j; Manager McCredie played a new
j 'trick on the Vernon Tigers yesterday
but ' It didn't go. He shoved Bates
; over to first and put Bobby Davis
on third," but still the Portland -outf it
couldn't win. Lefty ' Decanniere
" mowed them down like so much chaff.
and when the left handed party was
j in trouble, why, his mates would
: press the button and out would pop
;a double play.
- The 'three Vernon runs were made
In" one "Inning and If Coveleskie -Jiadn't
- butted Into a play being pulled off
between Hillyard and Carisch. only
one rim would have been made by
. i the' southerners. .However, Coveleskie
i might have contented himself with
. messing up a dozen such plays for
all the good it would have done
hfm. The only time the locals could
J)it Decanniere was In the third,
fourth and fifth, when they amassed
" their total of six wallops.
McCredie sent. Derrick In to bat
for Coveleslcie In the ninth. .but Fred
was a failure and Rube Evans pitched
, The last . Inning, allowing one bit to
Decanniere and three archouts. '
y' With one out in the fourth, Wilholt
.'hit a scorcher through shortstop,
Purtell followed with a drive to the
I same place. Gleichmann lofted to
f Hlllyard and then Berger busted one
?to center. The innocent little pellet
became lost In the maze of Hillyard's
TIg feei .and Wilhoit cut loose for
'the plate. Purtell began a. chase of
"Wilhoit and Hillyard started? to throw
him out. -The ball would have bounced
'perfectly into Carisch's waiting paws,
,but Coveleskie leaped Into the air,
and deflected jthe bulb yet further
Into the circumambient ether. It was
slowed up too much and although it
-dropped into Carisch's hands the
,slis:ht delay allowed Purtell to score.
Berger, while this was -going, on.
galloped around to third, and it was
an easy matter for him to score when
; the sylphlike T. Spencer soused the
agate against the right field wall.
Tubby never got farther than first
for Coveleskie put some swift on
ball and fanned Decanniere.
': Purtell cut Hillyard off at the
plate In the third Inninar by a perfect
. peg to Spencer with two on and one
out and Hammond failod to deliver
'.In the pinch. In the fourth Stumpf
lined Into a double play and in the
fifth Coveleskie did the same thing.
After that oply one. man., Stumpf .on
a walk in the seventh, reached first.

f Golf Rating of Four
Harry K. B. Davis, California cham
pion, has Just been notified by the
'.United States Golf association that he
has been given. a rating- of four in the
V. B. Q. A. listing, and is eligible to
1compete in the national championship
- ,to be held in September at Ietroit.
'He will be unable to attend the meet
ilng, as the tournament conflicts with
the state championship, at Del Monte,
California. .
- When Davis' name was left off the
"national rating list, considerable sur-v-
j prise was expressed on the part of
f western golfers, inasmuch as he had
lust won ,the Panama-Pacific amateur
;.. -.championship, and had finished ' well
V v.up In the open event, which wis won
by Walter C. Hagen. It was thought
that his name had been left off the
;Ust by oversight.

SINGLES AMONG
FOUR BIG STARS
AT SEATTLE NET
Joe Tyler Tackles Julton To
day; Mrs. Northrup Loses
in Singles,
Seattle, Aug. 12. (P. N. S.) Un
less fate steps in and spoils the dope
four men, who are already being re
ferred to as the "big four," will fight
It out for final honors in the mens'
singles . events in the Washington
state championship tennis tournament
in progress on tiie Blakiston courts.
Joe Tyler of Spokane, the northwest
champion: Van Dyke Johns, of Cali
fornia, state champion, and Sam Rus
sell and Hugh Kelleher of Seattle, are
the four who, unless all indications
fail, . will settle between themselves
the tate championship argument.
Playing steady and sometimes bril
liant tennis these four have gone
through the first three days of the
tournament without encountering any
very formidable opposition. Although
play In the tournament is becoming
faster as weaker players are elim
inated no contender of sufficient
strength to wrest honors from either
of these four has appeared.
Tyler will meet the stiffest opposi
tion of the tournament thus far today
when he tackles R. Fulton of Seattle.
Tyler Is expected to win but Fulton
has been putting up a game which in
dicates that the no.rthwest champion
will have his hands full. Johns will
play C. Shannon today while Uussell
will meet W. S. Taylor and Kelleher
will play Van Kuran.
In yesterday's play Johns was
given a rub by Ido, a West. Seattle
high school player, but won without
difficulty. Kelleher beat Laizure, the
veteran Seattle player; Tyler beat C.
M.' Brown, the Portland Junior, and
Russell eliminated Muira, a Japanese
entry. Kelleher and Tyler beat Le
Blond and Le Blond in doubles and
Fulton and Russell beat Canfield and
Laizure.
Mrs. Northup, the Portland entry
who has been playing fine tennis, was
eliminated by Miss Mayme McDon
ald, of the University of Washington.
Indications are that the womens' title
will be settled by matches between
Miss Sarah ; Livingstone, the present
holder, Miss McDonald and Miss A.
Green.

Reds Would Send
Eodgers to Vernon
According to a story from Los An
geles printed In last night's Journal
Green sheet. Bill Rodgers may be
turned oveV definitely this week to
the Vernon club of the Coast league.
The Vernon club - would like to get
Rodgers, but neither Boston nor Cin
cinnati has ever paid the MQCredies
the price demanded for the former star
second baseman.
Eddie Maier, owner of the Vernon
club, received a telegram from"Garry
Hermann of Cincinnati yesterday, say
ing the turning over of Rodgers would
be decided this week. McCredie claims
that Cincinnati has never paid him the
$1250 that the Boston Red Sox con
tracted to pay for Rodgers, which obli
gation was assumed by Cincinnati. Mc
Credie therefore will have something
to say about the matter before any
transfer is made. Rodgers may not
want to come back to Portland and
McCredie and White have nothing to
give out as yet.
Christy Mathewson
36 Years Old Today
u ' 1
New York, Aug. 12. Christy Math
ewson is 36 today. Frequently he
celebrated his anniversary with a base
ball victory; what he'll do today re
mains to be seen.
Only once has the . old master con
sorted with Dame Defeat on his birth
day. This happened in 1912, and then
Christy, acting in a relief capacity for
a bombarded boxman, could not subdue
the Cardinals, -and they procured the
winning run off him. Last year
"Matty" pitched part of a game on his
birthday against the Superbas nd held1
safe a two run lead bequeathed him
by Arthur Fromme.
On August 12, 1911, it was fortunate
for "Big Six" that he was not asked
to work, as the Giants failed to get a
run off "Dut" Chalmers of the Phil
lies. Christy had an afternoon off on
August 12, 1910, but on August 12
1909, he shut the Cubs out with four
safeties, and on August 12, 1907, he
conquered the Pirates and pitched the
Giants ihtp second place.
