Not until the ninth Inning yesterday
could Portland connect with Brlswal
ter'a curves with any effect, and Los
Angeles took the game to the tune of
4 to 1. Kinsella pitched almost as good
a game as his opponent, but was less
fortunate In being hit at opportune
times. The Southerners used the bunt
ing game to good effect, and in the
sixth scored two runs without batting
the ball past the Infield. A close de
cision In this Inning on Brashear's bunt
was the cause of Casey being ejected
from the game. Ryan went to second
and Graney to right field.
The inning started by Bernard being
safe on a hot smash toward Cooney
and reaching second on Oakes' sacrifice.
Dillon beat out a bunt, placing Ber
nard on third, from where he scored a
minute later when Brashear bunted.
Casey and Kinsella both went after
Brashear's bunt, but finally decided to
let it roll outside the foul line, which
it did. Umpire Perine called It fair,
asserting that Casey had touched it,
and In the ensuing row Portland's cap
tain was ordered to the bench.
Rafterj Saves Day.
Smith, the next man up. forced Plllon
at third, but Brashear scored from sec
ond when Ryan slipped In handling
Ellis' grounder. The next man filed
to Raftery, and Loa Angeles added two
more runs. They had grabbed one In
the first on Oakes- pretty triple and
Dillon's bunt. Another was added in
the ninth on two singles, an out and a
sacrifice, and Portland came to bat In
her half with the score 4 to 0 against
her. Johnson was fooled on three
bender and fanned. Ellis made a fine
one-hand catch of Danzig's terrific
;ewat to left, and It began to look as
though Portland would be whlte
i washed. Raftery saved the day with a
ilong three-bagger to left center, and
scored on Baseys single. Ryan came
, next to bat. and ended the game by
grounding out.
, A certain element of the fans In the
grandstand spent most of their time
j making things disagreeable for every
body by their talk to Umpire Perine.
There were, it is true, some close, de
cisions, but this idea of not being able
: to bear losing Is unsportsmanlike and
annoying to the other spectators. The
boys played their best yesterday and
deserve credit for the brace they have
taken. It was Los Angeles' day, that was
all. and we'll hope for better luck to
morrow: Details of Game.

KRAMER LAUDS THE HORSES
PROJnXEXT XEW YORK "WHIP
COMES FROM SEATTLE.
First Exhibit Expert Has Seen In
Pacific Xorthwest Compels
His Admiration.
Samuel E. Kramer, the New Tork
whip who has been engaged to assist
Psesident T. S. McGrath at the Portland
Hunt Club Horse. Show, returned yes
terday from Seattle where he .assisted
at last week's event. Judge Rumsey,
of New Tork, who officiated at Seattle,
accompanied Mr. Kramer to Portland,
leaving last night for Buffalo. Mr.
Kramer at once took up his duties at
the Hunt Club headquarters, 229 Lum
ber Exchange, and was busily engaged
in consultations with prospective ex
hibitors in the Portland show. In ref
erence to the Seattle show he said:
"I was pleasantly surprised. at the
fine 'showing of blooded horses made
in the first horse show I have seen in
the Pacific Northwest, and really did
not expect to see so many high bred
animals so far from where they are
bred and raised. The majority of the
horses shown came from Kentucky,
Missouri, Illinois, New York and Eng
land, but the native bred horses made
a creditable showing also. Portland's
exhibit was one she may well be proud
of. each entry being absolutely good
and thoroughly up-to-date in Its class.
"Lady Zombro, Mr. Fall as' pure bred
pacer, is as good a type as one will see
In any Eastern country. Citizen and
Civilian, the handsome chestnut geld
ings exhibited by Airs. C. H. Lewis and
splendidly handled by her coachman in
the several classes shown, would, ac
cording to the statement of the judges,
have won blue ribbons had it not been
for the fact that one of them met with
an accident en route to Seattle. This
pair, I believe, were winners at last
years show in beattie ana are mucn
admired there as well as In Portland.
T. B. Wilcox's entry. Black Chief and
Hindoo Prince, were cleverly handled
In the various classes and won several
cups and ribbons
Seattle expects to maice a generous
showing at the Portland event next
month, and with the fine stock of the
two cities combined, together with that
of Spokane and Tacoma, we should
have a show here that will compare
with any of the Eastern events."

ATHLETE FUND INCREASES
COMMITTEE HOPES TO HATE
FULL AMOl'ST TOMORROW.
Public Becomes Aware of Fitness to
Show Its Appreciation of
London Champions. '
An Increase has been noted by the
finance committee of the athletic cele
bratlon fund in the number of subscrip
tions received. The amount necessary
to carry out the plans for the entertain
ment of Smlthson. Gilbert and Kelly Is
however, still Inadequate. There will be
a final meeting of the committee to
morrow night in the Portland Commercial
Club rooms, at which time it is hoped
that the committee In charge of financial
arrangements will be able to report that
the necessary funds have been received.
The public is gradually becoming aware
of the fitness and necessity of showing
its appreciation of the honor done to the
city and state In the achievements of
these young men at London. 1 he po
sition of the Oregon representatives in
the demonstrations at New Tork and at
President Roosevelt's Summer home are
believed to entitle them to the'generous
consideration of the people of their na
tive state. The largest subscription re
celved by Treasurer Devers yesterday
was one of $2o from W. D. Wheelwright.
The following letter received by Mr.
Devers yesterday from Ben Selling is il
lustrative of the attitude which is being
taken with regard to the celebration. Mr.
Selling writes:
When the committee called on ma for a
donation to the athletic fund I gave them
all they asked $5. I see the committee
needs more money here you are, $15 more
making $20 In all.
Our boya should receive a moat hearty
welcome home. Nothing ahould be too
good for them. Nothing ahould be left
undone to make their homecoming an event
encruraging othara to follow in their foot
atepa. '
Will Direct Portland Reception.
A. Lincoln Hart has been selected by
the committee in charge of the ceremonies
of welcome to the victorious athletes,

onstration which will take place next

Opinion as to the relative merits of the

ing them over like tenpins in the drive
down the stretch. He won by half a
length from Wap, the tiring pacemaker.
