ram to 1 In the opening came of the
Northwestern League season In Port
land.
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

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

safe drive by Mundorff In the first In
ning.

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.

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.

Today's game will begin at S P. M.

Judge McCredle made the original
suggestion which resulted In the ap
polntment of Rusle as an umpire by

STAXDIXfiS AXI RESULTS.
Umpires Are Entertaining.
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. The score In detail:

Northwestern League Official Does
Not Think That Philadelphia
Can Keep "Cp Pace Which It
lias Been Setting.
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.
