Ban Francisco, Cal., Sept. 13. Playing
with the aggressiveness and spirit char

the league leading Beavers to defeat
again this afternoon by a score of (

with two games on the schedule for to

One splendid little walloping was this
that the Beavers took today. Boss Me

for all that has occurred. Ty Lober Is
out of the game. So is Bill Speas. So
Is BUI Lindsay. And these three have
done much In putting the Portlanders
up at the top of the heap, and In keep
In; them there.
But even with his substitutes, the big
boss of the Beavers lias a ball club
worth considering. With his whole club
intact It Is doubtful If he would have
had any better success against the
Seals, for Just at present Del Howard'?
boys are in one of their peculiar spurts
when they are practically unbeatable.
They won today by opportune hitting
and by the right kind of hase running,
with Jimmy Johnston, king of the base
thieves, leading In the general charge
around the sacks. Jimmy did some
hitting too, and so did Willie Hogan,
who gathered three clouts out of four
times up and consequently did his share
toward , sending Jim John around the
circuit.
History Bepeati Itself,
R'ST X'n Hagerman was sent to the
Peal taming Job by McCredie for the
start off. History repeats Itself. Big
Zip started on Tuesday morning and
was driven off the slab, with Lefty
Stanley taking his place.
Hagerman was driven off again to
day, and Hgaln was Stanley called on
for relief work. Stanley's work was an
Improvement over his mastodonlc prede
cessors, but he did not stop the run
getting.
The Seals opened up on Mr. Hager
man in the second Inning, when Wllllo
Mogun sent a difficult roller down t
Bill Rodgers and Bill could not get
his hands on It properly. Jeremiah
Downs sacrificed, putting Hogan on
second. sCorhan drew a walk, and then
came Cartwrlght with one of those time
ly hits that were a sort of habit with
Mm early In the season. He smashed
the ball against the right field fence
and Hogan scored the first run. Carty
went to second when an attempted dou
ble steal resulted in Corhan's being
tossed out at third. Clark "walked but
Fanning struck out.
Portland promptly there ended mat
ters. McCormick and Gus Fisher singled
but Skeeter Fanning took considerable
time to study over the situation ana
hts pitching at this point was alto
gether too' much for the gents from
the north. Hagerman struck out. Chad
bourne was out on an Infield fly. But
Derrick almost delivered In the plncr.,
hitting a single Into center field, whoro
It bounced Into Jimmy Johnston s
hands. McCormick attempted to scorti
from second base, but was out at the
plate on a perfect throw rrom Johnston
Hagerman walked Mundorff and Mc
Ardle In the third, yjonnston tried to
bunt, but the ball took a bound out of
McCorblck's reach and went for a hit.
The bases were full. Whereupon came
Willie Hogan with a well placed sap
acrqss second base, scoring Mundy and
Honus.
This was Hagerman's finish. He fad
ed swiftly from the landscape and the
extremely left handed Mr. Stanley was
called Into service.
He got out of the inmng without fu--thor
damage. Portland's lone run came
in the fifth, and again Mike McCormick
started the trouble, hitting safely to
left field. Fisher forced Mike at sec
ond, Corhan making a swift but inef
fectual try for a double on Gustavus.
McArdle was guilty of a genuine bone
head trick, for without waiting for any
move on the part of the runner .ia
tftrned and whipped the ball to the plaij
just one of those usual tosses cus
toniary with the inflelders. He sup
posed Nig Clarke would be on the Job,
but Nig had boon over backing up first J

ball left McArdle'r hand and wafted its
way into vacancy. McArdle wns In
pursuit of It by the time It was really
started, but Fisher got to second Just
the same.
Scors Mads 3 to 1.
Stanley singled to left. Fisher go
ing to third. Chadbourne shot a swift
grounder to Cartwrlght, who made a
vigorous but ineffectual try for It, and
Fisher scored. This put the count at
3 to 1, which was tut cnoftgh to suit

toward the end of the game. It was
the first time this week that Vancouver
edged into tin winning column and the
one of the few times this season that
Cadreau lias been able to go fhe route
with the Gallopers.
Vancouver started right off the reel
to win the game. Blinker dropped a
two base hit in center field and Ben
nett walked. Kipper beat out a slow
roller to Bancroft, filling the bases.
MrMurdo mauled ono to center and the
B-B kids crossed the plate. Carson
uncorked a wild pitch and the runners
advanced a base. Frisk beat out a bunt,
again rilling the bases, whereupon
Scharney lifted a long fly to Mahoney
and Ki'iper beat the throw home. Heister
routed one Into left and when the ball
hopped over Mahoney's conk, the bases
were cleaned. Konnlck jtnd Cadreau
were Infield outs and the inning ended.
Portland made quite a noise in its
half. With one out, Mohler singled to
right and Guignl was safe on Ben
nett's foozle. Melchlor two-bagged to
center and Mohler scored. Hcilmann
acej one past first and Guignl scored.
Mahoney followed with a long arch to
Brlnker. and that worthy doubled
Melrhlor out at the plate.
Scharnwcber's double with one out in
the third and Konnick's single to cen-
er. gave the Vans another In the third.
The Mcks halved the score in the
fifth, when Murray ambled; Eastley,
who succeeded Carson In the fourth,
sacrificed and Dan went to third on
Bancroft's out, whence he scored on a
wild pitch.

With two out Heilmann singled past

to the center field wall. Bobby Coltrin
beat out a hit to Scharnwcber and things
looked promising when Patrick Mays
was called to pinch for Murray. Pat
raised a fly to Brlnker. Eustley and
Mohler sandwiched walks between outs
in the ninth, but Guignl couldn't de
liver the needed blow.
This afternoon the Northwestern
league will close the season with a
double header starting at 1 o'clock in
order to give the two clubs a chance

HILL ACADEMY MAY

Action May Be Taken Unless
Enough Good Material Is on

SPEAKER

JACKSON
Unless there is enough good material
on hand from which to select a strong
team, the Hill Military Academy may
drop out of the Interscholastlc League
this season. This was summarized from
a short talk with Joseph Hill, principal
of the institution.
The Academy had an exceedingly good
lot of material last season, but injuries
and accidents prevented the team from
making a better showing than It did.
No one has been selected as coach
In place of Carl Wolff, who resigned to
accept a position on the coaching staff
of the Oregon Agricultural College.
An instructor formerly connected with
the University of Indiana has been add
ed to the Hill faculty and it Is said that
he may be coach of the eleven. Six
other applications have been received,
but none of them will be considered un
til Joseph Hill and his new faculty
member goes over the matter.
If the Academy eleven drops from the
league the season will not open until
October 10, Portland Academy and Co
lumbia being the opposing teams.
To date only two members of the
Hill, team of last season have returned
and the prospects for a team do not
look very promising.

The Portland Motor Boat Club will
hold a cruise to Vancouver, Wash., to
day, leaving the club float at 9::t0

The fate of the Northwestern league
In Portland hinges on the protest
against the playing of Bobby Liavis in
the eighth Inning of Friday's game, In
which he stunted a rally that eventually
returned Portland a victor In the luta
Inning.
If the protest of Manager Brown of
Vancouver is upheld by the powers that
be and the game is thrown out 'of
the records it will sound the death
knell of Northwestern league baseball
here, according to a statement Is3ued
yesterday afternoon by Judge V,'. W.
McCredie, owner of the franchises in
both the Northwestern and Pacific
Coast leagues. Judge McCredie's fight
ing spirit has been aroused and unless
Manager Brown recedes from his pro
test it will prove costly to the Class B
league.
Bow Is Over Davis.
Davis is a young infielder who was
purchased In June from the Walla Walla
club of the Western Tri-State league
and that club asked that he be permitted
to play in the Class B league until
the end of the season.
Ho Joined Portland Friday and was
sent to bat in a pinch in the eighth
Inning. Brown immediately entered a
protest and Davis delivered a two base
hit that scored a runner and put new
fight into the Colts, who tied the score
In the ninth and won out In the 12th.
Brown based his protest on the rule
which prohibits the t;ale gr release Of a
player by a minor league club to a ma
jor or minor league club within 20 days
of the commencement of or during the
drafting period or within 20 days of
the close of the season of the club dis
posing of the player.
MeCi;8die Bought Player.
"Portland purchased Bobby Davis
from Walla Walla last June for $500.
"He la the property of this club, and
eligible to play with the Colts. If
Brown's protest Is sustained I will
wash my hands of the Northwestern
league.
