It took Lehman's Commuters Just two Innings to win tho game and place It in cold storage. Ike Butler faced the Californlans and the hingle-fest began with Ganley, the first man to face him. Three other singles fol lowed, which, coupled with bad throws by both Butler and Klrby Drennan, gave Oakland three runs. Ely's Clerks went out in order and it was ripe for Oakland's second killing. Devereaux, whose funmaklng kept the crowd from quitting the game early In the session, was ozoned in the second In ning and for one brief spell it looked as If Butler's usual bad Inning was over. But It wasn't, for His "Wrinkles, Peter Lob man, slashed out a single, and the old campaigner romped to second when Beck failed to trap Schmidt's grassburner. This was the beginning of a bundle of baseball pyrotechnics; and when tho celebration was over the Commuters had chased four more runs over tho pan. Lohman and Schmidt were dancing on the sacks. Gan ley could do nothing better than fly out to Castro. Francis made a mess of Franck's attempt to murder the ball, and this mlsplay allowed Lohman to reach third. Kruger, who Is clouting the ball on the nose, rapped out a single, sending In both Lohman and Schmidt. This should have been enough, but Doc Mosklman, who had Just relieved Oscar Graham in the left garden, bumped a Butler offering for two sacks. Francks scored and In the general melee and con fusion Kruger, who had broken the rec ord on touching corners, sneaked past Steelman, scoring the fourth run. Steel man must have forgotten that Kruger made the third man on bases, for when Oom Paul stole swiftly behind him and touched the plate, Portland's backstop was striving madly in order to keep Mos klman at second. The handful of fans were blue on tho outside from the cold, but when they saw the Oakland German, successfully pull off that theft at the plate they "became blue within. Murphy, who made his initial bow to local spectators by taking Nadeau's sta tion, got as far as third, after he had stopped one of Schmidt's curves Tvlth his Insanity bump. Ike Francis' single put him there, but It counted for nothing, because tTv'ojRrerealready down, and Steel man fouled, .out toDevereaux. Portland's half of the third inning was yet to come. SfButler, determined to get back some ofjfiisilost glory, singled, but Drenna&'wh'djtiad1 a disastrous day, was an easy ouC McCreedle placed a clean single to left, and Butler scored when Freeman hit into safe territory. Then came tho mighty Castro, with his long black bat, and he cleaned the sacks with a two-bagger that was a pippin. Murphy pot down on an error by Francks. He stole second, but neither Beck nor Fran cis could connect safely, and the last chance to score passed into history. That big, husky Schmidt don't you fans which he was -on Portland's payroll closed up like a kid's pocket-knife. Mc Creedle was the only Clerk to And him after that Inning, and that long blngle came In the fifth. After that it was a case of one, two, three and back to the field Rrtth the locals: The score: PORTLAND. AB, Drennan. cf. 4 McCreedie. rf. 4 Freeman, lb 4 Castro, ss 4 Murphy. If. 3 Beck. 2b 4 R.

The crack Portland Academy baseball team did not know what to make of It yesterday afternoon when Bishop Scott Academy touched it up to the tune of 5 to 2. The B. S. A. has not been accounted strong this year and the academy players thought It would be easy billiards to line them up and hand them out a row of goose eggs, but It could not be done. Hulbert was In the box for P. A. when the game opened, but did not last. Cross knocked a three-bagger off him as a starter and Hurlburt followed with a two-bagger bringing Cross in. Tooze sac rificed, sending Hurlburt to third. "When Schmidt made a safe hit Hulbert went out and Fenton tried to see what he could do to stop tho slaughter, but Downs sent a safe bit into left. This being fumbled, Hurlburt and Schmidt came In. That ended doings for that Inning. The P. A. got two safe hits in its half of the first, but only got one run out of it. B. S. A. did the same In the beginning of the second. In the beginning of the fourth B. S. A. made a run on a wild throw to first, Morrison coming in. That ended the scoring for some time, the batters going out easily. But when the last of the ninth came and P. A. saw defeat uncomfortably near, there seemed to be a slight brace for a while, but the only run was made on a passed ball. Score: T TT IE B. S. A 310100 00 0-5 5 3 P.

ELY IS SUSTAINED Directors and Managers Get Together TO CHECK LOSING STREAK Spencer Will Go In at Second While Beck Rests Up-Nadeau's Case Is Undetermined, but He May Soon Be in the Game. Tou ballplayers on the Portland team, you fans who have been howling, hear this: Fred Ely is to remain manager of the Browns. Messrs. players, let this bit of early morning news sink deep, and get in and play ball the kind you know how to play, for If you don't, the ax man is sure to catch you. And to the good old fans, those of you who have been groan ing In your sleep and saying things un mentionable about the players and the management Just turn over, for the base ball machinery of the club has been well oiled and the long-looked-for winning streak Is to be the hope realized. Last night the directors of the club got together for the first time since the sea son opened. Fred Ely made his report to the directors, and It covered In detail all the haps and the mishaps which have taken place since the team went Into training at Bakersfield. This report waa most exhaustive, and It placed a differ ent complexion upon the whole situation, so much so that Ely's management from beginning to end was unanimously In dorsed by tho entire directorate. The meeting was held at the offices of Bauer & Greene. Ed' Lyons was in the chair, and there were present Fred Ely, Ben C. Ely, John C. Alnsworth, A. H. Devers and J. F. Richards. Max Flelschner and F. A. Spencer were Invited to attend the meeting, but previous engagements pre vented them from being present Letters were received from them stating their views on the present situation and indors ing Fred Ely's management The meet ing was without friction and ended In a sort of love-feast and with a better un derstanding all around. The slogan now Is: "Let's get in and give the fans good baseball and all pull together."' This Is one of the wisest moves yet made. There Is no question but that the continued losing streak which befell the team down south had a ten dency to disorganize It; then when Ely took sick the balloon went up proper. The team was in a bad way without a guiding hand, and then when it returned home, the stories began to float around. For the most part they were one-sided, because Manager Ely was too 111 to tell his side, and the natural sequence was that rumors of a change of management were scattered broadcast The persist ency of this rumor was based upon the story that Ely's Illness was so serious that It would be impossible for him again to asusmo control of the team. Up until the return of the team and Ely's pro tracted illness there had been no talk of disposing of him, nor was there much said about his management of the team. One thing Is sure, that is, Fred Ely has had his own troubles. Handling a ball team, and a losing one, at that Is not a holiday affair, and when Ely attempted to carry the weight of the team on his shoul ders, he broke down. He Is a good ball player, and when In condition, he will either go In at short and move Castro to second, or he will play at second base. Ely has decided to give young Spencer a chance to make good, and today the youngster will take Beck's place at second. Beck will be given a chance to rest up and get Tnto condition. Just what will be done with Nadeau has not been deter mined upon, but it Is expected that he will be back in the game shortly. Nadeau may not bo missed much in left field, but his absence Is painfully apparent at the bat Phil Is a corking good ballplayer, and every fan sincerely hopes that he will soon be able to settle his differences with Ely and again be playing his position. It is not generally known, but Seattle is holding up $1200 of the club's money, Portland's share of last week's gate re celpts at Seattle. "When Dugdale was bought out It was understood that each club was to come through with something like $200. This was on the old club, and yet the club, under Ely, is expected to set tle. The matter now Is up to President Bert In the meantime Seattle is holding the whole 51200, because Ben Ely refused to give up the $200. ENTRIES FOR BIG RACE.

PERU "WTEL MAKE RESISTANCE Brazilian Aggression Is Declared to Be Wholly Unjust. LIMA, Peru, May 4. Regarding the ex isting troubles between Brazil and Peru, Foreign Minister Pardo stated to the As sociated Press today that his government was preparing to resist the "unjust ag gression of Brazil." It was, Senor Pardo assured, a political whim of Baron Rio Branco, Brazil's Foreign Minister, to annex the territories of Alto Jurua and Alto Purus, Inventing as a basis for such action stories of Peruvian Invasions, and Brazil, Minister Pardo said, had now sent troo'ps to oc cupy the coveted regions. The truth, said Senor Pardo, is that Peru has never moved from points she has occupied for many years, and In proof of this he as serted that when Brazil opposed the for mation of the Acre Syndicate her Foreign Office urged as the principal argument against the concession the rights of Peru to the very same territory. "Yet, a few months later," concluded Minister Pardo, "Baron Rio Branco for got Brazil's words and decided to occupy this territory which had previously been declared to be Peruvian but it Is very rich in -caoutchouc."
