Mobbe L-everenz will fling for the Bees today. If Lefty's arm is still too lame for action Jean Dale will do the trick. Yesterday was the first time in ages that none of the hitters engaged in a game at Bonneville park did not get into the daily list of .500 or belter. A snappy pitching battle like that put on by Stroud and Reiger is such a rare occurrence here that it comes as a mighty relief from the high-score games. Yesterday's game was a brilliant performance per-formance on the part of the fielders, only four batsmen going out on strike-outs. Bill Stumpf, infielder released Sunday by the Oaka, was In the Sacramento lineup line-up yesterday. He is rlaying third in the absonce of Ralph Plnelli. Rumler's homer was the only extra-base extra-base hit of the day, there being en entire, en-tire, and uonsecinently a surprising, absence ab-sence of two-baggers. Also the game was gone through in a little more than an hour and a half, which In Itself is worthy of note. Joe Dalley, the young Seattle youngster who was purchased by Portland in 1917 from the Seattle club. Is en route to the Pacific coast after having spent a year overseas in the motor transport corps. He will probably report to Manager Mc-Credie Mc-Credie during tho next home stay of the Beavers. During the 1917 season Dalley won half of the games he pitched for the Beavers. He allowed but 50 hits in 66 2-3 innings. The earned runs off his delivery were 3.67 per game, which is not a bad record for a youngster. Portland Journal. The Seals yesterday signed Paul Codington, Cod-ington, a young fellow, who is just back from France, where he put in fourteen months. He is an infielder and Graham will have him on the bench to give him a chance to break in gradually. If he shows sufficient class he will get a chance next year to make the team. Portland and Seattle were after him. San Francisco Fran-cisco Chronicle. Outfielder George Maisel of the Portland Port-land Pacific coast league baseball club may finish the season with the Cin cinnati Nationals, who are but .017 points behind John McGraw's Giants at the present stage of the grand old race for the gonfalon In the senior major circuit. Information to the effect that Pat Moran, veteran baseball chief of Redland, is after Gentleman George trickled over the telegraph wire last night. Would Walter Henry McCredie part with the invaluable services of his much-sought much-sought gardener? Of course he would that is, providing he gets value received and can "square things" with Detroit. If he can get a couple of pitchers of class AA caliber there Is no question but that Manager Mack will let Georgie trot back to the big time if President Frank Navin of the Tigers gives his O. K. Maisel was obviously purchased by Portland Port-land from Detroit along with Oldham, Baker, Walker, Blue and the rest. Even though it is against the rules and regulations regu-lations for teams to have working agreements agree-ments there Is little question but that Hughie Jennings has the inner track, via the gentlemen's agreement route, on the services of the foxy gladiator of fairways. fair-ways. Portland Oregonian. (Chicago Tribune Special Service.) CHICAGO, July 31. Carl Mays, the much-sought-after deserter from the Boston Bos-ton Red Sox, ran afoul some of the well-known well-known American league discipline this morning. Immediately upon learning officially of-ficially of the deal completed yesterday by Harry Frazee, owner of the champions, and Messrs. Ruppert and Huston, backers of the Yankees, which sent Mays to the New York club. President Ban Johnson ordered the Indefinite suspension of the submarine ball expert. Mays left the Red Sox July 13 when in Chicago, proceeding directly to his home In the Hub after asserting he was through with the champions, and never again would pitch for Manager Eddie Barrow. The big right-hander had been with Boston Bos-ton since 1914, and until this season was one of the club's most effective pitchers. Despite the conduct of the deserting slab artist, no action was taken against him by the Boston club, for, according to President Johnson, he had automatically suspended himself by his action. After waiting several days for a report on the matter from the Boston club, Johnson wired Barrow asking why he had not suspended Mays. No answer came to that query, according to the American league executive. When the latter learned this morning of the big trade staged yesterday, yester-day, he immediately plastered on the indefinite in-definite ban. "I am amazed to learn that any club owner in the American league should even attempt to negotiate for the services of a player who is guilty of an act such as was committed by Pitcher Mays." said Johnson. "Baseball cannot tolerate that sort of conduct." At the meeting of the Boston and New York moguls In Gotham late yesterday afternoon, Mays was traded for Pitchers Robert McGraw and Allan Russell, a third player to be selected later, and a cash sum of about $40,000. Gotham fans hailed the acquisition of Mays as an assurance that the Yankees Yan-kees would now romp to the pennant. Comiskey and several other American league moguls had entertained hopes of landing the star, but, under tho Johnson ruling. Mays probably will be of little service to anyone for several weeks to come. |
