Tuesday, "Wednesday,- Thursday, Sat urday and Sunday Spokane at Port land, Helena at Seattle -and Butte at Tacoma. Portland fans had all the ball they Tvanted yesterday afternoon, when the Webfoots and the Tacoma Tigers played two games at the park, Portland winning the first by a score of 2 to 1, and the second re sulting in a tie that had to be called in the 10th on account of darkness, the score standing 2 each. Engle and "Wit beck pitched for the locals, and Harmon and McCarthy were on the slab for the players from Puget Sound. Both games were of the best kind of ball, though they lacked ginger, and were a trifle un interesting at times. Hits were liberal, Tjoth pitchers giving, eight apiece In the first game, and Wltbeck 10 and McCarthy eight in the second. Muller was the bright particular star In the hitting" line, mak ing a three-bagger, two doubles and two singles in the two games. McCarthy was a close second, with a triple and a double, and Zalusky and Rockenfield also secured triples during the second game. The First Game. The first game lasted for an hour and three-quarters, and it was a question till the last ball was pitched who would win. Portland drew a hairline finish, however, Tvhen Murdock hit and let Sammy in for the winning run. For three short Innings nobody got passed first, and it looked as though more ,than the regulation nine innings would be necessary for the decision to be secured. But in the fourth, after Nagel and Rock enfield were both out, Hutchinson scored In this manner. "Hutch" was at the bat, and knocked a little foul that hit Mr. Umpire McCarthy on the chest-protector "while that gentleman was trying to keep his eagle eyes on one of George Engle's fine curves. Not being up -in the art of keeping out of harm's way. when behind the bat. he consulted with Sammy, with the result that he was told to blow up the protector. This was done, and then the play proceeded. Along came another ball, and McCarthy got it again right on the funnybone in his elbow Joint. He danced around, then went at it again, but Engle had pitched a couple that were a little wild, and when he sent two .more along of the same variety Hutchinson went to first on the cars. Andrews, the Jovial manager of the Tigers, hit a liner and sent "Hutch" on to third. ' A mo ment later Andrews tried to steal second. Sam tried to catch him, and threw to Engle, who in turn threw to Delsel, but Jake couldn't get his mits on the leather, and it rolled out to Van Buren, while Hutchinson waltzed to the home plate. Score, 1 to 0. In the last of the sixth, Portland made the run that tied the score. Engle struck out, and Maxle Muller stepped in. After some little deliberation he took a long swat, and far to the right field he smashed the ball. He ran like a streak, and landed on third for a neat three bagger, and the little boys on the fence and bleachers howled and howled while he was doing the sprinting. Van Buren took his base on balls, and "Weed went to first the same way, Van going on to sec ond. "With the bases full, Andy Ander son came up, and with great judgment got in the way of the first easy ball, and started for first. Mr. Harmon got hot and butted in for all that his voice was worth. Captain Hutchinson also took a hand, and, amid the smiles of the assembled throng! Andy was ordered to return and take an other try. He demurred at the treatment, and Sammy sustained him. but all to no purpose, and Andy stayed on home for a few moments longer. Harmon started to pitch again, -and the third ball took Andy in the arm, and no mistake. This time he went to first, and Harmon's and Hutchinson's kicking availed them noth ing. Muller was forced in. and the crowd yelled "It's a shame to take the money" and "It's a measly shame." Rounds 7 and S were without event, and also the first of the ninth, though Tacoma tried her best to score. In the last of the ninth Stovall flew out on a foul to Zalusky, but Sammy hit forfirst, and went to second on a passed ball a second later. Amid a great lot of clap ping and yelling, Murdock went in and knocked a pretty hit between short and third, that let Sammy score the winning run of the first game. The score: PORTLAND. . ,,,. AB.

SECOND GAMEvA TIE. Time Is Called for Darkness "With Score 2-2. The second game was close from ' first to last, and at the end of the tenth it be came so hard to see the ball that the game was called, with score 2 to 2. Port land scored In the first and in the sixth, and Tacoma made both her runs in tho third. Both of the home team's runs were earned, and one of Tacoma's, too. Both pitchers struck out five men. and both gave three bases on balls. Portland made one double play, and had seven players left on bases at tb.e end of the innings. Portland's first score was the result of Muller's two-bagger and a single by "Weed. Muller opened up the inning with his little hit, and stayed on second while Van' Buren spoiled his good batting aver age of 1000 for tfye last two games by go ing out at first on a grounder. Weed drove hard, however, when it came his turn, and Maxie steamed in for a big 1 on the blackboard at the end of the field. The second drew a blank, but In the first half of the third Tacoma made the little score of the "Webfooters look like 30 cents! Letcher flew out to the ever-ready Muller, and Nagle got a base on balls. "Home run" Rockenfield hit a three-bagger that went out to the back garden in left, and Kagle scored from first; Hutchinson sent 'a grounder out by Anderson, who should have nailed It, but he didn't, and Rock enfield scored, Huch making his first with ease. Anderson forced Huchinson out at second, ana ine iroriiana ooys'iriea lor a double that didnlt pan out the way it was wanted to. However, It didn't matter, for Swindells forced Andrews out in turn, and that ended the Tigers' run-getting for that game at least. For two innings the teams played error less ball, then, in the sixth, the fun com' menced again. Andrews hit and Swin dells went to first on the error of "Wit beck. Fisher forced Swindells out at sec ond; and Zalusky went out to Murdock on the nicest catch of the day. In the mean time Andrews had a fine opportunity to win the game for Tacoma, but he went to sleep on third and didn t come homo .when he should. Pitcher McCarthy struck out, and the crowd applauded "Wltbeck's efforts, for "Mc" is a hard hitter at times, and a hit would have meant a winning run by Andrews. For Portland, "Wltbeck made first on Huchinson's error. and went out a minute later by the swift work 01 tne pitcner. M.uuer made his sec ond two-bagger of the day, and after Van Buren went out at first, he came home when "Weed hit for two sacks to extreme right field. This was the last run that was made in the game, the score being 2 all. Portland didn't have -a show In the last half of the ninth, and Andrews only got as far as second in the first half of the tenth. In the second half Delsel struck out and "Wltbeck flew out. It looked good for another out, but Muller and Van Bu ren both walked. They advanced a base apiece on a passed ball, and the chance for a winning run loomed up big again, but "Weed hit a grounder to Third Base man Andrews, and it put him out at first, thus ending the inning. . It was getting very darkj and, after a conference by the managers, the umpire announced that the game would be called, and that It would be played off today.

BUTTE UP IX THE AIR, Seattle Scratched Gravel and Scdred Tallies. SEATTLE, Sept. 21. Before the largest crowd ever atending a ball game in the Northwest, Butte went up in the air in the sixth Inning, and when they came down again Seattle had scored seven runs. Stovall pitched gilt-edged ball, one of the two hits secured off him being a scratch. He should have had a shut-out, but the crowd on the field prevented fast fielding. Mclntyre and Hurley had a fight, and both were put out of the game. Score: SEATTLE. AB. R. IB. PO. A. E.

Sept 2L Pfelster was too strong for the Helena hitters, who could do nothing with his slants after the first Inning. Slagle was in fair form, but the locals bunched hits on him in two Innings and secured a lead which the visitors could not overcome. It was an excellent game.

HITS OFF THE DIAMOND PEXXAXT RACE GOES OX MERRILY BETWEEN SEATTLE AND BUTTE. Portland Picks Up a Little Van Bu ren and Muller Improve in, Stick Work. Summed up briefly, the results of the past week have been as follows: Won. Lost Portland 3 1 Seattle 4 1 Spokane 2 3 Tacoma 1 3 Butte V, 1 4 Helena 3 2 The race, for the pennant goes merrily on, with Seattle and Butte still neck and neck in the lead. Helena is higher than at the first of the week, and Portland a trifle better, too.

Tho Lewis and Clark authorities offer a prize of $250 for tho best 'design to suit the purposes of this exposition. ent better than ever before, even though not In the lead. The nine had. Butte well in hand during the series at the home city, and took all but one of the games. Portland is ahead a little, though the pennant is still far, far away. Van Buren is1 getting to hit a few, and the Portland fans are getting dead stuck on him. His batting average was 1000 for Saturday and Sunday's first game, and he stopped every ball that came into the center garden. He fell off a little In his hits in the tie game yesterday, but he did good work in the first game all right Muller is also having a batting streak, and one of Portland's victories is attributed to his good stick work. He Js another player that Is absolutely certain of getting the balls that come Into his territory, and the dependence on him Is absolute. Stovall at first is a sure man, though he has not yet made a good rec ord with the bat His errors at first are excusable, and on the whole he is a good player and avyaluable acquisition to the webfooters. Murdock'e work in right field has aroused the local fans to a high pitch of admiration, and every time he goes to the bat he is greeted with a good round of applause. He deserves it all right, for some of his catches In the last series have been a little short of marveloua He can run like Zeiglcr, too, and that makes him all the better when he gets on bases. Spokane will be here for five games commencing with tomorrow, and omitting Friday, as usual. Umpire McCarthy, who has proved that he is onto his Job, will remain in Portland, and will see that the games come off smoothly and without any kicking or wrangling. It is too bad that he was not on hand to settle the points in the Seattle scries, for if he had there would have been none of the disgraceful wrangles on the part of Klopf and Stan ley that occurred nearly every day. The pennant situation appears as fol lows to tho sporting editor of the Seattle Times: ' In summing It up. It may be said that the pennant Is neither won nor lost up to date. Butte has the advantage because she Is on top, and it Is always easier to stay on top than It Is to make an uphill fight to get there. But at that Seattle will have the natural advantago of playing on her home grounds, something that cannot be overlooked In the betting. Butte has played her last game at home, while Seat tle will be here for the final 15. If the fans back the locals up now they ought to win every series, and Judging from the way the faithful turned out last week, there will be no lack of enthusiasm and support from now on. The California League magnates will take the Portland and Seattle, teams in their league next spring, if It can be shown that these two teams leave the Northwest League with a clean recoftl. If, on the" other hand, the remaining teams In the league announce that Port land and Seattle aro deserters, and that they will be replaced in the league by new teams, the California people will not extend the glad hand. The San Francisco Chronicle says: President Lucas Is scurrying around In an en deavor to replace the two clubs If their man agements Join forces with the four clubs here. He has made a visit to Salt Lake and Ogden, Interesting capital In both ' places. Vancouver and Victoria are also applicants for berths In his organization. But should all four of these cities be Included In a circuit with Spokane, Tacoma, Butte and Helena, It could hardly make a successful league. Big railroad ex penses and small gate receipts would be largely at variance. The idea is deep-rooted In the minds of the California magnates, who have the above facts In their possession, that Lucas really Intends to put other teams In Portland and Seattle in case the present clubs Join forces with Califor nia. This would precipitate a baseball war that would be expensive to the California Interests, no matter what the ultimate outcome. Henry Harris likes the expansion proposition for sev eral reasons. He thinks the greater number of teams and the consequent change of faces would be of benefit to the game, and he is familiar enough with conditions In the cltle3 mentioned to believe that their acquisition would bring financial benefit But he does not want to rush into 'conflict with opposition, and Is having the situation la the North carefully canvassed .be fore he will use his influence and cast his vote In favor of admitting the cities to the present successful circuit Manager Morley says that the proposition Is one to which he Is 'absolutely Indifferent. "If they can come In without causing any trouble up there, 1 am In favor of expanding, .but not otherwise." he says. "It Is only a matter of an other year when the weaker cities of their clr-' cult' will drop out anyhow, and they will have to coma to us If they want good baseball. At equltable terms, and with everything favorable, I shall vote for the admission of Portland and Seattle to our league, but not otherwise." ' m In discussing the -situation. President Lucas says, in tho Seattle Times: "I have been down In Utah looking over the situation, and must say .that. I am favorably Impressed with the move. The clubs there play 50-cent ball, and we have secured a railroad rate of IS from Butte. It. seems to me the league Is ready -for expansion, and it clearly lies between the Canadian cities and those in Utah. I will go to Vancouver before I return tp Spokane, and talk matters over with the fans there. Of course. It must all be decided at the annual business meeting'' of the league. It doesn't make any difference to me. If wo are going to expand I want the cities In that will support the game as it should be." D. E. Dugdale said: "This talk about the Sound teams Jumping to the California League Is all bosh. "Why, wo would have to open and close the season down there, and we wouldn't be able to win a pen nant once In a thousand' years. Not much! I know a good thing when I see It and I Intend to slick by the Pacific Northwest League. As far as expansion Is concerned, I am in favor of It. as I think It would tend- to keep up the Interest. Vancouver and Victoria look the best if we can have Sunday ball there, and I under- TO ADVERTISE THE ST. LOUIS FAIR that day. Otherwise, I will switch to the Utah towns. "We have a fairly good 'rate from Butte down. ,It all depends, however, on whether or not the 'Canadian towns will play Sunday ball." In case the Mormon cities win out, then Buck Weaver, who Is now playing first for Butte, will manage the team in Salt Lake. Buck be lieves, of course, that the venture would pay. He played with Walla Walla awhile this Sum mer, to get a line on young blood, and says he has signed two very promising youngsters for next year. As far as the Times is concerned, we are In favor of expansion. If wo can do so without sprawling all over he map. With Dugdale, we say Victoria and "Vancouver, provided of course, they can play Sunday ball. However, the league with six clubs has been a paying venture, and a success In every way. The men who control tho destiny of this league want to debate the question seriously, for once the league Is killed, as Harry HIggins In the Ledger says. It will take years to bring It back to life. The gentleman that presides over the sporting pencil of the Seattle P. -I. was evldenttly suffering under a misappre hension when he wrote the following screed about the Webfoot town. Ajfc no time did the Portland players act In the way that Is attributed . to them, and all the arguments and difficulties that arose on the field were due to some of the at tempted square decisions of Umpire Fisher: Reports from Portland Indicate that visiting tealns are not always treated fairly there. It would seem as though Portland should have Been satisfied with 11 men on the diamond, and xef rained from personal violence and even In sults to tho few friends Seattle had among the boisterous crowd.

He could point to thousands he has cured, but he has alwaysvmade it a rule to never use a patient's name. He wouldn't tell your own father that he was doctor ing you. His word is good and he guarantees to cure any case he takes. He cured a case of private disease last month that had been treated by five doctors. He wants just such cases that other doctors can't cure. SAD -V SUFFERING ' WOMEN The Ladies' Department is luxurious, and there is no need cf you suffering any longer from your complicated diseases. Dr. Kessler will see you himself if you call for him. He is a very busy man, but any lady who desires to consult him in person can see him. Quite a number are sent by country doctors.

Sam Framoiico, Cal. THIS WEEK IT WILL BE INTERESTING A Large Number of Fine Up rights to Be Sold This Week at Dealers' Wholesale Prices. Six Dollars a Month Will Se cure Choice of Nearly Two Carloads. During this week we wish to sell something like three carloads of the very best medium-grade pianos ever shown in Portland. They were regularly sold by another retail house for Vzla and ?300 here tofore. These instruments are greatly Im proved, and better made than they were when they were sold at the above-mentioned figure heretofore. In fact, we doubt very much as to whether a San Francisco branch store or a concern get ting Its pianos from San Francisco Job bing - houses or on consignment from money brokers could afford to sell them for less than $325 even now and make a living profit But we are going to sell these instruments during the coming week for $204 each, and the plainer styles for $173, and, to make it an object for you to take one of them quickly, we will sell you one on payment of $10 down and $6 a month. Remember the prices. $173 and $2W. one and the same to all alike, no more will be asked, no less will be ac cepted; 3 per cent off for all cash, or $10 down and $6 a month, with interest on de ferred payments at S per cent per annum. We are sure you will not find .a single one of these pianos on hand by the end of this week. Better come in at once and pick out the one you like best. These pianos are fully warranted. They are cabinet grand pianos In mahogany, oak and walnut, full 7 1-3 octaves,- and while we are willing to take $204 and $173 for them, rest assured they are in every way as good and as valuable as the in struments were heretofore, when sold for $300. It is not that ttc are selling cheaper plnnon, hut we're selling pinnoK cheaper. We have told you how in conducting four leading stores in four leading cities under cne management we save money in buying large quantities of pianos; how we save money in shipping them without boxes, how our store rents are less per piano sold than any other dealer's, how, in fact, our selling expense Is less by many dollars than other dealers or agents, large or small. That's how we can sell these olanos at these low figures now. and still say that we are standing back of every repre sentation that our salesmen make regard ing them. "Money back it not satisfied." applies to these pianos, as- well as to the highest-priced Chickering. and Weber, and Kimball. See them early this week. Bring $10 for a first payment down, and pay the rest as suits vou best Remember the place and street number, Ellers Piano- tiouse, 3ol Washington street, opposite Cordray's Theater.
