Thomaa waa a little wl'.d and allowed
runners to the baas on balla rather
freely, the Roadsters had only one Mt

waa a lead which the hopeful rooters
thouicht roleht be overcome. But tne
poor s-pport that Thomaa received In

slackened hla par, and htt wrra

Lamitne pitched consistent ball for

when his one fumble allowed Ward to

It waa only nice Iieldintj- that brought
the aide through ea'ely. Householder

the Pacific Coast? Has the latest
cork-anatomized p': re reached this
section, or are the not-too infrequent
12-ton scores due rather to Inferior
pitching? This Is the query of the
baseball bug who recalls that the old
rashloned rubber core was not entirely
displaced by the 1910 cork edition last
season In the Coast circuit.
Here ars the complete data on the
subject covering the first 47 games In
ths Coast League for two years. 1910
and 1911, up to May 1. We find that
the 1911 cork-center is here without a
doubt:

Up to 11 the ball carried a solid
rubber core, but In 1910 a cork center
was substituted, with a light fringe of
rubber around the cork. The old stock
was worked off In ths minor leagues,
however, so but few of the new variety
got tnls far West. This year the cork
center haa been reduced by one-half
and mors rubber set around It. and this
is what has set off the fireworks.
Take the Pacific Coast team figures
shown above. Ths team batting this
year averages .21. sgainst but .226 one
year ago at a corresponding time. The
home runs have Increased by one-third,
and the triples have mors than doubled.
Curiously enough, the two-baggers
have remained about the same numer
ically, but the single crop Is nearly 400
safe Mffo to the good, and the same
Bugvllls contingent which was former
ly shrieking wildly for more hitting Is
now roaring aa first tenor in the
"TAke-him-out' chorus.
The new ball should sdd greatly to
the excitement sround the circuit, as
it pscks more uncertainty to the con
test. .Formerly a lead of six or eight
runs meant a cinch, but today no team
feels safe unless Its opponents drop
dead. Last Sunday Spokane ran in
eight tallies In the second frame
against the Portland Roadsters. Did
that win? Well hardly, for Williams'
men csme back with nine tallies before
the end of the seventh and the game
finished a nip and tuck affair.
Cnexpeeted" Rare Now.
Whether the baseball fan likes ths
larger scores Is a question of indi
vidual taste. Tha writer certainly does
not. When these slugging matches oc
curred under former conditions they
were the unexpected and the "unex
pected" Is surely the - cause of the
popularity of ths game. Now. the
heavy aiugglntr is a part of the
routine of the sport. Formerly
a ballgame between two evenly
matched teams was real sport for It
was a contest every Inch of the way.
A bass hit. a stolen base, an error
meant much. In the ordinary slugging
fest with the new ball it takes a num
ber of all of these to count for any
thing. Major leejrue. statistics show the
same Increase In long-distance hitting
aa revealed In the Coast League. From
guides ws cull th following figures
the Portland club, whence he went Into
fast company at the close of last sea
son. Another rumor rolled under ) the
tongues of the fireside fans yesterday
was to the effect that young Fuller
ton, flinger on the Beaver payroll, was
to transfer his activities to the Port
land olub in the Northwestern League.
Both of these charming Idyls of a
rainy day Walter McCredie. manager of
the Beavers, took occasion to deny.
"Nothing to the report," said Mc
Credie, speaking of the prospect of
Krapp coming back to the Beavers.
"I have had no intimation that Krapp
is not making good with Cleveland.
He seems to be doing good work with
the American League club. Of course,
I would be glad enough to get him back
if I could."
As to Master Fullerton. McCredie
says his connection with the Beavers
will not be severed yet.
"He will be retained until I am con
vinced that he cannot go the pace."
said the manager. "I think he Is a
class-A pitcher, though."
If the weather permits a game to
day. Steen will heave for Portland. He
has won ten games, lost three and tied
one In a total of 14 starts this season.

i SAN FRANCISCO, May 24. Oakland
won a close, snappy game from Vernon
today by a score of 4 to 3. Superior
stick-work by the Oaks and a quin
tet of errors on the part of the visitors
explain ths result. Both Kilroy and

Reflections Upon a Special Sale Cannot, and Must Not
Apply to Eilers Music House
Numerous complaints are being brought to us as to the very questionable manner in which
'a certain special sale is being conducted. '
These complaints are very significant. They show conclusively that it is nothing less than
commercial suicide for any firm to deal with the public on any basis other than honesty and
strictest integrity. , .
Our friends, the "roundabout dealers" in Sleepy Hollow, also refer to this matter in one of
their recent periodic whinings. "Beware of all piano sales" is the heading of the latest wail
of these "never wasers.""
"Dependable pianos are not sold at ridiculously low prices"' is the squeal of these "has
beens." , . ,
"$18 is added to offset the expense in extra advertising which a so-called special sale
necessitates," they moan, between sobs of grief. Grief because of what? Because of the many
pianos that are being sold by Eilers Musio House and the utter absence of business on their floor.
-But while our complaining brethren are not together wrong in their lamentations, these
insinuatinff statements cannot be and must not be applied to an Eilers Music House sale and
especiallynot to the present closing-out sale of the East Side store stock, now being conducted
in the new Seventh and alder streets building by the Eilers Music House.
Every caller at tha big new establishment at Seventh and Alder has found here everything
exactly as advertised, and nearly every caller , has purchased a piano here, thereby saving a good
round sum of money.
Thus it will be seen that there is an honestly conducted special sale at bona fide price reduc
tions and such a special sale is being conducted by Eilers Music House.
It stands to reason that a "roundabout dealer," who must pay tribute to San Francisco
wholesale houses and other middlemen, cannot furnish good instruments for such low prices as
are offered by Eilers Music House. Recently in New York, extremely low prices were adver
tised at special sale by one of the well-known New York manuf actuers the Steinway, but the
Portland representative never dreamed of offering the same reductions, amounting to more than
$100 on every instrument.
There is no reason why a "roundabout dealer" should every once in so often break out in
abuse of a concern that is ready and willing to do business on a smaller margin of profit, except
that this is probably the only method by which such "roundabout dealers" can hope to confuse
the public, and thus secure an occasional sale of a piano at the big, before-the-war prices which
they are compelled to ask.
Again we say, little idle dealers cannot possibly compete openly with the little prices and
high-class pianos now being offered in this sals. Whether you want a Baby Grand, or a
splendid, very latest and most highly improved Player-Piano, or an ordinary used upright, now
is the time to ;et one in this closing-out sale of the East Side store stock. Among the instra
ments to be had will be found the following:
During the past few days we've sold over 50 pianos. There are still rows upon rows of ele
gant high-grade instruments to choose from, ani the particularly attractive terms of ownership
that we now offer should sell more than another 50 pianos within the next three days. Does
not this indicate conclusively the reason for the small dealer's wail of woe and dire distress?

Herrmann Sajs Baseball Directors
Are Being- Canvassed.
SAX FRANCISCO, May 14. The
slaughter of pitchers by batters of the
National and American leagues soon
will be checked by the retirement of the
new cork-centered ball, according to
August Herrmann, chairman of the Na
tional Commission and president of the
Cincinnati Club of the National League,
who left for Portland yesterday.
A movement already has been started
for the relief of the moundsmen. who
here saved a terrific bombardmeat of
safe hits since the Introduction of the
new ball. A circular letter, mailed to
ail directors and officials of the Ameri
can and National leagues, asking for ex-.
presslons of opinion regarding tha con
tinued use of the new ball, was received
by Mr. Herrmann yesterday.
"1 think it will be but a short time
until a ball of a less lively pattern will
be in use," said Mr. Herrmann. "The
present ball makes the games too one
sided and uncertain."
