Equipoise needs $79,574 to tie. In his live previous races this year, Equipoise has won each time and many turfmen are beginning to believe c. V. Whitney s live year old is unbeatable. Certainly he is the greatest Amer ican racehorse since Man O'War won 20 out of 21 races In 1919 and 1920. PICKS HIS WOMAN AND POCKETBOOKS Paris, (IP) Proclaiming boast fully that he had stolen the hearts of 741 fair maids and matrons as well as their pocketbooks and jewels Edmond Achour, an Algerian, has been given three years behind the bars to think it over. Achour posed as the Count de Saint-Yrletx and his method was first to win the heart and affection of his victim, and then, when clasped in love's fond, embrace, he would pick her pocket. The fake count also went by the name of the Marquis de la Ferronnays. "I posed as a physician, frequently," he told the court, "be- caues from my experience with wo men I have learned they are es pecially susceptible to doctors. This is not the first offense of the love-thief.

A squad of negro ball players, known as the "Colored House of Da vid," barnstorming throughout the northwest in recent weeks, will come here Thursday evening for a con test with the Salem Senators. And while their wins have been none too plentiful during their engagements with bush organizations of Portland and other Oregon towns, their repu. lation for putting on an excellent show has won for them quite a fol lowing. When the negroes were at Silver ton last Saturday they suffered de feat in a six and a half Inning game. At that time they were carrying but nine players. Since then, how ever, they have succeded in streng thening their lineup. The colored boys performed before two good sized crowds In Portland recently. Their "shadow gamj" and "pepper box" performances have brought chuckles from the spectators wher ever thev have exhibited. The Senators, looking lorwara to Thursday night's engagement and to the last game of the State league season Sunday afternoon, are en gaging in more serious practice ses sions. The season would not be an entire loss if they could win against the negroes and then beat Eugene on Olinger field next Sunday alter noon. "Squeak" Wilson will probably start on the mound for the Senators Thursday evening at 5:15. NICHOLSON, BEVENS GOOD SAYS WRITER How one or two of the Woodburn American Legion baseball squad ap pear to a distlnterested critic is set forth in an article appearing in a recent copy of the Walla Walla Bulletin, written by the sports edi tor of that publication. The writer of the article accompanied the Wal la Walla team to Pocatello and saw all four games. In a previous story the same writer declared wooa- -burn's team was better balanced that Seattle's entry which was dis qualified after defeating Walla Walla three times. Speaking of the 15 inning game won by Woodburn over Pocatello, the writer says: "Outstanding in the game, of course, was the 23 strikeout per formance that this lad Pete Bevens turned in. It was a marvelous bit of work for a 17 year old youth and definitely stamped him as a great prospect in baseball. He has many things in his favor as a pitcher if given proper handling during tne next year or two. He is tall, a shade over the six foot mark. He has a free and easy action, a wonderful fast ball that approaches the speed of Pete Jonas, a cool disposition even when in trouble, great control, and a fair curve that helps his strikeout string. "Bevens should go far in base ball, but so should this lad Nichol son, Woodburn's center - fielder. There is a boy who is a real ball hawk. That spectacular catch of his which saved the game in the 11th was one in a lifetime. He was deep in his own pasture when The ball was hit and turned to the right towards left field. To snare the flying pellet he had to leap up and back and reach with his gloved band towards home plate while he was traveling In the opposite di rection. When he came in at the close of the inning the stands gave im a thundering ovation. To prove that his catch wasn't too out of the ordinary for him he went from di rect center well over into left to take a towering drive in the 13th. His coach told me after the game that the lad is a 10 second dash man and an all around athlete. He can play on my ball club any day, and Rader doubles that. Pocatello made . a wonderful fight of it, looking five - times as good as the day before when Miles City was defeated, but in the long run the superior team won out. Even the closest followers of the home club admitted that, although general sympathy was with the losers because of the question of Woodburn s personnel on the country-wide recruiting idea. Only one of the players on the championship team actually lives in Woodburn, although three or four more come from small towns in the. same post area." MAKE OCEAN TRIP Woodburn Miss Helen Allen and Miss Thelma Stephens of the high school faculty returned Sunday fro man extended visit In California, where they visited Berkeley, San Francisco and Carmel. They made the trip home on the steamship Ad miral Peoples. Veeck's Proposal as Eta m ' es ei ehj sis ebs be To Revive Baseball Game gig E3 era bsi S3 Gaining New York, Aug. 23 OP) for William L. Veeck's proposal that baseball interest be re vived through a series of inter-league games in mid-season and assured the scheme of thorough discussion before the 1934 season begins. There seemed to be at least an outside chance it would be tried next year. Unqualified endorsement of the Chicago Cubs' president's plan was voiced by Alva Bradley and Stephen W. McKeever, presidents respective ly ol the Cleveland Indians ana Brooklyn Dodeers. Other club own ers almost unanimously agreed that some such radical departure irom the regular order, of things was WILLS FAILS TO Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 23 (JPl If Helen Wills had obeyed doctor's orders she wouldn't be seeking her eighth national singles tennis championship now. "I was told to rest until January because of my back injury." she said. "I walk slightly crooked now. With a lot of that California sun shine on the beach, however, I ex pect to recover completely. This spinal strain is quite troublesome but otherwise I feel as well as ever." The great Californian thinks one of the reasons she dropped a set to Betty Nuthall in the semi-finals Sunday was because she failed to warm up before the matcn. "I thought a brisk massage would be all right," she said, "but I was wrong. I did not get warmed up until the second set. Betty played beautiful tennis in the first set. "I intend to practice a bit on an outside court before each of my re maining matches. That should put me in as good shape as ever." Meanwhile tournament officials looked hopefully for a change in the weather so that the two re maining matches one in singles and one in doubles could be com pleted today and thus allow the finals to be played tomorrow. In singles, Helen Jacobs, the de fending champion, and Dorothy Round, English star, were to meet for the right to face Mrs. Moody in tne unai round. In doubles Mrs. Moody and Elizabeth Ryan were paired against Miss Round and Mary Heeley, the survivors to bat tle Miss Nuthall and Freda James for the title. FRINKS ARE HOSTS Macleay Mr. and Mrs. W. Frink entertained a group of friends at a picnic in their gardens Sunday. Horseshoe pitching was the dever sion of the afternoon. Jefferson Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Miller, accompanied by their grand sons, Donald and Jackie Nebergall of Albany, spent several days at Yachats with Portland friends.

"We need some such stimulant and I am in favor of it," McKeever said, while Bradley pointed out he actually nad advocated a dennite plan for Inter-league games. "Four such games in a season for each team," he said, "would give the fans a good idea of comparative skill." Sam Brcadon of the St. Louis Cardinals thought the plan might increase attendance and President William Benswanger of the Pitts burgh Pirates said it was worth ser ious consideration. He thought it would be preferable, at any rate, to a spilt season which also has been suggested as a means of increasing interest, president Gerald Nugent of the Phillies was another who thought the plan at least should be thoroughly discussed. The chief dissenter was Frank J. Navin of Detroit who declared the falling off in baseball attendance was no greater than in other branches of the amusement busi ness and that better crowds could be expected with improvement in business conditions. EASTERN JUNIORS BATTLE FOR PLACE Springfield, Ohio, Aug. 23 (ff) Teams from Mobile, Ala., and Springfield, O., battled their way through the first round of the eastern sectional American Legion junior tournament yesterday.

A I. flUt COlfPF, 1505 FJf.HT, S6S BOSTON BR..VES CAUSE STIR IN NATIONAL RACE By Associated Press Lightning seldom strikes twice in , the same spot but National league i contenders, harking back to 1914, are casting an apprehensive eye on the exploits of the Boston Braves. Theres still a long nam struggle ahead of Bill McKechnie's hopefuls before they can rival the feat of the Braves of 10 yars ago who climbed from last place on July 4 to win the pennant and then the world series in successive games from the Phila delphia Athletics. But it's not im possible. Their fourth straight triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates and their 17th victory in 21 games yesterday sent the Braves flying into second place, seven games behind the New York Giants. McKechnie's crew was in fourth place when their winning streak began 24 days ago. Wally Bern's 22nd homer in the 14th inning gave the Braves their 5-4 decision over the Pirates yester day and ruined what otherwise was an almost perfect job of relief pitch ing by the veteran Waite Hoyt. Go ing to the mound in the.fourth after young Hal Smith had given way to a pinch hitter, Hoyt walked Al Spohrer, first man to face him. then set down 25 batsmen in order before Hal Lee singled with one down in the 12th. Hoyt then got the next five men in succession but Berger broke up the ball game with none out in the 14th. Fred Frankhouse went the route for the Braves and allowed only ten hits, blanking the Corsairs over the last nine frames. American league results Tuesday: Cleveland 3, New York 4; Detroit 10, Washington 8; St. Louis 6, Philadel phia 7; Chicago 8-4, Boston 1-0. BARRACKMAN AND BENNETT WINNERS Bouts were short lived In Tues day night's wrestling exhibition at the armory as was to be expected on account of warm weather and rather slim attendance, with Mer- vln Barrackman, George Bennett and "Prof." Newton winning their outs. The latter was granted decision over Jess McCann when McCann used a clenched fist on the professor's chin. Barrackman beat "Bunny" Mar tin by taking the second and third falls after Martin had captured the first in 15 minutes. The second fall was clocked at 4:36 and the third in almost nothing flat. Bennett continued his winning streak by beating Oakie the Eskimo two out of three. Oakie too the first in 10:24 while Bennett grabbed the second and third in 4:54 and 5:13.
