Portland
Los Angeles took Portland down the
line for another defeat in the sweaty
matinee at the Vaughn-street grounds
yesterday afternoon. The score was 4
. to 2. but might nave oeen i
Portland's favor had luck and good
ninvinor favored our side.
The errors contributed by McCredie's
men were Inconsequential as far as the
visitors' rungettlng was concerned, for
the Angels' tallies were accumulated,
with one exception, on lucky hits; hits
that under ordinary circumstances
would not have benefited the batter in
the least.
Los Angeles Inaugurated the scoring
In th second inning. Nagle, first up,
placed a fly in Bassey's hands, and fol
lowed the proceeding by joining the
silent ones on the bench. Dillon con
nected for a low drive which landed
just out of reach of the inflelders and
hurtled past Lovett and Bassey, and
. when they had retrieved it the Loo Loo
captain was knocking at the door.
Delmas beat out a dinky hit which was
elowly fielded, and Dillon scored.
Bobby Eager followed Delmas' example,
and while the home, team was trying to
realize that the chubby catcher had
actually beaten the hit out, Delmas
ambled all the way to third. Wltn
the Portland team practically up in
the air, Delmas and Eager pulled off a
double steal on which the shortstop
registered and the catcher took second.
Two runs proved all they could ac
cumulate In 'that inning, for Burns
struck out and Bernard filed to Ather
ton. The ringing of the bell caused the
utmost Joy to an Inebriated individual
who rooted strenuously for the visiting
team throughout the game. His ex
uberance was not so demonstrative in
Portland's half of the inning, because
the Angel lead of two was reduced to
one run. Manager McCredle walked.
Bassey hit one at Delmas, which the
shortstop thought easy for a double
play, but in his haste to clutch the ball,
missed it entirely and both runners
were safe. Donohue forced Bassey at
second, which sent McCredle to third,
and when Joe Fay planted a neat single
In centerfield. Mac trotted over the reg
ister. Hartman fanned and Donohue
was doubled at third, which ended the
rungettlng for that period.
.McCredle opened up Portland's half
of the fourth inning by connecting for
three bases, but was left because Bas
sey, Donohue and Fay failed to get the
ball out of the infield.
The home team tied the score In the
sixth, however. Casey started out by
beating a bunt to first. Atherton
sacrificed and Casey took second. Mc
iCredle filed to Carlisle but "Stub"
Bassey proved the real article by
Ihitting a clean single to centerfield.
On the sound of the hit f q o..- ,ns

ing all the way from second even

with his shoulder and was given a
'life at first. Brashear placed a neat
sacrifice and Carlisle took second. Jud

the ball and threw to Atherton, retiring

Edward E. Morgan, football player,
baseball plaj'er and all-around ath
lete of the Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic Club, Is entitled to the palm as
the most secretive man among the lo
cal clubmen when the matter of anti
cipating the matrimonial leap is con
cerned. Tuesday night he was chosen
as chairman of the outdoor athletic
committee of the club and Is thereby a
member of the board of directors, and
was selected to succeed Herbert W.
Kerrigan, who recently resigned in
order to take an extended trip for the
benefit of his health. While receiving
the congratulation of his many friends

ing with Morrle Dunne and Superin
tendent Woodward as cheerfully as
though he actually meant to keep the
engagement. .
Imagine the surprise of the entire
club contingent when it was learned
last night . that Morgan was married
to Miss Martha C. Davidson, of New
York city, and had departed on his
honeymoon on the afternoon train.
The wedding ceremony which united
the crack Multnomah Club athlete and
the beautiful New York girl was quiet
ly celebrated In this city yesterday
and Bishop David H. Moore officiated,
only the immediate relatives of the
contracting parties being present. The
romance which culminated in the quiet
little ceremony yesterday began when
the groom was acting as agent for a
New York concern and had occasion to
visit the headquarters of his employers.
Edward E. Morgan, the new director
of outdoor sports of the Multnomah
Club, has been an active . member or
th. organization since 1896, in which
year he joined the club and started on
his athletic career.
During his activity on track and
field Morgan won many events and still
retains his tropnies ana some of his
records still stand. The marks set by
Morrnn are as follows: izo yards, hur

pionship. In 1898 he won the all

Coa.iJ. He was the champion track
athlete of the Pacific Coast and Paciflc

In 1897 and 1898, while attending
Stanford University, Morgan won many
trophies on track and field and Is the
proud possessor of the Shreve diamond
medal which he captured while at the
Palo Alto Institution.
The succession of Morgan to the po

of H. W. Kerrigan insures the club of
a continued Interest in outdoor sports,

his power to further the Interests of

WATER SUPPLY SUFFICIENT
CONSUMERS HAVE FEW COM
PLiAIXTS TO MAKE.
Service Much Better Than Last
Summer Officials Give Credit
to Meters.
With the Summer more than half gone,
Portland's water system Is giving satis
faction. . Only a few complaints have
reached the water office of an Inadequate
supply and the only dissatisfied patrons
are found to be residents in the outlying
districts, where it Is considered surpris
ing that the one and two-Inch pipes are
so nearly meeting the requirements, un
less there comes a protracted period of
excessively warm weather It Is believed
there will be an abundance of water for
all consumers.
Last year the water office was flooded
with complaints from practically every
section of the city. In a great many lo
calities residents were unable to get
water at times either for domestic use or
for irrigating. But this year such com
plaints are rare. This condition Is be
lieved to be due largely to the fact that
since last Summer nearly 6000 water
meters have been Installed and consumers
have been required to pay for the amount
of water actually used. The effect has
been to stop the waste of water with the
result that there has been more water
for those who had need for it.
The principal complaint this season
comes from the residents of Mount Tabor.
whe.re the small pipes do not carry enough
water to serve all of the consumers. Mem
bers of the Water Board are Impatiently
waiting until the legality of the boids
voted in the last , city election can be
established in the courts. If the election
by which these bonds were authorized is
held to have been legal the Board will
be able to dispose of bonds to the amount
of Jl.000,000. with the proceeds of which an
additional pipeline is to be constructed
from Bull Run to this city and new mains
will be laid throughout the city. The
members of this Board are specially de
sirous to proceed with laying these needed
mains as soon as the funds can be made
available.
Until new and larger pipes are laid to
meet the demand for city water the pos
sibility of a water famine becomes the
greater as the city grows and the num
ber of patrons of this service Increases.
Unless the additional Jl.000,000 becomes
available for enlarging the municipal
water system, the Water Board will be
forced to adopt a niggardly policy in ex
pending the meager balance of the fund
that was appropriated for maintaining
this department during the remainder of
the year.
In that event action on innumerable pe
titions for extending mains and for lay
ing larger pipes will have to be deferred,
as there will be sufTlclnet funds for ths
most urgent Improvements only.
