McCredle's dauntless warriors, elated with tbelr previous successes of the week, went after that luckless tribe of Angels yesterday afternoon, and before rain made It necessary to call the grams at the commencement of the seventh. Portland had handled Elmer Thorsen rousrhly enough to amass six runs, while "Speck" Harkness administered the fourth straight coating of white warn suffered by the visitors this week. Incidentally. Portland moves Into sec ond place, by virtue of the phenomenal record established against the Angel enos. Yesterday's shutout also breaks all Coast records for similar perform ances between two clubs In a single series. The performances of the home team was all the mora interesting for the reason that while it advanced us a notch up the ladder. It was seen by over (000 rabidly enthusiastic fans who wars highly pleased with the swatfest and many of whom were loath to leave when the deluge plastered the field with such a coating of water and mud that further play was impossible. Four Rons In Opener. It did not require much time for. the boms team to get to Thorsen, for the first inning was his Waterloo. How ever, he was kept on the hilltop and his performance after that disastrous chapter was not so bad. though Mc Credte's huskies bunched some more blngles In the fifth chapter and counted two more tallies. Before the opening reception tendered Thorsen had concluded, four of the bustling bunch had crossed the place where runs are registered and games won. The quartet of aces can be at tributed to good hitting and base run ning by the home guard. Ivor Olson, the first man up. worried Thorsen for a free ticket. 8peas bunt ed and as no one theught to cover first, both runners were safe, for Jud Smith had to throw to Delmas at sec ond Instead of the initial sack. Del might have had Olson had he used VI. IKInlrfn. .nMMtii nr f Ron hnri overrun the bag. Amid the cheers of J the big crowd. Buddy Ryan, the hero of Saturday's game, came to bat. and his effort was a three-base drive be tween center and right, on which Ol son and Speas rode home. McCredle went out, Delmas to Dillon, without Ryan being able to advance, and Ote Johnson's effort was a pop fly to Orendorff. The catcher then had a paesed ball and Ryan scored. Ort was punctured by a wild shoot and took first, stealing second a moment after wards. Breen walked, and Gus Fisher scored Ort with a corking single to left. Harkness ended the strife with a grounder to Delmas. Total, four runs. Johnson Gets Two Sacks. In the meantime. Harkness seemed after a no-hlt pame. and for four Innings not an Angel reached first base. In the fifth, the first two were easily disposed of. but Jud Smith took first on Johnson's error. Harkness then fanned Delmas. In Portland's half. Speas opened by getting a pass. Ryan singled to left, and McCredie put both along a peg with a neatly executed sacrifice. Orendorff then tried to catch Rvan oft second and Speas scored, Ryan taking third on the bad throw. Ote Johnson slammed one for two sacks, which registered Ryan and Portland's total was sis. for Ote was morgued trvtng to steal third. The Angels got a late start, for the first two men up In the opening of the seventh reached first base; Dillon, on an Infield hit. and Beall on a pass. How ever, the elements butted in at this Juncture and the deluge chased play ers, umpires and spectators to cover. After waiting the regulation time of 30 minutes.- rain was still falling, so Vmplre Van Haltren announced that the game was called. Record for Coast League. Testerday'a shut-out makes a total of ST Innings in which the Angels have been held runless by the Portland team. Starting with Carson's famous no-hlt game, as well as the last two innings of the Wednesday game. Garrett. Gran ey and Harkness have accomplished shut-out ball against the I-os Ar.geles team. Something of a record, that, and it will be some time before it is equalled on the Coast, This Is the first time in the history of the Pacific Coast League that a Los Angeles team has lost an entire series, and the fact that the club was well In second place when the series started, adds to the glory of he achievement. Portland's success has been due to the wonderful fielding and gingery work of the players, as well as to the splendid fielding of the star quartet of twlrlers. The fielding of Olson and Breen has been especially remarkable this series. This week, commencing tomorrow . afternoon. Bill Reidy's rejuvenated Oakland team, will be the opposing nine on the Vaughn-street lot. From the manner in which the Portland team Is playing, the boys should take the series, though a clean sweep is hardly to be expected. Captain Dillon and .his sadly-bedraggled Angels left for home last . eight, where, commencing Wednesday, they meet the Vernon club at Lea Angeles.

A large crowd saw Scio and St. Paul play ball today. Only four Scio men showed up. and in order not to . sappolnt the crowd, local players hurried Into uni forms' and filled In and put up a rattling good game, and with the superb pitching of Schermer shut St. Paul out, 1 to 0. FANDOM AT RANDOM A CLEAN sweep of the series from Los Angeles has been the fortune of McCredle's bunch, but the poor Colts, hltiess and leaderless, suffered instead at the hands of Spokane. . However, the home fans will forget the Colts' performance in view of. the fine series played at home. They saw what happened to Los Angeles, but not the Colts, which makes the dif ference. Dug's crew came very near getting trimmed once more. AH that saved them was the time limit required to catch trains out of Black Catville. Stanley Roblson, owner of the St Louis National League club, stated that he thought he was in St. Louis when the flood gates opened yesterday. He says that is the way the weather be haves along the "levee" occasionally. The excellent fielding of Dick Breen and Ivor Olson has been a big factor In the winning streak of McCredle's team. Both players are working grand ly now and form a mid-diamond pair hard to beat in any league. The hitting of Buddy Ryan has also proven a most helpful medium, for the speedy Denverlte seems to have found the weaknesses of all the Angel pitch ers. Buddy was given a rousing ova tion on his first appearance at bat yes terday. It must tickle the cockles of Old Van's heart to hear the applause when he steps on the diamond to commence the game. In the opinion of the tans. Van Haltren is still and always will be a popular idol in the realms of the National game. ... The record for McCredle's men has set the California scribes to figuring. To beat a club like Los Angeles so hard and often Is enough to cause them to take some notice. . Manager McCredle is delighted with the way his team is playing right now, and says it will keep up the gait which started on the recent road trip when Portland won 15 and lost 11 games in four weeks on foreign -grounds. George Engle is now a member of the Seattle team. George was turned loose by Vancouver and Mike Lynch hooked him for the tobogganing Turks. George may help them at that. Manager Pearl Casey, of the North western League club, leaves today to Join the luckless Colts at Vancouver. Casey may take Pat May with him, for the Colts are in need of an extra out fielder. Al Carson, the hero of the ten-Inning, no-hit, no-run game of last Thurs day. Is due to open against the Oak land tribe, unless Manager McCredie decides to use Howard Guyn Instead.

(Special.) With Klllilay pitching another strong game, and with the Indians pinching everything in the field, there was no chance for Portland to escape a seventh straight drubbing. Score, Spokane t, Portland 1. Seven straight games won has been eoualed onlv otce this season, Aberdeen tuning that trick on Vancouver a few weelcs ago. The series, however, has not beet, without a contest. Two ganes ran overtime, or.e 17 and one 15 innings, and two others have been decided by a mar gin of one run only. Rooters Boost for Portland. The crowd was practically up to the seating capacity of the grounds, although perhaps 1500 short of the last Sunday with Seattle. Like a lot of other crowds at Portland games, there was a strong home delegation rooting for the visitors. There was actually a greater demonstration in the stands when Portland tied the score than when Clynes drove in the winnlrg run. ' Seaton pitched good ball for Portland, but .the hits against him counted. The Indians should have had another run, but for bum coaching by Jensen, who sent Aitman home to sure death on the hit ter's long drive to the fence. Nobody was out 'and Altman could easily have walked In from third on Weed's long fly Just following. Crowd Veils at Umpire. Klllilay yielded but three hits, fanned six, acid his wildness was not costly. Portland did not get another man past second 'than the one who scored. Gough, who has been hitting like a demon this week, drove In that run wlfh a double, Kennedy scoring from first, after two were out. Two close decisions helped the Indians. Altman slid Into third base In the first inning and Staton backed away from him Instead of Jabbing the ball on him. Frary properly called him safe, but the Portland boosters howled like scared pups. It was a bone play by Sta ton, and he got a call from his captain, but the crowd blamed Frary, of course. Altman easily scored on Brinker's grounder to Kennedy. Ostdiek bounced one off Staton's shins in the fifth, was sent to second on a sacrifice and scored on Clynes' solid rap to center. Crocker made a nice return and the play at the plate was close, but again Ostdiek slid under the receiving fielder. The score: PORTLAND. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Third Boat, Vencedor, Close Behind and Wind May Change Order at Any Time. CHICAGO, July 25-Running before a strong southwest wind all night, which grew considerably lighter with dawn, the 11 Chlcago-Mackinac racing yachts made good time up the western coast of the Southern Peninsula of Michigan. The leaders, the schooners Amorlta and Valmore, according to reports from points of contact, were running about five miles out from shore at evening, carrying full canvas and using the spinnaker sails to great advantage. At Frankfort, it ap peared the Valmore, the big Thompson schooner, was leading the Amorlta by a mile or more with a time allowance of 2:42:32. The third boat was the sloop Vencedor, which has an allowance of only 31 minutes over the Valmore. The outlook was that both Amorlta and the Vencedor were beaten, but a high wind might change the situation entirely. The small boats were reported from three to five hours In the rear, but their time allowances are heavy.- The Naiad at nteht had nearly eight hours in which to catch up with the Valmore. PROMOTERS SEEK WOLGAST Conqneror of Battling Nelson to Reach San Francisco Tomorrow. SAN FRANCISCO, July 25. (Special.) Ad Wolgast, who got a newspaper de cision over Battling Nelson at Los Angeles, will arrive in this city to morrow. Three promoters will meet him as he gets off the train, but It Is doubt ful whether Wolgast is in a hurry to sign up. v The city is filled with fighters at present, but none of them seems to have any great desire to fight, and the local public is Indifferent, having been sated with fight. Only a championship match would draw here now. Battling Nelson has sent word that he will rest for some time and under no conditions will he fight here In September. Jack Johnson is apparently broke, as he has wired local promoters to get him a match at once.
