STORY TOLD BY AVERAGES Number of Local Players Who Are Usually Good Batsmen Puzzled by the Twirlers From the South. Batting averages of the Portland and Los Angeles teams during the series ended yesterday explain, In a measure, the cause of the home team"s failure to take the majority of the contests played. In team batting, Los Angefes secured a percentage 13 Doints better than the home club, but Portland made up for this deficiency and scored as many runs as did the Angels, which helped considerably In gaining an even break with the visiting clubs. Big Hal Danzig, who participated in only four games of the series, being kept out of the other two games by illness, leads the McCredleites in the hitting line with an average of .400. Bobby Groom eecured an average of .333 by hitting eafely in the two games he worked. Tom Raftery played in every game, and seems to have re gained that lost batting eye which has worried him of late, for the fleet footed center fielder batted an aver age of .304 for the week. Johnson and Cooney swelled their averages a trifle, but Bassey. Casey, Ryan and McCredie fell off heavily before the assaults of the Angel pitchers. Among the seraphic contingent. Jud Smith, Easterly and Kitty Brashear proved the strongest batsmen, for the Portland twlrlers failed to puzzle them very much, and each is credited with a comfortable average for the week's effort with the club. Smith and Bras hear had each suffered a bad slump, so the Increase In their percentages will be decidedly welcome. Captain Dillon and George Wheeler were the marks for the Portland twlrlers, for neither of them hit over .160. Oakes also had a bad week in the hitting line, and Delmas did not hit as strong as usual. The averages of the two teams for the series of six games are as follows: Portland. Player AB. R. H. Ave. SB.

Both games were sleepy affairs. Marshall and Robinson were the opposing slabsters in the first game and honors were about even, but Marshall was given the better support though it lacked a great deal of being perfect. Holmes and Habernicht were the . artillerists in the second en gagement, and the former had the best of the duel and would have shut the "Papermakers" out had his support been perfect. In spite of the many errors, several brilliant plays brought cheers from the spectators, notably three doubles by the locals, and Lavier's three-fly swat with the bases full, and a hard fly that Huddleston picked off the grass in center field during the first game.

That the effect was not what the "allies" ex pected was admitted todc - by a number of men who had knowledge of the entire proceedings. Senator Crane, of Massa chusetts, who has been recognized as one of the chief advisers of the anti-Taft movement, said today that the announce ment should not have been made. Sen ator Hemenway characterized the story that the "allies" had decided to bolt as "unauthorized." . Mr. Kealing was not so emphatic, but he Intimated that somebody had been dreaming. A. B. Humphreys, the Hughes manager, said that he had not attended the conference, but that he had agreed to abide by any decision reached. Manag ers for Speaker Cannon and Senators La Follette ani Foraker were not parties to the announcement. Shrewd Move for Harmony. ir became known today that the ad journment of the National committee yesterday was largely in the nature of a diplomatic proceeding. It had been sug gested to Senator Lodge, an ardent sup porter of Taft, that. Inasmuch as the nomination of Taft on the first ballot seemed highly probable, the remainder of the' contests should be settled on a har mony basis. Among those who urged this plan were Chairman New. Secretary Dover. Committeemen Mulvane, of Kan sas. Hart of Iowa. Crane of Massachu setts, Scott of West Virginia, Ward of New York, Heyburn of Idaho. Browniow of Tennessee and Scott of Alabama. The plan was not received with favor by many members of the committee who have dominated the proceedings from the start. At the suggestion of Frank H. Hitch cock, manager for Taft and holder of the proxy of the New Mexico member of the committee, an adjournment was taken until Monday. The Taft forces at once commenced a series of telegraph and tele phone communications between here and Washington. Neither Mr. Hitchcock nor Charles P. Taft, brother of the Secre tary, was Inclined to yield to tha over tures made. Both were embarrassed, however, by the appeals made by certain members of what Is known as the "old guard" in the Republican ranks. Indorsement From Washington. Before noon today Mr. Hitchcock had received from Washington an official in dorsement of the "standpat" position he had taken, and the statement was made that if the "allies" declined to continue their contests before the National com mittee, the temporary roll of the conven tion would be filled by the Taft delegates from the contested districts. "It is nothing but a bluff, and I am not going to be scared by it," said Mr. Hitch cock late last night, when told of tho move of the allies. This expression was not made for publication, but It was car ried to the anti-Taft people. It was noised about that President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft had determined to hold' the Southern delegations which had been gained, and that no concessions could be expected from the Taft manage ment. The effect of this announcement was immediate. Conferences were again called by the "allies.''' but. as before, only representatives of .Vice-President Fair banks and Senator Knox, with Senator Crane, who in a general way seems to represent all of the anti-Taft people, were present. Senaor Crane condemned the plan of violating the regularity of the convention procedure, and insisted that. regardless of the result, the contests should be continued before the National committee. Senator Hemenway, of Indi ana, Joined in this opinion, and It was agreed that all of the "allies" should meet late today. This conference, the last of an all-day series, was productive of the "statement from the allies." Senator Crane said today that after the contests brought by the anti-Taft delegations had been turned down by the National committee, they would be submitted to the credentials com mittee of the convention itself, but that he did not doubt that the result would be the sustaining of the Na tional committee. If the Taft managers hold by their declarations, and it is evident that the attitude of the managers of the local headquarters reflects the situation in Washington, concessions to the anti Taft camp can be gained by a com plete surrender of all opposition. It was . announced today that Arthur Vorys, another of the managers, will arrive here tomorrow. Representative McKinley, chief of the Cannon forces, and Senator Dick, who Is looking after the interests of Senator Foraker, are also' expected. All of the contests still to be settled are brought by negro voters instructed for Senator Foraker, excepting four dis tricts in Kentucky, which are claimed for Vice-President Fairbanks, and two in Missouri, which are claimed for Governor Hughes. It was rumored here tonight, but not confirmed, that Senator Dick will order that many of the Foraker con tests be defaulted in the interest of Sec retary Taft. The committee will begin work again at 10 o'clock tomorrow, taking up first the contests of the Third Florida District. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND. June 7. Maximum tempera ture.
