to Hur.kr Shaw and tha hlttlna; of Bill
Stela's rholiest at timely Intervals
earsed to glie tha vlaitora much con

game.
Visitors Begin Srorlnc.
Tennant opened the second Inning
with a single snd jlohler followed suit.
Vltt forced Tcnnant at third. Steen
snaking a pratty play of the ball, and
Berry flaw to Pecklnpaugh. mhUh
brought Browning, a ererr.lngty easy
proposition, to bat with two out.
Browning proved not so easy and laced
a single to center which scored Mh
ler. and Powell ended the Inning with
a fly to Rodcera- Shaw's single. RarP'e
error. Weaver'a eacrlfk-e- and a long
sacrtftVe fly by Tennant to Kj an acored
another In tha third.
The ?-'; then laid off until tha
eighth, when Steen's error allowed Ten
nant to reach second, from whenca ha
scored on hlta by Vltt and Berry. A
double by Weaver and Tennant'a single
scored tha fourth and last run In tha
ninth.
Tha day was cold and rainy and only
a few fans braved tha weather to see
the game. After the Seals had been
retired In the first Inning, the game waa
railed o'n account of a deluge of rain.
The play as resumed after an Inter
mission of aoma IS minutes, but the
ga.ne was slow and would hardly have
teen Interesting had It not have been
for tha circus catches of tha Seals and
the pulling down of two hard chancea
by Bud ly Ryan.
Kid Moliler'a leaping catch of Ryan's
hard liner on which he do-ibled Chad
bourne at nrst in the fourth Inning was
one of the festure plays, and PowcU'a
arrest catch of Krueaer s long drive in
the second waa another.
Today Is Ladies Day.
Today Is ladles' day and tha fair one
are expected out In force, as the weath
er man predicts a fine day for baseball.
Harry SutoT or "Sllvere" Henley will
fitch for tha Seals today, while Port

works at the Finish.
VICTORIA. B. C. May 15. (Special.)
Once more the Portland Roadstera
walked all over the British Columbia
Islanders, winning today's game, 11
to 7.
It wasn't so much their heavy hit
ting that gave the visitors the upper
band aa Victoria's execrable fielding
and their failure to locate Southpaw
Tonneson's benders. When the last
of the ninth was called and most of
the crowd had departed thinking that
the fun was over, the home nine aud
denly solved Tonneson and Initiated a
batting rally that netted six runs and
brought the argument to a close amid
wild excitement.
The first aeven Innings were so over
whelmingly the Roadsters' they served
to wet-blanket the local fana. In that
period Southpaw Parka and Paul
Brown, an acquisition from the Spo
kane camp, had pitched five and two
Innings respectively. Portland had got
six hits off the former, one of them
Mensor's three-bagger, and the other
Caaev's two-aacker. While Brown In
his first two Innings hadn't allowed
hlta. he had contributed to the sad
story bv hitting a batter and helping
two men across the plate In the sixth
by a wild throw Into center field.
But the most distressing of all was
the ninth Inning, when three errors
allowed five Roadsters to romp Joy
fullv around the cinder path.
Orfs catch of Kellar's long drive and
Speas' peg from center field to Catcher
Harris cutting off Million at the plate,
were the fielding features.

CHICAGO. May 25. The cork cen
ter baseball, which has been yielding
up long hlta tn wholesale quantities
haa found a friend In President C W.
Murphy, of the Chicago Nationals.
"I do not think that the new ball Is
responsible for the hitting as much aa
bad pitching." Mr. Murphy said. "The
clubs have been trying out a not of
youngsters and the old timers have
been hitting the ball to the fence when
it came over the plate. I'm not op
posed to the hall. The magnatea have
been clamoring for more hitting for
years."

and How They Are Perpetrated
Q While it is impossible by any amount of warning or exposure to protect
those gullible people who will insist on believing that, in this world, some
thing' can be obtained for nothing and who, therefore, fall easy, victims to
the unscrupulous, still there are some "Frauds" in the piano business that
should be laid bare for the protection of reputable maKers and dealers, as
well as that portion of the public which asKs and expects only full value for
the amount of money expended.
Q Among the many "Dodges" used to gull the public are the mocK auction
of furniture in a private house, including a piano for which "great renown
is claimed, the "sacrifice" which "a lady about to go to Europe" is always
willing to maKe, the "wonderful bargain" to be obtained by addressing
some "Private Party" or 'Transfer S Storage Co.," the "Prize Puzzle or Dot
Counting Contest" during which some manufacturer who is worth only a
few thousand dollars gives away several millions in "faKe checKs' or Pur
chasing coupons." the "was $550; now $167 sales," "History maKing reduc
tion sales." "Going at 1-2 price sales." false "Retiring from Business Sales
and many others.
Q All these cheats originated in the East, but as soon as each one was adver
tised in the Eastern papers, it was copied by the "circus" or "tricK dealers
in Portland.
fl Cheap pianos bearing a name closely similar to that of some well-Known
maKer are often offered at private sale, at the furniture sales and even by
some unscrupulous dealers. Such names as "Mason a Hamilton," "Mason a
Hampden," "Hamlin a Mason,", "Mason a Hampton" are all evidently inten
ded to trade on the reputation of the costliest piano in world (The Mason
a Hamlin), while similar attempts have been made to trade on the high
reputation of the Hardman, KraKauer and other distinguished instruments.
q As every piano of even decent reputation has a fair value in the trade it
self, it is self-evident that it is not liKely to be sold at a "sacrifice " If the
so-called "Bargains" now being advertised in Portland by the circus piano
concerns were real, as their advertisements claim, the substantial dealers
would buy them instantly, but Vhen the buyer is not familiar with the value
of an article, it is easy for the salesman to add some to the price in order to
allow for reductions and it often happens that the reductions do not equal
the addition.
q The Wiley B. Allen Co.'s immense business has been developed upon a
belief in the common sense of our public meaning by "our" public those
people who realize that it is good judgment and economy to pay fair prices
and get good pianos.
9 Our business consists exclusively of selling pianos and player pianos of
the most advanced types, at prices which represent their actual retail values.
We have no profits to add in order to cover the expense involved by provid
ing gift inducements to purchasers.
Q Sensationalism and misrepresentation find no place in our business. Our
goods speaK for themselves. They are well made, fully guaranteed, and
sold at the same identical prices that are asKed on the floors of their manu
facturers, whether in Boston, New YorK or Chicago. Investigation will con
vince you, and will save you money.
