San Francisco, won 3; Portland, won 2. j Oakland has suffered four shut-outs in ! the five games they have played against Vernon this week. j Two prames remain of the present se- ; rles. Today's game begins at 3:30 o'clock, and Sunday's wind-up begins at 3 o'clock. The Saints have one postponed game with the Angels, but owing to the crippled condition of hie club Blanken-shlp Blanken-shlp decided to put off playing it until the Angels' next trip. A dispatch from Pittsburg to The Tribune Trib-une says that the Pirates are making an effort to buy Harry Wolter from the Angels. An-gels. The Pirates are In a bad way for outfielders and Wolter would fit Into Callahan's Cal-lahan's machine nicely. He is a mighty slugger and a rangy fielder. Tommy Quinlan's three two-baggers yesterday probably Is a record for two-ply two-ply swats. In addition, Tommy also got a single and a walk. Chance had his warm-up corral full of pitchers during the eighth and ninth, being be-ing a programme of preparedness in case tZabel should fail to do a come-back after the walloping he got In the seventh. Scogins, Horstman and Ryan were getting get-ting up a nice sweat when the game 1 ended. j Dutch Klawltter looks like the best bet , for Salt Lake today, and unless Chance 1 derides to start Kahler, we may again 1 gaze upon the classic features of Jack Ryan. Bill Orr played a wonderful game at short yesterday. He made two seemingly seeming-ly impossible stops and generally showed speed and class. Piercey snapped up Ktlis's foozler in the first and got Rube at first. It was a hard play. Orr staged a thriller in the third when he wen t. back of second and snatched Kllis's hard bounder, but Rube beat the throw a step. Rath went among the graJidstanriers paraphernalia to pull in Koerncr's foul in the third. Orr took Koerner's hopper In the sixth away to his right. A perfect long throw beat Ihe runner. McLarry slammed one at Brief in the fmirt h that a 1 most knocked Bunny down. Brief recovered in time to get Galloway at second. Brief went to t lie un'overel bleacher fence to nab Maggerfs long f6u In the eighth. Baseball is a. funny business. In ! Wednesday's game Maggert had eight ! put-outs on caught fly balls in center field; yesterday he didn't have a one. In the Wednesday . and Thursday games there was only one fly ball caught in right field for the Angels in each; yesterday yes-terday Wolter had five. PORTLAND, July 7. Charles Weegh-man. Weegh-man. owner of the Chicago National league club, prompted by his right arm, Joe Tinker, would Ilk to have Louie Guisto, the Beavers' sensational first baseman, and has opened up on the Mc-Crodies Mc-Crodies with a nice letter. The Chicago magnate has deferentially deferen-tially asked Judge McCredie if he has tied Louie qp by option to any major league club. The ex-Jurist pausea yesterday in his preparations to depart for Hot Springs and answered Weeghman to the effect that Louie was footloose and fancy free so far as major league entanglements were concerned and that he would continue con-tinue so to be until a fitting and proper price was dangled In front of the judge's Ollveroptlc. Weeghman's letter had a trade tenor to it, but the Chicagoan would have to fork ovf-r about five of his ball tossers for the big Italian slugger. If t lie re is to be any trading for Louie, he will be traded to the Cleveland club, which has been the heroic ally of the Beavers in years past. Ray Boyd, -the Oakland liurler, is rapidly rap-idly becoming: more and more promising as a candidate for the Tough Luck club. Ray has been a sort of work horse with the Oaks for the past two months, and was never at his best form until but recently. re-cently. Then Ray. with a proper rest between games, began hurling wonderful baseball. Two weeks ago the spitball artist became be-came eligible for the T. L. club when he held the Angels to one run in eight innings, in-nings, losing the game on a boot. Last week Boyd hurled two excellent games against the Seals, being defeated in one and escaping from the other with neither neith-er a win nor a loss when Sammy Beer stepped In just in time to get credit for the beating. Boyd's run of hard luck cannot continue con-tinue forever, but neither can Ray pitch airtight baseball forever. About the time luck breaks for him Home of the opposing oppos-ing batters will be ready to break a few boards. Tough Luck is Boyd's middle name. Carl Sawyer, utility man of the Wash- 1 Ington team, and Nick Altrock'a rival as j an entert ainer, was strangely quiet on the coaching lines while hla team was in j 1 St. Louis. The secret has come out. A I thief broke into the vlaltlng players' j dressing room in St. Louis and Ktole 535 in money, a diamond stickpin and a watch from Sawyer. The watch was a present from bin mother, now dead, and its loss broke him up. Poll Perritt was handfyj his five day'n notice yesterday, and at the expiration I of that time, unless something happens, will be handed bin release. Wolverton expects that I-'-rif-kson. the new pitcher from Detroit, will Join the Seals next week. I I LOS ANGKLKS. July 7.There le some terrible excitement over Bill Burns, t he Oakland southpaw. Burns notified YA-Hott YA-Hott some time ago that he would report for duty this wepk and the O.iks have been depending on him to help In the sadly depleted pitching department. If nothing is heard of the mysterious Bill, the good old telegraph will be pressed Into service and the line will be kept hot to Burns's Nebraska ranch. Speed Martin sfms to have entirely recovered from his recent injury and will (Continued on Following Page.) Wild Heaves and Such. 4 . f (Continued From Preceding Page.) be back on the job in a short time. Rowdy Elliott is hoping that Martin will keep up his excellent pitching record for this season and add a few victories to the Oak score. . Martin was going in good shape when he broke a bone in his ; hand. This put him on the sick list for some time, but he is O. K. now and I anxious to get back into his old berth. "Doc" White, the veteran southpaw, put on a Tiger uniform today and tried tossing- the ball around the lot. This is I "Doc's" first appearance since he quit jthe game last October. White does not intend to try to stage a come-back or anything like that. He simply wanted ! the exercise. Howard Gregory, former Oakland pitcher, pitch-er, has accepted terms with Rock Island iin the Thrce-I league, according to Secretary Sec-retary O'Farrell's latest bulletin. I I Wolverton received a dispatch vester-day vester-day from Owner Navin of the Detroit i club to the effect that Pitcher Krickson 1 has left for the west and, according to ! instructions, will meet the Seals next .Tuesday in Salt Lake. Harry admits now I he was after Erickson before the Boehler deal was made and that he is more than pleased at the switch. When Boehler refused re-fused to join San Francisco, Detroit said Erickson could make the trip. San Francisco Fran-cisco Chronicle. Elmer Zaeher, once a Saint, who has been outllelding this season for the Newark New-ark club of the International league, is now on his way to another club. Elmer has been sold by the Newark, management manage-ment to Toronto, of which club he is now a member. Zee her has not been hitting any too well, though his fielding was always above par. Zacher was one of the Oaks who helped i Bud Sharpe win the 1912 pennant. He ,was sold in 1914 to Salt Lake, where he played for a season. Last winter he ;was cast adrift. Before he was with the I Oaks Zacher was an International league I star, and naturally he drifted back to I the league where he first roue to fame. Elmer went from the International league ; to the New York Giants and then went to the Oaks. Williams used un too much strength fanning St. Louis batters in the first five innings, when he retired ten on strikes. For a time it looked as though he was going after a new record.
