Happy Hofran tried out a young pitcher rained Vance yesterday afternoon, and the youngster neemed to be anything but sure, of where he was tossing the ball, which resulted in Portland taking advan tage of his wildness and winning by a core of 6 to 1. Jack Graney mounted the hilltop In Portland's behalf, and. while Jack succeeded In passing almost as many to first as did the new emonlte. he had his strikeout curve working nicely and seated 11 of the Hooligans by the whiff route. These fanning bees help John Gladstone out of many precarious positions, and resulted yesterday in the visiting bunch being held to one lone run. While the came was more or less of a listless one It was enlivened by several double plays, as well as a triple killing performed by the Vernon tossers. while a triple play IS an unusual thing, yes terday's performance) by Coy. Brashear and Brown was of the made-to-order kind, made possible because of the reck less baserunning of the Portland players. Graney occupied third after having scored Armbruster in the third with a triple to center. Olson had walked, and when Fpeas hit a short fly to right field, Olson ran to second. Coy made the catch and the double at first was easy, but Graney made It a triple play by trying for the plate, being retired. Brashear to Brown. Brown had a great deal of bad luck In the fourth, and when the fifth inning opened Happicus Hogan. shinguards and all. went behind the bat. Happy was dis gruntled because Brown failed to stop a highly erratic throw by Charles Eugene Eagan which allowed Howard Guyn to score in the fourth canto. Portland got Into the scoring habit so often during the game that the fans lost count of the home guard's rungetting and contented themselves with watching J. Gladstone extricate himself from the many predicaments his wildness got him into each inning. In fact the ninth Inning was the only session In which there was not one or more Vernonltes populating the sacks. In the eighth the visitors got the sacks loaned.- but in that inning Oraney fanned Haley, Vance and Stovall, thus retiring the side and permitting the anxious basemnners to cool their heels In waiting for the hit that failed to ma terialize. The lone run scored by the visitors was due to a pass to Stovall. his steal of sec ond and a single hy Brashear. Reckless baserunning by Portland is all that kept Its score within the half dozen mark, for several runs were thrown away by trying to stretch hits or misplays to ex tra bases.

FANDOM AT RANDOM BOTH Portland teams were victorious yesterday, and as both Seattle and San Francisco were defeated, the fans buzzed some. There were enough bases on balls Is sued in yesterday s games to win a major league pennant. r. w : .. .....4 thai thma . 1 1- league clubs were after Anson Mott. the emon tnird-sacKer, ana a rioi neanj resulted. How the mighty Eagan has fallen! A few years ago they need to walk him to get the next man. and now they walk others to get him. Happicus Hogan calmly announces that Los Angeles Is but a suburb of Vernon, and so far has got away with it undisputed. Hogan entered the game yesterday aft ernoon clad like a gladiator going to a bull fight. However, he was meeker than the average gladiator now at large. Charier Armbruster caught his first game for several weeks, and did well. He should catch Graney all tne time. lor Jack need a steady man like Buster on account of his own wlldness. That triple play was hardly realized by the fans, for It was pulled off very quick ly. Still, it was a cinch play at that. Have you noticed the material advance In percentage made by the Oakland Club since Bill Reldy took charge? Two months so the Commuters had about .3:0, while now they have reached the .400 per cent mark. Vic Holm enjoyed one of his good days at Seattle yesterday and beat the llug daltan crew handily. Spokane, however, scored four runs in one inning off "Lefty" Miller. , Pearl Casey's Colts had the bulge on the Tigers yesterday, and Tom Seaton's masterly pitching gave the misfits a shut out. Both Philadelphia and Detroit were de feated yesterday, so the leadership of the American League is still a tie. But one had better watch that Boston bunch as well. s Pittsburg secerns to have recovered from that slump, and If the Pirates keep up the good work the Cubs will have to hustle even faster to catch them. With Sunday's double-header between Portland and Vernon, the Pacific Coast League will give way to the Northwestern organization, for MeCredle's Braves hit the road for five weeks. Casey's Colts will be home, playing every day for that period. Will Play Again for Tolo Cup. NEW YORK. Aug. 11.

Portland scored the only run of a brilliant contest today In the fifth in ning on two singles, followed by two bases on balls. Aside from this brief lapse, Bert Hall pitched masterly ball and sent Casey's hirelings back to the water bucket with great regularity. Seatou was invincible and, while the Tigers threatened to score In several Innlnss, he always tightened up and, aided by fast fielding, pulled out with a whole skin. Cooney Vnd Staton cut off what looked to be safe hits and by perfect pegs prevented scoring. The score was 1 to 0. The Tigers looked threatening in the second, when Klppert tore off a single and stole second with one out, and took third on an out. Downle was passed and stole second, Fournler making no attempt to head him off. Conrad, how ever, could not deliver the goods. In the third and fourth Portland got a man as far as third, but the needed hit was not forthcoming. It was in the fourth that the Tigers came the nearest to scoring. Hurley got the second hit off Seaton and was forced by Lussi, who was sacrificed to second, whence he attempted to score on Irby's slow Infield bounuer. He was nipped at the plate, though, by a hair on Kennedy's relay to Fournler after Irby was safe. In the flftn Crocker and Fournler hit In succession. On Seaton's attempted sacrifice, Crocker was forced at thin?. Bassey then walked, filling the bases. It was up to Cooney, who refused to bite at any bad ones, and a run was forced over. Seaton was caught at the plate on Adams' grounder, and Mayes was an easy out. Tacoma had a chance to even things up in the seventh, when Klppert sent a screamer over third which went to the fence. He stayed on secoi.fl when bv a sprint he might "have reached third. The next two batters lifted long files which would have sent the runner home had h6 been on third. Adams was fined $5 and put out of the grounds in the eighth: He hit in front of the plate and stood still, think ing it was a foul. When called out he made a careless gesture with his bat at the place where he thought the ball hit. which offended the dignified Frary. The score: TACOMA.

ITCH AGREED .ON Jeffries and Johnson Sign Ar ticles to Box. DECIDE WHO IS CHAMPION Scene of Fight to Be Selected in 60 Days and Battle to Be Within Six Months Later Jeff YiH Fix Division of Money. CHICAGO, Aug. 11. Articles for a light between Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson were signed here today, Sam Bergjer ap pearing for the "unwlilpped champion" and Johnson beins; present in person. The fight Is to take place within eight months before the club offering the best inducements. All bids for the fight are to be in inside of 60 days. Sam Berger, manager for Jeffries, George Little, Johnson's manager, and Jack Johnson, were present when the ar ticles were signed. Little, however, had nothing to do with the arrangements for the big fight, he having turned the whole affair over to Johnson. The articles pre pared by Jeffries were given Johnson by Berger. - Johnson Wants "Fight." After carefully perusing the paper, Johnson handed it back to Berger, re marking that it was not at all satisfac tory to him. He declared he was ready to sign agreements, but he wanted to sign an agreement to "fight." He then outlined what he considered would be a satisfactory arrangement. A warm dis cussion followed, and for a time It looked as if the meeting would be without re sults. After the articles of agreement had been framed the question as to which one of the two fighters was world's champion led to a red-hot discussion. Berger wanted It stated in the articles that Jeffries was champion. Johnson strenuously objected. "How did you ever become champion?" Berger asked with a sneer. "By whipping Tommy Burns." answered the black. "Jeffries gave the title to Hart, and Burns whipped Hart. Then I took it away from him in Australia. That's how I got it." "It's a lie," said Berger. "Jeffries never gave the title to anyone. He is still champion. Why, Hart got a decision over you and that should have eliminated you entirely." Black Says He Was Robbed. "Everybody knows how I was robbed of that . decision." replied Johnson. "Be sides, you know that Jeffries lost his claim to championship when he refuse! to fight me." Quiet was finally restored and then the question of a side bet was brought up.
