Jt was a large-sized tank of whitewash In fwhich Oscar Graham soused the Portland baseball tjutflt at Recreation Park this afternoon, and more than 8000 spectators looked on. Superior and heavy stick work Is what brought in nine runs for Oakland and netted a total of 12 base hits, five of them doubles, for the cripples, but it was Oscar Graham's mighty south paw that allowed but two safeties and prevented tallies being scored on the Portland sheet. Lohman's .boys started things in the third inning, when they beat in three runs and touched up McFarlan for four safe ties. Graham beat out the ball he dropped In front of the plate, O'Hara hit one through McFarlan, advancing Graham and and putting himself safely at first corner. IBuck Francks cracked out a hit to right, driving home Graham and putting O'Hara safely on third. Francks pilfered the sec ond sack, but Moskiman went out on an Snfleld fly. Charlie Schwartz swatted the leather for two bases, which was respon sible for the home-coming of O'Hara and Francks. Murdock fouled out, Messerly "walked, and was forced out at second a jnoment later on Gorton's infield hit. Oak land was thus three runs to the good, and jo remained until the fifth period, when mother tally was added. Schwartz again plugged out a two-bagger and scored on Clurdock's single. But the ninth and last time the cripples were permitted to slug the luckless McFarlan was the spectacu lar part of the show. The least said about the morning game fat Oakland the better it will appear for the Portland crowd. Cooper pitched for the cripples and Shields performed a like eervlce for Portland? Each twlrler was hit tov five safeties, but Pete's pets brought home a total of three runs, while not one "Webfoot made the round-trip Journey. Portland played the game in ragtime, and a total of eight errors Is quite sufficient ior any pitcher to lose his game. Raidy, Hollingsworth and Elsey we're the chief rOffenders,' and they each contributed two errors to the day's performance. Morning Game. PORTLAND. AB. R. IB. PO. A. E.

Indian Arrives In San- .Francisco Ready to Deliver the Goods. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. & (Special.) "There's the Indian," was the remark ionWi at Rporeation Park this afternoon when Sam Morris, the Indian pitcher for the Browns, appeared. Manager sammy Vlgneux of the Portland Browns received a message last night. It read: "Will be on hand Sunday and in shape to win for you." The terse telegram was signed "Sam Morris." Sam Is the Nez Perce Indian who won the two gomes he pitched for Portland when the Brownies were climbing out of the cellar Into third place on their own hunting grounds. Reports from Salem, Or., where Morris was raised, are that he can pitch with the best of them and that those who know a twlrler when they see one will recognize the goods in this brave. "You'll see for yourself," said Vlgneux last night. "Morris is no advance agent. All I have to do Is to put him on the slab. He does the rest himself." Tomorrow afternoon the plan Is to warm him up for the game he will pitch against Oakland on Labor Day. PACIFIC NATIONAL LEAGUE. Yesterday's Scores. Butte, 0; Salt Lake, 0. Seattle, 6; Spokane, 1.

Greatest Admirer of Brovrns Will Wlthdrav Smiling: Countenance. Jerry Powers, an ardent admirer of the Browns, general good fellow, and for the last couple of years employed at a local cigar store, left yesterday morning for Indlanola, la. Jerry's departure from Portland will be a great surprise to his many friends, who have looked upon him as a sort of fixture. He will also be great ly missed by the members of the baseball team, for It was Jerry who took a flying trip to Sacramento last Spring when the club was being tramped on by the South ern teams, and by his genial good humor and enthusiasm encouraged the Browns to keep plugging away. "When the Browns won their first game from Mique Fisher's crew on Good Friday, Jerry was the hap piest man In the country. Powers goes to Indlanola for the pur pose of going Into business with his broth er, who visited Portland several weeks ago for the purpose of taking Jerry back with him. Jerry liked selling cigars, but he was finally persuaded to join his brother in the clothing business. The good wishes of his Portland friends, and they are many, go with him, and while they I predict that he will soon tire of Iowa and again return to Portland, they hope his business venture will be successful.

She goes to an East ern college for further study after mak ing a tour of the Pacific Coast with Leong Chal Chu. their other three. Attendance. 12.000. ARE LIVING A RAPID LIFE MEN AND WOMEN OF TODAY TRAVEL THE PACE THAT KILLS. Dr. House Preaches Vigorously Against the Vices of the Age and Decadence of Nation. The vices of the times came In for a scathing, denunciation in terms which leave no room for mistake as to his meaning by the Rev Edwin L. House at the First Congregational Church yester day morning. The sermon was entitled "The Pace That Kills," and was a gen eral condemnation of the modern hjgh pressure life and exhortation to a quiet er, simpler life. Dr. House, after alluding to the burn ing of an automobile and the wrecking of a passenger train trying to make up lost time, in the way of an introduction came to the application of his subject in saying: "Our age is one of frantic haste and rush. The old leisure is gone. We have, no ume ior proper ana aaequate mental development; no time to see our children and families; no time to give to moral culture. Boys and girls are rushed for ward out of days that rightly belong to them, to take up duties that rightly be long to men and women. Young men and women too often come forth from school and college with frail bodies and over strung nerves. "Then look at some of the business methods of our day. How men by a fast pace that kills, are trying to amass wealth. Short cuts are made. Get-rlch-quick methods are adopted, and many men go so far that they deliberately steal from their employers, or from a deluded public. "And then we have a social pace that kills. In order to get into society, to stand well, and attract attention, one must be a 'faultless dresser.' The pace among young men and women of today of moderate earning capacity is too fast. It either compels many to run Into debt, or else drives them out on to the streets to act as highwaymen or, as often Is the case, to defalcation. "Says one: 'We have fallen on easy times. Life Is. luxurious. Ours is an age of cushions and rosewatcr.' But there 13 arduous -work to do. The city that has been given over to the control of gamblers and prostitutes, that has gone into part nership with the houses of evil, must 'reap the pace that kills,' "There Is a great city, in England that has a water supply with a deficiency of lime In it, and more warped and rickety limbs are to be seen In the children of that city than in any other city of Great Britain. And In our day religious living and thinking and voting, and social life is such, that the wonder grows, 'if there, could be any manhood under such Influ ence that would be robust and straight limbed.' We may stand the strain for awhile, but In the long run we shall reap what we are sowing. "Another pace that kills is riotous Hv ing. Lately our papers have given to us the career of two young men who have given themselves to women, wine and gambling, who took the downward grade. turned on steam and sent their palatial train to the bottom fast. "And some of our young women have been going at a frightful pace. During the past week or two, the names of half a dozen womeii have been In the press in connection with the charge of murder, and back of the murder was the nameless sin, and others have been connected with various other offenses against society until It would seem as If woman had come to the place where her life was making for destruction, rather than for reforma tion. "There Is a picture in Paris called the 'Decadence of the Romans.' The brutal ized faces have no trace of Roman dig nity, as one can see in contrasting them with the noble features of the statues which fringe the hall. It is a significant fact that the models for tho faces were found by the painter in the streets of Paris. It might be worth some material gain for some great artist to give us a picture entitled.: 'The Decadence of the Americans.' It might be true that degen erate sons might sneer at the hardihood of their fathers. But young men who have been introduced to dissipation, who get rotten before they get rip'e, who spend all their time in the sublime con templation of the height of their collar and the width of their shoe and tho color of their necktie, are not the men who will compare very favorably with the strong robust manly men of other days, and are not the ones to transform our cities, our politics or our morals. "It is time that the best element of the city put their hands on the throttle of city politics, and tlmo that all who love virtue and home, and morality, live a quieter, plainer and simpler life, if they would save our young men and women from the pace that kills." GAMBLERS ARE LOAFERS. Rev. W. B. Holllngshead Denounces Them as Enemy of Honesty. Rev. W. B. Holllngshead, pastor of Cen tenary Methodist Church, East Side, spoke last evening on "The Sin of Gambling." He said in part: "Gambling bears direct relation to the commercial Interests of the community. It is so subtle and deceptive that the ex tent and scope of the evil flowing out of it and from it Is not generally realized. Once a man becomes a gambler, outside of a miracle, there Is no hope of his re covery or escape-from the web of the evil. He Is ruined almost irretrievably. The Bible puts a premium on honest efforts. I have most profound respect for the man who gives honest toll or service in some form for all that ho receives, but only contampt for him who seeks to get some thing for nothing. The truly honest man gives honest toll or its equivalent for all he receives. Otherwise he is a gam bler or a thief. The principle to get rich quick is demoralizing and destructive to the commercial and Industrial life of the I community or city. It simply means something for nothing, and Is not honest. He who seeks riches by getting possession of the money or property of others Is dis honest. Such a man cannot make a good citizen. Gambling destroys all noble sen timent. The gambler becomes cold and hard-hearted, and will betray his best friend. He Is unfit for any trust or re sponsibility. Not infrequently the gam bler uses the money of others. The habit fastens itself upon young men before they are aware of It, and it destroys their char acter. "Our streets are crowded with idle men, even In these times of prosperity, who prey upon the community. They dress well, but they have no occupation. They are pro fessional gamblers. The ordinances of this city drive the tramp out of town or put him to work, but to this Idle floating population it does not apply. It rather protects this class. They throng our streets, and yet they have no business. They are protected. The politicians fear them and their power. Under the sanction of the law and the Indorsement of the officers, they ply their vocation of gam bling. "For the city to foster, to wink at or in any way protect the gambler com mits the greatest possible crime known to civilization, and that city which does so protect or foster this monster evil must suffer the consequences." Mr. Holllngshead gave many instances of the fatal passion for gambling, of Its fascination and the almost Impossibility of breaking away from It once the habit becomes fixed on the individual. He closed by declaring that the man who gambles cannot be trusted in any capacity whatever. He contended that gambling Is one of the bottom evils of all crimes and the destroyer of character. MORE ENTHUSIASM WANTED. Bishop Thohurn of India Makes Ap peal in Behalf of Missions. "If our people had the enthusiasm of thet baseballlsts or the great manufac turing establishments of this country, we should be able to reach the foreign nations and spread the gospel among them..

"This week," said Bishop Thoburn, "I received a letter from the editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate with a picture of the missionaries taken in London 41 years ago. I recognized my own. face, somewhat faded with the lapse of time, but the picture had been touched up. The request came that I should write some thing for the paper to go with the pic ture. As I was making my notes, I re called that at that time there were but 500 native converts and the field open to missionary work was less In extent than New England, but now we Iiave a field longer than the distance between New York and Honolulu, with a population of hundreds of millions of natives. If our own Methodist Church would awaken, a contribution of 3 cents from each mem ber per week would bring in $3,000,000 per annum for missions."
