' .-Til Oakland 19 30 .345 One thing Is sure, those Portland, base halllsts are not cut out for army society. From Manager McCredle down they might have had some grand and noble notions about liking a soldier's society, but since meeting and conferring with Heavy Artillerist - Myers, who was the chief gunner at yesterday's local runless session, they, meaning the McCredle climbers, woke up to And "that the hereditary appurtenances thereunto ap pertaining were previous property of some one else." So this being the case, a slender young man, wearing Uncle Sam's blue, draw ing $15 a month for using the Index fin ger of his right stem to yank the lan yard and gathering In a stipend from Parke Wilson, using the nforesald stem to heave twisters down the groove, and ordering the ground-keeper to bring from hiding the whitewash and brush off the cobwebs which had gathered since "last used." Citizen Garvin seemed to have lost his curves. The rest of the players lost or left at home the route around the bases for Moore was the only local to reach third. Being presented with nine big horse col lars was only a little of the afternoon's diversion. Some one wrote something one time about the fellow who out-Heroded Herod. McCredle must have slept with the quotation pinned to the wishbone part of his night gown. Twice during the horse collar parade Manager Mc juggled the ball long enough to have an active hand in presenting the Seals with their four runs. Bill Sweeney took a hand In the Herod business also and Bill's chuck to third was a triple "X" beauty. Lucky there weren't 10.000.000,000 Seals on the bases at the time, for the heave went visiting Into the grandstand and bumped Into Bill Pangle and stayed to discuss the relative merits of theater and beef trusts. Easy Victim for Seals. Citizen Garvin fell an easy victim to the Seals In the second Inning. Hilde brand and Irwin both singled. Williams was morgued. Sears poked out a single that hit McCredle on the funny bone and then took an exploration expedition around his face. Manager Mc finally clutched the ball and chucked it to Sweeney and Bill heaved It Into the grandstand. Two runs. Wilson and My ers hit safe In the fifth. Spencer ad vanced them two numbers on a sacrifice. Wheeler hit to Manager Mc and again the juggling scene took place. Wilson scored on the poke and Soldier Myers came home while the local manager was finding the ball. This made It 4 to 0. While this was going on the locals kept Jolting the ball, but they always found afe lodgment In the waiting flippers of the Seals. Five stingy binglets was all Portland could do with the soldier slab ster. Nine was what they foil upon Citl ren Garvin for. The Score in Detail. Here's the score: PORTLAND.

JIM M'DOXALD IS OUT. Hoddy Hodson Appointed as Umpire , In His Place. Poor old Jim McDonald. He belongs to the Down and Out Club now. McDonald was one of the best-known umpires, ball players and general all-around good fel lows on the Coast. For three seasons past he has officiated as an indicator knight, and during the first season he gave great satisfaction. Sickness took hold of the old warhorse and for two years he has been trying to keep up with the umpiring game, and because he was liked both managers and players stood for a lot of McDonald's rough work. Last year he had to give up, and for a time it was be lieved that he would die. A long rest and sojourn at Los Angeles apparently brought back a flicker of health, and when the season of 1906 opened Jim Mc Donald's name was sent out by President Bert as one of the umpires. McDonald has not been seen in the north this season, but from reports of his work it has been very bad. The other day Judge McCredle received a letter from Cal Ewing. asking for the removal of McDonald and the appointment of Hoddy Hodson. Acting as president in the ab sence of President Bert, Judge McCredle consented to the appointment of Hodson. Hodson is well known to the Coast League fans. He was a member of the San Fran cisco team when Uncle Hank Harris was i I - f I . .- " - t 1 f .J -jii, - COLEMAN, WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY PLAYEK, WHO HAS DONNED A PORTLAND UNIFORM. at the helm, and was a pretty fair twirl er until the league got too fast for him. What sort of an umpire he will make re mains to be seen. One ining is sure, he will not have to be anything great to have It on Phil Knell and "Bull" Perrine. Knell's work of the past two days has had yellow trimmings and yesterday he called balls twice when the ball was swished at by the batter. He wants to go. He should be "allowed to do so.

Roy Elliott, captain of the University of California football team, resigned today because President Wheeler has insisted that the Rugby game be played. NEW YORK, June 21. Alexander Shield's five-year-old Medler-Indlgo geld ing Go Between, carrying 116 pounds and third choice at 6 to 1, won the $20,000 Suburban Handicap today. Go Between was but a short head in front of F. R. Hitchcock's four-year-old Hamburg colt. Dandelion. Colonial Girl was third, three lengths behind the first two horses and the same distance In front of the field. The finish was a terrific drive, Go Be tween catching Dandelion at the six teenth and fighting it out head and head to the wive. Shaw, on the winner, out rode Miller. As the two leaders rushed past the stand the 30,000 or more enthusi astic spectators rose to their feet and wildly shouted encouragement. Splendid Race Throughout. There was a delay of 10 minutes at the post. Cederstrom and Astronomer rushed away into the lead, with Dandelion third. Around the paddock turn and into the back stretch Cederstrom opened up a gap of three lengths. Go Between was in the bunch and Colonial Girl was trailing In the ruck. Coming out of the back stretch. Cederstrom had begun to tire and the entire field closed up, so that seven or eight lengths covered the distance from leader to last horse. Sweeping Into the stretch. Dandelion was leading by a length. Cederstrom was falling back, but Cairngorm, Dolly Spank er and To Kalon. were to be reckoned with. And behind these was Go Between with Shaw Bitting still in the saddle. The gelding's Btretch running qualities are well known. Once the horses had straight ened, Shaw let his mount have his head. In a few jumps Go Between had passed all but the flying Dandelion and, run ning straight and true, was going away at the end. The time was 2:05 1-5, the record, 2:05, being made by Hermis In 1904. Dandelion's Bad Luck. Dandelion has been an unfortunate horse this year. He was beaten but a length in the Metropolitan Handicap, a neck In the Brooklyn Handicap and a head in the Suburban.
