Vernon Puny in Third Game With Portland. WH;P WIELDED BY HARKNESS Hogan's Team Gets One Run; McCredie's Total Three.' NOISE-MAKERS GET HA! R&J Rooters' Din Seems More of "Jinx"' to Home Club Than Visitors. Ben Henderson Will Pitch for Cregonlans Tcday. BY W. J. PETBAIN. LOS AXGELES, Oct. 6. (Special.) By chasing over a flock of three runs in the second inning of the third game of the Portland-Vernon series this aft ernoon, the Beaver champions trimmed Hap Hogan's Tigers making three straight victories this week and seven straight wins over the Villagers. 'The final score today was 3 to 1 and the Beavers won because they played gilt-edged ball throughout the game and because Pitcher "Speck" Harkness was In his big-league form and held Vernon to three hits, two of which were of the scratchiest order. The big twirler worked like a vetgran and never faltered under the terrific on slaught of the strenuous Vernon root ers and their nerve-wrecking nols produclng devices. Din "Something Awful.'' The continuous din kept up by the "bugs" here is "something awful." Cliques of rooters gather in different portions of the stands but particularly behind the Beaver bench and keep up a chorus on automatically-worked "Klaxons," auto horns and "Gabriels," which Instruments, sounded in unison, make more noise than several boiler factories and dynamite explosions com bined. McCredie and his men give these strenuous rooters the laugh, for the noise has so far bothered the Vernon team more than It has the Beavers. The Portland players, however, do not think this sort of rooting Is very sportsmanlike, and do not hesitate to tell the fans operating these devices of how they look at it. At the end of every game the Beavers, led by Bill Rapps and Buddy Ryan, rnsh to the front of the nearest box in which a huge "klaxon" has been located, and give the fans operating it the merry ha! ha! Hogau Tries Raleigh. Hap Hogan thought Jack Raleigh would be his best bet today and the slim southpaw was trotted out to the slaughter. That the drubbing of Raleigh was not worse was due to the fact that the Portland players became over-anxious to clout out drives after Harkness got to going so good. At no time in the game was there any doubt as to the result. The Beavers trotted In and out from the field on the run and each man wore a confident smile, while gloom hovered about Hap Hogan and his men, who slunk on and off the field like beaten men after Portland scored three times in the second Inning. Buddy Ryan wa the first Beaver up in the second stanza and he laced the first ball pitched to right field for a single. Sanson pulled off a really good stop of the ball, which prevented Buddy from taking two sacks. Artie Krueger then poled one a mlle-a-mln-ute Into center field, but Carlisle fielded the hit In time to hold Ryan at second. Peckinpaugh fanned in his anxiety to kill the ball, but Mickey La Longe was hit by a pitched ball and the sacks were loaded with Beavers. Raleigh fanned Harkness, the next bat ter up, while the latter was "fixing" Hogan' mask. It was a ruse of Ho gan's, which Harkness took in good part. Thia put two Beavers in cold storage and the sacks still filled. Baddy Ryan Scores. Chadbourne slammed a sizzling sin gle into left field and Ryan tallied. Toung Rawlings messed up Rodgers' hard hit infield tap and Krueger scored. Bill Lindsay uncorked a drive to center field and Lalonge tallied the third run. This was all In the score line for the Beavers, although they had men on the bases in nearly every innhiff afterwards, the Vernon infield closed down and pulled off timely plays which prevented any more tallying. Harkness, however, was too good for Hap and his trampled Tigers, who are seemingly hopelessly beaten. Hark ness pitched great ball. The only legi timate hit secured off his delivery was Patterson's clean bingle to center In the ninth, which scored Carlisle) with the only Tiger run. The other two Vernon blngles were flukes. Patter eon dropped a Texas leaguer into right field in the first inning and Stlnson beat out a bunt to Lindsay in the seventh. These were the only things that resembled hits allowed by Harkness until Peckinpaugh pulled off a highly sensational stop of McDon nell's drive which wound up the garni In the ninth Inning.
