Is a most interesting sport, but when dished out in such ragged manner as that in which It was presented by the Portland and San Francisco clubs yesterday, the spectators who pay to see it should be entitled to demand their money back. It was absolutely the worst game of base ball ever played on the Vaughn-street lot and a monumental disgrace to a league which claims the class rating that the Pacific Coast League does. y San Francisco won out by the score of 9 to 6 simply because the Portland play ers threw the ball farther and pulled oft a few more dumb plays than did the Seals. As far as glory being attached to such a victory, there could hare been none for either team. The game itself would have shamed the Trl-Clty League or any other brush organization. Armbruster started to catch for Port land and. after contributing four wild heaves to second, in the effort to stop base-stealing, he was relieved by Fisher, who went along for a few Innings before he followed Armbruster's lead and threw the ball away several times. Jesse Gar rett was on the hill for Portland, and op posed to him was Slivers" Henley, the hero of the 25-innlng shutout game last week. Between the two, it must be said that neither showed any great amount of class. What Armbruster and Fisher did not do to give the Seals numerous oppor tunities to score. Garrett and other Port land players graciously contributed in weird heaves and inexcusable fumbles. However, San Francisco butted In with a spries of erratlo plays and these assisted Portland in taking a momentary lead In the fourth. It was while Portland had five to San Francisco's four that a mlscue put Hen ley on and. with two out. Garrett allowed a single by Tennant and a double by Bodle which put the frisky ones In the lead again. With one to the good. Fisher gave three more runs by a series of pegs to hnsps which were decidedly to the lim burger. whllo Garrett tossed one so far away that many thought it would never come back. Manager McCredie. very foolishly, in sisted on kicking himself out of the game in the first inning. After he was ex pelled. Speas played right field, but that was about all he did.

Prominent Livestock Men Over State Will Join In Raising Funds for September Show. Dlrectnm anA ln.M.u... - . land l-t if anrl T t.m.-t 1. . : . leading spirits in the Portland Hunt Club Biiu mo rtiversiae uriving Association will meet In conference at 5 o'clock this afternoon, at the headquarters of the Portland Fair. Hamilton building, for the purpose of discussing the campaign to secure the $25,000 fund for the Fall race meet and livestock exposition, which will uciu nero in eepiemDer. The Fair and Livestock nDnr.r. sisted to a considerable extent by the Hunt Club and Driving Association in n.o uvk maae last Fall, when nearly one-third of the amount required as a guarantee of a. aiir.eMfi,i raised, and a nubmer of the men behind Bnijuon nave promised to buckle Into the harness now and do all they can to arouse interest among their Individual membership. In addition to handling the fund-raising canvass in Portland, some of the prominent horsemen and livestock raisers throughout the state have been enlisted in the common cause. J. w Bailey State Dairy and Pure Food Commit sloner. has consented to do what he can toward organising the state campaign. He will be assisted by other directors of the Portland Fair, who represent different sections of Oregon. Among these are: Mat,ock- th livestock man and capitalist of Pendleton: Frank Fraser another leading breeder from the same city; Frank E. Alley, the foremost horse man and light harness race promoter of Southern Oregon, who halls from Rose burg, and Dr. T. W. Harris, of Eugene At this afternoon's meeting a move ment will be set on foot to district the state along lines somewhat similar to those followed out for the campaign In Portland, And the committees to have charge of this work will be headed by the Livestock Association directors above named. While it Is still a matter of discussion Portland will probably be asked to sub scribe for 50 per cent of the 3500 tickets to be sold and the other 60 per cent. It is expected, the various other sections of the state will handle. Portland will be covered first. The ten committees will start next Monday morn ing, and before the week Is over the cam paign will be extended throughout the illamette Valley, Southern Oregon and into the eastern part of the state. This suggestion is. however, subject to the ap proval of the meeting of this afternoon. All those interested in establishing Portland as the livestock center and ex change of the Pacific Coast are urged to attend, and to do what they can in prosecuting the season ticket sale to a successful conclusion.

Portland landed on Harry Rush for four singles and a double in the. seventh today and scored five runs, winning a game which had begun to look like a forlorn hope. Up to that time Rush had held them to two singles and no score. Kin eella. too, had been pitching great ball, working the corners with masterly skill. Seattle scored In the second when Mike Lynch led off with a double to center, advanced to third on a passed ball and scored when Chinault dropped a throw from Klnsella to catch Capron of first. From then on till the ninth Seattle got no more than one hit to an inning and was never dangerous. At the opening of the seventh Danny Shea's thumb was broken by a foul tip, and from then on Seattle's fortune changed. Bennett started It when he Juggled Adams' grounder. He went to second on Garry's single to third on Staton's bunt toward third, when Rush tried to catch him at third Instead of Staton at first. Garry took second and Fournier chased the three runners home with a screaming three-base hit to left. Then Murray scored Fournier with a single, went to third when Klnsella hit safe and came home when Cooney laid down a bunt- that came near upsetting the Seattle infield. Bassey ended it with a fly to Frisk. Seattle died hard In the ninth. Lynch drew a pass. Frisk sent him to third with a single and he and Frisk .both scored when Ouster hit to the fence. Crocker for Rush ended it with an easy grounder to Klnsella. Garry again led both teams at the bat, with three singles out of four times up, though Fournier made the hit that broke up the session. There was no fielding features. The score: SEATTLE. AB. If. H. PO. A. E. Akin. 8b 4 0 0 2 3 0 Raymond, ss 4 0 3 0 0 Bennett, 4 n 0 2 3 1 Lynch, cf 3 2 1 2 0 0 Frisk, rf 4 1 2 2 0 0 t'arron.

All the San Francisco players need to do Is to throw their gloves on the Held and McCredie' s bunch quits lnstanter! That is a nice way for a ball team to perform, especially players who draw money for their services. Ort, Johnson, Olson and Kennedy were the only ones who showed a little life yesterday. " After Sunday we can watch Casey's team work for four weeks, and McCredie Is in luck for on the Southern trip he does not meet San Francisco at all. This gives a little hope that the coasters won't drop Into the cellar. . Big Eddie KinBella had revenge for the defeat handed him Wednesday by beat ing Seattle yesterday. .Harry Rush got away with his game for six innings, but something dropped on him after that. Spokane finally rallied and saved a de feat which would have sent that team below the .500 mark. "Hasty" Wright worked nicely against the fast going Van couverltes and their defeat puts Port land at tie for third place again. Charley Mullln accompanied Casey down from Seattle yesterday, and the unfor tunate first sacKer will be laid up for some time. He sustained a broken ankle in sliding into second base at Seattle Tuesday, but says he hopes to be able to play again this season. . Mike Mitchell, who started the season as first baseman of the Portland team of 1905, did the same thing In a game In Portland early that year. Mike got Into the game again before the season was over, and the next year he was such a star Cincinnati drafted him, and he has been there ever since. At the rate the Indians are traveling backwards there is likely to be a new team in the cellar soon. Spokane had better liven up and get in the game. That team Is not crippled any more than Vancouver. Big Bill Chenault Is playing first base for Casey In the absence from the game of the manager himself, and Bill is doing nicely at that position. With Mullln and Casey out a big gap la apparent In that Infield. PROBE CRUELTIES AT Two Alleged Suicides at Cali fornia Institution Said to Be Suspicious. CASE OF BEATING CHARGED Effort to Hold Thorough Investiga tion Will Be Made, as Relatives of Patients Make Sensa tional Charges. LOS ANGELES, June 17. The Herald tomorrow will say an effort Is to be made to have two deaths and one al leged beating of inmates of the State Asylum for the Insane, at Patten, In vestigated in connection with the in vestigation into the death of Henry Grassmee, an inmate who died on May 9.
