The first game went to 13 Innings and was a splendid pitchers' battle between Gray and Klnsella, After the fifth inning, batsmen were mowed down almost as quickly as they came to the plate and the game might never have ended had not Happy Hogan thrown the ball to the outfield in an attempt to catch Johnson stealing third. The five runs made by the two teams were all due to errors. Nevertheless there was some fast fielding at other times which cut off runs. Four men were out at the plate and there were two Stirling double plays. Klnsella was lucky in the first inning to get off with a clean slate and it was only by the sharpest kind of fielding by Johnson that he did so. Bernard was safe on a slow roller to Cooney. Oakea beat out his bunt when Klnsella Juggled the ball and Dillon also beat out a bunt, filling the bases with none out. Brashear bunted and forced Bernard at the plate. Smith tried the same play and Johnson ran in quickly, getting Oakes at the plate. Whaling threw quickly to first and doubled Smith. Champs Score In Second. The southerners got their only runs in the second without a hit. Gray walked, stole second, and took third when Cooney threw the ball away. He scored from third on Oakes' grounder which Cooney threw low to the plate. Oakea- pilfered seoond and -scored when Whaling's throw went to center field. Rvan opened the fifth for Portland with a hit and Danzig followed with a single. Klnsella, sacrificed them to second and third and Casey was passed, filling the bases. Cooney forced Ryan at the plate but Johnson scored Danilg and Casey when Bernard fumbled his swift hit. The scora remained at 2 to 1 until the 13th Inning. Johnson singled after Cooney had gone out and took second on Mc Credle's out at first. Raftery was walked purposely. With Bassey at bat Johnson made a dash for third as Gray pitched the ball and Hogan, In his hurry to catch him, threw over Smith's head. Johnson ambled home with the winning run. Second Game Is Short. The second game was called after five Innings by agreement. Patrick and Koest ner were the slabsters and the Angel twlrler had no difficulty in shutting out McCredles men. . Patrick pitched the first three Innings In good style, fanning four batsmen but was touched up in the fourth for a double and a single which, with a passed ball and an out at first, scored two runs. San Franclaco comes Tuesday and there will be a tussle for second place. The scores: First game LOS ANGELES. H. P.O. A.

The morning game was a rank exhibition on the part of the locals. Thompson pitched magnificent ball, but his teammates booted them and' threw the ball away.

It is a 1909 six cvlinder Pierce Arrow, and is capable of three times the speed It will ever be called on to make on city streets. The selection of a Pierce car by Mayor Lane and the committee was only arrived at after three months" deliberation and after considering bids from every dealer In town. . .. Yesterday's gorgeous Indian Summer weather attracted thousands of people out to the Dicturesque site of the Country Club racetrack and livestock show. From morning till night the cars were filled and. all told, during the day there were probably 100 matinee harness horses out to -try the newly completed mile course over which the fastest trotters and nacers of the West will contend for the Jl'O.OOO in purses hung up for next week's races. Not only were there a large num ber of local horses out which will appear In the show-ring in the harness classes, but thero was a brilliant turn-out of nleasure vehicles which were sent around the track for the mere enjoyment of a anln around the speed course. The Hunt Club was out in force, singly. in small groups and large parties. The construction crews at work putting the finishing touches on the big grand stand, the bleachers, the paddock, the Judges' stand and other parts oi tne necessary preliminaries put in full time yesterday, and every minute of time from now until the races begin a week from today will be needed to have everything in readiness. The street railway extension from Sandy Road, which loops around the main entrance at the grandstand, will be completed so that cars can be put in service tomorrow or the next day. In order to give the best possible accommo dations to the crowds, only brand-new material and equipment is being used in the construction of this line, and the track is being heavily ballasted. Rapid progress is being made on the O. R. & N. spur from Montavilla, and it is anticipated that this extension will be completed by the middle of the week, so that the exhibits tor the I'acmc .na tional show, which will appear, here for the first time on the North Pacific Fair Circuit, may be quartered there two or three days before the opening of the show. Several of the officials of the Country Club and Livestock' Association, including M. D. Wisdom, secretary of the entire North Pacific Fair Circuit, go to Salem this morning, where they will arrange that every entry and exhibit shown at the State Falr'there this weekfor which there is a similar class In the show and races here, will be shipped to Portland for the livestock show. All this week the general management committee of the race meet and show will hold dally sessions in order that all details of the various features, special days, entertainment, programme, conces slons and other matters may be disposed of to avoid confusion and embarrassment later. . "It has been a gigantic task," said Chairman F. O.-Downing, of the general committee, yesterday, "to handle the endless maze of things that have come up within the past few weeks This is Portland's first attempt to hold a meet of this character on such a broad scale and with so little time in which to pre pare for it We think we have matters pretty well in hand now, but in order to take no chances, our committee will meet every day until the exposition opens, and we shall probably open headquarters out at the grounds the last part or tne weeK so that we can handle affairs right on the scene of operations."

(To the Editor.) In an editorial in yesterday's Ore gonian, under the caption "Pilot Charges Too High" In connection with the Ma thilda's grounding In Grays Harbor an injustice has been unwittingly done to a good man in stating "It was very poor economy for a master to employ an In competent pilot in order to save the ex pense of a good .one." Naturally, the Grays Harbor ress would magnify the fact that it was not a local, but a Puget Sound pilot who was in charge of the Mathilda. But one side of the story has been published. I have no wish to disparage the harbor or minimise the advantages it has and its most favorable prospects, for the Grays Harbor country Is bound to be heard from more and more frequently among those honorably mentioned. In their anxiety, however, to do the volume of business, the Grays Harbor people have perhaps Invited steamers of too great tonnage and draft In the honest belief that they could handle these steamers at this time as safely as they could be handled on the Columbia River or on Puget Sound. But this they cannot hope to do until the Government will per form the necessary amount of dredging and the lumber mill owners themselves will dredge the loading berths of the steamers so that these may He always safely afloat. In the Mathilda's case, she loaded at three mills and took the ground at all three. I desire to state the facts in the above case, as I belie'e them to be and as 1 have been Informed. The pilot of the Mathilda stands pre-emtnent in his pro fession and has had many years' experi ence in handling vessels at almost, if not all, the bar ports on the North Pa cific Coast, Grays Harbor and Puget Sound Included, and but few will ques tion his ability and skill. At the draft the paptain of the Mathilda expected to load to, viz: 21 feet, the pilot Informed him he fully expected the steamer would take the bottom at some places where she was expected to go, but at no time was the steamer in any danger unless the wind had risen. The first grounding was simply because the ship sucked bot tom and took a run, and before she could be checked was broadside against the bank. Captain Archie Pease, and he is not a "poor pilot," was In charge of the steam er St. Irene a few years ago, and when rounding the turn at the lower end of Swan Island this steamer performed the same evolution In this river and it was a very expensive performance, too. But in a case of this kind no one blamed the pilot, and I can mention other similar cases right at home, which Captain Pease can verify. The second grounding of the Mathilda occurred when fairly under way to get out of the river and across the bar. A fog enveloped the steamer, and having on this account to- slow down, a very strong tide swept her broadside on to Whitcomb's Spit, where she lay for 24 hours. This matter of grounding or stranding Interests the underwriters largely. They will soon limit their risks at any harbor where this is frequent and we should not blame a pilot for condi tions which are beyond his control. It is to be hoped that the Grays Har bor communities will be able to bring sufficient local and Federal Influence to bear to make their harbor one that own ers will not hesitate to send their steam ers to a second time, and it will be a matter for congratulation when the har bors referred to can safely accommodate the largest draft steamers. ' FRANK WOOLSET. Wants Fruit Growers' Adviser. PORTLAND, Sept. 11. (To the Ed ellspanaars, of pianorelirabilittX House of Highest Quality itor.) It appears 'to me that we are under a misapprehension with regard to the value of fruitgrowing facilities in this locality. There are many grow ers who, while producing fruit of sorts, are, owing to a poor knowledge of fruit culture, getting obviously meager re sults from the soil at their command. It is well known that a little knowl edge is a dangerous thing, and if I might suggest the Installation of a competent adviser to the fruitgrowers aforesaid It would, in my opinion, be of undoubted benefit, both to the pro ducers and consumers. In the spraying of fruit there Is more than meets the eye. It Is first neces sary to have absolute confidence in the chemical properties of the Bpray used, and I have every reason to believe that in a lot of cases a epurtous article has been palmed off on the not-too-well-posted grower. There should be no reason why we of this county should not be able to get equally gapd results, or even better, than Hood River growers. Furthermore, the Fruit Inspectors have not. In my opinion, succeeded in giving altogether disinterested de cisions. J. W. KIRKWOOD. NEW U :C I'AKTLKK. The cost of Interments has been greatly reduced by the liolmaa Undertaking Company. Heretofore It has been the custom of funeral directors to make charges for all Incidentals connected with a funeral. The Edward Holman Undertaking Company, the leading funeral directors of Portland, have departed from that custom. When casket is furnished by us we make no extra charges for embalming, hearse to cemetery, outside box or any services that may be required of us, except clothing, cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a saving of 135 to J7S on each funeral.
