'I Angeles, Bept. 15. (I. N. S.)
'' Tbo Tigera just stood around, drank
. By lot of water, told stories, and in
cidentally beat the Portland Beavers,
, - Jf to 5. Th two Portland runs scored
-'"In the ninth were gifts. Swede Ria-
. berg- let two chances go through him
In trying to catch the ball on the
back of his neck like a eannon ball
Juggler.. Decatmiere Jogged along
pitching and loafing. For Portland,
V . Houck had enough after the fourth
round and Rip Hagerman finished.
'' After Doane had opened on Houck
with a single in the first Inning and
: a Glilchmann had been passed, Ray
Bate kicked, a. hard single down the
lint base line, scoring the pair.
'-'The Tigers proUably would have let
go at that and made a 2 to 0 game,
but Decannlere kidded the wrong gink
In the second Inning. A single, an
error and a hit batsman filled the
bags. Then Jack Rabbit Williams
whaled a triple to. center, cleaning the
bags. McOredle pulled a "boner" in
.- ending Williams home, for the big
boy was thrown out at the plate the
- ' length of one of his own legs.
In the fourth, Ike Daley sliced the
f'bftll Just Inside the third base bag for
: a double. Mattick turned the same
- kind of a jab along the first base line
:'. for a triple, storing the Yid. A wild
pitch scored Matty.
; The Tigers did not even stop to get
- a hit with their two runs In the sixth.
-Hagerman walked a couple and Roche
Maved one to the fence and a lot mure
of that kind of stuff allowed the run
ners to come home. Singles by Doane
and Ulelchmanr. and one of Ward's
i boots scored a Tirer run in the seventh.
A' walk and RIsberg's two errors

TEMPLETON WINS
TOPNOTCH HONOD
AMONG SHOOTERS
Portand Man Brings Prized
Championship Back
From California,
By George Bertz.
Rapid timing In the face of wind
that at times blew like a young gale
won for Frank Templeton of Portend
the highest honors In western trap
shootlng at the Bverding park traps of
the Portland Gun club yesterday, bring
ing back the prized championship after
an absence of one year in California
at the Los Angeles home of Heinle
Pfirrmann. ,
Shooting from the 20 yard mark
against the best blue rock experts on
the coast. Templeton broke 91 out of
the 100 targets thrown for him. The
local man chipped a few Of the mud
saucers, but most of them were shat
tered to bits.
Prance Carries Off Second Xonora.
W. K. France of Arlington, Or., car
ried away Becond place honors, by reg
istering a score of 90 per cent. Mark
Rickard of Salem, Or., and W. E. Carl
ton tied for third honors and In the
shootoff the Salemlte won.
1914 Winner Za. Fifth.
Pete H. O'Brien, winner of the title
In 1914. tied with C. L. Templeton of
Seattle and A, P.-Haliburton of New
port, Cal., for fifth position. E. D.
Farmin of Sandpolnt, Idaho, was next
In line with the score of 87. and he
was followed by Henry R. Everding.
ex-president of the Portland Gun club,
with the mark of 86.
That the wind played havoc with the
more accurate shooters is shown in the
case of Frank M. Troeh, who won
the national championship of the
United States at the grand American
handicap In St. Louis in August. Troeh
shot well In the overture, which he
won with 93; but fell down to 83 In
the classic handicap. .This goe to
prove that the wind was wrecking
many a potential 97 per cent, for it is
seldom - that the national champion
falls below the 90 per cent class.
O. N. Ford of San Jose beat the
Vancouver star by one point. H.
Lorenson of Newman, Cal., who won
the preliminary handicap Wednesday
with the same score as registered by
Templeton yesterday, dropped down to
the 78 mark.
The scores registered by the winners
at each trap are:

Drops Six on Trap rour.
. Going to the last trap, France was
but four birds down, but the fctraln
proved too much for him and he
dropped six birds. Templeton was six
down up to the last event, and he
dropped three out of his last string
of 25. The strain told on W. E. Car
ion at the last trap, as he dropp.nl four
targets, while Mark Rickard shot like

dropping but one target.
The handicap was followed closely
by the large number of spectators.
Interest was Intense from the time
President Strowger broke the first tar
get until the time Rickard tired the
last shot In the eighteenth squad.
Professionals found the going rather
poor In the handicap, Guy Holohan of
Los Angeles registering the top vcore,
90. Gus Peret of Toncalla was second
with the mark of 86, and F. M. Dryden
of Spokane tied L H. Reid for third

Putting Up Great Fight in
Spite of Evers and Rabbit
Maranville,
By H. C. Hamilton.
New York, Sept. 15. (U. P.) Bat
tling to a finish each day with two ln
flelders, recognized aa the country's
best, out of the game through Injuries
and with a pitching staff shot to
pieces, the-Boston Braves are supplying
the National league and the fans of
the nation with a spectacle seldom
equalled.
George Stallings' tall players, who
on sheer nerve fought their way from
last place to first In the memorial cam
paign of 1914 and who then won a
world's series In four straight games
from the Athletics, never have been
Hked. Their methods are too rough.
They fight with a courage that la un
shakable and their enemies on the
baseball field can be counted by the
dozens.
But Just the same this baseball club
must be credited with making the
gamest fight ever seen In the National
league. Gameness Is a virtue which
every baseball player and manager
must admire and the Braves are get
ting their share of admiration from
the rest of the field.
Are Wot Strong by Avar ages.
The Braves are not a strong aggre
gation, as baseball is figured from bat
ting averages. But they have deter
mination and a strong, forceful leader
to lash them to victory. Their pitching
staff is great and their batting aver
ages are low. Their fielding is won
derful and their base running passable.
Tet, so long as that pitching staff will
hold the opposition in check, the
Braves are the best bet in any ball
game.
The Braves are being- counted out of
the pennant hunt by a great many
critics. But the count may have been
made too soon. Any club with the
courage of the Braves cannot be count-
ed out until the last possible chance
Is gone. And there Is no one who will
deny that the Braves would make bet
ter opponents for the American league
victors than either the Dodgers or the
Phillies.
The Braves' loss yesterday lost them
an opportunity to close in, on second
place, for the Cardinals licked the Phil
lies. However, the St. Louis victory
had its effect on the league standings,
for the Dodgers crushed the Pirates
and stepped Into the lead by a game
and a half.
Tigers Ziose Grand Chance.
In the American league the Tigers
lost the chance of a season to head the
