Yesterday's contest at the baseball park marked the close of the champlbnshlp season of the Pacific Northwest Baseball League, and for the fifth time in the final aeries Helena left the field victorious- score 4 to 2. It was a sad contrast to the opening game of the season, when Jack Flannery came here with his ramshackle nine and placed the mighty Wiggs in the box to be batted all over the lot for decisive victors for the locals. Since that time Helena has been strengthened in wonderful manner, while the Portland team has not been Improved in the least. and has in many places been weakened, The game yesterday was unsatisfac tory in many ways. To start in with Ed Rankin came on the field and announced that, as Lynch had been called away on account of sickness in his family, that he would do the umpiring. Lynch developed Into a favorite last week, and while Ran kin Is a local man, his work as an umpire is not looked upon with much favor. His work yesterday was somewhat better than it has been on several previous oc caslons. He struck out several Portland players, however, and was hard on both pitchers. Some of his base decisions were awfuL Another cause for dissatisfaction was the playing of the two teams. Port land put up the same bum game that has been exhibited by the nine, all week. They couldn't hit a balloon, and in the third Inning the fielding was something fierce. Helena also did .some loose fielding in the first Inning, but after that the errors were few and far between, and might eas ily be classed as excusable. Van Buren seemed to be the only man that was en tirely in the game. Fly after fly was sent to his territory, and he was under them every time. Diamond Locket for Vlgaeas. When Manager Vigneux came to the bat in the first Inning with the bases full, he was presented with a bouquet, -and then the game was stopped for about five min utes. The occasion for the delay was to allow the Portland manager to be pre sented with a, diamond locket donated to the best all-around player on the Port land team by Harry Tracey and Martin Denny. The contest has been on all sea son, and when the votes were counted Vigneux led the race. The presentation speech watf made by F. Alonzo Cook, the human megaphone, who, In 'a nea't man ner, prated Manager Vigneux for his work durW the season. Tba strain was too muci'for the manager, and ho struck. out, as he did several times after that. Thompson occupied the box for the vis itors, and took revenge for the bumping he cot In the only game of the series that Portland won. He kept his hits well. scattered, and his strike-out arm in fine working order. Kostal, who worked from, the slab for the locals, pitched a good game, with the exception of the third and .fourth Innings, when the Senators landeji on him for eight hlts.-.and brought in the four-runs they needed to win. 'Portland Starts the Scoring. wSbn Helena went out In an easy man ner ,5a the first inning, and Portland plied up -ibme runs, in the second half, it looked as if "the locals might be able to win a sraBte. Errors by Peeples and Thompson put Muller and Van Buren on the bases in the first. Weed wanted to sacrifice, and sent the ball along the third-base line toHolly. who gathered it up and threw to first. Umpire Rankin had ,to dodge the ball and did not see the play. He called Weed safe! "although he was dead out This filled the bags, with no one out, and brought Anderson to the bat, but that gentleman had to walk away from the plat without hitting the ball. Then came Vlgneux's prOud moment. After re ceiving "his present, the Portland manager never wanted a hit so bad in his life. There was his chance to distinguish him self, with three men on the bases and but one out, but Thompson disregarded all professional . courtesy, and instead of helping the little catcher out in his ef forts, he. fanned him out. Adams came to the bat and got two strikes called on him. Then it looked hopeless for Port land, but he managed to send the ball to Schmeer, who juggled it and let .the man reach first in safety, while Muller, scored Murdock came up, with the bases still populated, and when he lined the ball out toward third base, It looked as .if two mpre runs would be added, but Holly got in the way of the sphere and stopped the whole business by hanging on to It. Helena Takes the Lead. Things went along smoothly until the third, when Helena sent'every man on the batting list to the bat. Llppert started off and got to first, because Weed made a bad throw to Stovall. Thompson smashed the ball to? 'left field, but was caught at second, afer" & play to get Llppert at third. Another error by Weed gave Schmeer Jife at tirst anJ let Llppert tie the .score.. The Senators were not content to rest there, but filled the bases with Peeples and Holly on hits by each. Sulli van bunted the ball along toward third but It could not be handled in time to get either of the four runners, so one more tally- was added by Schmeer. Hannlvan hit to Kostal and Peeples was" forced out at the plate, with tho bases still full Shaffer came to the bat and put the ball to Adams for a questionable hit, which let In Holly. A fly to Weed stopped the run-making for that inning. Three safe hits off Kostal by Llppert, Thompson and Schmeer again filled the bases for Helena in the fourth, with no one out. Llppert scored when Peoples forced Schmeer out at second. Howpyer. that was all that could be accomplished In that inning. From then until the, ninth both teams played slow and lndlf-. ferent ball. Raakla Helps the Senators. In the eighth Portland got decidedly the worst of Rankin's decisions. Van Buren, the first man up, sent the ball screeching, past the first bag. The ball was close to the line, but easily fair and good for three bases at the least, but Rankin called It a foul. Van did succeed in reaching first on an error by Peeples, and a hit by Weed' sent him along a notch farther. Veed: SEATTLE HAS A SNAP. Two Tacoma Pitchers Fall to Defeat the Clamdlggers.

The candidates for the Multnomah team have 'been practicing faithfully for the past; iew weeks, and nre showing up in fine form. For every practice a large number of candidates have.shownup. Yes terday morning 20 of the ambitious kick ers of the pigskin were on the Multnomah field, where the first practice In lino buck ing was held. Every evening the team goes to Bishop Scott Academy drill hall for 'signal work, and Is put through a stiff course of training, under the direc tion, of Coach McMillan and Captain Klrkley. Dr. Woodruff also turns out with the boys and assists in the coaching. The Multnomah team for this season will probably be the lightest ever turned out by that organization. George -McMil lan and Martin Pratt are the only ones of the old heavyweights who are trying for positions on the team. Nearly all of the other candidates for the team are from the younger members of the clubr Pre paratory to the garrie with Whitman next Saturday, the team will go through signal practice every evening this week. So far tne worx oi xne ieum hub ueuu spirueu, and a steady Improvement Is shown In the manner In which the candidates aro getting down to work. With a little more practice and experience, still further Im provement may be looKed ror. Captain Klrkley 13 after a position at tackle, and Is showing up exceedingly well In the position. Martin Pratt is also out for his old position at tackle, and shows up In tho same strong manner as in previous years. For the guard, the veteran, George Mc Millan. Is a fixture. Valentine and Kren- nlck are out for places. Valentine is a new man and a likely player. He runs low and strong with the ball. Krennlck, Is also a new hand at the game, ana is showing up In good form. Dr. Woodruff will most likely not play with the club team, except in tho game with Reliance. End candidates are plentiful. Ralph Fisher, captain of the Stanford 'varsity team last year, may try for end or half back. Dowllng, who played on the club team In several of the games lost season. Is also trying to get in the position. Tld come, Crosby, Bailey and Joe Pratt are all after the same position. Blanchard, the Portland Academy coach, who was on the Amherst team last year, will also try for a position at end, if It Is found that his coaching at the academy does not in I terfere with his amateur standing. "Gib" The pennant race in the Northwest Baseball League is ended, and- to Butte goes tho honor of being champions of 1902. Undoubtedly the main reason "for the suc cess of the. Butte team is tho money spent by the club in the securing of players. The other teams, with tho exception of Portland, all spent more than was al lowed by the salary limit of $1200, a sum entirely too small to keep a first-class team in the field. With the Portland Club things were different. Too little money, by far, was used by the management to build up the team. Until June 14 Portland had what might have been called a fair chance ot winning the pennant. Up to that time the club was either in first or second place the most of the time. It was on June 11 that Portland opened In Montana, and then the famous "fourteen straight" defeats started. That string of losses gave the team a setback from which it never re covered. After that the Portland Club had nothing but a bare fighting chance to win the blue rag. Portland had an easy time in 1901, and the .directors supposed that the same team would be aoie to enter in tne race and attain come out victorious. In that they were greatly mistaken. They reck oned without the other clubs in the league who had profited by previous experience. The other teams In the league spared no exnense to set the men they wanted. As soon a3 Butte, Seattle and Helena found that they had men on their teams that were not fast enough for the company, now men were secured and the others re leased; Not so with Portland. The local club could not get good men at the sal aries they were paying, hence It Kept what it had, with the result that the team was defeated at almost every turn of the road. If the Portland Club had been freer with its money and' imported new play ers to take the place of those men mat have played on the, team witnout an apology for batting eye, the club might have again had the glory of coming out jn first place. For example, Claude Schmeer, a local ballplayer, who was raised In Portland and learned the game here, and is now the best shortstop in tne leakue. could have been secured by the local club if lthdd been willing to give. him a reasonable- salary, insteaa, .ueiena grahbed him and found a jewel. Throughout the season the Portland rinh has shown a disposition to oe "tlehiL." Just why the club should do so is hard to say. The organization made money last year; more than any other club In the leamie. It nad a suDstantiai start this season, and was in a better position than any of the, other clubs to make an extra outlay. Other teams got new men and good men. Why could not Portland do the same? Because the man agement would not pay the salaries neces sary to cet such men, The failure to strengthen tne team at an additional expense only served to lose monev for the club. Ever since the man agement showed a disposition not to build un the nine's weak points the attendance began to fall oft. wniie, on tne omer hand, if Portland had had a nine tnai could put up a lively, Interesting game with the other teams, the crowds would have been doubled, and In many cases tripled. The followers of baseball do not want to go out and see a game full of errors. They do not want to see a team that cannot hit the ball while the other team nuts the sphere to all corners ot the field. What they want to see is nine good, snappy fielders, and nine men who can be relied upon to hit the ball not a lot of scratch-hitters, who" can never be de pended upon to make the necessary bingo when It Is needed. For Instance, take the crowd of yesterday. It was a fair- sized attendance. But 16 Portland had had a team that was worth going out to o,.it Tifrnl tint tmvn heen Keatlncr as they have-not neen practicing xne bu capacity for the numbers that would have tengin oi ume, unu uuve-uui. ucn turned out, on several occasions through petty jealousy.

During the last of the ninth inning the youngsters gath ered on the field prepared to grab the bats of the Portland players at the end of the game and keep them as souven irs. Some of them got anxious and start ed In on the willows too early, and the eanc had to be driven away. Then about half of them gathered about third base and helped Shea coach the baserunnere. Soon it developed that all of tne nans were missing, and It was several mla utes before one could be found with which to continue the game.

"Jfotea of the Closing Game, "Kid" Peoples made a number of pretty stops and throws yesterday. Vigneux and Kostal each struck out three times yesterday, and Anderson fanned twice. Claude Schmeer, the Helena shortstop who resides in Portland, was remembered by his friends with a bouquet yesterday. Manager Vigneux also has a gold watch ! Uontague, who was Multnomah's famous coming to him to go with his. diamond end for a number of years, is not out for matched. Pacific University has no place in the race, for its team is. an aspirant for Intercollegiate honors; and is at tne pres ent time touring Eastern Washington and playing college teams. The remaining seven elevens will fight for the champion ship of Portland vicinity, and each team will probably have one or two games with each of the others to settle the matter. It Is generally conceded that the teams that have the best prospects are Port land Academy, the Medical College, the Hill Military Academy and the Jtiign School. Unless some one of the other schools makes a marked advance or se cures some new material In the near fut ure It will probably not bo in the finals for first honors. All the local teams have secured coaches that know their business, and will en deavor" to bring out winning teams. All are college men, and have played on their 'varsity elevens, and they will Infuse a college spirit ot school patriotism in the players of their respective teams. Zelgler,. who will work with the Hill Military Academv boys, is a graduate of the Uni versity of .Oregon, and has played oil the varsity several years. Blanchard, the coach at Portland Academy, and assist ant instructor in mathematics, is a gradu ate of Amherst of the class of 1902 and a 'varsity ball player.

With but very few ex ceptions, the entire line-up of the present team should be changed. Now that the last game has been played, the interest of baseballdom cen ters upon the annual meeting or tne league that Is to be hold at Spokane next Wednesday. The question of the most Importance to come up at this meeting Is 'whether or not tho Northwest League Is to enlarge its circuit. Two more clubs would be a good thing for the league, If It were not for the long Jumps and con sequent transportation expenses. Salt Lake and Ogden will probably be the ad ditions to the leajrue if any are made. Among the other things to be done at the meeting Is the election of a president for the next year. Although Portland Is op posed to the re-election e Mr. W. H. Lucas to that position, It looks as if ne would get the place. The other teams In the league all seem ready to support mm; so, unless something unexpected develops, he will again be at the head of the league affairs. Now that the pennant race Is over and Seattle did not come out on top. that city, according to its traditional record, is com ing to the front with Its excuses and ac cusations.

The watch is the result of the vote taken for the most popular player , on. the team. j An occurence seldom seen in a ball game, happened yesterday. Muller, who had two strikes on blm in the seventh Inning, calmly watched a ball float over the plate and then threw his bat away In disgust, supposing that he had struck for several days t.h nosltlon this year. George Kellar is after the place at cen ter. Kellar played with the team last year, and gives promise of becoming a crack player. Wilcox, formerly of the University of Kansas team, was out in practice with the team yesterday, but bruised his shoulder, and will be laid out out. But not so. Umpire Rankin called lta ball and Max had another chance. The decision made Pitcher Thompson hot, and he came near quitting the game. "Dicky" Knox, of the Butte team, found out ' last week that the. use of profane language Is expensive. He let a number of fdul words escape his Hps so that they were audible to several ladies in the grandstand in the opening game at Spo kane. President Lucas heard of it and, Imposed a- fine of $20 on the Butte player,; and more than that he made him apolo gize in person to tho ladies who heard "Dicky Bird's" haughty words.

The rules that have been approved by the College Association and recommended for ndnntlon bv the various institutions will be very beneficial to athletics In the state If enough attention is given to them. Most of the schools have had some sort of regulations heretofore, generally local in their application, and rather con flicting with each other. If these new regulations are adopted and enforced, by the most Influential universities and. acad emies of the district embraced, a uni form system will be secured that will be better for athletics than .all tne local regulations that have ever existed. For Instance, In the past there has been much argument as to what work a student must do to be a bona nde student and a rep resentative of his school or -college on the athletic field. One school says 10 hours' work a week done by any student will make him a bona fide representative, while another institution says no student can play who does less than 12. One school plays anybody who has registered. even if he only takes baths In the gym nasium, and then hOwls if he is protested. The new' ruling makes all this clear, and says that to be a bona nde student a player must do 12 periods or hours of recitation work a week, two hours spent in the'flaboratory counting as one recita tion. "Lax methods in the past have al lowed coaches to play on the teams that they were instructing, and at some times the opposing teams were as much at fault as the offender for allowing such a breach of amateur rules to occur. Now it will not be" the business of the contestants alone, but of all who adopt the resolu tions, and an action of the sort named will result in. more than howling after xne .game, - ana nara,ieenng proaucea Dy unnecessary correspondence in the pa pers. of laying down to Butte, both at home and In Butte.

Don't xput off any longer; have your case attended to today, for your looks tell on you. You may conclude to get married some day, and to live happy you must bo a man rugged and strong physically and mentally. So many divorce cases we hear of.
