Jack Graney, Portland's clever south paw, was all to the good yesterday, end in the opening; (tame of the final series with the Seals on the Vaughn Ftreet lot, the visitors were blanked. Portland, on the other hand, collected toU on a quartet of runs scored off Harry Sutor. the premier twirler of the visiting club. Oraney had the Indian sign on the Feal Drlgade from the opener to the final chapter, and when the score was finally totalled up it was found that but two hits had been gleaned off his delivery. When runs would have counted he was there with the goods and prevented the required bingo that would have brought in a runner or two for the Invaders. As a matter of f.ict. Hraney pitched one of the best games of the season, and San Francisco's whitewash was due entirely to his masterful work on the mound. During the entire game only three fly balls end one safe hit went to the outfield. The other hit in the second was a scratch, and was due to Graney's own slowness In waiting for an extra bound before fielding the ball and throwing to first. Starts Scoring in First. Sutor developed a streak of wlldness in the first Inning, which practically cinched the game for Portland. He walked the first three men. thereby filitni? the bases, and when Hal Danzig, the clever youngster who has come In for so much unfavorable com- ent of late, rapped a pretty hit to center, two runs scored for Portland. B8ssey"s scratch, hit. which bounded off. Williams' shins, scored Johnson with the third run. and this lead seem ingly took the heart out of the Seal brigade. Casey. Cooney and ' Johnson were the Portlanders to draw passes in the opener, and the first two scored on Danzig's clout. Casey afterwards wor ried Sutor Into giving him a free ticket on two other occasions, but he was un able to negotiate the register after the first Inning. Danzig opened the fifth inning with a clout against the right garden wall which went for two bases, and when "Walter McCredle stung one of Sutor's offerings for a safety to left. Hal trotted home with the fourth run. While Portland was performing these feats in the scoring line, San Fran cisco was being held helpless by Graney, wtio seemed to ba on his mettle and desirous of securing re venge for previous defeats adminis tered by the Seals. That he succeeded will be testified to by any of the fans present yesterday. "Crabby Kid" Mohler was inclined to protest against ( the umpiring of Mr. Flynn. a new ac quisition in the officiating line in po.-tland, but one who is a real official. Mohler's objections were passed over somewhat lightly, and it is to be hoped that the new umpire will give the Kid the skiddoo sign on his next vocif erous protest. Cooney Does Great Work. Phil Cooney carried off the fielding honors for Portland, for the little I shortstop was everywhere, and suc ceeded in cutting off several bounders that appeared good for at least a sin gle. He had seven chances, all of which were more or less hard of execu tion. Dan Kelly, accompanied by his father and Virgil Cooper, of Baker City, availed himself of the invitation ex tended by Judge McCredle to the ath letes yesterday, and attended the game, while Gilbert and Smlthson were de tained by their relatives, whom they had not seen for several months.

Oakland played the most wretched game of It career on the home grounds here today and Los Angeles walked off with the contest, 10 to 0. It was a regular comedy of errors, Oakland falling down on 10 chances. Truck Egan was the worst offender, and while he played only four innings, he managed to make four errors. He was replaced by Miller, who also made a bad play. Nagle was in his usual good form, and he allowed the locals Juat seven hits. The score: LOS AXGEL.ES. AB.

In the sixth Pittsburg scored two runs without making a hit. Philadelphia being charged with four errors. The home team made a bid for victory in the pinth. Courtney led off with a two-bagger and two outs followed. Grant scored Courtney with a single and Knabes double brought Grant home.

MORE THAN 300 ATTEND Governor Chamberlain, Mayor Lane, Judge Williams and Others Praise Men Who Won Honors for America at London. Alfred C. Gilbert. Forrest C. Smlthson and Daniel J. Kelly, Oregon's victorious athletes at the recent Olympic games In London, were the guests of honor at an elaborate banquet at the Commercial Club last night. The dinner was the conclusion of the formal welcome ex tended the trio and was attended by over 300 prominent citizens of the state, all of whom are ardent admirers of athletic feats. Governor Geoi ge E. Chamberlain. Mayor Harry Lane. Judge George H. Williams. General Charles F. Beebe. Bishop Charles Scadding. Reverend A. A. Morrison, Dis trict Attorney George J. Cameron, Colo nel James Jackson and others well known In public and private life were present. The banquet itself was elaborate. The spacious parlors of the Commercial Club were decorated In the most tasteful man ner, and the settings complete In every detail. The repast was a testimonial to the completeness of the club's splendid equipment. Governor Is First Speaker. Dr. Morrison, chairman of the recep tion committee, introduced Governor Chamberlain as the first speaker of the evening. The Governor, In beginning his remarks, referred to the pleasure it gave him to welcome home such Bplen did specimens of Oregon manhood, and said that the entire state was exceed ingly proud to claim the victors as her sons. "I do not recollect when I have had the pleasure of addressing a gath ering in a more fitting cause than the occasion of this evening," he said. "Our guests are worthy of everything that can be done by us in their behalf. Their efforts in a foreign land and in a for eign competition stand forth as feats of glory on a par with any athletic event in recent history. Such a chance may never arise again, and for the great State of Oregon to claim three of the boys who are numbered among the victors at London Ib an occasion for general Jubilation among their fellow citizens. "The performances or our guests will go down Into history not only as adding to the prowess of the United States of America, but as adding luster to the star represented In the flag of our country by the State of Oregon. It gives me great pleasure to congratulate these young men on their remarkable accomplishments- at London." Mayor Adds to Welcome. Governor Chamberlain's remarks were greeted enthusiastically, and when he had concluded Dr. Morrison Introduced Mayor Lane. The Mayor said: "Last evening I had an opportunity to greet these young men, and this, the sec ond time, seems more auspicious than the first. One cannot meet them too often, for they have earned the good will and respect of every citizen of our city and state. It is but due them that functions of this kind be Inaugurated in their honor, for as representative citizens of our com monwealth, they have performed nobly against the competition of the world and have brought laurels to Oregon. Again I thank you for this opportunity, and you. the guests of honor, I trust shall be ever equally successful in whatever enterprise you may undertake." Judge Williams was then called upon to respond lo the toast, "The Uses of Athletics." The venerable Oregon statesman, who probably evinces more Interest in athletic sports- than any other man of his age In the state, arose and said: "It ives me great pleasure this evening to be present with these young men who have so nobly uphfeld the honor of the city and state in a for eign land. They have competed in the Olympic games the contests symboli cal cf the famous competitions of ancient Greece, where men were recog nized for their physical prowess and not for their business ability. Today men are not only recognized for a business acumen, but also for their physical strength and manhood. "In this trio of native sons of our state we find three of the best-appointed young athletes of the world. The honors they have won at London will not only be beneficial to themselves and the state, but will prove a lasting object-lesson to the younger generation. Tiie performances - of Smlthson, Kelly and Gilbert will be held before the youth ,of today, and the honors they have won will be sought by the great majority of the boys who have today witnessed the grand welcome extended the Oregon victors. In this one in stance the commonwealth owes an eternal debt of gratitude to these boys, for their feats will etimulate the ath letic spirit In the younger generation more than anything else." Gilbert and Kelly Speak. Colonel Jackson, District Attorney Cameron and others- made short ad dresses, after wnlch the athletes were called upon to respond. Mr. Smlthson asked to be excused, as he was more In clined to hurdle than to make a talk. Mr. Gilbert responded with a short talk, In which he thanked the people of Port land and Oregon for the splendid recep tion tendered him and his teammates, and then dwelt shortly upon the condi tions found at London during the com petitions. Gilbert's remarks were well expressed and he was enthusiastically applauded. Mr. Kelly responded short ly by telling how pleased he was to re turn to Portland, and thanked the com mittee and the others present for the splendid reception. Tomorow the Oregon fcoys will prob ably be the guests of the State Fair Association at Salem. This date, while it Is also Portland Day, is most satis factory to the athletes, for they have made other arrangements for later in the week. Friday night. Alfred Gil bert leaves for Ses'tli. where he Is to be married to Miss Mary Thompson on Saturday night. Great credit is due to members of the Portland committee for the splen dl success of Monday's reception to the Oregon boys, each of whom wishes personally to extend his gratitude to the Public. Dr. Morrison. A. H. Devers, H. E. Judge. R. F. Farrell, and C. F. Berg proved themselves indefatigable workers In quaking the affair the grand success it was. Auto Clubs in Conference. XEW YORK, Sept- 15. Terms by the Automobile Club of America for the settlement of the . racing trouble were considered at a special meeting of the executive committee of the Amer ican Automobile Association, held In this city. W. H. Hotchkiss. of Buf falo, presided, and, after a session of several hours' duration, it was said no decision had been arrived at. The clos est secrecy is maintained on both sides concerning the terms of the proposed agreement, but it Is generally under stood that the Automobile Club of America demands control of racing In this country and asks for the reorgan ization of the Amateur Automobile As sociation. It is said, however, that com pliance with the club's terms will not necessarily remove the so-called Inter national ban from the next Vanderbllt cup race.

WANT DURABLE PAVEMENT Willamette Improvement Association Makes Plans for Thoroughfares. For1 the purpose of forming a hard surface pavement In North Albina, the Willamette Improvement Association has become active in a new campaign. The district to be formed Is bounded by Patton avenue, Kllllngsworth avenue, the Willamette boulevard and Portland boulevard. In this district an effort will be made to put down only hard surface pavement of some sore, not yet selected. Streets are all to be parked; that Is, the paved roadway will be made 30 feet wide and there will be wide sidewalks. It is thought by park ing the streets that the paving will cost much less than if paved the full width. L. C. Fones, who has fought for hard-surface pavements, said that the sentiment in the district is favorable to the forming of such a district. The matter will be taken up with the property-owners In the future through the Push Club, and some definite action will be taken. Just what material will be finally selected has not been decided.

SUPERB CATTLE COMING Montana and Wyoming Will Be Well Represented When the Annual Show Opens in This City Xext Week. Exhibits for the first annual Pacific Na tional Livestock show which is to be held here all next week, will be received the remainder of the present week. The transportation arrangements have been perfected so that the entries from Mon tana. Idaho, Wyoming and from Canadian points, which are to make their first ap pearance on the North Pacific Fair Cir cuit here may be Installed several days before the opening of the week's exhibit. Five carloads of show stock are on their way here from Montana, three from various points In Alberta, while Wyoming will be represented at the opening of the show with several carloads of cattle and sheep. The entire livestock department now in full swing at Salem will be shifted to Portland for the show next week. The entries In the various grand divisions, classps. subdivisions and groups will mean a display in Portland in connection with the Country Club & Livestock Associa tion meet that has never been approached In this part of the country. The dally dispatches from Salem state that the harness racers which are competing In the class events are breaking records each day, and that the array of talent In the livestock portion of the Fair is greater in number and more diversified in classification than at any previous fair in this state. Special Days Arranged. On the special days which are to be arranged for on the general week's pro gramme, every city in the North Pacific Fair circuit will have an Important part to play. Bellingham, the city where the opening week of the circuit was cele brated, has entered contenders in sev eral of the harness race events and will have place In the Pacific National show classes. Northwestern Washington has a number of classy stockmen and breeders of the state and their herds and indivi duals will compete for the ribbons here. Directors of the Country Club & Live stock Association met, yesterday and passed on a number of concessions. The general management committee of which F. O. Downing is the cualrman reported that the choke of the committee for sup plying the musical programme for the races and livestock show was A. De Caprio, to whom the city has awarded the contract for the park concerts for the past two years and who directed the Administration band during the Lewis antli Clark Fair three years ago. Reports from the managements of the circuit meets at Everett and Seattle which were read at the meeting showed that, the entire state of Washington is interested In the livestock industry, and that there Is splendid opportunity for the development of the harness racing sport, without the gambling features if all the cities in the circuit work together. Objections to Gambling. Portland took the lead in this matter and the representatives of the gambling Interests of the East, and of the running race interests of Seattle, Butte. Emery ville and other places were refused con sideration. The State Board of Agricul ture which handles the Oregon State Fair stood pat. as (lid the officials of the West ern Washington Fair at Seattle,, last week, and this united effort means that there will be no gambling at any of the cities In the Northwest Included In the harness race circuit. The street railway extension from Sandy Road has been put in shape so that traffic will be handled directly over the new "loop," and the O. R. & X. has almost 'finished its tracks into the grounds. Livestock exhibits may be laid down at the show barns without trans shipment, no matter from- what quarters they may come. The first consignments of race horses will begin to arrive tomorrow or Friday, for the rpeeders which have been per forming in the early-day events at the State B'air will be sent here just as soon as they have made their last appearance at the state capital The same will be true of the livestock. The horse, cattle, sheep, swine and goat barns are completed and are being pro visioned , and stocked up to handle the exhibits In the big show.
