JlcCredie Pitcher Permits but Four 5 Hits, While Locals Make Merry at Stewart's Expense in ' Last of Eighth. BY. TV. J. PETRAIN. With Benny Henderson pitching in (Treat form yesterday, the Beavers came from behind in the inaugural battle with Happy Hogan's league-leading Vernon Tigers and trimmed the voci ferous contingent from the South by a score of 4 to 1. I Hap's wallopers tallied the first run of the engagement and there was some rroise" in the Vernon quarter, but it was not for long, as the Beavers came tiack after a few frames and tied up the proceedings. Then they sallied forth, in the eighth eanto. and cinched the game, for three-baggers Dy Budd7 Ryan and Roger recKinpaugn. cum ained with a sacrifice fly by Sheehan and a wild pitch interpolated by Harry Stewart, the Vernon flinger. gave the Beavers a trio of aces to add to the nrst score. This bunch of runs was ample to flag Hap's chances for the opening game of the series. Henderson Flae Form. ; Ben Henderson's pitching was fine. Be allowed the heavy-hitting Vernon bunch but four blngles and fanned eight of them during the game. The lone run tallied by the villagers hap pened in the fourth frame and was tallied after the first two men in the inning had been disposed of by the Beavers. Carlisle and Kane were on ice when Henderson lost control. temporarily, and allowed Patterson to hike. The big fellow stole second and scored the first run of the game when "Old Folks" Brashear ripped a corking single to centerfleld. That was all for the Villagers, for Henderson proved an enigma to the Hooligans after that period. Portland struggled along un til the sixth before being able to figure in the run column, and on this occasion it looked as though a flock Of runs would materialise, but one run was all the locals could negotiate. 4 ' Bill Rapps opened the sixth for the leavers with a bingle to right. Buddy Bvnn fallowed suit. Krueger hiked and the sacks were populated, with none out. Tommy Sheeban hoisted a long fly to Artie Ross, which scored Rapps. but Ryan and Krueger were held at their bases. Pecklnpaugh pop filed to Johnny Kane, and Walter Carlislle made a beautiful running catch of Kuhn's line drive to center, retiring the side, but the score was tied. Beavers Amass Riu. Having played almost three games at Sacramento in the effort to gain a de cision over the Senators Sunday, the Beavers were determined to allow no extra innings, and when they got into action with their war clubs in the last half of the eighth, they broke up the tame for keeps. Buddy Ryan began the disappointment of Hogan with a triple to left. Krueger was whanged on the crazy bone by one of Stewart's wild shoots, and Sheehan came through with another long fly. this time to Carlisle, and Ryan tallied. Peckln paugh connected for a mighty smite that sent the ball sailing far over Carlisle's head, and while that worthy hot-footed to the score board to re trieve the sphere, Krueger tallied and Pecklnpaugh drifted into third base. Stewart was unnerved by the heavy artillery, and uncorked a wild pitch, which let Pecklnpaugh in with the third run for the inning. Burrell made a fine running catch of Kuhn's foul ind Henderson fanned, ending the in ning. Henderson disposed of Kane in the ninth, after which Patterson beat out an Infield tap to Sheehan. but a moment later Brashear hit sharply to Bill Llnd lay, who retired Patterson by touching lecond, and then ended the 'game by Spubling Brashear at first. Managers Get poalea. Before the game began Happy Hogan and Walter McCredie were the recip ients of handsome floral pieces com posed of large chrysanthemums, and both managers came in for a lot of Joshing as a result. Hogan will here after fight shy of the posies, for ha thinks somebody put a vJinx" over m him by yesterday's presentation. - Seaton will oppose Roy Castleton this afternoon. and anot. er hard fought battle is in order.

Ben Henderson fanned Brashear, Stinson and Ross in the second inning and Browa and Stewart in the third. In the seventh Henderson pulled out of a tight hole nicely, tor Patterson occupied third and Stinson first, with only one out. Ross forced Patterson at the plate and Bur rell died to Chadbourne. Buddy Ryan demonstrated his title to the batting supremacy of the league. His clout ing; figured in all of the run-getting by the Beavers. "Hungry for Beaver meat." shouted Hap py Hoaan as he pranced out to the coach ing line in the first inning. Incidentally Happlcus went home hungry. Johnny Kane Is playing shortstop for the Villagers because McDonnell is suffering from a bad ankle. McDonnell had been hitting like a demon up to the time of his injury and his absence from tha lineup weakens Hogan's bunch. Judge Graham has detailed two umpires for this series, and in so doing ha used ex cellent Judgment. Ed Finney and Van Haltren are handling the games and they gava satisfaction yesterday. -Certain members of the Vernon team are in line to have the riot act read to them. Two or three of them thought it a rich Joke to? tosa mud into the boxes occupied by prominent fans. It would be a better Joke If Hogaa assessed a still fine against each of tbim. Hogaa is a gentlemanly player HOGAN IN CLDDM ITGHTING LEADER OF VERNON TO BEAVERS and it Is hardly likely that he will overlook this rowdyism on the part of bis players.

BRITISH GOLFERS MATCHES ON American Grip on Amatenr Cham pionship Is Loosened. RYE. N. Y, Sept 18. The American grip od the amateur golf championship was further loosened by today's play in the National tournament, in which Harold H. Hilton, British champion, easily won his way into the third round by defeating R. C. Watson, of Wast Brook, 11 and 10. Although good American players tonight stand be tween him and the title, the betting was two to odo on Hilton against tho field. Those who won today are paired for the third round tomorrow as follows: Harold H. Hilton, Royal Liverpool, and Beromo D. Travers, Upper Moat Clair, N. J. C. W. Inslee, Wykagyl. and P. W. Whlttlemore, Country Club, Brooklyn. Frederick Herresholt, Ekwanok, Manchester, Vt, and Oswald Kirby, En. glewood, N. J. Albert Seckel, Riverside, Chicago, and "Chick" Evans, Edgewater, Chi. cago. By luck of tha draw, two surviving Western players, both from Chicago, are pitted against each other. As a rule the eight matches today fulfilled expectations, although there were several close finishes, notably be tween "Chick" Evans and A. F. Ham mer, the French champion. Hilton's game today was of such pre. clsion that "Bob" Watson kept slip ping back constantly until the one sided struggle ended at the 26th hole. Kirby also had a runaway match with J. Pouglas Brown, of Edinboro, Irish champion, who proved no match for the Englewood player. ZACKERT WILL GO TO ST. LOUIS Dhgdale Permits Southpaw to Join Roger Bresnahan's Clnb.

Sago had Portland at his mercy today. He not only jolted the major league superstition about losing if tho first batter is struok out, but went right down the lino, Inning after inning, without allowing more than three up. The plate was never in danger. Seattle was more fortunate, getting clean hits when they came in conjunc tion with passes or other battery er rors. Score: Seattle 6, Portland 0. The series now stands one-ll, Port land having beaten Seattle Monday. 7 to 0. Tuesday It rained. It is an odd coincidence that the two games repre sent practically the -same figures re versed. Garrett had Seattle buffa loed just as much Monday as Sage did Portland today. Eastley pitched good ball but was unlucky, having a pass and a hit come together, which was the case of Zackert on Monday. There was only one fielding .error. Sage was on first when 3:ard hit and Eastley threw wild to the middle sta tion. .The fielder either had tp step off the sack to get the ball or got it lust as his foot left Hie station. It was a close play. Umpire 'Starkell said tha throw pulled the fielder's foot off th base and declared the runner safe. Mensor barked himself out of the game. Harris finished, at second. Sage allowed Portland only three well-scattered singles. The score: Seattle I Portland Ab.H.Po.A.K. Ab.H.Po.A.E.

HOGAN'S MEN HIT BALL Happy Leader Has Xo Less Than Seven Players Who Are Batting Over .375, While Portland Has Just Quartette. BY ROSCOB FAWCETT. Black as moonless midnight's sable. Grim and gaunt as silent Babel, Leers the old percentage table With the Ducks a-oreeping up. Oft In the azure hours of reflection, ye rooter has found that if our Beav ers cop "this game or that," or "some other series," they'll be somewhere or nowhere, which latter might refer to Vernon, Cal., if we were dealing in geographical locations. Shining from the snarl of shifting xangles, however, we know at least one thing that oan be banked upon Portland is now but ten points behind the Vernons and a victory today will bring that flag Elysia just four 'weentx points away. The average bug is not much of an optician. Neither is the average man ager nor the average player. A com parison of the Vernon and Portland leaders may, therefore, prove appe tizing to all concerned more so, per haps, from Hap Hogan's viewpoint than from any other, because the statistics show the Hooligans superior to the Beavers in nearly every department, save fielding. Vernon is first in Coast League hit ting, with a team average of .270; Port land fourth, with a rapidly shrinking ,266. Vernon is first in run-getting, with 765; Portland fourth, with 627. Vernon Is second to San Franolsoo in sacrifice hitting, with 237; Portland sixth, with 160. Vernon is fourth in stolen based, with 249, and Portland third, with 263. Los Angeles heads the pilferers with 296. Portland Is first in team fielding and Vernon fourth, following San Francisco and Oakland. Portland and Vernon are practically tied up in the matter of double plays, McCredie's men being fourth, with 118, and Hogan's fifth, with 109. All of which coping with "the dope" would seem- to hang the lilac hedge around Hogan's halo-holder. Vernon has seven men sticking over the .275 groove, and Portland a quar tet, to-wlt: VERNON.

Portland looks woefully weak in the sacrifice hitting statistics. Is this a real weakness? McCredie says "no," for he is not a firm believer in the sacrifice principles. And any close observer of the Beavers' style of play will be forced to agree that the Port land men get fully as much benefit from a steady plugging at the hit and run as other teams do from the usual diet of sacrificing. Again, the above figures are com piled from the present standings of the clubs, which show that .Vernon has played 11 more games than Vernon has When the missing totals .are welded, the locals will look more like winners in the sacrifice, stolen base, run and double-play departments. Carlisle and Patterson lead the league Just now in total runs scored. Brasher and Kane are also up among the first ten steppers. Carlisle is fifth in the league In pil fered hassocks, with 47. Chadbourne ranks next among the two clubs, with 46: then Kane, of Vernon, 89; Ryan and Paterson 38 and Rapps and Peckln paugh 80 apiece. Vernon's pitchers, too, loom head and shoulders above the Beavers, according to the arid statistical twists, Dut as Hogan's sluggers have driven in nearly 140 more runs behind their hurlers than have the Beavers, it will take a microscopic shredding of detail hits and misses to convince the Portland fan that Castleton. Carson, Stewart and Brackenridge are superior to Steen, Henderson, Koestner, Seaton and. Hark ness. Mere wins and losses 00 not always sum up the qualifications of a pitcher, but they do win and lose ball games.
