Portland fans witnessed one of the best twirling exhibition of the season yesterday when Klawltter held the Sacramento Senators to three hits and blanked 'them. 4-0. for the fourth and deciding- Portland victory of the series. Fnr on re. however, ohenomenal heav ing was relegated to the background In favor or a Iistic aiiair on uuiu tha hattarad Sacramento hulk The trouble germ was bred in the sixth inning, when Irelan. Senator shortstop. Ignored the waiting glove of Patsy O'Rourke at second and tossed to firm. Jlmmv Lewis, left fielder, ad vised Irelan to toss to first Instead of taking a chance on a close play at second. Two runs were scored In the Inning, and when the losers-to-be reached the bench O'Rourke was seeth In sr with rage. One word led to an other and the son of Erin rose from his seat, made an unsuccessful swat at Uwls, and a fight was oniy avertoa by the Sacramento non-combatants. O'Rourke I Banlabed. Instantly the crowd was aroused from the lethargy caused by a too apparent Beaver victory, while umpires. players and Deputy snerm aieisger Instantly were at the scene of the trouble. O'Rourke was banished from the game amidst a chorus of jeers, while Lewis displayed a pair of dam aged knuckles after the affair, but he proved a bad judge or aistance nu connected witn a Doara insieau Lewis' jaw. The trouble may result In the indef Inite suspension of O'Rourke. Umpires McCarthy and Casey will make a written report to President Baum. and while players talk of a "Joke wrestling match," etc. Patsy a temper, preceaea bv a verbal outburst which reacnea the farthest ends of the stand, was too evident to permit a plea of a not guilty to the charge of riotous con duct. But as to the game, Klawltter was faced by only II men In nine innings, only three men reaching first on hits, and the only occupant of third base achieving that station by virtue of a walk, a stolen base and a passea d&u. In addition the husky Beaver mound- man struck out seven batters, Kreltx and Gllllgan each succumbing twice. Senator's Tram Crippled. But after all a victory over the team Sacramento Dlaced on the diamond yes terday was doubtful glory. With Mil ler and Van Buren on the hospital list, Kreltx ready for a sick bed. but only working because Cheek was afflicted with cramps, and Patsy O'Rourke with drawn In the seventh Inning, notning but a semblance of a team remained to lace the Irresistible Klawltter. Johnny Williams, a pitcher, was placed in center field; Heister was at first again, and Pitcher Arrelanes was stationed In right field and sninn hunted to second when O'Rourke was banished. The first two Portland tallies came In the second Inning without a hit. A walk, two stolen bases and three er rors tell the tale. Rodgers walked and stole second. Krueger fanned. Fisher was safe when Heister failed to place tils loot on first. A double steal was started, Kreltx tossing the ball over second and Williams letting It get by him. Both men scored before the sphere was re turned to the plate. Beavera Find Gllllgan. Gllligan no longer may say that he has lost only one game with the Sen ators In legitimate fashion, for the sixth inning proved the contrary Lindsay opened with a single to left.

The crowd was so excited over the scrap that It forgot tha time-honored custom of rising to Its feet at the closa of the first half of tha seventh ranlnc. Gllllgan pitched a good game, allowing only six bits, but It was not In the cards for him to humble hie old team mates on the soma grounds.

Carson Bigbee, the Albany boy who went to V ancouver, B. C, last Tuesday to Join the Vancouver team of the Northwestern League, returned home today, having refused to sign a con tract under the terms offered.

Bigbee refused to do this. After watching Bigbee work out. Brown admitted he had the ability to make good on the Vancouver team, but refused to give him a try-out for the reason that he didn't want to break up the comb'natlon of his Infield, which is working satisfactorily. Ho was anx Ioub to hold the lad for next year, how ever, and offered satisfactory terms from a financial viewpoint, but as he would not give Bigbee a try-out for the Northwestern League team, the lad de cided not to sign up and returned home. Bigbee will play the remainder of the season with the Albany Athletics In his customary position at third base, and will resume his school work this Fall. He has one more year of high school work and then expects to enter the University of Oregon.

TACOMA TIGERS ARE NEXT Record for Three Weeks on Road Is Nine Victories and 13 Defeats. Beavers Will Begin With Oakland This Week. With a record of nine victories against 13 defeats for the three-weeks triD on the road, the Portland Colts, leaders in the second division of the Northwestern League, will return today for the opening of Berles this afternoon with Lou Nordyke's Victoria Bees. The Colts will be home two weeks, meeting Tacoma a week from today. Off to a bad start last week the Bees came to life with a Jump a few days ago and are in condition to give tne Colts a tough struggle for tne seven game series. Two and one-half games separate the clubs, which promise to struggle for fourth position until the close of the season. The Colts won one series, broke even on another and lost a third by a wld margin. The victory, four against three, was over the Spokane Indians. Williams' squad broke even with Ta coma. winning four and losing four, but lost six in seven games to seattie. Scores are Large aa Rule. In the majority of games during the three weeks' trip it was necessary for tha Colt sluggers to pile up a total of from five to 10 runs to win, which is not a great tribute to the ability of the twlrlers. Many of the games were lost by one-run margins, particu larly those of the disastrous Seattle series. Callahan, the twirling recruit of tne defunct Washington State League, pitched a good game yesterday morn ing, surprising the fans, but Bloora Seld. who worked in a two-hit game against Spokane, had another one of his bad days, the afternoon atiair giv ing the Tigers their first even break a many weeks. Nordyke will use Kantlenher, his new heaver from California, against the Colts this afternoon, while W 11 llams probably will start either Tonne son or Veazey. Jimmy Toman, who has not been Been here this year, will umpire this week. Beavera Go to Oakland. The two Coaster teams left last night for the South, McCredie taking 16 men to Oakland for a serieB and Van Buren piloting his squad back to the Sacra mento lot. Gober, utility inflelder, and Burch, Injured backstop, were left behind by the Beavera McCredie says that either man or both may be used by Nick Wil liams in case of need. The possibility of several double headers, with two postponed games with Oakland and two with San Fran cisco, caused Manager McCredie to take the entire twirling squad. s "Ain't it funny that a fellow fights with his best " pair" queried Patsy O'Rourke. after the Lewis Incident of yesterday. "Why, Jimmy is one of my best friends and we have lived In the same house together, yet we got into an argument and were ready for the biggest kind of a sorap." Lewis had nothing but the kindest of feeling for Patsy after the game, real izing that his former boss was the victim of a hasty temper. The Sacramento "team is sorely in need of relief men. Miller, the first baseman, injured his left ankle in Fri day's game and will be out for two weeks. Van Buren has a bad ankle which will keep him out for a week, while both Kreitz and Cheek, the catch ers, are on the sick list. In addition, Charlie Baum has an attack of tonsill tls, which promises to keep him off the mound the greater part of a week. as The final victory over Sacramento en abled the Beavers to leave home with a record of nine games won, against eight lost, for the three weeks' at home. Sacramento broke even on the last trip North and after taking two games in a row had hopes of repeating. Klawltter's stellar work was too much for the determination of the battered Senators. Olympic Stars In France. COLOMBES, France, July 28. Sev eral members of the American Olympic team took part in a series of sports here today. Ralph Rose, of the Olym plo Athletlo Club, San Francisco, won the shot put with 11 loot, flva inches. T WINS FOR COLTS Tigers Can't Solve Callahan's Benders and Lose Morn ing Game, 3-1.

The morning session was a pitchers' battle in which the better support was given Callahan by the Colt hitters and was won by Portland by a score of 3 to 1. The afternoon game went Into the Tiger gamebag by a count of 13 to 4. Bloomfield was hit to all corners of the lot and his support wobbled in various ways. Although the morning game was far the better of the two, but a few hun dred fans attended. Callahan and Hall both had curves of the most dazzling variety, but the Portland batsmen hit at opportune times, while the Tigers were unable to respond in the pinches. Colt Scot at Outset. The visitors practically grabbed the game In the first inning when a single. a triple and another single put two runs across. Fries led with the first hit and was followed by Cruikshank with a three-bagger. McDowell s sin gle brought home the slugging Port land left fielder. Portland's last run was made in the seventh inning through the medium of a single by Williams, a sacrifice by Moore, and Callahan s single. The Tigers made their only run in the eighth inning, when Lynch tripled and Goodman fol lowed him with a single. Bloomfield had little or nothing in the afternoon game, but with a. swarm of relief pitchers on the bench, Will iams kept him in the box. The Tigers started out with two runs in the first Inning, one in the second and another pair in tha third. Then came a breath ing space of two innings. In the sixth the Bengals added four more and braces were acquired in the seventh and eighth. Bloomfield's Support Weird, In addition to poor pitching, the support accorded Bloomfield was weird and was marked by two plays which might be properly catalogued as "bone- headed." Williams permitted Neigh bors to score from second on an In field out in the eighth Inning while he languidly tossed the ball to Bloomfield. Butch" Belford did not have a great deal on the ball, but the support he received was all that could be desired. The "kid infield" which Lynch has assembled is playing a brand of ball which will make the old-timers hustle in order to keep on the payroll. Holder- man, McMullen and Jansen all playing star games. Coltrln drew his dally fine in the morning game and was also put out of the game and grounds for "crabbing."

FUEL TEST RACE IS HELD Ten-Mile Contest Is Captured by Peppel After Leader Has Col lided With Fence Another Meet to Be Labor Day. Harry Brandt, riding a Thor motor cycle, was the star of the Portland Motorcycle Club's meet yesterday, cov ering one mile in 54 1-6 seconds. Brandt made the time in the 10-mlle affair for seven horse power machines and apparently had the race won by a big margin when his machine crash ed into the fence, hurling its rider, un hurt to the ground. The 10-mile contest was won by Peppel, astride an Excelsior. Peppel was a good second until Brandt suf fered his mishap, and then took the lead. One of the prettiest races of the day was won by Brush, on a Merkel, after being tied, or nearly so, with Belitske. on a Thor, for about five miles. The event was an eight mile race for four horse power machines. One of the most unique events yet staged at the meets of the club was Inaugurated yesterday when a race to test gasoline consumption was run Brush, on a Merkel, exceeded all ex pectations by going 6 and 5-8 miles on one soda pop bottle of fuel. Brown traveled at high speed, close to 45 miles an hour, while the other took a slow gait. Some of the ma chines which started went less than half a mile with the liquid allowed them while others got around the course two or three times. Another Portland built machine made its debut yesterday. It is a one-cylln der, seven horse power machine, built by Poller & Walby. The time on its in itial exhibition was good, as it made a trip around in about 1:08. The next meet will be held Labor Day, when an attempt will be made to lower the 50-mlle record and the mile dirt track record. Summary.

KENTOX SCORES BELOW PAR Portland Trapshooters Fail to Es tablish Any Records. The scores of the Portland Gun Club's weekly shoot, at Kenton, yesterday af ternoon, were below par, Lee Barkley, the Seattle crack, and Caldwell being tied for high gun, with 81.

AUTO CAUSES CHANGES MEN" IN LIVERY FAIL TO OB SERVE FORMER RESPECT. Chauffeurs and Footmen Smoke in Near Presence of Royalty In Unabashed Manner. LONDON. July 27 (Special.) The question of social status in Britain is by no means confined to the gradations of rank In the circles of nobility. The Lord Chamberlain la not the only man who is up against the difficulties due to pride of place. Owners of automobiles nave naa to solve as many delicate questions as any court official; difficulties due to the employment of a different stamp of man who drives the horseless vehicle. The family coachman always has been a model of deference and propriety, but the chauffeur from the very iirst in sisted on his position as a mechanic and not aa a servant. Most owners have conceded this claim by allowing their chauffeurs to live out, but in do ing so never stopped to think how this recognition of independence would re act upon the morale of their men serv ants. The scene in the ambassadors' court of St. James' Palace on the occasion of the last royal levee showed visible signs of the havoc played amongst tne man ners of the footmen by the independent example of the chauffeurs. It is In the ambassadors' court that the carriages of privileged persons wait, and there were seen chauffeurs and footmen smoking and lolling about ' at their ease as they do In the mews or the garage after their day's work. And within 60 yards or so of them tha King of Great Britain was receiving notable representatives of all the most powerful nations on earth, not to speak of his own distinguished subjects. The scene to the overseas observer unacquainted with the niceties of royal etiquette would not betray any notable points, but to Britishers who remember the ambassadors' court in pre-automo-bile times, the scene presented an as tonishing change. In those days a servant in livery was on duty 1" e a soldier under arms, and if he indulged in a cigarette, it was by stealth. But today even the most rigid sticklers for etiquette are powerless, though easy going people admit they have nothing to grumble at so long as the servants be have themselves respectfully in their presence. As a strike of footmen or chauffeurs would cause Infinite incon venience, it is not likely that their new ideas of personal liberty will be inter fered with. NIGERIA GETS RAILWAY FRENCH GOVERNMENT BUILDS IN AFRICAN COLONY. Loan of $30,000,000 Authorized Floated to Complete System In Western Part. PARIS, July 27. (Special.) The French authorities are showing great activity in pushing the construction of colonial railways, and the latest proj ect to which they have devoted their attention Is the West African Railway scheme, providing for rail transporta tion from Dakar to Porto, in Nigeria, with branch lines to Blngervllle and Conakri and several points in the in terior. At a meeting of the colonial commis sion it was decided to float a loan for $30,000,000 to bo guaranteed by the customs receipts of the colony. The meeting was presided over by M. Ponty, French Governor-General, who said that the existing lines in the colony had all proved profitable undertakings, and helped enormously in the general development of the country. There will be practically two lines across the whole territory north of Sierra Leone, Liberia, and the Gold Coast. Four of the lines, starting from, Dakar, Conakri, Blngervllle and Porto are already in operation, as well as a splendid railway line from DjambouE to Bamako and Bougouml, over a dis tance of some 500 miles, connecting tne valley of the Upper Niger with Dakar. There is only one small break of less than 100 miles, which could be rapidly built The Governor-General states that in the construction of the railways the native labor Is quite sufficient, the negro laborers muking good masons and ironworkers, and being quite aa capable of constructing bridges and viaducts as European laborers. The engine drivers and stokers are also natives, and they do their work as well and as carefully as white men. About $8,000,000 of the loan Is to be spent on the railway, and $3,000,000 on port works and Dakar, Conakri and other points. In a few years, when the network of railways Is completed, it will be easy to travel all over tha French Soudan for a distance of mora than 1000 miles. WINE BATHS COMMENDED Paris Wlnemakers Assert Product Can Also Be Used Externally. PARIS, July 27-(Speclal.) It la not often that the official Bulletin des Halles contains any startling items of intelligence, but the last number re produces a circular, which Is being sent to old customers by numerous wine makers, which reminds one of the his torical death of the Duke of 'Clarence, who drowned himself in a butt of his favorite Malmsey. The following is a literal translation of this original trade circular: "Batjis of superior and Malvoisle wine are the most fortifying and health-erivinsr. A hectolitre (100- quart) cask Is sufficient for 100 baths. The whole contents Of tne Darret are emptied Into the bath each time, and after remaining In It 20 minutes the wine is poured back. After the 100th bath the Malvoisle Is aistiuea, ana de licious 'eau de vie is obtained." Baths of milk and champagne are not unheard of In Paris, and a bath of red Malvoisle wine would be taken as a fable, if it were not advertised seri ously in bo respectable and business like a paper as the market Bulletin.

White Motor Trucks are a striking example of th survival of the fittest. Just as Motor Trucks have proved to be the most satisfactory method of commercial trans portation in practically every line of service, so White Trucks are proving the most efficient, economical and re liable among Motor Trucks. White Trucks have set a high efficiency standard that makes them pre-eminent in the Motor Truck world, and have shown Motor Truck users what they should obtain In economy, durability and low cost of maintenance, that makes It impossible, to satisfy them with any other means of delivery or transportation.
