When the 1913 Pacific Coast League
reanon is -writ In history th name of
Elmer Koestner will be - found in
scribed In letters of gold. No star of
the Coast pitching- firmament has shone
with the luster of the former Portland
right-hander within the past month.
Since August 8 the Venice pitcher
has twirled In 11 games, winning six
and losing two. In that stretch six
hits haa been the limit per game, and
the two he lost were 1-0 shutouts in
which he allowed four hits and three
hits respectively.
His runs In 70 innings, or S games,
have averaged 1.37 per nine-inning
game, while the hit average shows
down to 4.22. In the month he pitched
two two-htt games, two three-hit
games, two four-hit games and two
six-hit games, besides filling In with
equal effectiveness In abbreviated
stretches.
Elmer's record for the year Is 22
wins and 19 losses tor an average oi
.537. but his work the past month is as
follows:
August 8 Opposing Hlgglnbotham; nine
Innings, six hits, three runs; won.
August 13 Opposing Leifleld; nine In
nings, two hits, no runs; won.
August IS Two and two-thirds Innings,
five hits, three runs; relief.
August It One and one-third Innings, one
hit. no run; relief.
August IT Opposing Leifleld; nine In

won.
September 8 Opposing Fanning; nine In

September 7-Opposlng Fanning; nine In
nings, three hiss, no runs: won.
Totals Seventy-nine Innings, 87 hits, 12
runs; won six. lost two. Average, .750.
A great many Coast League fans
fear that Happy Hogan is using Koest
ner too often and that the Sphinx will
explode before the season ends, but. In
the meantime. Happy has good cause
to laugh over his good fortune In his
Portland barters last Winter.
Both Koestner and Harkness are
proving consistent winners for Venice.
Speck Harkness went to Venice lif
trade for Al Carson, who is now In
the Northwestern League. Speck's rec
ord to date Is 11 wins and seven de
feats for an average of .611.
Williams, of Sacramento, and West,
of Portland, are still the leading pitch
- ers In the Coast League. Williams had
his winning streak broken last week,
but his record Is still good. 13 wins and
six defeats. West has won IS and lost
eight.
Portland has five pitchers well over
the .500 mark and Krause. a sixth, is
lust one game below It. Higglnbotham
ranks next to West, and now Hager
man has passed James. Hagerman and
Krapp both got off Jtadly. but they
have been pounding the pike at a
whirlwind gait of recent weeks.
The Coast twirling record Is as follows:
1000-yard ranges. The scores are con
sidered high, as a strong northwest
wind blew In the faces of the maras-
men.
The winning score was six points be
low that made by the United States
team last year, when It 'captured the
prize In Canada.

UNITED STATES WINS SHOOT
Palnia Match Taken With Score of
1714, Next Best Being 1684.
CAMP PERRY, O.. Sept- 8. The Unit
ed States team won the Palma match
today. Its score was 1714. The team
from the Argentine Republic was sec
ond, with a score of 1684, nine points
ahead of Canada's score of 1C75. Sweden
made 1684 and Peru 1465.
The shooting was on the 800, 900 and
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept- 8. Interest
In the 20-round return bout tomorrow
between Bob McAllister, of the Olympic
Club, and Sailor Petroskey, a rough-and-tumble
middleweight, goes down
to one question: Has McAllister got
the punch?
A month ago the men fought 20
rounds to a draw the first long-distance
fight McAllister had ever trav
eled; the referee's decision Is still the
subject of argument. Ten to seven on
McAllister was quoted on the last fight
and 10 to 6 are the odds tonight. The
same referee will rule. "
The puzzling thing about McAllister
Is that as an amateur he was rated a
knocker-out. As a professional he has
retained speed and cleverness and
proved his courage under punishment,
but his punch seems to have deserted
him.
After his last fight It was generally
agreed that unless he shows more pun
ishing power, he has nothing to rec
ommend him for serious consideration.
Give him the punch and he would be
he most dangerous middleweight In
sight '

FLOUR TRADE AIDED
Cut in Steamer Rates Will
Stimulate Business.
LARGER SALES ARE LIKELY
Slovement Has Been' Held Back,
Pending Beduction In Freights
to Oriental Ports Wheat
Market Firm.
A few straggling export flour orders have
been oomlng in.' but there has not been the
big business that millers usually look for at
thla time of year. The prospects have
brightened, however, since It Is known that
the steamer ratea are to oe reuueu.
Two or three of the lines yesterday an
nounced a cut of 60 cents In the rate to
Japanese ports and $1 In the Hongkong and
Manila rates, and It la probable the other
Uses will make similar announcements 10
dav. The now rates are 13.60 on flour and
wheat to Japan. 14 to Hongkong and IS to
Shanghai. There are plenty of tramps ot
tering to take cars of the business and they
can be chartered on time at rates 60 cents
lower than the regular lines are going to
put Into effect, but millers and shippers are
willing to give the preference to the regu
lar companies If the difference Is not too
r,t
The nem rates will go into enect immeai-
ately and the result In Increased flour sales
should soon ba seen.
There were no new developments In tne
wheat market yesterday. Prices were on a
firm foundation, but sellers' views were gen
erally above those of buyers. Most farmers
are holding for 70 cents in the country. This
would be eaual to about 81 cents on track
here. Buyers consider 80 cents the outside
value of club.

THIRD OF HOP CROP IS PICKED
Coast Market Is Inactive Lower Estimates
on English and German Crops.
The showers yesterday had no effect on
hopplckers In the Willamette Valley or
Western Washington. A full day was put
In Sunday In most of the yards, asd a
third of the crop has now been picked. If
the weather continues favorable the harvest
will be completed by the end of this week
except In a few of the large yards. The
Quality of the crop Is exceedingly good.
No effort -Is being made by buyers or
sellers to transact business. Growers are
disposed to wait until their crops are baled
betore trying the market. There were In
quiries yesterday from London for quota-
tloss on 250 and 600 bales, but no general
demand Is likely to come until samples have
been received and inspected at consuming
markets.
The follqwlng cable was received yester
day from Mange & Henley, of London:
'Crop prospects less favorable. Picking now
general. Crop will be mucn smaller tnan
expected. Estimate England at 300,000. Mar
ket firm with upward tendency. Believe
market will go higher."
Bernhard Blng. of .Nuremburg, cabled:
Estimate continent at 660,000. Growers
stiff. Bavarian hops selling at 200 marks.
Saaz hops at 100 crowns." These prices are
equal to 43 cents for Bavarian and 55 cents
tor Saaz hops.
rEACII TRADE ON LARGE SCALE
Prices Are Firm, Owing to Very Strong
Demand.
The peach trade continues on a very
heavy scale. There were large arrivals yes
terday from all polnta, and the demand
was fully equal to the supply. The bulk of
sales were at 50 to 60 cents. Most of the
peaches now coming In are of good quality.
Other fruits were for the most part un
changed. Good cantaloupes were scarce and
firm. Grapes were steady. There waa a
moderate demand for good pears at 60
cents on ripe stock and 11 on green, but
overripe fruit had to be sold as low as 30
cents.
Owing to the temporary scarcity of local
potatoes, the rain having stopped digging.
It was necessary to bring in a car from
Yakima. A car of California onions will
arrive today.
Country Produce Scarce.
As usual on Monday there was not much
country produce offered. Prlcea In all 'de
partments were firm. The best' eggs were
quoted at 32 to 33 cents. Hens were worth
16 cents and other poultry In proportion.
Dressed meats were quoted at last week's
prices. Dairy produce was firm and unchanged.

There was the customary big Monday run
of stock at the yards yesterday, nearly 8000
head arriving, mostly cattle ; and hogs.
The cattle market held up well, but hogs
did not realize last week's prices.
Buyers are well supplied with half-fat
cattle and .are not keen to take on more
of that kind, but top-grade stock finds a
ready market. This was shown by the sale
of a load of prime steers yesterday at 6 25,
and other loads at 6S.15 and 68. The bulk
of the steer business done during the day
was at 67.65 to 67.85. Butcher cattle sales
were for the most part In small lots ana
at the old prices. '
The top level la the swne market was 69
This lowering ot hog prices waa to be ex
pected in view of the bl? supply received,
nearly 1400 head.

the previous range. The former were steady
in tone and the latter were Inclined to be
weak. v

STOCK TRADE WAITS
Speculation Is Small, but Un
dertone Is Good.
NO PRESSURE TO SELL
Widest Movement During Day Is in
Specialties, Which. Advance
Sharply Bond Market
Shows Improvement.
NEW YORK. Sept. 8. Representative
stocks lost ground slowly today. Interest
was diverted from the standard shares to
specialties and to the grain and cotton mar
kets. Recessions among suoh stock as
Union Pacific, Reading, New York central,
Atchison, St. Paul and Steel, which fell off
a point or so, were due more to neglect
than selling pressure.
The widest movements were among the
specialties, particularly the petroleum and
railway equipment shares, several of which
advanced 1 to 5 points. The rise failed to
Influence the leaders, a fact which led to
some preferential selling. Trading was dull
and there was no weakness on tne aecune.
Late in the day the market stiffened, re
covering part of the losses.
Traders described the market as a wait
lng one, referring to various forthcoming
events of sufficient Importance to restrict
speculation. The excited advance In cotton
options tended to discourage buying ot
stocks.
The monthly report of the copper pro
ducers today elicited no response In the
market. Even the copper stocks snowea
no improvement after publication of the
flaures. which were distinctly bullion, rro
ductlon ran behind consumption and total
stocks on band were reduced to the smallest
reDorted In rears.
Bonds moved rather irregularly, but
shewed a good undertone. Total sales, par

CHICAGO, Sept. 8. Corn today" rose to a
new high-price record for the season In the
December option and narrowly missed a
new high level In the other futures. Inade
quacy of relief from drouth and heat was
largely responsible. The close, though easy
showed an advance of c to 11c net.
Other leading cereals made gains wheat

provisions the outcome varied from 6c de

Toward the end of the day corn bull

other hand, the market was sustained by
the Missouri state crop report, which told
of the condition of the plant falling off .9
per cent since the corresponding time a
Wheat received most help today from the
strength of corn, but the dry weather
aroused some tear ot aecreasea eim
and late seeding. Primary arrivals were
not halt as large as a year ago. The lessen
ing was due entirely to the withholding of
Winter wheat SouthweBt. where the short
age of corn Is most severe. Lower cables
were the cause of a little weakness early
and there was a drag later owing to the
slowness of milling and shipping demand.
Oats followed corn upward, notwithstand
ing that the visible supply exhibited a huge
rain. Best prices, however, were not
maintained.
Provision trade consisted chiefly of trans
urtlnns In lard. Packers supported nearby
deliveries and sold the deferred montns.
