That Vancouver champion team be
haved, very much like a brush organiza
tion In the fifth Inning of yesterday's
game, and the presentation party result
ing gave Casey's Colts an undeserved vic-
tory by the score of 5 to 4.
Jack Gilligan. the tall, good-looking
fellow who finished Jack Hickey's game
1 the previous day, essayed the task of
fooling the Caseyites again, and while
he allowed only two hits, he assisted in
tossing off his game by two weird heaves
to first base. Joe Sugden must have made
the mistake of tipping off the presence
of George Huff, the Chicago National
"League scout, and also .the - fact that
Fielder Jones, who is doing a little scout
ing on his own hook, were in the grand
stand. Anyhow. Gilligan behaved like a
bashful schoolboy giving his first public
recitation.
Vancouver collected toll on two aces
in the first chapter. Mahon and Scharn
weber hit safely, and Quigley sacrificed.
Charley Swain bit to Kennedy, and Ed
hesitated to see if the seams on the ball
had been sewn properly. Mahon scoring.
Paddock, the twlrler, who played right
'field because of Havis. injury, skied to
Garry, which sacrifice fly scored Scharn
weber. Portland hooked one in the second by
grace of Gllligan's first wild toss to first
and Staton's clean single. Adams opened
the fourth with a single and Kennedy
was hit by a pitched ball. Garry sacri
ficed, advancing both men, and Staton's
squeeze bunt scored Adams.
This inning was followed by the grand
blow-up in the 'fifth. Foumier flew out
and Seaton secured one of the two bases
on balls tendered by Gilligan. Paddock
muffed Cooney's fly. and when Gilligan
threw Bassey's bunt away Seaton and
Coonoy scored and Bassey took second.
Ho then stole third and scored on Adams'
squeeze bunt.
Portland was pretty lucky to get that
trio, for Vancouver collected two more
in the sixth. Paddock beat out an infield
hit and Sugden singled to right, both
scoring on Gllligan's two-bagger to left.
In the seventh Jimmy Vlynn got tangled
up. and after calling Paddock, the. third
man. out at first, be made it necessary
for the Portland players to get Swain,
who bsl overrun third. This changing
decisions is bad buslirfes3, but it was not
any worse than the game itself.
The official score is as follows:

THA" was an awful woozy exhibl-
tion of baseball yesterday. Gilli
gan was the original strong-armed kid.
After one of these games ball play
ers usually get back to earth, so we
can expect better ball today.
Jack Hannah wore a Portland uni
form yesterday, and the lad showed up
fairly well. He muffed a fly ball but
so did Dell Paddock of the Vancouver
ltes. Jimmy Flynn got bumped by a high
pitched ball, and if any one doubts
Gllligan's speed, they can ask Flynn
he knows.'
Quigley pulled off a joke play in the
second which gave Portland one run.
With runners on third and first Hannah
hit to Quigley, who did not know

Old Joe Sugden may not be the best
throwing catcher in the world, but
there are mighty few bases stolen
on the veteran when his pitchers hold
the runners close to the bags. He
tossed out "Speed Marvel" Cooney with
a yard to spare in the eighth.
The San Francisco fans will soon be
so accustomed to these long games
that they won't patronize the regula
tion nine-inning affairs. Not the "mar
athon" pulled oft yesterday.
San Francisco' will be in a bad way
if that long-distance contest afreets
Browning as the 24-lnning game seems
to have Henley.
That slogan, "You'll Like Tacoma."
must have been invented for the benefit
of a rotund person named D. E. Dug
dale. He is about the only baseball
personage in the Northwest who does
like that burg's ball team.
...
Howard Guyn was sent in to pitch
yesterday and did very well for a
youngster whose total work in a month
has not been a full game. Jimmy
Whalen had" the McCredieites buffa
loed. Curtis Coleman, the ex-University of
Oregon football and baseball player,
is now leading off for the Tacoma
Club. However, "Wild Bill" Hurley
tries a new man to lead off nearly
every day. so the Oregon boy's batting
position is not permanent yet.
Pearl Casey warmed up with the
team yesterday and seems to be round
ing to nicely. "Der Gapdan" may be
In the game soon. And we'll all be
pleased when he is. He's badly needed.
Crowd Jeers Fighters.
BOSTON. June 23. Joe Jeanette and
Sandy Ferguson put up such an inferior
article of fight at the Armory Athletic
Association last night that the crowd
took a hand by demanding that they be
taken out of the ring. Jeers accompa
nied the demands, which were in evidence
throughout the bout. It was a 12-round
battle in which Ferguson -did the most
work. Sandy knocked his man down In
the first round, but otherwise the contest
was featureless. Ferguson received the
decision, but many spectators declared
the decision should have been a draw.

SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 23. Spe
cial.) Sacramento took the second game
of the series today from Portland by a
score of three to one. Like yesterday's
game, the Senators gained their vic
tory through a turee bagger by Jansing.
His drive to the left field fence in the
seventh scored Flanagan and House. The
third run for the local team was made in
the eighth, when Guyn walked Shinn and
Doyle with one out and Gandil slammed
a two-base hit to center field, scoring
Shinn.
Portland made its lonely run in the
second by McCredie's liner down to third
base. Johnson, walked but was doubled
out by playing oft first when Ort bunted
a pop fly to Whalen. McCredie gained
third on Graham's wild throw to second,
and scored on Fisher's single.
The Beavers came near doing business
In the third, when Guyn started off by
singling to right. He was sacrificed to
second by Olson. Breen walked and
yf ?,hit to r'ht fleld filled the bases.
McCredie s grounder to Raymer caused
Breen to be shut out at the plate.
With two out in the eighth, Olson made
a desperate attempt to steal home Just
as Whalen was getting ready to wind up.
McCredie was at the bat, but could not
interfere and Graham tagged the runner.
Olson said it was a balk, but Toman
turned his back to the protest

LIVESTOCK BIG FEATURE
Show Next Fall Promises to Be the
Most Important of the Kind Ever
Held in Oregon California
Support Assured.
Portland's second annual . a ,.
race meet and livestock exposition was
lurmauy launched yesterday afternoon,
at a meeting of the directors of the
Portland Fair and Livestock Associa
tion. Fifteen directors were present.
They reviewed the plans and results
of the show held last September and
were of one opinion, and that was that
it was not comprehensive enough. Ac
tion was taken later to develop the
project along lines that will place Port
land on a turf and livestock footing
equal to that of any city In the West.
Reports were received showing the
attendance, entries, awards and net re
turns from leading shows in other
parts of the country, and an effort will
be made to surpass any such exposi
tions which have taken place west of
the Mississippi River.
It was brought out in the report
of M. D. Wisdom, secretary of the
North Pacific Fair Circuit, who has
only recently returned from an ex
tensive trip through California, that
Portland can rely on much more sub
stantial support from that state than
was given a year ago, because horse
men and livestock breeders who were
here a year ago have been convinced
that Portland has not. only the fastest
race course in the Northwest, but can
aggregate a higher-grade of pure-bred
stock for the show-ring than any other
city in this part of the country. De
tails of the Southern nominations for
the six days of races and for the en
tries in the stock exhibits were given.
The handling of crowds was the first
matter passed on, and it was decided
to have a committee of leading busi
ness men confer with President Josse
lyn, of the Portland. Railway, Light
& Power Company, with reference to
securing" an extension of the double
track Montavilla carllne to the south
entrance to the grounds. President
W. H. Werung appointed the follow
ing directors on this committee, with
instructions to take the problem up
with the streetcar authorities at once:
E. L. Thompson, chairman; T.'B. Wil
cox, J. C. Ainsworth, Julius L. Meier
and W. P. Olds. The transportation
question was argued at length and it'
was the unanimous opinion of the di
rectors present that two through car
lines, the Rose City Park and the Mon
tavilla lines, were absolutely necessary
for the quick dispatch of the crowds.
As soon as the committee has organ
ized it will call on President Josselyn
of the street railway company.
Emphasis was placed on the fact that
Portland, this year, has a much better
opportunity for making a National rep
utation for its exposition for the reason
that the meet here will come during
the week between the State Fair at
Salem and the fortnight of races and
stock show at the A-Y-P Fair at Se
attle, each of which attracts its
strong individual features, all of which
will be embraced In the programme
here the week of September 20-25.
