The score was Tacoma 4, Portland 0. Mike also had his horseshoes In evi dence, for it was Just his luck to butt Into Teddy Corbett when the crack local twlrler was to receive the most weird sort of support In winning the first. Any bush league team In the country could have dished out a better brand of baseball than did Portland In that disastrous initial chapter. Bull Perrlne also caused the fans some uneasiness. for he was without an assistant yes terday. Pete Lohman having returned to his home In Oakland, and the un fortunate official made a couple or more decisions thnt were somewhat awry, but ven at that the locals could not bunch hits when they were needed, and were closed out with nine horse collars as their portion of the score. Jakey Atz. Walter McCredle and Harry Schlafly were the only members of the local slugging brigade to con nect safely with Fits' offerings, this trio securing all of Portland's six hits between them. The first Inning marked disaster for the home team. Charlie Doyle was passed to first: Sheehan sacrificed; Nor dyke's out advanced Doyle to third, whereupon Truck Eagan laced out to left, bringing In one tally. Georgle McLaughlin bunted toward third and the locals failed to get him at first. f j THE FOURTH IS HERE AT LAST I . . ! . 721 I ; i n 1. . I and allowed Truck Eagan to meander all the way to third on this play. Eu gene and George then showed thft spectators how easy it was to make a double steal, Eagun scoring because 8chlafly threw badly to the plateand McLaughlin landed on third. Mike j Lyr.ch was hit by a pltchcJ ball, and J then started for second, Corbett throw- I ing badly to Atz and aict-augnnn raceu nome. McCredle maae a neat eaten oi I Casey's long fly or the Tigers might nave been scoring yet. Sheehan led off In the third with a hit. and- was sacrificed to second by Nordyke. and scored on Eagan's long drive against the right field fence. Cor bett rose to the occasion at this stage and fanned both McLaughlin and Lych, and held the visitors safe during the reat of the game. Fltz' pitching was too much for the locals when up against a handicap of four runs, ind although they secured six hits, two of which were doubles, they were unable to get a man around the circuit. The best chance Portland had to score was in the fourth, when Jakey Atz reached third via his double and a passeJ ball, with no one out. but Mc Credle, Mitchell and Schlafly were un able to score him and he was left. Two game will be played today, the first at 10:30 A. M-. when Cates will be pitted against Brown, and the second at 2:30 P. M., when the opposing pitch ers will be Bill Esoick for Portland and Bill Thomas for Tacoma. Virgil Garvin, the lanky Texan, left yesterday for a week at the springs. where he expects to get into shape to join the team when it returns from the J Sound.

SAILS BACK 'A CRIPPLE Rough AVeather at Treacherous Point Has Probably Delayed All Portland-Bound Shipping, ns None Have Reported. Cape Horn gales are evidently lying low and blowing high for Portland bound vessels, for the British ship Falls of Dee, Captain Doty, has put back into Montevideo, with some of her spars gone, with much of her rigging Hanging in snreds. and a part of her cargo badly damaged. The first information was received here yesterday by Meyer. Wilson & Co., consignees of the ship. Later the Mer chants Exchange received a message, which gave further particulars. As the talis of Dee has been out iSJ days from Hamburg, It is evident that she was in the Cape Horn storm area at the time. For the past two weeks she has probably been limping back to the nearest port. Cement forms the greater portion of the cargo of the Falls of 'Dee. Salt water' In quantities would play havoc with it- The vessel Is well-known on this coast, but has not been in this port for some years. She registers 1845 tons. The German ship Oregon, when jhe arrives at San Francisco, and later at Portland, will be able to tell something of Cape Horn weather. She has been on the way to the Pacific Coast ever since November, and late in April, when she was due at San Francisco, put Into Valparlso for repairs. None of the Portland-bound fleet has been spoken on the West Side yet. and it Is probable the grain ships will be late in arriving. The Bardowie and the Arthur FItger sailed from Hamburg early In February, and should soon be heard from. LIGHTSHIP AT BLUNTS REEF No. 83 Established June 28, and Whistling Buoy Discontinued.

The lights will be 50 feet above the water. and should be visible twelve and one half miles In clear weather, the observ er's eye la feet above the sea. During thick or foggy weather the ves sel will sound a 12-lnch steam chime whistle, giving blasts of 12 seconds' dura tion, separated by silent Intervals of 4S seconds. Light Vessel No. S3 is a flush-deck steam vessel, has two masts, schooner rigged, no bowsprit and a circular, red. hooplron. casework daymark at each masthead.
