Win French, the curly -haired, dark pyed twirler for the Portland team, who waw delegated to !lap it for McCredle yesterday, was the candy kid in the mat! nee with "Pop" Van Haltren'8 crew, and Portland had not the slightest difficulty In annexing the third straight victory from the visitors and coming out at the long end of a four-to-lwo phot on the series. French had everything, and in dishing It up to the Commuters, he was especial ly successful in preventing many safe hits, and had he been accorded perfect support In the first canto, his opponent's column headed "R" would have totaled nothing. As 1 1 was the run s c o red by Van Haltren on his dinky poke to Moore, which was1 followed by a couple of mis cues by that hard-working little catcher uillity man, Pat Donohue, did not cut much of. a figure, for Portland got the run back in the local's half, and then came to the front in the next two in nlngs by sending a trio of aces across the pan. Jimmy McHale Initiated the proceedings for the home guard by lacing one of 'I.efty" Smith's offerings to center, and by clever running, stretched a good single into a two-bagger. Sweeney ad vanced him with a sacrifice and Mike Mitchell's swat to left registered the run. It Is All Portland's Way. Moore got on ki th- third as the result of a fielder's choice and went to second while- MoCredle was being; run down by Devereaux. Francks and Cates, and came racing; over the register on Pat Dono hue's drive to left. Oscar Graham made a good peg to Chu'bby Tom Hackett, but the Columbia lad had tapped the pan and the run counted. Sweeney walked and stole second as a starter of the third Inning:, and Mike Mitchell's two-bagger drove him home. Mitchell registered a moment later on a safe one to left by Califf. who essayed the left fleJd position, owing- to Mitchell being used At first on account of the ni nes of Pete IJster, who is confined to his bed with a severe attack of la grippe. It will probably be several days before Lister will be able to resume his position. Donohue started the seventh with a hot one to Francks. and was safe. French sacrificed neatly and McHale's single placed Pat at third. McHale was caught trying to steftl, and 8weeney proved a good waiter by ambling on four wide ones. Bill took a big lead and was off at the pitch, and while he dodged back and fourth between Cates and Sunny Jim Hackett and eventually slid under the latter to safety back at first, Donohue crossed, the pan for the last run of the yame. In the meantime Oakland was helpless s gainst the excellent work of the Port land twirler who allowed only four hits, three of -Which were decidedly scratchy, and after the first Inning, had no trouble In pegging up the hprsecollars. A running one-handed catch of a long foul from Callffs bat, by Oscar Graham, nd the infield work of Sweeney and Francks were the fielding features. Will Tlck -will open up against the Can, Francisco team this afternoon. The Score In Detail. PORTLAND.

REFUSES AN APPROPRIATION Athletic Members Express Indigna tion, and Track Manager, F. E. Watkins, Resigns Chairman ship With Committee. "When Is an athletic club not an ath letic clubT" was the theme of a query being bantered amongst the members of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club last evening, and the causes leading up to the caustic remarks occasioned by the frequent repeating of the question was the action of the board of directors yes terday afternoon in deciding to cut off all appropriation for track and field ath letics, w-hich It claimed was an unneces sary expense. Their action means that for the first time since the organization of the Pa cific Northwest Amateur Athletic Union, the local club will not be represented at the annual meet of that assoclatipn. This fact has occasioned much cen sure of the board from the athletic mem bers of the club, who are Inclined to think that the action of the board will prove detrimental to the athletic feature of the local organization, as well as to the sport in the entire Northwest, for in the past Multnomah has always been looked upon as the standby of the game. Athletes Are Discouraged. Not only is it discouraging to those who have worked hard and faithfully in the club's behalf during past seasons, but it practically insures a falling off among the younger element. Every year Mult nomah has Increased its membership from the young ' men of Portland Acad emy. Portland High School, Columbia University, Hill Military Academy and other like schools, and as the recruits of this sort demand outdoor sport in an athletic club, it will be much harder to convince them of the advisability of affil iating with the organization when the grandest of outdoor exercises Is tabooed where it should be fostered and cher ished. The foregoing sentiments were freely expressed around club circles last even ing, and the action of the board was especially displeasing to the members of the outdoor athletic committee, who have been working so hard to develop new talent and prepare a team for entry in the coming games. Track Manager .Frank E. Watkins, chairman of the outdoor athletic com mittee, when asked for his opinion rela tive to the action of the board, expressed his Indignation, saying: "I have sent in my resignation as chairman of the outdoor committee, and also as track manager, and until a new and more fair-minded board of directors Is chosen I shall have nothing to do with any branch of athletics the club may see fit to be Interested in. This is final, and a communication to this effect was sent by me to the board today. Essentially Athletic Club, i "Multnomah is essentially an athletic club, and the members of this ciub have always taken a pride in the feats of the athletes of no matter what branch they embraced, and track athletics has never been one of the sports in which -the club did no shine. Ever since the organiza tion of the Pacific Northwest Amateur Athletic Association, we have had a team in competition with the other athletic organizations affiliating with that body, and In fact Multnomah has done more toward the promotion of that organiza tion than any other institution in the Northwest. Athletics at the club wtll be dropped almost entirely for the pres ent, as I believe that Interest In all branches is rapidly falling off. and until an athletic board is elected to succeed the social element board now serving, I shall withdraw from participation in any af fairs which may be promoted by the club." It had been practically decided to se cure Watkins as manager of the football team. In which capacity he has acted during the past two seasons, and had handled the affairs so successfully that he was in demand for a third term, but in view of the stand he has taken on the athletic question. It is doubtful whether he can be induced to again preside over the destinies of the gridiron club. George Gammle and Oscar Kerrigan, two of the members of the outdoor ath letic committee, are said to be heartily in accord with the sentiments expressed by Watkins. and so are the rank and file of the athletic body of the club, which would indicate that a strong campaign will be conducted toward the. election of an athletic board of directors next Feb ruary. In the meantime athletics will be tabooed as far as track and held events are concerned. GCX SHOOT AT CEXTRALIA Some of the Best Shots In the North west Take Part. CENTRALIA, Wash., May 7.

Transport Sherman Steams Away From Danger, but French Ship Daniel Is Damaged. SEATTLE. Wash.. May 7. The Ar lington dock, filled with Government suplies Intended for shipment on the transport Sherman, was destroyed by fire at 3:30 o'clock this morning. The transport Sherman, lying along side the dock, was damaged In the rigging and the masts and rigging of the French ship Daniel, lying north of the dock, were damaged before she could be taken out of the fire zone. The Corwin got off shore without In jury. Before the fire department could reach the fire the entire warehouse and dock was a mass of flames and the structure was beyond recovery. Several boxcars standing alongside the warehouse were burned. There were 16,000 sacks of oats, the trans port Sherman's supplies for her trip to the Philippines and thousands of rounds of Krag-Jorgensen cartridges stored In the warehouse. Loss of these supplies and the damage to the Sherman may delay her departure. She was to have sailed tomorrow.

REDSKIN GETS WARRANT Salnskln Says the Skull of Ris Son Was Taken, and the Vandals Threatened His Life When He Caught Them. t. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. May 7. (Special.) Warrants were issued today for the arrest of Louis T. Head, William Metzger and L. H. Alger, charging them with desecrating a grave in the Indian cemetery on the reservation. The warrants have been technically served and the prisoners notified to ap pear tomorrow for a hearing. Saluskin, a Yakima Indian, makes the charge. He alleges that the defend ants -went to the Indian cemetery and dug up the body of his son Tommy. After disinterring the body, the skull was taken and carried off. Saluskin says he followed the men. When he caught up with them, he says he de manded the head of his son, but they refused to give it to him and threat ened to take his life. He says they of fered to bribe him by giving him money and whisky, but he refused and then finally they gave him the head. Saluskin then came to the city and had the warrant sworn out. An attempt was made today by prom inent citizens to make peace with the Indian, but Saluskin has so far been obdurate. The men have been In hid ing all day evading the Sheriff, but they have been notified to appear at the hearing set for tomorrow. Head is the city editor of the Herald. Alger is a clerk in a store and Metzger has been here but a short time. The object of robbing the 'graves Is said to be a desire to get an Indian skull for scientific purposes. All day there have been scores of Indians in the city demanding that the authori ties take steps to prosecute the men. LOGGERS ASK FOR RELIEF Compelled to Pay Part of Wages to Employers for Hospital Fees. OLYMPIA, May 7. (Special.) The t 1 t nf Pacific. Coast, re- cently incorporated as a fraternal and beneficiary organization ior me puyjo of protecting the interests of logging em ployes, have appealed to the Insurance Commissioner and the Attorney-General, in an effort to get relief from the pay ment of fees to their employers for "hos pital treatment." It is said to be the universal practice among employers of these men to deduct from 75 cents to 1 a month for "hos pital treatment," and that they are com pelled to submit to this deduction for the full month, even though they may have been employed only a few days. The order Itself provides for sick bene fits for its members, and on this account especially exception Is taken to their be ing compelled to pay for the same object In another direction. When the question was submitted to him recently Assistant Attorney-General Falkner ruled that "the Issuance of a card of a physician en titling the holder to hospital treatment is purely a matter of contract between the parties and the physician, and if any member of the Royal Loggers desires to assume the additional expense It Is his own concern." The Royal Loggers have now replied to this es follows: We agree with you perfectly, but this Is not the Question -at Issue. The men com plain that the employers deduct from their wages for hospital treatment.. It Is not the men themselves who make the contract with the physicians: they are compelled to submit to this deduction. They have already a pro tection of this kind In their order. If they enter Into a personal arrangement then, we admit they will be bound by It and It would be nobody else's business, but they object to having this deduction made in such an arbitrary manner by thetr employers. The question at issue will probably have to be adjusted without any further assistance or suggestions on the part of the state officials. Governor Commutes Sentences. OLYMPIA. Wash., May 7.
