Do you hear the little birdie yodel
lng their tweet -al-lee-al-ee-ooa" thla
morning?
Portland back In first plara again
In the Cotit Leaarue. And how much
more grand and more elegant tha
scenery from this sixth floor apart
ment. The eklsa are bluer, bo Is Hap
Homo. Why l Hap bluer? Because,
children. Hap Koran's erstwhile Kln
nicaa Vlllar teetered out of first
place by nine point yesterday by drop
plna a double-header to Portland.
The scores, children, were io 4
I Henderson and Castleton!. and I to
1 48ten and ftewart. the latter be
lnr a five and one-half frame "up from
behind" battle.
Collectively speaking, that double
header was some feature. It was not
on of those narrow, shrunken affairs
at which a person haa t confine his
attention to one rtr.a. There were two
distinct and separate rings, and each
was aa entertainment worth the prlca
of admission.
Brilllaat Plays Jfaay.
First of all there were the ball
games and what frames they were
both crackling- with brilliant crises
when the slip of one man mlicht have
meant victory. The opener was won
In the eUhth Innlnc. when, with a tied
core at I to 1. Portland filled the baa
socke and crammed three across tha
Jlsn on two hits, two walka and Cas
Ue'on'a poor fieldln of ht position.
When tha second five-innlr.g fest
nded with an ornate score of 3 to X,
tha Ejryptlao mummies looked Ilka
paprika Juveniles compared to Hap
Hofin s Tigers, for those hits by Ryan
ind feheehan In the fourth, with that
tame X to 1 score, spelled four straight
lefeets for the visitors.
Aod. for fear the pleasure experts.
ieekir.tr an afternoon's entertainment,
would lrk distraction there waa the
rowd. Try to put a 11 collar on a IS
nark; try to enclrdle a Hackenschmldt
relet with a pair of corsets, with a
:t-lneb girth, try to put a alx-slxe
lerby hat over one of those bungalow
brows that remind one of Kelly's Butts
in a haiy afternoon. Then you'll set
in Idea of the situation.

The funs flocked helter-skelter onto
!he field. The gates could not assim
ilate the dirt of humanity near rap
Idly encugh and the runwsys were Im
passably clogged long befora the name
even Dm- The turnstiles confessed
to approximately 11.001 persons, which
la the record for the season on the to
tal pasture.
This deliffe of humanity, displaying
In one afternoon all the emotlona of
which the ordinary troglodyte Is ea
table, waa worth tha price of admla-
on clote. Cay blta of pulchrltuo
touted cut In the latest Tuffs, plunked
contentedly down In puddles of mud
slot s' the sidelines when they f ju .3
there wasn't a seat to be bought.
It waa no desf and dumb associa
tion on an outing. Everybody had a
quip and a sally for Hsp Hogan. But
Hap couldn't ba -quipped." Tou
couldn't find a smile htudrn away In
that countenance after the blowups
with aa X-ray. and when Bill Rap pa
ended tha exciting flve-lnnlng bout by

ble steal, but when the sons; clan Red
three times, the big- crowd went wild
with delight. Two-baggers by Carlisle
and Kane after two were out In the
ninth scored two runa for Vernon, but
Steen retired Patterson and the game
waa over with tha Beavers lu first
place.
Harry Stewart wf.s chosen as the
Vernon pitcher In the second e-ame.
while Bill Steen Insisted on pitching
for Portland. Steen got by nicely un
til the third Inning when Carlisle's
double. Kane's single, an error by
Peckinpaugh and a double steal landed
a brace of runs for Hogan's crew. Tha
Vernon lead was short-lived, however,
for Portland tied up the game almost
Immediately and did It by hard hitting.
PecHlnpaugh doubled as first man up,
and Kuhn'a ringing hit to left tallied
the shortstop, while tha "redhead"
went to second on tha toss to ths plate.
Steen fanned and Chadbourne's groun
der to Brashear sent Kuhn to third.
Bill Lindsay proved the pinch-hitter
and tallied Kuhn with the run which
tied the score on a hit to left.
In the fourth Inning the Beavera won
the second game. Kapps popped to Ho
ran. but Buddy Ryan slammed a hard
drive Into right field for a single, and
Stlnsnn's wild toss allowed the popu
lar Beaver to take second. Krueser
popped to Hogan. but Tommy Sheehan
delivered a two-bagger to the left field
crowd which tallied Ryan with what
proved to be the winning run.
Beatoa Replace Steea.
Beaton waa then subs'tltuted for
Steen and did not allow a .Vernonlte
to reach first until two men were out
In the sixth and last Inning. McDonnell
was safe on a low toss by Pecklnpaugh
but Bill Rappa pulled the moth-eaten
hidden ball trick and Van Haltren
wafted the Vernonlte out and the game
was over.

The Beavers outbatted Happy Ho
gan's warriors almost two to one In
the four-game series completed yester
day, for the Portland team made a
grand batting average of .267 for the
week, while Vernon hit collectively for
the mark of .170.
Hogan led tha regular players with
an average of .875 for three games, but
Buddy Ryan and Bill Rapps, in four
games, each achieved up the nice aver
age of .364. Bill Lindsay batted .284,
at which figure "Ham" Patterson, the
Vernon slugger also ended the four
game aeselon.
The holding of the heavy hitting
Vernon team to an average of .170 on
the series Is what pulled the Portland
team out of second place and shot
them above the Tigers. An instance of
Vernon's weakness Is shown in the
marks made by Stlnson and McDonnell,
two of Vernon's hardest hitters. Stln
son made one hit in the four games,
while McDonnell did not get Into the
base-hit column at alL

Notes of. the Gam).
The heavy-batting proclivities of . the
naad-otf men" of the Vernon team kept
the crowd on edge throughout, and the trio
of runs scored In tke eighth were needed.
Benny Henderson had George Stlnson s
number" in that first battle, for the big
Vernonlte fanned out twice and hit puny
rroundera the other two tlmea ha faced the
Beaver hurler.
When Vernon made those two runs In the
third Inning of the second game, Happy
shouted: "Well, we'll go back home In the
lead, anyway." Poor Hap was "kidded un
mercifully when the Beavers tied It up and
took the lead.
"Roaring BUI" Rapps waa quitea factor
In winning yesterday s games. While the
gingery first baaeman did not make many
hlta his fielding counted largely lg holding
the Tigers safe at critical points.
Sergeants of Police Burke and Smith were
on hand with a half doxen patrolmen and
did excellent work In clearing the field and
keening back tha crowd which thronged
about the playing field. Neat year there
will be no crowds on the playing field, for
the new park to be built will aaat 15.000
Lindsay will own Portland If he con
tinues to Drove the plnch-hltter he haa been
In the last few games. Bill won Saturday s
came had a lot to do with the first victory
yesterday and won the second game with hie
club.
Wnen Len Burrell opened the ninth of
the first game with a bit. Hogan sent Artie
Ross In to bat for himself, and Ross forced
Burrell at second. Then Hosp batted for
Castleton and grounded out to Rappa Then
came Carlisle and Kane with two-baggers,
and two runs resulted. -
The nlnth-lnnlng rally of the Tigers gave
the fans nerves a decided shock, for two
runs were In and a man on second, with
Pattarson the "demon hitter," up. Steen
waa on the job. however, and "Ham" sent
one down the alley to the pltcter and the
game waa over.
In spite of the errors he made yesterday.
Roger Pecklnpaugh pulled off some sensa
tional fielding stunts which mors than offset
his miscues. "Peck's" fielding of Stlason a
drive In the sixth Inning of the second game
Waa aa neat a piece of fielding as was seen
during the afternoon.
After Kane had doubled in the seventh
Inning of the first game. Bill Rapps mads a
great running catch of Patterson s pop foul.
Henderson and Kuhn also went after the
ball but Rapps wafted them aside and came
near misjudging the ball, because these piay
ers paid no heed to his warning.
