Mom. Henley, the thin flanked fling
rr of the Seals, convinced the Bearers
yesterday that he l a pitcher. Henley
hell TortlanJ to seven hit, won his
second game of the week ami cinched
three games of the fire for the visitors.
Score, i to 3.
That the humane way to tell the
atory.
Play slow, slow music, that simple
little thins by Chopin, for the real
version, for Ifa a sad. sad tale to tell,
marking aa It does another rout for
Speckled Harkness.
For five innings Speck was a won
der. He allowed but two scattered
blowa and waa leading 5 to when he
climbed to the mound In the desecrat
ing sixth.
Beat Hall Oae Flrat.
Then, his best ball was the one to
first base. A single, a double, two
singles, two walks and another single.
That's what dropped In the fatal sixth.
Tbre's not one soft -note In it. Twere
enough to get lUmmrd hsrd without
walking In runs. And Speck did eren
that with the bases Jammed and
Catcher Berry at the bat.
San Francisco's hirelings had almost
run themseives out of breath when Mc
t'redie yanked Harkness and Installed
Temple. The bis Southerner mowed
iown the first two men with much
finesse and finished the game three
" and two-thirds Innings without allow
ing a hit.
All of which strengthens the argu
ment that Manager McCredle could
well have motioned Harkness to the
basement long ere he did for the five
scores registered in that awful ascen
sion were all the Seals could muster.
Heaver Jams' late l-ead.
Xarknass' temporary aberration
spoiled the dinners of nearly S500 fans,
for quite that number yelled Ihem
vlvca hoarse In the last half of the
fifth, when "Howling Dan" Howley
caromed one of -Henley's slants off the
right-field wall and scored Lindsay,
who had doubled as second man up.
Bancroft, on third by virtue of a neat
single to short and Howley'a terrific
swat, scored a moment later on a wild
pitch. Howley was retired trying to
lg It home ahead of the throw on
i'hadbourne's fly. but with two runs on
the margin side nobody had the sllsht
rl premonition or fear of an Iceberg
on the route, for both pitchers had
been working in magnificent form.
While the sixth Inning furnishes
sbout as much amusement as a busier
when the dentist does houseclesning on
tooth with a nerve exposed, here It Is
t'ld Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jckyll Hark
nes?. Mohler opened with -a single to right
f.cld. ambling to third on a fierce wal
lop over Krueger's head by Johnson.
Howley retired Cleanup Man Hartley
n a high foul near the netting. Jack
on singled to right and to scramble
fully the effect Doane let the ball
slide through him to the fence. Two
tallied. Oedeon went safe on a short
lan to Rodgers and Corhan walked,
tilling the bases.

Get the situation now one out. bases

thetic. Speck tossed four wide ones to
Claude Berry and forced In Jackson.
Henley then slncled to left, scoring
CJedeon and Corhan. and Temple suc
ceeded Harknesa m the box.
The moral Is that a pitcher should
rot let up when his sirie Is a little
alicad.
Portland tried hard to vindicate the
nice things the fans hail conjured up
for them before the explosion, but one

I uv proved the limit, as Henley was
twirling manfully to right the wrongs
of a short man named Mr. Ing.
Too bad, this defeat chronology, for
-mtslde of the one slipup the Beavers
plaved wonderful ball In the field. Ban
croft at short had an Orrgon boot on
recktnpaugh and Olson. He was here,
here and everywhere, and his ona
band stop of Hartley's hit over second,
on which he nabbed Johnson at the
keystone, was as pretty a play as out
L-ould wish to see.

SEATTLE. Wash.. April 21. (Spe
cial.) In an Intensely exciting and by
far the best-played game of the pres
ent season. Seattle won from the Port
land Flpplns today in 11 innings by
a score of 3 to 2.
The crowd was big despite bad
weather. The score should have been
1 to 1 at the end of the 11th.
The first run was scored by the
Giants in the fourth, when Mensor lat
Dulln's scraggly grounder go through
his legs. Iulln stole second. Weed
fanned. McMullin lofted to right and
Fries being bothered by the fence
muffed the ball after making a nice
run to get under it. This moved ruliii
up to third. Raymond gave Williams
a grounder and he fired to the plate.
Harris had Dulin out but jn tho mix
up dropped the ball and the score
counted. 1
Doty Gets Better anil Better.
Seattle did not earn this run off
Doty's pitching. The Kalamazoo chap
was In fine form and allowed only two
singles In 10 innings. The farther he
went tho better he got and his sup
port was air tight.
In the sixth. Portland tied the score.
With two out. Speas put it over the
left field fence. Doty fanned in the
11th. Mensor gave Raymond a
grounder and .he made a bad throw.
Speas singled. With men on first and
second. Fries hit to Fullerton, who saw
he could not get Mensor at third and
then fired to second. It looked like
a clean out but the umpire said the
runner beat the ball. This filled the
bases and made everybody mad except
Portland. Strait gave Raymond a
f rounder. He had no chance to pre
cnt Mensor scoring, but got his man
at first. Williams skied to left. This
gave Portland the edge, 2 to 1.
Doubtful Decision Fatal.
Cruickshank batted for McMullin In
the last half of the 11th and got a sin
gle. Raymond drew a pass. Shea
popped to Mensor and Fullerton was
out. Doty to Williams. Stidello drew
a pass, filling the bases with two out.
Mann, with the count two and two,
let one go that looked good. It may
have been a trifle low-.
The umpire called a ball. On the
next pitching Mann hit to the left
field fence scoring two runs and win
ning the game. The score:

EARTHQUAKE HERO IS HE
As Newspaper Man. He Won Fame
and Paved Way for National
Recognition of Pacific
Circuit,
BY JAMES II. CASSELU
From telegrapher to Pacific Coast
League president via ft sporting edi
tor's desk, is the brief summary of
the career of Allan T, Baum, head of
the Coast baseball circuit, who passed
three days in Portland last week.
Baum graduated from school Into a
telegraphers' office in 1889. pounding
the keys at the behest of the electric
click until 1905, when he took charge
of the Hearst Service on the Pacific
Coast. Three years ago opportunity
knocked at his door in the shape of
the sporting desk of the San Fran
cisco Examiner, and, after three sea
sons of baseball writing he became
the head of the Pacific Coast Baseball
League, the "AA" circuit of organized
baseball.
Always am Ardent Fun.
As a youngster Baum aspired to be
come a telegrapher. He had his .wiBh.
and officiated at an instrument for the
Western Union and Associated Press,
finally going to the Hearst wire, and
eventually to the head of the Coast
service. An ardent fan. Baum was a
well-known figure at baseball games,
and when a vacancy occurred at the
head of the Examiner sporting depart
ment he applied for the berth and
landed.
Last Fall, when the Pacific Coast
magnates were looking about for a
man to succeed Judge Graham as
president, Baum's name was immedi
ately presented as a candidate. He had
the hearty support of the San Fran
cisco officials and the other club own
ers, favorably impressed by his fair
ness and poise as a baseball writer,
needed no arguments to give him their
vote.
Newspaper Hero In Earthquake.
Baum's most noteworthy newspaper
feat was tho handling of the San Fran
cisco earthquake and fire of 1906 for
the Hearst papers of the country, com
bined with his enterprise In joining
with five other newspaper men in the
issuing of a Call-Chronicle-Examiner
edition at Oakland on April 19, using
the Oaklanu Tribune press for the com
bined earthquake issue of the three
San Francisco morning dailies.
Baum's presidency was inaugurated
under the most auspicious circum
stances, the National Association of
Minor Baseball Leagues granting the
Pacific Coast League, together with
the American Association and the In
ternational, an "AA" rating within a
few davs after the telegrapher-newspaper
man took office. He attended
the meeting at San Antonio, the league
directors making him president by tele
graph in order that he might- be on
hand to represent the Coast, and It was
largely due to hhs work that the league
now ranks Just a notch below tho nia-
3The new Coaster president Is a stick
ler for discipline on the ball field, as
indicated by the five-day suspension
meted out to Pitcher Gllligan of Port
land for his run-in with an umpire in
the second week of the season. He
believes that the only way to glvo the
Coast League a ranking to compare
with the other top-notch circuits of
the country is to enforce the same dis
cipline, and compel the public to rec
ognize that "bush" tactics have no
place in a league long graduated from
that class.
However. Baum would not permit
tht enforcing of discipline to injure
the life of a game. He believes that
coaching is essential to succeed, and
advocates the making of the ball
plaver the big figure on the diamond.
What is. is after, is the happy me
dium which permits of peppery coach
ing and the preservation of the proper
status of players and officials, giving
the public the best possible exhibition
of the National pastime. .
President Baum is a brother of
Charles Baum. pitcher on the Sacra
mento club.
