Eight thousand spectators packed Into Coast League Park yesterday and cheered themselves hoarse urging Port land to a double victory over Sacra mento. The score of the first game -was 5-2 and the second 6-5, .(he latter going 11 Innings. Winning seven successive games Is no small feat- Portland slipped that dose to Sacramento the last week of August, 1912, and yesterday repeated by the double dose of cyanide. Sacramento came north In second place, keyed to a fighting pitch, confi dent of displacing Portland from the lead. This morning the Senators are In the second division. San .Francisco has passed the Wolves In the dash up the percentage column. They have fizzled, flopped 1 and sprawled out In the mire and there Is no Joy in California's capital. Rodgers Batting; Features. Captain Bill Rodgers' wonderful bat execution, combined with brilliant box work on the part of Hi West to spread the shroud over Jack Lively In the curtain raiser. Portland took the lead In the " fifth inning and was never headed. But It remained for the second af fray to furnish the real thrills. Every molecule of the seesaw matinee bristled with excitement. It takes more than your little broth er of the church league to beat Sacra mento. Three times the Solons tied the score. Deacon Van Buren plugged out a two-bagger with the bases full, scor ing three men in the seventh inning for the third tying death grapple. Incidentally Higginbotham followed Arellanes to the clubhouse at this Juncture of the milling. There was not a question of a doubt but that Sacramento was to be burned at the altar of sacrifice, but, as Hager man and Munsell battled away at each other, nip and tuck, during the Intensi fied closing stanzas the 8000 of the faithful began to get fidgety. The worry bug was beginning to bite. Speas I'Hes Trusty Bludgeon. And then along came Billy Speas and his trusty bludgeon In the eleventh In ning after two were out. It was the whipped cream of victory. Chadbourne beat out an infield tap at first base by the proverbial whisker. Speas had whacked out two hits already, but he took a toe hold, sighted one of Mun sell's spitters and soaked it on a dead line into deep right center field. It was a three-bagger in any man's country but Speas took no chances. When Heinle got as far as second he stood on the bag and watched Chad bourne scamper across the plate with the winning run. Pandemonium the real stuff, the quintessence of Jubilation and hilarity broke forth in ear-splitting shrieks. Th crowd carried on nothing short of scandalous. It poured out onto the field and scampered all over the prem ises. So many mouths were open that the grandstand looked, like one vast abyss. The few hundred Sacramento rooters left the field looking as If they would start weeping it anyone spoke to them. . Phew! It was no place for a nerv ous man. neat's Pitching Fine. Concerning details. West twirled a masterly game in the 5-2 affair. He allowed seven hits against 11 off Live ly. Each team scored a run In the first inning. but Hallinan's over throw of first In the fifth Inning and Rodgers' second hit put Portland in the lead. 2-1, and the Beavers were never headed. Doane's double and Lober's single added one In the sixth; doubles by Chadbourne and Kodgers. another In the seventh, and Lober's second hit and McCormlck's puny tap in front of the plate, the final score in the eighth. The Senators tallied their only run in the eighth on Tennant's double and a plunk to left by Hallinan. While Speas and Rodgers each blaz ed out three ripping swats In the 6-5 batfest, nearly all the boys had a hand in the scoring. Second Game Mp and Tack. Doubles by Lober and Fisher sent the McCredle bark oft to a one run lead in the second. The Solons strug gled and fought and nicked in a ty ing run in the third on Kenworthy's triple and Young's single. Portland forged ahead again with one run In the last of the third. Arel lanes bounced a shot off Hlgglnbotham's bead and Speas scored him with a single. But the Wolves bit their fangs Into Higginbotham and tied that, 2-2, in the sixth on Van Buren's double, a bunt and an infield out. Flinging themselves against the Spaniard, Arellanes, in the latter half of the sixth, the Beavers went far Into the lead. 5-2, garnering three runs. Arellanes was yanked with the bases full after hits by Speas, Rodgers and Lindsay. Doane's poke off Munsell scored one, and then, with two out, McCormick slashed a liner to center and scored the other duet. Wolves Renew Attack. Back to the attack forged the blood thirsty Senators In the seventh. Hal linan opened with a single. Higgin botham grew chivalrous and walked two men. Tilling the bases with two out. Van Buren spilled Hlg's hopes and wet-blanketed the enthusiasm by whaling forth a two-bagger, scoring three men and then Hagerman went In the box. Hagerman pitched brilliant ball to the finish, allowing but two scattered blows in the four and one-third inn ings. McCormick, Rodgers, Young, Ken- worthy and Tennant performed nifty fielding stunts.

Aside from the opening It ranked probably second of the campaign. Portland has won three extra-inning games from Sacramento this series. That shows how evenly the clubs are matched. Derrick retired after the first game, suf fering from a sore Jaw. He had a tooth ex tracted last week and his Jaw is still in flamed and sore. Both shortstops. McCormick and Toung, have played brilliant ball all week. Mike is proving a life-saver for McCredie. Tennant succumbed to Doane's unerring arm when he tried to stretch a slam off the right field fence Into a double in the tenth. Doane's throw was on a bee line. Portland was the aggressor all through the strenuous second battle. As an evidence of how close the Beavers came to victory in the tenth, Doane lined a screaming poke Into left center, with Rodgers lurking on second base. Van Buren sailed over and made a beautiful leaping catch, saving the Kenworthy pulled a beautiful one-hand circus effort In the fifth Inning of the sec ond game and robbed McCormick of a sec- ""Tw'o'games will be played today. The morning game wll lbegln at 10:30 and the afternoon at 2:30. Krause will wor for Portland In the forenoon and Krapp In the afternoon. Stroud will pitch this fore noon for Sacramento.

" 'Betcha 5 I can do it,' replied Hig ginbotham. "The wager was on. And, before go ing further, let It be said that I lost. "Without so much as batting an eye lid Higginbotham unrolled a package of snuff from his hip pocket, threw it into the cage, and then, while Bruin and Brother Bruin were rending the air with eachooes and pitiable sniffling, Higginbotham calmly walked Into the den, placed a hammerlock and crotch hold on the largest of the grizzlies, and rolled him over on his back, like a Pom meranian poodle. "It was Gotch and Hackenschmidt all over again," added Rodgers, amidst the applause of the clubhouse railbirds. "Hlg sure is game."

Oakland and Venice remained stationary In the percentage column by dividing today's deuble-header, the morning contest going to Oakland by a 3-to-0 score, while Venice scored an easy victory In the afternoon, 6 6 to 2. In the first game Harkness pitched well until the seventh inning, but he weakened in that period and Oakland scored two of .its tallies. Killilay was a puzzle throughout. The feature of the afternoon battle was the pitching of Koestner. After twirling shutout ball In the last four innings yesterday's 15-lnnlng game, Koestner came back today and. al lowed but two scattered hits in nine Innings. "Buck" O'Brien, of Boston world's champion fame, made another attempt to prove his effectiveness and lost his second game of the week. He yielded eight hits in the four innings he pitched, five of which were bunched in the fourth for a total of four runs. Lehman, who finished the game, also was hit freely.

Every Team, Except Pendleton, Has Chance to Win Pennant Row Narrowly Averted. North Yakima turned the tables on Boise in the Western Trl-State League Sunday, winning 7 to 2, while Pendle tcrh upset the "dope" and won from Walla Walla, 1 to 0. With six games yet to play this season, this leaves the probable winner still undetermined as Boise, Walla Walla and Yakima each have a chance. At Boise, Wood was hit 'hard by Ya kima and three errors on the part of the Boise players gave the game to the Braves. Sensational fielding by Reams and Friene featured the con test The score: R.

Jonas was wild and Welch pitched superb ball. The Bucks' only run came In the second when with one down and the bases full, Jones walked Naughton. It was the third walk of the inning . In the third and fifth the bases were filled but the Bucks failed to deliver the hits, their easy ground ers beiitig fielded perfectly, four men being thrown out at the plate. No Bear reached second base. The game was featured by a near row. Martin, a Bear outfielder, thought Welch was trying to bean him and after the inn ing walked out to Welch to tell him how he felt about It. Team mates separated them. The score: R. H. E. R. H. E.

Although Tacoma won by a 7 to 6 score, it was only after the fans had been'scared stiff and First Baseman Heilmann, of Portland, had come to the aid of the 'iigers In a pinch. Up to the eighth inning the locals were jogging along, making runs when they felt like it and whacking at Todd's benders with easy abandon. The eighth Inning dawned with the Tigers enjoying a six-run lead and it looked as though.lt was all over but the shout ing for the 3000 fans who had turned out to do honor to Umpire Toman. Then Bancroft led off with a double. The Tiger infield leaked where it has leaked almost all year, the short field. ' A few more hits came along, Harris threw to center field and then there were more hits. Todd finished ip the session by being flagged at third trying to stretch a good, healthy two-bagger into a triple or those Colts might have been hitting yet. Both clubs played gilt-edge ball ex cept In the harrowing eighth. In the second inning Holderman started things with a hit and stole sec ond and counted on West's single. In the fourth hits by West, Hensling, Kel ler and Kaufman brought in three, while a base on balls to Harris and Kaufman's triple and a single by Million were good for a brace In the seventh. The last and final run was a gift from Mr. Heilmann, although West should have been on the bench breath ing hard long before. West doubled for the second time and then Hensling was safe when Hynes waited for his bunt to roll ' foul. Keller hit Into a double on which West could have scored, but he was held on third. Har ris, who Is undoubtedly the greatest pinch hitter in the league, was walked and so was Neighbors, who batted for Kaufman. McMullin hit one to Mohler, who fielded it perfectly, but Heilmann dropped tne Dan a.nu hid wiun,& " counted. acore.
