PLAY DIRTY BALL
Angels Win Through Cravath
by Score of 4 to 3.
BEAVERS MAD AS HORNETS
JlcCredle Has Difficulty In Persuad
ing His Men to Finish the
Game Umpire Does
Xot See the Play.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., Aug. 25. (Spe
cial.) The struggle today at Ball Park
between Los Angeles and Portland
furnished some big league baseball
for 4000 fans present. Cavath, right
fielder of the local team, who has been
sold to the Boston-Americans for J2000,
gave an exhibition of dirty ball and
helped the locals win a game that they
had apparently lost by a score of 3
to 1. The incident threw Portland
players high in the air, and almost the
entire bunch declared that McCredle
and everyone else could go to a famous
Summer and Winter resort with their
old bal. game anyway. McCredle had to
use all his coaxing to get his men to
finish the game.
The trouble came in the last of the
eighth inning, with the score 2 to 1
against Los Angeles. There were two
out when Cravath came to bat and he
drew a base on balls. Brashear came
next and slapped the ball to left field
for a double. The ball, according to a
majority of the fans who remembered
the performance, was thrown in from
the field to Mott. the Portland third
baseman. Mott took the ball in his
left hand, intending to have Cravath
go to sleep and step off the bag, when
Mett would touch him out. Instead
of this Cravath slapped the ball out of
Mott's hand and it rolled 60 feet away
to the bleacher fence and both Cravath
and Brashear sprinted to the plate and
scored. Umpire Kelly didn't see the
Cravath business and would do nothing
but allow the runs and then McCredle
protested the game. Very few people
saw the trick for the big majority of
them were watching the pitcher who
was making a bluff as If to pitch.
These two runs tied the score and
then the locals made the winning run
in the last of the ninth on a double by
Gray and a muffed Infield fly ball that
Bernard knocked to Fay. The locals
made their first run in the fourth on
singles by Carlisle and Dillon and
Cravath's long fly to center. Portland
scored in the first Inning on Casey's
single. Burdett's double and Bassey's
fly to right. The final two in the
eighth came from Burdette's double to
center. Brashear's juggle of a grounder,
singles by Donahue and McCredie and
an out. The score:

NORTHWEST LEAGUE.
Taconia, 5; Vancouver, 4.
SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 25. ( Special.)
Jess Stovall all but tossed off today's
game when Tacoma had a lead of five to
one In the ninth inning. Franklin had
been hit hard all the way through, and as
Dollar was pitching shut-out ball the
Canucks did not appear to have a look-in.
The ninth inning looked to be a per
functory affair.!, a hit by Hyatt, a fumble
by Collins, a pass to Waters, and a rous
ing single by Nelson, put the Canucks in
the game and all the Seattle fans who
went out to see strange teams at work
yelled their heads off for the Canucks.
With two down, Stovall dropped the
easiest kind of a pop fly and Vancouver
got the third run for the inning and the
Canucks were but one behind a tie game.
All Bull Croll could do was to lift a high
one to Clynes. who squeezed it and the
fight was over.
Manager Con Strothers of the Van
couver team is to resign when he gets
home, and Bill Hurley will take the
Canucks to Buttee as acting manager,
with a Vancouver business man along to
look after the finances. Strothers has ar
ranged to pull off a fight between Jack
O'Keefe and Maurice Thompson in Van
couver on September 2. and is going to
give his attention to the fighting game.

The Trl-Clty League's double-header at I
the Vaughn-street grounds, scheduled for
yesterday afternoon, was postponed be
cause of the elements. While the weather
cleared sufficiently in the afternoon to
permit a ball game, the grounds were
found to be too wet and soggy to allow
of accurate play. The competing teams
were to have been the L. S. Frakes, the
Brainard Cubs and the Trunkmakers,
and these clubs will be required to play
off double-headers at their next meeting
in order to catch up with their schedule.

DISAPPOINTED FANS COMPLAIN
Game Called Off After Crowd Is
Inside and Rain Checks Issued.
After a crowd of nearly 500 enthusiastic
fans had paid their 25 cents admission to
the St. John baseball grounds td see the
game scheduled between the St. John
and Kelso teams of the TrI-Clty League.
yesterday afternoon, the management of
the teams suddenly decided that the field
was too wet for a game, and accordingly
the umpire was instructed to call the
contest off. There were loud cries of
"fake." but the managers were generous
enough to give "rain checks" to the
crowd as it passed out of the gates. A
"rain check entitles the holder to see
the postponed game whenever played.
And all that those 600 persons had fot
their money was the sight of the two
teams warming up, with three of Mc-
Credle's Coast League players out in St.
John uniforms.
There was nothing to have prevented
the management of the two teams from
calling the game before the crowd had
assembled at the grounds. The field was
so wet that a man could hardly stand up
on it. much less play ball. Unlike the
Portland League grounds, the St. John
field is of clay. There is no grass on the
infield, and when It rains the whole place
Is slippery and wet.
Another Race Arranged.
ALBANY, Or., Aug. 25. (Special.) An
other race is being arranged between
John A. Crawford and Oregon Babe,
the local pacers who participated in a

posed race will be for a purse of J500
a side for the best two in three heats for
a mile. It is planned to hold the race
next month, the first week after the State
Fair. The quarter-mile race Friday was
won by John A. Crawford and as Oregon
Babq broke on the start and did not
have a chance to show her speed her
backers want another race. John A.
Crawford is owned by Al Thomas and
Oregon Babe by Jeff D. Isom, both resi
dents of this city.

He will undoubtedly show the most inter

seemingly endless plains, where the
bunchgrass grows thick and where wheat
fields as wide as the horizon will replace
the present waste just as soon as a rail
road makes farming profitable in that
isolated region.
The . irrigated districts along the De
schutes will unquestionably be visited and
the wonders being worked there by turn
ing water on the thirsty soil are expected
to Impress Mr. Harrlman most favorably.
He will mark out with his eye desirable
routes for a railway into that country
and. knowing as he does the advantages
of low gradients in the modern traffic
world, he Is expected to approve the
projects of engineers for a road up the
Deschutes from its mouth.
The trip south from Shanlko with the
practically empty automobiles is expected
to take about two days, while the run
back to Shanlko will probably take three
By the end of the week the party win re
turn to the railroad and will probably
come to Portland in Mr. O'Brien's car.
The special train will wait at Shaniko
until Mr. Harriman's arrival.
, Krnttschnitt"s Report Favorable,
This purpose of Mr. Harriman to go
over the territory to be served by a road
up the Deschutes is looked upon as
hastening the construction of such a line
into Eastern Oregon. It is regarded as
the most significant move by the Harri
man interests in that territory for years.
It is argued that Traffic Director Krut
technitt's somewhat similar trip Into
that country a few weeks ago to spy
out the land must have resulted in a
favorable report to Mr. Harrlman, who
is now apparently determined to see for
himself what opportunities for railroad
development exist there. As that vast.
fertile prairie lying east of the Cascades
needs but to be inspected for all who see
it tor comprehend the possibilities for
great agricultural development, it is ex
pected that Mr. Harriman cannot fall to
be impressed with its future.
Members of . the Harrlman party -who
will make the trip In the automobiles now
on their way to meet, them are: E. H.
Harriman, his two sons, Edward Roland,
aged 11, and W. A., aged 15; J. A. Taylor,
Dr. W. G. Lyle and W. O. Hill all of
New York. Colonel William H. Holabird,
of Los Angeles, is with the party and it
is expected that besides General Manager
O'Brien, attorneys and others in the Har
riman pay in the interior who are familiar
with the local situation there, will be
picked up and carried along so that they
may give the railroad magnate whatever
information he desires.
Wheat Awaits Transportation.
Probably the trip just mapped out by
Mr. Harrlman is the most satisfactory
thing he could do if he had consulted the
wishes of Oregon people. Confidence is
felt that if he but sees the country, he
will be entirely satisfied that a line into
the interior will pay from the day It com
mences operation. In the Agency Plains
district, now far from a railroad, Mr.
Harriman will see threshers at work
gathering 1,000,000 bushels of wheat. That
this section will become practically one.
vast wheatfleld with the completion of a
railroad will be apparent.
Mr. Harrlman will find thriving towns
along his route where children, grown
almost to maturity, have never seen a
railroad train. He will find settlers
flocking into that country, eager to till
the fertile soli and waiting only for the
encouragement offered by a means of
marketing their products, to make a verit
able garden of the greatest undeveloped
section of the whole United States.
When Mr. O'Brien left Portland lest
night he was poring over a map of the
state to find his way from Shaniko due
south to the Klamath country. From
Shaniko to Prineville, it is said, the roads
promise the roughest traveling, but from
Prineville south the route is a level
prairie road where fast time can be made.
If no mishaps occur, Mr. Harriman
should be in Portland by the last of the
present week and it is believed he will
have developed considerable enthusiasm
over at least one portion of this state he
has long neglected.

MINERS READY FOR TRIAL
FEDERATION PREPARED TO DE
FEND PETTIBOXE.
Senator Borah Said to Hare Made
Personal Appeal to Mlneowners
for Funds for Prosecution.
DENVER, Col., Aug. 25. (Special.)--
The Western Federation of Miners will
be ready to proceed with the trial of
George A. Pettlbone at Boise on Octo
ber 1, the date set for the final arraign
ment of tho Federation sympathizer
accused of complicity in the murder of
ex-Governor Steunenberg.
At tho Denver headquarters of the
Federation it is officially stated that
both Attorneys Richardson and Dar- J
row are still In the employ of th
miners, and that botH of them are ex
pected to conduct Pettibone's defense.
According to street gossip, based on
declarations of both lawyers, there is
a breach between them that cannot be
healed, and one or the other will drop
out of the Pettibone case.
Senator Borah, of the prosecution.
the Federation officers say, has made a
personal appeal to the Mine Owners'
Association to come to Idaho's financial
aid in further pushing the cases
against the accused Federation offi
cials. It was stated in Colorado Springs
last week that the Senator had visited
the mine owners there.
The opinion is freely expressed that
It will be impossible to secure a jury
for a second trial of the Steunenberg
caag. It is the belief of the Federation
leaders that when Harry Orchard is
ultimately brought to trial for the con
fessed murder of Idaho's Governor.
a lunacy commission will be called
and that he will be declared insane.
