Whatever else he may accomplish with the Beavers, Al Demaree has already converted them into a ecrappy ball club that isn't licked until it really Is. That new spirit won them an even break with Seat tle in yesterday's double-header. After the Suds had run away with the first game, 6 to 2, with Vean Gregg hurling, the Beavers copped the second one, 2 to 1, with a fight' lng wind-up in the eighth. And, remarkable to say, it was the superlative flinging of Harry Biemiller, tne speed-ball king, that made the win possible. Smoke Ball Harry chucked one of the best basil games of his young. life. He had the stuff, he had the control and lie had the fighting heart in the pinches that enabled him to bear down with men on bases and never falter. Biemiller Whiffs Hood. The Suds garnered only six hits off his fast-jumping smoke ball, and three of them were dinky scratches. The only solid smack off him all afternoon was a home-run drive by Wally Hood over the right-field fence in the first inning. Biemiller got back at Wally for that one by whiffing him in the first of the ninth- after the count was three balls and one strike, and when the Suds were trying their durndest to get a. man on the sacks to tie the score. But best of all, Biemiller, the wild man from Georgia, gave only three bases on balls. He was zipping his fast one over the heart of the plat ter most of the time. Ever and anon he would show brief signs of yielding to wildness. When he did that Rowdy Elliott would get down behind the plate, oup his two hands together and pray, command, hyp notize Biemiller into shooting it over. How well Rowdy .steadied him may be realized from the fact that tl.-Aa st- fnliT flm.i, D.V, D. . miller had three balls on the batter, or three and qne, he would get it over and make the batter hit, or strike him out. v -'' Lane Thrice Strikes Out. Lane, the Seattle left fielder, was a strikeout victim three times. He simply couldn't hit that smoke ball. Deacon John Adams, for all his managerial dignity, took three swings twice and sat down. Wally Hood whiffed once, Wisterzill once and Burger once. Biemiller, In short, was Just wild enough to be effective. The Suds batters weren't inclined to crowd the plate and take liberties with his delivery when the next pitch, might come zooming at their beaks. It was a real pitchers' battle, that game one of the best on the Portland field this year. Burger was almost as good as Biemiller. though time and again the Beavers had him In bad holes from which he squirmed with the facility of an educated eel. Until the eighth, Wally Hood's nomer for the Suds In the first loomed like a pair of Scotch breek on a Monday clothesline. The Beavers repeatedly got a man or two on the sacks, yet couldn't push in the tying run. In the fourth tney nad two on with only one out in the sixth two on with two nut and In the seventh Poole reached third with one gone, but then the attack would flivver. Old Pen Cornea Back. But in the eighth the home boys Bnapped into it with the old fie hit - ing pep. Gressett, first up, waited out two strikes, then lammed a screamer to left for a double. Mc Cann sacrificed and both were safe when Burger threw to third and Gressett slid under the peg. Ike Wolfer rammed a line swat to left and Gressett came home, McCann racing to third. Dick Cox in the pinch brought home the winning run with a deep sacrifice fly to left. Only two runs, but they were enough, for in the. ninth Biemiller was invincible. Hood he whiffed after giving him three balls. Poole made a grandstand grab of Barney's drive and Wlsterzil popped to Mc Cann. - In the first game 'lanky "Vean Gregg held the Beavers in the hol low of his big palm. It was a close battle for six Innings between Grumpier and Gregg, with errors giving the Suds two of their runs in the second. But in the seventh they landed on Crumpler, scored two more, and had the game sewed away. Even so, the Beavers tried hard in the ninth, but could score only one. Another Doublehender Today.

Classified A dvertising and Sporting News NO. 31 KElORTHlf CASE TO BEUPTUESDAY Coast League Directors to Decide on Fate. HOT FTGHT SEEMS LIKELY Klepper Certain of Support of Four Clubs, While Two Oth ers Are in Doubt. Directors of the Pacific Coatvt league will meet In San, Francisco ' Tuesday to decide what is to- be done with William J. Kenworthy, former -manager of the Portland baseball club, who is under suspension by order of Junge Kenesaw M. Land is, baseball high commissioner. They also will determine the status in the league of William H. Klepper, president, and James R. Brewster of Seattle, heavy stock holder In the club. Klepper and Brewster In the earns Landis order that suspended Ken- worthy were declared Ineligible to participate in the affaire of organ ized baseball until January 1, 1925, and January 1, 1924, respeotively. League action was held in abey ance after the first decision, pend ing Judge Landis' ruling on a peti tion by the Portland baseball club for a modification of his decree on the ground that under baseball law he had no authority to suspend minor league club owners, but could punish them by a public reprimand. McCarthy Enemy ot Portland. Judge Landis recently in a sup plementary decision declined to modify his original decree In arty particular. Hence the Coast league meeting of August 1 to decide as to the status of all parties concerned. William H. McCarthy, president of the league, is an implacable enemy of Portland and of Mr. Klepper. He has publicly announced that he will carry out the Landis decree to the letter and has declared that Klepper and Brewster must sell their hold ings in the club. , But as president, Mr. McCarthy has authority to carry out such a programme only to the extent that he may be upheld by the league di rectors. And there are numerous signs that the feeling of the other club owners is not so unanimous toward exacting the Landis-Mc-Carthy pound of flesh against the Portland owners as McCarthy has appeared to assume. Entng Ag-ainHt Decision. Cal Ewlng, owner of the Oakland club, and for many years an out standing figure not only in Pacific coast ; league baseball, once having been president of this league, but prominent likewise in the affairs of organised baseball, yesterday made a formal statement to the effect that after thorough Investigation it was the conclusion of himself and his attorneys that Judge Landis had exceeded his authority and had no power to bar Klepper from baseball, nor to suspend him. Mr. Ewing further announced that he .would not vote to deprive Mr. Klepper of his rights as principal owner of the Portland club, and that he would fight any attempt at the league meeting to force Klepper to sell his holding John Patrick, president of the Los Angeles club, and personal representative of William Wrigley of Chicago, the owner, is likewise a certain friend of the Portland, owner. Mr. Patrick has issued na formal statement, but he has made it plain enough informally that he is for Klepper and entirely opposed to any attempt to force him out. Lnne Ik Klepper Adherent. William Lane, the Salt Lake own er, is likewise opposed to the, whole McCarthy regime. He is an almost certain Klepper adherent. With the vote of the Portland proxy, who will be Gus C. Moser, vice-president of the club and its attorney in the Kenworthy case, that virtually assures the Portland owner of four of the eight votes at the league meeting, as President McCarthy has no vote. On the, Mc Carthy side Is certain to be the San Francisco club and the Vernon and Sacramento "clubs to force Klepper out would require at least five votes. The first Landis decree declared Kenworthy to be Ineligible until August 1, but eligible to play in the coast league, though not in Port land, after that should Klepper and Brewster by then have disposed of the Portland holdings; otherwise not to be eligible to play on the coast until 1924, and assigned his contract from Portland to the league. Hot -Sfsrht Likely. In his second or supplementary decree he referred to the fact that Kenworthy's "services" rather than his contract had been assigned to the league, which leaves open u question as to who does hold hia contract, on which the league di rectors must pass. There unquestionably will be an attempt at the meeting by the friends of Portland among the league directors to have Ken worthy's contract and services as signed ' back to Portland by 'the league. On that point a hot fight is likely, for McCarthy no doubt will bitterly oppose such action. Mr. Klepper and Gus C. Moser left Portland last night for the meeting. They were . accompanied by L. H. Gregory, sport editor of The Ore gonian, who will cover the meeting and the action taken by it, so that the Portland baseball public may have the real facts, uncolored by the personal leanings of San Frato clsco writers.
