"DICK" SMITH WINS HONORS AT COLUMBIA.
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

Thompson occupied the box for the vis
itors, and took revenge for the bumping

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:

The Multnomah team for this season

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

The Helena-Portland game yesterday
came near being called off on account of
an army of small boya. 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

It Is to be hoped that the directors of
tho Portland Baseball Club have learned
a lesson that they will not forget, and
that next year Portland will have a nine
in the field that can play baseball as It
should bo played. 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 Times of yesterday morn
ing charges Manager John T. McCloskey,
of the Butte club, with" attempting to
break up tho Seattle team by causing

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.

Plowden Scott, who made a reputation
as a quarterback on the Portland Acad
emy eleven of 1901, - will most likely fill
a like position on the Multnomah team.
He is doing good work in the position, and
passes the ball in fine style.-
For the backs Bishop, Cook, Kerrigan
and Fisher are likely men Bishop played
on the Salem team, and is a strong llne
bucker. Cook is a younger player, and
has not been In the game much of late.
He played fullback on the Portland Acad
emy team several years ago, and later
played on the Lawrencevllle School
eleven. Bert Kerrigan, captain ot" the.
club team last year, and quarterback, is
after the position of fullback this year.
Manager Whiting, ot tKe State Medical
School football team, is well pleased wth
the showing that the eleven made during
the first game, which;' was played .with
Hill Military Academy . Saturday. "It-
teams of the country will bo good for
Portland students, and It should bring
them into the way sOf playing scientific
football and not the sort of hoodlum
slugging work that has been In evidence
now and then m tne .past.
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

According to the Times, Manager Dug-
dale lays the blame of losing the pennant
to his former Captain, Charles Schwaftz.
He says that Schwartz threw him down
