Waller McCredies crew of Beavers, assisted by Rood pitching and hitting when hits meant runs, won a double header yesterday from San Francisco by the score of 4 to I and ( to J Charley Graham's bay city nine rarne on the field with blood In their yea. Friday's defeat at the hands of the Beavers was too much for the Seal manager and he sent Couch Into the box to check the Beavers. But the Ms righthander got off to a bad run and yielded three runs In the Initial frame. He tightened up after the first inning and held the Beaver at his mercy for the next seven frames until the sixth, when four hits gave the visitors three more markers. After Schick had hit an easy grounder to the pitcher, in that frame, three consecutive hits by Corhan Hunter and Koemer. a hard grounder by O'Connell to Siglin. and a hit by Caveney gave the losers three runs. Oldham walked the next two men. fill ing the bases, but Couch wound up the batting rally by striking out. Oldham was Invincible after this frame and held tne Seals down while his team-mates put over the winning run In the last canto. After both Blue iind Siglin had made easy outs. Baker singled to short and went to second on a passed ball. Kingdon sent a harp single to left, and Hunter fumbled the ball as he tried to pick it up on the first bounce. Baker scor ing. Barbara Mount Hill. McCredie sent in Wayne Barham to twirl the second game, and Wayne came through with flying colors. Al though he was nicked for 11 hits, he kept them so well scattered that the Seals did not have a look In until the last inning, when three solid blows brought in two runs. Portland again started the fire works in the first Inning. Speas and Wisterzil flied out, but a single by Schaller and a screaming two bagger by I-eifer which scored "Biff" gave the Beavers their first run. The Seals tied the score in the second, when Caveney singled to left, was sacri ficed to second by Kamm, and scored on McKee's hit over first base. Mc Kee mould have been an easy out had the ball not taken a bad bounce Just as Blue was about to nab it, when it hopped over the first Back er's bead into the outfield. Laadberg Tim Out. Lundberg pitched fairly good ball during the next two frames, but blew up in the fourth and before the smoke had cleared the Beavers crossed the pan three times. After Leifer had grounded out. short to first. Blue and sjiclin singled, and Koehler scored the pair with a smashing two-bagrger to center field. Kingdon singled through short, placing Koehler an third, and the latter scored when Barham hit a slow grounder to second, forcing Kingdon. Speas flied out to Caveney, winding up the rally. The Beavers came back the next inning and scored two more on a hit by Wisterzil. a walk by Schaller. an other hit by Leifer and a sacrifice fly by Speas. Charley Graham thought that the Beavers had had about enough prac tice by this time, and Lundberg was aierked in favor of "Death Valley" Jim cott. The former White Sox heaver had things pretty well his own way and the Beavers could do nothing with his delivery. Carl Zamlock. San Francisco right gardener, received a big hand when he made a great one-handed catch of Kingdon's hard liner to right. 2am lock caught the ball while running at full speed.

Superior hitting by Vernon players and poor fielding on the part of Los Angeles gave the Tigers the game here to day. Vernon and Los Angeles will meet tomorrow in a double-header to determine the Pacific . Coast league championship. Today's game was played before a crowd estimated at 16.000 said by officials at Washington park to have been the largest since the opening game of the 1916 season. Both teams pro vided thrills for the fans and the "rooters." being fairly evenly divided, kept up a constant tumult of cheers. Vernon now Is half a game ahead of Los Angeles in the race. To win the pennant, Vernon needs to win only one of tomorrow's games, while Los Angeles must take both. Vernon started scoring in the first inning when Chadbourne. who had doubled, acored on Meusel's single. The Tigers added two in the sixth when Chadbourne hit went to second on Meusel's single; Fisher fouled out; Edington singled, scoring Chad bourne and Meusel, caught between third and home, scored when Bassler dropped Niehoffs throw to the plate.

GEERS GREATEST OF ALL DRIVERS IN RACING GAME Famous Sportsman Now Is 69, and Making 43d Trip With Stable Over Leading Tracks of Country. BT W. H. GOCHER. EDWARD FRANKLIN GEERS was born three miles from Lebanon. Tenn., January 25, 1851. He is now in his 69th year and making his forty-tblrd trip with a stable of trotters and pacers over the leading tracks of the country. During that period he has appeared in races be fore more people than any man who ever sat in a sulky, tne number at Charter Oak park, Hartford, alone being over a million. He has also won hiore races than any man that ever followed the profession in which his name always will be a leader. For all time Geers' name will be linked with that of Budd Doble and Charles Marvin. Each of them earned their laurels by following the hard and narrow path that bears the old fashioned label of integrity. By merit and fair dealing they made their way to the front and remained there as fixtures during the balance of their careers. Doble won his first prominent race in the saddle duly 25. 1861. before he was 20 years old. he having been born at Tullytown, Pa.. October 10, 1841. He rode the gray gelding Rocking ham, which was foaled in 1S45, the property of Artemus Beebe, at Feed ing Hills. Mass. Before he was 25 he was given Dexter, and made him a champion. He was followed Dy Goldsmith Maid and Nancy Hanks, both world's champions, his other racing material including Monroe Chief. McDoel. Bonnie McGregor, Jack. Charley Hogan, Johnston, Del march. Arrow, Kinney Lou and his son W liber Lou. Pair Are Contemporaries. Marvin and Doble were contempo raries. The former was born in 1833 in Genessee county. New York, and died at Lexington, Ky., in 1904, while Doble passed away at Los Angeles, Cal.. on September 3 of this year. After laying aside his blue uniform at the close of the civil war, Marvin located in Kansas. Very little was heard of him in the racing world un til 1876, when he burst upon the eastern public with Smuggler, whose battles with Goldsmith Maid, Judge Fullerton, Bodine and Lucille Gold dust were the talk of the country. His greatest victory was won in the free-for-all at Cleveland, where he de feated the above field. It was fol lowed by a reduction of the stallion record to 2:151 in a race at Hartford. Palo Alto was the scene of .Mar vin's crowning work. At different times while there he reduced all of the world's records for trotters, the sunburst being in 1891, when he cut the 2-year-old record with the won der colt Arlon to 2:10. the stallion record with Palo Alto to 2:084, and ever. Action .will get under way to ihe world's record to 2:08 V: with I day at the Alcazar about 12 o'clock. Sunol. They were the last champions started to the high wheel sulky. Marvin's last was Sillko, a Ken tucky futurity winner that after wards became champion of Europe. Today he is in the public eye as the sire ot the 3-year-old filly Periscope, 2:04. Stubborn Races Won. While time performances were the stepping stones upon which both Doble and Marvin mounted the ped estal of fame, Geers made himself near and dear to the race-going pub lic Dy gathering his laurels in stub bornly contested races, many of which were in doubt to the last stride of the last heat. He also had his cham pions in Hal Pointer, Robert J., The Abbott and The Harvester, while the triple team record of 2:14 which he made with Belle Hamlin, Globe and Justina at Cleveland in 1891 in all probability will remain unchallenged forever. There are others on the way, but if Geers should never draw a rein over another horse, his fame is se cure. The pegs were driven home by Mattie Hunter, Brown Hal, Star Pointer, . Hal Pointer. Hal Dlllard. Fantasy, Robert J Hamlin's Nightin gale. Joe Patchen, Lady of the Manor, Lord Derby. The Abbott, Heir at Law, Billy Buck, Direct Hal, Anvil, Etawah, Dudie Archdale, The Harvester.

Because some of the fans abused the privilege, no more smoking will be permitted 'during the playing of the world's series games by the Star baseball board at the Heilig theater. Manager "Bill" Pangle was perfectly willing that the baseball fans should smoke while the board was in action, but when some fans did not pay any attention to a few requests and over did the smoking end, he was forced to call off all smoking. Today's contest between the Chi cago White Sox and the Reds is to be -interpreted by the board at the Alcazar theater Instead of the Heilig. It was found impossible to run off the game at the Heillg owing to the fact of the new Orpheum show com ing in, which would require the use of the theater for rehearsals during the time that the game would be In progress. The board will be moved to the Alcazar for today only, how- W HILL PLAY UNIVERSITY ELEVEN TO BE MET NEXT SATURDAY. Multnomah Has Strong Line and Pliilbrook Expects to Have Three Sets of Backs. The kickoff of what promises to be a banner season for the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club eleven will be made next Saturday with the winged "M" eleven scheduled to clash with the university of Oregon at Eugene, in the initial contest of importance for both teams. Coach George Philbrook of the Multnomah club squad, had hoped to play a practice game yesterday, but was unable to line up an opponent to bring to Portland. Instead he will split the squad up today and send them through some stiff scrimmage which promises to be as hard going as any game he could have arranged. The fight for positions on the first string eleven is on and a definite selection will not be made until a few days before the game with Oregon. At some spots, the choice is about a toss-up and with a world of classy gridiron talent Philbrook has little to worry about the opening game al though he will be stacking up against what looks on paper to be one of the strongest elevens in the Pacific coast conference. Players of the caliber of Fred Rehbien, Dave Philbin, Tom Loutitt, Len Strlebig, Teg Tegart, Andy Feich tinger and Mike Block, are hard to beat, when working together. All of these men are out for the line. The backfield also has plenty of class and Philbrook expects to have three full sets of 'backs available. It is likely that -2 men will be taken on the trip to Eugene next Saturday. A week from this coming Saturday the Multnomah club team will have one of its hardest games of the sea son as it is slated to play the Wash ington State college in Spokane on October 18. Coach Gus Welch has a first rank eleven at Pullman this year and if Multnomah club can trim Welch's men, Multnomah will be fair ly safe against defeat by any ag gregation on the coast. Penson, the 190-pound tackle and fullback of the 1918 High School of Commerce eleven, has been turning out at Multnomah club the last week. Penson graduated from Commerce last June. Aim Cook, the former South Port land star, who played with the club team last year is holding down one of the halfback positions part of the time as is displaying a lot of speed this year. Dave Philbin, who was all-star cen ter while playing with the Columbia university team five or six years back, is being used at one of the tackles on the Multnomah club team by Coach Philbrook. All northwestern colleges made a bid for Philbin when he finished Columbia but he went to Notre Dame. - a The Multnomah club team will miss Hughie McKenna at quarter this sea son, the diminutive star naving en rolled at O. A. C. McKenna played a brilliant game last year and was the whole backfield fireworks in many of the games. Philbrook is having his troubles filling Hughie's shoes. Six Games Scheduled.

SHARP. rive niterscnoiasllc football games are carded for this week, throe of which should be productive of some of the stiflest competition of the sea son. The most important event of the week, perhaps, will he the debut of the Lincoln high school eleven, which v in ne caiiea upon to pluy two games meeting .Limes John tomorrow ami Benson Thursday. Jefferson will Piny l-'raiiklin Tuesday, Washington win meet mil Wednesday and Co- itimnia win clash with Commerce Friday, all of the games being played on Multnomah field. This week is crammed full of fool, ball action. The strong teums of the league are called upon to tackle equally strong teams and the Hgrre- nations, winch have shown up lo the advantage will get the acid test Lincoln Has Strong 'leiiin. .lust what Lincoln will do under fire I his year is a matter of con jecture. The Kailsplitters have prac tically the same lineup as last vear. having seven letter men in the "fold. uu usui-e as one or the best elevens in the league. When James John administered a 3S-to-0 lacing to Com merce last week they stamped them selves as a formidable team and will have to be reckoned with. touch Qulgley's Jefferson high team, winners of the interscholastic championship last year, and who got off lo a good start this season bv trimming Commerce to 0 In their one game played, will he plaving something different in Franklin, than they did when they took on Com merce. Coach liehbion has a fast, hard hitting squad at Franklin and can not be figured too strong. Jefferson defeated Franklin last year. This year Jefferson is rated about the same, excepting giving the plavers the benefit of a year's experience while Franklin looks a good deal stronger than last year. WashiiiKton-lllll Meet I'ronilsliiK. The Washington-Hill game on iVerlnesday for more reasons than one should be one of the best di-Hwinu 1 cards anil games of the season. To I begin with. Hill plastered u 2r-tn-u defeat on Washington last season. j which was the first time since Heck ; was a young canine. In the scconii I general principles, brouciit about h 1 the protest maiie bv Dr. Joseph Hill of the military academy against the postponement of the Lincoln-Washington game from September 30 to November 26. in the third place, both schools boast of good combinations. Washington looked like a million against Columbia, and Coach Leo Strong has plenty of good reserve material to draw upon. The Washing ton backfield. composed of Gilbert Ritchie and, Walter "Dick" Rnbbins. halfbacks; Hill Hurlburt. fullback, and Eddie Edlund, quarter, will make things merry for any other backfield in the league. Edlund Is a fast, heady quarter, while Ritchie, Robbins and Hiirlbuit can all hit the line to a "T." I Keller King, "Dude" Hitchcock. Phil Irvine, Bill Johnson, Ken Scott. Haynes and Quinn present as formi dable a line as can bo found in in terscholastic Circles this season. King played a smashing game at tackle against Columbia and the work of Hitchcock and Irvine at ends also 4 . feutured the game. Hurlburt received against Columbia, which Washington won, 13 to 6, had been under way long, but returned to the line-up the second half and did his bit. Illll Line Also God. Hill also has a crackerjack line ami set of backs and just how strong they really are will come out in the Wash ington game. Coach Donaldson has a snappy aggregation and on their toes every minute. Hill has played two games this year, defeating Esta caria and Benson Tech. Lincoln and Benson, furnishing the attraction on Thursday, should draw a good representation from both schools. Although Benson went down lumbia university team should reg ister a win over Commerce, but may get a battle. Columbia has lost both of its games this year, losing to Franklin. 17 to 7, and Washington. 13 to 6. The team has been unable to get any of the breaks in the pinches and lose out at vital moments of the game. Dewey has a stellar array of football talent but for some reason or other a cog slips. The appearance of Ed Thompson, former Franklin star, at left half for Columbia against Washington, caused quite a stir. Browns' Rush Flivvers. The St. Louis Browns started out good against the New York Yankees last spring, but wound up inglorious ly. On the whole season the Yanks won 12 of tne zu games played.
