SEATTLE-, Wash.. Sept 7. (Special.)
Stovall -wag In fine form today and held
Portland down to three hits, one of them,
by Harris, being decidedly scratchy. Of
the eight hits made off WItbeck, on the
other hand, four of them were for extra
bases, and It was due to the fast fielding
behind him that Seattle did not run up a
larger score. Ono of the passes issued
by Stovall developed into a run, due to
the fast work of Van Buren on the bases.
He walked "Van Buren in the fourth and
on a hit and Tun play Babbitt could not
catch Van at second, but threw Anderson
out on first. Van Buren took a long
chance and made a dash for third, making
it by a long slide. He scored when "Weed
chopped the ball over Babbitt's head. Zelg
ler opened the game with a double, but
the next three hitters could not bring him
in, and they did not get men on bases
after that often enough to be dangerous.
Seattle took the lead in the first inning,
when Drennan reached first on Harris'
low throw. A sacrifice put him on second,
and Kelly's single scored him. Kelly reg
istered on Klopf's long triple. Klopf
opened, the sixth with another drive for
three bases, but was thrown out at the
plate by Anderson on Hurley's hit. Se
attle scored the third and last run when
Stovall opened with a double, was sacri
ficed to third and scorejl on Babbitt's sin
gle. Zeigler made the spectacular play of
the day, when he leaped high in the air
and pulled down Stovall's liner with his
left hand, doubling Campbell at second
base. It was a line drive clear to the
fence. Zeigler ran as far as the fence
would permit him, and then jumped,
bringing the ball down with him. Schwartz
is out of the game for the balance of the
season, and Dugdalo is keeping the wires
hot trying to get a second baseman out of
the leagues which close their seasons to
day. SEATTLE.

INLAND EMPIRE LEAGUE.
Walla Walla, Of Baker City, 4.
BAKER CITY, Or.. Sept 7. A question
able decision on the part of the umpire
today gave the game to Walla Walla.
Baker City played a good game but could
not beat the umpire and Walla Walla at
the samo time. A palpable trick on the
part of Walla Walla's center field and
negligence on the part of two Baker City
players were responsible for the loss of
one run to Baker City. Baker City had
men on first and second bases. Hupp
batted a ball to Walla Walla center field,
which that worthy dropped after he
noticed that the two Baker men did not
realize that it was a forced run. There
were two men Out and the umpire called
the other two out because they did not
run, although it was very apparent that
the fielder dropped the ball purposely.
The spectators generally were wrathy at
the umpire and only the coolness of some
of the Baker City team prevented a gen
eral mixup on the diamond.

YACHTING SEASON OVER
SOW MEMBERS TALK OF MOVING
THEIR, CLUBHOUSE.
New Site Suggested Is Near Captain
Bundy's Club Has 27 Boats
and 70 Members.
If the movement now in progress- among
some members of the Oregon Yacht Club
to move the clubhouse near the foot of
Ellsworth 3treet is successful, the east
end of the Madison-street bridge will
lose one of its chief attractions. The
suggested site Is near Captain Bundy's
bathhouse. The ecore or more bf shape
ly white boats quietly nodding on the
ripples of the blue water or tugging at
their moorings when tossed by the swells
of a passing steamer, are a familiar sight
to every traveler over that bridge. It
is, however, on the day of a club race that
the full beauty of the white-winged fair
ies of the Willamette can only be seen.
Every boat Is under sail, arid they man-

euver back and forth in front of the club
house, dodging one another like children
at play. .
Twenty-seven boats are now on The list
of the Oregon Yacht Club, and there are
over 70 adtlve members. None of the var
ious athletic and social organizations of
the city affords more pure enjoyment and
hc-althful benefit to Its members than the
Yacht .Club. From the stifling stores and
offices' to the cooling breezes that fan one's
cheek as the, yachtmen eail rapidly over
the rippling waters Is a contrast so strong
that once enjoyed it will soon be repeated.
Not only are the numerous races exciting
and Interesting both to those engaged and
to the spectators, but the cruises which
many boats have made on the two rivers
afford a quiet vacation and a most en
joyable outing. This Summer one of the
larger cruising yachte went as far away
from her home buoy as Ilwaco, and there
have been many voyages up the Columbia.
Theee cruising boats are fitted up with
a compact cabin, having bunks and cook
ing accommodations, and 'no matter how
disagreeable the weather, the enterpris
ing yachtsmen have a good time.
There has been a gradual but complete
develop'ment' from the old-fashioned sloops
with the excessive dead rise and "deep
keel, to the modern skimming dishes that
sail swiftly on the water, vonly a center
board piercing the water to any depth.
Gradually the keel has been cut away,
leaving in its place long overhangs and a
deep, heavy centerboard. Seen from
above, the shape and great beam of one
of these types gave It the name of
"pumpkin seed." These have now been
generally succeeded by-acow-shaped boats,
with a water-line abdut two-thirds of the
total length. These boats are entirely
without those beautiful curving lines that
endeared the old-time sloops and cutters
to the heart of every yachtsman, but
their steadiness, ease in sailing and com
parative cheapness have brought them in
to favor. These boats sail their best on
one edge, as the body Is nothing but a
broad box, presenting by Its sloping bow
but little resistance to the -water. If the
wind Is not sufficient to heel over the
boat to Its speediest slant the crew throw
their weight upon one side until the end
is accomplished'. "Live ballast," as super-,
flous men in the crew are called, play an
Important part In the racing of these
yachts. Freak boats of many kinds hav
been built, some proving fairly -successful
and a few total failures. The Lark
type is a good example of successful ex
perimentation. Scores of facsimiles of the
original Lark have been built with almost
uniform success.
A movement Is now on foot among the
members of the local club to Institute a
one design class, composing, if possible,
half a dozen yachta These will be exact
duplicates, including fittings, sail plan and
and every detail, and some exciting races
are expected if the boats are built Here-

nothing of the relative skilt of the skip
pers and this has been found to be the
most satisfactory manner to judge the
sailing qualities of the rival captains.
The three club meets during the Sum

pions in the various classes:

B class H. H. Haskell's Owyhee.
C class Marlltt & Wolffs Swallow.

1GKS OUT THE STARS
BEST OF SIX CLUBS ROLLED INTO
ONE TEAM.
Seattle Estimate, btit It Lets Port
land Men Into This Select Aggre
gation of Balltossers.
The sporting editor of the Seattle Times
has picked out an all-star teafn from the
players of the six clubs In the Pacific
Northwest League which he thinks would
be about the right thing. His say Is as
follows:
The Times has been asked to pick a team
from the Paclflc Northwest League that shall
represent In the mind of the writer the best
playing talent In the Northwest. Owing to
the fact that there are so many stars in this
league, such a task is rather a hard one. In
making the selections, however, we will en
deavor to eliminate as much as possible hose
have relied mainly on team work to win
their games, because It Is those kind of play
ers that constitute pennant-winners.
To begin with, there Is only one man for
the position of catcher. Mat .Stanley. He Is
so much In a class by himself that even a
beseball writer In Butte would not hesitate
in picking him. Sammy VIgneux would" be
second choice, and at that he is not as good
this year as last, due no doubt to the natu
ral worries that are attendant upon a mag
nate's berth.
First base lies between Hutchison of Ta
coma and Hurley of this city. Had the for
mer player been able to finish out the en
tire Beatjpn. he would. In our opinion, beat
BUI to It by a comfortable margin. But from
a 'Standpoint of continuous performance the
local has a shade the best of It Hurley cer
talnly has been playing wonderful ball of
Jate.
We might mention J. J. McCloskey for the
position of flrst, were we picking the poorest
team in the league.
It Is a toss-up between Schwartz of Seattle
and Anderson of Portland for the middle
cushion. Schwartz Is a better leader, and did
the captaincy necessarily go with the position
of second base, then he would have It over
Andy. As It Is, Anderson beats him to It
by a. nose.
Joe McCarthy, of Tacoma. has tbe short
stop berth by. a mile. Our own Babbitt Is
close up In the running, but he is not the
hitter McCarthy is. neither Is he as good
fielder. McCarthy for short by all odds.
Third lies between Donahue of Spokane
and Harris of Portland, wlrtr the odds fa
voring the former. Donahue Is apt to quit
when things break bad. but when he plays
ball he Is the favorite for the position.
For outfielders we put Weed of Portland
In right Van Buren of Portland In center.
and Dalrymple of Seattle In left. We choose
Campbell of this city for substitute.
As far as the pitching 'ability in this league
Is concerned. It could not bo better. For c
minor league, the box men are unusually fast.
Wlggs of Helena would be a "beauty boy."
as Tim Keefe would say. were he not prone
to wildness. As It is, we pick Stovall of Se
attle, Engle of Portland, and Dowllng of
Butte, and with these three men we wouldnt
be afraid of any.
'Hence, to sum up. In our opinion the crack
team of the league would be:
Stanley, catcher; Stovall. Engle and Dow
llng. pitchers; Donahue, third; Anderson, sec
ond; McCarthy, short; Hurley, flrst: Weed,
right; Van Buren, center; Dalrymple, left
Campbell, substitute.
O'HAGEN NOT THE ONLY ONE.
Jlggs Parrott Made a Single-Handed
Triple Play in San Francisco.
The Anaconda Standard of August 31
goes to some lengtn to describe a single
handed triple play made by Hajry O'Ha-
gen, manager or tne Kocnester club
Among other things the Standard says:
A triple play Is a rarity, even when half
the team may assist, but never before since
baseball graduated from the old game, of
rounders has . a triple play, unassisted, been
recorded.
A friend oZ The Oregonlan who resides In
Montana has sent a copy of the Standard
with the story, and the following letter
I send you under separate cover a copy of
the Anaconda Standard of August 31, 1002, In
which I find an article on a "single-handed
triple play" made in baseball by Harry
O'Hagcn. manager of the Rochester team. As
to Its being the only one on record, I would
like to have that contradicted, as I am al
most positive and so Is Lucas, whom I met
In Butte that our Jlggs Parrott made a triple
play, unassisted, whllo playing third base for
the Portland team, I think, then under the
management of Glenalvln. in either 1800 or
1881. Kindly look up the records or ask Young,
Marshall, Bear, Charlton or any of the old
fans who attended the games of the first pro
fessional leaguo games in the Northwest.
Upon Investigation it has been ascer
tained that Jlggs did actually make one of
these well-nigh Impossible plays In San
Francisco In the early 'SOs. Thurston John
son, who has been Interested In the Na
tlonal game on the Paclflc Coast for many
years, tells of the play as follows:
The Portland team was down at San Fran
clsco-ln the '00s and was playing for the Coast
championship with San Jose. Jlggs was cover
ing third in ono of .the games, when San Jose
had a man on second and a man on third. The
man on second was playing way off, as run
ners generally do, when the batsman knocked
what appeared to be a two-bagger right over
Jlggs. All runners made for the next bases,
when suddenly Jiggs got the ball with one
hand, putting the batter out and before the
man from second could turn ho was touched
out, for he was within three feet of Jlggs,
The man who had started for home was out,
too. when Jlggs touched third. It was a sure
caso of a single-handed triple play.
SEATTLE'S HARD-LUCK STORY.
The Senttie Papers Think That a Leaf
Will Be Turned in at the Finish.
The Seattle papers think that a leaf will
be turned In the "dope book" yet. and
that their team will land on the top at the
finish. They are of the opinion that the
team has been badly crippled up on Its re
cent trip, and therefore account for the
way in which it has shot the chutes down
the percentage list ft certainly is a cause
for tears to see a team that seemed to
have a mortgage on the pennant lose
enough of Its games to get an Insecure
hold even on the second place.
When. Jack Grim, from Spokane, took
Drlnkwater last week he also wanted
mortgage on Murdock, who had Just
been signed by Sammy as a member of
the Webfoot organization. The Tacoma
gang thought they had a cinch on Mr.
Murdock, but they weren't on to the facts
of the case. Witness the following from
the Ledger:
Jack Grim, the manager of the Spokane
team, today forwarded transportation to
Drlnkwater, the former Tacoma pitcher, who
will pitch the balance of .the season with -the
Bunchgrasscrs. Grlra's pitching force now
includes Pfelster, Quick, Drlnkwater and
Titus.
Grim first entered Into communication with
Drlnkwater when tbe" latter was In Vancou
ver last week. The Spokane man also wants
Murdock, Tacoma's left fielder, but It Is safe
to say that ho won't get him. In a telegram
Monday Grim stated that- Andrews had said
that ho (Grim) could have Murdock If he
wanted him. Murdock at one time asked for
his release, which was refused, but now he
seems willing to remain with the Tigers.
President Baker has refused to release him
now, as ho believed Murdock Is a good play
er. and1 Is now Just on a slump in batting.
He Is still on the payroll, and will be re
tained for next season.
The Seattle Post-intelligencer has the
following to say about Murdock, who was
signed Saturday by Sammy VIgneux:
Manager VIgneux yesterday signed
Murdock, the young outfielder, who did
such sensational work here while a mem
ber of the Tacoma team. Murdock was
put on the bench at Tacoma because his
hitting fell off. He did not like doing a
thinking part, so asked for his release.
Since Rockenfleld joined the Tacoma
team he has been hitting the ball hard
enough to open the seams, so he Is kept
in every game, and Murdock was laid
off. Manager VIgneux signed Murdock
because he does not want to be caught
J short handed now that the bruising part
of the race has been reached. In case
of an accident to an inflelder Zlegler will
be brought In and Murdock will cover
right field. As a fielder Murdock Is the
equal of any man In the league, and now
that he is with a fast bunch his hitting
may Improve.
Judging from tbe remarks of the- San
Francisco Bulletin, Umpire Jack O'Connell.
formerly of the Paclflc Northwest League,
has not struck a sinecure in the Califor
nia League. The Bulletin says:
"You bet Jack O'Connell Is anxious to get
back here," remarked Mike Fisher yesterday.
'and I would be if I were In his place. It Is
worth a man's life to umpire a game at Los
Angeles, and .he Is not safe unless he gives
the home, team every close decision. We did
not get one decision that was the least blt
close in the six .games, and there were plenty
of them. O'Connell was afraid of his life.
He could not tell what minute Jim Morley
would set a mob of fans on him, and he took
no changes. Upon the slightest provocation the
entire L03 Angeles team rushed upon O con
nell and surrounded him. Outfielders who had
no chance to see the play ran in to tell him
that he was wrong. The Idea of an outfielder
being able to see whether a ball cut the plate
or not! When the players are not telling the
umpire how rotten ho Is. Morley Is making up
for lost time in the press box. Morley points
out to the- reporters where O'Connell does
wrong, and he expects them to roast Jack.
If they don't he Is sore. Instead of support
ing the umpires, as all managers should, Mor
ley takes the opposite course and spares no
pains to make their work as burdensome as
he can. When I was there I told O'Connell
that he was foolish to let Morley lntlmldato.
him. He should feel that he had President
Moran, Cal Ewing. Henry Harris and my
self behind him. and with this support ho
could give visiting teams at Los Angeles an
even break without running the risk of losing
his Job. Morley Is not running the league.
though he thinks ho Is when he Is playing at
home."
