They came from, behind yesterday aft ernoon, did those Tacoma Tigers, out gamed Ely's Clerks In the last furlong of a ten-Inning affair and finished, going away with the score 9 to 7 in their favor. Thomas, Just to give the local fans a thrill, permitted the Clerks to locate his offering In the second inning for two doubles, a triple and a single, and with an error at first and a pass to first we started the matlneo five to the good. This was enough runs to have won two games for an ordinary team, but Portland would have needed a handicap of ten to have won. Toung Druhot blew up early in the game, and in the third Inning he was touched up for a single and a double, gave a pass to first, wag guilty of a miscue, and all this, coupled with an error by Francis, allowed the Tigers to pet back three of the runs. The little Southpaw lasted until half of the fifth Inning wa3 over. Ely waved him to the bench and Jake Thlelman, who had been warming up, bowed to the ladies and got out of the mess without Injury. But Jake's hour of slaughter was coming. In the eighth inning the German walked Thomas. Casey forced him at second. Then Hannlvan singled, so did Nordyke, and then Truck Eagan, the red-necked one, who Is forever winning games for Tacoma when they are most needed, slammed out a ripping two-bagger, which cleaned the bases. Tacoma made a determined effort to tie the score right here, but a fast play from Castro to Francis killed off Eagan. Steel man nailed Lynch as ho was trying to steal second, and for a short time it looked as if Portland might escape the short end of the purse. McLaughlin singled and reached second, when Mc Creedle, attempting to field the blngle, sprained his ankle, and he got an extra base. Castro worked that moth-eaten old trick of "hide the ball," and as Mc Laughlin stepped from the bag the South American jammed the ball into his middle structure and called Umpire O'Connell's attention to the play. It was a desperate try on Castro's part to kill off Tacoma's chances of tying the score, but it counted for nothing. Graham blnged out a single. went to second on Hogan's out and to third on Steeiman's passed ball. Thomas practically won his own game by driving in the tying score with a single. Portland had a chance in their half of the ninth. Spencer walked and Nadeau put him at second with a sacrifice; the next two were out without a struggle. Not so with the Tigers In the tenth, beck's failure to murder Hannlvan start ed the fireworks. Thlelman fanned Nor dyke. Then, again, came the mighty Eagan. Did he kill the ball? He did kill the ball! Was It good for three bags? It was good for three bags! Did It roll to the score-board? It did roll to the score-board! Did it bring in the winning run? It did bring in the winning run! Tes, it was a most marvelous swat Before Kerby Drennan got It the ball fell within a foot of the big score-board. Then came three singles by Lynch, McLaughlin and Graham. Eagan scored on the first one. Castro and Francis headed off any further scores with a double. Viewing the pnme critically neither side should have won. for there was more lax baseball dumped into the engagement than would be necessary to toss off a dozen games. Tnen. again, there were moments of very brilliant baseball. Both teams broke even on double plays, but that double play which chased the Clerks to the club-house in the last chapter was a corker.. Casey played Steeiman's sla&hlng bounder perfectly. A second's delay would have messed the double, but Casey never faltered. He shot the ball to Eagan and Eagan to JJordyke, and the 1 lay was so fast that It made one blink. Talk as you please", when Sheehan is play ing his game at third Tacoma has the lastcst Infield in the league. The score: PORTLAND. AB. R. H. S.H. P.O. A. B. Drennan, cf.

Mique Fisher is authority for the state ment that Charlie Doyle, Fisher's 1903 centerflelder, who Mique declares held him up for 5200 when the baseball war was waxing merry, has wired Fisher that he will report at Tacoma. Doyle tried to duck the ex-policeman, but he was award ed to Fisher by the National committee. Rather than return to Fisher, Doyle took the high jumps and landed in Montreal. Fisher had him benched for a long time, but of late Doyle has been playing and has been leading off In the batting. His sud den determination to rejoin Fisher after trying repeatedly to buy his release will surprise his friends. Doyle offered Mique $100 for his release, but the "Spendthrift Kid" said nay. Doyle's last offer was $150, but this also was refused. California Amateur Shows Up. Third-Baseman Cartwright, the Califor nia amateur Imported by Ely, -was at the T grounds yesterday afternoon. The new infielder did not don a uniform or do any work beyond tossing the ball about near the grandstand. Cartwright, from a brief glance at him, does not look like a won der, but he may show up better once he gets on the field. It Is understood that Francis will be benched while the ama teur is tried oat. Salem 7, Vancouver 3. SALEM, Or.. May 12.

Annual Handicap for Multnomah Club Players Will Begin Soon The annual handicap tennis tournament for members of the Multnomah Club will begin May '23. Its duration will depend upon the number of entries. As there are a great many younger members playing every day, the entry list is likely to be large. The prize offered the winner of this tournament is a cup presented by J. Wes ley Ladd to become the property of the player winning it three times. J. F. Ewing won it in 1902, Brant Wlckersham. won it last year. As it is a handicap affair there is no telling what may happen this year. All entries must be in by May 21 in order to give the handicap committee time to do its work. An important event took place in the. tennis world last night when the tennis committee of the club, having agreed upon the constitution and by-laws suggested for the North Pacific International Lawn Ten nis Association organized ten days ago in Tacoma, submitted the matter to the board of directors, which immediately rat ified It This action was so quickly done that the new organization is shown to be a good thing and the tennis clubs of all the other cities concerned are certain to do likewise. These are Tacoma and Seattle, and Victoria and Vancouver, B. C. H. H. HERDMAN RESIGNS. J. F. Ewing Is Appointed Chairman of Grounds Committee. James F. Ewing, thej tennis player, was appointed chairman of the grounds com mittee of the Multnomah Club last night, upon the resignation of Hugh H. Herd man. Mr. Herdman was an official who fulfilled ''the duties of his office so com pletely that when he was forced to resign on account of expected absence, it was hard work to find a successor, but Mr. Ewlng's name being suggested, he was appointed to fill the position at the time of year when the grounds are the most used part of the club. Mr. Herdman is going to Mcdora, N. D., to spend a seven weeks' outing. OREGON STATE LEAGUE. Roseburg 5, Eugene 3. ROSEBURG. Or., May 12. (Special.)

TWO TICKETS IN HELD. Candidates for Municipal Offices Are Plentiful in Gresham. GRESHAM. Or.. May 12. (Special.) Two tickets are now In the field for the offices to be elected on May 2S, but some of the candidates are sure to be elected, because of having been Indorsed by both factions. At Monday night's meeting, called by the promoters of the proposed city government, there was a good rep resentation of the opposition present at the appointed hour and they proceeded to organize, elect a chairman and adjourn until Wednesday evening. All this was done in just 30 seconds but In a minute more the leaders of the municipal move ment, 11 in number, came into the hall and then the storm of wrath and recrim inations broke loose. B. S. Johnson was chairman of the first meeting, and he left the hall forthwith, followed by a few, but the majority of the original crowd, and all the new arrivals held a caucus and a row was only averted by Fred G. Conley again, calling the meeting to order and explaining Its purpose. This time the chairman was Hon. George W. Kenney, and he put things through as nearly according to programme as the city sponsors had ordained. The ticket pub lished yesterday morning In The Orego nlan was the result but it failed to satisfy those "ag'in the government," and they met again yesterday evening and put up the following-named gentlemen as their candidates: Mayor W. H. Hamilton. Recorder H. L. St. Clair. Treasurer J. C. Hester. Marshal B. W. Emery. Councilmen T. R. Howitt, George W. Kenney, E. C Lindsey. Charles Merrill, Sr., John Conley, John N. Clanahan. Of these gentlemen the following are on both tickets, with W. H. Hamilton named for Mayor on the second ticket and Treas urer on the first. The others are: H. L. St. Clair, B. W. Emerj T. R. Howitt and John Conley. The first ticket is a popular one and the candidates were named by a majority of the legal voters of the place. The sec ond ticket is composed of good men, also, but the first three are ardent prohibition ists and the fight is going to be conducted MT .1 Phone Exchange 40 on the saloon Issue. Mr. St. Clair, nomi nee for Recorder on both tickets, Is a Methodist minister, and there is likely to be .some opposition to him in the way of an Independent nominee, although the time Is very short for filing nominations with the County Clerk. It is said that Ford Metzger, proprietor of the only saloon, has agreed to pay a license of $600 yearly, provided there Is no other saloon In the place, but It remains to be seen whether the elected Council wljl give him that privilege. From the person nel of the two tickets it is probable that the saloon element will favor the ticket nominated on Monday night. ACRES OF EffiE. (Continued from Page One.) be accomplished to limit the loss. The fire hydrants had very little pressure, while there were only two available cis terns, and the four engines were com pelled to double on those. The engines could not have been run out on tho docks and the water taken from the river, as the flames leaped 100 feet at a Jump, and before water could have been reached the equipment would have had to retire to keep from being surrounded by the flames. Dynamite might have been used to ad vantage to check the course of the fire, several wooden buildings that, were lost by the fire serving only as a means of spreading the fire from one mill to an other. The new fireboat could Tiave done more to quench the flames than all the other fire fighting equipment in the city, as the riverside was the only practicable point from which to fight the flames, and this was impossible for land equipment The fireboat has already been tested by the Willamette Iron Works, but has not yet been turned over to the city. Horses All Saved. The horses belonging to the dif ferent mills were taken to places of safety shortly after the fire started and none of them wero lost In the fire. Bystanders helped to remove several wagon loads of trunks from the fac tory of the Multnomah Trunk & Box Company, but most of the people re siding near the mills left everything inside their houses, as the wind was blowing the fire up and out Into the river. The carriage of C L. Schmidt was struck by Truck 2 at Macadam and Thomas streets and badly smashed. Mr. Schmidt was thrown from the car riage, but was not hurt. Cars Bring Sightseers. Fully 3000 people "witnessed the fire. The GIty & Suburban Company's South Portland cars pass within a few blocks of the scene of the conflagration, and all tha late cars were crowded to the doors with sightseers. The roaring of tho flames could be heard for blocks, and people residing in that part of the city rushed out on tho streets, clothed In whatever garment was handiest Several hundred people witnessed the fire from Macadam street, but the heat became so Intense that they wero forced to climb the hills and get further away. An assortment of doors and sashes worth $15,000 was in the factory of the Day Lumber Company. This was saved by being beyond the westward line of the fire zone. Rhodope and Cinderella. San Francisco Call. Let us not deceive ourselves. The Hearst boom Is booming. When Rhodope took a dip in the Nile and left her togs on the bank an eagle swiped one of her shoes and, flying away, dropped it before the King of Egypt. The King picked it up and declared that the lady whose foot fitted It should be his tootsy-wootsy and his Queen. He went forth, shoe in hand, and when he found her Rhodope got her shoe back and also a new Easter crown. Just now the American eagle Is flying around with Lincoln's boots to find the man who fits them. Mr. Hearst has an nounced that he is the man, and exhibits his feet to prove it. Does anyone suppose that such a mixture of Rhodope and Cin derella In politics can be beaten? May the thought go away and die of stomach trouble. Cord Meyer. New York Evening Post. Cord Meyer's accession to the chair manship of the State Democratic Commit tee seems to be a sort of notification that Hill Is nqt to dominate Judge Parker, nor even the management of the party In this state. Mr. Meyer is so distinctly not a Hill man that it is impossible to conceive of him as ever being a Hill man. He is simply not In that class. His acceptance of the chairmanship is a guaranty that, in New York at least, the Democratic campaign will not be knee-deep in pea nut shells. Hope for Bryan. Des Moines Register. Mr. Bryan is In his prime. He has planned to participate actively in ten Presidential campaigns. The whole fu ture Is before him.
