At Vancouver. 2:30 Standlfer vs. Penin sula. There will be four shipbuilders' frames today to entertain the baseball fan. McCormick. -which is tied with Cornfoot for the leadership of the league, will clash with Foundation at Bt. Helens. Foundation won the championship of the first half of the baseball season, but has not been play Ins; as good a frame lately as during the first two months. One of the prin cipal reasons Foundation isn't leading the league at present, is probably due to the small amount of strengthening: the team did during: the second half. Manager Cason thought that the team he had at the start of the year was also good enough to wade through with flying colors during the second half and while the other teams were getting additional material, Cason did not have any strlng3 out for any new players. He sees his mistake now and Is out with the rest of the managers hunting for new material to strength en his batting department. Pillett Slated to Start. Peninsula and Standlfer will clash fct Vancouver. Although "Stringbean" Pillett pitched the whole game against Foundation last Thursday, he will un doubtedly be on the mound again. The Vancouver "whirlwind," who pitched such wonderful games at ,the start of the season, has loosened up a bit lately. Pillett is a truckhorse for work and pitching two games a week does not hurt his pitching wing a bit. Rube Maxmeyer will be on the mound for Peninsula. Reuben has been hurling fair ball all season and with horseshoe In his pocket should make good showing. Grant Smith-Porter and Columbia River will fight it out for the cellar leadership at St. Johns. Both have lost four games and have yet to reg ister a marker in the win column. Both managers are sure that their teams will be on the long end of the score, and this game should be a real hum dinger. Winners Tackle Bncfcarooa. Cornfoot, the league leader, and Sud- ple-Ballln will clash at Vaughn Street grounds, the winner meeting the Buck aroos in the second game. Cornfoot has not lost a single game since Pearl Casey took hold of the team and is confident of giving the Supple-Ballin nine a handy trimming. "He who laughs last laughs best," is the only thing that Manager Rogers of Supple Ballin said when asked about his team. This will be the last game for the Portland Buckaroos and they are de termined to make a whirlwind finish. CAMOOXZ1 TO LEAVE RAYMOND Southpaw Signs With Grant Smith- Porter . Team at Aberdeen. ABERDEEN, ' Wash.. July 6. fSne- clal.) Jean Camoozi, Aberdeen League southpaw, has been signed by the Grant. Smith-Porter shipyard, of this city. He will begin work at the ship yard Monday. Camoozi won favor at the hands of local shipyard men when he pitched two games against the Sanderson-Porter shipyard club, of Ray mond, Saturday. He allowed only 12 hits In the two contests and only one base on balls. At the Traps. Programmes of the grand American trapshooting handicap tournament the blue ribbon event of trapdom and the greatest spectacle In the world from the viewpoint of the sportsmen are now in the hands of the thousands of trapshooters who have participated in competitive shoots during the past five ysars. The "G. A. H.." as the bier shoot f est Is best known, will be held for the sec ond successive year under the auspices or the South Shore Country Club. Chi cago, 111., and the dates of the tourna ment are August 6, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Changes are slight as regards the events, but in the distribution of the prise money a change is announced that is mighty important in these days of Stress. e One-half of all winnlners ef 120(1 nr Jess will be paid in war savings stamps and one-half of all winnings over 1200 win be paid In liberty bonds or, in other words, one-half of the prise money of the tournament will be paid in war savings stamps and liberty bonds. This means that the United fcUates Government will reap about $10, uuo to nelp in prosecuting the war against the Huns. e e It has been customary In other, years to allow the winners of state cham pionships 16 In number $50 toward their expenses to the grand American handicap. This year the winner of each state championship who partici pates in the National amateur cham pionship will be given a $50 liberty bond which will help swell the total. e Trapshooters have unceasingly worked to aid the Government in prose cuting the war. financially and other wise. In nearly every one of the stat6 championship and other important tournaments war savings stamps and liberty bonds have been given In lien of other prizes; trapshooting clubs have thrown their traps open to instruct drafted men in the art of shooting, and from club records about 100,000 trap ehooters have Joined the colors. Sev eral ambulances have also been fur nished to the American Red Cross and these are in active service in France. . On August the Chicago overture, 100 targets from IS yards; the National doubles championship at SO pairs and the National amateur championship for the winners of state championships will be held. The preliminary handi cap will take place on August 7, the grand American handicap on August 8 and the consolation handicap on August The handicaps will in every case range from 16 to 23 yards, and the one set of handicaps will carry through all events. Entries for the grand American handicap which has always been looked upon as the big event of the shoot will close July 20. Penalty en tries can be made after that date, but the Interstate Association would pre fer all those who Intend to partici pate in the event sending in their en trance by July 20. The tournament will open on Mon day, August 5, with the South Shore Introductory a 200-target event at 18 yards. The professional championship of the United States will also be con tested in this event. This will be the only professional event of the week. The pros will be squaded among them selves. The only prize for the event will be the .honor of being the cham pion. In addition to the liberty bonds and war savings stamps to be given in the grand American handicap tournament there will be a Red Cross event run ning during the entire tournament, for which the Interstate Trapshooting As sociation will give a $100 liberty bond to the winner. Targets will be donated for the event and the entrance fee and all other receipts will be turned over to the Red Cross. Trapshooting is truiy an that it has been named the patriotic sport. It will be necessary for a snooter to compete in either the preliminary or grand American to enter in the conso lation and furthermore any shooter who has won more than his entrance money in either the preliminary or grand American is not eligible for the consolation s' Besides the usual lineup of trophies there will be an additional one this year the Columbus, Georgia, cup- given by the Board of Trade of that city. This trophy in other years was FAkREN DISAPPOINTMENT IN REGENT SCRAP WITH DUFFY Promise Given When Frankie Stopped Willie Hoppe Not Borne Out in Ring Operations Hoppe Still in Hospital. BY HARRY B. SMITH. S' AN FRANCISCO, July 6. (Spe cial.) Frankie Farren is not alto gether an exploded phenom, but we'll have to admit that Dolph Thomas' lightweight doesn't look as good as once was the case. His steady progress upward has slowed down to a walk, and while Farren has the mak ing of a good boy, we must confess that he is not the star we thought he was when he stopped Willie Hoppe. We gave Farren credit for too much in besting the Butchertown lad. We rather stuck him up on a platform all by himself and now, as the result of his most recent fight with Oakland Jimmy Duffy, we have discovered that after all he is no better than a lot of other fellows. Dairy's Right ;Is Surprise. This boy Duffy, who has been on dis play in the Northwest, was matched with Farren last Friday night. And af ter two rounds of even-up fighting Duffy was the surprise. He outboxed Farren and Anally knocked his man flat with a short right to the point of the chin. Frankie turned on his back, with his nose hoisted in the air and eyes shut. Everybody thought it was the beginning of the end and half the audience started for the exits. At the count of nine Farren was on his feet and, though dazed, stuck the round out in mighty good style. The San Franciscan did fairly well in the fourth, when he half way sent Duffy down with a right cross of his own, but the decision of Referee Toby Irwin was all a mistake. He called It a draw, when Duffy, as the experts are agreed, had a good advantage. This will call for a return match, but not for another week. Frankie. so the story goes, was thoroughly disgusted with himself and wanted to take a va cation to disappear from San Francisco for a few days. As matters stand the return bout will be put on next week. Fan-en's Taetlea Faulty. Farren may do better, but this boy Duffy looks good to me, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him score a win at their second meeting. Farren is a fair ly clever chap, but since he stopped Hoppe Frankie has an idea that he must hold back with his right and knock his opponent stiff. Perhaps, if he abandons that scheme and goes back to real boxing, he may again become one of our leading lights. Hoppe. as I think I wrote last week, has been, and is still, laid upon the shelf with a case of blood poisoning in the leg, due to a recent automobile accident. Though it was feared at the outset that it might be necessary to have an operation to amputate the leg, that danger was passed and now re ports from the hospital are that Willie is going to recover. He still insists that he wants a return match with Farren, and declares that when he is over the shock of his opera tion be will be as good as ever. But his best friends say no, and they are going to enter some serious objections if the promoters and Hoppe get to gether on the basis of another fight. Rivers t "Try Cemebaek. The desire of Farren for a short lay off this week brought about a shift in the cards and opened the way for the comeback match of Joe Rivers and Kid Tillie Herman, of San Jose. Herman knocked Rivers galley-west at the time of the Red Cross benefit show, and had, the San Josean been equipped with fe- , r .. , a r J i - K ': h 0 A . x.-A....j tr- , Ji 41:15 i fri ft ta I 1 "Bnaber" Blake, Assistant Maaaa-rr. 4 Tltfaay, Third Base. 6 Shaadellng, Catcher.

National doubles, preliminary and grand Ameri can handicaps. The trophy is valued at $1000 and goes to the shooter who wins it three times. It has been in competition eight years. The fastest mile worked by a 8-year-old trotter this season was placed to the credit of Hollyrood Bob last Fri day, when he turned the North Randall track, in 2:08 VI- He is by Peter the Great out of Fanny Stanton, 2:1014, and is owned by J. L. Dodge. a little more experience he might have stopped Joe. But that didn't happen. Ever since the Los Angeles lightweight has been pleading for a return bout. This is his chance, and if Joe doesn't make halfway good he might as well decide to call it quits for all time. Another relic of days gone by in the fight game came to hand this week when announcement was made of the tearing down of the Eighth-street arena by a local wrecking firm. The Eighth-street arena was built Just prior to the Jeffries-Johnson fight by Lioula Blot, a local commission man who had visions of coining a fortune as a fight promoter. Louis figured that a fight between Sam Langford and Al Kaufman would be a corker, particular ly with the fans all warmed up to the Reno engagement between the cham pion and the ex-champion. So Louis built the arena at an esti mated cost of $10,000. Incidentally, be it said, the wreckers paid something like $1500 for the lumber in the arena that is eight years old. Coffroth Tries Fortune. But Blot didn't succeed particularly well. Later he turned his lease over to Jimmy Coffroth. who staged a num ber of big fights, including lightweight mills, in which Willie Ritchie, Ad Wol gast. Battling Nelson, Owen Mo ran and others figured. When Eddie Graney, the Tuxedo ref eree and promoter, matched up Ritchie and Joe Rivers for a young fortune, he had no arena, and he was finally given a one-day lease by Coffroth on the Cighth-street arena at what is said to have been a fabulous figure, almost enough to construct a new arena had there been time for that work. The knocking out of anything more than four-round fights in California killed the Eighth-street arena, and Coffroth several years ago abandoned his lease. Coffroth's old Mission-street arena, in which championship mills were staged In the outdoor air after the fire, has also been torn down and there Is mighty little to which we can point when we have visitors who want to see the sights of pugdom of a few years back. A Saatell Ret Welcome. Frank Schuler, who is back from a vacation, denies most positively a story appearing in a local paper that he planned to use Ad Santell in a match in the near future, and that he didn't care what the publie thought of it all, - "I haven't seen Santell since the day we met In the courtroom, just before he left California. said Schuler, "and 1 what is more, I don't care to see him. I am Inclined to think It will be better for Santell to He low. "There is little enough money In the boxing game these days, let alone what could be made in wrestling. Ad beat all the second and third raters, and beat them so handily it would be foolish to send him back at them again. To send him against a top-notcher would mean a lot of money for railroad fares and the like. Our expenses would run to $1000 before we oper.ed the doors, and in these days that s too much. - "Further, I question very much whether Santell Is sufficiently popular. He created a lot of enemies for him self in his last few appearances, and I doubt the advisability of even trying to use him. If Schuler feels that way It's almost a certainty that no one else will take a chance, so we are safe in saying our farewells to Adolph aa an athletic card. xmrw)1 r. W' ANGLERS Llbke.

'DOUBLE CROSS" ALLEGED Battle at Independence Day Smoker Held to Have Been Exhibition, but Weldon Wing- Is Quite Sure It Was Otherwise. As a result of the four-round en counter between Joe Gorman and Wel don Wing at Vancouver, July 4, in which Wing was handed Gorman's title of featherweight champion, quite a fuss baa been stirred up not only between the two rival boxers, but between their many friends as well. It is said af fairs have reached the breaking point between Wing and Gorman and that they are liable to settle their little squabble the first time they catch sight of each other on the street. The embrogllo originated when Lieu tenant Sheeny, who arranged the smoker at Vancouver, asked Joe Gor man, who held the featherweight title. to appear at a smoker on Independence day. Gorman consented and told Sheehy he would box any opponent that might De secured, wita & keen sense of what Would be a banner attraction Sheehy sought out Weldon Wing. Gor man s closest rival for the crown. Wing suggested that the bout be not an exhibition but a real contest. eheehy assured Wing, so It is said, that the bout would be a real slam-bang affair and a winner would be declared. Gormss Preteste Vlgoretaaly. Gorman claims he was not advised that a decision was to be given and had no idea of Sheehy's intention to pick a winner until he had crawled through the ropes on the night of the bout. Then he protested vigorously against a decision being rendered. Sheehy la said to have finally promised Gorman that no decision would be rendered. When the boys had put up one of the best bouts staged hereabouts in many moons, Sheehy asked the three judges for their verdict. They gave the de cision and title to Wing, with Gorman protesting - In no mild manner. Joe claims he was double-crossed and is aching for another fight with Wing. The question arises now, who is thi featherweight champion of the North west? Beth Principals Talk. Here is what the principals say: Joe Gorman "I was double-crossed. I told them I would not stand for a de cision and if I thought they would not keep their word would have pulled the gloves off and left the ring. As It was I a-ave Wing a trouncing and the de cislon in his favor was a robbery I am still the champion. Weldon Wing I defeated Gorman and am champion, that is all there is to It. Where does he get this no-decision stuff? Because he happened to be champion does be think he can put a fence around the title and save it? He knew I would defeat him and that is why he wanted a no-decision affair. None of this exhibition stuff goes for me and I am willing to meet anyone the promoters get for me and hope they choose Joe Gorman and if I am beaten. I will shake with him Instead of raising a holler. A mlins occurred after the boot. In which Gorman and Wing and their friends battled furiously over the out come of the ring encounter. Fists flew thick and fast until the military police rushed to the scene. In the meantime both Gorman and Wing and their friends are arguing the matter and on the surface it looks as though the best way to settle the argument is for the boys to step Into the roped arena, take the lA-round GORMAN I CKS HARD route and settle their differences once and for all.

BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON. The crepe will be hung on profes sional baseball In Portland and the Pacific Northwest today when the cur tain is rung down on the Pacific Coast international season, which has com pleted half of Its scheduled games and according to the rules of the govern ing body In baseball Is entitled to re tain title to Its franchise and players. When Umpire Rankin calls the last man out In the final Inning of today's game he will have closed the most dis astrous season the great National pas time nas ever experienced In Portland. Rose City fans have absolutely en- Joyed what little baseball they inter ested themselves In this year by perus ing tne accounts ana box scores in the newspapers. "War Deals Death Blow. Baseball In Portland has been on a rapid decline since the outbreak of the war In 114. The attendance at Vaughn -street park has diminished gradually until, during the present week. It has been impossible to realise enough from paid admissions to pay tor the balls used In the game. ine present world-wide conflict with everybody Interesting themselves in doing something to help win the war has undoubtedly been the big factor In causing the Pacific Coast International to shut up shop. Times were never more prosperous in Portland than they are today. The population has in creased. Everybody Is busy, but, little time for baseball has been found in the hUHtle and bustle of everyday life. The fact that Portland was forced to dance to the music of the Pacific Coast League directors and later forced to band over Its franchise without any reimbursement and seek haven ia a circuit of lower classification where a greatly inferior article of baseball was served its patrons was another thorn in the side of the game in this city. Jadge McCredle Ont tSOOO. The present season cost Judge "Will- lam Wallace McCredle a cool $5000 in salaries and expenses for his team. At no time during the ten weeks the Pa cific Coast International wobbled about on baseball's tempestuous seas did the Portland team play to more than a handful of spectators. It was dis couraging not only to the players, but fans alike and the former enthusiasm of years past was noticeably lacking. Juuge McCredle is authority for the statement that baseball in Portland has been on a decline since 1914 during which Interim he has lost approximate ly (23,000. The present year has been the most disastrous. To make matters worse this season Portland had but one player who was of a salable nature. Cliff Lee, the . Buckaroo's nifty piece ef backstopping machinery, was the only player who showed major league ability during the 10 weeks of baseball, and several clubs made inquiry, but at this writing none has closed for his purchase. Llfe-SavIng Sales Mi a as. In past seasons the Portland club has either sold a couple of players or the majors have drafted one of McCredie's stars. Last season Charlie Hollocher was purchased by the Chicago Cuba for a neat sum. which helped pull the McCredies out of the hole. To those well versed in baseball it looks aa if professional baseball Is doomed until after the close of the war. Conditions are such about the country that fans who formerly were every-day attendants have ceased to in terest themselves in the game. Thou sands of former 33d-degree fans who paid their quarters and half dollars at the gate every day are now doing their bit across the big pond. With such conditions It is hard to conceive how anybody could expect the great Nation al game to thrive. Unless all signs fail Seattle and Portland will become the territory of the Pacific Coast League when pro fessional baseball In these diggings la again resumed. These two cities are worthy of consideration at the hands of the California magnates, and when the proper time comes It is expected that no serious opposition will bob up to prevent the Pacific Coast League annexing the two Northwest metrop olL Earl Weber Home on Furlough.
