This young chap onca gained tha distinction of shutting tha Beavers out with only two bits when Portland played' tha Oaks at San Francisco, but yesterday tha Heavers bad revenge. Tii third, fourth and fifth Innings proved the undoing of tha Oakland youngster. Portland tallied runs In each of these frames and Woiverton then chased tha kid and substituted Tyler Christian, who held Portland run less for tha rest of tha game. 3alckey La Longe opened tha third with a tap to Wares, who juggled and tha runner was safe. Henderson sac rificed, and Chad bourne drove a two bagger to right which counted tha one time Oak. Patterson mada a couple of nice catches of fries from Rodgers snd Rapps. rstlrtng tha side.

Rodgers' hit to Cutsnaw sent Chadbourne t second, but Benny was held at third. Bill Rapps drove a long fly to Huffman and Henderson counted after tha catch. Buddv Ryan was hit by a pitched ball, and Krueger'a effort was a fly to Pat terson. Oakland put over a braca of runt In tha seventh, which brought forth a atorra of protest from tha Portland players who tried to convince "Old Po'k" Van Haltren that ba waa several strings off tha key when It cama to umpiring. The big wrangle waa due to a dispute as to whether Kruee-er touched Mttse e hit whl-h went Into tha center field crowd, and It scored as a boma run. respires la Marlarraaa. Tledenaann waa first man up and doubled to tha left fence. Cutshaw fouled to La Longe, and Tledemann was retired at third when Wares bunted to Henderson. Wares stole second and scored on Mltxe's drive to center. Krueger raced In on the hit In the effort to trap tha ball, but It got away from him and went Into tha crowd, which entitled the batter to two sacks only, unless It was touched by Krueger. Van Haltren held thet the fielder touched pe ball and allowed Xlts to score. The Oakland and Port land players promptly rushed at tha umpires, who wera as badly fuddled aa a British member of Parliament argu ing with a lot of suffragettes. Suffragettes do cot use violent lan guage, as a rule, so It la possible that Van Haltren and Finney were treated a little mora unkindly than tha antl eriffrage peer.

Tacoma 2, Portland 2. With tha above as the closing chorus, the curtain was rung down on the final act of the baseball season of 111 so far as Tacoma Is concerned, at the ball farm this afternoon. The final curtain saw villain Nlco demus William's In the center of the stage, with a prostrate Tiger at his foeL The fans went home with a dark brown taste In their mouths and the agony was over. Vale, horsehlde, ava pigskin, as Publlus Verglllius Maro would have put it It la seldom that the fans are treated to a show like that staged In the open ing scene today. It started to be a dark and gloomy tragedy, with the hero as the recipient of all kinds of things, the dreadful uncertainty and the old. old specialty of hope, once crushed to earth, arising with each en suing Inning. It sure was some mel lerdramer. ' Villain Tweeds Whetted Ax. The worst feature, however, was the failure of the heroine to appear upon the scene Just as our gallant lads were about to get It in the neck. The Eleventh street cable must have broke down, for she was delayed in transit and the Bengals got It right where the turkey gobbler blocked a right swing with an ax. Mere written language pales before the task of describing what villain Williams and his cut-throat crew did to the Tigers. The star rooter was a voiceless wreck when the final curtain fell, while the fans were glad that the season bad passed. Another afternoon's pastime of that character would have filled to overflowing a certain state in stitution lying In the neighborhood of Stellacoom. It suffices to say that three pitchers. regular sure enough hurlers too, went upon the mound to do things, but weiv did unto. Merely pitchers like Eastley, sent Iff to fill holes In the Portland line up,, swatted the ball with the Idle abandonment of T. Raymond Cobb or H. Wagner. The runs came over in duets, trios, quartets, and In the sixth Innlnir a sextet romped over the pan. Oh. oh. oh, the horror of It all I Second Game Tearless. The deep, blonde villain with the cruel, cruel ways, kept urging his ac- cessorles to further pillaging while the fana hoped and yearned for the heroine who was to -foil him and make the heroes of the plro assert their rights while tha villain slouched up stage and muttered: "curr-r-ses, foiled again!" Tacoma strove vainly, a quintet getting around the circuit In the fourth inning and a quartet registering at the home station In the sixth, but after that the villain waa In supreme controL The second plro was a bright and sketchy little chunk of serio-comedy playing.

Is at stake, the coming battle between Champion Jack John son and Bombadler Wells, the English tltleholder. Is not causing a great deal of excitement In sporting circles. Even the big purse of $40,000, the largest ever given for a prize fight outside ths United States, has not stirred the pub lic to enthusiasm. If opposition can be considered ad vertisement, the fight has received such from as widely divergent sources as the sporting writers and the pulpit. Most of the pugilistic experta writ ing for the sporting papers continue to criticise Wells' backers for permit ting him to battle against the cham pion. These writers agree In describ ing Wells as a promising but Inexperi enced fighter, and they deplore the blight to his career which a defeat at this time would entail. Rev. F. B. Mier of Regents Park ChapcL has denounced the proposed match from his pulpit as a brutal prize fight which should be prevented by the law which permits only boxing con tests. He spoke of It In one sermon as a prize fight said there ought to be enough Christians in this country to make It impossible. Apparently unmoved by the opposi tion to their meeting, the champion and Wells are hard at work at their respective training quarters, Johnson In Paris and Wells at Lelgh-on-Sea and Earls Court. When the black champion left here for the French cap ital he was fat, and If he gets down to fighting weight by October 2 he will have to put In some strenuous work over the boulevards.

Frank Whitney, of Chicago, won the deci sion over Ray Campbell, a local light weight, in a ten-round contest here today. Whitney knocked Campbell down In the first, ' second and ninth rounds.

"Fan ning is a young twirler and one of the most promising I have ever seen," says Long of his recent.recrult- "He knows that he does not 'know It all and Is willing to learn." a The Pacific Coast League schedule for the coming week shows: San Fran cisco at Portland; Los Angeles at Ver non; Sacramento at Oakland.

"Funny If Oakland would catch up and win this game," piped Fan No. 1 In the stand when Mitze was allowed a homer on the drive that went Into the centerfield crowd In yesterday's game. "Nothing 'funny' about it," growled Fan No. 2. "Finney; Not funny." And another brickbat bouquet missed the umpire, for It was Van Haltren'a decision.
