THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1919. An Even Break In Double Header as the Best Portland Could Do Against Angels 13 Sunday W OLDHAM WINS ONE AFFMR, 3-1; OTHER DROPPED BY SUDS a Innings; Beaver Hurlers Put Two Contests Fought Into Extr on1 Contrasting Performances j Sutherland Is Downed in Tenth of First Game, 7-6. f OS ANGELES, Aug. 4. After every season in the Pacific I j Coast league members of the Hot Stove circuit get together "during the winter and talk about the "famous" days just . passed. Sunday will be one of those days, not because Los An-f-geles managed to break even against the Beavers, but because the contests were won in such funny fashion. Before proceeding it -' might be well to say that the Angels copped the morning fracas 7 to G in 10 innings, and the afternoon affair went to the Fortland ers. 3 to 1 in 11 stanzas. ' There is no question but what Manager McCredie and his boys t II 1 t 1 .1 . suouiu nave iaicen Dom engagements, iui uiy uiuumi u icam could have under the same circumstances. To look at the 7 to G score it would seem that at the end of the regulation nine innings the count stood 6 to 6 and that the Angels added the extra counter .in their last half of the tenth. When the final half of the tenth rolled around the Beavers were run " nlng smoothly with a three run lead and It looked as though the Cherubs , were golnfe out -In one-two-three order. Two were out before a Los Angeles man managed to get home and when he did arrive at the. coveted corner three more of his , teammates t-ollowed. Kenneth Pen ' ner started to. do the twirlinK for the ' Oregoniana but he was taken out for a pinch hitter in the first of the . tenth. "Suds" Sutherland of no-hit no-run fame who in his starts here has produced anytinlng but that calibre of ball paced the league leaders for one half an Inning but is was enough for him to be charged with the de feat "Old Doc" Crandall weathered the entire contest and as a result it was a sweeter victory. In the first canto the Beavers fell on the former . big leaguer for three runs but they were tied up In "the sixth when the - same number of Callfornians regis tered. From then on It was nip and tuck untjl that fatal spasm. Los Angeles made four runs off five hits while it . took a quartet of safe bingles to produce the Beavers' three counters. In the afternoon engagement it was "Red" Oldham's all the way but he had a narrow escape at times. . He can thank none other than that fleetfooted outfielder Billy Speas - for a large, part of the victory. Speas in his playing here this week has been a revelation. He has been In the game all the time and opposing twirlers have had a batUe on their ; hands every time he came to bat. , He belted out three hits In four trips to the plate against Curly Brown in the afternoon. Five hits were all that Killefer's gang could muster off the delivery of Oldham and they came In the fourth, fifth and sixth Innings. In the eleventh the Beavers stepped out and broke the one to one tie when , Speas reached . first on an error and " scored when Lew Blue hit a fast one to deep center for a home run. Speas doubled in trie first Inning, went to TEAM STANDINGS PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE Won Lost 6S 47 ee ss 61 47 . ....

The big French Canadian played a remarkable game and took everything that came his way. Nineteen BeaverB were put out by him in the 3 to 1 affair, while 17 were forced to retire In the morn ing clash through his efforts. The Beavers left immediately after the games -for the north where they open a six-game series against the tail-end Seattle club on the Sound City's diamond. Kingston, the re cruit signed by McCredie, went in as a pinch hitter Sunday and produced the goods by walking. He scored later. Morning game : POlfTLAND Wteterxil.

FTTWO mighty good games of baseball A were played Sunday on the Vaughn street grounds fn the preliminary doubleheader for the 1919 city cham pionship. The first affair went to Wayne Francis Lewis' Standifer Ship builders by a 3 to 1 score, while the McDougal-Overmire aggregation copped tlieJ second fracas from the Columbia park contingent,-5 to 1. Jocko Krause opposed "Bicky Wil liams" In the first engagement, and it was a pitchers' battle from the start to finish. Standifer getting six hits off Williams and the losers nicking Krause for three safeties. Standifer scored first in the second inning, and in the fifth Marty McXichols started the fireworks by dropping a fly ball in left field. Two runs counted soon after. The Hesse-Martin delegation made its only score in the sixth on Thompson's hit. Krause struck out 1 and Williams 4. Gus Fisher made his debut before semi-pro fatis of Portland In the first frame of the second game and his sin gle started the scoring. McDougal-Overmire put across two more runs In an other frame- Frank Koontz pitched good ball for Columbia Park, but his support weakened at critical stages and when runners were on bases there was no one oa hand to punch out a hit against Herman Pillett, except for one frame. Next Sunday Standifer and the Mc Dougal - Overmlre representatives will play for the city championship on Vaughn street grounds, t and former big leaguers will form the batteries. Pillett and Ous Fisher will battle for McDougal-Overmire, while Lewis will depend on Jocko Krause and Bob Marshall to keep the hits scattered. Charles Moore, Standifer's second baseman, was forced to retire In the third inning when he was Ait by a foul tip from his own bat. The ball struck him in the jawbone, loosened several teeth, and It was not known whether or not the bone was fractured. He was removed to his home In a taxicab by Manager Lewis. The box score for the first game fol lows : LIFE OF AN UMPIRE ENJOYED Pop Bottles, Cushions and Abuse Fired at Umpires Only Tends to Make Life Worth Living. NEW YORK, Aug. 4. The umpire may be a most unhappy man at times. One wouldn't have to be an umpire to be made unhappy by a shower of pop bottles or verbal abuse. But such is the umpire's happy lot, not because he deserves it, but because fans and players are temperamental. It's all in the game.' The ump goes along, taking things as they come, and he gets a lot of enjoy ment out of the pastime. He is the one man who has the right to be on top of every thrilling play. He gets the first "peek" and has the last say. He Also enjoys the funny side of base ball, and though a tight- game may mean harder work for him, he gets the most out of it. FTJJfNY EXPERIENCES TOLB Bill Dineen and Borne of his brother umpires' like to tell of funny expe riences at times. And Bill and his fel lows are full of experience. Dineen recently told of an experience In St. Louis some years ago. Said Bill : "Out in St. Louis several years .ago the umpire refused to allow a doubtful catch made of a tricky fly ball hit to right fiejd. It was one of those scoop catches and it appeared that the fielder had picked up the ball on the first hop rather than catching it off his shoe strings. The stands set up a holler when the umpire's decision was made and then yelled louder than ever when two fans jumped Into the playing field and started for the diamond to see about it. It developed that the two fans were 'corned up.' and they were turned back finally before reaching the diamond, but they carme close to dis rupting an otherwise good ball game. TOUGH GAMES REMEMBERED "The hardest game I ever worked? Well, as I remember It, the Athletics and Washington were playing. Mack's boys had the pennant won. but Walter Johron was pitching against them and working his head off. At 4 :30 It began to get dark. I guess they had played about four innings, and Johnson was surely putting something on the ball. He would wind up and cut loose so fast that you couldn't see the pill. After several pitched balls had shot by both the batter and catcher without either of them seeing the ball, I decided it was time to trek for the clubhouse. It was too dark to play ball, and I called the game on account of darkness at 4 :30. I sure put In some miserable moments that day, for the sun came out again a short time later. "One of the greatest plays I ever saw probably would not appeal to many as being great. It happened In Boston, with the Athletics playing there. I was playing with the Red Sox and we were fighting for the lead. The game had gone to the ninth inning and we were one run, to the good with a man on first and thifd and one out for the op posing team. Jimmy Collins was play ing third. The next batter hit sharply over third, but Collins was playing just back of the bag and made a wonderful one-handed play, threw the ball to sec ond and it was relayed to first in time to make a double play, putting the Ath letics out and ending the game. Col lins was a wonderful judge at timing base runners. The natural play foe him would have been to try to cut the runner down at the plate, as he was In position to throw there. It happened, however, that the other two' base run ners were rather slow and. Jimmy used his noodle.; Hector in Main Event SEATTLE, Aug. 4. U. P.

K . . t Great Battle Expected Sept. 1 By Jack Vfjock, International News Sports Editor New York, Aug. 4. Among the many good ring battles that will take place, on Labor Day is one that holds forth promise of action from start to finish. Minneapolis will be the scene of this swatfest, and Mike O'Dowd, middle weight champion of the world,' will defend his title against Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul phantom, who has long claimed the middleweight title. O'Dowd 'won his title by knocking the pudgy Al McCoy kicking In a Brooklyn ring, thereby demonstrating that - he packs a punch. Since winning the title O'Dowd has become a greatly improved fighter. His experience In the army did him a world of good, and since he has starts! defending his title of late he has exhibited a punch that brings home the kopeks, for Al McCoy has been his vic tim for a second time, and other middle weights of lesser fame have felt "the canvas beneath their shoulders ater swapping punches with the champion. MIKE SOME BATTLER Though Gibbons has never been offi cially recognized as the king of the middlewelghts, there are any number of fistic fans and critics from one end of the country to the other who have been willing to concede that smiling Michael carried the class necessary to a title holder. No craftier man than Mike Gibbons 'Youth Will Be Served, 'But- ? t ? t . K K K Many Exceptions Are Noted By H. C. Hamilton New York, Aug. 4. It was clearly demonstrated a short time ago iii a- ring at Toledo. Ohio, that "youth must be served," but let's see if it really must. Athletics, as a rule, in every line of effort, are about the same, so far as supremacy of youth or age is concerned. We find ball players passing out of the limelight at an age that strikes a fairly good average at 30 years; fighters drop hard after they have gone by that mark ; runners, pole vaulters, football players practically all who strive to amuse the public by athletic prowess, wither away as age creeps on them. But there are exceptions to the rule. There ' are the Giants, for Instance. Aged, decrepit, they have been called, yet the men led by John J. McGraw have set the pace for the National league practically all the season. There isn't a regular infielder on the club under 80. The pitching staff is com posed of veterans for the most part. George Burns and Benny Kauff have far too many years over thier heads to be placed in the chickers class. The young sters of the club are the chaps who are holding down bench positions, rather than the aged ones. FORESTS ARE NOTED FOR SPORTS Swinging the Peavy Said to Be More Beneficial to Boxers Than Throwing Mitts. W ASHINGTON, D. C Aug. 4. It may be sport to swing the stinging mitt. But It la a long wait betwee.rf - big matches. And competition takes a lot of fun out of it for the man who de pends on the sporting ring for his regular three meals per day and extras. Sports are great for the top-riotchers,- but they Just miss for the , 9999 others. But tip in the lumbering forests of the North Woods, where the snow falls white and deep In the winter, there is sport that lasts all the year around. Sport that never lacks excitement It fills the veins with fighting red . blood, and gives the true sport the life he has wished for the 10 per cent active out-, door life. He can wield a lusty ax In the nipping cold days, drag a chain, dodge falling giant trees. And in the summer he tan engage in the great peril ous sport of the lumbering regions; he can float the trees down stream. Poised on rolling logs, be swings a peavy and shouts in the freedom of the outdoor life. ; ' - PLENTY OF JOBS The lumber regions, north,' south, east and west, - want men, big. strong . men only, men of adventuresome pioneer spir it. .And in particular they want ex-soldiers. For soldiers have learned how to use their minds quickly, how to han- NEWPORT IS NOW SCENE OF TENNIS Casino -Courts Have Notables Froni All Parts of Country; Australians Due Today. NEW YORK Aug. 4. XV. P,) Actual tuning up for the national tennis championships at Forest Hills late this month began here today with the start of . the annual Newport invitation tournament on the historic Casino j courts. J Notables from all sections of the American tennis world were to compete. but most interest surrounded the prob able doings of the quartet of Austra lian Norman E.- Brooks. Gerald Pat terson, R. W Thomas and Randolph Lycett who were expected to land at New York today.- These players were to proceed at once to Newport, but of course their entries would be made later In the tournament. Arrangements have been made, however, to continue them tnrough the matches. They drew byes in the drawing. Among the prominent Americans who will take part are R. Norrls Williams, Maurice F. McLoughlin and . William M. Johnston, all former national cham pions, and William T. Tllden, II., Nat haniel W. Niles, Vincent Richards and I. Kumagae. has ever drawn on the mittens in the middleweight division. There have been more rugged battlers such as Ketchel and Papke but for all-around ability, science and ring generalship, Mike Gib bons has been in a class by his lonesome for many years. . . Now, however. Mike O'Dowd, hU right to the title undisputed by public opinion and his ability as a fighter and boxer growing better as he goes along, should make a wonderful attraction, with Gib bons as his opponent, even though Gib bons is getting along toward that age where .many a fighter hangs up the gloves and calls It quits. O'DOWD WANTS CHANCE O'Dowd used to be one of Gibbon's sparring partners. He was a, novlca when Gibbons was In his prime, and he learned most of the fine points he knows about the game from the genial Michael himself. Gibbons had many offers from local promoters around St. Paul and Minneapolis to meet O'Dowd before he became champion, but Mike turned them down. He felt he could beat his fellow townsman In those days, and he .looked on O'Dowd as sort of a protege. Now that O'Dowd has the title it's different. Gibbons will train hard for the battle, and it . goes without saying that he hopes to win. It Is a little early yet to attempt anything savoring of a-prediction on the outcome, but we'll venture that the Glbbons-O'Dowd shindig will be some sere p. This club, it has been promised by many an expert, will crack in the dog days. v But will it? It certainly is trav eling at a fine clip now and shows small signs of cracking. Then we have Dick Remer. If you ever saw Dick Remer do a walking race you have missed a great sight. Dick has been winning walks for so long he can do It' with his eyes shut and lead in his shoes. There isn't a man in the nation who can approach his form and speed when he is right. George (Mould ing is the.- only man on the track he has any respect for, andf Gouldlng has been making walking records for a good many years himself. And then there is Jack Britton, who was defeated for the welterweight cham pionship by Ted Lewis, only to come back and knock out Lewis. Britton is past 36 and is- a better battler now than at any time In his career. Pop Geers, who is so old he has quit counting. Is still driving winning races on Grand Circuit tracks. . Youth will be served, of course. In most ventures, but age also has its fling In many cases, and don't forget it. die their muscles and how to bear up un der excitement. Colonel Arthur Woods, special assist ant to the secretary of war, Is trying to find Jobs for all ex-service men through his many re-employment agen cies. He advocates the lumbering camp. He does not advocate it-as a sport. He speaks, of it as a good, steady job, with good steady pay. But it is fun. And it is muscle building. And It beats any commercial sport of big cities hollow.

TV'EW YORK, Aug. . 4. Can any men--LV ber point out a ma"n Who has done more good for the boxing game than Johnny Kilbane, the king of the feath erweights? .1 'Just glance over the long and meritor- " iousj record Kilbane will leave behind him When he kicks off the crown' he won from Abe Attell. It was seven years ago that Kilbane lured, Abe Attell Into a-Callfornla ring and gave him a fine drubbing that de prived Abe of the featherweight cham pionship. Since that time there hasjiot been a championship possibility Kilbane has declined to meet. Joe Rivers was his most formidable opponent, and Kil bane battled him to a draw. Rivers couldn't defeat the Irishman and knew it. Kilbane met George Chaney of Baltimore In a bout scheduled as a championship affair and Kilbane knocked him out. KILBANE TOO GOOD - There Is a long list of creditable scrappers at the featherweight limit," but Kilbane simply, was too good for any one In his- class. He met and defeated Fred Welsh while the latter was world's lightweight cham pion. Many persons at ringside thought he allowed Welsh to stay the 10-round limit, v Shortly afterward Benny Leon ard knocked out Weleh and won the title and Kilbane in an Ul-advlsed mo ment," agreed to meet Leonard In a six round bout at Philadelphia, which. ended with Kilbane practically knocked out. There was no discredit attached to the game feather champion for' this bout. He simply went out of his class. Since . that time he has done little fighting, but Is laying plans for a return to the game. FRENCHMAN 31 AY BATTLE Benny Valgar, the little Frenchman who has" been whipping featherweights all over the country with almost the same monotony of Kilbane, has been se lected as the champion's opponent, lie Is young, fast, and a very hard hitter. Kilbane is aging. He is 30 years old and has been champion a long time. There is a good chance that the cham pionship will change hands, even with the crafty Kilbane defending it as only he knows how. But the country never will forget the wonder-fists - of Kilbane long after he has passed out of the ranks of cham pions. . i. ' American League to Hold Session Today Over Mays Affair New York, Aug., 4. (U. P.) Ban Johnson, president of the American league, faced today what probably will be the hardest fight he ever encountered-in his long reign as dictator and secretary of war of the younger major baseball organization. Colonel Jacob Rupnert and Lieuten ant Colonel T. L; t Huston, owners of the New York Yankees, threatened to go Into court at once with the decision of Johnson which keeps Carl Mays from pitching and' have the "czar" enjoined from tampering with the star pitcher recently purchased from Boston. Mays Is now under suspension for Jumping the Boston club after he had been fined for throwing) a ball at a spectator In Chicago. The two local owners met Johnson last night and, after a short conference, said Johnson had declared five other clubs protested the sale, of Mays and that, therefore, he could do nothing but hand out the suspension. They said he had called a Meeting of the American league for this city for tomorrow, which they had declined to attend because, they would be greatly outnumbered. If a court action Is granted to re strain Johnson from keeping Mays Idle, the. owners said, Mays will work here tomorrow against the St. Louis Browns. Kainier Walloped By Astoria Team Rainier.
