THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1907. NO RUN IS MADE man on third and one on second, and Ran- dolph walked him in preference to taking a chance on his hitting the ball. FAMILIAR FACES MISSED AT SALEM The triple play pulled oft yesterday was the first of the kind to b pulled off by league players since the memorable un assisted triple made by Larry Schlafly. of the Portland team, in 1906. At that time Walters, of Seattle, was on second and Kane on first in the first inning. Kem mer, who was at bat, hit a line drive over second which was gobbled in by Schlafly, who touched second, retiring Many of Old Guard Not Among Those Attending State Fair Races.

Then the game was called, to the great disappointment of the hand ful of fans who were present to see the opening game with the Angel band from the Orange' belt. Score, Portland 0, Los Angeles 0. Rubv Red Randolph was the artist who hot . the puzzling spirals over for the visitors, and he had twist enough on the hoots to Drevent the home guard from becoming familiar to any extent. As a result they failed to score or even to become threatening. Long Robert Groom held down the slab for McCredie. and the manner In which he sent the benders tip to the Angels was most mystifying. When the nine innings were concluded he had kept the visitors from scoring. Both teams were threatened seriously, but when the hit that would have scored a. run was required there was nothing doing. The crowd which witnessed the game was hardly larger than a Salvation Army parade on the Fourth of July, but it was a great deal more enthusiastic. The many fine plays caused the few fans . present to root their utmost, and when the Portland team pulled off a triple play in the fourth Inning the handful of the faithful who had braved the ele ments went almost frantic with delight, The field was sloppy, but even had it been In the finest ot condition the triple play could hardly have been prevented The best batters in the visiting aggre gation were having their session at bat, Dillon had led off and had reached first on a single to center. Cravath hit one to Casey who threw to Donohue at first, ahead of the runner, but the baseman muffed the throw and both runners were . safe. Norman Brashear, who is playing third base during the enforced absence , of Jud Smith, came up and hit a liner to Groom, who caught the drive and hurled the ball to Fay at second by which Dillon was retired, and then sent the ball to Donahue before Cra vath could get back and a triple play had been completed in the twinkling of an eye. The fans hardly realized what had taken place until they saw the Los Angeles team ambling Into the field, when a tremendous burst of applause , was forthcoming. With two out In the eighth Inning, the Portland team managed to fill the bases, but Randolph was particularly unsolvable at this Juncture and there was nothing doing. Los Angeles filled up the paths with but one down in the ninth and the thing looked very much like Los Angeles. However, Robby Groom was the candy kid and managed to fan Delmas, and as Hogan flew to Schimpff, the game was over. Before the game was begun, Mana . gers McCredie and Dillon had agreed that In the event of a tie at the end of the ninth Inning the game should be railed, but In doing so they neglected to Inform the crowd and the umpire ana many persons went away constd erably disappointed at not seeing an other inning or so. It is planned to play a double-header next Sunday. The score: . , LOS ANGELES. Bernard. 2b. . . Carllle, If Dillon, lb Cravath. rf. ... Brashear, 3b. , Elite, cf Delmaa. m..., Hogan. c Randolph, p..

Pokorny without any notice whatever. Jumped out the sameime as did Atherton, and Mc Credie is without a first baseman. Carl Druhot, the Portland boy who has been playing in the East for the past two years, returned home Monday night and la likely to finish out the season with Mc Credie. The Portland manager wants Druhot to play center field since Bur. dette has left, and the player, who offi ciated nearly all season for Altoona as left fielder, may accept the local mana ger' proposition. If he does he will play this afternoon. . . "Pearl" Casey was the shining light in the fielding line at yesterday's game.

MUST TAKE TO THE SADDLE Consternation Among Army Officers Because of Roosevelt's Order. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash Sept. 17. (Special.) Orders have been re.elved here that all field officers above the rank of captain shall be given f teBt in horsemanship and endurance. Be cause of this there is consternation among many of the officers who have long neglected the saddle. These of ficers are now putting in overtime at practice. The following letter from President Roosevelt to the Secretary of War was tne cause or the order: I have personally observed some Held of- ncera- who were physically unable to ride even a few miles at an increased gait, and as 1 deem it essential that the neld orficers or the line of the Army should be at all times physically fit and able to perrorm the duties pertaining to their positions, espe cially in the field, and aa I believe that such physical fitness can only be demonstrated by actual physical tests, 1 desire that you give the necessary directions to have the physical condition of all officers of the Una who come up for examination tor promo tion to the grade of field officer actually tested f.ir skill and endurance In riding, this in addition to the physical examination now required by law. X further desire that an annual or bi ennial test of the physical condition and skill in horsemanship of all field officers or the line be made under the personal super vision of the several department command ers when making their annual Inspections. The tests should be thorough and should consist of a ride of not less than fifteen miles at varying gaits adapted to the ter rain, not leas than ten miles of which shall be at the trot and gallop, approximately five miles at each, with such other exer cises in equitation aa may be deemed ad visable. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. General Greely has made the test for officers here a ride from Vancouver to Biddle'a, thence to Ellsworth and return. Keen Interest Maintained in All Events and Some Splendid Sport Furnished Mudlarks Had an Inning Yesterday. BY WILL G. MAC HAE. . SALEM, Or., Sept. 17. On a track that was drying out and holding, the second day's racing of the State Fair was held this afternoon before a large and appreciative crowd. The time made in all of the events was natural ly very slow, and, while perhaps the purses did not go to horses that looked to have the money already won, the track conditions gave the mud larks, both in the harness races and in the two running affairs, their chance. All three of tins light harness races were captured in three straight heats, which was another thing that pleased the crowd. The second day of racing without betting at the famous Lone Oak track, while it has kept many a familiar face, not only of owners, but those who fol low the horses just to speculate, from visiting Salem this year, saw no noticeable falling off in attendance The untimely dath ofBilly Ayers, ex Senator Van de Vanter and a few others of the faithful old guard who in the past always attended the races, has, of course, taken away men whose hearts were in the racing game. Yet around the paddock and in the Infield were many familiar faces and they took the same keen interest In the dif ferent events as they did in the days when betting was rife. Delays In Starting. There was some delay In getting the races started, but once Starting Judge Wood straightened out the confusion, the crowd overlooked the delay and settled down to enjoy the sport. The opening race on the card was the Farmers' $1000 stake, which was won by Freddie C, driven by Lance. Fred die liked the going and Lance had no trouble In taking first money from a field of starters in three straight heats. Dredge. W. G. Durfee's Cali fornia crack, would have been the choice had there been speculating on the race. The Madison gelding; did not like the sticky track and Durfee did not try to kill him off in the going. In the first heat Dredge, after mak ing a bid to keep up to Freddie C, fell back and finished second. After this heat, fourth was the best he could do. J. T. Wallaces' gray gelding dem onstrated that he was game to the core. In the two last heats he stood a terrific drive from the head of the stretch and finished second. The $1000 purse for 2:25 pacers was almost a walkover for W. G. Durfee's Cope de Ora. Durfee won the race In three straight heats almost as he pleased. Cleopatra, an added starter, was second and Knick Knock, owned by Bob Brady, the Portland Democratic politician, was third. Knick Knock does not like the mud. and Brady would have scratched him had he reached Salem in time. Brady has his side wheeler In the $5000 Greater-Salem stake, which will be paced on Thursday, and he Is praying for a fast track and good weather. Crowd Stays for Running Events Orrly four three-year-olds started In the third race. Riena del Norte was best and won the race in two heats. Shamrock, driven by Hogoboom, was next best, and Baron Bowler, wrlven by Helman, was third. The running races were the last on the programme, but the crowd showed they liked them and stayed. The race. a 5-8 of a mile scramble for all ages went to L. Galbraith's Kamsack. Judge Wood sent the field ot six away to a nice start and Dr. Rowell, with Mentry up, was the first to show In front. Small on Kamsack hooked up with Dr. Rowell rounding out of the back stretch, forced Rowell Into submission and came on and won. Seventy swerved after the break and was left. Isabellita won the closing race of the day, a seven-furlong event. The coun selor and Tramway broke In front at the start and raced head and head down the back stretch. Mentry rode a waiting race on Isabellita and when the Counselor and Tramway had raced their eyes out, Mentry let go the mare's head and she won by a length, 'all out. The Counselor had enough left to beat Tramway for the place. Results of Today's Races. Farmers stake. 2:27 trot, purse $2000 Freddie C, b. h.. Prince Direct-Bertha Lane, 1-1-1; Harry Gray, gr. g..
