Port land again showed superior work on the bases, taking advantage of Kostal's wlld ness and slowness, and won the game, 7 to 2. Portland played championship ball, with Wltbeck In the box. Wltbeck was Effective In all but two Innings. In one. poor base-running by the locals prevented Spokane from scoring. In the other, tho Elxth, Spokane drove In two earned runs by three singles, a sacrifice and two stolen bases by McLaughlin and Howells. Muller's work on the bases was fine. In one Inning he scored from third when Kostal allowed a ball returned from the catcher to roll behind Kim. Muller al lowed himself to be hit by the ball In the Urst, got two singles, and played all over the left fleld lot. Anderson hit the ball hard at critical times and was the main factor In the scoring. "Wltbeck kept the Spokane players hit ting the balls In tho air, where the infield was able to handle them. Kostal was also fairly effective, in that few balls got out elde of the diamond, Elsey getting 18 put outs at first. Before the game started there was a mix-up at the Spokane bench. "Words passed between Elsey and Umpire Cun ningham, and tho big first baseman made a rush at the little man. Mullane and other players prevented an assault. Tho trouble grew out of Cunningham's severe treatment of Elsey on the day previous. Portland rooters were at the game In abundance, with choruses and cowbells. It was Portland's game all tho way through, because "Wltbeck pitched better than Kostal and the team work of tho visitors was Intelligent. The score: SPOKANE. tt w A.B- 1B- P-Q- a. n Howells.

The members of the" local corporation back of the Baker City baseball club and the citizens gen erally are very much elated over tho splendid work of the reorganized club at Walla Walla. Baker City has strong hopes of win ning the pennant of the Inland Empire League before the season closes, j-he new men secured from the Ogden (Utah) club are depended on to pull Baker City out of the hole. There Is great anxiety felt over the coming contest between Pen dleton and Baker City. The Pendleton boys gave Baker City' three unmerciful thrashings when they played here at the opening of the Inland Empire League games a week ago. The Baker City club was fairly beaten. It was simply a case of being outclassed. The new men from Utah have placed the Baker City club on an equal footing with the Pendleton club. Tho Baker City fans are not vengeful at all, but they will enjoy Immensely a few stinging defeats administered to Pen dleton by their new organization. Such a thing as a defeat for Baker City Is not taken into consideration. Should, such an unfortunate calamity occur It will bo a eorry day for Baker City. XATIOXAL LEAGUE. Cincinnati, 0 St. Lonls, 2.

Holtgrrlcve's Snnset Captures Three- Quarters Dnsli In 11S" Myrtha Whips Paces Mile in 215 3-4. "With fine track conditions and with little urging, Holtgrleve's Sunset carried off the honors In the three-quarters of a mile dash on the Irvlngton track yesterday In a finish that was aa close as It was excit ing. Tho starters were Sunset, Helman's Veloz, Jones' Granger, and Osman's Be gonia. "With Simpson holding tho flag, the horses got oft at a fair start, and Gaffney pushed Granger ahead to the half. There he was overtaken by Sunset, with tho youngster Groves up, and Veloz. with Harmon as a mount, tied on the three quarters. On the stretch it was a fight for tho purse. Sunset had the end by a length, and Veloz and Granger struggled for second and third places, the former winning by a neck. The second prize, from the closeness of the race, proved of more Interest than the first event, and the announcement of the time of 1:18 In the stentorian tones of Captain N. G. Smith, the presiding judge, was greeted with ap plause. Fnnllne Wins Ilalf-Mlle Rnn. While It lacked the exciting features of the three-quarters dash, the half-mile run brought a crowd from the grandstand to the rail. The entries were McGUvcry's Kitty Norfolk, Whltmore's Hank L., Jones' Eva N. and Bennett's Pauline. Af ter several balks all went off In a bunch at the word, and Archibald forced Paulino JACK DE3IPSEY'S FA3IOUS CHA2IPIOXSHIP BELT THAT "WJLL BE SOLD AT RIXQSIDE OF THE BIG SAX FRAXCISCO to tho front. Groves was closo behind with Hank L.. and Dugan spared no dust to bring Eva N. to the front. But Pauline had too big a lead, and the horses crossed In one, two, three order; time, 0-51 Blyrtha Vhlps Paces In 2:15 3-4. The harness races gave cause for sur prise, for better time wag made than was expected. The entries ware Simp son's Alta Norte, Irwin's Starkey, and Helman's Myrtha Whips. In the first heat Myrtha Whips cleared 2:16?i. and In tho second 2:19. Myrtha has a record of 2:1L Starkey of 2:K, and Alta Norte 2:16. Starkey had a good chance to win the sec ond heat, but Irwin could not seo his way clear to force him through. Oneta "Wins Frec-for-All Trot. In tho free-for-all trot, the pole was given to Irwin's Oneta. Walter's Duko of Walsteln had second place; Simpson's Phil N. third, and Mack Mack, with Hel man up, was on the outside. It was con fidently expected that Phil N. would hit tho 2:18 mark, but he had to be held in check, and he crossed under the wire- the last of the siring. Oneta, a comparative stranger to racing men, had no trouble whatever In winning the race In 2:204, and Instead of Mack Mack In second pla'cc the horsemen found the Duke of Walsteln. The second heat also was won by Oneta, with Phil N. second and the Duko of Walsteln third. Summary of the Races.

PROSPECTS OX THE GRIDIROX. ainltnoxsah Club "Will Play Only One Game "With Oregon. Arrangements have been perfected for the annual Thanksgiving football game between the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club and the University of Oregon, which will occur as usual on Multnomah Held this year. Tho articles of agreement have been drawn up and signed by representa tives of the two teams, and the game Itself Tvill be the great drawing card in Northwest football circles for the season of 1902. It has been decided that only one game bo played between the two big teams, and that preliminary and practice games be dispensed with. Those Interested In the sport contend that when early practice games were played between Multnomah and Oregon In seasons past, that the re sults on the whole were not satisfactory, and that better sport would result from tho playing of but one game each year, and that a big one. Multnomah will have many of the old playera that made last season's eleven such a tower of strength, and tho club men expect to end the season with a clean record. Last year the Oregon team consisted mostly of novices, but this sea son's outlook Is more flattering, and the team will probably be as Btrong, If not stronger, than the crack Oregon eleven that defeated Berkeley two years ago. Of last season's team, only three Zlegler, Goodall and Gorrell were lost by gradu ation. Manager Wright expects to put out a first-class eleven, and Is negotiating with Coach "Locomotive" Smith for an other Ecason's work. Smith understands coaching, nnd his work with the Eugene team last year was remarkable, all cir cumstances being considered. Georgo McMillan, the old reliable, has charge of Multnomah's football affairs this year, and will devote considerable time to coaching and directing the play, as well as looking out for the manage ment. Most of last year's players are still In the city, and the personnel of tho team will probably remain the same. Manager James Zercher, of the Oregon Agricultural College eleven, has written to Multnomah relative to a game for the coming season. No definite arrangements have yet been made, but It is quite likely that Zercher's request will be granted. Fred D. Herbold, of Eugene,. who last sea son coached the University of Idaho, will occupy the same position at Corvallls. and the prospects for a strong team at the Agricultural College were never better. Manager Eshleman, of the University of Washington team, announces a game with M - MILLAN 4 Stanford University, to be played in Seat tle during the coming season. Mnltnomnli Clnb Low Jinks. The Multnomah Club will give a "low Jinks" next Sunday, the exact place not having been decided upon. A committee Is In charge of the affair, and a pleasmt outing Is In anticipation. There will be athletic sports of various kinds, music, refreshments, and a general good time for all. Tho club Is accustomed to giving an outing of this sort every year, and on previous occasions .the members have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. HITS OEF THE DIAMOND PORTLAND AXD HELEXA TIE FOR THIRD PLACE AT COO. Team Opens a Four Weelcs Series Here Tomorrow-Battc to Come First. Portland comes from Spokane with the percentage Just the same as It was when It came back from that city after Its first trip on the road, an even 500. This trip out has proved a little more successful than the last jaunt of the nine. A series cap tured at both Tacoma and Spokane Is a fair record for a team, on the road, but a greater margin would not have come In amiss. The pitching staff of the team his been rather weakened on this trip. The nine had to fight the whole time with but three box artists. Then at Spokane Salisbury was forced to apply for a leave of ab sence to coma to this city to look after his -Rife, who was taken seriously 111. Hawley, one of Butte's castiways, was taken in his place for one game, and that game Portland lost. Engel and Wltbeck both did good work, especially the latter, who is fast forcing himself to the front in this league and threatens to make the other twlrlers" hustle for their honors. With but one or two exceptions the scores show that the team pliyed magnifi cent ball on the trip and deserved to win all the games that they did. Every man has been In tho game from start to fin ish, and their opponents "had to play to get away with the four games that they did. Strange to relate, the words "timely hitting" were prominent in the accounts leave for San Francisco tonight, to witness tha blr Jcffrles-Fltxslmmons fight, and while In the Bay City will endeavor to dispose of the trophy at the ringside. As many of th leading sports of the country will be present, it is highly probable that Mr. Merrill will find a purchaser for tho belt. In that event, the proceeds will bo turned over to Jack Dempsey's children, and used to defray the expenses of their education. of a number of tho games played. That Is something that the Portland team has seldom been accused of this season, and it sounds well. Game after game has been lost by the Webfooters because they failed to get In the necessary hit Just when It was most needed. The boys will be at home to open up with Butte on Tuesday, and after a week with that team, Portland gets three more weeks of baseball one each with Helena, Tacoma and Spokane, In the order named. In all some 23 games will be played. If the two postponed games with Helena and the one with Tacoma are ployed off this time. Portland should capture at least 15 of these contests, and it Is hoped that the nine will get more, as they are sadly In need of them. The addition of another pitcher to the team will do much to strengthen the nine and increase its chances of winning. Charles Werner, the new man, bears a good reputation both as a pitcher and a hitter, and if he Is all that he Is cricked up to be he Is Just the man that Portland needs to fill the vacancy In tho staff. With the coming of Butte there Is one thing to be dreaded that is tho rowdyism and dirty work that has been displayed by McCloskey and his followers this season. Last year he was bad, but this year ho is worse. In Seattle he made himself so obnoxious that the town was Slad to get rid of him. In Tacoma he behaved a little better, but still his actions were not such that they could call for approval. The sooner Mr. John J. McCloskey finds out that ho and his bunch of balltossers can not attempt to bulldoze the umpire and display the rowdy tactics that he has been using and still draw crowds out to see his team play, the better. Portland fans want to see good, clean baseball, and they mean to get It. If they cannot hive that, they do not want any. The majority would rather stay away than pay their money to see a gang of nine fellows com mence "beefing" with the umpire. The kick at Umpire Cunningham at Spokane Is a matter of surprise. When Cunningham was here he made a decided hit. No kick was heard of his work here, and the playersTand fans both seemed to bo well satisfied with him. Of course the Spokane people should know more about what the umpiring was last week, but one thing Is certain, that the fans here believe the stories about, him being "rotten are worne than they are painted. "Tho person who says Jock Flannery has a lot of lobsters playing ball with him now Is badly off," remarked a local base ball crank yesterday. "I would Just as soon take Flannery"3 chances of winning the pennant as any one else's. He may not do it. but he has the men behind him that are winners. All his players are cracks, and that follow Wlggs io doing wonders In the box. I saw them, and I know. You Just keep your eye on Helena and you will fee something doing before long." All that is perfectly true. Flan nery has certainly picked up a wonderful team. When he waa here last time he had practically no players. To be sure, he had Wlggs, but the big boy had not settled down to work then. If Flannery had not had hard luck at the opening of the season he might have been better oft now than he Is. He had a great team signed, but at the last moment eight of the boys Jumped to the American Association and left him In the hole. He had to pick up anything he could and strengthen as he went along. He did, and now he is as near the top of the list as Portland. The first half of the league season ended yesterday, although none of the clubs had played half of the games. Seattle has had the best luck, being only one game behind the schedule. Butte, Spokane and Tacoma are all three games short, while Helena and Portland each have four games to make up. The race for the pennant Is one of the prettiest In the country. Less than 200 points separate Seattle at the top and Tacoma at the bottom, and It la yet any body's race. Seattle has a slight lead that may be knocked clear oft In a single series. Butte Is next, less than 50 points behind. Portland and Helena are even up for third place, with .500 as the percent age. Spokane drops, almost 50 behind In fifth place, and a Jump of another half hundred brings In Tacoma. Both of these teams, while a little too far down to be comfortable, are still In the race, and are likely to pull up at any time. The loss or Hurlburt from the Seattle outfield may In a way account for some of the defeats of that team during the past week. Hurlburt Is a good outfielder, and a heavy hitter. In fact, he would make a strong addition to any team. But he was suspended for Insubordination, which was perfectly proper. Then when his suspen- slon was raised he refused to play unless his salary was raised, which was wrong. Hurlburt signed a contract to play for a certain sum, and if he had any honor he would stick to his contract. He offered to buy his release from Manager Dugdale for $100, but the offer was turned down. Where Hurlburt got the money Is a mys tery. Many of the Seattle fans think that McCloskey is after him for the .Butte team and would furnish the money. Maybe one of the Independent teams wanted him, but it Is not likely that they would put up that amount just to keep him clear from tho clubs under the National agreement. Manager Dugdale has signed George Drennan, of Colorado Springs, to All the place of Hurlburt. Drenna is expected to Join the team In Spokane in time to take part In the game there tomorrow. He has the reputation of being a fast fielder and a good sticker. - President Lucas has left Portland for Spokane, where he will make his residence in the future. Mr. Lucas says that oity Is more centrally located for his needs, and that Is, why he moved. A number of local people share a different view, and think that it is because he could not agree with the Portland club. There may be some truth In that.
