REDS BATTER DODGERS NOT OX15 GAME OF SERIES WOX BY BROOKLYN TEAM. AIUI BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Slowly but surely the minor league circuits throughout he country are closing up shop for the balance of the present season and, perhaps, for the period of the war. Last Sunday the Pacific Coast In ternational rang down the curtain on completion of one-half of Its sched uled games. By playing 10 weeks of baseball the rules of the national com mission gave President Blewetfs cir cuit the privilege of retaining title to franchise and players. Today, the Pacific Coast League, the only class AA organization in the Far West, will hang out the crepe In com memorative record of what was the most disastrous period of baseball in its history. "Work or Fight" Law Excuse. To the heavy inroads made upon players of draft age of divers clubs of the Pacific Coast League by Provost Marshal General Crowder's "work or fight" edict is attributed the chief cause of the Pacific Coast League's decision to suspend operations. While this Government mandate undoubtedly materially helped the directors reach their decision to conclude the season after today's games, the main factor in causing the P. C. L. directors to toss up the sponge of adversity was the poor attendance. The "work or fight" edict has been wonderful alibi for many various non-paying propositions, but in the case of minor league baseball it has been worked overtime. With the exception of Salt Lake, the clubs of the Pacific Coast League have been playing to only a handful of fans in comparison to crowds of past sea sons. Vernon has been wobbling fi- uanc.ally for some months and Tom Darmody has been singing a song of distress that threatened to disrupt the organization ions; before thic. but the other magnates braced the Vernon mogul up with words of encourage ment and he stepped out and raised enough lucre to make the grade. But the question is "What will Salt Lake say about the decision to quit?' ".alter McCredle Surprised. Walter McCredle. manager of the Bees, and the Mormon City directors were laboring under the opinion that the league would stand the gaff until it played out Ha 30-week schedule, at least, that is the Impression conveyed to Judge McCredle In a telegram sent recently by Walter McCredle in hi mad quest for players. When Salt Lake lost Leverenz. Siglln and Chappelle by enlistment, McCredle burnt up the wires in a frantic effort to secure help. He purchased players from the Southern Association and was in communication with Judge Mc Credle for the services of Players Dau- bert, Daniels, Lee and Rapp. Of the quartet wanted, Daubert was the only one to take a chance. The others are firmly planted at one of the Portland shipyards. In his telegrams, McCredle assured the players that the circuit would fin ish the season. The Bee pilot must have been given this assurance by the league magnates otherwise he would not want to pay transportation from Portland to Salt Lake for four men un less he was positive the circuit would finish. The Salt Lake directors transported two players from the Southern Asso elation and must have done so only after being Informed by their brother magnates that the season was sure to be played out. Closnre Probably Permanent. It Is doubtful if the Pacific Coast League will again open its gates until the present fight to make the world free for democracy has ended vic toriously lor the allies. The same status applies to practically all minor leagues and unless the end comes be fore next Spring it Is probable the major circuits will also vote to close their gates for the duration of the war. Cliff Lee. Daniels and Rapp are laughing up their sleeves at the plight of Harry Daubert, who left last Mon day for alt Lake in preference to ac cepting a position with one of the local shipyard. Unless the rules of the Columbia-Willamette Shipbuilders' League are modified it will be impossible for Daubert or any other player to cavort in a shipyard league game. There is nothing to prevent Daubert from work ing in the yards, but as far as playing baseball it's curtains. Talking of resurrecting the aged and infirm and getting them into major league baseball uniforms we notice with great delight an account of a game played by the Multnomah Club baseball team last week which reported with great emphasis the brilliant play ing and terrific clouting of the horse hide pill by Harry Fischer he of bachelor apartments at the Multnomah Club and owner of a gasoline chariot of quite some design. Fischer was a baseball star of the first magnitude on Portland eandlots when the Willamette River was a creek. He was regarded as the Ty Cobb of the Rose City. 'Tis said Fischer pur chased bouquets of posies and had them presented to himself on crowded days on the eandlots of Albina and Sellwood. Now he Is doing a comeback and the homefolks are singing his praises to the youngsters. More power to him. OLDTIMERS OFFER SELVES MacAuilffe. Carter, Sliarkey and Roper Would Serve Country. NEW YORK.

Four shipb-jildei-s" panic.-', scattered in the oulsk rts of Portland, will ap pease the hungry baseball fan this Sunday afternoon. For the first time since shipyard ball was inaugurated in Portland, there will be no shipbuilders game at Vaughn streel. the league di rectors having transferred the Supple Ballin vs. Peninsula game to Estacada. where a picnic will be held for the em ployes of the Supple-Ballin Co. Rube Maxmeyer, the 'hard-luck" hurler of the league, will probably open against Supple-Ballin. who will start either Davis, the Indian right hander, or Meuth. Grant Smith-Porter mid Foundation, rivals in the first half of the season for the championship of the league, will tangle at St. Johns. In their pre vious engagement they drew a capacity stand and expect to duplicate that feat. Fisher to Be In I.lne-lp. Bill Fisher will take hold of the St. Johns team and will probably play nrst Instead of Hogan. Eddie Yates, former manager, will also be in the line-up and will be stationed at third base. The old-timer has been swat ting the pill at a terrific clip, getting two two-b.ifrgers last Sunday. Wayne Bar ham will be on the mound for St. Johns, while Foundation will start either James or Kvans. Evans isn't pitching as good a came as ex pected, but is bound to pick up. Standifer and Cornfoot will meet in the banner game of the day at Van couver. Wash. Cornfoot is 'tied with McCormick - for f lrst -"pla"ce; "while Standifer Is third. Plllett Likely Choir. Either Plllett or Krause will be the heaver for Vancouver. Plllett started the season in whirlwind fashion, but has fallen down lately, and his wild ness was the cause of Standifer's only defeat, at the hands of McCormick. However, should he be in the pink of condition. Manager Casey's men will have a hard bone to pick as the "Strinsr Bean" has everything on the ball a pitcher should hae, and with a little support from his teammates, will un doubtedly give Cornfoot a hard tussle Casey will start either Rapp or Suth erland. The former Is just ripe from the Coast International League and is in fine shape. Columbia River and McCormick will hook up at St. Helens. The latter is first, while Columbia River is in the cellar; nevertheless, a good game is expected. St. Helens always has good crowds attending its games and. even though Columbia River Is considered a weak team, & large crowd may be counted upon. READY TO QUIT, SAYS COBB Ty Doesn't Believe In Flaying AVIiilo Others Arc Risking Lives. WASHINGTON, July 13.
