Let ....4'.; 74-r, 03i43t In the last half of the ninth Inning of the last (tame of the Vancouver series yesterday Portland had a chance to tie up the proceedings. IT not to win the game, but Dick Breen and Manager Casey fell down In the pinch and. the contest ended by the Canucks winning' with a 4-to-3 score. Incidentally It gave Dick eon's crew six out of the eight games piayed and greatly lessened Casey's chances of arriving at the coveted .500 per cent mark before the end of the season. Bing short of pitchers, Casey trotted out Tom Seaton for the fourth time in eipht days, and like his previous ap pearances Tom lost another game. How ever, it was not altogether his fault, for had he been accorded good support In the fifth inning when Vancouver chased four runs over. Tom might have walked away with only two runs charged to him. , Kurt Looked Good. The' first run of the game was'garnered by the home club in the second inning when Kennedy scored on his two-base hit, Staton's sacrifice and a fielder's choice. This run looked good enough to win, until Vancouver held a rally in the fifth. - Smith opened the innlnff with a single to right and Sugden followed with one to Eassey's territory. Errickson fanned and Casey filled the bases by an error on Davis- infield tap. With the Portland lnf.eld playing close, Cartwright shoved on.' over the middle sack and Smith and Sugden registered. Jack Flanagan, the recent Coos Bay Leaguer, then sent a hunter to Breen. forcing Davis at third. Cartwright and Flanagan pulled off the double steal, and when Staton threw Swain's bounder badly to first, two more runs scored. Mahon's out ended the in ning and the score board registered 4 for Vancouver and 1 for the home club. Ixse Only Chance.. In the ninth the Colts threatened. They succeeded in putting two runs across and had the bases populated with none out. Staton opened the Inning with a single and when Swain muffed Smith's throw of Crocker's grounder In the effort to get Billy at second, two were on and Swain's second error on Fournler's grounder filled the bases. "Red" Mullin was delegated to bat for Seaton arid hit to Cartwright. who booted, and Staton scored. A pass to Adams scored Crocker by the force route as the bases continued populous. Dick Breen tried to hit It out but his effort was a pop fly to Sugden and then came Casey's turn. The manager gave the hit-and-run signal, but he failed to get his bunt to one side and Errickson fielded it In the alley, "and tossing' to Sugden retired Fournler and "Old Joe's" relay to Cartwright nipped Casey by a close, margin and the game was over. Seattle Comes Next. Seattle opens here this afternoon. Dug dale's crew Is scheduled to play seven games, but It Is quite likely that at least eight will be played, for the customary Sunday double-header, owing to past post ponements, will be in order. There was no double-header with Vancouver because that club had no postponed games here. During the coming series and Including this afternoon's game, the play will start at 3 o'clock .instead of 3:30 The official score of yesterday's game is as follows: VANCOUVER. AB R H PO A E Davis.

HOPES TO REDUCE XCMBER OF DROWNINGS. Novel Plan Is Adopted by Which Every Member Will Learn to ' Be at Home Water. In hope of reducing In future the large number of drownings In the Willamette River which hare been recorded every Summer, the Toung Men's Christian Asso ciation has started a movement to teach to swim every one of the 3000 members of the organization who Is not already familiar with the aquatic art. Although members of the Association of course wtll not be compelled to learn to swim, the Importance of doing so will be urged upon them and a novel plan has been adopted to make this result possible. Under the scheme that haa been worked out by Physical Director Grllley, each member of the Association who Is him self a good swimmer will be asked to In struct some member who does not know how to swim until the latter Is thoroughly at home In the water. All who register In the physical department will be asked if they can swim, and those who can will be paired off with those who cannot. A certain period will then be set aside for regular Instruction in the big tank in the basement of the Association building. All of the volunteer teachers will themselves be under direction of I. M. Jlye, the swimming Instructor. v The facilities) for swimming will be of the best. The tank is 20xt feet and varies In dopth-from 3V4 .to feet.- It will be electric lighted at the bottom and will afford opportunity to members of the Association to learn swimming In perfect safety. ' "The T. M. C. A. Intends to do Its part to lessen the appalling number of drown ings In Portland," said Mr. Grllley, last night. "Already hundreds of boys have learned to swim through the efforts of the Association but in future we intend to pay particular attention to this sport. We hope every member who does not know how to swim will be able to do so before the end of the coming Winter. "There, have been 17 drownings in Port land this Summer and the large majority of the victims were boys and young men -hn ventured in the river without suf ficient knowledge of swimming. Of course i one In a while a gooa swimmer is seised with cramps and drowned, but this occurs In comparatively few instances. Such organisations as the T. M. C. A. by instrocting boys, where there is no danger, how to take care of themselves in deep water will materially tAuc the number of drownings."

Portland and Sacramento broke even on the double-header this afternoon, the locals winning the firet game by a 6 to 2 score, but the second. a seven Inning match, went to the Beavers, 2 to 1. Both games were snappy, the drub bing given Harkness being glee for the home team rooters. McCredie won the last game for his team by a timely bin gle. Sacramento started in early to take the first game with Darrlnger making his maiden triple In the Coast League. Gan dil's drive past the pitcher scored the first run. Myers aleo singled in the first Inning. The Senators fell on Speck's offerings In the fourth for two runs. Myers opaned with a single, was sacri ficed to second by Raymer and scored from that station on Doyle's hit to left. The demon purloined , second and com pleted the circuit when Flanagan made a long hit to center. Raymer trounced out another single, but the baserunners were killed off without further damage. Fisher ushered In the fifth frame with a revengeful triple far out in right field. Johnson and Ort fanned, but still things brightened up for the Beavers when Dar rlnger dropped a foul fly off Speas' bat. This set Baura up In the air and he walked both Speas and Harkness, filling the bases. Cooney miased the chance of his life by popping out to Shlnn. The next Inning put Portland into the running, with Olson hitting and scoring on Graney's long triple to 'right center. Fisher chased the second run over with a single to center. Johnson was walked, but Darringer's wonderful one-hand stab of Speas' cannon drive lowered Port land's hopes. Sacramento came back. In the sixth, with Raymer and Doyle singling and scoring on Flanagan's long hit to center. Harknes3 settled down after that and fanned the next two lawmakers. Portland set out early to take the game It should have won Thursday morning, but whiclt went a tie. Fieher led the way with a single and scored on Johnson's triple in the second inning. Sacramento tied the score In , the fourth with hits from Raymer and Flanagan after two were down. Brown led off the next In ning and Gandil in the sixth with nice singles. But Guyn was stingy with his hltfi, refusing enough for runs. Cooney laid out a dandy bunt In the sixth, was sacrificed by Olson, advanced another on Graney's out and scored on McCredie's hits Score: . " First Game. . PORTLAND.

A very Important news story In The Oregonlan yesterday the purchase of the , entire Hood River - Mosier apple crop, by a big Eastern concern should be memorized and then filed-away for reference by every man interested' in the .development of this state. . So far as it relates to our fruit industry, the record of this transaction, based on facts, is worth tons of advertising generalities. True, the Mlssourlan will not accept It at its face value; It sounds too big. Crops of $500 to 1750 an. acre from trees ten to twelve years old, appear impossible in the minds of men not familiar with the productiveness of , Oregon orchards. True, also. It is that this year's price for the best-looking apples in the world is exceptionally high, yet the demand at top - notch figures is far in excess of the supply. Oregon has never produced more than a fraction of what the world would buy if it could get them. Tear in and year out, prices high or only moderate, no branch of horti culture is so safe and so uniformly profitable as Oregon apples. Orchard lsts who spray ' diligently and prune intelligently are ceTtaln, not only of large yields, but perfect fruit. Our soil ' and climate may always be de pended on. Experience for a period of more than sixty years abundantly proves that our apple crop never fails. The quality of the fruit speaks for itself. Probably not one- hundredth part of the land adapted to. successful apple growing is now under cultivation. There is no danger in the present gen eration, at least, of over production. Oregon apples do not- have to be rushed to market, like deciduous and citr.us fruits of California. Our good keepers, which make up 75 or SO per cent of the crop in modern orchards, are better four months after harvest than the day they were picked. They find quite as ready a market In Vladi vostok, Melbourne or London as in Kansas City, New York or Astoria, and at equally good prices. Freight is a negligible factor. We hear a great deaf about Eastern capitalists buying large Oregon or chards at prices away up In the thou sands, and getting net returns of 20 to 40 per cent a year. These trans actions carry with them the idea that horticulture in favored . sections of this state is a rich man's game. It Is; but it is also the poor man's road to fortune. There are untold acres avail able for apples when the land ' la cleared, to be had for a song. To be sure, hard work is necessary, but the reward Is as certain as from any other agricultural pur-ult. In Oregon, the strugfc-llng young man is able, before his orchard comes into bearing, to raise berries and vegetables between the rows at good profit. Middle West farmers would consider $100 an acre for potatoes not a bad result in itself. With every year the fame of Ore gon apples becomes wider spread. Their cultivation is especially attract ive. At permanent prices one - half lower than prevail this year, the In dustry would pay better, taken one season with another, than any other line of horticulture. Oregon needs more men to plant and cultivate apple orchards. Energetic young men with Just enough money to make a start, are desired. Within ten years a 10 acre orchard will yield larger net re turns than an average 80-acre farm in Kansas or Nebraska, and with far less eifort.
