After that great hit each side scored a run apiece with the assistance of a bunch of errors. The weather wan somewhat cooler than It had been on the. two days previous, and Just In shape to please the ball-players, but at times tho game dragged along rather slowly, and then the grandstand had to fall back on a corpulent gentle man from the land of beer steins and sauer kraut who was pulling for tho Tigers to furnish amusement. Each team presented a new catcher to the fans. Portland's nsw man was 'Shea, a California boy, who has been playing with the Pendleton team this season. Tie new man will take Manager Vlgneux's place while the Portland catcher Is out with his split finger. Shea arrived after an all-night trip on the road, and went Into the game within a couple of hours after his arrival. He played a good game, and the way he threw down to second quite won the hearts of the Portland fans. Three men died at second through his assistance, and all of these stood a fair chance to score. Besides his throw ing, he backed "Witbeck up in great style. Keefe made his first appearance with Ta coma for this series. He was with the team before, but hurt his foot, and was left behind when the nine came here. However, when Zimmerman did not show up in form Keefe was sent for to go be hind the bat. Keefe is a good catcher and supports his pitchers in every "way, and at the same time jollies up the whole team. Witbeck was not up to his usual form and did not hold the hits down as he gen erally does. He has been playing In rath er hard luck during this series, and hat come out considerably bruised. In the opening game, Harmon hit him in the right shoulder, and that made his pitch ing arm a little sore, and then In Thurs day's .game he had a fall in coming hoirfe and hurt the other shoulder and ankle; so he was hardly in condition to pitch. "White was in good form, but when the loc&ls hit him they hit him hard, and half of the connections made with his delivery were for extra bases. "Weed is still out of the game, and Harris again played first. The only feature of the first two inn ings was Shea's throwing out two Tigers at second, amid great applause. The third inning won the game for the locals, for, without "Van Buren's homer, the boys would undoubtedly have been In a poor position. Muller, the second man up, got to first on an error of Fisher's. As Van Buren came to the bat, one of the high officers in the Society of Home-Team Knockers, which has quite an extensive membership, dropped the remark that Van never had made a home run, and never could. The big "Rube" must have overheard the statement, as ho changed his usual bunting tactics and landed on the ball, and it went sailing out toward the post that marks the foul line of the right field fence. It Just hit the top of the fence, bounded against a sign adver tising some one's syrup, and then Instead of dropping down Into Mr. Murdock's hands, slid down the outside of the fence and Muller and Van Buren came In for the opening runs of the game. It looked as if Portland would score again in the fourth, and they probably would have if Harris had not been sd anxious to reach second base after rap ping the -sphere to centerfield. In his hur ry Harris forgot that the rules required him to touch the first bag. and he took a short cut around the corner.' Two of the men following him hit the ball along the infield in such a manner that Harris would have had little trouble in getting home. Poor Harris. There is a saying that troubles never do come singly, and in his case the proverb is correct. In the next inning McCarthy got a safe hit and landed on first. Then Witbeck com menced throwing the ball to Harris so the crowd could watch McCarthy do a circus stunt, sliding back to the bag. The first two or three movements went all right, but then Harris failed to hold the ball, and McCarthy chased to second. Fisher seemed to like the looks of the first baseman's work, so ho sent the ball skimming along the diamond straight for Harris, but when that gentleman tried to pick up tho ball, ho did not find it an easy task, and the leather rolled away from him. As he stopped to shake his hand and remark, "Oh! fudge!" the ball went still further, and by the time -he picked It up McCarthy had scored. Portland had a close call in the sev enth, but pulled out without letting in a run. Fisher opened up by landing safely on first. Keefe struck out, and White had his shirt hit by the ball and walked to first. Then the dangerous side of the situation became apparent when Xetcher came to the bat. but the long-legged fielder gave Van Buren a nice fly. and somewhat relieved the strain. Nagle fell In line with a hit to left field that filled the bags with two out, and Murdock. a star hitter, came up next. He smashed a warm one Into Deisel, who fielded it prettily to Anderson, and the work end ed. A little bunch of errors let Anderson come in for Portland in the next inning. He got to first on a safe hit and ZIogler sacrificed - him to second. Then Harris sent tho ball to McCarthy, who Juggled it, and Anderson came racing home. The short stop recovered himself to throw the ball to the plate in time to get the runner by several feet, but Keefe could not hold the ball. Cunningham will make "his first appear ance in the box for the locals today. The fans have been waiting patiently ever since the little fellow has been signed by the local club to see him work in the box. and all have the greatest confidence In his success. Bert Cunningham Is one of the most popular men In the North- t baseball world, and the Portland club certainly didj the right thing to please Its patrons jWhen it signed him to do slab work. ; .
