The Portland Beavers celebrated their liome-L-oniing by administering a coat of whitewash to the Los Angeles crew yesterday. 4 to 0. Howard Guyn occu pied the mound for the Beavers, and the Los Angeles herd could not touch him when hits counted. The boy worked like a major leaguer, and the rest of the team played like demons behind him. Their opponents didn't have a ghost of a show at any staere of the Fame. On the other hand. .Thorsen, the Angels" offering, was in hot water In nearly -every inning, for the Beavers had 10 men left on bases. The South ern crowd is badly crippled. Beall. their regular right fielder, was on first yesterday and George Wheelet played right field. Los Angeles got only five hits off the Beaver slabster. and three of those were. Infield singles. The, closest the visitors came .to connecting with the register was In the second frame. How ard tripled to left center with one man out. but died there due to two brilliant stops on the part of Olson, the' scrappy shortstop. Once, again, they got a man to third base, only to have him left at the post. That was when Smith beat out a bunt to Johnson, took second on Delmas' sacrifice and third on a hunt to Cooney. - Cooney got a hit In the first inning, was sacrificed to second by Olson, but tiled there because Graney and John son flew out. In the second the Beaver boys put one over the pan on .Manager McCredie's three-bagger and Howard's error. Ort beat out an ln-fl-ld hit. to the pitcher in the fourth frame and when the latter threw It to tlie netting tne first baseman took third and scored on Speas' long fly to left field. . - The locals got another In the fifth on a base on balls, a wild pitch, an out and Ote Johnsor.'a hit-to right. The Beavers had three men on bases In this inning with two men out. Fisher played off first to draw the throw and to try for a triple steal, but John son, .who was on third, was caught at tlie plate. The Beavers scored their last one in the cjghth canto on an error, a free pass, a hit and another free- ticket that forced the runner In. The sacks were loaded at this Junc ture, but the best Olson could do waa to whiff at three and the side was out. The official score follows: LOS ANGELES. AB R H PO A I'alv. cf ..... 4 o s a o -.oaln.

FANS ON ANXIOUS SEAT Bearers Reaching, for Pennant With More Hope EacK Day Henley Is Pelted, ' , Mohler Spiked. Heat Hit Others.' SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. SI. (Spe cial.) The San Francisco bunch of baseball players is In a badly .crippled condition, and. while there Is no feel ing on the part of the management that the pennant will be lost, the fans are none too sure of- their ground. Henley, on.-whom Long has been de pending to finish the1 season In strong style, was hit on the . elbow by a pitched hall in the sixth inning yes terday afternoen. Luckily, it was not on his pitching arm, but all the same the pain was so Intense that he was unable to hold the bat and retired, an Incident that loubtless cost San Fran cisco the game. . In the same game Mohler was spiked through the hand in the third inning, when Carroll slid into second base. Mohler also quit. It jnay be several weeks before Ire will be able to get back Into the game, and the infield will suffer in consequence. The outfield Is also crippled. Bodie has a. bad knee . that keeps him on the bench, and Melchior's throwing arm Is in bad shape, i The entire team suffered from the heat In Los Angeles, and "Red" Davis complained particularly that he was unable to sleep on ac count of the warm weather. All Port land has to do is to keep plugging and the tables' may turn. - OREGON HAS 30 MEN" OUT Coach Forhes and Trainer Hajrvard Begin Work on Gridiron. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Or.. Sept.v 21.

Is the best umpire in the league today and next year he will be a great deal' better than this year. Nearly all the scribes as well as the players them selves unite In saying this. a There Is a world of difference In the playing of the two Portland teams. The Beavers are more lively, not only In playing the game, but on the coaching line as well. a a "Little" Jack Graney made a desperate try for Howard's hit in the second- Inn lng that wenf for a three-bagger. Jack got within reaching distance after a long run but couldn t squeeze the sphere. . 'a a a , Olson made a couple of dandy stops yesterday that would have gone for hits ordinarily. The way he-pegs to first re minds one of the days of Jakey" Atz, now in the big league. a a a Guyn surely had everything on, the ball yesterday-and" he had great control as well.

He is lajg op as the result of being spiked. a a . ' Ort was busy boy around the Initial yesterday. He handed 17 put-outs with out a bobble.- . .mm Speas has about as good a whip' as any outfielder in the league. He made a perfect throw from the fence to- third base in the second Inning of jtesterday's game in an effort to catch Howard but the latter beat him there by a close margin. He also made some nice pegs to the home plate during practice. Keep It up Oakland! Every game you win from San Francisco means one notch nearer the rag ' for us. Livonia Wins Willow Handicap.

Wash.. Sept. 21. (Special.) It all happened in a jiffy.' Pearl Casey was sitting in the grandstand watching Seaton smoke 'em over and smiling confi dently. The Colts were working beauti fully and he had nothing to fear. Then a boy called him 'out to the box office and when he returned the scoreboy was hanging up the figure S in Tacoma's column. "Death!' he muttered. "How did It happen?" Then he sat down and crossed his- fingers and nothing more eventful happened. The game ended 5 to I in the Tigers' favor. Both Seaton and Pat Butler pitched beautiful ball and had It not been for errors it Is likely that the game would have gone into extra Innings with both sides . blanked. But Portland's infield collapsed in a pinch and spoiled every thing. . ' , . Broadbent led off the fifth with a Tex as leaguer back from first. Butler bunted to Seaton. who threw to second and Sta ton dropped the ball. Hurley's hit scored Broadbent and then Coleman walked, filling the sacks. With the infield play ing In, Kippert dumped an easy one down to Adams, who fumbled until too late to get the runner at the plate, and then threw wild to first and two more scored. Kippert scored a moment later on an Infield out. Breen scored Portland's run on an error of Broadbent and hits by Fournler and Bassey. Score: TACOMA.
