Portland and San Francisco split even In yesterday's double-header on the Vaughn-street lot. The home guard, with Long Bobby Oroom on the mound, won the opening contest and thereby made It six games In a row from the visitors. In the second contest Portland found Browning too much for them, and because of their In ability to hit his delivery as well as poor base running, were treated to a' white wash. Both games were filled with splendid fielding and snappy playing on the part of each team. Groom was a trifle wob bly at the opening of the Inaugural con test, but after three Innings, during which he was In trouble, steadied nicely and had the Seals faded during the re mainder of the game. A pass to McCredle, Ryan's corking ingle and an error by Mohler gave Port land the first run In the second Inning. Griffin pitched a good game, but was un lucky in this Inning, as well as In the fourth. With Raftery and McCredie In pickle in the fourth. Griffin made the mistake of hMtlng Ryan. Whaling sin gled to left, and when McArdle allowed Hildebrands return of the ball to go through him. Rryan reached third and Bert second. Groom's infield bingle to Zelder chased Ryan over for the second and last run of the game. In the second Inning of the first game San Francisco succeeded in filling the bases with two down. Griffin was at bat and fanned at the third strike, which Madden dropped, but recovered In time to force Williams at the plate. In the eighth inning Portland cor ralled three hits. Including a two-bagger, yet was unable to score a run. Johnson led off with an Infield tap which caught Griffin napplnic and the Swede was safe at first. Danzig doubled to the right garden wall, but Melchlor returned the ball speedily enough to hold Johnson at third. McCredle failed to connect on a hit and run play, which resulted in John son being caught between third and home. Immediately after this McCredie singled to left, but too close in 'for Dan zig to attempt to score from second. Ryan grounded to Mohler. who made a pretty stop and throw, retiring the side. The sscond game opened with Jesse Garrett on the mound for Portland, and also introduced McCred'.e's new catcher, Frambes. Frambes made a good Impres sion despite his had luck in being re sponsible for one of the two Seal tallies. He receives neatly and throws quite ac curately. His error bad throw to sec ond In the eighth was the means of Mohler Reaching third and eventually registering the first run. Mohler got on In this Inning by rapping a hot one at Johnson, who knocked It down, but was unable to throw In time to get the Seal captain. Mohler went down on the first pitched ball, and Frambes" throw carried wide of Casey, allowing the Seal to take third. Claude Berry was sent In to bat for Klllifer at this Juncture, and promptly laced the first ball to left field, scoring Mohler. Hildehrand. the first man tip In the ninth, was safe on Cooney's error,, and took second on Berger's sacrifice. The latter was Introduced Into the game be cause of a strenuous protest registered by Roily Zelder. which resulted In the crack short fielder being chased by Um pire Cheyne. Melchlor scooted a neat single to center. which Raftery had difficulty in picking up. and Hildebrand scored from second. Melchlor was tossed on bv Frambes on an attempted steal, and Williams ended the inning by a fly to Raftery. Interspersed throughout the games were sensational plays by both teams. Johnson pulled off an unassisted double play In the opening contest that was a hair-raiser, and cut off a threatening Seal run. In the second contest the vis itors figured ,in three speedy doubles, while the home guard officiated In two such retirements. It was the completion of one of the doubles on the. part of the home team that caused Zelder's banishment. Roily was safe in the seventh on an error by Casey, and when Melchlor grounded to Johnson, tried to make third on the play, but Danzig shot the ball back to John son Just In time to nip the speedy Seal. Zelder thought he should have been de clared safe and attempted to convince Umpire Cheyne. However, his protest was too vigorous, and the official gave him the high sign. Pitcher Patrick, the ex-Portlander. who was to have hurled one game for San Francisco, was unable to do so because Kid Mohler had failed to secure the con sent of the Jacksonville. 111., club, to which organisation Patrick still Deiongs. McCredie had simply purchased an op tion on the player and when he required his services no longer. Patrick reverted back to the club from which he came. Mohler will take the youngster to 8an Francisco with him and hopes to have matters straightened out with Jackson ville bv the time the Seals get home. The stringent laws of the National As sociation of Professional Baseball Leagues also prevented Mohler from se curing another Portland player. Carl Druhot. the clever little, southpaw who pitched fine ball for the champion In h .n.nnlw team of the American Asso ciation, was to have been taken on by San FranClSCO.

THRONGS GO TO GROUNDS Interest In Exhibition Is Shown by Large Crowd That Inspects New Track, Grandstand and Stables. Today is grand opening day of the first annual Pacific National Livestock Show and Country Club harness race meet. There is splendid promise that the six days of the sport and exposition will break all records for attendance, and at tractions In the annals of similar enter prises in the West. The total of cash prizes to be awarded in the races and stock exhibition exceed in value the highest awards ever distributed by ajiy similar display in the field of sports or Industrials in this part of the country. Great as was the Oregon State Fair, Just ended, the pageantry of high-blooded animals which will be exhibited in the show ring and prize-winning parades during the week is not to surpass what the Country Club and Livestock Associa tion promises to do for the next six days. All that went to make tho live stock feature of the State Fair a success will be here, with notable additions from a stock-producing territory considerably broader than that from which the Sa lem fair drew its regal blood of horses and other divisions of the show. Thousands Visit Grounds. That the splendid attractions offered will draw the multitudes that love the majesty of the race and admire the form, beauty and breeding of fine-nurtured stock Is a foregone conclusion, judging from the preliminary interest taken In the event all day yesterday. Estimates of the number of people who visited the beautiful and picturesque grounds Sun day run anywhere from 1,000 to 20,000. They began packing the streetcars early in the morning, and hour by hour the facilities for handling the throngs had to be Increased, until from 1 o'clock In the afternoon until late last evening a five-minute service with two-car trains was maintained. At times during the afternoon when some of the brilliant performers in the coming races were sent around the track to "warm up" and test the new mile oval there were close to 2000 people seated In the grandstand. The racing stables where the best trotters and pacers of the West will be housed for the week were besieged with curious sight-seers and lovers of horse flesh. The big group of a dozen livestock, barns, where the horses, cattle, sheep, swine and feature exhibits will be shown, were literally Jammed while the stock was being un loaded from the O. R. & N. trains into the pavilions. In addition to this there was a steady procession of automobiles from town out to the Country Club dur ing the greater part of the day, while hundreds of other pleasure vehicles went to the track to spin around the course. Saddle horses without number were also awhlrl about- the oval In pairs, groups and squads, by both men and women riders. Enjoy Ideal Weather. The magnificent weather of Sunday contributed largely to the ostentation and pomp of the Sunday outing. And all who went marveled at what they saw. Most of them had heard and read of the matchless scenery and pictur esque setting of the natural amphi theater of the Country Club, but few of them had taken the palne to see and approve all this with their own eyes. Contrary to the usual custom of charging a small admission fee at such a time, the Country Club threw open the gates and allowed the crowds to go and come as they pleased, affording them a chance to decide for themselves in advance something of the magnitude of the week's sport that begins today. Fully 75 per cent of the racehorses entered in the various events arrived from the State Fair Saturday night and yesterday, and a big force of attend ants were busy until a late hour last night assigning the entries to their proper stables and stalls. Scores of car loads of livestock arrived at the grounds yesterday, and the pavilions were fairly well filled by dark, and the remainder of the speed kings and queens and show stock will be on the grounds early this morning. Stock Ready for Exhibit. With the big staff of people at work on the grounds and with the prompt manner In which the stock is being handled. It Is expected that before noon today every department of the exposi tion will be ready for the week's work. Every hour of each of the six days will be filled with some Interesting function of the big show. The work of Judging some of the divisions of the livestock department will begin this morning, and the exact order in which the classes are to be Judged is to be determined by Superintendent George Gammie. It will depend upon what classes are ready for the ehow-ring first. The Judges will continue each day until the huge task is completed. Of as great Interest as the Judging in the show ring itself will be the daily grand pa rades of the prize-winners in front of the grandstand and pavilion and around the track. Promptly at 1:30 o'clock this after noon will begin the first of the North Pacific Fair Circuit races ever held here. The opening' event will be the Open River purse, 2:14 pace, for which $1000 has been hung up. There are 28 entries in this event. The full list was published in The Sunday Oregonian. In the field of probably 20 starters will be found all the finest pacers in this class on the Coast, and for an opening event It Is one of the very best that could have been offered. It will be fol lowed by the Commercial Club purse, 2:18 trot, 81000, In which there are 29 entries. In the trot, as in the pace, the entire Coast Is represented by high class performers, particularly notable among them being Day Break, owned by Joe Magulre, who In the 2:14 trot at Salem last Thursday broke the track record twice. Guldeless Pacer on Track. Next on the programme comes per haps one of the most attractive feature events of the entire meet, the first; at tempt here of College Maid, the world record "guldeless pacer," to lower her record of 2:09. This wonderful mare will encircle the track without driver, rider or hand to urge her on. H. C.

The Country Club gave this organisation thia con cession. The local commercial bodies are be ing asked to bend their best energies to secure a half holiday for Wednesday, which is to be Portland day. It is hoped that all the retail places of busi ness will agree to close at noon that day. NORTHWEST LEAGUE. Won. Lost. Pet.

Seattle lost another game by an over whelming score today. The locals have apparently quit and it is Just a ques tion of how many runs the other team will get. The featur was the eighth inning, when Kellacky, first up for Ta coma. pasted the ball out of the lot. Morse, next up. followed suit, and Suess also put the ball over the fence, three home runs in one Inning. Martlnke also annexed a homer in the third, with two on bases. Tacoma started things by scoring twice in the first Inning and kept it up the "rest of the game.

(Special. ) Captain Savldge, of the University of Idaho football team, says the varsity squad this year will be one of the fast est the bookworms have ever turned out, and he feels confident that the North west championship will go to the Gem State. This means that the opening game with Oregon must go to Idaho. For the past two weeks the various Southern Idaho players who expect to make the regular varsity team have been putting In some hard practice before leav ing for Moscow and are now In excellent trim. Half of the regulars are either from Southern Idaho and Boise arid they leave this week for Moscow to start early training with Coach Middleton.

The Idaho-Utah game is an addi tion to the schedule which, it is believed, will become an annual Thanksgiving event in the future. Idaho and Washing ton have for several years past met at Seattle on Thanksgiving day. but the es ,nkii.hanf nf ntHletin relations between Idaho and Utah probably means that bet ter terms nave oeen wmmwiicu the two State Universities. The reason that Captain Savldge looks forward to a successful season this year for his team is that many of the old players will be present and a number of new prospective stars will be worked into excellent shape. Paul Savldge, a brother of the varsity captain, is manager of the Idaho team this year. John Mid dleton, the graduate coach and inventor of the famous Idaho sweep play, will take charge of the eleven again this year. It is claimed, by those who know, that Mid dleton has some plays up his sleee which wiU be a surprise to the Northwestern colleges this Fall. He win work them out on the Moscow gridiron this Fall and probably spring them only during the lat ter part of the season. Captain Savldge wUl play his end posi tion as usual. Thornton, also of the 1907 team, will take the other end. Henry Smith and Jay Jellick are slated as tackles. Stokesberry and Pauls, guards last year, are candidates for the same positions. The back field will be snappier this year than ever before. Johnson will be at left half.
