Oct. 21 Portland did not display tta champlonahlp form today. Rather, the Reaver, with a full knowledge of a pennant roped and tied the forepart of the week, hlppo dromed throuch two aeaslona. the re sult of which readera have probably gurssed before this. The teals romped home with both games. In the mornlnr. It was Tommy Sea ton who refused to wear hlmaelf out. allowing a score of 1 to 1 to be run tip against him. Later In the day at Recreation Park, a good-slsd crowd that had come particularly for senti mental reasons and to witness the last of the year's work, saw Young, a Ban Rafael busher. beaten. 7 to J. Truth compels the assertion that young Mr. Young wasn't altogether to blame, and If corroboration Is needed, take a peek at the sine errors of the Portland players. McCredle was shy on talent and every man who turned up In uniform bad to get Into action. There were exactly nine men togged out In blue, with the boss In cltlxen'a clothes, play ing the part of an Indifferent specta tor. And those nine men were so switched around In their positions that the regulars had to rub their eyes to know whether, they were awake. Gewdby Is Farcical. It wasn't baseball It was Just a farcical goodbye and little wonder that the crowd was distrusted and started for the exits before the game was finished. The Seals were pleased, perhaps, with the outcome, because they helped their batting average on this, the last of last days, and the crowd-well. the crowd was suited with tbe alarming- levity of the frame. No records were broken but the eight and a half Innings were reeled off In an hour and eight minutes, which Is going some. Double plays were as thick as files In Summer time, occasioned, not so much by extra bursts of speed on the part of the fielders, as by reason of the don't care attitude of some of the base-runners In hiking; to first. Llae-ap. la ftalfted. The revised Portland line-up was a wonder. Chadbourne was shhlfted to short, with Rapps at second and Barry at first. as on Saturday. Moore, catcher of the day before, found him self out In right field, otherwise the regulars being left pretty much as they have been all the season. The morning game was very much of a Joke wltn strong hitting at times and loafing by the Northerners. Schmidt annexed the last home run of the season, while Weaver cot a pecu liar triple. Krueger, thinking the ball was over the fence, turned his back on the sphere. Instead, however, the ball struck Inside the fence and Wea ver landed on third, while Krueger was hustling after his lost chance.

HAPPT HOG AX MAKES FLANS Vernon Manager nn Throe , Blg- Ingners In Sight for Xext Season. LOS ANGELES. Cal, Oct. IS. Spo- claL) Happy Hogan's plans are all made, lie Intends going hunting until time to leave for the baseball confer ence In San Antonio, early In November. He will be a prominent figure at thai conference In the fight against big league drafting. From San Antonio Hogan will go East .to look for new players. Hap says he has three major leaguers in slirht. One is a shortstop. Hid i ayei, before the opening of an other season the Washington - street grounds will be improved by extending the bleschers around the entire field. Hap continued: "I realised all Summer that tho team we had to beat for the pennant was the Portland team, and I believe we would have won the pennant if we had had the luck I think was coming to us. "I give McCredle credit for hav ing a very strong team, but I have) no doubt about the outcome for the Tigers if we had had. the luck Mc Credle had. "Tho Tiger were weak at tho start Hosp started out to play grand ball and then hurt his arm. When he got into shape again he hurt It again, and then Kane and Brown were hurt, and some of the pitchers got eore arms. It was simply a case where we could not keep our team together, and. nat urally, we could not beat Portland, which was practically one team all sea son. One of our weak spots was that we bad no utility men. but we will look out for this next year. "I don't think Portland was any bet ter team than the others In the league, but McCredle was lucky In being able to keep his lineup practically intact. This was the principal cause of hie suc cess. "We will do even better next year. Game Goes) 19 Innings.

M'CREDIE REAL LEADER San Francisco Sporting Writer, In Rervlew of Baseball Tear, Pays Tribute to Manager of Portland Team. BT BARRT B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22. Today marked the close of the 1911 Pacific Coast League season. To all Intents and purposes, the league season was closed last Thursday afternoon when, by a shifting of the scenes, the Port land Beavers clnohed the right to the pennant for which they have been contending since early In the Spring. In 1910 It was said of the Coast y .. -oa thot tr wna the most re markable known for years. The same assertion can he repeatea louay. uuv with added force. In 1910 it was a two-team or a three-team race at best. This season there were five teams that, could be classed as contenders during . . . u t.' , . . .. - i.u, four and jiHTV U. Hie uumiireii still later three, until, during the last three weeks, it came to be a question of Individual supremacy between Port land and Vernon. The unexpected work of Vernon In coming so strongly to the front, par ticularly in the closing stages of the race, and especially because the club had not been figured as a contender, added to the interest of the season. Beat Team Victor. This was all the more true by rea son of the spectacular antics on the diamond of Happy Hogan and the pop uarlty which the leader of the vil lagers has rightfully attained. And for still another reason, the. season us, ended on the ball field has been well worth the interest displayed by tho fans In all sections the best team won. There can be no question of this; nor attempt to deny that the Portland club has stood head and shoulders above the other teams in the fight. In the pitching staff, in batting and in Inside baseball, the Portland Beavers have excelled far more even than the stand ing of the clubs would Indicate to the casual observer. Up to the last week there was suf ficient uncertainty as to the outcome to attract a world of attention. The Beavers, in the South, had beaten Ver non on the Villagers' own ground, but there was still left much time and many games. It remained for Oak land, however, to blight the hopes of the Vernon men and their supporters. Just as Sacramento had killed off Oak land the year before. McCredle's Leadership Shown. Two pennants won in a row are proof of the leadership of the man who head3 the Portland club and his ability to pick the right kind of ball players. That he has been assisted largely through his connection with the Cleveland Americans cannot be de nied. At the same time, the Inroads that were made in his 1910 club, whose star players went East, broke up the club to such an extent that it was questioned whether the Oregonlans could "come back" and even hold their own. If credit Is due any one individual on the team, that credit must attach to Buddy Ryan. The Portland center fielder, only a fair man the season be fore, came to the front at the outset as the leading batsman and his work has doubtless encouraged others on the club to hit stronger than would ordi narily be the case. It may be a strong statement to say that tho second best club in the league ran third and that the Hoganltes were lucky to keep so far up in the race. Although possibly subject to challenge, there are certain reasons that can be glvon. Fleldlna la Inconsistent. The diagnosis of the Oaks and why they are today in third position is far from easy. Wolverton seems to be the right kind of a leader and has a fairly strong team. If I were to haz ard a guess, however, it would be that the Inconsistent fielding of Cutshaw and Wares, both, particularly Wares, in the first two months, has been one fault, and the feeling of Insubordina tion that was created by Ka'l Mag gart another. Wares has Improved wonderfully since Spring, but he made many a boot that cost a game at the outset. The Vernon club has kept up In tho pennant fight chiefly because of a plentiful supply of sluggers. Inside baseball, while not an unknown quan tity, perhaps, with the Villagers, was noticeable by its absence, and it has long been an axiom that It took more runs for Vernon to win than for any other club In the league. Still, It Is quite as true that hits make hits and runs win games. Hence the proud position of the homeless Ver nonltes. ' Johnny Kane, a great run-getter, strengthened the club upon his arrival, and he has been one of the prime fac tors of late.
