Steele had pitched himself out of a bad hole In the fifth and the fans were peeved because a chance to re peat the performance wasn't given him. Bee Hurler Hooted. They greeted McCreery. the relief boxman, with hoots and when Burch, who replaced Agnew at bat drilled the first ball pitched to the fence and three runs strolled over they cheered themselves hoarse. They kept up the rebellious noise while Mahoney clout ed the ball safely and Weed erred as a result of which two more runs were scored. The side was retired by Speas Interfering with Rawlings on Fries hard drive. Agnew's pitching was sound except In the second period when Victoria got three hits. Stelger and Burch were the batteries for Portland from the sixth on and the former was safe ; until the ninth when a bat (est that almost brought about his retirement netted the Bees four counters. Steiger's "jiot one over the fencj following Wil liams' single, gave the visitors two runs in the seventh and In the ninth Williams singled, stole second and then came home on Cruikshank's one bagger. Steele Looks Like Find. The fielding of both teams was 'ragged. Steele had his first real trial In professional company. He has all the ear marks of a good twirler.

Pitchers I jo Not Smoke and That Men Drink In Moderation. NEW YORK, Sept 26. Frank Chance, manager of the Chicago Cubs, lying In a private hospital, still weak from the effects of a recent operation, made in dignant reply today to charges by President Charles V. Murphy that loose ivlng and training methods had lost the Chicago Nationals the pennant for 1912. 'I believe I have the best behaved baseball team in either league," Chance said. "Most of these players take a glass of beer after the game and I con sider that beneficial. Not one of my men ever takes a drink in the morn ing or between games. I made a rule this year that none of my pitchers should smoke cigarettes and I think they have lived up to this rule. "Murphy only thinks - of the team when It is winning. The team for my sake plays harder when 1 am away than when I am with It. It wants to finish in second place and so do I, and I want to meet the White Sox In the post-season series. These charges of Murphy's will make it hard to accom plish either of these things. Of course, his statements reflect upon me person ally and I have been in the business too long to allow Murphy or anyone else to insult me." Chance will be back in Chicago in time to direct his club during the play ing of the series with the Sox If such a series Is arranged. M'CKEDIE TAKES XO CHANCES Klan-ltter to Be Tsed in Exhibition Game Against Colts. While Walter McCredie, manager of the Beavers, talks of the impending clash with the Portland Northwestern League team in a nonchalant fashion. it is evident that the Pacific coast manager isn't taking any chances. He announced several days ago tnai he would use whatever pitcher came In turn next Monday, but the fact that he has so arranged the pitching calendar that Kla witter comes up Monday snows that Walter Is not only a crafty ma nipulator, but that ha likes Nick Wil liams' crew about as a percussion cap loves dynamite. Let's see. It s Klawitters turn F ri day and Suter's likely Saturday, leav ing me HiEginbotnam. .b-oestner ana Harkness tor the Sunday double-header," said Walt last night, as he fur rowed his brow in perplexity. -ies, it will be Klawitter Monday against the Colts." Nick Williams, manager or the class B club, is aiming to use either Eastley or Doty. Manager McCredie declared yester day hat he had enough managing to do in the Coast games without sitting on the bench in exhibition games. He will show his disdain lor tne a leaguers by wearing his store clothes and n-sthinir the clash from the grand stand. Mac tried the same stunt in the barnstorming game at cnenaiis. nut omiidn't stand the strain of seeing the State Leaguers walloping Ms Beavers. About the middle ol the game he ud- . "wi .ii-lE St.. . .'. denly migrated to the bench and pi loted the squad to a 2-to-l victory. Sunday's double-header against San Francisco will begin at 1:30 o'clock.- AXGLERS' CliCB TRIP DELAYED Absence of Game Warden Requires Postponement of Jaunt to Sandy. Owing to the absence of W. L. Fin ley, Master Game Warden, the trip of the committee from the Multnomah Anglers' Club and the Fish Commission to the mouth of the Sandy River was postponed from yesterday until some day next week. ' The object of the trip is to devise some plan of making a channel across the-sands at the mouth of the river so that fish will be able to go up the stream at all times and not only at the highest of high water. A meeting of the Multnomah Anglers' Club will be held in the convention room of the Commercial Club tonight, at which Mr. Finley will tell of the work of the fish hatcheries during the last Summer. Although- all the fish that could be handled have been plant ed, a good many are still on hand and these will also be placed. The Introduction of a bill in the State Senate for the protection of trout during the closed season will be dis cussed. Some fishermen, it is said, have been catching trout under 12 inches in length and then getting their friends to say that they are salmon trout. The proposed bill is intended to prevent this practice. AD ACCEPTS PROFFER WOLGAST TO FIGHT OX THANKS GIVING DAY. . Jones Sends AVord to Coffroth That His Man Will Appear Against Any Lightweight at That Time. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26. That much-discussed question in boxing cir cles, ."When will Champion Ad Wolgast fight next, and under whose auspices?" appears today to be nearer settled than at any previous time for weeks. James Coffroth, promoter, of this city, re ceived today a telegram from Tom Jones, manager of Wolgast, reading: "Original proposition telegraphed to you from Cadillac goes. Wolgast will box for you on Thanksgiving day." Jones is supposed to be- on his way to California. It is the belief that he will visit Taft to investigate fur ther a proposition made by fight en thusiasts of that town to offer a purse for Wolgast. but there seems little doubt as to the fact that Wolgast will fight here and that Coffroth will han dle the bout. ' Coffroth has made no definite an nouncement as to the man who will be Wolgast's opponent. The majority opinion is that Willie Ritchie will be the man, but there are many who be lieve that Frankte Burns, of Oakland, will have a second chance to gain the championship. Burns has won two notable victories since he was defeated by Wolgast end admirers of Burns In sist that he is better today than ever before. Definite announcement is ex pected within a few days.

The good ship "McCredie,". with a mixed Irish and Dutch crew, boomed over the waves of San Francisco Bay for the third consecutive time yester day. In Its wake lay two dismantled hulks Higginbotham and Arlett while shattered spars and a deep-dyed crimson flecked the foam, declaring to the world that "there ain't no such thing" as fifth place for a Portland Coast team. . The score of Bill Reidy's third rout was 9 to 6 the same by which Nick Williams' Colts walloped Victoria up North and. as was the case in the i-class B clash, Portland pitchers were outpunctured by the enemy. San Fran cisco secured 14 hits, according to the adding machine the final three off Harkness, who relieved Higginbotham in the sixth inning while the Beavers got to Arlett and McCorry for 1L Two Pitchers Pounded. It was a good, old-time batting game, with smoke belching from the neigh borhood of the plate at all times. The terrific clouting of Doane, Rapps and Bancroft, coupled with poor handling of bunts, gave Portland a lead of five runs by the third inning, but Higgin botham's arm then began to balk like a four-cylinder car with only two working. Five hits and Fitzgerald's high throw home netted three tallies in the fourth inning, and they tied the score a moment later, making it 5 to 6, on some more great swatting by Zimmerman, Howard, Wagner and Mc lntyre. Arlett wobbled in his bearings when he heard the telegraph operator click ing off that tieing run for the mega phones downtown. Without so much as warning the leather-lunged grandstand cohorts, he let Doane and Rodgers hit safely in the last of the fifth, walked Fitzgerald and then forced in the mar ginal run by hitting Rapps midway be tween the shoulder blades. Manager Reldy then yanked Arlett in favor of McCorry, with the bases full. Gus Fisher made a face like "Gyp the Blood" and his hit cracked a center field dyke, flooding in two runs. Howard Baker, erstwhile "white hope" at third base, singled over sec ond for another. That made 9 to 6. Harkness Finishes Strong. The Seals later got one tally on sin gles by Schmidt and Mclntyre, but Harkness held them at his mercy alter that inning, the sixth. McCorry, too, went the last three innings without a scratch. In the business of backing up the man who horned into publicity by de claring that "no two games are alike," we might call attention to two fea tures that were unusual. How many times do you see a batter get two bases on an Infield fly? In the opening Inning cnaapourne occu pied second as a result of Wagner's error when Fitzgerald popped an easy flv a few feet back of third, uornan and McAvoy held a caucus, but forgot to nominate a candidate and tne Dan dropped unmolested to the ground, Chadbourne scoring. In the fourth Howard singled, went to second on Zimmerman's hit and tried to score on Wagner's slash to right field. Fitzgerald threw several yards over Catcher Fisher's head, but one Gus got revenge by kicking Howard in the brow as he slid home. Howard rolled over dead, like villains in all well-regulated melodramas, and then suddenly he remembered the home plate. Oh, yes, the plate: he had forgotten to touch it. Painfully he squirmed around and stuck out his index finger and just in time, too, for Zimmerman tore into the vicinity two ticks later with a noise like a 3-cent fare disturbance. Both were safe.

AMERICAN LEAGUE. Boston 15, New York 12. BOSTON, . Sept. 26. Boston ap proached within one game of the American League record for games won in a season by defeating New York in a contest that developed Into a farce. Boston has six games still to play in which to better the record of 102 games t.isde by Philadelphia two years ago. New York gained a big lead by hitting Vandyke and added runs at Pape's expense. Boston bunched hits in the fifth, sixth and eighth Innings and won out. On account of darkness the game was called after eight innings. Score: R. H.E-1 R. H.E.

Bugs Have Lead of Three Full Gaines and Season Will Last Only Three Days Longer. Seattle's defeat of Tacoma yesterday, in conjunction with Spokane's wallop ing at the hands of Vancouver, virtu ally concludes the pennant fight in the Northwestern League. The schedule ends Sunday three , more days and while postponed games will likely mean doubleheaders on the last after noon, the Seattleites are now three full games to the good and there isn't one chance in 60 for the runnersup. This will be Seattle's second pennant since the reorganization of the North western League in 1901. Mike Lynch led Dugdale to a bunting in 1909 and was kicked - out in midseason of 1910 because the club dropped to last. This same dose was handed to Jack Barry this Summer. Tealey Raymond, who stepped in as temporary manager for the second time, again demonstrated his qualities of leadership by putting the Bugs back in the- running. They crept up to fifth the middle of June, to fourth a fortnight later, jumped to second the first of July and passed Spokane early this month. Seattle's last game Sunday will be with Portland, not Tacoma, although Dug's men are playing Tacoma this week. 'That maverick date came about In a peculiar fashion," explained Presi dent McCredie yesterday. "The week found Portland at Victoria and Tacoma at Seattle. Of course, we couldn't play at Victoria on Sunday, so we drew with Tacoma and Victoria for the Seattle date. Portland won and Tacoma -and Victoria will meet at Tacoma."

The cham pionship of the National League, which for several days has been a matter of doubt only to mathematical sticklers, is now settled -definitely In favor of the New York Giants for a second suc cessive year.

That Jake Stahl will use Ms 21-yer oI3"pitching wonder, Joe Wood, in th opening game against New York and every alternate day as long as the series lasts, is the opinion expressed yesterday by George Damerel, the fa mous musical comedy star who is a Portland visitor. Actor-Fan Damerel is a close friend of Stahl's and bases his view on tips given by the ex-University of Illinois star. "Collins will undoubtedly twirl the second game for Boston," continued Mr. Damerel. "As for New York I am of the opinion that Tesreau will be called upon to bear the burden. It will startle the world if MeGraw be gins the series without Mathewson pitching the first game, but I think the wallopings handed out to Christy by Boston two years ago will have some influence."
