Spe Vclal.) Sam Morris, tho Indian twlrler, ipltched like a demon for seven Innings to (day and none of the Senators could dcya Ithlng with his delivery, although two lEcratchy hits were made off him that iehould never have been made. In the eighth Inning, however, the Senators seemed at last to have taken his measure, Jand they bunched four hits on him that iscored three runs to the delight of the Ummense crowd. They succeeded In getting ftwo more runs In the ninth Inning that 'assured them the victory. Up to the sev enth Inning the game had all the flavor of another victory for the gritty Portlands, and Manager Mlque was on the equlrm. 'Thomas was being hit freely, and -although by good luck no runs were made, still there was always the uncertainty existing that a batting rally would come at any moment, and In consequence the Jo cal fans were on tenterhooks the whole Htlme. The Browns got their first man over "the rubber in the fifth Inning when Blake drove out a double to left field and scored on Eagan's wild throw. In the eighth Hol llngsworth drove a double to center field and scored on Elsey's double that went to the same locality. In the ninth Blake (bounced one down on the ground that jwent 20 feet in the air and he heat It out. A single by Van Buren sent him to sec ond base and another single by Francis cored him. With the Senators, nothing was doing until the eighth when Hildebrand, the first man up, drove a three-bagger to right field and scored on McLaughlin's single to left. McLaughlin went to sec ond when the ball got away from Nadeau land scored on "Eagan's single. Townsend sacrificed Eagan to second, he went to third on Sheehan's out, and scored on Doyle's single. In the last inning Thomas iwalked and went to third on Casey's hit 4.0 right field, scoring on Blake's wild throw, Casey reaching second on the play end crossing the rubber on McLaughlin's 'triple.

The Oak 'land and Seattle ballplayers ended their series of games today, tho Oaklands win ning five of the seven contests. The morn ing game resulted In a tie after ten in nings of good ball. Both Moskiman and St Vraln were at their best and after the third Inning not a run was made. The . game was called at the end of the tenth inning on account of time allowance. The afternoon struggle was a sloppy exhibition, and Oakland cinched the re sult In the third inning, when Barber was walloped hard, and his fielders re fused to work in harmony. Seattle got all , Its runs through the wildness of Graham. The score: First game R H E 'Oakland 0 10000000 0-1 4 i Seattle 0 010 0 0 0 0 0 01 9 1 Batteries Moskiman and Gorton; St Vraln and Wilson.

The New Yorker came within an ace of beating Turner, and if the articles hadn't called for a draw at the end of 20 rounds in case both men were on their feet the decision would have gone to Selger. Roach is after Jimmy Brltt's scalp, and If he is given half a chance he will pit his man against the clever Callfornlan. Ho qui am Defeats Montesano. HOQUIAM, Sept 13. (Special.)

Manager of L'ocal Team Will Have to Explain Slump to Board 1 of Directors. Sammy VIgneux. with a bat-bag full of explanations and his collection of Brown birds, is on the rail bound for Portland and journeying in the same di rection for the coming series Is Parke Wilson and his band t)f Siwash warriors. Both teams will bring new faces to town this aeries. With the Browns are Loucks and Elsey the Indian doesn't count, be cause he is no stranger. With Wilson comes Kid Mohler and Lumley, both of whom have been attracting a great deal of attention among the Southern fans. While Loucks and Elsey are known to many of the local fans, neither Mohler nor Lumley have been in Portland. With Wilson will also come three Portland favorites Smith, Zinssar and Jay An drews. Before tho two teams get into action Vigneux will be called upon to do his little carpet stunt He will be as full of excuses as a sieve Is full of boles, and will undoubtedly be able to prove an ELECTED AN HONORARY MEMBER OF MULTNOMAH CLUB HERBERT W. KERRIGAN. v At a meeting of the Multnomah Athletic Club, held last week, .tho officers of tho-club presented Herbert W. Kerrigan with ' a pleasant surprise in the nature of an honorary membership. Kerrigan Is ono of the best-known ath letes on the coast He was born in Portland 23 years aso, and since 1S93 he has taken an active part Jn track and Held sports. It was not until 1S04. however, that he began to make a name for himself, but since then he has been an indefatigable worker, and it has been mainly through his tireless efforts that-local athletics have reached their present high standing. Kerri gan became a member of tho Multnomah Club In 1804. and since that time he has participated in practically all of the athletic events held. under the auspices of the club. He holds at presont the Coast championship for the high Jump, the world's record for the hlgn" 'dive, and also the record for tho long dive. Kerrigan's life membership In tho Multnomah Club Is given him in -appreciation of hlsl&ng services In dlMtfting the club athletics; in short' if It had not been for Kerrigan during the past couple of years, tho tourament3 which have been a feature in. the club's history, would have, stopped - alto gether. 1 t " alibi. Sammy Is rather a shifty "ex plainer," and he will, there Is no doubt, prove conclusively that all the talk nbout the cliques and factions on his team are simply "pipe dreams" cooked up by prejudiced scribes and disgruntled and jealous fans and ball-players. When the change in the officials of tho club took place. VIgneux, who proclaimed loudly that heretofore he had been man ager only In name and without authority, was given full control of the team and also given a month In which to make good. Opinions will differ as to whether Vigneux has made good as a manager' during the past month. It Is, perhaps. well for him that the matter Is left to the club officials and not to a vote of the local fans. If the passing of Judgment rested With the majority of the fans, the betting would be against Vigneux. WhlsDerinsr Phil Nadeau Is still lpnrHnr- the leacrue in battlnsr.

"I look -to see baseball rarries nlarod on the tops of these high buildings in the big cities before I get-out of 'the game. Ground rents are getting so high that clubs will be forced to do something like that in order to be within easy reach of business men." . "The" thing is not hard to do from a mechanical standpoint," added Jay Hughes. "Some of those big: buildings in Ney York are almost big enough for a game now. Any way, several of them about the same height could be connected. Look at what a time the"- American League had getting grounds in New York. "There Is one drawback I can ,see al ready," remarked Wilson. "If anybody hit a ball oft the roof and It fell 15 or 20 stories it would kill a man deader than a mackerel below." "Well, they could put up big wire net tings, couldn't they 7" answered Hughes. "When that time comes around we'll all be going to our seats in airships. If we're poor we'll get a bag and "let .

San Fran cisco Post . ALL IS FOOTBALL. Training Soon toBegin for Contests , on tne Gridiron. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Se attle. Sept. 13.-(SpeclaI.)-By the close of the week the University of Wash ington football practice will have been well started. Coach Knight is expected to Mturn from a short trip Into the moun tains Monday evening, and will be on the ground from that time on. Tho different players are continuing to arrive In the city, and are making ready for a hard seasons work. Captain Spldell Is more wT..y Wlin 1X16 readiness with which men are coming In for the Fall practice In response to his urgent request. It will be tho aim of both the captain and coach to have their team playing good football by the first of October. Tom McDonald and Dave Grant returned from their surveying party Saturday aft ernoon, and will be ready to take their place in tho line-up .by the end of the week. Theso two men are undoubtedly the most valuable acquisitions that' the university has made to its group of ath letic men for the last few years. Their help will be felt in every branch of the outdoor sports. - As track athletes and baseball players their records are up to any amateurs In the Northwest How ever, as yet they have played very little football, but nevertheless through their uuiuiai iLmiiy uoacn jK.nignt expects to make stars of them before the close of the season. McDonald. holds the strength record in Seattle, navlng made a total of over 5200. At present he weighs consid erably over 200. McDonald's all-round ability can be. realized from the fact that he has made 10 feet 6 In the pole vault Grant, while not as large a man as Mc Donald, Is likely as valuable. He will try for an end position, and, with his- speed and strength, should make a most formid able candidate, while his partner will at tempt to hold down one of the tackles. The schedules of games remains about the Game as decided some time ago. The contest between the Universities of Ore gon and Washington has now been defi nitely set for November 14. The game will again open up relations between the two Institutions. It has been two years since tho colleges have met In football, and the coming game 'will likely lead to a contract which provides for a series of three games. It is the Idea of a number of Oregon men, and also of those In terested In Washington athletics to pull off tho annual games In Seattle at Thanks giving. It has now become quite certain that Stanford will be In this city on tho coming Thanksgiving. While a contract has not as yet been signed, still the Cali forniums will make every attempt to come north, as they are especially anxious of locking horns with Washington. One change in the schedule that at present looks probable is a trip Into Ore gon during the early part of the Fall. The 'Varsity will meet the Oregon Agricul tural College and Willamette University, if the contemplated trip is made, about the middle of October. Coach Knight does not likeo take the teajn away from home so early, but as it is" not possible to get games In .Seattle later In the season. It win De a case ot necessity. An attempt is now being made to give tho second team a full schedule. During October it is planned to take this aggre gation into tho southwestern section of tho state, and then somewhat later take them down the Sound, playing the teams at Whatcom, Fairhaven and Port Town send. Heretofore it has always been a difficult matter to keep the second team men at their positions after It became certain that they were not to win places On the 'varsltv elhvnn.

Morris Levy began "hitting the wires" last night to locate the Dixie Kid and offer him a go with Al Nelll in .a double main event with the Hanlon-Yanger bout of September 29. Nelll was supposed to have retired from the ring, but the old longing has come back with the restoration of strength to his broken hand, and he wants to don the spangles at least once more. If Dlxey can be found and he Is believed to be at Sacramento or Stockton the card should be a strong one.
