Maxmeyer ' and Eastley top
V
Much for Mike Lynch in
Moisture.
Thanks to the great pitching of a
reerult an ,a . veteran, Portland ,took
goth tamei of a doubleheader yesterday
afternoon, advancing their percentage
to .829, three points behind the Tacoma
Tig-era. The scores were 7 to 2 and
10 to 3.
v. the . awkwajrd. recruit, Maxmeyer,
pitched the first Kame, and allowed the
Tigers but five hits, and these ho kept
scattered. The ' Tlg-ers scored. In the
sixth and the ninth Innings, but these
were .the only" two Innings where
I,ynchs men had anychanCe to tally.
Bunched hits In the sixth netted ,one
run, vnd Burns' single, MaxmeyeVa
overthrow of firs and ah Infield out
gave the Tigers the second run.
Annls was not in good form. He
Joked with Maxy, as did the other play-ers-.et
the first" of the game, but as
the southpaw c'ollegian settled down In
the sixth and seventh when the Tigers'
had a chanoe to score, they quit their
kidding.
Annls Immediately put himself in a
hole after Speas and Mundorff were
out. Williams and Stovall singled and
Stovall scored when Annis let Siebt's
return throw' get away. '
Annls Is Bumped.
In the second Inning Annls lost com
plete control and walked Mensor. Then
Harris grounded out and Coltrin walked.
Maxy fanned. This gave the Nicks two
on and two down, when "Russian" Mun
dorff rattled the boards in right field
with a slashing double. The path was
so slippery that Mundorff stumbled all
over himself. Speas hit one out of the
reach of Morse, and Mundy went to
third, ' Speas stole second and both
scored on Stovall's hit. Stovall took
second on the throw home and stole
third, but was out stealing home.
In the seventh Mundy was hit by ft
pitched ball and Speas sacrificed.
Mundy scored and Speas made third
when Annls threw the ball to right
field. On -Stovall's line fly Speas made
a beautiful run from third and beat
Burns' .throw . from left field to. the
plate.
This ended the first game and Max
meyer was given a loud cheer when he
went to the clubhouse.
The rain began to fall in the third
inning and It rained so hard in the
fourth frame that Mike Lynch became
peeved and quit the field. Starkell, how-,
ever, refused to call the game, although
Mike begged, him to do so, and Mike
used a sub in center.
A toss of the coin decided the Kick
pitcher In the second game, and Frank
Eastley won froin Tonneson. Franji
was there good and' plenty, and held
the Tigers safe throughout tne game.
Tac. ma scored In the sixth and ninth
innings in this game also. Vogel, the
new second , baseman, made nits first
hit by slamming a-double to center
field, and took third on a wild pitch,
scoring on Abbott's Infield hit Two
lilts netted another run In the ninth
Inning, being helped by a wild pitch.
Soors on Wild Pitch.
The Nicks scored two In the second
on Asher, who made his first appear
ance here on the mound. Williams sin
gled, but was forced by Pettlgrew. Men
tor walked and both advanced on
Moore's out Fisher making a great stop
of his grounder. Bobby Coltrin was the
lifesaver here, and with his liner' be
tween second and first scored both run
ners. Eastley ended the Inning, and
the bell tolled twice. In the sixth in
nlng five runs were scored. Singles by
Ktovall, Williams, Moore, Coltrin, East
ley and Mundorff, a fielder's choice and
a couple of bad errors gave the Nicks
their quintet of tallies. In.Atie eighth
three more runs were scored. Mensor
opened with a double and went to third
on Moore's infield out. Coltrin hit to
Coleman, but Burns dropped the throw
and Eddie scored. Mundorff singled
after Eastley filed out. Coltrin and
Mundy scored when Speas came through
with a triple, and Billy was out trying
to make home by a close shave.
The rain made the ground- mushy In
the second game, and the Nicks proved
to be the best mudders.

: to Ateet . Bombardier Wells,
Briton;
Paris, Sept. 4. Jack Johnson says he
may enter the ring with. Wells 'weigh
ing 211, or 11 pounds more than his
best fighting weight. As a matter of
fact Johnson cannot get down 'to 211
pounds in three weeks. ' This has led
the champion's associates to fear that
he may forfeit the fight with Wells on
the- excuse that he In 111. .
This fear is heightened by the fact
that while Johnson Will get $80,000
win, lose or draw, for his fight with
Wells, he has a contract with Hugh Mc
intosh, the- Australian fight promoter.
for two fights In Australia this winter.
For these Johnson will receive $60,000,
but they will not be fought If Johnson
Is beaten by Wells, or even If the Eng
lishman Is. on his feet at the end of
20 pounds. So the negro, taking no
chances of losing; the larger purse, may
abandon his fight with Wells.
Johnson and his wife have a suite of
seven persons Including his white valet
and his wife's maid. He has a magnifi
cent, apartment with "bawth" at tho
Grand hotel. It is a fact that since
Johnson has been in England he says
'bawth."
Johnson Is mora Interested In Mont
Martre and Its all night restaurants
than In training for a fight.
