SEATTLE. Wuh. Sept. 17. (Spe
claL) Luck will beat a shotgun and
this phrase comes close to telling1 th
story of the game Seattle won from
Portland today by a score or s to x.
Portland hit Bill James, tho star
pitcher of the league, hard and often,
btnation that produced run luck fied
to tne otner siae oi 1.110 vauip.
It is a cinch that if good fortune
favors Seattle as it has against Victo
ria, and Portland, they will hold
the lead to the finish of the race.
Ma boner Makes Homer.
Tho only run Portland got was a
homer by Mahoney in the fifth, but
they came close to Seattle in number
of hits and their errors were of the
most aggravating kind. The ball
bounded Just right for Seattle and was
too low or high for Portland.
All this, taken into consideration
with the masterly pitching of Bill
James, was more than the Colts could
overcome.
Burch was knocked down by a foul
tip that hit him on the knee cap, but
he refused to quit and finished the
same In good shape.
Seattle got the lead in the first In
ning after two were out. Nill hit and
then WilBon poled the ball over the
right field fence. In the third three
hits and a pass, taken in connection
with a boot, let over four runs. Seat
tle was never In real danger after that,
although James had to pitch for all he
was worth in every inning, as Portland
was giving the fielders plenty of work.
Colts Lowe Chance at Start.
Seattle really won the game In the
first Inning, when Portland had the
bases full and failed to score, owing
to sensational pitching by James and
(treat plays by Mann, Nlll and Shaw.

fnM,-nhlfv Portland celebrated it
homecoming by lambasting the Angels
i to a. Vernon and Los Angeles are
now tied at .676, two games behind the
noli a whnsa social rating is .586.
Justin Fitzgerald, the nimble-footed
little outfielder, belonged to the Help,
ine- Hand Society yesterday.
It was his terrific hitting that spelled
dfifRjit for Southpaw Halla. First time
up Fitagerald doubled into right field,
tlelng the score 1 to 1. Two innings
later. In the fifth, he doubled over
liber's head and scored two more,
Those three eventually proved suffl
clent. '
Botk Pitchers Hit Hard.
Klawitter and Halla were both
touched up quit freely, but sensa
tlonal fleldlns- kept the score down
The hits were ten apiece, one of the
Angelic swats being a homo run by
Ivan Howard that-sailed high over the
rla-ht field fence. In the pinches
Klawltterwas more effective than his
bpponont. In the sixth Inning three
singles in a row by Heitmuller, Dil
lon and Page filled the bases, but with
two men out Klawitter fanned Lober.
The big righthander celebrated his
Detroit- drafting by making his sea
son s record 18 victories ana ten ae-
foats. It was his first game in over a
week, as he was ill during the Oakland
series.
Despite the fact that th Beavers
have been wobbling along tho trail the
past fortnight like a fat poodle dog
pursuing a meat wagon, a crowd of
2000 fans turned out for the first or
the final 18 games. And they, wit
nessed a beautiful contest. Six light
ning fast double plays three on a side
featured the fielding, but there, were
enough memorable stunts pulled off by
Krueger, Bancroft, Fitzgerald and Bor
ger to have sufficed for an entire
series.
X Angela Open Scoring.
The Angels opened the scoring with
one run in the third inning on Boles
hit to short, a sacrifice and Berger's
single, but a hit by Bancroft and Fitz
gerald's two-bagger down the right
field line in -the lattor half of the in
ning tied the score. 1
In the fifth Fits blazed out another
double for two runs. Krueger drove
Fitzgerald in, making it three for the
inning, and from that on the Beavers
were never headed. Klawitter and
Chadbourne were the tally bearers who
flashed across on Fitz' hit, Klawitter
having reached first on a scratch in
field tap and Chadbourne on a walk.
Howard's homer in the seventh with
nobody on tho bags brought the An-
gols up, -4 to 2, but a double steal by
Chadbourne and Fitzgerald, after both
had singled in the last of the seventh.
recouped that embryonic spurt of the
pennant contenders. Chadbourne Bcored,
giving him two. filched bases for the
inning, as he also purloined second off
Catchet Boles. The score:

Art Krueger had an opportunity to- make
an unassisted double play at first base yes
terday. He negotiated a remarkaole catch
of Howard's high fly m the fifth and Halla

threw to Rapps.
Dan Howley was scheduled to catch for
Portland, but hurt his hand Just before the
commencement of hostilities.
Bill Lindsay returned north with the

Chicago 5, New York 3.
NEW YORK. Sept 17. Chicago won
the deciding game of the three-game
series here today by hitting Marquard
hard in the second and third innings.
Crandall, who relieved Marquard, was
invincible and held Chicago to three
hits. Cheney was effective in every
inning but the fifth, when New York
bunched three hits with a muff by
Sheckard and scored three runs. Evers

McCredie Puts in Drafts for
Likely Minor Leaguers.
FOUR PLAYERS PITCHERS
Beavers Also Seek Young Catcher
and Three In fielders Two May
Be Brought From Majors Chad
Has Great Hitting Streak.
When the Class A A bids ior drafts
are opened at Cincinnati next Sunday
afternoon Portland will have hooks out
for eight and possibly ten men. Man
ager WalterMcCredie announced that
he has his eyes on four new pitchers,
three infielders and a young catcher.
President W. W. McCredie forwarded
Individual cheeks covering the eight
last night and may telegraph an ad
ditional two or three.
These bids include two pitchers from
the Western League clubs untouched
by the majors, while the rest are from
Class B leagues. McCredie has not in
vaded the Union Association nor has he
cast his eyes toward the already de
pleted Northwestern League.
McCredie Want to Spend $8500.
All told, the McCredies desire to
spend S6500 for draft material In addi
tion to two or three major league pur
chases they have in store for the com
ing Winter. Mac says he will consider
himself lucky If six of his eight drafts
are allowed, and if he lands two likely
recruits in the six, he will be even
more pleased.
The Class AA draft prices are as fol
lows: For players from Class A, 11000
from Class B, $750; from Class C, S500
from Class D, 1400.
"I am sorry to lose Klawitter for he
and Higginbotham would make a won
derful nucleus around which to build
my 1913 pitching staff," said McCredie
last night. "Just think where we would
be if I had two more pitchers like
them. Both have won 60 per cent of
their games. I expected to lose either
Klawitter. Doane or Fitzgerald.
Mac declares he was misquoted in
San Francisco when the newspaper
men had him picking Oakland to win.
He says it's still a tossup between the
three leaders.
' Chadbourne Batting Hard.
Several Pacific Coast batsmen are
lust now enjoying runs of unusual
merit, Chester Chadbourne, the popular
Portland outfielder, seems to have at

srust 23. In 25 games. . including yes
terday's Chadbourne has missed only
four without a hit. . He has been at
bat 97 times and made 41 hits.
Ivan Howard and Pete Daley, of Los
Angeles and Wuffli and Zimmerman,
of San Francisco, are otners now m
the calcium. Daley has batted .457
since August 21, missing only one day
without a hit and that against arry
Abies on August 24. His total is u
times up and 32 hits. Howard , has
been up 84 times since August 30 and
has hit safely on 34 occasions, or an
averaore of .404. 1
Wuffli has batted .328 since Septem
ber 3 and Zimmerman .396 in 14 games

A battle Is due soon over the draft
ing of umpires. The new rule regard
ing arbitrators was injected into base
ball law at the last National Associa
tion meeting. The j-ule provides for
the purchase d"r draft of umpires by
the minor leaguers, but' not for the
payment of money for men taken up
by the majors. George Hildebrand has
accepted an offer to umpire in the
American League, but President Baum,
of the Coast League, is averse to let
ting him go and then turning round
and buying a man from a B league.
He holds that the majors never rati
fied the agreement and that therefore
it is void.

CITY LOSES APPEAL CASES
Judge Gantenbein Orders Dismissal
for Lack of Evidence.
Because the city could not prove 'the
ownership of the store other than by a
clerk who sold the "booze," and be
cause he believed the Jury would re
turn a verdict in favor of the defend
ant anyway, Circuit Judge Gantenbein
yesterday ordered an Instructed verdict
of not guilty In the case of the city
against C. E. Bogue, an East Side drug
gist accused of selling liquor without
a license. .... . .
The court's action was based on the
rule of law that the unsupported evi
dence of an accomplice Is not suffl- -cient
to establish a fact. The case was
an appeal from the Municipal Court,
where Bogue had been fined $100.
Because of the absence of Sergeant
Klenlen, of the Police Department, the
prosecution's most Important witness,
the city was not able to make much of
a showing against Ida Miller, convicted
of vagrancy in Municipal Court and
who had appealed. Judge Gantenbein
learned that she had been in the city
for eight years and had never been,
arrested or accused of crime before,
and he ordered the case dismissed in
order to save further trouble.
