Port land won both games In the most thrill ing: manner Imaginable, the first of which was a superb struggle which lasted 12 Innings, and the second was won In the fourth Inning of a contest which, by agreement, was limited to five rounds. The scores of the dual victory were 4 to 3 and 4 to 2. In addition to splendid playing on the part of both teams, the fans were treated to a most sensational triple play pulled off in the eleventh inning of tho first game by Ote Johnson and Pearl Casey, of the home guard, where in three frisky Seals, Piper, Wheeler and Irwin, were retired in the twink ling of an eye, and when the big :rowd realized what had actually taken place so suddenly, pandemonium broke loose. . Hats' were crushed down over the ears of enthusiastic fans, others' sky-pieces were tossed in the air, and the large majority of the voices pres ent were strained to hoarseness. It really seemed as though It would be Impossible to restrain the wildly de lighted fans from swarming on the Hold and carrying the nifty Portland lnflelders off ' on their shoulders. Casey, Johnson, Bassey, Raftery, Hart hian, Callff, Groom and In fact the names of every member of the Port-, land team will live In history as a re sult of yesLerday's glorious perform ance. Victors Are Confident. The frisky band under the wing of Captain Charles Irwin went on the field yesterday with the expressed de termination to win both games. San Francisco needed them, for that team is yet In the running, but McCredle's reinforced aggregation is a club that will make any of them sit up and take notice, and made It four straight vic tories over the bunch from the earth quake belt. In the second and eighth Innings the Seals accumulated two runs on costly errors and timely blngles, and had the best of a two-to-naught argument, when the' home guard took a turn at bat In their half of the eighth. Cholly Hartman was the first man up and was pasted on the funny bone by one of Oscar Jones' spirals and took first. Pearl Casey slammed one for two bases, which sent Hartman to third. Donohue rapped a safety to left and Hartman scored. Raftery beat ou,t an Infield tap and the bags wero loaded. Manager McCredie smashed one at Jones which was too hot for that worthy to handle In time to' got Casey at the plate, but the batter wp.s thrown out at first. This made two runs for Portland and the score was a tie. Irwin walked as the first man up' In the ninth and scored on a sacrifice, a fielder's choice and Zeldler's single over short. This looked gloomy for Portland, but Mott opened up with a neat single. Kennedy advanced him, and Jimmy Byrnes, who was sent In to bat for Hartman, put him to third. Then came Mr. Casey, who connected for another two-ply wallop and Mott tied up the score for the second time. Callff Good in Pinches. Ennon Callff was trotted out to do the honors for the balance of the game. It was while he was pitching in the eleventh that his team-mates pulled him out of a hard place by the great triple play mentioned above. Johnson fumbled Piper's chanoe. Wheeler outguessed Callff and walked, and Irwin came up with two men on bases. He connected for a line drive that was apparently ticketed as a hit to center. Johnson sped for the ball. reached out his glove and caught it on the fly, but not until he had Jug gled it. As soon as he had it firmly in his ' grasp he turned quickly and tossed the ball to Casey tn second and Piper and Irwin were out. Pearl noticed Wheeler standing dumbfound ed between first and second and quick ly slapped the ball on him. completing the most sensational triple play since Larry Schlafly pulled off his memor able unassisted stunt In 1905. In tho twelfth Inning Raftery walked, but was thrown out while overrunning second. on McCredle's out at first. Johnson walked and stole second cleanly. Bassey was there with the goods on his appearance at the plate and laced one to deep right, which chased Johnson over for the winning run. Manager McCredie opened the glad some fourth inning of the second game .with a single to left. Johnson soaked one on the seam for two bases and the manager scored. Bassey hit to Irwin and went to second, while Johnson was " being run down between third and sec ond. Mott dumped one along the third base line and beat It out. Kennedy flew to Hlldebrand and then Bobby Groom became a hero In real earnest. The lanky twlrler soared one over the heads of Piper and Hlldebrand which netted him three bases and scored Bassey and Mott. Casey sent one to left center which Piper tried hard to get but muffed and Groom scored the fourth run of the game and the last of the season of 1937 on the Portland lot. Both teams left for California last night, and will play five weeks In the southland before the curtain Is finally rung down for the year.

Ennon Callff Is credited with the victory in the first game yesterday, for the score was a tie whert he relieved Hartman. It Is hard luck that Harty should not have the win, for he worked hard during the nine innings he worked, but according to scoring rules he does not figure In the game except in the fielding and batting averages. ., . . Ed Kennedy, Portland's new flrsc base man, handed George Wheeler a few hot shots yesterday, for the ancient one de liberately trod on Kennedy's foot when running to first base. Wheeler did not come back very strong, for, the Portland man would have trimmed him In no tlmo Kennedy is a wrestler of considerable re pute and also possesses considerable skill In the art of self-defense. Pat Donahue bade farewell to his Port- -1 . - I land friends among the fans yesterday afternoon, for he has made his last ap pearance on the Portland diamond.

Tacoma finishes the season at home and expects to win the championship while Aberdeen tussles with Vancouver. "Slim" Nelson won his fifth consecutive victory for Tacoma today, letting Butte down with three scratch hits. He gave two bases on balls and though the bases were nce filled his . masterful pitching retired the side without a score.' Opposing him was Virgil Garvin. . the star pitcher of the Bandits.

RACE WEARING END American League Pennant Will Go to the Winner. THREE TEAMS IN STRUGGLE Detroit, Chicago am) Philadelphia Contestants Pitchers Star Fig ures In History-Making Con test Gossip of Diamond. - BY W. J. RETRAIN. The crucial test In the grandest baseball race In the history of the great American game Is now being experienced by the teams representing Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia in the American League. , Long ago it was absolutely certain that Frank Chance's Chicago Nationals were the premiers In the National League, and the entire attention of the baseball pub lic was devoted to the race In the younger and most successful rival league. Until a few days ago four clubs figured as pos sible victors in this greatest of all base ball struggles, but the strain experienced earlier In the season wnen its star play ers were incapacitated through injury. has told on the Cleveland club and La Jole's men. are not now considered as pos sible winners, but they may possibly put any of the other three out of the running before the last day rolls round. With an even break on the present se ries between the Athletics and the Detroit aggregation, and If the two clubs con tinue on the same basis until the last games, Connie Mack will have the bet ter of the final contests for the reason that he is scheduled to meet the weakling Washington team, while Jennings' men are pitted against Jimmy McAleer's dan gerous St. Louis team. Tuesday, Wednes day and Thursday, October 1, 2, and 3, the Athletics will have hard games against. Napoleon Lajoie's Cleveland bunch, while on the same dates Detroit plays Washington and Chicago battles with Clarke Griffith at New York. Should Washington follow precedent and set Detroit back, while the Naps give Connie Mack a Jolt, the old Roman, . Comisky, may profit by administering a trouncing to the Highlanders, In which event the White Sox may possibly gain the coveted position which will enable them again to fight out the world's championship series with the rival Chicago nine. The terrific strain on the splendid pitch ing staffs of the three leading American League teams will no doubt find some of them weakening before the week's end. and the first to go will b relegated to the background. Philadelphia has Rude Waddell, Eddie Plank and Al Coombs as the mainstays In that department, "but Dygert and Big Chief Bender are being primed for the finish, Chicago will depend on Doc White, Walsh, Patterson and Owen to keep up the splendid work of the past few weeks. while Hugh Jennings and the Detroit Club have Wild Bill Donovan, Seiver, Mul lln and Embanks as the pitching artists on whom the glory of the Michigan town depends. ' The Chicago quartet of twirlers is be coming fast at the finish and may repeat the feat of 1906, when Wnite Sox wre brought from far In the ruck to first place before any of the other teams realized what was occurring. Comlnskey la a foxy old general and If his splendid team wins out In this most exciting race, each player on tho team may be able to call himself wealthy at least for a time. Connie Mack Is determined to win if such a thing is possible, and with the erratic Waddell workln.: -at his present form he may yet realize his ambition. Mack has never been 'satisfied that his team is not capable of winning the world's championship and his defeat by the New York Giants three years ago has only served to stimulate his ambition to dem onstrate his contentions. The next few days will be eagerly watched by fandom throughout the Uni ted States and Canada, and every fan who has settled upon one of the three clubs as the one he wishes victorious, will hover around the bulletin boards and anxiously quiz the cigar-store proprietors for In formation as to the results of each day's games in the American League. Judge W. W. McCredie has acquiesced to the numerous requests of the Cali fornia magnates, and will attend the meeting of the National Association of Minor Leagues at New York City about October 28. The Portland magnate has been anxious to take a trip East for some time, but the confining duties of a Su perior Judge of Washington have pre cluded any such action on his part In the past. A Judicial friend of McCredle's from the Puget Sount district has volunteered to attend to McCredie s Judiciary during the time he Is absent, and thereby the way is made clear for the genial Portland baseball magnate and Vancouver jurist to hie his way to Gotham and Impress upon baseball magnates of the East that tho Pacific Coast League is still doing busi ness at the same old stand, and that while slightly crippled by desertions of memBers, Is still able and willing to do Its share in framing baseball, law and fur nishing sport for the fans. The genial personality and smiling countenance of the Portland magnate win undoubtedly assist in gaining a few choice concessions desired here and the Pacific Coast League can be congratulated on securing such a representative at the meeting so vital to Its Interests. -. Judge McCredie will give battle to the ambitions of the Eastern League and American Associations' desire to be ad vanced to Class A A; or one notch above this league, which would give them the rlKht to use the draft on v-oast players. The use of this privilege by the National and American leagues Is enough and even then too much, so McCredle's effort will be appreciated most heartily on this cir cuit. RACE ON FOR THE PENNANT Quaker City Team Close Behind De ' . trolt in National League. NEW YORK, Sept. 29. Interest in all other branches of sport this week will be overshadowed by that focus on the brilliant race between the leading teams of the American baseball league for the pennant of 1907, and the honor of meet ing the Chicago club of, the National League for the world's championship early next month. Detroit begins the week with 87 games won and 56 lost, and Philadelphia with 83 games won and 55 lost, a percentage of 608 for the former and 601 for the lat ter. Chicago is third In the race, with a very remote chance of catching the leaguers, having a percentage of 589. Tomorrow Philadelphia and Detroit will play a double-header at Philadelphia, af ter which Detroit will Jump to Washing ton for four games and thence to SU Louis for three. Only one game has been lost in the capital city by Detroit this season, and Manager Jennings is hope ful that this ' high percentage of vic tories there will be maintained. In St. Louis, however, things have not always been rosy for Detroit. After Detroit leaves the Philadelphlans will welcome the Clevelands on their home grounds for four games, and then will go to Washington for three. . , NATIONAL ' LEAGCE. St. Louis 5-1; New York 7-0.

Knew His Portland 40 Years Ago Joseph Hyman, Former Merchant, See Marvelous Changes in Town of Two Decades Past. JOSEPH HYMAN, an old-time mer chant of Portland, who has not been In this city for over 40 years, with his wife .and niece, is a guest of Max Flelschner, of this city. Since leaving Portland, four decades ago, Mr. Hyman has spent a large part of his life in Hawaii. 'The Portland I knew Is gone," said Mr. Hyman last night, half sadly, half humorously. "I left it a thriving town on the bare banks of a peaceful river. I find it, after 40 years, a roaring, mod ern city, with the old Willamette fenced in for miles with docks and boat land ings. "Forty year3 ago a man could throw a stone over any building In town; to day some of them look as If one could hardly shoot over them. When I lived here we waded In the mud; today I ride over streets tmooth and hard. We were out of the world then, and today Portland Is the center of business and social life of the Northwest. I wish I had known what it was going to be. "Here and there, at rare intervals, I meet a' face I knew when I was here, but this swarm of strangers so they are to me now I am told were, many of them, born and raised right here In this city. Why, when I lived here I could go all over town on the darkest night, and the streets were hardly lighted then; but now I cannot find my way round even at noon. Time, men and money vork; great changes. "And there will be Just as great a change in the next 40 years. Portland Is bound to be the greatest city on' the Pacific Coast. With the great shfcis ol the Pacific coming in here from all over the world, and going out loaded with wheat and lumber, this port can not help being one of the greatest on earth within the tlmo that I have been away. Although the city Itself has changed, the climate and the scenery are Just the same, and nowhere on earth has Portland a superior in such things. I love Portland as my old home, but the Portland I knew best is gone forever." Mr. Hyman will leave for San Fran cisco today. ATTEMPT TO ROB CLUB Multnomah Club the Scene of a 'Frustrated Burglary. ' A daring attempt to plunder the Multno mah Amateur Athletic Club of Its valu able trophies occurred at the club rooms at 1:30 o'clock this morning, when two highwaymen visited the club and at tempted to hold up A.

Death from heart disease was the fate of a horse here, and this city is too close to Ocean Grove for nature faking. A dog and pony show was In town and at noon there was what Is known as a "grand street pageant." Four elephants were In the parade. As they marched down South Broadway there were several horses that passed them with more or less excitement. W. H. Campbell attempted to go by the ele phants with a sorrel horse.
