BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Portland's ball athletes won a
double-header from Oakland yester
day at Coast league park and Jumped
two notches 'n the uercentage table.
Scores were 4-3 and 3-2.
Lew Blue got back into uniform
and it was his screaming triple to
deep centre, scoring two runs in the
fourth, that paved the way for the
Beavers' initial win. Cox belted Blue
home with the winning run. Poison
and Kramer were the opposing twirl
ers. The Oaks hit Poison for 13 safe
ties Cooper bagging four hits in five
official trips while Kremer held the
Beavers to six safe blows.
"Suds" "Wins In Duel.
The second game 3-2 develope'd
Into a pretty pitching duel between
"Suds" Sutherland and Joe Eoehling.
Boehling seemed to have all the bet
ter of the argument until the eighth
Inning, when he struck a wild streak
and let the locals cram three runs
across the plate.
Sutherland won his own game by
doubling past third base with the
bases full, scoring two runs, and en
abling Spranger to cross a moment
later on Malsel's sacrifice fly.
Lick Cox's hitting was a prime
feature. Carl Spranger negotiated a
sparkling fielding play in tne nimn.
It was another sizzling afternoon
and most of the population stayed at
borne to pack the well Known vaca
ticn trunk. About 2500 of the "fish'
congregated in the grandstands, how
ever, and it is a question whether it
was the bargain bill or the fact that
they don't possess trunks that at
tracted them thither.
Packing Aids Given.
Packing a vacation trunk, anyway,
fs like siphoning up a mouthful of
varnish. If packing- at home, never
let the feminine of the species do her
loading first. There isn't any record
of a man getting as much as a collar
button into a trunk after wifey has
subsidized the packing acreage. If
packing in a hotel, always throw in
a few of the hostelry's best towels
and bath mats.
But with another double-header
due for today it is no time to talk
about vacation trunks. Judge Mc
Credie says he expects a record crowd
this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock.
Reverting to details -some fans de
mand details. The Oaks got off ahead
.In both games. Successive hits by
Cooper, Miller, Knight and Guisto and
an error by Spranger yielded two
runs in the fourth inning of the cur
tain raiser.. This gave the visitors a
2-1 lead, the Beavers having scored
one in the second on Cox s triple and
a single by Koehler.
Beavers Make Triple Tally.
Portland broke the shackles in the
fourth with three runs. Maisel bent
out an infield hit. Schaller walked
and Blue scored both with a triple to
center. Cox's single through bhort
counted! Blue.
The Oaks led in the second game
2-0. until the eighth. One run regis
tered in the second inning on a single
by Miller, Knights sacrifice and
single by Guisto, and another in the
third on hits by Boehling and Bru
baker and a sacrifice fly by Cooper
Portland scored three in the eighth
Cox singled through third. Koehler
walked and Spranger filled the bases
by letting one of Boehling's hooks
nick his fork hand. Sutherland scored
two with a drive past third and
Spranger scored on Maisel's sacrifice
fly to right.

PENINSULAR PARK CONTESTS.

Seventeen Boys and Girls Receive
Recognition in Playground
Tract Events.
More than 350 youthful athletes of
Portland's parks, participated In the
annual public playground track' and
field'meet'at Peninsula park yester
day.
Competition was open to both girls
and boys, the former staging their
events in the morning, and the latter
in the afternoon. The contestants
were divided into four classes, .ac
cording to ages and heights.
High point honors in the girls'
events went to Peninsula, the girls
of that park collecting a total pf
44 points. Lents park was eeoond
with 41, and Columbia third with 35.
Owing to .the large number of en
tries, and the fact that it was-diffi
cult to tret the boys together for the
events, the boys" section of the meet
was not completed and will be fin
ished later in the week. For that
reason the park scoring the greatest
number of points could not be deter
mined yesterday. Forestry park was
leading with 57 points and Lents was
second.
A pennant was awarded to the
park scoring the greatest number of
points, both for the girls' and boys'
divisions.
Merchandise prizes were awarded
the all around champions . in each
class.
The winners of prizes for the all
around girl champions follow:
Class A First, Minnie Kaylor. Lin
coln park, 16 points; second, Helen
Joffre, Lents park, 13 points.
Class B Aurelia Davis of Lento
Kendall Station team, gets credit for
a no-hit, no-run game and a strike
out record of 22. Only one man
reached second base and that was on
an error. Originally the game was
scheduled as a "take-off" in con
junction with the picnic staged by
the Portland Baseball association. .
. For three innings everybody en
joyed himself immensely and then it
was that the scorer announced that
up to that time only one hit had
been made off Sergeant Davis and
none off Steiger. From then on it was
a -pitchers' battle de luxe. At the
beginning of the tenth the score
stood 0-0. After Bradley had walked
and Thomas and Brookes had got on
via the Texas leaguer route, Simonsen
came to bat and slammed out a nice
three-bagger that cleaned the bases
and started the fireworks. Seven
runs came in in this inning and in
their half of the frame the umps were
retired one, two, three, by Steiger.

CHICAGO. Aug. 21. Japan is plan
ning one of the most ambitious base
ball invasions of the United States
next spring and summer that has ever
been recorded in the annals of inter
national athletics. At the same time
group of wealthy Japanese busi
ness men are hoping to persuade two
top-notch American league teams to
visit Japan for an extended series of
exhibition games.
This news of baseball in Japan Is
brought back from the orient by Pro
fessor Fred Merrifield, who piloted
the University of Chicago nine on its
recent tour of Japanese universities.
' Waseda university is getting ready
for a trip clear across the United
States." said Professor Merrifield.
Heretofore Waseda and Keio have
played only on the west coast and in
the middle west, but this time the
Waseda men hope to arrange games
with many of the leading teams in
our eastern states.
Tour of Coant Planned.
'Professor lso Abe. the "father of
baseball in Japan' and dean of the
colleges at Waseda, assisted by Pro
fessor Benninghoff of the same insti
tution, will be in charge of the trip.
'The Japanese squad expects to
spend nearly five months getting
ready to tackle the American college
teams, and with one of the most
clever and hard-working sets of play
ers in their history, they promise to
win their full share of games. They
plan to start from Tokio in mid
winter, spend two weeks or more in
the wonderful spring climate of Hono
lulu, playing against the versatile
Japanese, American and Chinese
teams of the island, then tour the
west coast from Seattle to Los An
geles in the height of the western
baseball season, while the mid-west
and eastern campuses are still covered
with snow and mud.
"In this way they will easily be
come acclimated and get used .to the
food and travel that play such a big
part in the success of a team. When
the Japanese boys go east, look out

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21. Efforts

Pacific Coast baseball league, more
of the alleged pact between certain
players of the Vernon and Salt Lake
clubs to insure Vernon's winning of

Some of the friends of the cham

cided some time ago that it might!
be that Kuth s home runs were due
in some part to the different baseball
used this year In the major leagues,
so they gathered up a number of
baseballs the Yankee player had hit
out or the parks and sent them to
the bureau of standards here for in
vestigation.
Those balls were pt throuerh
"third degree" if baseballs ever had
such an experience. Scientists pound
ed, beat and dismembered them and
reported that there was nothing in
them that would cause them to "rid-e"
farther when hit than the baseballs
heretofore used. In effect, the sci
entists said, it was the "Babe's"

NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Carl Mays,
pitcher for the New York Americans
probably will be in the game against
Detroit tomorrow. Mays today made
his- first appearance on the field since
the accident, which resulted in the
death of Ray Chapman, Cleveland
shortstop. He "warmed up" near the
right-field bleachers, but after the
game with Detroit started he went to
the clubhouse.
Ty Cobb of Detroit, who was quoted
in Boston . as saying some drastic
action should be taken against Mays
because of the Chapman accident, was
today made a target for abuse by New
York fans. When Cobb appeared for
preliminary practice he was met with
a storm of hisses and booes and these
were repeated each time he went to
bat.
Mays will continue to take his regu
lar turn in the box, Jacob Ruppert
and T. L. Huston, owners of the
Yankees, announced today.
"Mays, while bowed down with
grief, is not a broken reed." the an
nouncement said. "He will go along
and follow his regular means of live
lihood as a strong man should, and
we expect him to win games as usual.
If he requires protection he will re
ceive it from us to the extreme limit
"The district attorney's office has
declared Ray Chapman's death to have
been the result of an accident. No
hostile-, word should be uttered against
the man who was the cause of it. He
feels the outcome more deeply than
most of us do.

Watkins, prominent Portland? club

July 9 and not until yesterday did
the news become known here.

placements. Davis and Roberts tried
to play to Griffin, only to. find
Johnston covering all the ground in
front of the net.

Interest In Baseball Rising;.
'This careful programme is an indi
cation of the rapidly rising interest
in baseball which is felt all over the
island kingdom. Waseda was the
leader in this movement some 20
years ago. Wow every school in the
land boasts of its numerous 'cham
pions,' who hope to show their talents
to the world. Native coaches are
turning out pitchers, batters and
fielders capable of holding places on
any American college team.
'Signs of an attempt to commer
cialize baseball, however, are in sight.
A group of Influential men. trained
in America and longing for the good
old 'fan' days, when they could enjoy
a fine game every day, plan to place
the game upon a 'higher professional
level. They have purchased a large
field near the center of Tokio and
plan to erect a stadium there seating
50.000 people.
"If a representative of these capi
talists, now in America, is successful,
the stadium will be opened by two
of our league teams at the close of
the present season here. At the prices
recently charged at the Chicago-Wa-seda
games, J2.50 to 50 cents per seat,
such a trip by American professional
nines would prove a real money
maker for its Japanese promoters.
STo Semi-Proa In Japan.
'As yet the semi-pro does not exist
in Japan. But if the further plan
carries to have teams organized in all
the leading city centers and tempo
rarily trained by American college
graduate coaches, the oriental kin
dom and its far-flung dependencies
will fairly go wild over baseball.
"If these plans, both ambitious and
difficult of realization, do not mature
at once, a milder programme with :
amateur college league as the center
of interest will be substituted. Every
lover of pure amateur sport In Japan
hopes this latter idea will prevail
thus Dreventing a long and inevitable
train of evils which would follow
commercialization- of the game. It
would be a pity. In any case, to lower
the present splendid standards of
sportsmanship for which Professor
Abe and his colleagues have worked
so long and hard."

POSTING FORFEIT ADVOCATED
Public Should Demand Stop Bo
Put to Frequent Substitutions.
The whole history of boxing shows
that whenever the flood of gold
shekels falling into the promoters'
coffers have been the heaviest, just so
scon have the promoters become
cocky and independent, with a re
sultant turn in the tide.
It ceftainly is bad enough to have
to watch matches which are not
matches but mere pairings for the
sake of making up a card, but there
is one thing that every promoter in
the country can Insist on, both for his
own protection and the protection of
the public. And this consists of mak
ing every boxer who is matched to
appear post a substantial forfeit. If
the boy is on the level he will find no
difficulty in finding the money to
post. If he can't get the money, it
would appear like primary evidence
that he wasn't dependable.
This eimple expedient would go a
long way toward putting a stop to the
continued "substituWons" which are
palmed off on the public at the 11th
hour and which are one of the main
reasons for eo many poor bouts
staged.
