Buddy Ryan's two-base smash which scored Billy Speas with the only run of the game, AI Carson kept up the white washing record of the Portland team yes terday by making it five straight games in which the McCredieites have blanked the opposing nine, Oakland being sent to the cars runless In nine innings. At that Billy Reidy's rejuvenated bunch somewhat crippled by the absence of an outfielder to take Howard Murphy's place, played snappy ball all the time. Billy Christian pitched for the Oaks and really s?ot away with his game much less dam aged than was expected, for he seemed to depend solely on a slow ball. How ever, it fooled the Portlanders nearly all of the time. Despite his good work. Christian lost ills game in the third Inning, when, with two out. Speas singled to right and Ryan cent .him over the register with a two base smash to the same garden. Ryan was then thrown ont at the plate for the second time in the game on a hit to left field by Walter McCredle. Duffy Lewis making two perfect throws to Carl Lewis. Ryan's first effort at gaining the plate was nipped In the first inning. He bad forced Speas at second and followed this by stealing the bag. and when McCredle laced his first hit to left Lewis pegged Jtyan out neatly. In the sixth inning Cameron led off with a single, only to be doubled out when Will Hogan hit to Dick Breen. who tossed to Olson, who heaved to Ort ahead of Hogan. This play was practically du plicated In the ninth, for Cameron had reached first on another single, but Mc Kune hit to Olson and another double play resulted. The whitewashing record established by the Portland team is the talk of the fans all over the city. Such a series of vic tories has Increased the enthusiasm greatly, and now that the boys have taken the first game away from the Oakland team, they expect further successes. To day the "Little Giant." Jesse Garrett, is due to assail the Oaklanders, and op posed to him will be Tonneson, who is looked upon as one of the hardest pitch ers to beat in the league.

Bobby Lowe, once upon & time the most famous inflelder in the big leagues, who is now scouting for De troit, was one of the interested spec tators. He admitted that the Coast League is playing a better brand of baseball than was the American Asso ciation. Billy Reldy. Bobby Lowe and Fielder Jones, all former major leaguers, held an interesting fanning bee. Lowe and Jones told Reldy he was playing a mean trick on them by sticking with the game. "Why, even Van Haltren had sense enough to quit," remarked Lowe. s s Duffy Lewis continues to play re markable ball, and the double-cross must have been used when St. Louis took Murphy Instead of Lewis. The continual visits of the big league couts keep the managers busy setting prices and quoting terms. However, McCredie has none for sale, but will trade any time, providing he gets two or three men for one. The playing of Olson and Breen was ne of the features of yesterday's game. Between the two nothing got by that Infield when hits would have meant runs for the Oaklanders. According to the San Francisco Bul letin expert. Kid Mohler is now taking some notice of Portland. Funny how the Seals never figured Portland until the Angels dropped six straight. How ever, there are many things funnier than that in San Francisco. s Bill Reldy announces that he expects an outfielder to Join his team here this eek. He needs one. for Micky La Longe is too good a catcher to be played in the garden. V V w Still the hopeless Colts keep sliding earer and nearer to the cellar posi tion. Nine straight defeats now, and goodness knows how many more are likely to follow. That club has been in eed of a couple of players for a long time, but there is little chance of get ting any at this stage of the season. Tacoma put one over on Miquel Lynch and the Dugdale bunch, and if the Tigers would only repeat this a few times, Dugdale will be Importing some "more" big league talent. Chief Pinnance emulated the example of Bleriot In the eighth inning yester day. He aeroplaned so far that Van couver had not the least semblance of trouble In hooking a game which ap parently belonged to the hopeless ones. VANCOUVER. B. C, July 27. (Spe cial.) Portland led the Champions along until the eighth inning of today's game, when the Champions started the fireworks, and three safe hits, com bined with a pass, a double steal and Adams' wild heave to third gave the champions four runs. Final score Vancouver 5, Portland 2. Big Chief Pinnance had the game well in hand up until the time that Jack Gllligan started the Beavers' bat ting streak. Four hits were all that the visitors allowed up to that time. Nordyke's homer giving the Champions their first run. In the eighth, the bal loon ascended and the Champions got a commanding lead in the run column. Gllligan held Portland xo three hits. In the second Inning the Colts tallied once In a fielder's choice, a pass and a double steal, while their second run was scored In the third inning. Bassey singled, stole second and came home on Adams' hit. After that Gllligan had the visitors at his mercy and they were retired in one. two. three order. Pin nance got a single in" the eighth, but he was stranded there. Two fast dou ble plays by the Champions were the only fielding features. Tonight Manager Dickson announced that he had signed Dave Flanagan, a brother of the famous -Pat, and the new outfielder will be here by the end of the week. He also expects to land Pat Flanagan before the end of the week- Score: . PORTLAND. If. Bassey, Cooney, ss. Adams. 2b... Meyer, rf . . . . Kennedy, lb. Staton. 3b... Crocker, cf . . Fournier. c. .

John Marsh, of Winnipeg, holder of the American record for the Marathon distance, and Alfred Shrubb, the noted English runner, probably will be matched to race here Saturday. August 14. Marsh has been In the city during the past few days and through an arrangement made with Con Jones, the local athletic pro moter, agreed to race Shrubb In a 15-mile match at Recreation, Park. Jones offered to hang up a purse for 11600, the winner to take 31200 and the loser $300. Shrubb has been wired-and if a favorable answer is received the match will be on. Marsh is the only man in America who has a victory over Shrubb to his credit at 15 miles. Following the proposed race here Marsh will go to Spokane to run In a big Marathon Derby to be held there next month. Thence he goes to Seattle to run in the Marathon there Labor day. He says he Is willing to bet $500 on his chances against Shrubb. SCORING OP RUNNER RIGHT St. Helens Resident Tells of Dia mond Collision and Writes Query. ST. HELENS, Or.. July 26. (To the Sporting Editor. Orogonlan.) Will you please give your ruling on the following play, which occurred in a game between St. Helens and Kalama. July 24? The score was a tie until the last half of the ninth, when & batter hit a ball which, under or dinary circumstances would have been a home run. In running from second to third he collided with the third baseman, who was standing two feet inside the line. The Impact stopped the runner long enough for the ball to be fielded in time to hold him third, but the umpire allowed him to score. The grounds were not enclosed and no ground rules were made on a hit of this kind. 1 would like to know whether the ruling allowing . the man to score was right. M. Lt. BTOUPAKU. Your query is rather indefinite as to fhe circumstances of the collision, but If the third baseman occupied the - lino while not fielding the ball, he evidently Intended an Interference and the runner should score.

Annis, another re cruit from the Intermountair League, who pitched for Tacoma, was hit freely, but kept his hits scattered, except In one inning.

Vanderbilfs Marcaurele won the Prix Avilly today at Chantilly, SMITH INCIDENT EXPLAINED Reldy Says He Left Disputed Player at Home Because He Did Not Receive Answer to Message Sent McCredies. BY W. J. PETRAIN. Bobby Lowe is the latest of the big league scouts to visit Portland for the purpose of sizing up the baseball talent now doing duty in the Pacific Coast League. x He- represents the Detroit Tigers, two-time champlorjs of the Am erican League, and whose present gait indicates the winning of a third pennant. A few years back the name of Bobby Lowe was one of the most idolized in fandom, for in his day he was known as one of the greatest Inflelders the game ever knew. In some quarters he was heralded as even a greater fielder than W. F. "Bones" Ely, to whom many critics even now extend the palm for superiority at the fielding game. As a batter he was Ely's superior, for "Bones" was always noted as a poor batsman, wnereas Lowe could biff the ball frequently. Lowe wound up his baseball career with Detroit several seasons ago, but last year he played a little and managed a team In a minor league. As the drafting period approached the Detroit Club im pressed Lowe Into action as a scout, and in that capacity he is on the Coast. He will spend several days In Portland and then journey north to Puget Sound, and from there he intends going to Canada, where he will look over the talent playing in the Western Canada League, which comprises the towns of Medicine Hat, Moose Jaw, Edmonton and other places. During his stay on the Coast Lowe has seen some fine baseball, and declared yes terday's game between Oakland and Portland as one of the best he had seen this season. ' "That kind of ball ought to get the money anywhere," said Lowe. "I don't believe lt can be beaten anywhere outside of the major leagues. The Portland team looks like a winning club, and I like sev eral of the players, who I think are ripe for fastt company. Lowe met Fielder Jones at the game, and the two former stars chatted of old times. Billy Reldy, manager of the Oak land club, is also a former big leaguer and an old pal of both. They enjoyed joshing Reidy, who took it good na turally. Reldy announced last night that Slim Nelson, the human interrogation point, would Join the club here today or tomor row. Nelson remained behind because of the serious illness of his father, who un derwent an operation at Oakland, but has rallied nicely. Reidy also expects an out fielder to join him here this week. In speaking of the Jimmy Smith incident, Reidy said: "I fully expected to bring Jimmy Smith north with me, and telegraphed Walter McCredie for permission to do so, but he did not respond to my telegram, so I left Smith behind. I do not want to use any player who belongs, to another club and whose playing with my club might be objectionable, so I took McCredle's failure to reply as a refusal to allow Smith to join my club. We are somewhat handicapped by the loss of Murphy, but I expect another player soon, who will All an outfield position. Ragan, our regu lar shortstop, hurt his wrist last week. and I have been forced to play young Qulgley in his place. This boy shows signs of becoming a star, and I like his work very much." Speaking of the Portland team, Reidy said: 'The fast clip Portland is playing now justifies my prediction, made several weeks ago, when Los Angeles was lead ing McCredie by seven or eight games, and every one down south picked Los Angeles as the runner-up. At that time I told Danny Long and Kid Mohler that the team they would have to beat was Portland, and they hardly figured lt at all. At the present rate of ball Mc Credle's bunch Is playing. San Francisco is going to have a hard job of holding the lead. "We played the Seals to a standstill last week, and should have won five out of the seven games, but luck broke against us and they got four out of the seven. Still I hope to beat that bunch yet, and if Portland wins the pennant, just figure out how much Oakland helps It by reversing San Francisco. I don't expect my club to get much higher In the race this year, though my ambition is to beat Sacramento out. However, if I can hold near an even break from now on, I shall be satisfied and am figuring on bet ter prospects for next season." Reldy announced that Tonneson would pitch for Oakland today, which means that Portland will be pitted against one of the cleverest southpaws in the league.
