Los Angelea, '2w " t This was the' way the skirmish on the Vaughn-street playground wound, up, but several times during the mill ing victory and defeat .were in a deadly strangle-hold. Klnsella and Koestner were the operators and- our elongated bridegroom came out of the fray slightly clawed and tung for two runs," but smiling and happy. Koestner wag belted around the veldt -until four of McCredle's hired men , had crossed the scoring pan. AM right here lefs say something about hippodroming baseball. The next time that George S. Shepherd gets a cir cusy idea, let's put it oh cold storage. Had yesterday's game been just an ex hibition affair. . it would have been fine and dandy, and a good drawing card for Bob Fltzsimmons to play at umpiring, but in a real game, with the teams in the race so close together, it' was silly and dangerous. The lanky Australian does not pretend to be a proficient "Ump" and some of his decisions on thu bases were sadly off, but both teams suffered. If Secretary Shepherd wants to be in. -base-balk, with, a sideshow attachment, we'll see if we can't get- him ground space on the East ' Side. - Anyway, we shall see that ' he gets a long way from the Vaughn-street grounds. ' The best plan is to let Manager McCredie run things. Lose Lead In Third. Portland took the lead in the second, only to . lOse it in the third. Bassey forced McCredle,. who had walked, and by a marvelous bit of sprinting, hiked from first home-on a long two-base hit by. Ote Johnson. - This run put the fans in h-'lgfi' fettle, but the joy oozed when In fthe third Los Angeles made two. Hogan singled, but Whalen's unerring wing morgued him at third as he was trying to take part ln a double steal with pakes. Klnsella made a wind jammer ' put of Koestner, but he lost the .irange on Oakes and the trouble wag brewed. Wheeler drove ' a neat single through second, scoring Oakes. who had: worked bis end of a double steal-in .which rlogan failed. Wheeler scored when Cooney fumbled Dillon's shin-toaster. '." - - f hese were he only two runs that visitors were able to put-over, al though 'they were - dangerous twice after. In the seventh a quick double playj from Klnsella to" Casey to John son,' ptihetured trouble; and in the eighth vthere " was a fretful moment. Cooney missed ' Oakes'' grounder and Wheeler skl'd to Raftery. Dillon put one safe to right and Oakes took third. With orte.: down, Ryan took care ' of Brnshear's difficult foul and then to put -the lid on good and tight, Klnsella ozonecr Jud Smith. The crowd .yelued with dejight when Klnsella turned this trick. ' . . - :i Victory Comes In Sixth. In spite of the weird base decisions, the game -was wrapped and delivered to us .in the sixth. Wheeler took care of Casey's pop fly.' Ryan rambled and Rafterjr, who had been peppering Jud Smith ail afternoon, hit another liner that Jud got Just close enough to knock down. Ryan went to second and Raftery died an McCredle's infield poke to Wheeler: McCredle - and Ryan worked into a double steal, Ryan coming-home and McCredle Jamming his spikes In second. Bassey smashed a screamer to left and McCredle regis tered. ; i ' Just to tighten things up, we made another in the seventh. Cooney sin gled and Whaleri sacrificed him to second..- Klnsella drew a pass. Casey skl'd to Delmaa and Ryan walked. Jud Smith was it again. Raftery aimed at the tooth carpenter's shlnbone and he made a bullseye. The ball caromed off the bone and while Delmas was doing the retrieving stunt, Cooney sailed home. This was all. Remember no more hippodromes. The score: LOS ANGELES. , ' - AB. R. IB. PO. A. E. Oakes.

Er ickson had the Aberdeen team shut out until the ninth, when two singles and a long fly tied the score. Brlnker was sent lruto hit for Brown in Aberdeen's half, to no effect.

No records were broken, but May of Illinois tied the Western record in th 100-yard dash, running in 9 4-5 sec onds. The real feature of the after noon was the desperate race In the two-mile run, Carr, of Michigan Agri cultural College, finishing with a sen sational sprint and defeating the sec ond and third men by inches only. Out side of this race, results were largely according to form, although the fail ure of the Stanford men in the dis tance runs and the field events was not expected, and had much to do with the team's inability to win first place.- Merrlman Star Performer. Merriman was the star Individual performer of, the day, gaining vic tories In both the events in which ha took part. Jacobs, of Chicago, took the pole vault with comparative ease.

WRITES A LETTER Wants to see the fur fly, but is apt to be disappointed "I see your old enemy is coming back to town. 1 and a number of friends take It that this will mean the resumption of the hostilities of the early days between your house and it. We. who witnessed the valiant fighting and your bold exposure of their meth ods nearly ten years ago. look forward with much interest to wiiat Is to come. You drove them out six years ago; we hope you will do it again. "Very sincerely, "YOUR SEVENTEENTH CUSTOMER." The above is an interesting letter. It calls to mind much of piano-selling his tory that has been forgotten by most of us. When Eilirs Piano House cume to Oregon nearlv ten years ago, piano sell ing was little snort of commercial trickery. Eilers Piano House boldly exposed the unsavory methods that then pre vailed. It plainly proved that houses then protnl lent in the trade were con oucted or. no other than a "get-all-you-can" principle. Instances were found where unsuspecting buyers had been gotten to pay 00. yes $50, for more or less obscure makes of pianos (cheap Inside, but showy, giiudy cases) which same styles were obtained by other and more careful or shrewder buyers for 1185, $180, yes, even 1175. The latter price was all such Instruments were worth. Eilers Piano House never sold them for more. Needless to say that the exposure of such methods quickly caused the de cline of the houses guilty ot such prac tices. Nearly a dozen firms have passed out of existence altogether since those days. But our old friend, who writes the above letter and who Is actually, as he signs himself, our seventeenth cus tomer WAen we started. Is apt to be dis appointed in his expectations, fortianu is developing rapidly; Its commercial life must grow with it. The piano trade cannot possibly be centered alto gether in one house. As stated In the early days, we are happy to state again that we have but one course to pursue In the conduct of our business, and that is the- furnishing of the very best of everything in pianos and organs at the lowest possible cost. In the conduct of a business along such lines, competition pursued on a fair and honorable basis cannot be otherwise than welcome to us and -to every member of the trade. If, on the other hand, the unsavory, not to say, unscrupulous methods, that prevailed In the trade before the coming of Eilers Piano House should again become prevalent, men we nun utrLimny it upon ourselves to expose them as openly as we did in the early days. Straightforward methods and fair dealing have established the piano' trade of Oregon upon the very highest commercial plane, and Eilers piano House-will ever be found in the fore most rank in an honest endeavor to uphold the reputation and standing of the music, trade at the highest possible point. j , 1 , ' : 1 a fiiiuu i i v u - ;
