Sheehan threw the ball to center field. But Kuhn was out stealing sec ond. In this inning Rapps made a beautiful running catch of Thorsen's fly to right center.

Pecklnpaugh made a phenomenal one-handed catch of McDonnell's grounder and threw him out at first In the second half of the inning. In the seventh Stewart and Brown were put In the points for Vernon and the Beavers scoring stopped, in ver non's half Steen walked Carlisle and Burrell, who scored when Ross tripled to the right field fence. The crowd went mad with joy. Kuhn nailed Ross at the plate at this stage. In the eighth McDonnell walked. Koestner then relieved Steen In the box. Brown fouled to Peckinpaugh.

M'GREDIES WILL FIGHT EFFORT TO BE MADE TO SE CURE HENDERSON'S RIGHTS. Owner of Portland Club to Appeal to National Commission to Bring Reinstatement. Who Is the Interested party In the Pa elflo Coast League who called the Na tional association's attention to the fact that Ben Henderson was ineligible to play with Portland because he Jumped a Pacific Coast League contract? Why should the fact that Henderson Jumped a Pacific Coast League contract make him any more ineligible than if he had Jumped from some other league? The above questions are pertinent to the Henderson case, and both will be for cibly presented to August Herrmann chulrman of the National Baseball Cora mission by Judge W. W. McCredie, president of the Portland club, wtro wants these "whys" answered to his own satisfaction. "I do not Relieve this banishment of Henderson -will stick under the circum stances." said President McCredie, of the Portland club, yesterday. "When Henderson Jumped us In 1907 he did so knowingly and quite well realized the part he was playing, but be listened to the blandishments of Cy Morelng and the other State League magnates and by so doing he lost everything he has. "As far as I am concerned, or the Portland club Is concerned, I think this young man has been , puslshed severely enough, and when the National associa tion admitted Cy Morelng into the fold, I believe Henderson IS likewise entitled to consideration, especially since he has made his peace with us. The Portland club is the club against whom Hender son offended, and since we are agree able that he should be reinstated. I do not understand why any other Pacific Coast League representative should in terest himself in the matter. "I shall take this matter up with the National Commission, because I believe in Justice In baseball matters, and, aa a rule, that body deals It out fairly." President McCredie Is preparing his letter to Chairman Herrmann and this will be forwarded to the highest baseball court In a few days. Game) Sunday Will Be Test. 'HOOD RIVER, Or.; April 7.
