PUNISHMENT IS ASKED BY W. J. PETBAIN. ' Long Bobby Groom made his first ap pearance on the mound yesterday after an absence of two weeks, and the man ner in which he pitched circles around the visiting bunch was exceedingly pleas ing to the big Saturday crowd, for Port land jwon the game bv a score of 4 to 1. All of the runs scored were more or less in the nature of a gift, for Madden and Groom presented Oakland with the one chalked to her credit and Happy Hogan assisted all of Portland's runs across the plate. Naturally it mattered little to the home crowd how far '.he Athenians heaved the ball, for every wild throw meant runs for us, but when Bu:i Perlne celled a balk on the lanky one, which gave the visitors their only run, his umps was called all kinds of mean things by the fans. At that time Portland had one run to the good ana tne ace allowed Oakland on the balk. which was a palpable one,, tied up the score. All the unkind things directed at Bull were forgotten after the fourth in ning, for during that chapter the hofhe guard achieved three more runs, thanks to air. rlogan. Heaves Ball Over First. Vess Loucks started off quite well when Portland faced him In the opener. Casey and Hassey each skied out. but Raftery like Heltmuller in Oakland's half, secured an lnlleld poke, and gained safety with ease. Then came "Happy Bill's" first case of generosity. When Ote Johnson banged cne at his shins, Hogan heaved badly to first and all hands were safe, Jack Ryan found Loucks' offerings any thing but puzzling, and promptly banged a corking hit to right on which Raftery dented the rubber In front of Mr. Lewis. McCredle picked out Hogan for an easy mark, but this time William was on the job nicely and the managers's tap retired the side. As an opener of the second inning Hogan tried to redeem himself for his bad toss and succeeded In working Groom for the only ticket Bobby Issued during the matinee. Bill stole second, and, be cause Madden's throw hit him on the hand, continued to third, and Tom gets tlialked with an error. Bobby then set tied down nicely and wafted MUler and Altman. While Lewis was at bat, Groom got careless and forgot that balks are some times dangerous. He made his preliminary moves to pitch to Lewis and suddenly heaved to third, catching Hogan between the bags. After ducking back and forth between the Portland inflelders, Hogan finally secured third again in safety, whereupon he took occasion to claim a balk on Groom, which the umpire prompt ly allowed, and the run scored. Runs Come in Fourth. The third Inning was unproductive, but in the fourth the fans had their chance. McCredle led off with one of his celebrated infield bunts Just out of reach of the pitcher, catcher and third baseman, and was safe at first. Cooney proved a good waiter and was given transportation. Tom Madden dumped a sacrifice at Mr. Hogan. who contrib uted his second bad heave. This one was much more offensive to Mr. Loucks than the first, as it sailed far over "Truck" Eagan's head. Before "Dutch" Altman could field It McCre dle and Cooney had scored and Mad den was on third. Pearl Casey came through with a clever bunt on a hit and run signal, and Madden scored pasily while Casey went out at first. Bassey could not negotiate, but we had a total of four, which padlocked the game. Bobby Groom settled down to busi ness and pitched a magnificent game. Of the four hits secured by Oakland not one of them was batted out of the infield, and three were of the scratchiest variety. The only really legitimate hit secured was Heltmul ler'8 in the first inning. This clout was a liner, a trifle to tne left of sec ond, and was knocked down by Cooney after a hard try. Had luck been with Phil the ball would have stuck in his glove, and the little fellow would have been credited with a sensational play. A peculiar play happened in the sev enth. Ryan walked and was sacrificed to second by McCredle. who gets no credit for the effort In the official score, although he earned it. Mac's bunt was taken by Hogan, who tossed htm out at first, but Ryan started to go to third base, on seeing Hogan near the pitcher's box. He was caught be tween the bases and a double play re sulted. McCredle should have a sac rifice credited to him. for Ryan was sent to second as the manager had planned. Loucks pitched a good game, and while his offerings were hit free ly the errors of rlogan were responsi ble for the runs. Garrett and Xelson Today. Jesse Garrett will take a second fling at the Oakland crowd today, and the little fellow is determined to make it an even break for Portland on the series. He will be opposed by "Slim" Nelson, the elongated windmill who twirls for the Oakland club. The of ficial score of yesterday's game is' as follows: PORTLAND. AB. R. IB. PO. A. E.

By a victory of 7 to 2 over the New York team at the Polo grounds today, the Pittsburg team retained its lead in the National League pennant race. The crowd swarmed all over the outfield and barely left room for the game to be played. Ground rules limiting hits to two bases were adopted. The seventh Inning was disastrous for the New York team. Matthewson al lowed several safe hits which, with Doyle's errors, gave Pittsburg five runs and the game. Wagner carried off the batting honors. Five times at bat. he made five hits, two of them being good for two bases. The crowds were beyond control of the special police. Time after time the "fans." overjoyed at , some play, rushed upon the field and held frantic carnival. An ambulance was kept on the ground to remove those who were overcome In the crush and excitement. Several per sons fainted, struggling In the mass, and the ambulance made many trips. Llefleld was very effective, holding the New York team to seven hits. Rain fell during the last five innings and hundreds who had brought umbrellas were unable to use them, owing to the crowd.

OAKLAND MANAGER AND CAPTAIN IS A REAL VETERAN OF THE DIAMOND George Van Haltren Served Twelve Years in Major League, and as Many in Minor Associations. Cash regiifters are used la a ctaurca la atassacbusetia. . . . . BT W. J. PETRAIN. Sporting critics of Eastern cities are indulging in lengthy ink-slinging con tests in an effort to see who can sing highest the praises of -Honus Wagner,, the mighty swatsman of the Pittsburg team, and Cy Young, the veteran pitch er of the Boston Americans. Out here on the Pacific Coast we have a ball player whose record for 12 years in the major leagues, and almost as many in the brush and minor leagues, en titles him to similar commendation. This player is George Van Haltren, the veteran manager and captain of the Oakland Pacific Coast League team. Van is a ball player in every sense of the term, for there are few tricks of the trade the veteran does not know, and his all-around , ability makes his club a formidable antagonist at all times. . Commencing baseball playing when a mere youth on the sandlots of San Francisco, Sacramento and other Cali fornia towns. Van Haltren worked himself into the fastest league of the country the old National League. The. veteran pilot of the destinies of the Oakland club commenced his baseball career as a left-handed pitcher, and as such made his debut In the National League. While playing ball In the old Cali fornia State League, which at first con sisted of teams which, while repre senting different cities, also repre sented business houses situated in these places. Van attracted the notice of the major leagues. It was .about the time of the Brotherhood League that the Callfornian went East, and he performed so well and was such a clever batsman that he was played regularly, pitching one day and play ing the outfield the next. In this man ner Van become so proficient as an outfielder that he was worked regu larly in the field. His batting was his greatest asset, while in base run ning he ranked among the greatest ball players of that period. During all the time he was with New York he was rated as one of the league's leading batsmen, and his re tirement from the major leagues was brought about by an unfortunate ac cident which occurred in 1903. During the early portion of that year Van sustained a broken ankle while slid ing to a base, and this kept him out of the game for the balance of that season. Incidentally It ended his ma jor league career, for, while New York retained him for the remainder of the season, he was turned adrift at the end of the season. The following year Parke Wilson took the veteran to Se attle, where he distinguished himself by his batting and base running. It was while Van Haltren was a mem ber or the Seattle club that it made its phenomenal run of victories, and much of this glory can be attributed to the batting and base running of the veteran.

Seattle he was traded to the Oakland club, and has been manager andv cap tain of that club ever since. While the Athenians are occupying the cel lar at present this has been due to unfortunate circumstances. The Oak land club started the season in fairly strong shape, but some of the players who opened like championship caliber proved gold bricks in the end, and to cap the climax several or van s best pitchers went back and this resulted in a long string of defeats, principally at the hands of the Los Angeles club, and Oakland dropped rapidly Into the cellar after having occupied the lead for a short time. Van Haltren is the headiest ball player in the Pacific Coast League, and several games have been won simply because he Insists upon his nlng out every batted ball. how easy the chance may appear. an Oakland ball tosser get paths and he Is almost certain Ing worked around to third all because Van Haltren knows to play the game and nas taught h ' players, those who are capable learning, how it is done. men run- no matter Let on the i l of be- I base, an f hoi t NORTHWEST LEAGUE. Spokane 8; Butte 2. SPOKANE, Wash., July 25. (Spe cial.) Spokane savagely lambasted the curves of Samuels this afternoon and Hoon, who relieved the distressed pitcher of Butte, was also touched up. The locals were desperate. They squeezed one run across In the first and second Innings and In the third made a clean-up. Samuels had three men on bases and Clynes up In the third. Clynes used his heavy bat to drive the ball clear to the fence, reach ing third on the hit and scoring three runners ahead of him. James also con nected and Clynes scored. The Jocals were pulling off fielding stunts when they were on the defensive, and, with the exception of the run in the fourth, which was a gift, it required clean hit ting to advance a Butte runner. In the fourth Swain and Stls walked, Bender was hit by the pitcher and Swain scored on an infield play. In the eighth two hits and two infield outs scored Cartwrlght. Score: R. H. E. B, R. E.

Heimrlch was found for three hits In the first, fifth and eighth, and In each inning two runs were scored. The game was character ised by some sensational fielding stunts.
