BEAVERS OFF FOR
CRUCIAL STRUGGLE
Pennant Hopes Are Pinned on
Coming Series With Hap
Hooan's Vernon Team.
PITCHERS KEYED FOR FRAY
McCredle. Confident of Winning
Ftre of Eight 0me With
Vernon, Which Virtual

BT W. J. i'ETRAHt.
Accompanied by 1 regular playT
ml Trainer Schmteder. 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.

Easterner for th pennant, aa" New
York la seven and one-half game in
the lead and Chicago haa only seven re
maining game on the schedule, while
New York haa It game to play.
New Tork' advantage Is now so
great that should Chicago win all her
remaining seven games New Tork will
have to win only three of her remain
ing 12 to capture tho flag. Should Chi
cago win all and New Tork but two
a tic for the pennant would result.
Today's game was a pitchers' battle
between Marquard. who was easy for
ths locals in one of the previous games,
and Richie who won the opening
game with ease. But Marquard
showed his old form and was almost
Invincible. He allowed the locals si
scattered hit, while Richie, who held
th Giant to three hits, up to the
eighth, weakened and wa hit hard.
Seven hit In these two Innings
netted five runs for New York.
Chicago got a man a far as third

b7 Peculiar' Trick: Play.
SPOKAJfE, Wash, Oct. 1. (Special.)
Both the Spokane and Portland teams
came up with a whoop In the final dash
for permanent positions In th official
Northwestern batting percentage
column. The net result of the day'
bombardment was 45 hits, 1$ for Spo
kane and 14 for Portland, which netted
an aggregate of runs, Spokane
winning by the scant margin of
II to 14. '
Cooney sprung the sensational trick
of ths day. Halting temporarily at
third base, with nobody out and Zim
merman batting, the soore tied In the
eighth Inning, he unbuckled the straps
that hsld the bag In position and when
Iashwood was not looking snaked the
base If feet up the line eo that when
Zimmerman popped up a short fly to
Stovall tn center, he was able to walk
home with the run needed to win.
The Portland players protested vehe
mently, but to no avail. Dashwood bad
not seen it. Th game was poorly
played, Portland's fielding being , off
color.
The five run scored by Cooney glv
him a season's record and put him far
In front of all other Northwestern play
ers In point of run getting. O'Loughlln
brok another season's record when he
Issued 11 bases on balls, allowed If
bits and still won hi game.
The eecond gam wa a faroe, players

inning, when, with three men on bases,
Keller hit a high one to deep center,
but Brlnker killed It with a sensational
one-hand catch. Score:

HARRT WOLVERTON,' of. the Oak
land team, has drafted BUI Leard,
the peppery little second-baseman of
the Seattle Northwestern Leaguers.
Wolverton sent In the kale when In
Portland on the last trip, but asked to
have the faot kept under cover until
the class B draft period closed on "Sep
tember 80. Leard Is one of the leading
base-stealers in the class B circuit,
hits well over .280, and received the
125 prise offered by a Seattle firm for
the most valuable member of the Giant
outfit. Wolverton is also jweet on

' George Englo, former v Portland
heaver, has a rabbit's hoof la hi to
bacco pouch. Oeorge haa been on more
pennant winners, perhaps, than any
other living ballplayer in an equal
length of time. Take bis record for
the last four seasons: In 1908 he
pitched ' Vancouver Into a pennant
along with Ed Erlckson and Rusty
Hall. 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. Three
pennants In four seasons is a pretty
fair percentage.

With th pennant aeonrely cinched,
the New York Giant official are busy
with additions to tho outfield bleach
ers. The new section will consist of
a seml-clrcle of clrou seats, built un
der the front wall of the bleachers and.
will bring the capacity up to at least
65.000. As Philadelphia is close to
New Tork the crowds will be able to
Journey back and forth with the teams
and a new world's series attendance
record will undoubtedly be set.

Brick Devereaux, the well-known

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. This
slight advantage, of course, is far and
away overbalanced by the two-gaine
lead and the fact that the Beavers are
playing on foreign aoix

other night that will long be remem
bered. The Oaklander came North with Ew
lng as a representative of the Oak
land, Alameda and Berkeley Elks,
to secure headquarters for 600 U 1000
visitors at the B. P. O. E. conclave next
July in Portland.
Seeking entrance at tbe reception
door of the looal lodgeroom Leavltt was
dumbfounded to discover . that his
Identification card bad been left In an
other suit at his home In Oakland.
"Of course, I was admitted to the
clubrooms, but I knew I could never
talk my way Into the lodge session
that night and I was up a stump,"
said the jovial Oaklander last night,
as he chuckled at the experience. "It
was absolutely essential that I appear
before the body, so I had Secretary
Spalding wire to the Oakland lodge,
asking If I was a member in good
standing and If I was delegated to act
for the Bay City antlered tribe."
"Don't know any Leavltt. Must be
some German lmposter," flashed back
over the wire, and the Californian was
In a bigger quandary than ever.
"But I had to Jimmy my way In
there If It took two dynamite bombs
and a gallon of nltro," added Leavltt.
"I hit the wire again and nearly burned
them up. I'll bet that yellow slip was
handled aa gingerly as a flake of

them up and Spalding got an O. K.

GORILLA GRAVES DEATH
MADA3IE NIXGO, "IX EXTRE.
3IIS," WOUD STARVE.
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.
