THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, SEFTE3IBER 12, 1907. BEAVERS ASTONISH THE COMMUTERS Carry Off Game While Van Haltren's Tourists Dream of the Sunny South. FAITHFUL FANS REJOICE Brave Threatened Rain Storm in Hope of Seeing Home Team Win and AVItness Contest of Heavy Hitting Score, 11 to 5. The Commuters must have been home sick yesteraay. It appears that the gentle zephyrs chasing "hither and thither over the Vaughn-street grounds reminded them Fo strongly of Recreation Park in San Francisco that when they Anally awoke to the fact that they really were in Port land they had dropped a game by the score of 11 to 5. The astonishment of the Oakland balltossers when they realized that they were defeated was nothing in comparison to that experienced by the handful of the faithful who braved the boisterous breezes and threatened rain storm when they saw the home team wrest a game from the visitors. Portland victories are so few and far between that it was hardly to be expected thRt many fans would be on hand to witness the sport. In truth the players cavorting around the grassy plot In practice before the game commenced out numbered the spectators, but the few present were of the real rabidly en thusiastic variety and yelled themselves hoarse at the several charges on the register made by the "white wings." Yesterday's example, if followed by the McCredleites on a Sunday, would be most pleasing as well as profitable. In the first Inning Bobby Groom was a trifle unsteady and the tribe under "Pop" Van Haltren inaugurated the game with four hits, good for three runs, and it seemed a hopeless proposition for the Portlanders. Two two-baggers in the Portland half gave the Beavers one run and served to arouse the spirits of the fans. Casey led off with a swat for two and when Burdette followed with a similar smash, Pearl scored. Passing of "Deacon" Wrlglit. The second inning witnessed the passing if "Deacon" Wright, and before the home learn ceased Its pernicious activity Oak land had also chased Mr. Goodwin and :alled out Mr. Carnes. The sorrel-top iwlrler with the sanctimonious handle was unfortunate at the start, for Haley erred on Fay's chance and that started trouble. Pokorny stood at the plate long enough to be told by Derrick to amble as he had guesse'd four that were not over. Long Bobby Groom proved a greater wonder that anything In ancient Ejgypt. for he bunted safely, which popu lated the sacks. A this Juncture Mr. Van Haltren saw fit to tag Deacon Wright with the sign r23" and called out Mr. Goodwin. Good win was suffering from lack of control and after issuing a ticket to Casey, which allowed Fay to cash In, he tossed one wllcly at Burdrtte, and. as Daihwood did jiot have a net, both Pokorny and Groom tapped the platter, while 'Casey Sucked into the siding at third. Burdette then faced Mr. Carnes, for Van had sent Goodwin to keep company with Wright. Carnes lost Burdette and passed him to first. Then "Marquis Spaghetti," other wise known as Bassey, came up and clipped the daisies in right garden with a heat single on which Casey registered. Donahue sent a long fly to Van Haltren and Burdette made the total for the Inning read five, and gave Portland a lead of three over the visitors. The rungetting mania of the home guard still possessed them when the third Inning opened. Fay flew to Haley. Pokorny and Groom singled successively. Casey filed to Bigbee. Burdette walked and Bassey came to the front with another rungetting clout to the center patch, which chased Groom, and "Porky" over the pan. Groom Emulates Van Buren. In the fifth the Oakland boys again be came familiar with the register when an error by Mott and "Rip" Bagan's first double gave Van Haltren an opportunity to collect. Portland came back by an nexing two for this desultory ace claimed by Oakland. Groom developed Into a regular Van Buren, of ancient memory, and beat out another bunt. Casey soaked out another safety. Burdette advanced both men, and the "Marquis" disting uished himself- for the third time by driving two more runs home with a safe hit. Bagan's second double followed by an error and an out gave Oakland the last run In the ninth, while in the previous . inning Portland annexed the eleventh run on Mott' double and an error by Eagan. . The Commuters really wanted yester day's game, for they are within touch of the Seals and one game would have helped them considerably. Today's game will begin at 3 o'clock. As the Scorer Saw It.

The bright and scintillating star among McCredie's bunch of also rans yesterday was "Marquis Spaghetti" Bassey. the diminutive left fielder of the Portland team. He tore off three of the neatest and most timely hits seen here this sea son, and each of his bingles scored two rns, making a total of six driven in y that trusty club. Bassey also stole four bases and otherwise distinguished him self. Charles Eugene Eagan. "the veteran shortstop with Oakland, had Bobby Groom on his staff yesterday and batted a perfect average in the game. "Truck" pickled the ball safely on lour occasions and two of the clouts were for two bags. His first hit was a short fly back of first base. The next three were of the plank rattling variety and left marks on the fences. Truck also scored two or his club's Ave runs. Percy Mott pulled off one of the fast est plays seen on the local grounds this season. It was in the fifth canto. Jimmy Smith, the fleet of foot, was at bat, and bunted one of those Van Buren dinky hits along the third-base line, -iott tore In and, fielding the ball with his bare hand, hurled most accurately into the mits of Porkorny, and nipped Smith by a wink. Robert Groom, slugger, is the manner In which the elongated. attenuated, shadow-like pitcher of the home team must be referred to in the future. He hooked a trio of hits yesterday in a most deceiving manner. The first time up he bunted and, to the wonder of the fans, beat it out. His next venture at the slugging game was to touch up the dai sies in center field, and his third salaam into the base-hit column was another suc cessful bunt. Wild Bill Devereaux gingered just as rl .... much yesterday as if a big Sunday crowd had been present. He had occasion to get exceedingly boisterous In the first In ning, when his teamsters got busy with the register and scored three-runs. When Portland doubled the score on the visi tors Bill kept encouraging his team mates with the admonition mat they were shortly to score a dozen runs. In this he had tackled the wrong brand, but It did not feaze him in the least. He probably recol'ected his experience In the waters of the Willamette last Monday. San Francisco 4; Los Angeles 1.

Tne first meeting of the foot ball season was held In the High School, when about 50 prospective can didates for the team turned out to hear Coach Nlctiols tell what he expected them to do this year. The meeting was called thus early in. the season because of the large amount of new material that it will be necessary to work Into the team.. Coach Nichols desired to impress upon the football boys the amount of hard training that it will take to turn out a team that will up hold the record that Baker City has made In the past two years. About one-haltvof the team this year will be made up of new material, while only three, or possibly four, of the team of 1906 will be in the line-up. It is very likely that McKlm will again play quarter, while Enbery will fill his posi tion of fullback. Jett and Baer are the other two members of the 1900 team. Coach Nichols has made an Iron clad rule that any member of the team caught smoking or drinking would be dropped from the team and nS further attention would be payed to him. This habit has been a great hindrance In the past and, in view of the hard work that must be done, no. trifling will be allowed. Six games will be played this year, this being the heaviest schedule that has ever been played by Baker City. A practice game will be played with Huntington about the mid dle of October and the regular sched ule will begin on October 19, when Baker City will meet Ontario at Ontario. The other games will be Weiser, at Baker City: Boise, at Boise; Pendleton, at Pendleton: Portland, at Baker City on Thanksgiving. ISSUES SWEEPING CHALLENGE Major J. A.
