Walter McCredie 'outwitted Sacra mento yesterday and Portland won the first game of the series. 7 to 5. mainly through the terrific bombardment of Captain Bill Rodgers.- . .- - - Manager Van Buren's scheme, so the hawkshaws report., was -.to let the Beavers run themselves tired for four innings, and then go out ana Dear mnn o a pulp. He searched the bench for sacrificial offerings and then sent the Hawaiian, Williams, out to break the Jinx. But, "A. Conan' McCredie. . deduced the fell plot. . He met fire by" fire, and by the time the two clubs finished up on Williams and K6estner. Portland had 11 bits and Sacramento 10. The score then, at the end- of the fourth inning, stood 7 to 5 for Portland. .There was no-scoring after that, for both teams were fagged out.- - Klawitter and Fitzgerald finished the game and the) transformation from the slugfest to pitchers" duel was as marked as the changes tn a rural drama. And that's about the unkind est comparison listed In the rhetoric. KoMtner In Hit Hard. Koestner. as a matter of history, did not last the four innings. The going got so bumpy in the fore part of the Inning with doubles by Miller and Cheek, a single by Williams and a walk on the schedule that McCredie mo tioned him to the storage department before a man had been retired. His successor allowed only five bits in the six rnnings, while Fitzgerald was more miserly still. He mounted the rub ber in the fifth Inning and was touched up for one hit in the remaining four stanzas. - - - But. to make the transfer back to Bill Rodgers! The scrappy captain came up "three times In the four ses sions against Williams, and the least he could do was three doubles. He drove In one of the seven tallies and scored three others himself. It was quite a healthy afternoon s work and Rodgers is expecting two In vitations out to dinner this week one from Koestner. who gets credit for the victory, although driven from the mound, and the other from the astute manager, Walter the first. Senators Have Sew Shortntop. The Senators Introduced a new short stop In the person of Orr. a youthful ranger discovered in the briny wilds of Salt Lake City by Joe Tinker, tried out by the Cubs and sent back for more seasoning to Sacramento. Orr secured a couple of hits and fielded cleverly, although nervousness cost him one In expensive bobble. Catcher Cheek was the Sacramento star with three hits In four trips to the plate. He drove in two runs by a double in the third inning. At the start of the third inning the visitors led by a score of 2 to 1. O'Rourke's double and Orr's single gave Van Buren one run in the first, and consecutive singles by Irelan, Cheek and Williams added another In the second inning. The Beavers cinched the bloody af fray in the third by banging out five hits good for five runs. For once they bingled when binaries meant scores. A walk to Bancroft started the pro cession. Rodgers followed with a double, tielng the game, whereupon toane, Howley, Kibble and Koestner hit safely and crammed in the other four. Kibble Hit In Two Ran. Kibble's single, a tiny leaguer over the infield, was responsible for two of the tugs at the bell cord. Doubles by Rodgers and Butcher tallied the final run in the fourth In ning, after which Fitzgerald supplanted Williams in the flingers' stand. The vore: Sacramento. I Portland.

Of the 169 aanlranta for the National lawn tennis championship in singles, who were on. the entry list yesterday, only 35 re mained In the running when play closed todav. Althoueh two scores of matches were played today, there were no un expected results and the survivors are considered the pleat of the American tennis players. The National championship in doubles was to have been decided today, but Thomas C. Bundy, of Los Angeles, one of the challengers, developed a slight illness last night and the holders, Ray mond 0. Little and Gustave Touchard, of New Tork, generously requested a day's delay. . Instead of the doubles event, the committee Immediately staged a lively contest in singles between ex Champlon William J. Clothier, of Phil adelphia, and Edward P. Larned, of Summit, N. J. Clothier won In straight sets, but every game was hotly contest ed.

The McMinnville Tigers Jour neyed to Salem Sunday to wrest the championship from the Capitol City boys, but because of a little hard luck due to Salem's slow grounds were de feated by a score of 3 to 2. The game waa crowded with features. Lefty Hewett, who pitched better ball than Baker, the Salem pitcher, seems to be a hard luck twirler. Hewett struck out 12 men and Baker nine, and each pitcher allowed six hits. Baird and Courtney each connected with Baker's slants and drove them over the fence, completing the circuit Baird, McMinnvllle's first sacker, re ceived a letter from Manager Dugdale, of Seattle, requesting him to report next Spring for a tryout with Seattle. McMinnville fans are of the opinion he win matte gooo. On two different occasions Hewett. w'ith the bases full and no one out, fanned the next three men at bat. It seems odd some manager does not grab this boy Hewett. as he has everything on the ball and would, in a few seasons in fast company, develop Into a great pitcher. It is believed. McMinnville has a fast aggregation in the following lineup: Courtney, catcher: Hewett, pitcher; Baird. first base; Bishop, second base; Hogan, shortstop; Manning, third base; Houck, left field: Rogers, center field, and Adams, right field. McMinnville will !play Sherwood at that place next Sunday. The batteries in Sunday's game were: Salem, Baker and Baker; 1 JP-MiriivMlo; H?wett snd Courtney. "FT- -v.

Miserable support so handicapped Doty in today's game that he stood no chance to beat Smith, the Bee flinger. who held the Colts runless. All three of Victoria's runs were gifts, pure and simple. In the open ing session two boots by Speas and an overthrow to first by McDowell put Victoria two up and in the eighth, with two . already down. Meek was struck out, but the third strike filtered through Burch and Rawlings scam pered in from third with the Bees' final count. Smith was never in dan ger. Only In one Inning did Portland get more than one man on bases and on that occasion nifty fielding by Rawlings and Kellar killed off the two runners. The feature of the game was McDowell's spectacular one-handed grab of Weed's smashing grounder in the sixth, which robbed Victoria of another run. Brooks being on second. Umpire Toman made one decision that c'en Portland players admitted was rank. Mahoney attempted a shoe string catch of a short fly from Tone's bat. but didn't hold the ball. Never theless his umps called Yohe out. In the eighth inning Doty retired Victoria with three pitched balls. The score: Portland I Victoria AD.H.PO.A.E. Ab.H.Po.A.E. Hausn.Sb 4 10 1 0 Yohe.3b..

Helen Mistletoe, the two-year-old pacer owned by George Parker, ap pears to have been the surprise of the Saturday programme at the North Pa cific race meet at Vancouver, B. C. The colt won two straight heats in a field of fl,ve starters, negotiating the second heat of the half-mile course in 1:12. "My horse was the only Portland stepper to win a first up to the time I left," exclaimed Mr. Parker enthusi astically, upon his return from the north. "C. W. Flanders drove Helen Mistletoe and expects to place her In the. Futurity at Salem. "Mistletoe led easily in the first heat, but broke coming down the stretch and won only after a tight struggle in 1:1714. The favorite had an accident at the start and did not circle the course. The officials allowed this Ca nadian colt to enter the second heat, however, and the two horses finished almost a dead heat. Mistletoe was perhaps a nose behind, but the judges gave my horse first money because the other had not gone the first heat route." Mr. Parker says C. W. Flanders drew 14th In a list of 17 starters for Canta trice, so it's little to be wondered that this Portland favorite did not capture the purse. NEW HAMPSHIRE RACES BEGIN Branham Baughnian Takes 2:05 Pace and Wins $3000 Purse. SALEM, N. H., Aug. 20. Showers to day made the attendance light at the opening of the grand circuit meeting at Rockingham Park. "The Hub," for 2:05 pacers, valued at 33000. was the feature. "Long Shot" Cox, the New Hampshire driver, had the winner In Branham Baughman. fa mous as the biggest money-winner of all pacers In 1911. He led all the way In each of the three heats. Frank Murphy, of Suffield. Conn., won the 2:18 trot with Key Note In a handy way. Susie Wood, the Provi dence mare, scampered off with the initial heat and the contest from that point was to determine which of the field could drive out the winner.
