United States District Court Decision Fixes Responsibility lor Many Forest Blazes. By the terms ot a decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, which was handed down yesterdayln the United States District Court here, railway companies are made respon sible for all damage done by forest fires started by sparks from engines on forest reserves. The decision was given in the case of the United States against the Corvallls & Eastern Rail way Company, In which the higher court affirmed the decision of 1910, by the District Court here, holding tho railway company liable for $4500 dam age done by forest fires near Detroit, in the Cascade forest reserve. The case in the first place was in the form of a test of the law, and it is believed tbe decision of the higher court will make possible the collection of large sums from railroad companies for damage done by forest fires. The railroad companies are made just as responsible to the Government on forest reserves as to farmers along tts right of way, the Government hold ing the right to collect damages from the lines for. every fire Set by sparks from engines. It is believed the decision will have the effect of making '.he railway com panies more careful and will go a long way toward eliminating forest-fire troubles in forest reserves crossed by railway lines. The case is the first of the kind to be settled definitely, and it is believed It will be of utmost Im portance.

McCredie's City Chaps' Humble Villagers. SCORE, 6 TO 3, TELLS TALE Crumbling of House of Hogan Heard Above Rooters' Din. BEAVERS' WORK SUPERIOR Henderson and Teammates Hava Bad Start but After Steen Goes ' in Portland Players Hand- .... lly Overtake Vernon. BY W. J. FETRAIN. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6. (Special.)" Walter McCredie's champion Beavers triumphed over Happy Hogan's would be champions today in the second gams of the series. It was a decisive vic tory. The final score was 6 to S and it required only nine innings for Port land to gain the decision. While Portland excelled in every de partment the Villagers battled hard In the earlier rounds and made a strong bid for the game. Most of Vernon's chances were due to the wlldness of Benny Henderson, who started the game, and to an error by Bill Steen, who relieved the big pitcher after two men had been passed In the third In ning. The Portland outfield was not quite up to form during the first part of the game. After the third inning Steen pitched great ball and worked like a Trojan to win the game. Not once did the Beavers falter in their attack against their former team mate, Al. Carson, who did the honors for Vernon, and upon whose chances of beating Portland the sports of this town wagered large sums. Vernon Fana Dejected. ' As a fesult Les-Angeles-Random, at least that portion of it which has pinned its faith In Hap Hogan, com prises a very dejected lot of people to night. The game showed the olass of the two teams so clearly that very few ot the most enthusiastic Hogan support ers can be found who will not concede the championship to McCredie, and that gentleman Is about the happiest Indi vidual In Los Angeles tonight. Speak ing of the "Joyful stuff," It might also be mentioned that 16 ball-tossers who disport in blue uniforms the Beavers affect on the road are no less pleased than McCredie. For six innings Carson worked nice ly and held Portland to two runs and three hits, while Henderson's wlldness and Steen s error gave the Villagers the lead, as the Hoganite crew tallied one run In the second off Henderson and one each In the fourth and sixth off Steen. Hogan Waxes Merry. With the score in his favor, Hogan "ragged" the Beavers continually and the overflow crowd rent the air' with, all sorts of noise-producing devices. But all of this found the Portland champions displaying their "class" and maintaining a bold front. They came right back at the Tigers at their own game. The Hogan crowd could not stand the gaff and wilted under the strain. Portland put a crimp In the village lads' chances by scoring two runs in the seventh, another In the eighth and the final and sixth tally was shove3 across in the ninth. Once the Beavers started it was so easy that most of the crowd started homeward. The exodus began in the seventh, when Portland lambasted Car son for a couple of long bits and took the lead away from the Tigers; and when the champions continued to score in the following Innings, with the Vernon chances looking slimmer and slimmer every minute, unhappy hundreds turned their backs on ths slaughter of Tigers. Outfield Has Off Day. '-, Tbe Beaver outfielders, while they were not Interfered with by the crowd today, did not behave In the field with, their customary dash and energy. Hits dropped between Krueger and Ryan and Chadbourne and Krueger which, ought to have been caught, and had they been captured Vernon would have been shut out. Vernon tallied the first run of tho game in the second inning. Brashear was first man up' and he got two bases on a dinky Texas Leaguer which ought to have been corralled by either Krue ger or Chadbourne. McDonnell caught the Portland infield up in the air and his Intended sacrifice went for a bit because Lindsay covered third and Pecklnpaugh was off his balance and could not field the ball, which permit- i ted Brashear to reach third. This gave I the Vernon rooters a chance to turn loose. Henderson put everything he had on the ball in the effort, to get Burrell, but he failed to get the globule over the dish and Burrell's pass filled tba sacks. Hap Hogan hit a dinky boun der to Pecklnpaugh, who could not get Brashear at the plats and one ran scored. Henderson fanned Carson, but Car lisle walked, again filling the sacks. Ross filed to Ryan, who made a tin catch and the side was out. In the third inning, after Henderson " (Concluded on Page 10.)
