There were all kinds of excitement
in the scrappy ten-innlngr matinee an
nexed by the local team at the Vaughn
street grounds yesterday. At the com
mencement of Portlands half of the
ninth chapter. Oakland had a lead of
one tally, which handicap was sus
tained by McCredle's men throuffh
three bundles at third on the part of
Charlie Moore, which allowed of Van
Haltren's crew making four runs and
topping: the supposedly safe lead ac
quired by the home guard in the sixth
and seventh.
The Columbia Vnlversity lad re
deemed himself in the cleverest man
ner when the first extra session re
quired Portlands presence at bat, for
Moore waited and worried Oscar Gra
ham long enough to induce the south
paw to place a nice one in the groove,
which was promptly laced by Markley
for a two-ply wallop that registered
the manager for the run that broke up
the matinee, and sent the 2000 happy
fans home extolling the merits of the
Portland lad. who had previously seri
ously offended them by almost losing
the game.
Garvin Is I'nfortunate.
Virgil Garvin began the proceedings
for Portland, and the lanky twirler
was In excellent form, but was unfor
tunate during certain periods of the
maneuvers, when a flukey hit or a
bunch of errors would send the nimble
base-runners of the opposing team ca
reoring around the sacks. After
Moore's several bad breaks', in the
eighth. CalifT was sent in to bat for
Marse Garve in Portland's half, and the
Oregon City lad was called upon to fire
'em over for the balance of the mat
inee. A couple of dinky infield hits, fol
lowed by Smith's Texas leaguer to left,
gave Oakland the first run In the third.
Jimmy McHale and Bill Sweeney found
Graham for triples in Portland's half,
and the score was tied.
Hits by IJster and McLean scored
another for Portland In the fourth, and
Oakland tied It up In the fifth on
Markley's hit and a double by Kruger.
Timely hitting by the locals resulted
in the scoring of two In the sixth and
one in the seventh. Oakland came to
the front In the eighth, when with the
first two men easily disposed of, Moore
muffed a foul from Devereaux's bat
and the Red Dog walked a moment
later. Following this came a couple of
more bungles by the young third-sack-er.
and one by Lister, and wltk the
bases populated and one run In, Oscar
Graham found Garvin for a double that
cleaned the slate, and Oakland had a
lead of one run.
Sweeney hit safe in Portland's half
of the ninth, and scored on Franck's
error of Lister's Infield poke, which
resulted In a storm of cheering on the
part of the home crowd.
CalifT disposed of Oakland in the
tenth, and It was up to the locals to
prevent late suppers. Walter Mc
Credie cracked out a double and after
McLean's long fly had been grabbed
by Smith, Charlie Moore .was called
upon to redeem himself, and respond-:
cd nobly, for with two strikes on him
he met one fairly and the ball shot by
Markley, ticketed for the right garden
fence, and McCredie was over the pan
for the run that ended the session.
The game .was full of features, espe
cially in the batting line, for two
triples and seven doubles were chalked
up to the players of the opposing teams
during the game.
This afternoon's game will be called
at 2:30 o'clock, and Ben Henderson will
make his Initial bow to the Portland
fans. Opposed to the undefeated Port
land twirler will be Bill Reldy, -who
will fling 'em for Van Haltren's crew.

ITS FUTURE ASSURED
Pacific Coast Baseball League
Will Continue.
SOME GOSSIP OF THE FANS
Charlie Moore, Who Is Holding
Down Third Base for Beavers,
Is Considered One of the
Promising Players.
Now that the future of the Pacific
Coast League is practically assured,
the fans can settle down to comparing
the respective merits of the different
players, and speculate on the chances
of Portland winning the pennant, or
at laast finishing in the first division.
The games so far played in this city
bave demonstrated that McCredie has
a good hitting team and a splendid
pitching staff, which will prove of
material asaistance in landing a place
In the league race.
.
The player who Is at present attract
ing a large portion of the attention
of the fans Is Charlie Moore, the Co
lumbia University lad, whe is holding
down third base for the local nine.
The youngster had never played a
professional game before joining -McCredie.
and as a matter of fact, had
seen but very few such games, his
previous experience having been ac
quired while a student at Columbia
University and by playing ball on the
vacant lots of this city.
He ba s quite a number of faults, but
where is the player of several years'
experience who has not some defect?
As for Moore's ability, it may be
summed up in a few words. He is the
most promising- young player that has
graduated from the local lots since the
days of the Parrott brothers, Jiggs and
Tom. The lad Is a good hitter and has
a strong throwing arm, and as soon as
he gets accustomed to his surround
ings he promises to be a second Joe
Tinker.
The best feature of Moore's standing
with his more experienced team-mates
is the manner in which they unite in
encouraging the lad. It matters not
how badly he may play or how easily
he may be caught oft the bases,-the
other Portland players pat him on the
back and tell him where he has made
a break and how to rectify the error
the next time.
With this sort of feeling toward the
youngster his future is certain, for It
is the associates of a young player
that have the making or marring of
the future of a promising member of
the profession.
Portland and Oakland will play an
other game tomorrow, which will close
the series .with Van Haltren and his
crew until a week from Tuesday, when
they will return for another series.
The coming week will witness the San
Francisco club as the opposing team
on the local diamond, and as the Seals
are the leaders in the race at present,
some Interesting games may be ex
pected. Parke Wilson, although hand
icapped by the loss of Catcher Street
and Outfielder Waldron. both of whom
deserted after the earthquake, has a
strong combination. He depends prin
cipally on his pitching staff, for in
Hitt, Henley. Williams. Shea and
Wheeler the Seal aggregation have five
formidable slab artists who are hard
men to beat.
Business Manager Hlggins. of the
Portland team, says that the Southern
Pacific Railway contributed more
toward alleviating the sufferings of the
stricken families of San Francisco than
any other corporation or community.
He tells a most interesting story of the
experiences of the Portland team dur
ing the earthquake, and the narrative
of these happenings record many ludi
crous incidents relative to the behavior
of most of the Portland players.
