Speck was on edge and held the situa tion In hand except for a temporary lapse In the fifth when he underestimated Mott's batting ability and sent him a straight one which never stopped until It reposed In the Exposition grounds back of the right field fence. The rest of the game was one. two. three, and through all Vernon had but one man left on bases. Two baserunners who had hit were caught trying to steal, while an other went out on a double. Plfher Rrac-kenridse for VerVion start ed out wild but effective, and up to the sixth displayed remarkable ability In working out of holes. He went wild In the sixth and allowed two scores. whil.3 a Beaver hatfest in the eigth counted for three more Portland runs. Vernon fielded rnorly. but their foniles could not be charged as the cause of losing the game, as it was tie pitcher all through who was t fault. In the first he started the trounle by passing Olsen and then over threw second when Olsen tried to steal, letting the baserunner go on to third. Then a passed ball completed the fiasco and gave the rtrst score. Mott's homer tied things up in the fifth, hut !:i the sixth Kvin and Graney drew passes and Ort slammed out a single which scored them both. 'In the eighth four hits netted three runs, and the fans left wondering where Happy Hogan would gn to hunt an elixir .of life for those decrepit ball players of his. Speas hit and scored on liraneys drive. Then Johnson's hit and Ort's drive scored them both. Brackenrldge worked out of a bad place In the third stanza when the bases were rv.i v :tli hut one down, but a force at ti e plate a-.ni a grounder to Mott made the fans ait several innings longer be fore seeing the game sewed up. The fielding of the Beavers was one of the redeeming features of the game. Thev put up a snappy exhibition that was a marked contrast to the rough work of the Vcrnonites. Ort's work on first and on bases was epecia!lv strong. Once, in the sixth, he made a freak catch of a high foul after a trd run and was given a big hand by the ladies. Everybody In the crowd except Jess Stovall. who was batting, liked the play. Olsen pulled off some quick throws to first In which he was perhaps helped a bit by hi umplets. Mr. Toman. Most of Portland's stolen bases are to be charged to poor handling of the ball by the men who attempted to hold down the Vernon infield. Frown's pegging was quick and accurate, but after almost every play the little round ball would be seen repining in the dust. The official core: VERNON.

FANDOM AT RANDOM THE Beavers are now .00018 points behind the Angels in the race for second place. This In the face of Henry Berry's big noise about "Cali fornia teams beating Portland with such exasperating regularity." Brackenrldge made a pretty para chute descent after a fine balloon as cension In the third. With two walks and a hit things looked squally, but he pulled out bravely. Umpire Toman was something of a homer yesterday In his decisions, and the crowd called him for it. He called Martlnke out In the second when he seemed clearly safe, but evened up later In calling Ort out on a closer play. Olson scored In the first from third on a passed ball which Brown dropped and which struck Umpire Toman. Ol son then had a free pass to the plate. "Little Jack" Grancy fell and rolled In the dust as he was rounding third on Johnson's hit" In the eighth. He could have scored, but did so anyway on Ort's hit just after. This Is the second tumble Graney has taken this week. The Beavers have now taken four straight from Vernon and are crowd ing second place as closely as possible. Now. if Frisco would only drop a game or two there might still be some ex citement found 'in the league race. Ort's speed in diving to first on Mott's drive in the eighth showed some heady and quick baseball. The ball was sent behind first and the base man had a hard chase, which he only won out by taking a long dive feet first. Jensen, who once belonged to the Portland Coast League team, won against Seattle for Spokane yesterday with a wide margin. Aberdeen won, too. so the Northwest race is begin ning to be somewhat interesting. Ote Johnson's double was a sharp drive of the first ball pitched In the fourth. Ote went on to third on a passed ball, but was caught napping off third. Two double plays relieved the situa tion yesterday. Both were flies to the outfield, which were relayed back to catch the returning baserunners. a When Breen flew out In the second with Ort on first the latter stood a few feet off first and seemed to be mired down and was doubled out when all he needed was a step to make first. "Handsome Anson" Mott. known hitherto to the fans as "Mutt." dis tinguished himself with a homer. Mott has been playing good ball during the series, both in batting and fielding, and seems to have been made over since his last trip North. Speck Harkness. who used to be called a batting pitcher, fanned twice yesterday and then seemed surprised when he popped a fly to the outfield. Cheer up. Speck, you can pitch, any way. "Little Jack" Graney was robbed of a double by the official scorer in 'the eighth when he scored Speas. Graney went to second when Stovall handled the ball a trifle slow and was given but a single, while Jess drew an error. PRESENTS E TO BEAVERS Ten-Inning Session Ended by Kansas City Star Letting Adams' Hit Get By. ! COLTS START UP IN FIFTH Two-to-Two Tie Changed to Four Two Score When Annis Blows . Up In First Extra Inning. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 13. (Special.) Tommie Downfe, late of Kansas City, presented Portland with today's game by allowing Adams' hit to go through him to left field, where Hurley fumbled it. Two runs came in. ending the 10-inning game by a scor of 4 to 2. Annis, who has been pitching remark able ball, lost control In the first half of the tenth round. Crocker, the first man up, got a hit to left field, but Murray and Pinnance were easy outs. Bassey and Cooney drew free tickets. With the sacks full Adams hit 'a swift grounder to Downie, who missed It, Crocker and Bas sey scoring. The Tigers went out one, twc. three in their half of the round. Chinault was sent to the mound to do the twirling for the Colts, but he had poor control, passing four men in two innings. In the second Kippert, first up, was an easy out. Irby drew a pass and stole second, and Downie brought him home with a two-base swat to right field fence, later scoring on a wild pitch. Two other men drew passes in this inning, but they did not count in the scoring. Chinault was sent to the bench and Pin nance took his place, after which the Tigers failed to score. The Colts got their first run in the fifth, when Annis passed Ward and hit Kennedy amidships. Staton advanced them with a sacrifice, and Ward scored on Crocker's long sacrifice fly. They tied the score In the eighth. Crocker got a Texas leaguer. Murray laid down a per fect bunt, and beat it out. Pinnance was out for bunting third strike, and Bassey flew out to right, but Crocker beat the throw to third, which proved a strong factor In winning the game, for Cooney's hit was scratchy, the ball taking a bad bound and hitting Downey in the chest. Before he could recover Phil was safe, and Crocker was over the pan. TACOMA.

MEANS END OF CONTINUOUS Manager Says Fans Here Do Not Care for Game Evrfy Day and in South Scheme Has Not Been Great Success Financially. The following article is from the sporting page of a Los Angeles news paper, and contains a quotation from Henry Berry indicating that worthy gentleman has been suffering from something of a peev recently: Look out for squall, in the Paciflo Coast League. Walter McCredie has been carrying a chip around on hia shoulder for many months and the Portland magnate is bound to stir up a row before long. McCredie s demand Is that the league become an eight club affair, tour teams in California and four in the Northwest. He also wants J. Cal Ewlng ousted from the presidential ChHenry Berry, who Is looked upon in all quarters as the next president of the Coast ers, handles the controversy as follows: 'Mc Credie is unreasonable to say the least. The present arrangement Is a big success, finan cially and otherwise. The 'continuous scheme In Los Angeles ha. worked out well, far better than we anticipated. Portland Is drawing big crowds and every other city In the league is supporting the game in great style. McCredie's eight-club scheme would mean the breaking up of the -continuous schedule in the Southland. This I will never agree to. . "The only real reason we can allow for McCredie's peevishness 1. that-he 1. sore because the California teams beat the Port lander, with such exasperatlr.g regularity. Walter McCredie denied last night he had ever made any demand or even a request for an eight-club circuit, but stated unhesitatingly he did favor an eight-club league. "This doesn't amount to anything," said McCredie, when shown the Los An geles article. "Los Angeles has been losing heavily this year, and certainly has not been a money-maker for the league with its continuous baseball. There are only three towns in the league which have been making money; these are Portland, San Fran cisco and Oakland. "Berry is right when he says Port land is drawing big crowds, but he goes too far in saying every other city in the league is supporting the game in great style. Los Angeles, Sacramento and Vernon are bringing nothing to the league except a loss, and they will have to show pretty strong reasons why there should be continuous ball in the South next season. "An eight-club league will also do away with continuous ball in this town. We are not crying about it. The fans here do not want continuous ball any more, and if they do not in Portland, where the game is at Its best, how can this be in Los Angeles?" Y. M. C. A.

"Kid" (Louis) Scaler. liRhtweiBht pu gilist, who has achieved some degree of fame in Washington and California, is In Portland with an Idea that he can re open the fight game here. Scaler, who comes from Spokane, thinks he can get past the laws regulating prizefights here by organizing an "athletic club" with memberships of one week's duration, which will really constitute an admission to a contest, the contests to be 10 .rounds and no decisions. He therefore comes out with a challenge to meet any light weight on earth in Portland for a 10 round go. Scaler has Just returned from British Columbia, where he won three fights. Hn says that in his last go with Eddie Marino he put the latter in the hospital for three weeks by breaking three ribs. He claims to be matched with the win ner of the Hyland-Franey go slated for August 30, for 20 rounds at Colma. About a year ago Scaler tried this same system of reopening the fight game in Spokane, when he organized an ath letic club for a match with Abe Attell. The authorities there made short work of the proposition and forced Scaler's managers to leave town under penalty of being vagged. He tried to carry the fights over to Idaho, and again fell into disre pute with the authorities. Scaler has been challenging Bat Nelson an average of once a month for the last few years.
