BEAVERS SLAUGHTER 2 GUNNERS ID ROLL IIP EVEN DOZEN SCORES, WHILE B. RYAN IS BAITING DEMON WHOOP-EE! 'S ROARIN9 BILL F. v QUITTER KLINE i A THE MTU HERE mam ROUND ' These Beavers of ours are no respeo tor of perron as Senor Arrellanes. late . ef the big enow will attest, for they knocked Frank out of the box In the third round, and then treated his suc- ' cessor, Southpaw Thompson to a fright ful lacing, ringing up an even dozen runs and 18 blows off the duet from the southland. What runs Koestner " allowed were the result of sudden at tacks of ennui, and had he kept the : sam pace that he started with the statesmen would have been turned back with a coat of kalsoiuine Instead of ' making three runs. , The feature of the game was the hit ting of the king pin batter. Buddy Ryan, who got five clean blngles In as many times at bat. Including a double. Koestner. who had followed Buddy right along, broke on his fifth time up and filed to Lewis, wno maae a nice wicu of a Uner. Patsy Beaches Himself. Patsy O'Rourke, the harpist, became bo disgusted at the inability to stop the , Beaver blffers, that lie Dencnea nimseu, Shlnn and Thomas at the beginning of the last half of the sixth and Inserted, respectively, Helster, Neblnger and Kerns, the first two fattening their batting averages. ' Last night O'Rourke didn't know who : be would Ditch on the morrow. Hunt. Byram. Baum, Thompson, Fitzgerald and Arrellanes have bad their fling and failed. McCredl will likely use Steen. Dubious la rirrt. Things took on a dubious hue In the first Inning when Juewis walked ana Shlnn stopped, a pitched ball, and then Kuhn let one get away from him, but Koestner tightened and whiffed O'Rourke, caught Lewis off third on , Danzig's grounder and finally madd Uahoney arch to Chad Bourne. i Goodness me, .what the champs did to handsome Mr. Arrellanes. Three hits and two errors gave them their first quartet of runs. Chadbourne was out .when Lindsay singled across second. Lercben's error gave Rapps life at first and the pair successfully worked the double steal. An Alphonse-Gaston stunt by Messrs. Lewis and Lerchen permitted Krueger a safe hit, and Lindsay scored. Danzig stopped Feck's grounder, but he made a woeful toss to Thomas, Rapps and, Krueger crossing the plat before Tommy could recover the ball from the grandstand. Peck in the meantime going to second. Sheehaa skied to Mahoney, hut Ryan's grounder across second, cored the ahortstopper. Buddy tried to take second but was out. Van Buren to Arrellanes to O'Rourke.

According to the latest Information there will be between 10 and 12 teams In the Grammar School Soccer league this fall. There were four teams last year, and with the help of the Port land Football association the Gram mar 'School athletic committee will have opportunity to form a good league. Several games were played last sea son and no Injuries were reported, while several Injuries resulted In American style football. The Grammar School Athletic com mittee of Seattle is planning on form ing soccer league when the fall term of school opens and wants two divi sions. ' With soccer fast gaining In popu larlty in both Portland and Seattle, it Is likely that several other northwest ern cities will take up the sport which Is said to be less dangerous than foot ball. A committee was selected In Seattle and will work out the schedule as soon as all the schools have filed their in tention of entering the league. Some of the local schools, which will enter In the -local league are Ainsworth, Chapman, Holman, Shattuck, Holladay, Sellwood, Irvlngton and Failing. 1UEAU Gregg, Ryan and Rodgers Will Hunt n n Rogue River Game Country Invaded Just as soon as the curtain rings down In the American league this fall, Vean Gregg, th senh.itlonal Nap south paw, will gather up his belongings and Start poet hant- for Portland, where he will prepare for a several months' trip Into the Rogue river mountains In com pany with Buddy Ryan, the Cleveland outfield recruit, and BUI Hodgers, the Portland second baseman. If they find game to their liking, it is likely that they will remain in the Jungles all Winter, coming out in the spring early enough to make preparations to go to the Nap training camp at Alexandria -and -the Beaver camp at Santa Maria, Cal., where Rodgers will report.. 1 Ryan and Rodgers will not have their baseball season finished until October 22, and the trio plan to have Gregg make all the preliminary arrangements for the hunting trip, even to getting the . guide, provisions and horses to carry the hunters into the hills. Last winter Gregg and Ryan spent a couple of months In the Rogue river mountains . as the guests of an old woodsman, and had such a good time that they resolved to make an even longor stay this year. Rodgers, who Is an ardent hunter and possesses an arm ory of some 10 guns of various make. Intends, if It la convenient to take his w!f along, and in that event Mrs. Gregg- will probably; accompany her husband. 1 Fielder Jones, the former' Chicago manager who ts now a resident of 1'ortKml, urged Ryan and Gregg to mako . the trip this winter, assuring chain that they would be in "better trim to play baseball next ' season tf they p'nV ff Season roughing Jt Bioj44 P'oe Jones told - Gregg i torlal outfield In the third like water through a sieve and before the Mexican could stop the rungettlng four more Beavers had dented the rubber. As a starter Kuhn popped to O'Rourke. Then Koestner crashed a single through short. Chad kicked in with a double to left center that put Kessy on third, and the pair registered on Lindsay's two- pller to right center. Rapps came along with the same kind of a hit to the same territory, and Lindsay scored. Krueger combed one to left center and Rapps loped homeward.. The slaughter came to an end when Peck skied to Van Buren and Sheehan breezed. Rapps' slnglo with one out, Kruegers out, a steal of third as Peck walked and then a double ste'al for this pair with Rapps tallying. Sheehan's fly to Lewis completed the third-out. Ryan's third hit, a single across sec ond, Koestners third single and Chad bourne's chop to oenter, gave the Beav ers their tenth scorelet Byan Starts Buns. Ryan started the run getting again in the seventh when he outguessed Thompson, who succeded Arrellanes In the third, and dropped a perfect bunt. Kuhn perlpateticed and Koestner like wise, got his fourth straight hit, scor ing Ryan and putting Kuhn on third. Chad walked and Kuhn came in on Rapps Infield out, after Lindsay popped to Helster at second. Three hits In the sixth saved Sacra mento a shutout Danzig beat out a long roller to Sheehan and scored on Mahoney's double to center. Rapps was playing a little "horse" and dropped Koestners throw on Van , Buren's grounder. Thomas lofted to Chad bourne and Lerchen drove Mahoney across with a single that skated between short and second. Thompson struck out and Peck lassoed Lewis' fly. Lobs 'Em Over. Koestner Just lobbed them over in the ninth and as a result, Neblnger singled to left, followed by Holster's whang to center. Danzig fouled to Sheehan. and Mahoney brought Neblnser home with a biff to oenter. Th crowd oauea ror an end to the affair and to accommodate them, Koestner caused Senators Van Buren and Kerns to hoist puny flies to the outfield. The score: SACRAMENTO. AB. R. II. PO. A. B.

TOMMY BURNS TO1 HELP THE CANUCKS Tommy Burns, former heavyweight champion of the world, has again signed a form to play for the Vancouver La crosse club, and If Vancouver falls to win on September 4 he will be eligible to take part In the extra series. Tommy, who played for Vancouver on Labor day last year, when Vancouver defeated Westminster, Is still a rooter for the Oreenshlrts, and has deposited $2600 to bef that Vancouver will win the Minto cup. and Ryan some time ago that the worst season he ever had in baseball followed a winter he spent on an oil lease in Pennsylvania working hard. His vi tality, instead of being stored up for the long diamond grind In front of him was at low ebb and he reported at training camp with brain and muscle Jadod. The money a player makes by working In the off-season Is not to be compared with the additional strength and energy, Jones thinks, and he has Ryan, Gregg md Rodgers thinking the same way. - V - , The Rogue river mountains are filled with big gnme of all descriptions and the streams are full of fish, so that the trio will not have an idle moment during their stay. Litt wintw ri and Ryan kept in pretty good condition by chopping down trees, making it a point to fell at least ana n Hiv Th. old woodsman with whom they had their camp saw 10 or 15 cords of wood stacked up In front of the cabin, which came in mighty handy during the win ter. Every day that it was too wet go back into the hills in quest of game, the ball tossera shouldered their axes and attacked an Inoffensive tree. Who knows but wielding an axe sharpened up Ryan's batting eye and strengthened up the muscles in his shoulders to such a extent that Ping Bodle's famous home run record Is likely to fall by the wayside. And maybe it gave Gregg a new slant on how to servo up puzzling curves to the hard hitting sluggers in the American league. Rogders expects , that the tramping over ths mountains will strengthen his Injured ankle and put him In condition to resume his sensational career at sec ond base, r-, . til; Ai&.: ..w - vmmiimmi And now we have William H. Rapps, the sterling Initial bagger of Mc Credie's pennant chasing ball team. -Bill Is a two-year-old Beaver, this being his second season as a member of the Port land team. Rapps is a native of "Show Ma," and is playing baseball because of a tip handed out' by a friend of the manager of the Joplln team. Bill's middle name is Ginger. He Is the liveliest ball player on the Port land club this season and is In the game from the announcing of the bat tery until the last man has 'been put out Rapps Is playing the best fielding game of his career, the same brand that caused his trip to the majors some seasons ago, but from which he was forced back to the minors on ac count of an injury. Rapps Is one sure fielder and Is the possessor of about the strongest throwing arm of any in flelder in the league. He shoots the Duck Season Is Expected to Cause Delay in Tourney Plans. The Portland Gun club Is planning to hold a big tournament some time this fall but the date has not yet been set As duck season opens soon a number of the merabens of the club are going hunting and It will be Im possible to hold the tournament till after the duck season Is closed. A number of cups and trophies are up for the winners of the weekly shoot of the club this afternoon and some high scores are expected to be put up. The Hermlston, Or., Gun club held Its FAST LOCAL 1 "J Th Maccabees ball nine, which opens a ' three game series with the Moose nine ( ,thlt afternoon at the , Columbus dub grounds.

Batting Is another tnlng In whloh Rapps has Improved this season and his sticking has annexed many a hard fought game for the locals. He has been stcking in the 800 class all sea son and is playing the greatest game of his life in the hot fight for the gonfalonx. Most of his hits are as timely as If he deliberately waited till some one had reached first base be fore taking his turn at the plate. His drives are generally good for extra bases. Last season Rapps suffered from leg trouble a good deal, but that trouble seems to have left him this season and he Is lots faster on his feet than he was the season before. He stole three bases yesterday, one for a score. Bill was bdrn In Rich Hill, Bates county, Mo., and was his father's best plowboy. He developed his strong arm animal meeting last week and elected officers for the coming year. The club has rented Baker lake this season and will shoot Wednesday and Saturday af ternoons. A resolution was passed by the club to help the state game warden in every way possible toward the pres ervation of game in Umatilla county.. Eastern Oregon fihoot.

One of BUI'S friends watched him play catch with another boy one day and tipped him off to the managor of the Joplln club, where Bill was signed as a catcher. The next season Jay An drews, former Portland third baseman, bought Rapps for the Leavenworth, Kan, team as a first baseman. Next season, which was 1907, Andrews took Rapps with him to the Oklahoma team. It was with this team that Rapps de veloped into one of the finest bagmen in minor league baseball. In the last part of the 1908 season the St Louis club bought Rapps, but turned him back to the Oklahoma team when he broke his ankle. In the fall of the 1909 season he was drafted' by the Kansas City team and finished that season with the Blues. Before Joining the Kansas City team Bill Rapps tipped Manager McCredle October Fair Promises to Be Bigger and Better Than Ever. Medford, Or Aug. 26. Th greatest racing program ever attempted by the Rogue River Valley Fair association Is neing planned by the racing commit tee for the coming fair, which will be held the week of October 8. a great many novelty races ar planned and a number of fast trotting and pacing races will also be held.

Rapps did this by sending a telegram to Mc Credle under another name. McCredie took the tip and watched Tebeau's movements concerning Rapps and when the Kansas. City owner failed to record his purchase, McCredle' put In a draft for him on. the Oklahoma club and was awarded the player by the national com mission. Many of the Portland players think that Rapps Is due for a trial in the major leagues and If there is any show for Bill this neason it Is certain that Manager McCredle will not hold back on him. Rapps has played two seasons of his best ball for McCredle and the tall manager has been patting himself on the back ever since he secured the big German.

Eastern Cricketers t St R M M v -w Portlanders Eagerly Portland cricketers are eagerly look' lng forward to September 6 and 7, the dates or the matches with the Frank ford Cricket club of Philadelphia. This will be a red letter day in the cricket history here, for the visiting eleven will be composed of first class cricketers. including some who have visited Eng land with the Gentlemen of Philadel phia elevens and have played In the highest class of cricket This being tne nrst visit of an eastern cricket team on the Pacific coast naturally a great deal of Interest Is being taken by erloketers and their friends, The visit of the Philadelphlans will help cricket all over the coast and, while It Is generally admitted that the class of cricket Is higher In the east and skilled players a great deal more numerous there than here, it la thought that all the matches played out here will bo keenly contested. Each of the Paclflo coast clubs will endeavor to put their very strongest team in the fiold. for It is creating the greatest rivalry as to which club will make the best display against the vis itors. While the Portland Cricket club Is regarded as a Very, strong one and has always shown Itself as such. It suffers In one respect and that Is lack of outside matches. Being so far away from British Columbia and California. the two orlcket centers on th coast, th players her are greatly handi capped and naturally lack confidence In batting. V" - -:. It Is In the other departments of the gam i that th locals shine, however, having th. best howling staff and as good fielders as any other team. In th Northwest tournament held at Vic "ii.::.i Battle' Worn Eastern Feather weight Can't Stand Rough Pace Set Out by Italian and Shoves Chin Into Punch. . By II. M. Walker. Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 28. When you can't pull -your load up the hill, turn around and coast down grade; That's the simplest If not the gam est way to do business. Patsy Kline, losing heart "before the demonlao rushes and the never-say-dla stand of Frankia Conley, ' deliberately quit In the fourteenth round of his scheduled twenty round battle before the Pacific Athletio club. As the records will stand, Conley will be credited with a clean knockout victory. Frankle did more than stop his man; he developed a streak of yel low in Patsy as broad as the latter s shoulders.' - Clips to Ohla. Conley opened the fourteenth with a left clip on the chin that sent the tired and battle worn Klin reeling back across the, ropes. Crouching In a neu tral corner Kiln stuck his face square ly over a light left uppercut and dropped to th floor for the count of eight He came to his teet in a reluctant manner and after feinting for a moment or so, took a right on th chin and flopped to the floor. In a seml-slrtlng position, with his face resting on his elbows, th arm be ing thrown over his knees, he allowed himself to be counted out ' Patsy came to his feet as Referee Eyton counted ten, and he looked like anything but a man who had suffered a knockout Frankle Conley, as a featherweight is the same durable demon of th ring who, as a bantam, took everything that Mont Attell could give and wor his man to a state of exhaustion in th forty-second round. Knocked to Canvas. Conley was knocked prone to th can vas with a left drive to the Jaw in the first round. He was soundly whipped In the second but managed to fight on even terms In th third and fourth. In all of th earlier rounds Conley was outboxed and in the eighth he was sad ly distressed. Th tide of battl began to turn in the tenth and then Conley, never al lowing Kiln to draw a long breath, fought the Newark boy around the four sides of th ring. It was this pace that told oa Kline and beat; him. Sailing Boats Get Overhauling and Start for Astoria Thursday Afternoon. Next Thursday afternoon the Spar row, Spindrift and Fore an' Aft, accom panied by their crews and several other sailing boats will start for Astoria, where "they will take part in the big regatta. The boats will be towed to the mouth of th Willamette river, where they will be Joined by the Comet, of Vancouver, Wash.
