L Higglnbotham was rushed to the rescue and successfully bridged the jighth-inning chasm, but Vernon came fcack in the ninth and tied the score, i to 7, on a double by Bayless. a triple by Agnew his third hit and a poor ihj-ow by Bancroft. j Krueger, as first man for the Bea- nr In the ninth, shoved his foot In front of a slow bail and" bluffed his way to first, from whence he made the dltcuit on two sacrinces ana xtapps ilitrd drive to centerfleld. Four thou sand fans then rushed for bathtubs. ;. Carson began for Vernon, but was jerked after one bad inning, when sin gles by Doane and Rodgers and Chad Ixturne's triple tallied two runs. Southpaw Raleigh relieved him and Ms hit-hard for five Innings, retiring if favor of Gray in the seventh, with tne score to against him. - Gray finished strong, but the combination in the ninth, topped off by Rapps' single, tut a dent in his winning percentage.

Rodgers, Rapps and Ainew secured three hits apiece, while Kruegr secured a triple, two walks and a life on a dead balL Hogan's lineup was practically the same as he showed on his last appear ance here. Johnny Kane being the lone exception, but McCredie had a couple of kinks In his battle array. Bancroft appeared at his old hole at short, where he cut off two runs by spectacular fielding, and Chadbourne went back to left field. Chadbourne secured one hit a triple and Ban croft one a double though brisk work by Hosp robbed him of a hit tn the first Inning. The pennant-raising festivities proved pretty much of a "frost," If such a thing is possible with the mer cury at the -SS station. No frantic cheering, no ripple of excitement, no brass band signalized the flaunting of the coveted banner In fact, not a half dozen fans in the stand had their eyes focused fiagpolewards as the ground keeper took his halt hitch on history. Hoajaaj Wants So Doable-Header. Hogan has demurred against a double-header Sunday, on the alibt that his team is crippled, so two double headers will have to be played on the occasion of the final Vernon appear ance In Portland next August. Vernon will likely use Hitt today against S li ter. The Vernons did not arrive In Port land until o'clock Wednesday morn ing, having been held up behind -a freight wreck near- Grants Pass for 10 or 12 hours. The score: .' Vernon .'

KALAMAZOO, Mich, July-17. Esther W.. a 9-year-old mare which until this year had been seen only on the half mile "brush" tracks of Ohio and Penn sylvania, won the rich $1000 paper mill stake for 2:11 trotters, in a thrilling race today on the grand cir cuit. The mare was sold last year for 17500. Baden made a poor showing. Esther W. lost only one heat Bergen, driven by Geera, made a remarkable dash on the home stretch, winning the first heat with Marigold, Oakdale and the Wan derer all racing home ahead of Esther W. In the second heat Oakdale followed Esther W. by a length under the wire. Esther W. had no difficulty in taking the third heat, but the fourth proved to be one of the closest contests of the day. Esther W. was leading the field at the half mile, Oakdale, Miss Archdale and Baden closely following. Noses apart, the four came down the home stretch until Baden broke, throw ing the field apart and leaving Esther W. nearly a length in the lead. Although Beth Clark was the favorite in the 2:22 pace, she was defeated by Warner Hall In the five heats. In tho second heat Beth Clark was driven a mile in 2:05, the fastest time made on the Kalamazoo track this season. NEW FXVIXG CliCB IS URGED Suspended Aviators Would Revolu tionize Status of Sport. LOS ANGELES. July 17. As a result of the suspension of eight licensed aviators by the Aero Club of America because of their alleged participation in an unsanctioned meet at Boston, steps were taken here today for the forma tion of a new club, which. It was stated, would revolutionize the flying game in America. The aviators suspended were: Glenn H. Martin, Lincoln Beachey, C. K. Hamilton, Farnum Fish, Paul Peck, holder of the American endurance record; P. W. Page, Arch Freeman and T. J. Terrill. It was said these men had asked the Los Angeles Athletic Club to take the initiative in controlling aviation and settle the status of flying as a sport, tn the hope that other athletic clubs of the country would follow suit. E HORSES, NOT HORSEMAXSHIP, COUNTED AT OLYMPIAD. United States Army Officers Fourth 'in General Military Competition at Games at Stockholm. STOCKHOLM. July 17. The fifth and last event in the military riding com petition at the Olympic games today saw the United States team retrograde from second to third place. Four teams competed, Sweden, Ger many and the United States, each rep resented by tour men, and France by three. The English and Danish riders abandoned the competition. The style and appearance of the horses ridden by the officers counted largely In this event. The foreign of ficers had animals which were far more costly than those of the Ameri cans. Horses, rather than horseman ship, turned the scale. The individual scores in this competition, after tne completion of the fifth event today. were: Norlander, Sweden, first, with 46.59 points; Rockow, Germany, second, with 46.42 points: Certen, France, third. with 46.36 points. Then came two Swedish officers and one German, with fractions over 46 points, and these were followed by First Lieutenant Ben Lear, lath Cavalry, who is placed seventh, with 4S.91 points; First Lieutenant J. C. Montgomery. Seventh Cavalry, ninth. with 46.88 points: Captain Guy V. Henry. Thirteenth Cavalry, 11th, with 45.54 points, and First Lieutenant E. F. Graham, Fifteenth Cavalry. 13th, with 45 SO points. The American onicers emDarKeo on the Finland, which sails for Dover to night, and thus will miss the banquet which is to be given to the military competitors. The official record of the combined scores in the five competitions in wftich the military officers participated shows that Sweden is first with 54S points; France second with 538 and Germany third with 530. The United States takes fourth place with 527. BEAVERS TO PLAT CHEHALIS Portland Team to Go to Washington Town July 22. f CHEHALIS. Wash.. July 17. (Spe cial.)

Twenty-seven ball players, including seven pitchers, scrambled through two and a quarter hours of ball playing .at Recreation Park this afternoon before Spokane finally emerged the winner, 7 to 5. The game started like another walk away and three straight for Portland, Williams' men shoving five runs over in the third inning. - largely through Cadreau's poor fielding, two singles,' a long double by McDowell and a squeeze play being the direct contributing lac tors in the run-getting. But the In dians kept steadily at it. Tonneson's laziness resulted in his ejection in the fourth, after he had wild-pitched home the Indians' first run. Veasey was wild and he gave way to Eastley. after walking the first two up in the seventh. Eastley could not find the plate and walked two, forcing one over. A sacrifice fly countea an other. Johnson was stupidly thrown out at the plate on Devoght's short fly that McDowell could not aulte reach, mas lng two out, with runners on second and third. Having used up every avail able batter In uniform. Ostdlek had to let Paul Strand bat. It was lucky for Spokane that this was the case. . for Strand ripped one through Eastley too hot to handle and the two winning runs came over. Another for good measure came in the eighth on Melchlor's double and Powell's single. It was a weird game. After earnlna- the credit for the victory, Ostdlek removed Strand in the eighth on the bov's first Bign or weaKness, hurling Noyes, the fourth pitcher to be used during the melee, into the breach. Noyes fanned three of the five bats men that faced him. Cochrane looked' So good in the three innings be worked that Ostdlek will nrobablv call upon him tomorrow.

BUTCHER NOT IN UNIFORM Nap Outfielder May Play No, More With Beavers Krueger Makes His 100th Hit When He Slams Ball Against Big Sign. Willis Butler, shortstop secured by Portland from Toledo, has been turned back to the Cleveland Club, according to a well-founded rumor In baseball circles last night. Butler did not ap pear in uniform yesterday, Bancroft go ing back to his accustomed place in the infield. Another Beaver who failed to dress for Wednesday's opening game with Vernon was Hank Butcher, the stocky outfielder sent out by Cleveland a fort- night ago.' Butcher Is having some trouble over his salary and may not again appear In a local uniform. "We have . offered him as much as our boys are getting aiyi that's all he will get," declared President Mcureaie. Butcher Insists that it's quits for him. Supporting the rumor that Butler has been turned adrift is the authentic In formation from Manager McCredie, him self, that Butler left Wednesday night for Los Angeles, presumbly for the bed side' of a sick uncle. McCredie was reticent when ques tloned about Butler's disposal,, saying that he could get along without him now that Bancroft is back in shape. Butler has been hitting the ball at a terrific pace, his average to date be ing: .299. but in fielding he is inferior to his younger rival. His departure leaves the Beavers without an infield utility man. - a a Artie Krueger is the first Portland batsman to reach the 100 hit marK, ana curious enough. It was his hundreth swat that netted him the $50 for hit- tins: an advertising sign in right cen ter field. Krueger also hit the 250 sign last season. His batting average thus far In the campaign is .ill. -Krueger has always been regarded as a' wonderful hitter. During his last season with Oakland in 1906 he banged the leather at; a .316 clip in 211 games, hit well with Cincinnati and in 1909 at Columbus, in the American Assocla tion, he hit for .324 up to the final three weeks, hanging up the league record of 195 hits that Fall. In 1910 with Portland he led the Pacific Coast League and was a .280 slugger last season. Krueger is playing great ball for the Beavers. He is not a grandstand per former, but is one of the wisest and brainiest men in the league. ' . Referring to his pennant teams dur ing his seven years in the Pacific Coast League, Walter McCredie yester day characterized' the championship club of 1906 as the strongest ever put forth in the circuit. "We did not go into the lead until after July 4, but we clinched the -championship soon after," said he, as he watched the 1911 emblem mount to the top- of the centerfleld flagpole. "I had a grand bunch of players In Me Hale, Donohue, Sweeny, McLean and others that year. We could hit the ball awful hard. - .---.:' ''As-for my 1910 and-1911- teams, both won the titles in.tha.last two or three weeks away from home.-The 1910 club was the weakest-hitting . club I. ever- had, but the pitching of Gregg) Krapp, Steen and others held us up. We beat Oakland that Fall." Umpire Perle. Casey, whs was a member -of the 1910. bunch, disagrees with McCredie and vouchsafes his opin ion that the Olson-Gregg-Krapp club of 191C had any ol Mccredle's prede cessors faded.. . "But when you talk of ball clubs,' said Casey, "that Tacoma champion ship grabbing team of 1905 was the most formidable ever assembled In the West. We had Hogan and Graham catching. Overall, Keefe, Brown, Fits geral-i, Emerson, pitching, Nordyke on first, myself second, Egan short and Sheehan on third, and In the outfield Doyle, McLoughlin and Mike Lynch." . see Fielder Jones, president of the North western League, returned Monday from a short trip to Tacoma, where he saw the Tiger-Vancouver game of Sun day. Jones is satisfied with conditions around the circuit, and hoots at the Idea that . Watklns, the new Tacoma owner, is likely to throw up the sponge now that his pennant .possibility has degenerated into a hopeless case. "Watklns has nerve, and plenty of it. and while Tacoma Is not supporting the team with the brand of ball the Tigers are putting up, you'll find him at the helm at the finish." While Seattle -lost Bill James, their premier moundman, for 10 days when he sprained an ankle in practice, Dug- dale strengthened his twirling staff for the Vancouver series by trading Mc- Mullin and a player secured from the defunct Washington State League, to Tacoma for Gordon, the Tiger heaver. Fielder Jones says Perle Casey's um piring is as good as any he has seen this season, and styles the work of the ex-Portland player a grand.',' BILLIARD CHAMPION VISITOR Bert Cutler,'.
