4 BASEBALL RACING BOXING ATHLETICS THORSEN TWIRLS FIFTH STRAIGHT ADDS ANOTHER TO LONG VIC TORY LIST PORTLAND GETS ONLY TWO HITS OFF HIM Angel Stickers Bat Carson Out of Box in Two Innings, and Young Standby Is Always Puzzle to the Beavers Los Angeles 5. Portland 1 This Thorsen thins is getting c be a matter of course. Once ion a time, not. more than a month ago, to be ex plicit, there was a young pitcher who hadn't done very well In his work in the box. lie had failed to win a game for his team, and when he came to bat he was laughed at. People talked to him without thought that sensitive ness had any part in his make up. They eaid things to him they thought were funny, and, of course, being bleacher ites, got away with it. Yesterday after noon that same young pitcher walked to the plate in the first Inning, and Um pire Van Haltren had to suspend oper ations for just the few seconds neces sary to bring it forcibly to mind that a ball player was being given a hearty reception. Reason? Thorsen was about to win his fifth straight game. All of which shows that some people can be good judges of a ball player all the time, all the people can size 'em up some of the time, but Ivs impossible for them to get together long enough so that nil the people measure them correctly all the time. Thorsen Is Ripening Elmer Thorscn is ripening. lie is' Improving every game he pitches. At his present record about his second | game next week he Is liable to smash a few world's records. Just two hits were garnered off the delivery of the | Illinois pitcher yesterday, and both came In one inning, bringing in the score that saved the Beavers from a shutout. For eight Innings out of the nine Thorsen pitched steel-riveted ball, clamping the lid of the northerners so effectively that only a limited and choice number of the visitor reached first bug. Only one man got to third, \ and this was Johnson, who scored in I the seventh inning on his single to left, ! his steal, and Spens' hard double to left. And the Portlandera were lucky to get that score. Four Errors by Beavers Four errors on the Beaver sheet, and the wildness of Carson, who started the game for MeCredle, gave the Angels an easy time of it. Clever base work j by the Angels accounted for two runs ■which were chalked up In the opening period, and this so bothered Carson that he was stung for another, and then ho was replaced by Quyn in the third. The youngster was good, but was hit freely, although he kept the swats well scattered Into the seven Innings he acted. Godwin, second tip for the Champs, lined one to Olson and reached sec ond safely when the Spiker boy heaved wild to first. Wheeler's double to right put Godwin over the pan, and Beall singled infield, sending Wheeler | to third. Then tlm Angel acting cap- 1 tain and his mate signaled for a double steal, worked It to a beautiful completion, and Wheeler drew another tally on the play. Locals Add Another In the second the locals added an- i other. Delmas was passed to first by the now demoralized Carson, Thorsen sacrificed, and Daley seorel Del on a single to right, placing It just where it would do the most good. Two hits j netted nothing in the next inning, and | then the Berry men tallied their two I final scores. Thorsen reached first ' safely when Cooney made a pretty j boot of the ball, executing about as neat a fumble as the fans have seen, i Daley walked and Godwin singled in field, filling the bases. Then Wheeler hit to Johnson, who returned to Fisher, Thorsen being forced at the plate. But Fisher was over-anxious to complete a double play anil when he rammed the ball t> third to finish It up, he made such a wild fling that Daley and Godwin scored, and Wheeler reached third. This wound It up, though Guyn had a couple of narrow squeaks thereafter.

HANDBALL CHAMPION WWWHHWWWM LOU GUERNSEY, L. A. A. C. I Gordo Whalen Decisively Defeated In Brilliant Contest, 21.8—Winner Is Holder of Coveted Garbutt Trophy In one of the fastest handball games] ever witnessed at the Los Angeles Ath- i . letlc club, Lou Guernsey, challenger, defeated yesterday afternoon Gordo Whalen, for four years holder of the perpetual Frank Garbutt cup. From the beginning of the game Guernsey played In phenomenal form, using his ! left hand with telling effect and making i a series of spectacular kills. Although i Whalen has been practicing regularly j for the match, Guernsey clearly demon . strated his superior ability by outgen eraling his opponent at every stage of ! the game. Despite the fact that Gordo entered : the lists a hot favorite, within ten min utes the challenger had run up thir teen points against him, and steadily increased his lead until the last of the necessary twenty-one tallies had been recorded. For a few minutes it ap ■ peared 'us though Whalen might rally, but Guernsey never weakened, the final scoring being 21 to 8. Although Guern- Bey has long been considered one of the best handball players of the club, J it was not believed by the majority of t fans who witnessed his practice games j that he would prove a match for the speedy champion. Guernsey's placing of the ball nnd splendid generalship brought rounds of applause from the large crowd of spectators who wit- j nessed the contest. The Frank Garbutt trophy, a hand pome three-handled silver cup, is a per petual prize for the premier handball artist of the club. This cup has been held since 190G by W. D. (Gordo) Wha len, having been won the first time in an open tournament. In 1907 Whalen defeated Samuel C. Hall, and twice dur ! ing the present year has Whalen suc cessfully defended his title, once in con test with Ray Dunnigan, and the sec i ond time in a match wi\h W. R. Rey nolds. In none of these matches was Whalen forced to exert himself. In addition to becoming possessor of the Garbutt trophy, Guernsey by his defeat of Whalen won a beautiful stein offered by Nordllnger & Bon, Jewelers. The stein is about twelve inches in height and is of oak, flligreed with a solid silver design. Handball is all the rage at the L. A. | A. C. at present, and it is more than 1 | likely that Guernsey will be called! I upon to defend his newly acquired title ] before many suns have set. ♦ » » MAY SUTTON TAKES MATCH IN TWO SETS Easily Defeats Opponent In Singles Play at Niagara-on.the.Lake.

DUNNING JOCKEY'S SUSPENSION CAUSES SENSATION Indefinite Sentence Sounds Ominous to Turfmen, Who Delieve Serious . Matter Is Behind Action at Saratoga SARATOGA, .V. V.. Aui:. 27.—The in definite suspension of Vincent Powers, the star Jockey of the west.'has caused a sensation in turf circles. The term "indefinite suspension" bears an omin ous sound to turfmen, as once that has been given to a Jockey it is very sel dom that he manages to get back into the fold. In ordering the suspension of Powers, the Jockey club mentions the unsatis factory ride lie gave Fauntleroy In the United States Hotel stakes on Satur day, but It is believed that there is something else in the case. That the jockey club gave Powers this indeter minate sentence for his ride on Faunt leroy Is not considered seriously. It has always been the rule of the Jockey club to act at an unexpected moment, and it remains to be discovered whether they have ever made a mis take In a matter of this kind. When Powers was riding at Los An geles last winter he got in trouble with the officials and they kept him on the ground (or some time. Long shots had an Inning at Para toga today and form players received | a hard blow. Chief Interest centered i lin the handicap at a mile and an eighth, in which only two horses faced the starter.

Timely Topics fT} HH Pacific coast may see some of the foremost ball players in the -*- world gathered on one team play- Ing the Los Angeles and San Fran cisco teams of the Coast league, ac cording to plans at present under con sideration. Eastern magnates ha\e written to the coast to propose a junil into the west, and a series of games before the western fans from Portland to LOU Angeles. In a lettter reerived yesterday by Henry Kerry from J. Cal Swing, president Of the Coast league, these plans are given dentiito nhape, though It is probable that they will be much modified. It is proposed that the Chicago Nationals or the Pittsburg Pirates come west, and that a team Composed <pf the western lads playing now In the big brush be made up, such men as Oakes, Kasterly, Ellis, Cra vath, Groom, Gray. Burns, AtS, Over all, Krause, Arrelanea, Chase and Chance being included. This array of stars is overwhelmingly classy. It i 9 planned to bring these two teams, the western all-stars and one of the big league organizations to the Pacific coast, playing a series of post-season ' games, and then form a league to play until the first of the year. The nr rangement for a post-season series with one or both of these teams prob &bly will be concluded, but there is lit tle likelihood that the league plan will be favorably considered by the western magnates, for. like everything else, baseball becomes nn added attraction if not crammed down the throats of the fans. There Is one brand of prize fighter with which I.os Angeles unfortunately Is afflicted In large numbers. This is the newspaper fighter—he does bis ring work by constantly standing at the el bow of the sporting editor, suggesting his worth and ability, until that much tried Individual becomes heartily sick of It and either mildly sugge.-ts that he go in and make a. name for bltnself, or rises In his wrath and ventures the hint that the outside of the office looks bigger than the Inside—tf viewed from the outside. Nine times out of ten the fighter who arrives In town and smil ingly presents himself at the first op portunity to the scribe who does fights —and a few thousand other things, of which the general public wots not— that fighter is tho one, almost without exception, who, when the rub comes, falls down most miserably. It Is a good filing for tho rlngman to nppre clate tho value of a "story" wherein they figure as tho chief topic of con versation, even to the relations of the kind of hose they wear nt receptions In their honor, and what kind of hair oil they use. But It is a far better thing for a fighter to step intn tho ring Rnd gain his reputation ns a simon-pure.

Dunning dyod-ln-the-wool scrapper, willing and gome nnd clover. This is (he lad who ■UCC Is. He will be eating turkey and wearing searchlights on his breast when the publicity glovester la dining off "coffee and." He will bo stowing away a little bank account—if he Is wise when the other mun. he of the talkative vein. Is hanging onto the sign over the sanctum sanctorum of the sporting editor, anxiously seeking to squeeze a word Into type regarding his prospects or his reasons for the last de feat. There is too much of this anxiety to rush Into print. Here Is a little tip which the wise lads who nre young storu just starting in, and aro eager to make a name for themselves, will do well to heed. Keep away from a news paper otllee unless you have something worth While to tell. Do your work In the gym, not over the shoulders of the Offloe boy of a newspaper. Get into shape, fight your level best, nnd take the consequences. If you lose, don't holler, for It is such a mOSS-gTOWn tale—that about the broken arm, the cold and the. lack of time to train. In short, light your battles in tho ring, not on paper. While we are on this subject of pub licity It might be well to branch off cm to I lie baseball side of tilt' matter. It will be found that although baseball players are absolutely dependent on publicity of thoir accomplishments for many of their advancements, such a persistent seekor after attention as out lined nbovo Is so rare in the baseball field that the few examples on record stand out like a diamond In a coal heap —which, by the way, In no manner re fers to the profession In slanderous terms, being merely illustrative of tho point taken. No ball player likes to l>o slighted When be has made a sensational play or has hit like a flenl In a game. Every player In fact likes to receive merited notice. Some say they don't, but they are the ones who pick up the paper first in the morning. Others frankly admit they want nil the advertising they can get, for tho good business reason that it may mean a better Job and a bigger salary. Hundreds of minor ioaguers nre yearly brought into ihe big brush by faithful narrative of their feats a-field. But they don't hang around a writer or his office to get this attention. They get out and play ball. There is one example hot off the coals. Elmor Thorsen, the young Los Angeles pitcher, though a genial young soul, never spoke a dozen consecutive words to a newspaper man in his life regard- Ing his work. He grinned when he was mildly panned for lacking control. He grinned when they ran his picture, and said "Well done," and lie la still smil ing and ' winning games. There are thousands like him. Would that the same yould be said of pugilism.
