Seven utralght victories proved enough
In a row for the Portland players, and
yesterday afternoon they took a day off
and gave one to Sacramento, for Charley
Graham's hustling: bunch had the better
of a 4 to 1 argument.
Portland used three twlrlers, and Sac
ramento used two. Graham substituted
Brown for Khman in the eighth, after
Jack Graney had started the Inning with
a walk. Al Carson made his debut In
Portland, but In the first Inning split a
Anger on IDoyle's chance. However, he
Ftaid In the game until the visitors
opened up on him In the fifth-.
At this Juncture, with one on ice,
Jimmy Byrnes hit for two bases, and Eh
nan scored him with a single. Bhinn
rapped another two-bagger, scoring the
pitcher. Meth-edle sent up the distress
larval and Seaton was called upon to
displace Carson on the mound. Previous
to this disastrous Inning, House had
cored In the second, when he hit a sharp
one to center. Ryan fell down in trying
to trap it and the Sacramento player
completed the circuit before the ball was
returned.
Portland Scores In Fifth.
With three mna handicap, Portland
started the fifth Inning, and up to that
time McCredle'B boys had not been able
to glean the semblance of a hit oft
"Buck" Ehman. the newly-acquired
twirler secured from the Boston Ameri
cans. Ryan started the inning with a fly
to Gandli. and waa out. Olson laced the
flrst pitched ball against the left garden
wall for two bases, and the fast work of
House was all that prevented the speedy
Portland shortstop from taking three on
the blngle. Ort went out, Raymer to
Gandli. but Olson advanced to third, and
McCredle's timely swat to left sent Ivor
over the pan for Portland's only run.
These two hit and Ote Johnson's first
single on the home lot were all the hits
the Portland players could collect. Both
Khman and "Buster" Brown, who was
sent on the mound when the big fellow
showed elgns of letting up in the eighth,
had Portland at their mercy.
The game was not nearly so exciting
or spectacular aa the two previous con
tests, but still It was a good contest, and
Sacramento had the luck as well as the
ability to hit when blnglets meant runs.
Carson was unfortunate in sustaining an
accident on his flrst appearance, but he
will be all right in a day or two and will
take his turn on the mound. Seaton, the
youngster who relieved Carson, showed
considerable class, and while he does not
-retch the bases as closely as he might,
a is roung yet and has plenty of time in
which to Improve. The visitors were un
able to hit his delivery at all, although he
1 very slow and deliberate in his actions.
Harkness, who succeeded him, had plenty
of steam, but the visitors found him for
two hits which resulted in another run.
The work of the youngsters should not be
severely criticised this early In the game.
let them have an opportunity to show
what they can do.
Raymer roes Star Work.
The fielding of Fred Kaymer at second
base for Sacramento was one of the fea
tures of the game. In fact his work was
about the only feature In that line worthy
of note. Raymer not only handled 12
chances cleanly, but participated In a
couple of fast double plays which helped
Khman out of holes nicely.
Today will be ladles' day and the fair
sex will undoubtedly be out In force. The
score of yesterday's game follows.

waa the performances of Frank Howe,
who seems to have come back Into his
old-time form once again. He is one of
the best trap shooters in America, and
he won the Inman medal and other prizes
last Sunday by good margins. The Port

to do great things In the coming North

Henry Berry writes: -In reference to
discussion over player Shlnn. I can only ray
that I cannot state positively what judge
McCredie .aid. Would pot like to state any
thing definite when I am not sure.' I take
my hat off to Berry.
"Now, a word aa to the facts, and I will
not worry the public again with this mat
ter. I arrived at the St. Francis Hotel
about noon, December 21, 1908. Ewlng was
buay with. Johnson and Pulllam. trying to
get the outlaw, in organized baaeball I
saw him but little. We had a conference
with Morelng et al.. I think, that after
noon. No agreement, and they retired. The
next forenoon Graham came to the room and
wanted a proposition to take to them This
proposition provided that. If they came in.
they were to have all playera with them
belonging to other clubs for three years,
etc. I said to Ewlng then that we had
Shlnn and Kennedy already signed, and I
Pray Hard for Two Things
Sunshine for the Sun
day game and for one
of our $1.50 new shirts
selling today special,
$1.05
thought they ought not to be Included, for
Portland had a very heavy load to carry In
getting together two teams, and needed
these men. Ewlng disagreed with me.
Berry remember, this, and Ewlng ought to.
That waa the only time Player Shlnn was
mentioned at that meeting, either by me or
any one elae In my presence. This 1. abso
lutely the truth, regardless of what Ewlng
or any one elae may Bar to the contrary.
Graham undoubtedly feels under obligation
to Ewlng, and 1 don't blame him: likewise
Waltera of the Oakland club: also Ish. a
grand, good man. and uncle of Ewlng-a;
also Ewlng himself, who abounds In good
qualities, but who has gotten Into a nsrht.
and he propose, to flght It out on the theory
that everything 1. fair in love and war. He
la certainly aa exemplification of that rule.
Offered Byrnes Conditionally.
"I did talk with Graham, and suggested.
If the outlaw, would not come in. and he
would Join the Pacific Coast T.eak-ue. he
could have Catcher Byrnes, and If he want
ed Henderson, Morlarlty and Hackett. If
.agreeable to Oakland and San Francisco, lt
would be to us. Graham manifested no In
tention of coming In. was asking for no
playera and practically made no reply. He
never said a word to me about Shlnn. or
any other player. He only said he would
have to treat the outlawa fairly aa lonr aa
be waa associated with them, and during
that time he wouldn't consider the Pacific
Coast League. I left that night for Port
land.' About a month afterward. Oraham
decided to come into the league. He wrote
Walter asking for Shlnn.- Nowhere In that
letter does be say that Judge promised
him Shlnn. Walt, wrote him to the effoct
that we couldn't spare him. on account of
the fact we had to gather together so many
men. Then Ewlng wrote me. asking us to
turn Shlnn over to Sacramento, and. mind
you, not a word does be aay about thla pre
tended promlae. Doean't even remind me
that any such a promise. wa made. A lit
tle strana if such waa the ctaee! I wrote
him. saying we couldn't spare Shlnn. and
reminding him that If Portland built two
teams single-handed. Oakland. San Fran
claco and Los Angeles ought to be able to
assist Sacramento and Vernon. Then he. aa
the chief representative of the minor
leagues, proceeded to act 1n a very arbitrary
manner, and war between u. Immediately
waa on.
"I can are how Ewing could get the Idea
I promised to assist Graham, because I was
willing for him to have'Catoher Byrnes and
even the use of Henderson, but how he
could set tha Idea I promised Shlnn tn the
face of my statement to him directly that I
thought w were entitled to both of them
on two grounds, first, that they were signed,
and second, that we had enough to do In
building up two teams, la beyond my compre
hension, unless he himself promised Shlnn to
Graham, and. after we declined, determined
to bull lt through, regardless of results.
"In hla early correspondence about the
matter he said X, In the St. Francis Hotel,
transferred Shlnn to Graham. I called his
attenUon to the fact that Sacramento at that
time and for 80 days thereafter wasn't In
the league and asked him how could Shlnn
be transferred to a club not in existence. He
then dropped that transfer and took the po
altlon ha la now taking-, that wa promised
Shlnn to Sacramento provided we got Ken
nedy. No one at the time, or, at any time,
was asking for Kennedy. If no one asked
for Kennedy, would Ewlng deny Portland a
right to have him? Likely story that we
would promlae Bhinn for no return when we
needed him and were planning on hta aerr
loaa. "It la true w do not now need Shlnn. We
have gone to the expense to All the gap.
However, you will notice that It wae at our
expense, not San Francisco's.
"la this matter Ewlng has dealt entirely
in glittering generaltle. and on account of
hie Intimate surroundings around the bay, I
have been obliged all the time to appeal to
the logic of the situation and leave lt to the
Portland fans as to how well and truthfully
I have maintained a cons'.atent and honor
able position. Nowhere have I wobbled or
dodged from pillar to poat. Ewlng has my
permission to publish every letter I have
written him on the subject, and there are
