The curtain-raising act wan not al together a social success. The Coast leaguers had taken all the crura from the usual opening exercises and while Tumult. Turmoil and their little broth er. Plain Noise, might reasonably have been expected to be at the Vaughn street Tark Jupiter Pluvlus put the salt on that. Southpaw Archer, formerly with the Coasters. hurled for llliams. He "came back" with a vengeance and lowed but five hit. Jensen was chosen to push over the queer ones for Rrashear. They weren't queer enough. The rain which started In at the first Jarring note from Umpire Steve Kane made It hard for Jensen to locate the ptate. Rain Halle Pa5tlme. Kane had to rail the fiasco In the second and for -9 minutes fans and players flirted about the grandstand trying to keep from freezing to death. All told. It was a marvelous melange of hits and misses, a pot pourrl of wetness and chill requiring five senses and one more to trail out the devious angles. For four straight frame, before and after the cloudburst, the teama waded nerk and neck through the mud. and then something dropped. It was Jen sen's number. The Roadsters had It. Jens walked three In the upheaval and then, with two oot! Mark ye. Sandy, two oot! Stovall and Mundorff smote out singles to the garden and four runs sifted across the rubber. Portland scored three more In the slvth Inning on a single by Mensor. a life to Ort on Schamey's error and a trtple by Harris which eventually bud ded Into a four-base swat on an over throw to third by Bennett. Vancouver scored its first In the fourth on a sac- rlflce fiy by Brashear. following a boot bv Mensor and a wild heave to second by Archer, and Its final tally In the seventh when Splesman and Scham weber lined safely In quick succession. This was the only frame In which the Canucks got more than one hit. Fans Are Satisfied. The few brave fanatics who turned out to welcome the Roadsters are well satisfied with Williams men. The team got nine safe pokes at the ball and dls. played more pepper In the face of ad versity than any other club that has shown here this season. Mensor In fact felt so good that he went In and dressed In his store rlotbes during the rainy Intermission In the second and they had to hold the game two min utes while he was togging out In uni form again. Mensor. Mundorff and Stovall did the bulk of the stick work. The Roadsters new borne uniforms faded to arrive on scheduled time but notwithstanding. Williams. Casey and one or two others were recognized In the traveling gray when the Tourists trundled upon the field at 2:11. One of the 29 bugs In the right eld bleach ers clapped a pair of field glasses to his eyes. "There Is Manager Nick." he flashed by way of a bulletin to the oth er ISff In the 5-cent section. The Iden tification spresd like a bit of scandal at a meeting of the ladies auxiliary where they are knitting neckties for the natives of the FIJts. when Nick was clear out past first base, the fans had recognised him. When they cheered he hid behind a smile. after Spokane had obtained a lead of two runs. Paul Strand, the Spokane boy pitcher was hit so hard that the locals scored seven men and won the game.

Breakfast Food for Fans ORTLAXD got Its first run In yes terday's game with Vancouver on a hit and stolen base by Stovall and a safe drive by Mundorff In the first In ning. see Catcher Harris was the only one of the two teams "In Dutch" with custom officials when the boat landed at Seat tle Sunday mornlruc. Harris had to unroll his uniform case to the official gaze. No diamonds were discovered. see The wait for the rain to abate In the second Inning lasted 29 minutes. One minute more and there would have been no game. The bleacher crowd poured Into the stand during the downpour. No con test and their ralnchecks would have entitled them to a grandstand seat to day. e Robert Brown, president of the Van rouver club, occupied a box with Judge McCredle. Captain Williams did some quick thinking in that eighth Innning. He was on second and Ort on first, tak Ing a big lead, when Brashear sig nalled for a quirtt throw to first by the catcher on the next delivery. Spies-nan threw all right, but Williams was on third before Vancouver knew what had happened. see Today's game will begin at S P. M. see Judge McCredle made the original suggestion which resulted In the ap polntment of Rusle as an umpire by President Lindsay, of the Northwestern League. Brashear probably will hold down flnrt base permanently for Vancouver, Strelb Is a classv fielder and valuable Initial eacker. but Brown wants an in field captain. e Caer. Ort. Williams.

Another insrredterrt that went to make the Monday Interpretation of the National frolic a spicy incident of our baseball existence was the appearance of Amos Rusate. famous major league pitcher, and Stephen Kane, major league "urn p. In the umpire roles. It was Amos' first offense with an Indi cator and he looked lonely and forlorn out there on the bases. Kane, on the other hand. Is well named, lie yelted at the players, bantered with the crowd and made it generally known that he was boss. McQuarr. a youngster laden with embonpoint, supplanted Jensen on the hill for Vancouver after the game was lost and allowed two hits In that many Innlnrs. Cates or Ertcksoo will heave for Vancouver today with Garrett op posed. Swain and James, of the vis itors, are on the sick list. Strelb going out to left and Harrison taking James' seat at third.

Umpire Steven Kane, who is In charg of the Portland-Vancouver series her this week, has been umpiring 10 years, the last two having been spent In th National League. Kane, therefore. Is qualified to speak with welsh t upon the race now in progress in the National circuit. He favors Chicago to win. "The Philadelphia Nationals cannot keep on winning th way they have." declared Kan last nlgbt at th Oregon Hotel. Tooin, Paskert, Lobert and Ma ge are hitting Ilka fiends and their pitchers are going good, but th team hasn't started on Its Western trip anl that's where the bumps will come. "The fight will be between the New Tork Giants, the Chicago Cubs snd the Pittsburg Pirates. I think Chicago has th best outlook if Chance gets back in the game soon. It looks to me as though Stelnfeldt got a dirty deal when he wss released. Zimmermann may be Just as good a thlrd-sacker but 'Stelny' should have been kept around as utility mar. as a .reward for his years of service. 'The acquisition of Hunter, of th Kansas City dub. at first Is the only change Pittsburg has made, while th Giants have stood pat on the 1910 line up. Doyle and Dever are playing better ball, however, and McGraw expects much of Rube Marquard." Previous to going to th major league. Kane umpired four seasons In th Amer ican Association. He started out In 1900 In the Cotton States League, going then to the Central and later to th Three-I League. r AMERICAN' LEACiCE. Detroit 8, Chicago 2. CHICAGO. May S.
