Portland won yesterday's game from
Tacoma In the third Inning, -when Van
Buren sent- the ball ,over rightfield fence
and brought in two runs, giving the locals
the lead that won the game. 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. ; . '

of land, all of which is claimed to be

of proof, place the burden on them.
