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. .

Higginbotham. Gregg and Suter were

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:

COAST RACE IS EXCITING

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-

But the transpositions did not stop
there, for Monday Los Angeles took the

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

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.

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.

Notes of the Game.
"Ron Thrown and bis men made so much
noise on the bench that Umpire Van Haltren
threatened them with removal from the
park. When Bloomfield was chased they
chanted "We Want B11L"
Callah&n is one of the coolest young pitch

kt. However, he Is too alow, and paid tor

scoring, and would have charged the game
to Bloomfield had Portland not ilea ine
score In the eighth. "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.
