During the en gagement only one Loo Loo was able to get hla spikes at third. This was all due to the perfect support which the German received by the locals. Fielding honors were equally distributed among the Dugs, -jvith Raymond doing some pretty work at third. Portland scored a, run In the first inn ing a couple of bingles and a sacrifice did the trick.

Seattle won today's game through luck and poor fielding by Oakland. The full extent of Oakland's rolsplajs in the field do not show on the score. This was the kind of work that discounted Buchanan'e good pitching. Shields sprained his arm in the eighth and gave way to Hughes, who was also Injured by a liner, but finished the game.

Ernest Vogt, Who Was Afraid to Tell Parents of Mortal Wound, Is Burled. The funeral of little Ernest Vogt, who died Tuesday afternoon from the effects of a pistol shot wound, were held yesterday afternoon from the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred erick Vogt, in Montavllla. Rev. Au gust Krause. of St Paul's Lutheran Church, was In charge, and many of the friends of the stricken family were present. As pall-bearers, playmates of the dead boy were selected as follows: John Moore, Clifford Duncan, Paul Frle wald, Erwin Crouch, Otto Miller and Ross Barnes. At the close of the services the play mates of the dead lad bore the cabket containing his body to the hearse, and the interment took placo in Bralnord's cemetery. Surrounding this case thoro will al ways remain An element of mystery y. EIIXKST VOGT, "VICTIM OF and uncertainty. Just how the wound was inflicted which resulted In the death of the little boy may nevor be positively known, now that his lips are sealed in death, and he did riot speak before it was too late. Howover, in the absence of any other plausible explanation, It seems that the little fellow must have accidentally shot him self. The father, Frederick Vogt, is very sure that his son did not phoot himself accidentally, or otherwise, hold ing that it would have been well nlch Impossible for him to have lnfilcted the wound. At tho Vogt premises the home stands in one corner, the .shop in which the accident is supposed to have occurred in an opposite cornor at the back part of the lot A barn stands In another corner. At 3 o'clock In the afternoon of July 4, Mr. Vogt was at work In the barn, which Is about 73 feet from the shop. His other children wero also with him at the time. Ernest went into the shop, where ho remained a few mlnutos. when ho re turned to the barn where his father and other children were at the lime. He remained there half an hour, whim pering and crying, saying that he had fallen and burned himself. Mr. Vogt spoke to him and told nlm to stop crying, not dreamlmr that his little son was then fatally wounded. Hn stopped whimperlnc. when his mother came and took him to tho house, where the slight wound was found on tho abdomen just below the navel. There was a burned spot about the sizo of a quarter of a dollar, but no one dreamed that It was a serious Injury and tho boy even slept a little. Mr. Vogt relteratpd his statement yesterday that the pistol kept In the shop had not been loaded for eight j ears, and said: "I placed it on tho shelf under the eaves of the roof. I don't believe my boy shot himself. 1 believe that it was done by somebody else who had entered the shop for theft A week ago the shop was entered and $4.50 stolen from a box. My theory Is that some one was In the shop when Ernest entered and shot the boy to cover up his deed, or for some pur pose." Mr. Vogt showed some soft tracks In the soft ground leading from the door of the shop to the back part of the lot in support of his contention that soma one was in the shop when the boy en tered. The pistol, which was found on the steps under the place it was laid for so many years, does not indicate whether It had been recently dis charged or not Some who examined It claim that it could not have been dis charged recently without showlncr more of the powder marks In the chamber and barrel. A small boy like Ernest could have reached the pistol only with the great est difficulty. ' A grown man standing on the steps of the stairway would have to reach upward to touch the spot where the pistol was kept Frederick Vogt Jr., a boy of 10 years, positively declares that the pistol was not loaded Sunday. He said he and his other brother examined the pistol then and saw that It was not loaded, and he says they did not load it or use It at any time. G. L. Hibbert, a neighbor, was In tho barn with Mr. Vogt when Ernest re turned. He says he heard a shot a few moments before the boy came, and called Mr. Vogt's attention to tho re port, when the latter remarked casu ally that it must have been the report of a big firecracker somewhere in Montavllla, and gave the matter no attention. "The boy was crying," said Mr. Hib bert, "and his father told him to stop. The boy was in the barn, after ho had been shot for fully half an hour, and appeared to be in some distress. From what I learned and heard of the case I must conclude that the boy shot him self. ChHdren will crawl after things. He climbed the stairway and pulled out the pistol. In doing so he may have accidentally discharged It or he may have discharged It while examining it with the muzzle toward his abdomen. I don't think tie could have been hit by a stray shot from somewhere else." LANDINGS ARE SECURED. J Work on the Inclines on the West and East Side landings for the Sellwoofl free ferry will be begun In a short time. Edward D. Curtis and J. M. NIckum, members of the Sellwood ferry subcommittee, made a discovery yes terday while overhauling the records at the Courthouse which establishes the fact beyond dispute apparently that the county has a road open, from the Whltehouso road down to the Wil lamette River, at the place the com mittee has fixed the West Side land ing. They found even the petition for the opening of the road, and traced the proceedings down to the conclus ion. Mr. Curtis says that he is entirely satisfied that the county owns the road down to the river all right The proceedings seemed perfectly regular and beyond all dispute. It will be nec essary to go to some expense In ex cavating under the Southern Pacific track, but the discovery of the county road down to the landing will save between $1500 and $2000. On the East Side at the foot of Spokane avenue, there Is also clear sailing. U. S. Mar quam, who claims an exclusive ferry franchise, says that he will not Inter fere, but Is willing to give a deed to the East Side ferry-landing if neces sary. He says he has property at Sell wood and In common with others wants to see the ferry In operation as soon as poslble. A surveyor will run the lines on both sides of the rlvor and - A REVOLVER ACCIDENT. work on the inclines will soon be started. The ferry-boat Is completed and Is one of the best crafts of tho sort ever built In Portland. LAW EETE T0M0ER0 W. At W. J. Burns' Residence for Bene fit Seamen's Institute.

TWO STILL IN THE-GAME SALEM AND ALBANY HAVE NOT DISBANDED TEAMS. Hope to Hold Meft, Together and Play a Series, With Occasional Matches With Outsiders. SALEM, Or., July 6. (Special.) While the Oregon State Baseball League has not disbanded, it is certain that no more of the scries of league games will be played. The Eugene team disbanded yesterday and refused to meet Albany. Tonight the Roseburg team announced its decision not to play this week's series In Salem, and the team left for home. The Salem and Albany teams declare their readiness to complete the games ac cording to schedule, and talk of trying to lnforce the $250 bonds given by the Eu gene and Roseburg clubs as security for performance of their part of tho league agreement What will be done is entirely In doubt The directors of the Salem Club held a long meeting tonight and discussed the situation in all its phases. A similar meeting was held at Albany and the man agers held conferences over the Tong dlstance telephone. The principal effort will be to hold the Albany and Salem teams together and arrange a series of games between these two, with what games may be picked up occasionally with other teams. Apparently the teams In the league have not found the games profitable and see nothing encouraging in the future. Peo ple are going off on vacations and attend ance at the games has been diminishing. Expenses have been heavy, although the league was organized upon as conserva tive a basis as seemed possible. President Sroat, of the State League, said tonight that nothing is certain as to the future, but he believes Salem and Al bany can arrange a schedule of two games a week, playing In each town every other week. The teams, under this plan, would be made up chiefly or local play ers. The percentage of tho teams now are: Salem, .675; Eugene,, .537; Albany, 4G7; Roseburg, .375. Drews Throws Strangler Smith. ASTORIA, Or., July 6. (Special.) To night's wrestling match between Drews and Strangler Smith was one of the best exhibitions ever seen on the Coast Drews scored three out of five falls, and won the match. The men are very evenly matched, and the struggle for supremacy was a desperate one. With two falls to the credit of each man, Drews secured a full-Nelson hold and laid Smith on hl3 back. In the first fall, which went to Smith, the referee decided that he was down when hip and shoulder touched the mat, although the men agreed to wrestlo shoulder down. Smith challenged Drews for a second match here and the chal lenge was accepted. Yale-Harvard Team Sails. NEW YORK, July 6. The members of the Yale-Harard team, who will compete with the athletes from Oxford and Cam bridge on track and field, sailed on tr.e steamer Teutonic for Liverpool oday. NOT TOO WARM TO HGHT. Bridal Couple and Sailors 'Get Into Trouble. Contention Is abroad and strife is in the air. Within the space of half an hour yesterday afternoon there were two bat tles royal. Involving a bride and groom, two sailors and a gentleman of leisure. When the British bark Thlstlebank was In port recently, there wa3 trouble among the crew. A burly seaman going by the name of Jaqk Mager, accused a ship mate, Johnnie Wllklns. of carrying tales of certain midnight visits to the larder to the executive officer. Mager and Wll klns argued out the question before the assembled ship's company la a ring of regulation size, and were afterward put on shore and told to stay there. The Thlstlebank sailed to the Sound, and th two salts remained to swell the population of Portland. They met fre quently and finally forgot all differences. Yesterday they met again, at Blazler's resort on Burnslde street. After imbib ing freely they fell to discussing the past The revival caused a resurrection of bit ter feelings, and In a few minutes Mager precipitated a combat In which Wllklns eagerly joined. Both men were forcibly ejected from the place, but they met again on the sidewalk and remained In a clinch until parted by bystanders. Mager rushed for a warrant and Wllklns sprint ed for tihe depot with the Intention of going to Seattle and joining a ship. He succeeded In getting away. While the sailors wen tussling on Burnslde street, there was a case of hard luck at the City Plaza near the fountain. Harrison Wells arrived from Eastern Oregon yesterday morning with his bride. Yesterday afternoon they began taking in the sights, and In the course of their wan derings arrived at the Plaza, where they determined to spend an hour billing arid cooing In the shade. As all available shade was occupied by other seekers after comfort they made up their minds to sit In the sun. Near them sat Edward Adams, a young man of 24 years. Adams left his shady nook for a drink, and when he returned he found It occupied by the bride and groom. Adams Insisted upon having the shade patch returned to him and the groom announced that he had a check for the seat The controversy resulted In a battle whlhc ended by the march of Adams and the bridal party to the police station, where the groom announced that he was also the "best man." Which shows that the course of true love hits the high places even in Portland. NO LECTURE TONIGHT. James A. Emery to Address Citizens' Alliance Tomorrow. Hon. James A.
