THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. AUGUST 17, 1907. LANKY BOB GROOM FORCES TWO RUNS With Bases Full He Hits One Batter and Gives Next One Base on Balls. OF COURSE THE SEALS WIN Outclass .Beavers In Hitting, Field ing and Base-Running Homo Team Gets Off First, but Is Quickly Overhauled. Do not blame yesteraay's defeat of the Portland team by the San Francisco out fit on the fair feminine fanatics, for It was not their fault. The loss of the game should be charged to the entire Port land club individually and collectively. The score was San Francisco 5. Portland 2, and how the visitors missed collect ing 100 runs Is hardly conceivable when the 'behavior of the home guard is taken into consideration. Perhaps it was the heat that caused the Seals to slack up a trifle in their exertions auer they had tallied a quarter score of the aces re quired in order to avoid the application of kalsomlne. The visitors simply out-batted, out flelded and ran the bases in 'better form than the present Portland aggregation can ever hope to attain. They simply made monkeys out of the Beavers and delighted In showing up the local players in every department, and all this occurred after Portland had started after the game in royal style by taking the lead in the first inning. An army mule in a stake event is a fit com parison of the Portland team when It once gets started on aerial excursions in competition with the three real clubs In the four-team circuit. It was a shame to disappoint such a large, and enthusiastic gathering of fem ininity, all arrayed in Its Summer togs of the "peekaboo" shirt waist variety, hosiery of numerous and widely differing colors, picture hats perched jauntily over smiling faces and coiffures a la Gibson. And the girls liked the game. That is more than can be said of their escorts, many of whom had embraced a strong "hunch" that Portland had a chance for victory with the lengthy chap. Groom, on the rubber, and had succeeded in lay ing sundry bets ranging from cigars to nney on the outcome of the game, and us the home guard failed dismally in attaining victory, the misguided ones set tled. . Casey started off for Portland in the first by giving Wheeler a chance, and sat down. Burdette beat one out, and promptly stole second. Esola tossed high and the new outfielder chased to third. Bassey looked dangerous to "Sliver" Henley, who, by the way, has been re christened "Cackle" by his fellow play ers, and the stubby outfielder walked. Pat Donahue found a nice one which he sent to the right patch, and Burdette scored, while Bassey went all the way to third. Manager Mac then took a turn at the bat and sent a liner directly at "Pa" Irwin, who made the catch and beat Bassey back to the bag, thereby completing an unassisted double play, which retired the side. - Spencer led off in the fourth by beating out an infield poke, stole second and scored on Hlldetorand's hit to right field, which tied the score. Portland again as sumed to lead In the fifth, when Casey ambled, took second on Burdette's sac rifice and came home when "Cackle" heaved one over Esola's head. This tickled the "fans" Immensely, for the neat little second baseman is a decided favorite, but unfortunately this gladsome state of affairs was not to last for any great length of time. The so-called "lucky seventh" proved the undoing of the Portland contingent. Hildebrand was passed by Groom. "Pa" Irwin sacri ficed, and "Williams tried a bunt which he beat out a block. At this Juncture Donahue held a consultation with Robert Groom and it was decided to pass Chief Esola and take chances on Tay Strelb. Groom failed to deliver his portion of the agreement, for he soaked Strelb with the ball and forced Hildebrand over the register, and the bases remained crowded. "Babe" Willis fanned the air, and two were down. "Cackle" is usually an easy mark for the opposing pitcher, but Groom still retained his wild streak and issued another pass and forced Williams over the plate. Bobby took a hasty glance at the grandstand and some fair one must have looked her displeasure, for he set tled down and fanned Spencer on three balls. So much for Groom's portion of the had work. In the next Inning the sup porters of the lanky one behaved in the most schoollsh (some persons would call It foolish and harder names), of school boy playing. Wheeler started it by strik ing out. Hildebrand seut out a screamer for two sacks. Irwin hit to Mott, who had Hildebrand caught between the bases, and after joining in the chase with Fay, Casey. Atherton and Groom, finally signally failed to get either Hlldy or Ir win, who had run almost to second while the locals were doing the grandstand stunt of chasing the former back and forth. If Mott could learn to throw the ball instead of making motions, it would accomplish much more for the good of the team. Groom fanned Williams, and with two down. Esola cracked a single to center, on- which Hlldy rode home. Burdette threw to Donahue too late to get Hlldy, but there was no excuse for allowing Ir win to score on the play that followed. On iBurdette's throw Esola started for second, Donahue headed him off, and he was caught between . the bases. While the 'big catcher dodged back and forth, the Portland players forgot all about Ir win and he simply walked home while the-chief was being put out. It was fine "bonehead" baseball displayed in that In-" ning. Pernoll is scheduled to pitch today, and tomorrow there will be two games, com mencing at 2 o'clock. Today's game will start at the usual hour, 3:30 P. M. The score follows: SAN FRANCISCO. A.B. R. IB. P.O. A. B Spencer, cf 4 1 1 2 O 0 Wheeler, ss 3 0 0 1 0 Hildebrand.

Umpire Perrlne. Fa'ndom at Random. Burdette did some fancy base-running in the first inning yesterday, when he took advantage of Esola's high throw and successfully negoti ated third base. In each of the first three Innings, the fifth, sixth and ninth, only three of the visiting players succeeded In facing Long Robert, but in the other ses sions they did things to him. Pat Donahue was robbed of a nice hit in the third inning, when Harry Spencer pulled his long drive out of the air. The speedy Portland backstop lost another drive In the sixth when George Wheeler assisted In getting him at first by Henley partially stopping; the ball In its flight. Mc.Credie's- drive directly at Irwin in the first inning was certainly a hard luck hit, for had it passed the third baseman It would have scored two runs for Portland. As It was, Irwin turned It Into a double play. Tomorrow will wind up the present series at home, and after the double header the Portland and San Francisco teams embark for the. south. Pernoll Is scheduled to pitch today In order to allow him to go to his home In Grant's Pass tonight and spend Sunday with his folks. He will join the team there on its way to California. Joy Fay negotiated first in the sec ond inning, and stele second Immedi ately after. Chief Esola lost his grip on the ball as Fay started and Instead of throwing to Wheeler, the ball fell from his grasp and rolled along the third-base line. WON BY THE FIRST NATIONAL i Championship of Bankers' League of Portland Decided. i The First National Bank team, in the I Bankers' League, defeated the team rep resenting the United States National Bank In the final game of the league season and is now entitled to the cham pionship among the banking teams. The game was a hard-fought, closely contested affair and was decided by the close score of 2 to 1. Each team had scored one run when the last half of the sixth inning was in augurated. Campbell, of the First Na tionals, had reached third base, when Young, the United States National pitcher, contributed a wild pitch and the runner scored the winning tally that brought with it the championship. Mrs. Stearns, wife of the captain of the victorious team, has promised the players a treat in the shape of a chicken dinner, and the successful ball-tossers are now eagerly anticipating the repast. The champions won eight and lost three games during the season, which gives them a percentage of .727, while the con tending team finished with the average Shooting Tournament at St. Johns At a meeting of the St. Johns Gun Club Thursday night It was decided to hold a two-days' shooting tournament, August '24 and 23.

She suffered a 'great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help.

Tom O'Rourke is going to match Joe Rogers, his heavyweight protege, against Al Kaufmann, whom Billy Delaney is going to bring East, says the New York Telegraph. This will ,e a good try-out for Rogers and will show what kind of metal he Is made of. If he should be able to dispose of Kaufmann it will put him in line to meet Burns and the rest of the aspirants for Jeffries' crown. Kaufmann is a good man. He gave Jack O'Brien a great fight as a novice before he lost In seventeen rounds, and since that time he disposed of Sam Berger's aspirations. If Kaufmann gets here In time enough next month to train he may he put on at the opening of the Fall meetings of the National Sporting Club of America, October 1. It is certain to be Interest ing, as on the Coast they think Kauf mann can beat Burns, and the latter steers clear of him and refuses to give him a match. Rogers is training every day at Brown's gymnasium in anticipation of a match of this kind. He wants to be tried out with a man like Kaufmann, he says, to see what his chances are in the future. St. Johns Versus Frakes. The St. Johns nine and the Frakes, which have been playing closely, will be the attraction at St. Johns tomorrow. Springer, who made such a fine showing in the game last week, will be in the box for St. Johns. Ought to Go to School Themselves. EUGENE. Or., Aug. 16.

The past two' weeks have brought into Harney County a great number of the class of men whose coming means a great deal in a business sense. We have been getting not only a large number of men and women who are seeking land upon which to make permanent homes for themselves, but among the arrivals have been a great many men of means who have been attracted here by the evident opportunities for Investment, and in every case they have been confronted with con ditions far beyond their expectations. Many of them have made Investments, while others have been taking observa tions with the Intent of reporting to those whom they represent, and all have gone away enthusiastic in praise of what they found here. It Is easy to forcast the re sult of those visits. The Valley is already becoming dotted with new homes In every direction, where industry and thrift are transforming the sagebrush prairies Into farms and gardens and fruit orchards. and soon there will be an Influx of out side capital for extensive development in the boring of artesian wells, the digging of canals, the building of dams, the con servation of the water supply and the consequent establishment of power plants for manufacturing enterprises, generat ing electricity and furnishing the public utilities which the country will need and demand. , All these influences at work In the out side world, as they will be after becoming Interested here, will hasten the work of railroad building and will arouse the in terest of other capitalists, will also bring In other homeseekers and homebuilders so that the ball of prosperous development, which has been so well started during the past 12 months, will continue to accumu late and take on momentum until its pro gress will be Irresistible. The obstruc tionist and the croakers must step aside or be run over for the new order of things will have neither time nor patience for them. Alill Resumes Operations. MOXTESANO, Wash., Aug. 16.
