In one of the fastest games that has been Been on the local diamond this season, in which the teams fought to the bitter end and in which the slab artists pitched magnificent ball, Venice won today from Portland, 1 to X. A single by Patterson and a beautiful slide by Lltschl In the third limine did the trick. Portland put up a stiff fight and did everything possible to win the game, but Roy Hitt's wonderful pitch Ins proved the undoing of the north ern warriors, who were only allowed three hits, two in the third and one in the fourth. Big Bill James also pitched excel lent ball, keeping the Venetians' five hits well scattered, and excepting In the soventh frame, when luck broke against the Beavers, was as invincible as Hitt. Until after the fifth frame. Fisher was the first man to reach third and it was in that inning that McCormick was the first man to walk. In the same inning also Fisher caught one of James hottest ones, which caused him to swallow hard In an effort to learn if the core was left. Portland Lose Chance. The Venetians' lone run in the sev enth came after two men were out. O'Rourke aviated to Lober and Hosp failed to connect. James then allowed LitBChl to walk and he immediately stole second and scored on Patterson's single to the right garden. Portland's best bet came in the third frame, when Fisher singled to center and took third on James' infield single. Chadbourne, however, popped to O'Rourke and James was caught steal ing second.

THIELMAN EX-BIG LEAGUER Twlrler Came West, He Says, for Vacation and He Was Xot Able to Resist Lure of Diamond, and Signed With Beavers. Just why Harry Todd, whose right name is Henry Thlelman, and who has been practicing dentistry successfully for the past six years, is playing ball with the Portland Colts under an as sumed name, has been worrying Port land fans not a little. Todd signed up with the Beavers in June and was with the Portland Coast club until three weeks ago, when he was transferred to the Colts. While with the Fillies he has pitched three games and won them. His explana tion of his doings follow: "When I left my office in the East for a trip to the Pacific Coast I had no idea of playing baseball. I had been out of the game six years and believed that I was through with it- "I had never seen the Pacific Coast and came West with but a vacation as my object. I don't know what it was, but I got the idea after I got out here that I would like to play ball again, and accordingly applied to Walter Mc Credie. I was put on and here' I am. I thought it better to play under a dif ferent name because some of my clients may not like the idea of having their teeth fixed, when I get back, by a baseball player." Thlelman played his first profes sional ball with Cincinnati of the Na tional League. When he forsook the diamond he was in the Jersey City lineup of the Eastern League.

At Victoria Victoria 12, Seattle 6. At Tacoma Vancouver 7, Tacoma 4. BY ROSCOE FAWCET-T. Pitcher Matt Hynes, of Portland, wobbled the eighth inning; yesterday, after a. beautiful 1-0 twirlino- duel with the Spokane spitballer. Phil Douglass, and before the parachute came down, the -dial showed S-0 in favor of the visi tors. Four runs were chalked up by the voracious Indians in the eishth, Hynes forcing in two after hits by Fitzsim mons, Altman and Douglass. Yohe's single counted the other duet. Mar tinoni relieved Hynes in the ninth and three additional runs resulted when Chris Mahoney dropped a fly ball in left field after a day of brilliant pas timing. Douglan. Deservea to W in. Douglass pitched airtight ball, crimp ing the Colts to six scattered hits. He deserved to win almost any game. The former Seal fanned nine Colts, whiffing all three men in the eighth frame. It was Portland's turn to call for dis infectants and crutches yesterday. Mike Lynch breezed into Bobby Col trin at third base with the docility of a muzzled mastiff cornering the fam ily tomcat. Bobby tagged Lynch out at third on a throw from Melchoir, but the impact knocked the wind out of him and sent him to the clubhouse for, the afternoon. He will be back in position today. Bancroft Is Actor. Bancroft starred in the field with a wonderful circus catch, in the seventh inning, robbing McCarl of a clean smash over short. Dave also stole home in the sixth with the score 1-0. but Umpire Casey called a third strike on Guigni, retiring the side, and the run did not count. Spokane scored - it - initial tally in the first inning on a double by W'uffli and a single by Powell. Altman and Fitzsimmons featured. for Spokane with two hHs apiece. The series stands four games for Portland and two for Spokane, with the final setto scheduled for 2:30 this afternoon. McCorry will make his de but for Spokane and Mays appears due for the locals.
