When MeCredle's Beavers op«n UP
their week's series with the Seals this
afternoon at San Francisco every fan
In Portland will be praying that the
Oregoniana take the series from Moh
ler's men. By a consistent winning
streak in the last two series the Port
land team has jumped into a position
where they have just the ghost of a
chance to take the pennant away from
the Seals They will have to win far
more than a majority of their games,
and the Seal! will have to lose almost
all of theirs if the Beavers grab the
pennant. Therefore, while the men
from the extreme north have a chance,
it is so slight that there seems littlu
probability of any change occunng in
first and second place.
Standings Se«m Fixed
For that matter, with only two weeks
more in the schedule, every team has
landed in the place in which it will
finish at the season's end, unless then'
is a big upheaval. The Angels have
no chance to take second place from
Portland, and the Senators are so far
behind the Dillonites that they will
stick in the fourth position. Oakland Is
Bow safely in fifth place, with no pos-]
eible chance of dislodging Sacramento,
ami Vcrnon will remain in the cellar
position. Happy Horan must be con
tent to finish last this year, and it is
no discredit to him that he is on the
tail end, for he has been handicapped
Jp forming his team and in playing
throughout, the season with an ln*d«
quati- Held t.i back his pitching staff, j
which is good enough for any team.
Oaks' Last Games Hare
This afternoon at Vernon field the j
Oakland team will open its last series
In the BOUth, playing a week's engage
ment with the Angels. They will be
(allowed by Portland, and that series
■v ill be the closing play of the season.
At Sacramento the Solons are sched
uled to play Vernon today. At the
cJose of this pr-Hes the Hoganltes will
go to San Francisco, where they will
wind up the year. The fans of Sacra
mento will see their last coast league
games of the season this week, for
when the two contending teams leave
after Sunday's game the season at the
capital city will have been finished. The
northern fans have taken kindly to or
ganized baseball, have supported Gra
ham's team right royally, and with the
promised improvements in the way of
new grounds and better transportation
facilities they look for a highly sue-
Cfssful season in 1910.
Struggle for Medul •
Interest locally has centered in the
outcome of the fight between the free
bitting members of the Los Angeles
and Vernon teams, for possession of the
diamond medal offered to the player
■who has participated in at least fifty
grimes with the highest average this
aeagon. Left fielder Martinke of Ver
non now has an >'dge on his mates In
both teams, hut John Beall of the An
gels is close up. His batting feats Sun
day against Sacramento gave him a big
boost, and he should fatten his stand
ing against the Oakland pitchers. Beall
)>y <;pnpist'>nt hitting from now until
the season's end should win the medal.

SOUTHERN WRESTLER LOSES
PORTLAND. Ore., Oct. 18.—John
Berg, light heavyweight wrestling
champion of the Pacific coast, tonight
defeated Walt Evans, holding the
same title of tho south, taking' the
■jacond and third falls. The tlrst bout,
which lasted twenty-seven minutes
and ended in victory ror Evans, de
veloped some of the best wrestling
ever seen here. Evans proved himself
wonderfully fast and clever and se
cured half a dozen holds of various
sorts on Berg, finally putting his
shoulders to tho mat with a body
scissors.
The second went to Berg In six
minutes on a toe hold. Evans gave up
after his opponent had punished him
terribly for several minutes with the
deadly toe hold. The last fall, while
It lasted twelve minutes, was com
paratively easy for Berg, who put his
man to the mat with a combined body
and head hold.

to which may be attributed the num

The first of these is the observation of

While there is no championship buz

training camp, the members of the caret
arranged by the' Pacific Athletic club
for next Friday night are hammering
steadily away, and as four bummnls
contests are scheduled the quarters of
the boxers are objective points for those
fans who desire to get an early view of
their favorites., Not for many a month
has a busier quartet of heavyweights
been engaged in preparations for ring
events. One new man will be given his
premiere in the Nau<| ring; the others
have appeared here before, and those
who have followed the fight game are
8 ware that every man Jack of them can
and will fight as long as lie is able.
A day's round of the conditioning
camps brings evidence that the rlngsid
ers next Flrday evening will see several
bitter bouts. Heavyweight battles al
ways find favor with the patrons of the
game and in the card prepared for mid-
October there will be all the fighting it
will be possible to crowd into thirty-six
rounds.
Battling Russian Still Good
The return to the local ring of Bat- .
tling Johnson, with his health restored
and all the vigor of his massive frame
stored up ready to be drawn against
the husky newcomer, Jack Geyer, has
aroused a deal of interest In the pro
pram. Johnson has never been a stel
lar performer, but the fans have al
ways been sure of a rousing scrap when
he steps Into the ring. He is game ot
the core, can take and has taken a fear
ful lacing, and will keep going until he
is knocked out or the police stop the
fight, Geyer is big enough and rangy
enough to give him a stiff argument.
Jack Steberg'B manager, Billy Hart, re
sponded "Walt a bit," when Geyer was
proposed as • Sieberg's next opponent,
which shows that the big German and
his trainer have some little respect for
the ring ability of the former amateur
heavyweight. Geyer, so the camp fol
lowers whisper, put Sieberg on the mat
in training for the Burns fight, and
then be was sidestepped as a sparring
partner. If Jack performs up to his
reputation, the bout with Battling
Johnson will be a repetition of those
rousing Flynn-Johnson mlxups which
found the fans on their seats yelling
like mad during the greater part of the
milling.
Chance for Sieberg
Jim Cameron will be given one more
chance to exhibit the real l.ghting cali
ber he claims. Against Jack Sieberg
he will have to stop stalling and fight
ing cautiously for a decision. The big
Sieberg, though he lost caste by hla
defeat at the hands of Jack Burns,
revertheless Is a dangerous man
against any slow big fellow. He has
a wallop that is backed by the force
which takes titles away from fighters.
Sieberg telegraphs his blows, but be
cause of his hitting power is no easy
mark. If he connects with Cameron's
jaw, as he did against Burns in that
first round, the black man will be
counting chickens until they dash the
cokl water in his face to bring him to.
Though the two heavyweight bouts
are apparently overshadowing the con
test billed as the main event, the fans
may expect a pretty struggle when
Sam Coulter and Charlie Norvel, the
Montana lightweight, meet In the
windup. They will make.the light
weight figure. Coulter has hart two
professional fights, and so far his rec
ord is clean. He is matched against a
clever and hitting lad, whose snappy
style of punching has won him many
admirers, and if Sam gets away with
Norvel he will be given a fight with a
lightweight of recognized class.
Training Camps Busy
At Venice three of the boxers are
training for the fights on the 22d and
29th. Jack Sieberg and Jack Burns
boxed four rounds in spirited style,
after which Jack Burns hooked up
with Dick Allen, the heavy amateur of
the Los Angeles Athletic club. Nor
vel boxed live sessions with Frankia
Harris, and appeared to be in fine
shape for his go with Sam Coulter.
Doyle's also was a busy place for the
fighters. Bam Coulter put on the mitts
with Montana Kid for four rounds and
went through his stunts at a fast gait.
Jim Flynn, endeavoring to get speed,

Battling Johnson has foresworn tor

in a local ring months ago. Battling
Johnson fell a victim to Freddie

Anyway, Bat took to the diet. He

lads defeated the Claremont preps
football team by the score of 28-6.
The visitors outweighed the local lads,
\»ho were handicapped by having no
regular coach, and bucked the line at
will. The U. S. C. also had a good
repetoire of players and worked the
forward pass to advantage, being ex
ceedingly adept at recovering the ball.
The first touchdown was made at the
end of five minutes' play. Several end
runs, line bucks, a forward pass and a
clever double pass putting the Los
Angeles men over the Una. The goal
WM missed. After this the preps ral
lied and their opponents were ten min
utes in making the next touchdown,
and again failed to kick goal. The
third was the result of a bad pass by
the local center to Men-lam, who was
punting, and tho academy scored an
other easy one.
In the second half the academy
scored three more, using onside kicks
and winning by the punting game.
Pomona's only touchdown was made
In this half, when Malone, getting the
ball on an ohside kit k and aided by
the good interference of Wire, ran
sixty-five yards for the touchdown,
Merriam kicking goal. For the visit
ors Chalmlee, Halloway and Wallace

racing has changed somewhat in the
United States, by reason of the pass
age of stringent laws, and there will

restrictions will make Juarez look a
mighty good spot for the cold months.

thoroughbred. A liberal policy Is be

tion and purse distribution, and the
stakes that close October 4 are sure to
meet with a hearty response.

Make Trip to Top of the
Peak
