After playing gingery baseball all week Against the tribe of Van Haltren, Walter McCredle and his hirelings blew up In the sixth Inning of yesterday's final game cf the Oakland series. Because Portland did everything imaginable but support "Speck" Harkness, the Commuters stowed away enough runs to win a 6-to-4 argu ment against the home guard. The customary overflow Sunday crowd was present and not a single person left the field before the "last man was down In the ninth. They remembered the grandstand finish of the previous week when Ote Johnson broke up the game with the same score favoring the Angels. Testerday the heavy-hitting third sacker was not given e. chance to bat in the final chapter, for Mr. Christian disposed of the Portland swatsmen in one-two-throe style. It was the sixth inning that caused Portland's, and also Harkness' downfall, end resulted in calling "Kit" Carson into the game in the seventh. Harkness' de mise was not due to any glaring fault on his part, for had he been accorded the least semblanc of support in that fatal sixth, he would have had the Oakland er's on the run as badly as Roosevelt has the lions In South Africa. "Speck" says he is not in the Roose velt class as a single-handed hunter, and when his platoon of retrievers and trap pers became afflicted with stage fright, Harkness fell with a dull sickening thud, as the dramatic "cslcket" would say. Duffy Lewis Starts Trouble. ruffy Lewis opened the aerial excur sion of the Portland team with a shot to right, which was good for only two bases, but Manager Walter tried out his arm too strenuously, and before his hasty heave was recovered by George Ort, Duffy was reposing peacefully at the third corner. The tall manager then for got the boundary of fair territory, and thinking that Carroll's long fly was foul, he promptly dropped the sphere as though there was something on It. This" chased Iuffy Lewis over for the Oaks second run of the game, the first - having been donated by four successive bases on balls In the fifth, but that was not all. Truesdale relieved the anxiety of , the fans by flying to Ort, but Carl Lewis caused additional gloom by scooting one at Ote Johnson, and Ote followed the tall manager's example by failing to con nect. A pass to Pitcher Christian, who wore large bunches of horse shoes, filled the bases. Howard Murphy skied to Buddy Ryan, and two Commuters were nicely stowed away in Icehouse. Bernle McCay dumped one and all hands were safe, with Carroll scoring. "Old Folks" Van Haltren looked like easy money, despite the fact that he worried Harkness into a pass forcing in the run in the previous inning. His slow bounder should have been tucked away neatly by Ivor Olson, but the speedy young man who is usually most reliable, did worse than Johnson, and before the boot was recovered, Carl Lewie and Christian had scored, while MeOny was perched on third and Van on first. Scores on Double Steal. In the face of this damage, Harkness' troubles were not over, for Van Haltren nnd McCay worked tho double steal, the latter scoring the fifth run for the inning, and the last for the game. Bill Hogan walked in this inning, but Duffy Lewis, on his second appearance at the platter in that session, forced the "Happy One" at second. Portland failed to negotiate In the home team's half of the hurdy gurdy sixth, but In the seventh, after Carson had disposed of the Oaklanders, Olson pickled one for three cases, and scored on Ort's fly. fSomewhat regretfully the 6000 fans quietly awaited the final chapter, though in each of the remaining innings tney entertained hopes of a revival of last Sunday's glorious finish. Christian proved too many for the home boys, his team mates were full of ginger because of their good fortune, and the game ended with Hogan grabbing Orts liner and the gloomy parade to th cars began. A one-handed spear of Johnson's long drive by Carroll, the catching of two difficult fouls against the, grand stand by Carl Lewis. Buddy Ryan's great work In center field, and Armbrusters fine catching were the fielding features of the game, which had some bright spots de spite the one bad inning. Graney on Mound Tomorrow. Commencing tomorrow afternoon, when Jack Graney will make his first appear ance for a week, the Portland team is scheduled for the hardest series of the season so far recorded. San Francisco will be the opposing nine commencing a six-game series. The official score follows: OAKLAND. AB. R. IB. TO.

V- FRANK GOTCH WHO IS SCHEDULED FOR MAT COXTEST AT THE HE1L1G. Prank Gotch, the greatest wrestler that ever stepped on canvas, will wrestle In Portland at the Heilig theater Tuesday night. May 11, accord ing to final arrangements made yesterday. It was originally intended to have the champion of the world here May 14, but owing to a change in his itinerary he will be here three days earlier. Eugene wants to see the mat marvel and Salem would also be happy to get sight of him. Tacoma Is keen on having the champion appear there and Spokane is in the same class. - It Is probable that the tour will be continued into Vancouver, B. C, where the fans are great admirers of Gotch. The appearance here of Gotch will be the climax of a successful season at the wrestling game. Ever since the announcement that the big Iowan was coming, the local sports have been on the qui vive. This will probably be Gotch's last year on the mat. He has announced several times that he would quit wrestling after his meeting with George Hackenschmldt in Australia next Fall, and it may be the last time Portland will have a chance to see the champion of the world.

The game was very slow as the life was taken out of the players by the extreme heat. The score: R.H.E.I R.H.E Vancouver 3 6 2ATbina 0 6 6 Batteries. Van and Chapin; Crosby and Brock.

Spokane cleaned up the necessary run in the Hth, with two consecutive two-baggers, winning, 6 to 5, a ball game that in the early innings was rather yellow and In the late innings gilt-edged. It seemed to satisfy the enormous Sunday crowd, although baseball scholars found little consolation in the dope sheet. Chinault had a very bad session in the second and again in the fourth, and was chased, as he was on Saturday, and Kin sella went in. Then the contest resolved itself Into a real ball game, for Jensen had been given a drubbing in the third inning and awoke to the fact that Port land was after the game. Kinsella, who shows more class than any- pitcher yet seen here this season,, was at his best until the 11th. He seemed able to strike batters out at will, and the Portland team played like a well-drilled brainy machine behind him. As the game seesawed up to the eighth inning and then resolved itself Into a tie, there was something more than excite ment. So skillful were the pitchers of both teams that the outfielders had lit tle to do. Jensen retired Portland without dam age in the first half of the 11th. and Port land had Clynes retired, when Altman came up. He smashed the ball on a line to left center, and made second base. Weed liked the performance and repeated it. Altman walking home with the win ning run. Score: PORTLAND. AB. R. H. ... 6 12 PO. 0 6 1 12 2 2 0 9 O 0 Casey, Cooney, Bassey, Mullln, Garry, 2b... BS. . .

Despite poor ferry service across the inlet and cramped ac commodations at the ball park, about 3500 fans were on hand. No attempt was made cither to stop the game or arrest any of the participants, but it is under stood the case will be taken to the courts in order to settle the legality of this and subsequent games. At the end of the first Inning Chief of Police Davis stepped to the home plate and called the players and umpire to him. The crowd thought that meant the end of the game, and commenced to shout its disapproval, but it was only a warn ing from the police. Umpire Fly-nn made the announcement for the chief that it was an unlawful game and those attend ing were each liable to a HO fine, but the spectators only Jeered. The game itself was an interesting one, going 10 innings, and the home team won out by a score of 4 to 3. A short left field fence necessitated ground rules for two-bagger ' over-the-fence clouts.

SAILS FOR ENGLAND MAY 26 Will Return, Manager Says, to Fill Engagements With Kaufmann and Ketchel Fight With Jeffries Expected. CHICAGO, May 2. (Speclal.)-Oack John son has wound up his local theatrical en gagements and will start hard training to morrow for his bout with Jack O'Brien, which is set for Philadelphia May 19. He has been working lightly with Kid Cutler, Tony Caponi and Yank Kenney, and the. three will act as his sparring partners for the next two weeks. Geo-g?. Lytle. who Is managing Joh.i. eon, says that although the big col 3 ed boxer will sail for England, May 26 he intends to come back in time to fill Ms engagements here with Kaufmann and Ketchel. Lytle also believed Jeffries will meet Johnson. "I stopped In the same hotel with Jef fries when we were in New York," said Mr. Lytle, "and finally got an inter view with him. I believ ho will box Johnson, all right, but he needs plenty of time to get back Into scape. Even if Mcintosh was unable to secure an in terview with him, I managed to see the big fellow and he was reasonable enough in his line of talk." SLUGGERS TAKE DROP SEATTLE BATTERS FAIL KEEP UP AVERAGES. TO Spokane Team Is Well Balanced, but Portland Players in North western Fail to Show. Another week of such pitching as was dished out by the Tacoma twirlers in the recent series with Seattle and the slug gers of Dugdale will be hitting along at about their natural clip. All of the .400 hitters of the previous week have taken a tumble, and while some of them are well over the .300 mark, they may be expected to drop to the .250 point before long. Spokane has the most evenly balanced hitting team, and as that club has been playing on a regulation field it can be presumed that Brown's men are hitting at their regular gait. At least all of them have finished seasons in the past with marks similar to the records made in the first two weeks of the Northwest ern League. Portland has not a single regular player In what can be called the slugger class. Bassey, Garry, Casey, Mullin, Marty Murphy and Staton are not setting the field afire with the frequency and regu larity of their hits, but the boys may recover after they wear off some of their newness. The batting averages of all of the Northwestern League players up to and including the games played yes terday, are as follows: Player and Club. AB. R. H.
