Beavers Win
Series; Two
GamesToday:
By Georre Berts
fTiHIS Is the wonder week of base
ii ball in Portland. With big George
Walberg: south pawing the Seals into
submission with three scattered hits
all of them doubles; however, the
Beavers won the fourth puna of the
wee It from the league leaders Satur
day and their first series in, well
memory fails to recall Just when
Portland took the Bay City represen
tatives down the lino in a series. The
score was 3 to 1.
Boys. It's been a great week at the
Vaughn street grounds and the cheap
ness of 'the Seals seems tp have de
veloped into a good sised grouch.
SCOTT TAKES DEFEAT
"Death Valley" Scott, the big ace of
the Seal pitching- staff, took, the de
feat right on the chin, and Jim can
thank his lucky stars that the Beavers
did not pile up more tallies against
his hurling.
Walberg pitched a beautiful game of
baseball. He had the Seals at his
mercy throughout the nine innings and
but for n error by Charley High on
a -hard hit ball, be likely would have
whitewashed the league leaderx
WALBEEG FANS BEAUTY THRICE
The big southpaw allowed but one
base pn balls and that with the aid of
High's error, resulted in the lone
tally for the Seals. Walberg centered
his attention along the strike out lines
on Jimmy O'Connell, who, with Wal
ters, will report to John McGraw of
the Giants next spring, striking out the
J75.000 three times.
McGraw Is probably chuckling out
loud at the present time, for he, no
doubt, has heard of Walbergs feat in
holding the Seals " to three scattered
bingies and his ability to fool a .bats
znan for whom McGraw paid 75,000.
The Beavers started off against
Scott in the first inning, Ike Wolter
leading the attack by pasting the first
ball offered by Scott to right field
for a single. McCann laid down a
sacrifice and Brazill lined out a drive
to right field. Wolfer being safe at the
plate when Agnew droppea Valla's per
fect peg. V
tHfiOKS HELP BEAYEBS
Walberg held the Seals safe in the
first and second, but In the third the
visitors tied the count. Kliduff drew
a walk but was forced at" second by
Agnew. Scott put Agnew- on third
with a double just Inside the first base
foul line. Kelly was safe when High
dropped bis line drive and Agnew
counted when High threw the bail to
third instead of making a play at the
plate. O'Connell whiffed and Scott
was caught stealing third. , j
The score stood 1-all until the Seals
kicked the game away. Hale beat out
a slow roller down the third base
line and went to second on Kamm's
wide Lftiow. Poole laid down a bunt
and beat it out. Scott tossed the ball
wide, Hale scampering over the plate
and Poole going to second on the
bail. High laid down a sacrifice and
when Gressett crashed a single past
Ellison Poole scored. Fubrman, after
knocking a foul Ua.ll over the right
field fence, fiied to center and Wal
berg hit into a force-out, retiring the
side.
CHANGE Hl'ELEKS
That's the story of the runs, but a
break in the fourth killed a prospec
tive rally. High drew a walk and
was automatically out when hit by
Gressett's fast grounder. High coudl
'have reached third on the hit and a
run may have resulted.
Hodge, who was the victim of the
Beaver barrage on Friday, replaced
Scott on the mound in the eighth and
the Beavers came near nicking him
for some more runs. Hale opened with
a single but was forced at second.
High drew a walk and both runners
advanced on Gressett's out. At this
point Jack Miller flashed the signal
to walk Oliie Fuhrman and the bases
were loaded. Fuhrman has developed
Into some hitter judging from Miller's
actions, although unofficial averages
give him but a mark of .180. Walberg
forced Furhman at second for the
third tut and ended the near-rally.
BIG CROWD EXPECTED
. The Seals had a great chance to
score In the fourth when. Valla opened
with a double, but he stayed on sec
ond while Ellison, Kam and Rhyne
were retired easily. Kamm's double
in the seventh was the third hit off
Walberg but Willie stayed on second
while Rhyne and Kilduff were being
retired, McCann making a wonderful
catch of a hard Jine drive from' Kil
dufTs bat.
In anticipation of a big crowd at
today's doubleheader, reserved seats
for the grama will be on . sale at the
baseball office in the Morgan building
from 9, o'clock Sunday morning to
noon.
"Suds" Sutherland and Levurenz are
scheduled to hurl for the Beavers to
day, while the Seals may- depend on
either Mitchell or Shea in the first
game and Coumbe in the second con
test. The scor

Tilden Retains
Tennis Title
"By Joseph S. Bogers
Unirerul Serrrlee Staff Correspondent.
GERMANTOWN CRICKET CLUB,
Philadelphia, Sept. 16. William
T. Tilden tonight owes more to his
mother than his marvelous court tech
nique, his possession of the trophy en
blematia of thrice winning the Ameri
can tennis title he said so but those
who know "Big Bill" well did not need
to be told, they know.
In defeating William M. Johnston,
4-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-8, 6-4. the tall Phila
delphlan did more than overwhelm the
Californian that critics said could not
be. beaten this year he made a sturdy
oak of the acorn Imbedded in him when
he was 16 years old. he proved conclusively-
that In face of defeat he Is
a super, man.
The match today reflects in many
ways Tilden's career on the court. Set
by set. It tells a story of a life ambition
which had its Inception when Tilden
was a student at German town Academy
just a few squares sway from the
courts where he electrified 15,000 en
thusiasts today.
LOSES EIBST SET
Just as he was often defeated during
his school days, Tilden lost the first
set to Johnston. At this stage the
Californian was undoubtedly his su
perior. When TildAi was at German
town Academy, he was not a tennis
star. He was easily defeated by
Horace B. Swope of Penn. Charter
Germantown's rival. He was discour
aged. His mother said to him. accord?
ing to Tilden:
"Son. to be best in the world at some
thing whether it -be banking or' mer
chandising or what not be the best."
Tilden lost the second set just as he
lost many times when & student at
the University of Penn a. As a matter
of fact. Tilden as a college player did
not rank as high comparatively as he
did when a school boy. . That fact is
reflected in the score of the second
set, t-6, as to the first, 4-6. As -a
college player, Tilden' played often,
but with varying success. He did not
"find himself" until he left college
and . then only because he remembered
hfs mother's words "Be the best in
the world at something.'
CAME TO LIFE IX THIRD .y'
Tilden continued to play tennis and
decided on making it his life work. He
was not wealthy, although his father,
for many years s president of the
Rowers Take Oars

J? A. STEVENS, former Cornell uni-A-ia

National
in Hard Match
Union League of this city, was well
to do.
Kven though Tilden lost the first
two sets, to Johnston, those who had
seen him hundreds of times come from
behind and win, were perturbed, but
not dismayed. Just as Tilden started
comparatively late in life to become
a great tennis player, so did he start
In the third set Playing the greatest
game ever seen on an, American court
and by a remarkable exhibition of
courage, he smothered "Little Bill" 6-2
with the same ease as when he first
won his American championship in
1920.
The fourth set which the champion
took at 6-3, was the real turning point
of the match. Breaking through the
challenger's service more easily, than
he took his. own, Tilden evened that
match at two sets each.
The final set which Tilden took at 6-4
showed the champion as lie really was.
Johnston, playing the same brand of
tennis which astounded the Australians
at Forest Hills during the Davis cup
matches battled for every point as he
always does but Tilden uncorking
every shot in his racquet vocabulary
was more than equal to the occasion.
He won In 1922 as he did in 1921.
WIS SIX GAMES
There were two curious features t
the match. One, at the end of the third
set with Johnston one to the good. Til
den was leading on points 79 to 78. The
other, that In the fourth set, Johnston
took the first three games, seemed to
have the match well in hand, and then
Tilden ran out six straight' games
with but four errors."
Johnston proved himself a wonder
ful sportsman. He said after the match
that he had played his best game
but that it was simply a case- of "Too
much Tilden."
It was a match never to be forgotten
and leaves in bold relief the possibili
ties of that greatest of all- virtues, am
bition.

Seals May Yet
Race for Coast League Flag
By 6. B.
WHEN the Beavers opened a series
at San Francisco three weeks ago,
a Bay City scribe was Tery gleeful
over the suspension of "Rowdy" El
liott, first string catcher of the Bea
vers. The writer claimed that the suspen
sion of Fjlliott would help the Seals,
but that was two weeks ago. Today,
the discord that was prevalent in the
Beaver camp has disappeared and the
Beavers are making it hot for the
Seals.
BLAYIJTO 13T F0BM
. When the Beavers played at San
Francisco. Manager Mlddleton had not
yet got his team molded along his own
lines. It has been a different story
this week, however, as. the Beavers are
giving tha Seals all the fight they
want; in fact, they gave the leaders
more than a battle in the Southland,
losing five games by a one-run mar
gin. The Seals can bo beaten, and they
may yet lost the pennant. Had Ver
non been able to topple over Sacra
mento while the Beavers were wallop
ing the Seals in three out- of four
games played prior to yesterday's
game, the margin held by the Seals
would bo very narrow.
Four more weeks .of the season re
main on the schedule. During this
four weeks the Seals tangle with the
Los Angeles club twice, Sacramento
and Oakland.- The Angels will likely
give the Seals a hard rub. and it's a
cinch that the Oaks will give them
stiff opposition during the final week
of the season.
TIGERS HAVE CHAW CE
Vernon is but two and one bartf
games behind the Seals, and play two
series with Oakland, one with Seattle
and one with Los Angeles. This gives
Vernon an edge, as all but one series
are to be played at home. '
Portland win play three out of the
four remaining series with second di
vision teams. Next week they play at
Sacramento; and the follow week clash
with Oakland. Coming home October
S. they meet Salt Lake, and will dose
the season with Sacramento.
The Beaver players are' out to finish
in sixth or seventh place. If they can
keep agoing like they have against the

since their inception and ho announced
that last week's affair" was highly suc
cessful. - In 1921 Bichard Hoogs won
the title and the right to possess the
cup and all bo has to do- is to transfer
it on- the other side- of the-. mantel
which - belongs to Bob. Dick wasn't

Seals, they have an excellent chance of
passing, Seattle, which would give them
more pleasure than knocking the Seals
for a count
HALE WASTED VS MAJORS
iiAiumy Hale likely will get Another
whirl at major league . baseball next
season. - Three major league clubs, the
Chicago Nationals, the Brooklyn podg
ers and the St, Louis Americans, have
offers for his services The best of
fer was received from the Browns,- but
the club officials are not decided what
offer to accept. .
The Cubs offered $40,000 in cash.
That's a lot of money, but the Beavers
are seeking playing talent in addition
to cash 'for Hale's services. The
Browns.' it is reported, -would have
paid $50,000 during the' time Hah .was
out witn his injured shoulder.
Hale is the best third sacker in the
Coast league, with the exception of
Willie Kamm, and Kamm's only edge
over Sammy is in fielding. As a bat
ter. Halo is .without a doubt the best
bitter in the league. He has demon
strated his bitting ability in the series
against San FTancisco. .-
- Not counting Saturday's game, Sam
my. has made seven bits in 13 times up.
He has driven. in five-runs and scored
four himself. w ,
COTXT 02T WHITE SOX. ' 4 C
San Francisco is beginning to figure
on .Willie Kamm's successor. Eddie
Mulligan former Salt Laker, and Herb
McCleUan. who are dividing the play
ing time at third base for Che White
Sox, are mentioned for the place.
Neither one of them will come up to
Kamm,' and the Seals will surely miss
the beauty, who is bound to win a reg
ular place with the Sox next spring.
Kamm is a wonder. He's a rood field
er, and has developed his batting eye
wonderfully - during this season. -.An
other thing that makes Kamm popular
is his wonderful personality. - He is
head and., shoulders aboev .Jimmy
O'Connell in this .respect. 1
MITZE to jour CLUB
Honus Mitxe, the veteran Oakland
catcher, is going to help the Beavers
in their Tight to get out of the cellar.
Mitxe is a steady catcher, and a dan
gerous batter in the pinch; He will
Join Portland at Sacramento Tuesday.
