The big world series game must have
unnerved the Portland and Salt Lake
players yesterday, because they hit and
kicked their way through one 11-
inning same, which the Bees won 7 to
5. and tied in the second contest, which
was called by agreement at the end of
the seventh inning:, score 3 to 3.
Kenneth Penner started the first
grame for the Mackmen and was breez
ing along; with a three-run lead until
the ninth inning: loomed upon the hori
zon, when Penner "blew" for a few
minutes and the Bees put over three
runs, which tied- up the same and sent
it into the 11th frame, when they "iced"
the battle with two tallies which the
Beavers could not overcome.
Leverenz started for the Bees in the
opening: game of the double bill, but
Hughes relieved him in the ninth after
Oislason batted for Leverenz. The
Beavers failed to put over the required
runs and Long: Tom Hughes gets credit

If the Beavers can win two games today
they will ba mighty close to third place.
but those Sunday double-headers have been
the "Bunker Hill" for McCredie and his

pi
boys. Juat who McCredie will select to
tame the Bees this afternoon ts a question,
although he might start Brentun and
Houck. If he does we might "collect."
w m m
Griggs caught one of Hughes shoots on
the end of his bat in the fourth Inning of
the second game and It went sailing into
the left field bleachers for a home run.
Charlie Hollocher went on a rampage in
the seventh inning of the first game, when
he walked, etole second, went to third on
a wild pitch and stole home while the Bees
buzzed themselves to sleep.
"Mawrlce" Hath tried to put one over In
the sixth Inning of the second game.
Farmer, a fast man on the bags, walked.
Griggs popped a fly to Hath who, "acci
dentally on parpose," caught the ball and
dropped it quickly and tried to force
t armer at second, but Umpire Casey was
"hep" and the gag didn't work. It showed
Kath had his "thinker" working.
m m m
In the sixth innlne with Farmer on first
Rodgers doubled to right center and Farmer
tried to score, but a perfect relayed throw,
Tobin to Crandall to Hannah, caught the
fleet-footed outfielder at the plate. It was
a r.lce try and took an accuiite throw to
get him.

BEAVERS TO LOSE
4 OF STAR PLAYERS
Major Leagues Get Hollocher,
Houck, Penner and Will
iams in Recent Draft.
SHORTSTOP'S CHANCE BEST
Cubs W1H Get Hollocher, Houck to
Report to St. Louis Americans,
Penner to Indians and Will
iams to St. Louis Browns.
When Portland fans say farewell to
the 1917 baseball season at tha
Vaughn-street grounds today they will
have thtir last opportunity of seeing
four members of the Portland team
appear on the local lot in Beaver uni
forms. In the recent major league draft
Portland lost its star hurler. Byron
Houck. who will report at St. Louis
next Spring for a trial with the St.
Louis American League club.
Charlie Hollocher. tho greatest lit
tle shortstop the Coast League ever laid
eyes on. was sold outright to the Chi
cago Cubs for a price that run well
into five figures.
Kenneth Penner. who has borne his
share of Portland's pitching duels, was
recalled by the Cleveland Americans
and will report to Manager Lee Fohl
next Spring.
Kenneth Williams was given to the
St. Louis Browns by the Portland mag
nates in payment for Babe Borton, and
will report to Fielder Jones in the
Spring.
That Portland fans wish the quar
tette every success in the big league
goes without saying.
Hollocher's Chance Best.
Charlie Hollocher. who will report to
the Chicago Nationtls. is probably the
most-talked-of young ball player in
the Pacific Coast League today and his
chances of sticking in the majors is
much greater than any of the four
Beavers who go up.
Hollocher was drafted by the Port
land club from Keokuk, of the Central
Association, in 1915. His fielding rec
ord for the season of 1915 was .932. He
played in 124 games and handled 593
chances and erred 43 times. He hit
.229. After a brief trial with the Bea
vers in 1916 Manager McCredie farmed
him to the Rock Island Club, of the
Indiana-Illinois-Iowa League, where
Hollocher led the shortstops in fielding
and hit .289. He handled 507 chances
in 89 games for an average of .960.
Since his return to the Pacific Coast
League he has developed into a won
derful ball player. He can hit left
handers as well as right and is liable
to hit to any part of the field. When it
comes to fielding he is the equal of
Dave Bancroft, Roger I'ecklnpaugh.
Ivan Olson and for that matter any
shortstop who ever graduated from the
Coast League ranks, and in the opin
ion of many he is better.
Hoack Has Second Trial.
Hollocher's fielding and throwing
have at times been sensational. He
has made stops and started plays that
seemed impossible to execute. He has
made hard chances look easy. He is
the best-looking prospect the Pacific
Coast League has sent to the majors in
many seasons.
Byron Houck will have his second
chance to make good in the majors
when ho reports to the Browns next
Spring. Houck will have all the odds
against him because of his inability to
round to form until late in the season.
The big league managers want a player
to be on edge when the season opens
and that has been Houck's one big
weakness. When the Beavers' pre
mier hurler does hit his stride he is a
hard man to beat and will baffle the
big league clubs with his assortment
of twi.sters.
Houck formerly was with the Phila
delphia Americans and the Brooklyn
Feds until the latter league hit the
rocks in 1915. when he returned to the
Coast and signed with Portland.
Kenneth Penner was never the prop
erty of the Portland club, having been
farmed by Cleveland for experience.
His work with the Beavers this year
has been commendable and he has Just
started to show his real form.
Williams Pays Debt.
Williams will have his second trial
in the majors when he reports to the
St. Louis Browns. Williams was with
Cincinnati in 1916, being drafted from
Spokane. He had a short stay with the
Reds and was returned to Spokane,
where he played in 84 games, hitting
.295 and fielding .959. When the North
west League finished its 1916 season
he was sold to the Portland club, where
he finished the season, hitting .285.
When the Portland club found itself
unable to meet its obligation of $1500
which it owed the St. Louis Americans
for "Babe" Borton. the McCredies sug
gested they take Williams instead and
the deal was closed.
Should either Houck or Williams fail
to make good the McCredies will have
first chance at them if they get by the
big league waiver.
