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

The other crippled Bill Rapps witnessed
the game from the grandstand. Rapps' doc
or has diagnosed his injury as a broken rib
ind he mav he out for two or three weeks.
First Baseman Miller's ankle Is still both

Cheek scored In the third Inning on a
reaky pla He drove In Miller and Ire
ian by a double into left field, took third

as the ball hit Irelan and bounced into the
players' bench. That's where Bancroft got
lis error. . -
Chadhourne negotiated neat running
atch of Cheek's foul In the eighth Inning.
Perhaps that's why Cheek didn't secure four

aged to buckle down and pull out with
the Irrigators still wanting one run

M'MIXXVLLLE TIGERS TAMlA
Salem Team Trimmed Them Sunday
by Score of 3 to 2.
M'MINNVILLB. Or., Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) 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;

VICTORIA, B. C, Aug. !0.--(Special.)
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:

HELEN MISTLETOE SURPRISES
George Parker's Horse Shows Well
at Vancouver Harness Meet.
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.
