PETRAIN. Erratic fielding behind young Roy Wlllett in the first inning of yesterday's matinee with the frisky Seals, and the ex-college twlrler's own wild toss In the fourth Inning, lost the game to San Francisco by the score of 8 to 2. Silvers Henley, the recent bridegroom, was on the mound for S. F. and, after the first Inning, he was the original Mahatma in the mystery-working line. The first inning was a runfest for both teams. The Seals started off when Wll lett passed Zelder and Mohler on wide ones. Tennant sacrificed neatly, and Bodie struck out, which tnade things look, favorable. However, someone cut the string, or It may have bee,n the fem ininity present or George Schreeder's pas sionate purple hosiery anyhow, .Melchior connected for a safe drive to center, which was good for a single. It should have allowed only one run, but Buddy Ryan did the misjudging act and the ball bounded off his shoulder to the fence. Mel. brought up at third and Mohler and Zelder did the ping pong stunt with the gong. The attenuated personage known by various appellations such as "Slivers" and "Cackle" then smilingly mounted the hill for the purpose of showing up the Portland batsmen. His Intentions were of the very best, as was evidenced by his work in the remainder of the same, but he lost his range-finder on Buddy Ryan, and the Denverite walked. Speas Brings In Two. Ivor Olson attempted to sacrifice, but he wafted and squatted. "Heiney" Speas was not so easily disposed of, for the ex-Clevelander punched one on the beak for a cushion, and two were on, await ing the reliability of Manager Walter, and Manager Walter was not the least feazed by the galaxy of femininity. He biffed a double to right, scoring Ryan and Speas, but was morgueu trying to play the hog act at third. Had he been satisfied with two sacks, Henley might have been slaughtered but what's the use? With one out In the fourth, Willett passed the "hltless wonder," McArdle, and then threw the ball away trving to net his gift back by catching Mac oft first, and the runner skated to third. Olson booted Henley's poke long enough to permit McArdle to score. The next inning Spek Harkness was on the mound, and he had the Seals stand ing on their heads in the Vain endeavor to knock the covering ofT the ball. It was a fine game, even though we d!d lose, for errors are in the game. The boys, while they booted a few, played hard all the time and contributed no bone-headed exhibitions such as marred the opening game. While the larger portion of yesterday's gathering was composed of the fair ones, lieorge M. Schreeder, owner of the Ta-i-oma Northwestern League club, which opens here next wee'n. and President William H. Lucas, -of that organization, graced the stands with their presence. George liked the game Immensely, but he thought some of the errors resembled Class Z Instead ot Class AA. HoMilts as Compiled by Seorer.

Salem High School defeated the University at base ball this afternoon by the score of 4 to 2. The University team went up in the air in the seventh inning and allowed four ruhs to cross the plate for Salem. In this inning Henkle, the Oregon pitcher, walked two, then Kay filled the bases, by a bunt which was not handled. Then an easy ball was knocked to Jameson on first, who threw wild to home, allowing two runs to cross the plate, and then a grounder to first brought in another run from third, while a wild throw to second by the catcher allowed the fourth Salem lad to come home. The Salem High School infield showed great form. Kay and Roberts both hit Henkle tor two-baggers. Newland, second baseman on the varsity nine, in the third inning, sent a drive to left field which netted him three bags. Van Mar ter then drove one to right field which brought In the only earned run of the game. Ashenfell pitched a brilliant game for Salem, allowing four hits, striking out nine, giving but two bases on balls. Henkle fanned 11 and walked three. Score : R. H. E. University of Oregon 2 4 2 Salem High School 4 3 3 FANDOM AT RANDOM 1 HARKNESS, the speckled beauty youngster on McCredie's pitching staff, might . have won yesterday's game had he started the melee. Instead of Willett. Willett did well enough to win most games, but he was so unsteady, after he tossed the ball away, that Manager Walter decided to switch. Still the Seals are hard to beat with any pitcher on the mound. Ed Pinnance, Casey's Indian twirler. has struck his gait, and has now won two games in a row for the Northwest ern team. The "Chief Is there with the goods all of the time. "Spider" Baum had revenge on the Los Angeles team yesterday. He was batted out of the box on his first ap pearance against his former team mates, but he put it all over them yes terday. Casey's team will play in Vancouver, B. C, Sunday, and on that account the Northwestern League season will not open here until Tuesday. President Lucas and Hugh McCredle were notified to that effect yesterday. Johnny Fournier. the Northwestern League catcher, was sent in to bat for Armbruster in the ninth yesterday, and negotiated a hit, but two were down at the time, and his effort counted for naught, as Ort. who batted for Hark ness, fanned. The Vernon team seems to have all kinds of an edge on the Oakland bunch, for Happicus Hogan's outfit has won four straight games from Van's crew this week. "Southpaw" Tonneson was the victim of the Vernonites yesterday. Bodie, the slugging kid of the Seal team, fanned three times yesterday. The first time up Willett got him, but his next trip resulted in a two-bagger. Harkness had his Angora and fanned him both times he faced the speckled one. . Roily Zelder, after feetting a walk the first time up, was helpless at the bat thereafter, willett disposed of him twice, and Harkness was invincible against the clever Seal thlrd-sacker. Roily, however, made a couple of nice catches of foul flies. Umpire Jimmy Toman allows the players absolutely too much liberty on the field. One of the talkfests held yes terday lasted exactly six minutes, whereas one second should have been more than plenty. These nine-inning; games lasting two hours and more are tiresome. BELL TO ENTER SILVER DART Aeroplane to Compete In Heavier Than Air Contests. NEW YORK. May 7. It is probable that Dr. Alexander Graham Bell's, aeroplane, the Silver Dart, now at Baddeck. N.

TO THE" VOTERS OF THE SECOND WARD: I 'believe it my duty to. advise the voters of the Second Ward that the letter purporting to be signed by five electors, advocating the re-election of my opponent, H. W. Wallace, for Councilman, was prepared and caused to te circulated by George S. Shepherd and L. A. McNary, two lawyers, who do not reside in the ward or -have any interest therein, and whose business is largely in the interest of the "franchise grabbers" and those seeking "special privileges" from the Common Council. The fact that Mr. Wallace recently voted for the so-called "blanket franchise" and has an attentive ear for the various "special interests" for which Messrs." Shepherd and McNary so sealously labor, may in a measure account for their efforts in his behalf. W. W.
