i BY L. H. GREGORY.
The Beavers don't seem to know
fwhen they're licked. Sacramento had
them whipped, defeated, all but
wiped out in the last of the ninth
yesterday. But because they wouldn't
admit it and kept fighting to the last
man, they tied up the score by a
Garrison finish and then in the tenth
whanged In the required one run.
The score was 3 to 2 and it was a
ball game, mates. Penner for the
Sacs and Sutherland for the Beavers
put on the best pitching exhibition
Df the week. Both these young gen
tlemen were the last word in hurling
efficacy and grace. Through most
of the game they had the heavy
stickers of both lineups paralyzed in
their tracks.
Weak Hitters Surprise.
Such runs as came over up to the
ninth accrued mainly from spasmodic
outbreaks by players of whom it
never would have been suspected.
Thus the handsome Mr. Penner
wrenched the heart of his fellow
heaver in the third by busting a fast
ball over the right field fence. And
in the eighth the Sacs made their sec
ond run when Mr. Mollwitz, who
hasn't been hitting for peanut shells,
drove a scratch triple to right and
tallied on a fly by Stallage.
Only one other hit, be it here re
marked, was made off the gifted
Sutherland in the ten innings. That
was a one-base smite by John B. Ryan
at the opening of the second. But Mr.
Ryan profited little. Almost imme
ulately he was obliterated at second
on a force play and his side retired,
one, two, three.
For the Beavers, Rip King doubled
with one down in the fifth and came
in after another out on Wolfer's
Texas leaguer to center. The ball
got away from Fitzgerald and Ike
reached third, but the error had no
bearing on the score for King would
have registered anyhow and Ike died
on base.
One Ran Looms Large.
But that one run lead for the Sacs
loomed big and ominous when Hale,
first up in the Portland half of the
ninth, was an easy out. With two
strikes on Brazill, it certainly looked
like curtains. This lad Brazill, how-1
ever, conies of a hero breed. He
never quits fighting. Confidence
fairly exuded from him, even with
the handicap of those two strikes.
Penner threw him another and he
drove It against the right field fence,
foul by a few feet.
At this point Colonel Pick, the
leader of the Sacs, had something like
a hunch. He conferred earnestly with
Mr. Penner, both of them shaking
their heads disagreeably at Mr.
Brazill. It was quite apparent that
they didn't like him. What the colonel
said to Penner probably was some
thing like. "Doggone it, he murders a
ball inside pitch outside to him,"
for that was what Penner did.
It came up, a fast pitch on the out
Bide, and Brazill swung from the
ground up. He hit that ball smack on
the seam for a smoking drive to
center.
It went so fast that Fitzgerald had
It on one bounce as Brazill rounded
first. It looked like suicide, but the
fighting second baseman threw cau
tion aside, tore for second, and slid
safe by an eyelash.
l'enner'a Pitch Wild.
Cox was up and Penner's first pitch,
a low curve outside, was wild by a
couple of feet. Stanage stopped it
but it rolled to one side and Brazill
lit out for third. Stanage reached for
that ball three times and in his hurry
each time Just missed it. Brazil!
gained his base without a throw.
Penner ended by walking Cox and,
with the infield jn close, it was up
to Jimmy Poole. Two strikes on him,
and then Jimmy splashed a hot one
right at Pearce, the Sacramento
shortstop. It came so fast that Pearce
did well to stop it. It got awav from
him Just long enough so he couldn't
make me throw to the plate, though
he got Poole at first. Brazill scored.
and it was lucky he did, for King
uuunceo to t-icK ror tne third out.
But with the game tied un. Suther
land bore down so hard in the Sacra
mento half of the tenth that he struck
out two or me tnree men facinir him
By that time it was in the cards for
tne Beavers to win. and thev rti1
Sutherland, first up, singled past
ehort. Wolfer tried twice to sacrifice,
th?n pasted a single to right. On
McCanns attempted sacrifice Moll
witz caught Sutherland at third with
a beautiful scoop and throw. High
forced McCann at second for the sec
ond out. but Wolfer gained third..
It was up to the slugging Samuel
Hale. He wasted no preliminaries,
but smashed the first pitch for a line
hit to center. Wolfer walked in with
the tally that not only gave the Beav
ers the game, but made it five out of
Bix from the Sacs this week and IS
wins in their last 23 sanies

Notes of the Game.
Yesterday's fame wag a thriller and the
best played engagement in the last two
weeks. The Beavers won it by keeping:
their heads up and taking: advantage of
every break in the ninth .and tenth, after
they were realy licked.
Sutherland nad the Sacs eatlngr Out of
his hand for the most part. Penner's
home run was a legitimate tally, but
Mollwitz really shouldn't have had that
second run. His triple was a line hit
against the right-field fense, good ordi
narily for a double. Charley High dived
for it and missed, and by the time he
could pick himself up and find the ball
Mollwitz was past second and going to
third. ...
However, the Sacs really were entitled
to that one break, for goodness knows the
Beavers have been taking enough of the
breaks themselves. It's always that way
with a winning club.
Their victory put the Beavers only two
and a half games behind Vernon in, first
place, ror the Tigers lost again to Lo
Angeles. The Angels and Seals in sec
ond and third maintained their two-gam
and one-game lead over Portland, respec
tively, by winning again.
Fittery, the Sacramento ace. will pitch
one of today's games. Walberg and Bie-
miller or Leverenz will work for Port
land. The Beaver motto Just at present Is "On
to Seatte." They are set on getting re
venge on McCredie's slipping crew for the
five out of six the Suds won here a month
ago.
Don't forget to give Bill Kenworthy, the
Iron Duke, full credit for the way the
Beavers are going. Brazill, with his peppy
spirit and big war club, has helped the
club immeasureably, but it isplaying the
kind of ball Kenworthy teaches full of
snap and fight, with a never-say-die spirit
that goes out and wins in the ninth when
the other club is ahead.
The ball players say that when they get
through with Seattle this time Jim Boldt
will wish he had refused to accept the
Judge Landis decision. The players have
made the Klepper-Boldt quarrel their own
and are out to make Klepper feel good
by rubbing it in at Seattle.

LANDIS TO REVIEW CASE
COMMISSIONER TO CONSIDER
ANY NEW EVIDENCE.
Judge Sends Telegram to President
McCarthy of Coast League,
Promising" to ' Act.
SAN VrANCISCO, June 3. Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Landis, high com
missioner of baseball, will consider
briefs and other' evidence filed in
behalf of William H. Kenworthy,
manager, and W. H. Klepper and J. H.
Brewster, owners of the Portland
club in the Pacific Coast baseball
league, whom he suspended for al
leged irregular practices, according
to. a telegram received from Judge
Landis today by William H. McCar
thy, ' president of the league. The
telegram was in answer to one sent
by the league directors here after a
special meeting yesterday, asking
Judge Landis if he would ..consider
such evidence.
Judge Landis' telegram said:
"Thanks for your telegram. ' Of
course will give consideration to any
thing the parties want to present.'
In McCarthy's opinion this does not
mean that Judge Landis will reopen
the case, but that he will merely scan
the offered evidence to see whether
reopening is justified.
The league's telegram called spe
cial attention to a showing made by
Brewster that he had no knowledge
that his name was being used in the
alleged objectionable activities; that
he is not an officer of the club and
that he was given no opportunity to
put in a defense before the ruling
which was a complete surprise to him.

WILLARD SAYS HEXL TRAIN
IF HE FIGHTS DEMPSEY AGAIN
Ex-Champion Says He Underestimated Jack in First Battle Jess Is
. Making Money Digging Oil Wells in Kansas.
BY ROBERT EDGREN.
EXPECTED to find Jess Willard
surrounded b;- a training staff
and ready to shoot out a lot of in
formation about what he expects to
do to Jack Dempsey fflong in Sep
tember Arriving In Los Angeles early,
in the .morning, I found that no one
in town knew Wijlard was there. He
hadn't visited the newspaper offices.
There was a rumor that someone had
seen him (n the street, but that was.
generally discredited. .
- It took., four hours of trailing- to
locate him on the outskirts of. the
town down in the newest part of the
Wflshire district I rang the bell. The
front door, opened and there stood
Jess, filling the doorway from side
to side and nearly bumping his head
on the. lintel. Jess looked just about
as usual. He wasn't fat, but he was
at least plump, and his face waaround
and smiling. As I stepped in there was
none of the familiar training camp
smell about the place no mixture of
arnica and witchhazel and acrid odor
of sweaty woolens and sodjden gloves.
There was no punching bag lying
in the corner. No photos of Jess in
fighting trunks decorated the mantel
piece. Instead of the usual coterie 01
young huskies with bent noses and
overhanging brows, I found Mrs. Wil
lard and the five little Willards or
at least those who weren't in school.
"Don't look as if you've been train
ing very hard, Jess," I suggested.
"Training?" said Willard. "What
for?"
"Why, that fight with Dempsey in
September. I see you've been chal
lenging him."
Not Crazy for That Scrap.
Jess leaned back in his chair and
laughed comfortably.
"Have I?" he chuckled. "Well, that's
news to me. There's been a little talk
about making a match with Dempsey,
but I'm not thinking seriously of
fighting him again. Tex Rickard has
been wiring me about it and I've
sent him a message or two, but I have
not agreed to anything. Tex has a
notion in his head that I can beat
Dempsey any time I'll train, and he
wants me to do it. He gets after me
every once in a while. But I don't
know whether I want to box Jack
again or not. It would mean a lot of
hard work. I'm in good health cad
I go out and do a little road work now
and then just to keep in shape, but
not with any idea of fighting again.
I'm so out of touch with sport that I
hardlv know what's going on in the
ring nowadays. I don't say I won't
meet Dempsey again, but I'm not con
sidering the possibility of it seriously
at nil.
"Getting ready to light for the
championship again would take a lot
of time. I would need seven or eight
months of hard training to get into
shape to do my best. I can't afford
to give so much time to it.
"I don't know that I'd care to go
back to the ring even if I was sure
of beating Dempsey. I'm in a much
bigger game now. I have some pretty
good oil fields developing back in
Kansas haven't put down a dry well
yet. It's a risky business and you can
make or lose a lot of money in it, but
I've been lucky. I'm in it as a straight
business proposition.. Haven't any
stock to sell. I've had a lot of people
after me to lend my name to stock
selling schemes, but I won't have
anything to do with that sort of busi
ness. It's bad stuff letting your rep
utation be used to get money out of
people who believe in you and who
worked hard for their money ' and
can't afford to throw it away.
la California to Rest.
"I'm developing oil fields to make
money by selling the oil, and it keeps
me busy. I'll have a few weeks here
with my family and then I'll have to
go back to the oil fields again for
a while. In time I expect to make my
home here in California. It's the finest
place rh the world tor me youngsters
to grow up in.
"Yes." said Willard, "a world's
ohampion can make a lot of money.
But I like business better tha,n I ever
liked fighting.
"Do I think I could beat Dempsey?
Well, I don't want to say anything
that might seem to take away any
credit belonging, to Dempsey, but if I
ever fight him again. I'll expect to
win. Winning in the ring depends a
lot on the state of mind. I would ex
pect to win and if I fought him again
I'd have seven or eigne montns of
hard work behind me and I'd be fit
4 would be as good as ever with that
workout. I wouldn't take on any other
bouts first. Wouldn't need to. I would
not learn any more about boxing in
a couple of little fights than I know
now. All I'd need would be condition.
"I've never offered an alibi' for
what happened at Toledo. Alibis are
no good. Dempsey beat me and that
settled it. He beat me with the first
punch. he landed. I never knew what
happened after that. I underestimated
Dempsey. He has bull-like strength
and he has a good punch. I don't think
he's a clever boxer, bat he hag all
the speed in the world and a punch.
He didn't need anything more.- I
thought it would be easy to beat
Dempsey because he was so much
smaller than I was, and I knew he
couldn't match me in strength and
that I was a better boxer. I was care
less. I worked in the pictures until
my training time was too. short. It
would have been long enough for
anyone but Dempsey, but as I say, I
underestimated him.
He Felt Sorry for Jack.
"On the level, I was sorry for the
boysorry I had to knock him out.
So I started easy in mind and a little
careless, thinking I could take my
time and win when I wanted to and
first thing I knew dop he .was in
side with a punch that practically
knocked me out on my feet. Of course
I took a lot more, but the first punch
got me. I was surprised more than
anything else, when I realized what
had happened. It didn't seem possible.
I don't think I'd ever be caught the
same way aga,in.
"What do I think of Dempsey? Well.
I think enough of him to train seven
or eight months if I ever meet him
again. It 11 ta;ke a man in good condi
tion to beat' him. It was a joke to
match a small man like Carpentier
against him. I haven't been following
the sport very closely, but I don't
think there's anyone around who'll
give Dempsey any trouble.
"Then you haven't challenged him
and haven't any intention of going
after another match? And the story
that you have been secretly training
for six months past is the bunk?"
asked.
Willard laughed.
"Haven't had a glove on," he said.
"Only thing on my mind just now. be
sides fixing up a new home for my
family anu keeping track of the oil
busirfeSs, is that I want to run over
and see my old friend Jim Jeffries.
How is Jim, anyway? Fine?
"And say wait a minute do you
