Rally Fails
To Win for
Beaver Nine
By Geerr Berts " .
ALTHOUGH the Beaver rallied In
the eighth Inning: and put. across
three run, ther lacked the punch to
.beat Ota Crandall out of Wednesday's
contest, the Angela winning 5 to J.
Crandall haa been a jinx to the Bea
ver "all season, but It looked as though
the Mackmen , Would lead his goat into
the clubhouse when tha locals : were
starting their offensive. Up to the
' eighth. Portland bad made but four
hits off Crandall. ,
GLAZIER FIRST HURLER
"Goof Glacier started on the mound
; for the Beavers, but lost heart when
l Klbby" Spranger booted an i easy
' chance with ) a made-to-order double
play In sight.1 Glacier was touched up
for one run In the second, and when
. the Angels scored again In the third
McCredle pulled him. and Ross finished
th,e game.- The portsider Was touched
' up for two runs In the seven Inning.
KHleferVt walk, a force-out Spran
ger's boot and Crawford's single gave
- the Angela a starter In tha first. Mc
Aulev's double, and singles by Ellis and
O. Crandall, In tha second, resulted In
the only earned run the Angels got off
Glacier. Singles by Basel er and Mc
Auley and Wistercil's lew ; throw to
Blue in the third gave the Angels their
third tally. ., '
Ross held the Angels scoreless for
three frames, when . McDonald singled
and went to third on Crawford's double.
Zeider scored and Crawford reached
third on a wild pitch. Crawford was
caught between third and home on Bass
ler's tap to Spranger, Bassler reaching
- second ton tha play ' and scoring on K.
. CrandalVs double to left field.
BEATERS HATE BALLT i , .
Ross' single In the eighth started the
: Portland rally. I Slgtln hit i a , choppy
grounder to K. ! Crandall and when It
bounced over? his head Ross reached
third.' .Wlstersil walked, filling the
bases, apd Malsel crashed a single be
tween left and 1 center, sending Ross
and SIgHn v over i the plate.' Blue went
out on' a grounder. Wistersll - scoring.
Schaller filed to EUts and Malsel was
: held at third.: Cox was unable to con
nect in the pinch.
The Beavers-tried hard in the ninth,
but could not put Koehler, who had
, singled beyond first base, over, although
Tobln was sent to bat for Spranger.
Tobln hit a long fly to left center, but
jl Killefer got under It.- ;
A number of sparkling catches fea-

to throw a game Is entirely untrue.
"The charges are a frame-up and are
so ridiculous that they would not be
worthy of consideration if it were not
for the fact that my reputation Is at
stake," said Borton. :
'I am going to work out every day
and I know that , I will be reinstated
very soon." ;

"Pitching Is clean and youngsters are

discussing the rules. "We have had a

Walldng V of Ruth Is Criticised
By Bab Bstt
(Copyright, 1320, by United News) '
CHICAOO, Aug. 5. Tha White) Sox
officials tell me that the Yanks and
Sox have played to 12S.0OO fans in the
series with Chicago. : iy -: j ;..
t That breaks the attendance records
here. . , - ,
It proves that the fans like' action.
They know that the Tanks ara a good
hitting club. Th want to see the Old!
ball sail over the fence. A tight pitch-!
ing battle doesn't make as much of a
hit with' the fans as a fre hitting gams.)
When 30,000 fans come out to a Tuea--
day game it means 'that they want to
see players who can hit the ball. : j
LIKE HEAVY HITTIKO n i
That is why I want to tell ' wht I
think of the game. It is hard for me to
write about myself because I' wouldn't
want any fan to think that X have a
stretched hatband.
; The fans want to see the heavy hit
ters on the Yanks slug the ball, as I
have : said. I happen -to have more
home runs than any other player on our
club. That isn't the point.. It wouldn't
make any difference if it was someone
else. -;t.;;i j -:
'The point I want to make is that those
30,000 fans didn't come out today to
see Red Faber walk me three times, I'm
not criticising Faber.' He's a good pitcher
and In there to win. : The only chance
I got to hit was when I stepped over for
a wide one and got a single. ,
KITOWS ABOUT PITCHING .
I'm just figuring this thing from the
fan's standpoint. - Lately, in every town,
the fans have booed when I have been
walked. They like to see a pitcher fight
it out. ; If I strike out they give the
pitcher ' a great hand. That . is fair
enough. - Striking out doesn't bother me
because I know I was In there trying my
hardest. But I believe most every fan

stolen from a threshing" machine be
longing to J. A. Jensen of McMInnville

one 7 inch belt ISO feet long,! one 4 inch

Ball Fans Want
will be with me if I say Cat that it Isn't
fair to them to have a pitcher walk a
player who is a hitter every time be
comes If up. whether there are men on
bases OT not.
" I have done considerable pitching my
self and I know that it is wise to walk
a heavy hitter in a pinch now and then,
I Jiave done it myself. But I' never
walked Cobb or Speaker or Joe Jackson
three times in a game.-.
PAS'S GET BIG THKILL
As far as home runs go, X get more
pleasure out of knowing the fan got
their money's worth than anything else,
X listen to them. I would be foolish if
I said X didn't get any pleasure out of
hearing tHem yell, because X do, but I
thlnk.more of the fun they are having.
So, as" X say, it-is the fans who ought
to be considered. : The pitcher wants to
win his ball game, but he can do it, I
believe, and be more popular with the
fans by fighting it out. .
Mind you, I am not complaining for
myself. Pitchers are paid to win ball
games. ' But. I believe that it would be
better to fight it out than to take all
the pep out of the game for the fans
with intentional walks.
PBAISES TWO SOX HTJELEES
There are pitchers who fight it out
with me every time. Eddie Cicotte and
Dickie Kerr of the White Sox club are
two. I have hit Kerr for three homers
not once. Cicotte. and myself are good
friends and I would rather get a homer
off him than anyone X know. But he
is bad medicine for me. He is a fighter
of the kind I have been talking about.
And when I am hitting against him I
get my money's worth asd so do the
fans. So far Cicotte has got all the ap
plause. Some day I am going to get
him, though.; -
I have been asked if "I believe X will
get 50 homers this season. I hope so.
That is what X am working for ndw. .
