McCredie's Giant? took the opening
game from the Seals In almost tho Identi
cal manner In which they won Sunday's
game from the Angels. It was another
grand battle between two crack twlrlers
and necessitated one extra Inning for
the locals to acquire the one and lonely
ace that won the matinee, whereas the
Sunday contest went four extra sessions
before the deciding tally was rung up.
Lou Hoffman was again the hero who
delivered the winning wat. and strangely
enough, It was Schlafly who was on
second baa? awaiting a clout that would
register the run, and he scored on Hoff
man's drive to Gochnauer. In the Sun
day contest it was an error by Flood
on a poko by Catcs who succeeded Schlafly
that started the trouble, and yestorday It
was George "Wheeler who was playing the
same position as did the Lxj Angeles
man. who contributed the error that
aided materially In the scoring tally.
Only Chance Through Miscue.
Soon after the start of the proceedings
It became evident that the only chanco
of a score would come through a miscue,
for the two pitchers were In grand form
and the batsmen were mowed down In
almost regular order. Marse Garvin was
flinging them for the home contingent
and Nick Williams delivered the slants
for the visitors, and both apparently had
everything in the category of pitching
art, and the manner In which they kept
both sides guessing was excellent.
This Is the first visit of the San Fran
cisco team to this city this season, and
the fans were impressed with their ap
pearance, for Uncle Henry surely has a
team that will be a formidable contonder
for the honors. Getting back to the
work of the pitchers. It was truly a
battle between a couple of the very best
slab-artists in the lea&uc, for when two
men pitch in the manner of the twlrlers
who battled for supremacy in yesterday's
contest they earn the honor of being
classed among the best In the country.
Garvin held the visitors down to five
hits, -three of which were of the very
scratchy variety, while his opponent, the
Seal blond-hood, was only connected with
.safely on three occasions, and the last
one was a scratch.
Call for Hoffman.
As Inning after inning went by without
either side getting a man over the plate
the fans began to look forward to a
repetition of the last game, and In the
tenth when, with Schlafly on second base
as the result of his hit and daring steal,
and Williams had deliberately passed Mc
Lean, they shouted for Hoffman to de
liver another swat as in Sunday's game.
Kick and his side-arm cross-fire started
working on the little thlrd-sacker, and
after a couple of balls had been delivered,
the little fellow drove one to deep short,
which was fielded by Gochnauer, who
threw to Wheeler, at socond to catch Mc
Lean, but the big fellow was there first,
and In addition to this Wheeler dropped
the ball, and Schlafly, who was rounding
third, dashed for the plate and registered
amid the shouts of the 2000 fans who wit
nessed the superb contest. It was a
great game, and baseball ofthe caliber
of yesterday and the past week, will
prove that Portland is the best town In
the league for a .winner, as it has been in
the past with a loser.
Ell Cates will pitch for the home guard
today, while his opponent will be Jimmy
Whalen or Roy Hltt, the latter being
Hams' latest -product of the brushes,
and Is a southpaw of considerable prom
ise. The score follows:

Those Who Can Will Ship Their Sta

the November Meet Oth
ers Xot So-Fortunate.
In all tho history of racing In the North
west nevor have racing man received a
blow that has affected them more than
the decision which Judge Frazcr handed
down yesterday. Owners and trainers,
who have lived In hopos that he would
dissolve the Injunction, are now facing
the crisis of their llvec, many of them
are without food for themselves and for
their horses. How they will get out of
Portland and take their horsos out of the
city is Just now a very sr!ous propo
sition with them. In addition to the
woe Incident to the constant dolay in
finally settling the case Is the fact that
the woman who was running the race
track boarding-house, last, night served
notice that she would not furnish any
more moals
Petition Is Prcpnrcd.
A petition was got up by several per
sons who have the Interest of the horse
men at heart, praying that Captain E.
W. Spencer and Mrs. Ryan agree to dis
continue their legal proceedings against
the race meeting and give them a chance
to race and thereby get sufficient money
with which to ship their horses out of
tho state and Into California. Whether
this petition will amount to anything
depends upon future developments. Somo
of the more fortu.tate horsemen, and
they arc few, are making preparations
to ship their horse to California. The
handful that can do this are few In com
parison to thoso who are without means.
Thoroughbreds Arc Sold.
Thanks to the desire for thoroughbreds
that the Portland Hunt Club has created,
a few of the owners at the track have
been able to sell at a small price some
of their horses. Pete Romlch sold J. H.
Bennett to a local attorney for $300 and
he got a, horse- that, under ordinary cir
cumstances, could not have been bought
tor $1000.' Tobe Ramsay sold Past Master
for a song, and' the man who bought Tom
Fox simply named his own price. Sev
eral other horse? were sold by men who
simply had to Mil them In order to get
money enough to pay board bills..
Most of the horsemen, whose fitablcs
are at Irvlngton track, will have to ship
their stables to California and wait there
until the race meeting opens In November.
Racing Socretary- Root Leighton yester
day wired to the racing officials of both
Spokane and Walla Walla and requested
them to extend the date of their closing
entries for their ntakc events. This
request was readily granted. Spokane has
extended the time to August 31. and Walla
Walla until August 22. Even this exten
sion of time will not help the majority
of the racemcn here, for they have no
money with which to make nominations
to the stake events in these two place?,
or to ship their horses to those two meet
ings. L
ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING IS
HELD BY MEMBERS
Drive to Clarcmont Tavern Over
Xew Oiled Road Provided
by CI tib Members.
The Portland Automobile Club held an
enthusiastic meeting at the Clarcmont
Tavern on the Llnnton Road last even
ing which was very well attended. Dur
ing the meeting the subject of good roads
was discussed at fome length by the
members the principal theme being tho
present undertaking of the club, the com
pletion of the boulevard to Claremont
Tavern. This road was undertaken by
the club some few months ago and Is
now completed with the exception of
about three-quarters of a mile, and the
club voted last evening to have this sec
tion finished at once. All the members
of the club expressed their satisfaction
at the amount of work done In the efforts
toward promoting good roads In Multno
mah County, for the progress made In
the good roads movement In this county
means the continuance of the same pol
icy In adjoining counties, all of which will
be a material benefit to the auto enthu
siasts. R. H. Pease, of the San Francisco Au
tomobile Club, was present at the meet
ing and addressed the members on the
subject of good roads. His remarks were:
"In California the counties take care of
all our roads and I am surprised to find
It necessary -here In Oregon that clubs
Interested In ths. promotion of good thor
oughfares have "to furnish the funds with
which to construct them. I must com
pliment the Portland club on Its energy
In doing as well as It has under such
adverse conditions. I sincerely hope that
this city will shortly have several oiled
thoroughfares extending Into the rural
district-; for the use of auto and driving
parties."
The club passed a resolution that will
require a regular meeting of the asso
ciation every month, which will be desig
nated for a certain date. At the con
clusion of the meeting those present were
the guests of President Blumauer at an
elaborate luncheon and smokor.

WASTEFULNESS OF THE WEST
Ex-Mayor of London Comments on

Henry E. Knight. Lord Mayor of London
In 1SS1 and president at the time, of a
London Insurance company which was
hard hit by the Seattle fire of 1SS Is In
Seattle on his way to Yellowstone Park,
San Francisco and Los Angeles. Of na
tional affairs and his trip, the baronet
said:
"England sympathizes with Japan In
her war with Russia. We are back of
President Roosevelt In his stand for
peace and on Oriental questions. He Is
a grand man ami America Is fortunate
to have such a person as President. The
United States can control the peace of
the world.
"We used to be free traders In England
and If the free trade doctrine could be
established throughout the world It would
be a grand thing, but we will have to
correct some of ou errors of the past
40. years. I believe In Joe Chamberlain. I
think he Is taking Gladstone's place as
a statesman, though of course not as
strong a political figure as was Glad
stone. ' "I came West over the Canadian Pa
cific, but go East through the states. You
have enough unoccupied land here in the
West to find homes for the world, but
you are so wasteful with everything!
Really, the wastefulness of the West and
the extravagance In tho use of territory
surprises one."
