Manager Mo credle and hie Beavers 1-Jt last night for Lo Angelas. Wednrslay afternoon tba Portland champions will mtet to a Vrnon Hurra In the urst pame of Nrbal la expected to ba tha crucial erte of tha 1111 pennant race. Tha long Jump from Portland to tha Ana-el city precludes tha playing of tha regularly scheiluleU Turaday game, and thla contest will b played oil nest ilonday. As tha Bearers have a tie Came with Vernon at Los Angeles to be played olT. tha comma- aorta a will em brace ela-ht gamaa. all of which will hare In be played in all aucceeelTe days. Thla means that there will be two double-headers: the regularly scheduled riunday affair, and the other on a day to be decided upon by tha manager of the respective team llraimai llogaa Jinx. Tha Portland team la In fine a ha pa to meet the rival bidder for thla year's flag. The tall Portland leader will de pend on hla five sterling pitcher to bring the honors to Portland. Ben Henderson has volunteered to twirl three of the gam to be played thla week. and. as he has the distinction of having won the pennant for Portland In li. It may be that he will win an other flag fur the fteavera. Mender cn thinks he can beat the Vernon team any time he starts. As he has been unueually succeaaful agalnat thla club. It Is quite possible that he will beat Hap lioaran on hla own diamond. In addition to Henderson, the other four crack pltchera on McCredle s staff are equally aa anxtoua to down the Tiger, t-teen. Beaton. Koestner and Harknesa all want to pitch mora than one a-ama. but the schedule will not permit of enough game to satisfy their desire. L-urtng the nest three weeks tha Tteavars will be on foreign territory. This Is a big handicap to a club, but the Portland team haa proven a flrat claaa road aggregation and none of tha players are the least bit daunted by tha fact that they will have hostile crowd to face In the moat trying: pe riod of the eeaaon. In the fac of past performances the Beavers, except for being on the road, have a allerhtly more areeable sched ule than ha Vernon. The Beavers meet Vernon and two second division teams, while H iran a warriors are to be pitted aaalnt Portland and Oak land, two of tha beat clubs, and havs only tha final week of the season with a tall-end team. Beavers ee Series. If Portland can win five of the eight mmee with Vernon thla week, the Iieavers ahould win the flap; the fol io wins: week, when they meet Los Angeles, while Vernon Is hooklna; up with the hard-hitting Oak a. On the ther hand. If Vernon get an even break or ahould take the majority of the frames. Portland's rh.inces from then on will be decidedly slim, for It Is hardly likely "Mac's'" speedy team can make up enough around agalnat the Angela and the Seals to offset the Vernon advantage to be secured by de feating; the Beaver. From all angles the coming three weeks In California will see some laterestlns; baeoball struggles, and the fana of Portland, as well aa of the en tire Pacific Coast, will turn their at tention to the svrles between Portland and Vernon -which starts W'ednesdny afternoon. The Beavera will reach Los Ana-eles tomorrow night, and will b ready for the battle of the season the following afternoon, when Ben Henderson probably will be opposed to Koy Castleton. the test Vernon bet. in the opening itam of what 1 forcasted to be the hardest-fought series of ths 1111 pennant race.

In 1909 Engle was switched to Seattle and Dugdale promptly won the bunting. Last season he went back to Vancouver and the club finished a close second and In 1911 he again finds himself with a pennant winner.

Portland is In second place In the Paclflo Coast League this morning two full games in the discard by virtue of a double-header that Jupiter Pluvlus, the old King Formaldehyde of baseball, refused to let go on yes terday with the San Francisco Seals. The percentage table reads like a strong -dose of garlic Vernon .596, Portland .691 for, while the Portland pennant chasers were fretting away the afternoon In the hotel corridors tucking away their bats and baggage. Vernon was busily engaged in sound ing the late Mr. Chopin's masterpiece to the Los Angeles loiterers, 3-1 and 10-S. Th butting In of the rain yesterday not only split vitriol over Hugh McCredle's expectation of a 13,000 record-breaking crowd, but It decreed that the Beavers will have to overcome si two-game lead In foreign territory In 23 games, both Portland and Vernon having the "skidoo" sign on the sched ule man. - a a a Some interesting conjecturing also sprouted forth from the newly sprinkled garden of gloom yesterday. For instance, can Vernon demand the playing of the games postponed in the last series up here? Can Portland force San Francisco to transfer yes terday's double-header to the last week of -the season at the Bay City? Caravaneer McCredle says that the managers concerned have the settle ment of the transferring procedure and that he will not play more than the two double-headers at VernoD. Umpire Van Haltren believes he is mis taken and cites the National League rules requiring the playing of all games before the close of the season. McCredle, at any rate, expects to Inves tigate fully while In San Francisco, a .a ' a "I am banking on my pitchers," said McCredle last- night as the Portland caravan swung aboard the Shasta Limited at the Union Station. "Hen derson will heave three games this week and, as he has won about five In six or seven starts against the Vil lagers this year, I figure we can count on the series." By a peculiar arrangement of the schedule, both Vernon and Portland have one of the three remaining weeks in San Francisco Vernon's schedule reading Portland eight games, Oakland at San Francisco eight games and Los Angeles at Vernon seven games, and Portland's schedule, Vernon at Los An geles eight games, Los Angeles at Los Angeles eight games, and San Francis co at San Francisco seven games. A plpesmoke drift to fragrant dreams over this last jaunt to fame or oblivion shows about an even break In booking, although Vernon has two leaders, Portland and Oakland, to meet while . the locals have but one prob able tartar on the programme.

All the Delicacies of Monkey Land Refused by Eve . of Jungles of Darkest Africa. NEW YORK, Oct 1. (Special.) De nied human speech, the plaintive groans of Madame Ningo tell a plaintive story of an almost Incurable malady, and one that keeps Dr. Reed Blair and two nurses on duty night and day. Although Madame Nlngo Is but a gorilla, her feelings are Just as sus ceptible as those of any 16-year-old girl sent to boarding school for the first time. Nostalgia Is the diagnosis, and that means homesickness. 'Madams Ningo seems to have made up her mind that only by dying can she return to the dear spot of her childhood days, where she clambered gaily' to the top of a tree trunk and Jabbered with her primitive relations. Madame Ningo now refuses all food and only groans when Curator Ditmars, of the New York Zoological Park, whose guest madame Is. makes desper ate attempts to entertain her. Sixty other gorillas have been brought at various times to the Zoological Park from Africa, but Madame Ningo Is the only survivor. Homesickness or aea eickness killed off every one. All the possible delicacies that could be prescribed by . a fashionable spe cialist in Gorilla Land have been of fered to madame. One sip of milk or one bite of a banana just ripe to a turn is all she will allow herself. Even that favorite gorilla luxury-r-plantaln stalk, has been refused by the patient. She seems to have resolved on starvation. ' It is feared that mourning will be in order shortly among the monkey deni zens of the zoo. CLOVER GROWERS LOSE Rain Hampers Farmers' Efforts to Harvest Largu Crop. WOODBUBN, Or., Oct. 1. (Special.) Much clover seed Is lying In the fields beoause of the inability of the threshers to handle the crop between showers. Hundreds of acres of ripe clover were dipped just before the recent rainfall and was saved only by systematic handling, which kept it from sprouting. The crop is a valuable one this sea son, and at the present price of $10 a bushel will net the growers about $25 an acre for seed taken from second cutting. Seed taken from first cutting will yield six to ten bushels an acre. From 20 acres on the Grover Sim mons farm, southeast of here. 200 bush els were threshed, which brought the owner about $100 an acre. Competition among buyers is very keen, as several eastern seea nouses have representatives In the field who are endeavoring to take all offered for shipment East. As a result, prices have advanced materially. Rain has again put a stop to opera tions and unless conditions improve many growers will be unable to take, advantage of the high prices offered, which will mean a heavy financial loss to them.
