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

WILL TEACH SWIllG
V. M. C. A. 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."

SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. 12.-(9pe-ctal.)
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: . "

OREGON APPLES.
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.
FUST OVAL FASTER
Track at Country Club Giv.en
Final Dressing Down. '
GOOD SHOWS PROMISED
Improved. Conditions Make Success
of Sext Week's Fair Certain.
Spokane Refuses to Ad
just Date. v .
Expert trackmen will this week give
the speedy oval at the Country Club a
final dressing down .in preparation for
the races of the Portland Fair & Live
stock Show next week. The track was
a trifle hard last season, but it will be
given a soft cushion this year, with the
expectation of making- it a second or two
faster. Numerous records for the Pa
cific Coast were smashed last year, its
first season in the North Pacific circuit.
Workmen are preparing the ten racing
stables for the reception of the tasr turr
performers which will begin to arrive
here the last of the week. Several prize
herds for the show ring from Middle
Western and Eastern points are due at
the grounds about the middle of the week
in order to give the caretakers a chance
to groom them and allow them to re
cover from the long Journey by rail.
Stocking the barns with hay, grain and
bedding has been ordered by the super
intendent of the stock exhibits, and
when the Fair opens, the grounds, build
ings and other equipment will be In
much better shape than a year ago. Last
year the accommodations for the several
hundred people who made their quarters
on the grounds during the week and for
the stock and horses were Inadequate.
Among the latest and most important
entries for the show ring to be received
are two herds of choice cattle from New
England. ' They are Dutch Belted tock,
from the farm of F. R. Saunders, Bris
tol, N. H.. and they are to be seen at
the State Fair at Salem this week, and
will be sent here in the pink of form.
Better talent and a larger card will
compete in the turf events and in the
judges' ring this year, in spite of tho
fact that Spokane tried to detract from
the Interest in the local show by paral
leling the Portland dates. This is the
first time in the history of fairs and
races in the Northwest that any city has
refused to adjust Its dates to the con
venience of exhibitors and horsemen In
following the natural order of the cir
cuit. Seattle and the A-T-P Exposition peo
ple deferred entirely to the wishes, of
the Oregon State Fair and the Port
land management.
Nearly 50 local business houses, hotels,
theaters and other concerns have donated
prizes for the holders of winning but
tons on "Button day," Tuesday, Sep
tember 21.
