is the third Bill James to make his appearance in base ball in Portland. Portland had a Bill James, a big right-hander in 1913 who helDed to win a pennant for Port land that season. Big Bill went to the St. Louis Americans and is now a mem ber of the Detroit team and is doing ernod work. Seattle Bill James also was a right hander. Seattle Bill worked for Seat- lo in the Xorthwestern League in 1912 and after pitching three months he was bought by the Boston Nationals. Bert Whaling. Seattle's catcher, was sold with James for J8000. When he first broke in at Boston he was too wild, but made his mark in 1914. when b nitched in the world's series and won for Boston, allowing only two hits During a barn-storming tour into Honolulu. Seattle Bill threw his arm out and at present is resting at Oro ville, Cal. Seattle Bill had his big year with Boston In 1914, winning 26 games and losing seven. Euchre Creek Has Prize Cow.

LAKE VIEW. Or., July 21. (Special.) Arrangements are under way for a special meeting of the Cattle and Horse Raisers' Association which is to be held in Lakeview this September. William Pollman, of Baker, president of the as sociation, has written that he is mak ing arrangements for the meeting and CHICAGO, 111., July 21. (Special.) There will be a number of extra smart 2-year-old trotters entered in competi tion for stakes this' Fall by the looks of the time made at a recent "record day" held in Lexington, Ky., when 14 of them at that age took records from 2:161-4 to 2:26, and a 2-year-old pacer did the trick in 2:10. As all of these youngsters are en gaged in the stakes to be decided this Fall their blood lines are of interest.

As a dozen other 2-year-old trotters In various training stables have beaten 2:20 In workouts or performances for records, it Is plain the stakes for that age this season will contain more 2:15 or better baby trotters than ever before were seen, and while it is not likely the :044 of The Keal Lady, made last Fall, will be equaled, great contests are assured. To date the Geers colt, Peter June, by Peter the Great, has the call. as ne nas maae a mile at Cleveland in 2:13Ms. the last half in 1:03, final quarter, S0 seconds. The Chicago colt, Arrow Rock, is second with a mile in 2:14, halt in 1:04. and when the Dick McMahon stable left Libertyville the other day for Cleveland, where the Grand Circuit opens tomorrow, he was in first-class form. Another notable performance at the Lexington record meeting was a mile in 2:07 by Hollyrood Kate, the last half of which was done In 1:02. She was bred, trained and driven by John M. Dodge, a New Yorker, who maintains an estate in Georgia for Winter train ing, and another in the Kentucky blue grass region, to whicli the horses are shipped in the Spring. Three of the youngsters marked at Lexington are owned by H. J. Schlesinger, of Milwau kee, they being Nella Brooke, Ellen Holt and Chippendale, the last two by Mr. Schlesinger's stallion. Bierne Holt. Nella Brooke Is by Justice Brooke, the first 2-year-old stallion to beat 2:10 and her dam is Nella Jay, 3, 2:14) winner of the Kentucky futurity. Mr. Schlesinger maintains an extensive farm near Lexington. Bill Rodgers, the Portland baseball star, suffered a severely bruised arm in a series at Los Angeles recently. Judge McCredie Immediately sent him to his new Hot Springs resort, near Eugene and Rodgers thinks the dally hot mud baths did him a world of good. "Wonderful place up there," said he a day or two ago. "If I am not in condition to take the road trip with the Beavers next week I intend to hie my self to the mineral springs- again and spend a fortnight or more there. Fishing is wonderful in that locality." Exhibition Matches to Be Arranged by Various Clubs When Greatest exponents of Game 'Will Be Seen Under Guarantee. Tennis players and clubs are enlist ing in a campaign to secure $100,000 to provide and equip three ambulance sections nder the direction of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association. Their activity and enthu siasm indicate that this project la well received throughout the country and that the entire sum needed will be raised. William M. Johnston, the former champion; Frederick B. Alexander, former doubles champion; Karl H Behr, the Internationalist; R. Lindley Murray. ranked No. 3; Harold Throck morton, o. Howard Voshell and N. W. Nlles have all agreed to devote the nec essary time to matches which are be ing scheduled to raise money for this fund. Miss Molla Bjurstedt. the wom en's champion, and Miss Mary Browne, of California, former holder of the title, also will take part in these matches. Exhibition Play Promised. Clubs belonging to the National As sociation have been notified by Presi dent George T. Adee that these play ers will appear as frequently as matches can be scheduled. They will be asked to guarantee substantial sums, .because the time, available for such exhibitions is limited and so it will be necessary to arrange the dates to get the largest possible sum for the amUulances. Their first match was at Utica, N. T., July 20. In addition to this source or income. clubs are being asked to subscribe to the fund. Any club giving $1000 will have an ambulance named for it. The West Side Tennis Club, the Field Club of Greenwich and the Country Club of Westchester have pledged one or more ambulances each. The proceeds of the National singles and National doubles patriotic tournaments also will be de voted to this case, for neither the Na tional Association nor the clubs hold ing these events will get any of the receipts. The players just named are expected to play in both of these tournaments. National Meet Advanced. What might be called "military necessity" has brought about a change In the schedule that will be of great interest to the tennis world. The date of the National singles tournament has been advanced from August 30 to Au gust 20. It will be played at the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, and will continue for one week. The National Junior and boys' championships, which were scheduled to be held the same week, will begin August 23. This change will bring the tourna ment within the two weeks Interven ing between the end of the firpt train- ng camps, August 12. and the begin ning of the second camps. August 27. This makes It possible that several of the first 10 who are now in train ing for commissions will be able to play. The men in' camp include R. Norrls Williams. C. J. Griffin, Watson M. Washburn. Willis F. Davis and Dean Mathey, and there is a good chance that they can enter this tournament. What promises to be an interesting feature will be a series of five matches between Miss Bjurstedt and Miss Browne. Miss Browne had the better of their last meeting, but many fol lowers of the game think that on grass the chances favor Miss Bjurstedt. Newport Event Abandoned. The change in date of the National ngies is made possible because the event scheduled at Newport for Au gust 20 has been abandoned. Some readjustment of the schedule has been made to meet prevailing conditions. There is no change in date of the Na tional doubles patriotic tournament which will be played at the Long wood Cricket Club, Boston, beginning August 13. Several of the tennis center cham pionships, which are held in various cities throughout the country to quali fy for the National junior and boys' championships will have their dates ad vanced. At present they are scheduled so late in August that it will be im possible for their winners to enter the championship on Its new date August 23. These readjustments will be made as rapidly as possible. No prizes will be given in the Na tional singles and no leg will be awarded on the trophy now in compe tition. A certificate will be given to the winner and his name will appear n the tennis annuals with a notation to 'the effect that he won the National patriotic tournament, which, on ac count of the war, took the place the championship. of Ml O is a practical and easily operated device for throwing; all kinds of clay targets from easy gliders to the most puzzling twisters.

Southern California Sport Writers Have Great Praise for Visitor's Prowess and He Is liillcd Im mediately for Fight. Weldon Wing. Northwest feather weight champion, broke into the box ing game with a bang in Los Angeles at Jack Doyle's Vernon arena last Tues day night. This is how it happened. Two big middleweights were scheduled to clash In the semi-windup in a four-round bout, but one of them quit in the first round, which made the looked-for bat tle very brief. To square things with the large crowd of wildly excited fight fans present Jack Doyle got busy, and after a hurried conference in the of fice with Joe Flanigan succeeded in getting the judge's consent to let Wing go on with Ted Frenchie. the crack Los Angeles featherweight, who claims the title of Southern California. In the words of a Los Angeles paper. Wing proved a sensation. Following is the sendoff given to Weldon by one of the southern sport writers: "Wing landed the first punch in the opening round. It was a right cross and sent Frenchie to the floor for the count of nine. In the second round Wing dropped his man with a left hook, and after that hit him whenever he took a notion, winning the battle by miles. The Portland boxer has every thing that goes to make a great boy, including a punch in either hand." Another Los Angeles paper goes on as follows In its account of the bout: "The real bout of the evening was a mill gotten up at the last minute be tween Weldon Wing, Northwest feath erweight champion, and Ted Frenchie, of Los Angeles. Wing is a great little two-handed fighter and floored Frenchie several times with well directed punches. Wing will make a great match for some of the boys around here who are claiming cham pionships." All of the above goes to show that Joe Flanigan was not far off In his guess when he predicted that Weldon Wing would make one of the best little two-fisted boxers ever turned out in the Portland ring. The Albtna battler has been getting up in the ranks of Pacific Coast boxers by leaps and bounds within the last few months, and it will not be long, if he keeps on de- TIIE pr E Rock Island parties having roved decidedly popular, the en tertainment committee announces they will bo regular features every Tues day evening during the Summer.

Captain Frank Vogler and party, made a quick trip down to Megier's, on the Lower Columbia, last Saturday and Sunday. They encountered a good, stiff breeze both ways, which sent solid water up to the pilot-house windows and report the time of thier lives. Captain "Bob" Roberts, with the runabout Edward E., hit a sunken snag just off the Oregon Yacht Club, while going to the last party and splintered a plank under the waterline. They managed to deliver their crowd and get back to the club hoist. Sheriff Ilurlburt has sold the cruiser Heather to the Western Cooperage Company, to bo used as a towboat down in Young's Bay, on the Lower Columbia. She has been rechristened Cooperage, and makes a good appear ance in her new gray paint. Captain Kable and Roy Crandall have been doing some strenuous exer cising around the Kable boathouse late ly, and both boat and house are receiv ing a thorough overhauling and re finishing.
