GAME PLAYED 17 SEASONS
Veteran Bemoans Fate When so Kear
to Realization of Dream Cher
ished for Many Years; Chance
Now Is Against Him.
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. McCredle'a New
Southpaw.
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.

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

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

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.

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-

trip down to Megier's, on the Lower

They encountered a good, stiff breeze
