They won today, IS to 4. the Beavers being; their victims. It was the third time this season the Solons had won the opening; game of a series and one of the few times in recent weeks they have won at all. It was such a Joke game, as far as the ability of the Portland pitchers were concerned, that even McCredie forgot to be grouchy and laughed pleasantly with the few fans present. . Three Pitchers Slaughtered. Higginbotham. Gregg and Suter were led in succession to the slaughter. iney were pounded for 17 safe swats, many of them being of the two-base variety. Opposing them was Munsell, who had only one bad inning. . Mun sell has been noted for wildness, but he was tight today and only one walk was charged against him. Back of Munsell there was a bunch of slug ging fiends, excepting Tommy Shee- han. who has been slowing up in his work greatly of late. Tommy was the only benator to stay, out of the hit column. Higginbotham was knocked out early, with three runs in the first as a result of two doubles, a single and a triple. The Solons added an other In the fourth on two hits and a wild pitch. Nine Senators Face Grearg. In the sixth inning all nine Sena tors were at the bat and the game was cinched. Two two-baggers, three, sin gles and a wild pitch by Gregg counted for five runs. Two more runs were added in the seventh. Butcher and Doane opened the Fort- land half of the, seventh with two- baggers and Rapps singled, Rapps going to second in the effort to catch Doane at the plate. Rapps went to third on Fisher's out and scored when Kreltz let the ball go by him, making three runs for the inning and a total of four for the game. Score: Portland: I Sacramento: Ab.H.Po.A.E.'

NUMBER PLAN FAILS ft i !$ Two-League Magnates Find No Merit in Arm Bands. COAST RACE IS EXCITING Vernon and Los Angeles Change In Holding Lead Four Times In ' One Day Umpire Cy Townsend Is Released. , BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. At least two Pacific Coast League bosses have arrived at the conclusion that the Bertillon system, when ap plied to ball players, Is a failure, and 1912 will undoubtedly see the passing of what promised to be a boon to fan dom. Happy Hogan, manager of the Vernon Tigers, and W. W. McCredie, president of the Portland club, are both of the opinion that the numbering of the stars by sleeve bands correspond ing to numbers In the score books has been a dismal experiment. Let the directors provide a huge bulletin board in view of the audience and then maybe the placarding will be success," is the view expressed by Hogan when here last week. "The num bers on the sleeves can then be com pared to those on the board. Sleeve bands, however, are too small. The present trial has been a fizzle." President Mcureaier tnougn one 01 the most consistent champions of the idea advanced by Ed Walter at the start of the year, agrees with Hogan. W. W. Metzger, holder of the conces sion at the local park, also adds his note to the symposium with the infor mation that numbering the men did not help out the sale of the scorecards, as was expected. What's a teeter-totter? Quite elemen tary. Dr. Watson. It s Los Angeles and Vernon doing an Alphonse act on the top rung in the Coast League. Fin- negan and the elusive pea under the walnut have been relegated1 to the rear pew. After five distinct seismo graphlc disturbances within - the past week the two Southern California clubs are this morning tied for first place. The fluctuations last Sunday estab lished a new standard In baseball kln- etoscoping. Both clubs indulged in dou ble-headers. And here s the fruit of a microscopic research conducted by Har ry Williams, the clever writer who is doing baseball on the Los Angeles Times: Slajjdins: in morning Played. W.

Yes, in deed, there are nervous days ahead for Happy Hogan and Frank Dillon. The Seraphs, especially, are now in the bal ance, for the squad Is somewhat di lapidated physically. Daley, Core, Moore and Howard are ail nursing game legs, while Tozer is suffering a fractured left arm. Hogan believes that Oakland will finish ahead of the An gels.

The fatal message ' drifted in between the games of a double-header and Cy's tempestuous career ended right there. He returned to his res taurant la Watsonville. This makes the second umpire fired by Al Baum before Portland fans had a chance to pass judgment. ' "Sandow ' Mertes preceded him to dreamy desue tude after a trial of several weeks. Frank Newhouse, a former Texas League arbiter, has been signed to take up Cy's umpirical duties. Newhouse is a prizefight trainer, possessed of a cauliflower ear and a pair of bulging biceps, which would seem to' Indicate admirable qualifications for the job. Perle Casey has been the one big find of the year. All the managers and players agree that the ex-Beaver and Colt has "made' good" frem the start. Hildebrand Is likewise a good arbiter and he will likely have chargeOf the three series yet to be disposed of on the Portland grounds, for Casey has been up here two times already. IXTEiRCLCB SWIM IS PROPOSED Spokane Aqnatlc Stars May Vie TV'ith Multnomah in Water. Once again the talk of a Multnomah Spokane interclub swimming meet has been revived. Harry Goetz, one of the Spokane cracks, visited in Portland yesterday In a effort to start the ball rolling. He thinks the Washington aquatic stars can defeat Cavill's lumin aries and predicts a financial success for a meet of this character. By way of a "feeler," Goetz closed a deal with Arthur Cavlll for an ex hibition next week in Spokane --in the Natatorium pool. Cavlll will likely take Lewis Thomas along with him and if so the boys will clash in a few match events. Baseball Statistics STANDING OF THE LEAGUES. " American League. W. L. P.C! W. L. P.C.

At Portland Vancouver 4, Portland 3 (10 Innings). t At Spokane Spokane 3, . Victoria 3. At Seattle Seattle 4, Tacoma 0. BY JAMBS H. CASSELI. An erratic heave which felled Back stop Lewis, a sacrifice hit, followed by a stolen vbase and a sacrifice fly to deep center, gave Vancouver a 4-3 10-inning victory over the Portland Colts yesterday afternoon. The Colts outhit the Champions 2 1-2 to one, the hit count standing four for the Canadians against 10 for. the Equines, but Bill Bloomfield and Toots Agnew presented Brown s men with three runs in the fifth inning, and the combination mentioned in the opening paragraph resulted in the sec ond defeat of the series for the Port landers. While Pat Callahan's Indifferent per forming enabled the Canucks to pull the game out of the fire in the extra inning his sensational relief work in tho fifth "period compelled his op ponents to fight every inch of the way for victory. He broke into the game with the bases full and not a man out, and retired the side without a run. : Colta Take Early Lead. The Colts broke into the run column for the first time on their final home trip in the third Inning, scoring two runs for a lead of that denomination. Williams opened with a single to right. and was sacrificed to second by Bloom- field. Mahoney dropped a Texas Leaguer over first and Williams scored. Fries beat out a grounder to Scharney and sent Mahoney to third. A double teal was successfully executed, Ma honey sliding under Lewis at the plate. Only one hit had been secured off Parson" Bloomfield's efficient curves until the fifth inning, but in the sec tion of the game the Antioch man col lapsed, Kippert, the first . man up, walked. Brinker sent a short single over third. SchaTnweber was hit by pitched ball, filling the bases. Lewis scored Kippert with a single to cen ter and Bloomfield was sent to the bench. Toots" Agnew, the former Vancouver heaver, then made a brief and in glorious debut in a Colt suit. He walked Schmutz and James, forcing in two runs, and then gave way to South paw Callahan. Callahan Stops Slide. Callahan foffced Bennett and Good man to pop up weaKiy to the inneia. With two Btrikes and three balls on Frisk, a Vancouver procession was tarted for the plate, but Lewis left too soon, Callahan not being on the rubber, and. a wide peg to Burch caught Lewis and retired the side. The Colts tied the score on (jnariie Schmutz et al in the eighth inning, Mahoney singling, going to second on Fries' sacrifice, and scoring on Mc Dowell's pinch hit to left. The winning run was effected In the 10th, Lewis being hit by a pitched ball, and sacrificed to second by Schmutz. Callahan's slow delivery and Burch's muff enabled Lewis to steal third, from where he scored on James' long fly to Mahoney. It seemed a piece of poor judgment to permit Callahan to open the 10th at bat, particularly with Doty avail able to start a batting rally. Pat fanned, and after Mahoney had reached first on James" bobble. Fries and Mc Dowell were easy outs. Two Double-Headera Scheduled. Arrangements were concluded for two double-headers, starting Saturday at 2 o'clock, and Sunday at 1:30. It will bring the series to eight games. Instead of the six called for by the schedule. Doty will pitch for Portland in to day's game, opposed by either Willis or Byram. Tho score: Vancouver I Portland Ab.H.Po.A.E. AD.H.PO.A.E. Tames, 8b. B'nett.2b. G'lm'n.lb Frlsk.rf..

"Parson" left the tua sle with the score 3-1 In favor of Portland, but with three men on the bases and no outs. Tom Daly, the British Columbia pitching recruit who was with the Colts this spring, reported yesterday. He has been 111 prac tically all season. BUI Speas made two spectacular tosses. His heave of the ball following Klpperfs slow grounder in the sixth inning, together with Williams one-hand catch, was the fielding feature of the game. Two double plays were executed, each club chalking up one. One hit in six Innings was Callahan's pitching record, yet he lost the game.
