THE MORNING OREGrOXIAN. .MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1911. 8 HALTS GAME 111 24TH INNING Beavers and Senators Tied When Umpire Is Forced to Stop Play. SCORE REMAINS AT 1 TO 1 Elmer Koestner and Jack Fltagerald Oppose Each Other In Master- ful Struggle Both Nines STicrtv Form to End. SACRAMENTO, CaL, Sept. 10. (Spe cial) The same between the Beavers and Senators this afternoon vent 24 Innings, the contest finishing lh a tie at 1 to 1, when Umpire McGreevy called the game on account of dark cess. The game equals the Coast League record. Elmer Koestner and Jack Fitzgerald opposed one another on the hill and both gunners pitched superb ball. Time after time Koestner tightened up when a score looked dangerous and out guessed a batsman, while Fltsgerald used his wonderful crossfire to great advantage, baffling the heavy-hitting Beavers at many turns. He fanned 14 men. The game might have been going yet but for the fact that the shadow from the grandstand made it difficult for the lnfieldera to judge the ball. When the game was called the players of both nines were on their feet fighting like mad. The fans howled long and loud for the home crew, while McCredle sat on the Portland bench and between gnaws at his finger nails Issued orders that held the Senators level with his vn clique. Tea Beavers ' Grt Ten Bits. The Beavers tapped Fitzgerald for 10 hits, but the Sacramento oitcher managed to keep the bingles well scat tered and avoided many tight places by crossing up s opponents. Lerchen. who virtually allowed the Beavers to copper tnelr lone tally in the fourth Inning, saved the game for his team in the 23d Inning. In the fourth inning Rapps, who led off for the Beavers, shot the ball to O'Rourke and was pegged out to Dan Big. Ryan singled and Krueger hit to Lerchen, who, Instead of shutting Ryan off at second, pegged Krueger at first and xtyan scored on Sheehan's double. Eheehan was thrown out by Thomas In an attempt to steal second base. Sacramento tied the game in the siixth Inning when Patsy O'Rourke sin gled down the right field line and scored on Danzig's rattling double to left. Smoke Drifts Over Field. Although the game was called on the conclusion of the 24th Inning on account of darkness. Umpire McGreevy was almost forced to call the game in the 22d on account of smoke. To the south of the ball park is a Chinese vegetable garden, and the Celestials were burning off stubble this after noon, clouds of smoke rolling into the grounds and obscuring ( the outfielders. McGreevy called the game for 10 min utes until the smoke cleared, and the game proceeded up to the time that the grandstand shadows interfered. A double-header was to have been played today, but the long game prevented. Score: Portland ISacramento - . Ab.H-Po.A-E. Ab.H.Po-A-E.

HOGAN'S-MEN FORMIDABLE First Game of Beavers' Lat Throe Weeks at Home Will Be Played Tomorrow, With Hender . son or Beaton In Box. BT ROSCOB TAWCETT. With a record of eight, wins, seven defeats and one tie game, Portland's Coast League club returns to the home pampas on Tuesday, after a fortnight's invasion of the Oakland and Sacramen to warring granges. On the same train will come Hap Hogan's Vernonites, who are scheduled to usher In the first series of the Beavers' three weeks at home. It will be Vernon's third and final appearance of the year. On the trip which closed with the 24-innlng affray yesterday the work of urn tsteen shines with luster, Steen hav ing won four of five starts. His aver age of hits was five per game. Portland has always had the bulge on the Vernon club on the home lot. and McCredie'e supportors are hoping iur a repetition oi tne other two series in this perhaps the crucial week of the Fall. In the May series, Portland won three and lost two, and in July won four and lost two. T one game post ponement In May will necessitate a double-header next Sunday, starting at 2 o'clock. Portland's record for the year with the Vernon Villagers Is 14 wins and 10 defeats. Vernon, of late, however, has taken a wonderful brace, and Hogan's men are now far ahead of Portland In the batting statistics, with a team aver age of .270 against .269 for the Beav ers, who are down in fourth plaoe In the willow department. Henderson or Seaton will probably open the series on Tuesday afternoon for Portland, with Stewart or Castleton opposing them. Seaton will probably be given the call. Henderson hurled one game last week, on Friday, win ning, 7 to 1; Harkness one game, los ing 1 to 0, and Koestner two games, losing 1 to 0 and tying the second, and Steen three games, all victories. McCredle had hoped that Bill Rodgerg would be In shape for the Vernon mix up, but the speedy lnflelder said yes terday that his , ankle would not be strong enough to' warrant his entering the line-up again this season. He may, however, be taken along on the final road trip In October. The coming series Is most Important because if the Vernons clean the boards there will hardly be any stopping them before October 22. On the other hand, four or five of the affrays on the black ink side of the Beaver Ledger will bunch the leaders again and pave the way for a neck-and-neck burst down the pennant highway. Perls Casey, erstwhile Roadster seo-ond-sacker, reconsidered his intention of whiling away the remainder of the ball season and left Saturday night to Join the Tacoma Tigers. Casey was stationed at the keystone In both of yesterday's games against Seattle. He got away with some excellent fielding work, but failed to land in the hit col umn. A rumor flew the rounds yesterday that Casey had been offered the man agement of the Tigers for next year, but there is probably little foundation to it, for Lynch is said to be extremely solid both with President Shreeder and the Tacoma fans. "Undue patriotism" oost Umpire Steve Kane his job with the North western League several weeks ago. This solution of the mystery surround ing the dismissal of the ex-National League official is forwarded by Presi dent Wattelet, of the Victoria club, which closed a series here yesterday. "Kane was umpiring In Victoria at the time and was surly as the pro verbial dog In the manger," said Wat telet, "One afternoon In opening a game he strode to the center of the diamond, leered out at the orowd and yelled: ' "'Bat'rles today etc. "Kane not only failed to omit the usual prelude: "Ladies and gentlemen,' but refused to don his cap when the orowd squealed. "1 would If I were In the United States, but not to a 'Canuck,' said Kane sarcastically. "We couldn't stand for that Insult and Kane's head came off the next day," added Wattelet. The average annual production of the celebrated Smyrna figs is 860,000 hundred weight, nearly all of which is exported, chiefly to the United States, the United Kingdom. Germany. Austria and PTanoe. BEES' BUNTS ARE 'S E Victoria. Wins First Game o Double-Header and Se ries With Portland. ROADSTERS SAY GOOD-BYE Superior ' Pitching of Bloomfleld Wins Second Contest, Winding Up - Xorthwestern Leogne Season In Thle City. Victoria's cellar champions won thsir third series of the season yesterday by splitting a double-header with the Port. land Roadsters, winning the first game, 7 to . through Maxmeyefs inability to field wriggly bunts, and losing the second, 2 to 0, on acount Of the su perlor pitching of Bill Bloomfleld. The series stands five games for Vic toria and two for Portland. Prior to this week the locals had won 14 straight Kames from the Canadians. Wattelet's braves feasted off Seattle in the two other series resting In the won box. Three thousand fans were out to see the much-touted prodigy, Maxmeyer, youthful southpaw with a corksorew delivery. Maxy's mother, sister and two brothers were also prominently lined up In the grandstand to see their hero win his fourth conseoutive viO' tory. . Ounta Are Effective. But the Lents lad's home folks didn't figure "Ducky.',; Holmes, Victoria's new manager, in " the deal. "Bunt the busher," ordered the astute ex-big leaguer. And bunt the. Canadians did. The first three men up filled the bags safely on Infield taps, two scoring on Kennedy's single to right and two more registering on Clementson s anve to center. This virtually stored the game away, although the Bees added another bunt or two occasionally -and Drougnt xne total up to 14 hits, while eight was the best Portland could do witn n;ricKson. . - "Lefty" Miller, the ex-Oakland heav r. who beat the locals 4 to 1 on Mon day, mounted the mole in the second game, and, while he heaved fair ball, eight hits, Bloomfleld outpitched him, spreading five hits over four different lnnlna-s. Portland won this affair, 2 to 0. - Some Slagging Accomplished. Tim itiB-s-lnir of Mundorff.

WORLD MARK MADE FAIRLY Dr. .George K. McDowell, of Spo kane, Declares Great Athlete's Other Performances of Day Show Hla Splendid Form. SPOKANE. Wash., Sept 10. (Spe cial.) The alleged confess'on of For rest Smlthson. world's champion hurd ler, that the record-breaking dash of Dan Kelly over the 100-yard course at Spokane, June 23, 1906, timed at a-t seconds, and officially accepted by the Amateur Athletic Union, was a frame- up, has aroused keen resentment. Dr. George K. MacDowell, who was referee of the meet, says: "In my of ficial capacity I looked at all four timers' watches. Three watches showed 9 3-6 seconds, one 9 2-5 seconds. I can remember positively the names of only two of the timers. They were J. x. O'Brien and A. D. Campbell, of Spo- kane. I think A. F. Goldsmith, of Seattle, was another. These men were all veteran timers. "The course was surveyed by an en glneer, but Just as soon as we discov ered we had a world's record, it was re- surveyed officially and found officially exact Dalbert Twitchell, an attorney still In Spokane, oollected all the evi dence and submitted it to the A. A. u. and there was no difficulty when the association officially adopted the rec ord. "There was no wind, the course is not downhill, and the weather condi tions were nothing more in Kelly's favor than that it was an ideal Sum mer day. Kelly's other performances of that day indicate that he' was in mag nificent fettle. He ran the 220-yard dash around a slight curve in 211-5 seconds, equaling a world record; did 23 feet 9 1-2 Inches in the broad jump, and ran the last quarter of the mile relay in equally phenomenal time, as well as going 5 feet 9 inches in the high Jump. "Xobody ever challenged his .phe nomenal Jump record, because it was there marked off to be measured over and over again, if necessary. "Smlthson's confession is a fabrlca tion, pure and simple. There was no reason for a 'frameup,' as he suggests. I never met Kelly before in my life, nor any of the men Smlthson mentions in his story." White Salmon Wins Game. WHITE SALMON, Wash., Sept 10. (Special.) The S. P. & S. team, with ilonroe and Herechler as the battery, was defeated today by White Salmon, 1910 and 1911 champions of the Co lumbia River League, score 5 to 2.
