SALT LAKE, July 16. Salt Lake
took both ends of today's double
header, the first by a score of 7 to 3
and the second 11 to 6. The Bees out
classed the Beavers In every depart
ment of the game. They ran bases at
will and pulled everything known to
baseball and got away with it.
The home-town pitching was much
superior to that of the visitors. In
the first game the Bees batted Glazier
bard and in the second they batted
Brooks even harder.
Paddy Siglin kept up his hitting to
day. In the first game Paddy got
three hits and in the second he got
four.
Bill Rumler was the home-run king
today, knocking the ball over the
fence in each game. In the second
Rumler got four out of four.
The pitching of Thurston in the first
same was of a high order. Jack
Bromley did all the pitching that was
necessary in the second game. It can
be said that it didn't require much
nitrhincr to win for Salt Lake in the
second, considering the manner in I
which th Bees batted.
A feature of the second game was a
two-base squeeze, on which Johnson
scored from second on Krug's bunt.
Stolen bases were numerous on the
local side. Mulligan getting three in
the first game, two of them on throws
designed to catch him off base.
The Bees opened the first game
with throe runs in the very first in
ning on three hits, a stolen base and
two sacrifice flies. They were never
headed, adding two in the third and
one each in the fifth and seventh.
Hits by Kingdon and Siglin and a sac
rifice fly by Wisterzil scored one for
the Beavers in the third inning. The
same combination, except that Maisel
hit the sacrifice fly, gave them their
second tally In the fifth, and Siglin's
single and W'isterzil's double made
their third in the seventh.
The visitors took the lead in the
scoring in the" second game, making
two in the second inning, one being
forced across through walks by
Bromley.
The Bees chewed off one in the sec
ond and broke into Brooks for three
in the third, due to four hits, a double
steal and a sacrifice fly.
The Beacers tied the count with
two in the fourth on a double by
Spranger, another by Siglin and a
single by Wisterzil.
The Bees stepped in for four and
the game in the fourth. The hits,
which numbered five, included sin
gles by Maggert and Krug, a double
by Sheeley, a triple by Johnson and a
home run by Rumler.
i The Beavers tallied in the fifth and
ninth and the Bees made one in the
fifth and two in the eighth.
The series stands four games to one
in favor of the Bees, with one tied.
There will be a double-header again
tomorrow. The scores: '

Krenter's Pitching Wins and Los

LOS ANGELES. July 17. Oakland
Jd Los Angeles broke even in a
double-header. Kremer's pitching was
the principal factor in Oakland's vic
tory, 5 to 1, in the first game, while
the Angels took the second, 3 to 2,
chiefly through their fielding, as
Heating's pitching was rather loose.

SATISFY PORTLAND
Fans Want Good Old Days
When Home Boys Battled.
EAST CORNERS FIGHTERS
Big Purses and Mill Every Jffght
In Four States May Keep Top
Xotchers Off Coast.
BT DICK SHARP.
Portland boxing: fans have been
clamoring for matchmakers to im
port the best boxers in the country
and give them new faces. If it had
not been for the ten-round law their
wish would never have been gratified,
but after all did the big stars sat
isfy their demands? Nine out of ten
boxing followers will answer "no."
They naturally got tired of seeing
the home boys in action, show after,
show, but in those days they saw
some real fights and were pretty
certain that every time they paid
their shekels to see a main event
it was going to be a battle. The im
porting of the nationally known box
ers put this fact much in doubt.
Who wouldn't rather see another
Billy Mascott-Charley Moy, a Jack
Allen-lioscoe Taylor, a Billy Mascott
Joe Gorman, a Muff Bronson-Eddie
Pinkman, an Al Sommers- Valley
Trambitas, or even one of the old
time Jimmy Moscow-Yost Schmeer
tangles than all the Fulton-Smith,
Schuman - Sheppard. Gibbons - Darcy,
Roper-McCormick bouts in the coun
try? Of course the boxing commissions
are forced to pay out fancy prices and
bring in the top-notch boys, or rather
men who have attained, top-notch
positions in the boxing world, or their
shows wouldn't draw enough to buy
gleves. It is a smarting fact, but
true.
. Crowd Likes to Be Stuns;.
Most of the fistic fans would rather
get stung with Fulton and Smith on
top than pay the same price to see
Joe Gorman and Earl Baird wade
through ten slashing rounds in a
main event either ip Portland or at
the Milwaukie arena. These bouts
suit the crowds better when they are
in the semi-windup or further down
on the bill than when they are the
main eventers. .
Although the fans may not have
been cured they may be. forced to
accept a remedy of its own making.
With the boxing game slated to
open in the state of New York be
tween now and November, with eight-
round bouts in vogue in Philadelphia,
12-round bouts in New Jersey, ten
rounds permissible in Michigan, 12
round bouts in Kentucky, and with
boxing on in at least ten other states
east of the rockies, it is going to be
a mighty hard thing to entice boxers
out to trTe northwest with so much
work and big purses in view on their
own stamping grounds.
Gotham Witt Be Fight Hnb.
When Governor Smith of New York
takes the final steps toward making
boxing once rgain legal by the ap
pointment of a commission it will
mean that no less than 250 and per
haps more clubs will at once spring
into existence in the state of New
York. A boxer with any class at all
will be able to fight every night In
the week and be home for breakfast
every morning. And there is going
to be plenty of money, as the New
York fans have been well starved and
will grub their fistic fodder like a
duck takes to H20.
It was not until the winter season
was over that the city fathers in Phil
adelphia decided to raise the ante
from six to eight rounds In the city
of brotherly love, which means more
boxing and more interest in -boxing
in the Quaker city this coming fall
and winter. More clubs means that
the boxers will find work more plen
tiful. The case also holds true in the
state of New Jersey. The season was
practically." over when the governor
signed the bill permitting matches to

Dion f California, who was eliminated by Neer In third round; Catlin Wolfard. former state champion, who lost to Neer la. the semi-finals. - -
go 12 rounds when the previous limit
was eight.
And then again there Is Massachu
setts slated to have legalized boxing
this coming winter. That state has
plenty of healthy cities which, will
support many boxing clulis.. Connec
ticut is swinging Into line andRhode
Island will be in full swing with 12
round matches.
With such a fertile field to gather
a harvest from a good boxer would
hardly be considered sane to make a
trip out to the coast, which would
take several months, ror a match or
two. It would cost him thousands of
dollars even though be Was guaran
teed -a record purse here, and both
commissions are through making any
"record" guarantees.
So, getting down to the core of the
apple, the local ring patrons will have
to be contented with more matches
between the best material available

plenty of matches that can be made '
which will please even the most criti
cal follower.' Better cards and better
satisfaction should be the rule and
result should put the game once more
on a sane basis.
Of course .from time to time east

in this neck of the woods and will be
featured.

Baseball magnates of the major and
minor leagues are not alone in their
jollification over the success of the
present baseball season. The bush
ball moguls all over the country are
having one of the best years in the
history of the game.
This is especially true of the local
semi-pro teams. For the fiijst time
in the history of the sand-lot games
an organization has been established
which has taken in practically every
team in Portland and vicinity. At
the start of the season predictions
were made that the organization,
which is known as the Portland Base
ball association, would not last
through the season but the associa
tion, which consists of four leagues
and several independent teanps, has
passed beyond the experimental stage
and is running along smoothly. Of
ficials of the organization are al
ready laying plans for an even
greater association next year.
Teams Bunched in Race.
Several teams are -"nched in the
pennant race of all fd ,- - and
this afternoon's games' -wTTT no doubt
witness a switch in the percentage
column for the leaders. In the inter
city loop interest is centered on the
Honeyman Hardware. Sherwood and
Multnomah Guard nines who are
ranking one, two and three in the
order named.
A double-header this afternoon at
Vaughn street will find the Guards
men running, up against a strong
team in the Klrkpatrick Stars. The
first game of the double bill
be between the Arleta VV. O. W.
Cook & .Gill.
At the same time Honeyman
be battling with Sherwood on
will
and
will
th
latter s home stand. The Onion city
lads have been the only league team
so far this season that has been able
to take the number of the fast Honey
man aggregation ad the latter are
out to even up the score. One of
the biggest crowds of the season is
expected to be on hand at Sherwood
to witness the fray.
Teams Clash Second Time.
The, Ktrkpatrick-Multnomah Guard
clash will be the second time this
season that these two teams have
met, the first encounter resulting
in a victory for the Guardsmen.
Benny Culver will pitch for the sol
diers and if he is in the form of last
Sunday, when the soldiers defeated
the Hillsboro team, the Kirks had
better watch out. The old reliable
Mattson will be behind the bat.
Bill Heales of the Kirks has ' not
selected his battery, but he may start
Beaver, who recently returned from
Tillamook.
In the class AA group a torrid fight
wilr be staged this afternoon between
Kendall Station and Crown Willam
ette. The latter team is leading the
league but the Kendall Station team
supporters claim that the Paper
Makers' position, f prominence will
not last long, for Kendall Station is
out to knock them off the perch thie
afternoon. The game will be played
at Canemah park.

BY LAWRENCE G. SMYTH.
Playing the best game of his
youthful career, Phil Neer of Port
land and a native Oregonlan yester
day defeated Carl Gp.rdner of San
Francisco in the finals of the men's
singles of the Oregon state tennis
championship. The score was 2-fi, 7-5.
6-1, 3-6, 6-1.
Miss Mayme MacDonald of Seattle
defeated Mrs. W. 1. Northup of Port
land in the challenge round of the
woman's singles. 6-2. 9-7.
Both matches were played on the
Irvington club courts.
Miss MacDonald Holds Title.
By defeating Mrs. Northup. Miss
MacDonald retained her title of state
champion and also won the third leg
of the Waverley bowl. The first set
was much closer than the score would
indicate. Mrs. Northup played good
tennis in this set. but did -not seem
to strike her usual stride. In the
second set, with the score 5-2 against
her. she rallied and tied it up at 5-5.
The lead alternated from then until
the 14th game, when, by a great ef
fort. Miss MacDorjald succeeding in
slipping over the two - games that
gave her the victory. Once in. this
set Miss MacDonald had the score in
games 6-5 and points 40-15 In her
favor, but could not put over the
much-needed point.
Phil Neer, without a aoubt the most
sensational player ever developed in
Oregon, played a beautiful game
against Gardner, Although only IS
years old, he succeeded in winning
the championship from an older and
more experienced player. Never be
fore has a champion been crowned
who had not at least reached his ma
jority. Xrn's Play Clever.
Phil lived up to all expectations of
his friends by his defeat of the south
erner. Hi3 hard driving and clever
returning of Gardner's deep lobs
which he rainbowed over his oppon
ent's head were features of the match.
He played a steady game, never los
ing his head, although he was forced
into many awkward positions by his
veteran opponent.
The first set opened with Neer serv-
ling. The first game went to Phil on
three outs and a net nyUardner. The
California star settled down and took
the next five games in a row. Phil
I had trouble controlling his serve,
many games of his serve being
thrown away by his inability to keep
'the ball out of the net. He won the
cham-
nnnn mn nnu a
runiLAraj qui
I seventh game after it had gone to
j deuce. Gardner made four outs in
' this game and this, coupled with a
net ana a pass by Neer, lost the sime.
The eighth game. Gardner serving,
went to deuce, but the Californian
took the game after the advantage
had changed sides twice. The score
was then 6-2.
The second set was one of the best
of the match. Neer tok t-e first
Karn on his serve. The lead alter.
nated until the seventh same, when
Gardner took the lead. 4-3. This was
short lived, however, for Neer won
two in a row. Gardner won the tenth,
game, only to lose the next two. This
gave Phil the set. 7-5.
V Second Set Play Better.
The result of the second set en
couraged Neer and he fought like a
demon from then on. Only two games
in the third set went to deuce. Phil
driving the ball to the base line with
the speed and accuracy of a veteran.
Like the second set. this one also
went to Neer by a score of 6-1.
The players then rested for 10 min
utes. The fourth set was a duplicate of
the first, Neer being unable to get
started. Many of his serves went
into the net. The lead changed hands
until the fifth game, when Gardner
won three straight, the score be in it
5-2. Neer won the eighth game, but
lost the ninth on his errors. This
save the set to Gardner. 6-3. The
score in sets stood two all.
In the fifth set, and the" one that
proved the downfall of Gardner, Neer
placed the ball to any part of tha
court at will, driving, chopping and
lobbing with equal accuracy and
power. Neer took the first four
games, but lost the fifth. The next'
two went to Neer, giving hira the set
and match.
