B. A-. The team averages .332 In batting and Manager Lowry is claiming the honor Of having the heaviest hitting aggre gation in seml-pro ; circles in ? Oregon. The Iron workers have scored T47 runs to their opponents' &9 and made 301 hits to the opposition's 113. Al Jones, the lanky first baseman, has a fielding average of 1.000 for 165 chances and he leads the regulars with the stick with a mark of .39L "Cherub" Lowry is out . on the coaching line every game, say reports, and he hasn't missed a meeting of the P. B. A. as yet. It costs money to indulge j In trap shooting. One of the shooters In the Olympic Athletic dub tournament in San Francisco figured out the cost of the tournament and was surprised. Ninety shooters participated in the four days' shooting. They shot at 90,000 targets at 3 cents each, and fired 90, 000 shells at 6 cents each, while the other charges cost ; the club about 1Q cents a shot which j means that the tournament cost about $9000. When the Grand American with some 900 entries gets going you can take a sharp pencil and get a lot of good big figures. More money . Is spent on. the Grand American handicap than anv' other' sporting event In the world, including the world's base ball, eeries., .f.i ' - ? ,r i I K I . - Just by way of passing we want to call to your attention, that Frank Troeh is now the possessor of the Hazard doubles . championship trophy.

The sensational charges of "Babe" Borton, former member" of the Vernon Coast league club, that certain players of other teams were paid to help Vernon win. last season's iennant, were reiter ated in an affidavit made public today. The affidavit, he asserts, does not cover all the evidence be has in his possession. He . declared he is ready to face any or all of the Vernon players and Man ager William Essick In court or before a baseball tribunal. Borton declared he did not intend to let the matter drop with a flat denial by the men he ac cuses. He Is desirous of an investiga tion by a commission composed of un biased citizens to be selected by William McCarthy, president of the Coast league! . , . ... , -. t, ; . "The members of the Vernon club will go just so far in their statements about me and the league will place the blame for one too many things -on me, and then I will take the case into court and demand a showdown., which it doesn't appear I will get in any other way," Borton said. 1 MAST ABE WHITEWASHED "This Is not a closed incident with me. I think the finish will find a great many other players who are now be ing kindly whitewashed by the Coast league, sitting right where I amout of baseball tor all time." A" number of Vernon players who were charged by Borton with being im plicated with him last season in buying off members of opposing clubs issued statements today vehemently denying their former teammate's accusations. VERNON FLAYERS MAKE STRONG DENIAL- OF CHARGES Los Angeles, Aug. 1. (U. P.) Blanket denials of Babe Borton's charges that the Vernon team "bought the Pacific Coast league pennant last year by bribes paid to players on other teams" have been issued by Manager William Essick and Vernon players, who characterized Borton's affidavit as "a mass of lies." j Borton charged that 1 Robert Ffsher, second baseman of the Vernon club, "took care of" Del Baker, Red Old ham, Jack Farmer, Ed Mulligan and Art Koehler with money contributed by the Vernon team. Borton paid Dale, Rumler and Maggert, he said. "Borton's charges are a mass of lies," said Manager Essick. "He is trying to drag baseball and the Vernon team down with him." Fisher denied ever having received or paid "one cent that my contract did not call - for." Other Vernon players denied having entered into an agreement with Essick,' Fisher and Borton to buy the pennant during the last series with Salt Lake. ' Essick points to the percentage col umn as one indication of the untruth fulness of Borton's charges. "When we began the ' two weeks series with Salt Lake, we were tied with Los Angeles at .600. At the end of the series Los Angeles had ,61S. while we were 2 games behind with .603." Essick said. - ear . i ; England to Withdraw From Games Failure to Support Is the By Forbes W, T ONDOX. Aug. 1.

The Cubs are the mystery of the Na tional league. Led by a smart manager, backed by a wealthy owner and pos sessing individual talent of a -high de gree, they are floundering In fifth place. They have : lost more games than they have won.' In fact, they have been hovering around the .500 mark all season. . . j ' There are . times when the latent strength in the Cubs is developed into brief winning streaks. But they are only winning sprints. The Cuba lose in streaks,- too. One would think that any team rally ing behind such pitchers as Vaughn. Alexander,: Tyler and Hendrlx could win more-iiban half Its games, but there are the Cubs with 61 won and 62 lost. . Charley Uersog and Dave Robertson ex-Giants, are appearing In the Cub line-up daily, but Fred Merkle has been replaced at first base by Turner Barber, who is an ' outfielder. The Cubs appar ently suffer from, lack of a punch. They have.no heavy "clean-up" hitters. A "month ago it appeared that the Cubs might get together and stage a drive such as the Giants are putting on. Their case' Is now regarded as almost hopeless. They are Just' a ball team In the National league. This is one club in which there will be sweeping changes before another season rolls around. j . - Hollocher's Illness hurt the Cubs. The Cub shortstop recently underwent an operation for appendicitis. Take a shortstop like him out of a team just starting ar drive for the top and you wreck the i whole team. But Mitchell is resourceful and the men haven't given up hope yet. Maybe we'll be up there when the test comes. STANDINGS faolflo Ooast Laagu I. Prt. W. T-. .S 7 . 05 .OS 74 67 70 W. I,. .
