pitcher- battle with both sides, for the
most psxt. going out. one, two. three.
It began to look as If the experiences
cf last year's series for the .champion
ship with Chicago would ba repeated,
namely, a tie same.
There was comparatively little noise.
The spectators were too highly keyed by
the neck-and-neck struggle to indulge In
much cheering. And besides, despite
bright sunlight, the air was rather chilly,
which also had a subduing effect. A
number of rugs and blankets were used
with comfort in various sections of the
stands. The main grandstand held a fair
sprinkling jf women, whose headgear,
when It happened to be of the latest
sweeping model, which was nearly al
ways, created considerable merriment,
not unrolngled with malice.
Big Hats Stir Croud.
The stand was crowded, and in one
wing men and boys stood up and cheered
wildly whenever a woman with the glgan
ltc Fall fashion in hats walked down the
aisles. Outwardly the applause was good
natured, but it had Its inception in the
fact that one of those hats would block
the view nf half a dozen spectators, while
anyone sitting at the side of a woman
thus bedecked had to lean far aside to
keep out of range. However, with the
beginning of play the mockery of cheers
ceased and the fair spectators saw the
game serenely through.
Tinker Breaks Spell.
To Joe Tinker belongs the credit for
breaking the spell which Donovan had
held over the Chicagoans for so long.
Stelnfeldt had struck out and Hofman
had reached tlrst because Schaefer. after
a beautiful one-handed pickup of his
weak grounder, had thrown low. The
crowd scarcely hoped for more than
fincle and hardly expected that, when
Tinker came to hat. Donovan sent
fast watst-high lnshoot over the plate.
mat is to say. partly over It.
It never got all the way, for the
stocky Chicago shortstop, who had al
ready popularized himself by fast,
clean fielding, swung viciously. The
ball soared high so n.gh that It seemed
rertsln It must drop Into Cobb's hands.
as that fielder was playing- well back
as a result of previous experiences
with Tinker. But there was an un
usual amount of energy behind the hit,
and It sailed high and clear Into the
stand in right field.
Tinker, preceded by Hofman. trotted
around the circuit, amid the first real
. heerlng of the game. Horns were
Mown, hells rung and throats strained
to Increase the ovation.
Homo Kurt Is Allowed.
Manager Jennings sought to per
suade Umpire Klem that the hit should
go for only two bases, but Klem only
smiled. They have always gone for
home runs.
The ground rules provided that hits
Into the overflow crowd restricted the
runners to two bases, but this certain
ly had nothing to do with that tremen
dous wallop of Tinker's.
The application of the rule was illus
trated hv the next man at bat. Kllng.
He knocked the first ball into the over
flow crowd in left field and stopped
running when he had reached second
base.
This onslaught had affected Donovan.
rut he still smiled and retired Overall

next hatsman, singled over second and

Attendance Is Small.
The attendance, due largely to the
chilly weather, was only lT.TKO paid
admissions, according to official fig.
ures made public after the game. The
gross reeclrts were $26,327.
I.ate candle light, for there Is still
such Illumination in certain quarters
cf Chicago, saw thin, shivering, blue
lirped lines before the ticket windows,

guished by the campstools they carried,
had been there all night- Some had had
t':.lr breakfast, but many others, with
coat-collars upturned and shoulders
hunched over against the sharp Octo

th1r pockets for sustenance.
Th':s they stood while darkness dis
appeared and daylight came, for hours,
until t'-e gates were thrown back and
the ticket-sellers appeared. Later
nuny of those who had been n line all
right or since early In the morning
were to b seen trying to dispose of
their purchases at a slight advance In
prl.-e to late comers. Many of them,
howeTcr. were compelled at the last
moment to unload the tickets for less
money than they paid. A number of
j.ersonal scalpers, who It is said had
secured a large amount of admission
tickets. In the end sold nut at a dis
count of 50 to 75 per cent.
Two Hundred Policemen on Field.
When play began the grandstands
were tilled and there were few unoccu
pied seats in the bleachers. To re
strain the overflow crowd, low board
fences were erected in left field. In

spectators preferred to stand behind
this fence rather than to sit in the

LOS ANGELES, Oct U. (Special.)
The champions found themselves against
the best pitcher in the league in Long
legs Groom, and while Koestner heaved
just as well. Groom was very effective
with men on bases and was aided by
Koestner's wlldness, a wild pitch and a
passed ball. '
The game was slow, but snappy, and
over 3600 fans were present. The field
ing features were Eassey's brilliant left
handed running catch of Oakes" fly to
left in the first inning. Ellis' long run
ning foul catch and Cooney's fine assist
from back of second base.
The umpiring was yellow in spots.
The Beavers scored first on a single
sacrifice and three passes and the next
one came from two singles and a sacri
fice, the third being due to a pass, a wild
pitch and a single. The locals made
their two on a fielder's choice, Johnson's
bad throw to first and Easterly's second
double to center. He tried to reach
third on the swat, but was thrown out.
The score:

CRESCENTS COXQUER O. R. & X.
Score Is 11 to 2 la League Soccer
Game at Baseball Grounds.
The Crescent soccer team In its second
game took a marked brace yesterday,
defeating the new C R. & N. team by 11
goals to 2. The one-sided score was due
to the inexperience of a majority of the
Hanimanites, who, however, won much
commendation for their clean appear
ance, their fair and gentlemanly style of
play and their sportsmanlike attitude.
The members were a unit in declaring
their Intention to persevere until they
have mastered more of the numerous in
tricacies of association football.
Hay fling, a newcomer from Ontario,
who played goal for several fine soccer
teams In that province, was between the
posts for the Crescents and made good
on whatever he had to do. He made a
particularly fine stop of a penalty kick.
Bell and Douglas were good on the Cres
cent forward line and Quarterman is a
reliable player. Keith, at fullback.
showed improvement. For the O. R. &
N., Captain "Jack" Hughes was con
sistently strong and clever throughout,
constituting the bulwark of his team's
defense. He was short two of his best
men, who were playing baseball else
where, and bas obviously put much bard

SCALPERS JOLTED SEVERELY
TRY TO DISPOSE OP TICKETS
AT IVOSS.
About 2000 Pasteboards Left on

cal Chicago Crowd.
CHICAGO, Oct. 11. (Special.) Chicago
did not go crazy over the third annual
renewal of the world's championship
series at the West Side ball park and
the blame does not attach to the fans.
Seventeen thousand, seven hundred and
sixty was the official turnstile count, and
as the National Commission settled with
the clubs for close on 2000 more tickets
which did not appear at the gate, it was
evident the speculators got a jolt which
hurt them as badly as Tinker's home
run wallop did the Tigers.
Thousands of fans doubtless stayed
away because of the reports that ail
seats had been sold, not caring to arise
with the lark and wait many hours in
the cold, after having been refused
tickets yesterday. It was a matter of
surprise to those who did go to find the
approaches leading to the park dotted
with men and boys, all with tickets to
sell "at no advance In regular prices."
These pasteboard venders even went so
far as to invade the elevated platforms
and alighting passengers were braced
almost before they stepped from the
cars. Down on the street the fans were
Importuned every few feet and as the
time for starting drew near, the sellers
began to realize that the expected
harvest would not be reaped and down
went the prices, but It was too late, as
buyers were as scarce as base hits during
the early Innings of the game.
If the long line of shivering fans which
waited earlier in the week for the paste
boards which never came are looking for
solace they probably will derive a little
from the sufferings of the speculators on
a market from which the bottom fell out.
It was a typical Chicago crowd that
banked itself around the arena In which
the Cubs and Tigers were to meet for
their second encounter for the blue rib
bon of the baseball world. Detroit fans

ALBANY LIBRARY IS MODEL
State Commissioners compliment
City's Acquisition.
ALBANY, Or., Oct. 11. Special.) Al
bany has the model public library of
Oregon, according to the statements of
Miss Marvin and Miss Drake, of the
State Library Commission. Miss Drake,
who catalogued and arranged the books,
stated to Miss Gard, the librarian, that
she never, organized a library under
such favorable conditions as those in Al
bany. She has been organizing libraries
the past two years in the state of Wis
consin, where $30,000 is appropriated an
nually for libraries, so her compliment is
highly appreciated by local people.
Miss Marvin, secretary of the State li
brary Commission, pronounced Albany's
library "the model of the state." The
library now has 600 books.

Total .
If a straw vote on the Presidential
election, taken among the colored waiters
of the Nortonia Hotel and the Portland
Hotel, Is indicative of the way the ne
groes will cast their vote over the country
on November 3, there will be no great
desertion from the Republican ranks by
colored voters. At the Nortonia Hotel,
where 16 colored waiters are employed,
every one of them voted for Taft, while
out of 29 waiters employed at the Port
land Hotel. 20 cast their straw vote for
Taft, five were for Bryan, three were for
Debs and one for Hlsgen. Chafin was
entirely overlooked.
The straw vote taken by The Oregonlan
on Saturday not only took in the colored
waiters, but the Y. M. C. A., the Feder
ated Trades Council, Building Laborers
and the Web Pressmen. The vote taken
was of course scattering and it is the
first straw vote taken that gives Bryan
a plurality. The same care was exercised
in taking the straw vote on Saturday
and yesterday that has characterized the
taking and collecting of the other straw
ballots.
At the Y. M. C. A., a regulation ballot
box. securely locked, was placed on the
desk and the ballots left where those
who -wished to vote could get them. At
the Federated Trades the ballots were
left on the secretary's desk. The vote
that Is printed and credited to the Feder
ation was not counted In The Oregonlan
office as all others have been, but was
handed In with the figures as they appear
on the ballot. The fact there was not
one single Taft vote cast at the meeting
of the Federated Trades, may or may
not be significant of the way this organi
zation intends to vote on November 3.
The Building Laborers marked the bal
lots and they were turned over to the
reporter and counted in the office. An
effort was mads to get the Electric
Workers to make a straw vote, but they
declined.
Says Negroes Are for Taft.
C. W. Robinson, head waiter at the
Nortonia Hotel, in speaking of the way
the colored vote would go in Portland,
said last night he believed that without
any question the negro vote would be
found In the Taft column, in spite of the
Brownsville affair, and in spite of the
Democratic boasts.
"President Roosevelt's attitude in the
Brownsville matter." said Mr. Robinson,
"and his placing Booker T. Washington at
the head of the negro race, has antagon
ized some of my race. For a time a
certain class of negroes were bitter tow
ards the President, but I find a great
deal of this feeling has died out, for
they have discovered that President
Roosevelt was sincere at heart in every
thing that he did in that matter. He was
convinced that some of the colored
troops shot up the town and in order to
reach the guilty ones, it was necessary
to punish the innocent also.
"I am firmly convinced that the Presi
dent's action was right and I have re
ceived letters from prominent men of
my race in the Bast, saying the same
thing. For myself, and I can speak for
a great many of the colored people here
In Portland. I have found nothing in the
action of President Roosevelt that would
cause me to desert the Republican party.
"There are some colored men through
out the country who have taken Issue
with the President, not on account of
the Brownsville affair, but because he
has taken Mr. Washington into his con
fidence on matters pertaining to the
colored people. The most of this feel
ing is caused by Jealousy, for I am sure
that Mr. Washington stands at the head
of the colored race In America.
"Of course we are for Taft, first be
cause he is a Republican and second be
cause he Is President Roosevelt's choice
as his successor. I think the vote taken
at the Nortonia and at the Portland
Hotel Is a fair sample of the way the
colored vote will go In November."
The result of Saturday's and Sunday's
straw vote Is as follows:
Portland Hotel Walters.

SACRAMENTO IS LEFT OUT
Gets Xo Franchise Because Portland
Club Objects.
SACRAMENTO, Cal.. Oct. 11. (Spe
cial.) According to a statement made
by President Cal Ewing. of the Pacific
Coast League, to Charles Graham, of
the Sacramento team, before the former
left for Chicago, Ed Kripp Is not to be
granted a franchise for Sacramento by
the Coast League. "Kripp will get
no franchise next year," were the
words of Ewing to Graham during
a discussison of the proposition of having
the State League become a "Class B"
league In organized ball.
It Is presumed the opposition of the
Portland club to the scheme has had its
effect.
As Ewing was behind Kripp In the
matter and had promised him a fran
chise, bis announcement came as a surprise.
September's Record
Greatly Exceeds Last Year's
OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS' WORTH OP
PIANOS, PIANOLAS, ORGANS, ORCHESTRELLES,
AND PIPE ORGANS SOLD BY THE EILERS
PORTLAND HOUSE LAST MONTH.
Sales on Puget Sound and in California Not Included If Added,
Would Make Over a Quarter Million Dollars' Sales Who Says th
Great Northwest Is Not Prosperous? See the List of Names and the
Instruments Purchased A Record That Cannot Be Equaled by Any
City Less Than of A Million Inhabitants We Are Sure.
We stated at the outset of the month that we were determined to make
September a big sales month. We had made up our minds that more pianos
would have to be sold during the mouth of September than ever heretofore
in the same month.
We recognized that buyers would be found in plenty if sufficient induce
ments, in the way of priee, and also terms of payment, were made on the
right kind of pianos. .
We took some of the choicest and best-known makes of grand and upright
pianos and arranged prices so low as to make the cost to retail buyers less
than what small dealers or agents would have to pay for them at the factory-.
And again, we made the terms of payment so extraordinarily attractive and
easy that many a home-owner saw his way clear to make his home a mu
sical one.
A satisfied buyer, merchants say, Is the best advertisement. Although numer
ous of our patrons have asked us not to publish their names, here we enumerate
tn this list over 300 "best advertisements." because every buyer has unquestion
ably becom! friend and well-wisher of Eilers Piano House, not orily because
ourrices are considerably lower and the quality of our stock a great deal h lh
er than elsewhere, but also because they found here Just a 1 ttle more consider
ate treatment and a little bit better attention to detail, a little more painstaking
and pStmvely prompt delivery (we have our own delivery service), than could
possibly be expected elsewhere. But read over the list.
