Hogg did the serving for Dug's bunch. He ozoned eight, gave eight free tickets to the first -way station, jammed the horsehide Into the middle structure of Lundbom and at the same time allowed the Greengages only three widely scattered hits. And this was not all of the pranks that Hogg cut up during the session. Twice he sulked like a spoiled baby deprived of the joys of play ing in the mud. His first outbreak came when the game was droaning along like a snail traveling up hill. Freeman threw a ball to him that was swift, and he passed a few uncomplimentary things to the big first guardian. Then he got into a tangle with Stanley and Hulen, and for a time It looked as if he would walk off the -diamond. In the ninth and closing chapter, after Shay had jolted out a double-sacker, he walked Hanley, -who had made a triple In the fourth inning, and Harmon. Then, just to show that he did not fear Dugdale or Captain Hulen, he forced a run by hitting Lundbom. Hulen got so frightened At Hogg's case of sulks that he began to warm up another pitcher. Umpire Grows Offensive. . This bit of diamond strenuousness and "Umpire Huston's driving Slats Davis off the ground were about the only interest ing features of the day. Davis got Into trouble with Huston because the umpire ordered Lundbom to "play ball" in a most offensive manner. A ioul had tipped Its way off Lundbom's bat. The Greengage pitcher claimed to have been hit on the finger by the ball, and was endeavoring to ease the pain by rubbing the Injured digit in the sand near the home plate. Huston did not believe the pitcher had been hit. and, using a slave-driver's voice, ordered the Swede back into the game. Then Slats broke forth and said things, and for his unrequested comment he "was driven to the clubhouse. Shay went to first base, but even this change could not help mat ters. Parrott's timely swats were sadly missed. He turned his ankle, and it will be days before he is soaking the ball all over the lot. Chick Fisher floated into Grim's camp, and he did some very cred itable work at short. Painter went Into left garden, and it was with this line-up that the game was -played. It was Hanley's triple In the fourth after Anderson had walked that gave the Greengages their first score, and It was not until the ninth Inning that they had another look-in at the home pan. In spite of Hogg's wlldness, not a Greengage got as far as third base until that last inning, and this part of the story has been told. With the Chinooks it was different In the second canto, Drennon hit and was advanced to second on Babbit's out from Davis to Lundbom. Stanley poked out his triple, and. while Hogg was ozonlng, he scored on a passed ball. In the fourth Inning a two-bagger by Drennon, followed shortly by a double-sacker by Stanley, brought in another run. In the fifth chap ter. Hulen drew a fielder's choice and stole third. He scored while Freeman, who had got to first by being hit, was flying at second. Two singles and a dou ble and an error "by Harmon gave Seattle the fifth tally. In the ninth Inning a compound error by Donahue gave them the sixth and last run. By a fast and heady play, Donahue helped his team out of trouble in the eighth inning. Hulbert was tearing from home on Babbitt's bun tatlon, and Lundbom, Davis and Donahue were after It. Donahue got the ball, and, climbing half over Lundbom's shoulder, threw to Anderson, catching Hulbert just as he was getting In the clear. The score: PORTLAXD. AB. R. IB. PO. A. E. Donahue. 2b...

HILL XIXE WIXS IX XIXTH. Heavy Batting: Lone Portland Acad emy Final Game of Series.. Yesterday afternoon the basebalL teams of the Hill Military Academy and Port land Academy crossed bats in the final game of the series scheduled among the. preparatory schools of Portland. The game was a close one from the start, full of close plays and good work on both sides, and aroused the bleachers to cheers in the ninth Inning, when, with a score of 2 to 5 against them, the Hill boys took a ir.it hty brace, found their batting eyes, and batted out a victory by scoring five runs. The final score was 7 to 5 in favor of the H. M. A. The star feature of the game was the phenomenal pitching of Martin for H. M. A . who struck put 14 men. He was given excellent support by the entire team. Whiting, Alexander, Van Houten and Bountree particularly distinguishing them selves. For the P. A., the best playing was done by Chalmers, Houston, Moreland and Stott A neat double play was made In the fifth inning, whei Martin nailed a hot liner directly ttt the bat and whipped It over to first lisc. thus retiring the side.

BY-GETTING BROWN FRANCHISE Tito ' Offers Were Made for Both , Portland and Seattle Teams of Ceaat League, but Owners Refused to Sell. ' What would you have thought if this morning, you had read that the Pacific Coast franchises of Portland and Seattle had been sold to friends of the Pacific National League- and that the "Browns and Parke Wll son'n crew had been eulled to the cream? This would have set you talk ing as you never have In your life be fore, wouldn't It? Well, all this did not take place, but there was a full-fledged rumor that such a plan was not only sanctioned by the Pacific National League people, -but that the deals were under way in both cities. In Portland, after the office boy had sleuthed and played the Sherlock Holmes act for several hours, therumor proved to be as elusive as a sunbeam, but at the same time enough was learned to almost establish a case. Of course the directors of the Browns were hunted up, but they were- silent, " oh! so silent From other sources, however. It was learned that not long ago an attempt had been made to buy the Portland Pacific Coast franchise. A fancy price was offered, but it was not for sale, and from what was said on the subject yesterday it the franchise never was for sale. Shortly after the offer to buy the Portland Browns was made, it Is said that certain directors learned that the deal to buy the club was for the pur pose of getting It out of existence and thereby to deal a deadly blow to the Pacific Coast League. The second attempt to buy the Browns was set afoot within the past two. weeks. Not only have outsiders been trying to buy the club, but a couple of local men with money, believing that the club" in the Pacific Coast League would be a money maker in Portland, were willing to pur chase It These men. it might be well to mention, had jio intention of buying the club for the alleged purpose of helping kill off the Pacific Coast League. " It" was out side money placed in the hands of certain local pereons through whom -the "death dealing" blow was" to be delivered. In a w&rd. the club was to be bought pre sumably by men who were to stick with the Pacific Coast only they did not In tend to stick. The deal fell through be cause the principal stockholders whose money Is backing the Browns have no desire to sell. That this .story has some foundation eeems certain, but Just who is behind It and where the leak- came from cannot be brought home. In spite of, the silence, of certain parties mixed up In local baseball, everything points to an attempt at such a deal. Neither could it be confirmed that President Lucas had given his sanc tion, or had a hand in the deal. If the sefceme could be worked. It would without doubt "be rather a neat coup d'etat There is. however, no chance of a deal of this sort being pulled off In Portland, because, as has been stated, the Browns are not for sale. This Is the emphatic statement of the directors. They are with the Pacific Coast League to the end. so that's ended. In Seattle from what could be learned last night, there is absolutely no chance to work the deal. The men- who -are financing the Pacific Cd,ast League in the Sound city also declare that their fran chise is not for sale. Perhaps one of the things that might have given some steam to this tale Is the presence of Milton L. Schmltt. of San Francisco, air. Schmltt Is a stockholder and attorney for the San Francisco Pa cific National League club. He has been In Portland a week looking over the base ball situation and on personal business. He was seen last night at the Portland Hotel, but denied most emphatically that he"was in Portland for the purpose of helping the deal along. He said: "I know nothing about any such attempt to oust the Pacific Coast League from Portland and Seattle. I doubt "very much whether such a deal Would be permitted under the !Natlonal agreement under which we Joined the National Association of Base ball Leagues. If (he thing could have been worked successfully. It would certainly help to crush the Pacific Coast League." There were other things which air. Schmltt told, but they were In the nature of confidence, so they will not be men tioned. The fact remains that two differ ent attempts have been made to buy the Brown franchise. Glendon and Stovnll Did Xot Jump. It was Mr. Schmltt who rounded up the missing Martin Glendon and Jesse Stovall, who. It was thought had Jumped to the opposition. Stovall and Glendon did Jump, but It was Into several flagons of Portland beer and gin, and not to the opposition. Stovall and Glendon "Strayed from Mc Closkey's fold on the eve of their depart ure, and it was not until McCIoskey count- by the Illustrated S porting Xws Co. ROCHELLE AXD BREAKIXG ed noees at the train that he discovered that two of his pitchers were among the missing; It was too late to send out scout ing parties among Portland's famous thirst JoInt3. so McClos-key -wired to Mr. Schmltt. asking him to get the two pltch" ers on board a train, which Mr. Schmltt did. The Bay City attorney found the pitch ers and saw to It that they boarded a train. Glendon went straight through Helena, but Stovall, whose finger was broken during the game last Sunday, will remain In Seattle until the San Francisco team arrives to play the series with Dug dale when he will return from Portland.

I beg you to believe that I fully appreciate and highly prize this express ion. I think next to the splendid fight ing which was done on both sides In the Civil War, the re-establishment of friend ly relations and common sympathies be tween the two sections within the lifetime of the very men who fought so desperate ly against eacji other Is a high title to respect for Americana by all the world."

The one error made by Portland was that of Ander son, and It came on a hard chance. He got the ball, but the play was fast and he threw a little wide. Hess caught the balU and It looked as if the runner was out, but the umpire decided otherwise. Raldy made two fine running catches, and Schmeer played a great game at third. One of the hits off Engle was a scratch, as Schmeer got the ball, but his wea'k ankle turned under him as ha started to throw. The work of Nadeau at the bat was a feature. He beat out two bunts, and cracked th ball out hard on two other occasions. Ulnssar's home run was a fluke.
