T- Ixber and Kid Kores were the particular Bsaver stars in today's 13-lnnlng struggle between Portland and Venice, their swats coming at the most critical moment, and resulted in Portland taking the game. 4 to 3. It was a double pitchers' battle, Klepfer having Just a shade on Lush, the first eight innings, and then Hig ginbotham turned the tables and shaded Harkness for the remainder of the session. The two latter butted in Rt about the same time in the ninth frame. The Tigers led to the ninth by the narrow margin of one run, chased over In the third when Carlisle singled, got to third on a wild pitch and sacrifice and scored on Bayless' safe rap to right. Klepfer was going pretty good and it looked like a sure shutout until Davis, with one gone In the ninth, singled. Rodgers put him on second and then Kores beat out an infleld tap. Just as Kores started to steal. Leber slammed the ball into center for a long single, scoring both Davis and Kores. With one needed to tie. McArdle singled in the Tigers' half of the ninth. M it ran for him and stole second. and had plenty of time to score on Carlisle's single to right center. This tied it up and with a change of neavers it went to the 13th before either side made any real sign of life. Bill Rodgers began the bombard ment in the hoodoo frame by singling to left. Davis' sacrifice put Bill on second. Ryan walked and with those two ahead of him. Kores came to the rescue with a triple to deep right. He nearly made it a homer, being caught by a foot at the plate. The Tigers tried hard in their half, but could do no more than get Klliott In home on a single, a sacrifice, a fielder's choice and Litschl's triple. Litschi died at third. Considering the game as a whole the Beavers were en titled to .win. as they played the better ball throughout. The score: Portland Venle B H OA m B II O A E 7 2 2 0 0 Bancr'ft.s Deane.r. ..

The general offices of the Northwest Improvement Company are at Tacoma, but the president, Thomas Cooper, who Is an official of the Northern Pacific, resides at St. Paul.

To be sure the Northern Pacific serves them well with trans portation facilities, there being three trains daily each way and four on Sunday. For a mining town Roslyn is far beyond the average. It is true there is a large foreign element, per haps well over 75 per ent. but they have no troubles here. Slavonians predominate, but about every nation of Europe is represented t-rih a small or large colony. Are these workers thrifty? I was never more surprised in my life than when James Lane, the Postmatser, answered that question by showing me a letter Just received from the Postmaster-General stating that the Roslyn PostofTice had, on June 30 the largest amount of postal savings funds on de posit of any third-class office in the United States! - . i t i mi Him llt-poxlts ABKrPRlllC M,F,ii,.,. The amount of these deposits as shown on the boks last night was 109. 137 77; they have amounted to two or three thousand more, but Just now the company has some lands on the markets for homes and the monthly de posits are somewhat lighter and con siderable sums have been drawn out to pav on these homes. It is asserted that iio mining town in the country has a higher average of home owners than Roslyn. Take the amount of savings deposits here and compare it with other large cities. Take Portland. If Portland had as large a deposit per capita as Ros lyn, Postmaster Myers would have be tween $7,000,000 and $8,000,000 lying around in the banks of Portland and vicinity. Now, I think I might write several columns and tell nothing that would give a better insight into the sort of place Roslyn is than this postal state ment, but let us go into the financial affairs of he city. The Mayor is of Italian birth. His name is Giovanni. No town has a squarer or more con scientious Mayor than he. The City Clerk also is a young man of great ability. His name is George T. Wake. I am indebted to Mr. Wake for most of the facts I got about the town and people. The city has seven Councllmen, and Mr. Wake says they almost univer sally elect good men to those positions. The city owns a splendid gravity wa ter system, which was put in several years ago at a cost of $75,000. Bonds were sold for this and every cent's worth sold at home, most of them to workmen, in small lots. These bonds have all been retired but $5000 worth, and they will be paid before another year rolls around, and all has been done out of the water revenues. Be yond this, the city has a large supply of as good water as nature ever brewed. The city has a splendid sys tem of macadamized streets and ce ment walks and curbs, yet the city taxes are but 5 mills. I tell you when KOSLYN. it comes to economical efficiency this little town of Roslyn is some example. Oregonlnn Ib Popular. Let me Jump to the position The Oregonlan maintains here. It has about the same number of subscribers as any of the Seattle or Tacoma papers. The same is true of Ronald, the next little town. The Oregonlan agent here is a fine example of a pushing, active and honorable young chap for he is only 18 years old. His name Is S. Sedden. He gets his papers here, also at Ron ald, an hour ahead of any of the oth ers. How? To tell would be to expose a trade secret, and cost young Sedden dear. There is Dut gne bank here, a published here, the Cascade Miner, George K. Aiken being responsible for it. It is a newsy little sheet and seems to be enjoying great prosperity. Mr. Aiken has a splendidly equipped office and turns out a large amount of supe rior Job work. There is but one banak here, a branch of the Cle Elum State Bank. This branch has deposits of $261,000. D. G. Bing Is the cashier and local manager. There are two good hotels, the Halstad and the Roslyn. There are also a number of good restaurants and lunch counters and several large lodging-houses. Coal Price la Loir. Roslyn coal sells in the town at $3.76, delivered to the general public. The workmen of the N. W. I. Company get theirs under contract at about $2.05 per ton at the tipple. Roslyn has a splendid school system and large Sabbath schools; also sev eral fine churches, which I was told were well attended. - It would pay any person passing along the main line of the Northern Pacific to stop off at Cle Elum and come up this branch and see this town and study the character of the people. Soon now, if the war fever keeps boil ing, many of the miners, will scurry back to their native lands. During the Turkish war a few years ago more than 100 left to fight for their flag, about an equal number on each side. Last Sunday a big meeting of the Slavs was held and it is said a large number will depart within a few days unless there are signs of peace. FEDKRAL, LEAGUE. St. Louis 2Pittsburg 1.

ANGELS BLOWN UP IS WAY IT LOOKS History Seems on Verge of Re peating Itself in Case of Hen Berry's Boys. PITCHING NOT TO BLAME Will Chech, Ryan and Hughes Be Able to Hold Pace? Christy Mathewson Springs Surprise on Minister Admirer. BY ROSCOE FAWCBTT. Have the Angels blown? It begins to look that way. In 1913. Just when most of the wise birds had Los Angeles post ed as the pennant-winner, the JJillion ites exploded, and this year looks like a carbon copy. At the 15th week of the race half way through the Angels were in first place. But take a squint at them now. They are in the second division and, while yet within easy striking dis- I tance, no Improvement is being shown. In fact the lowly OaKs, alter losing six In seven from Portland, have taken three in four from Los Angeles already this week. Little wonder the railbirds have be come suspicious of the Seraphs' pen nant chances. Last year's dismal slump was due al most solely to the failure of the pitch ing corps in the closing weeks of the race. Dillon had only Perritt, Chech and Ryan as reliables and the veterans Chech and Ryan found the pace too killing to go the long route. But Dillon has added a trio of ex cellent mounders to his staff this year. Musser is a good pitcher; Hughes has had good success and Howard Ehmke, boy wonder, has the makings of a ster ling hurlsmith. In reserve Dillon has Love, the human eucalyptus pole. So poor pitching is not altogether to blame this Summer. Dillon has had his share of it, to be sure, but he has been favored with more than his share of injuries to other players. Most of his wounded have again re ported for service, however, and the "buck" now goes back to the hurling corps. Will Chech, Ryan and Hughes be able to hold the pace? Perhaps so, but we think not. And Walter McCredie has come around to this way of thinking, too, according to a San Francisco interview. "I see the same pitching trouble ahead for Los Angeles this year." said Walt in the Post. "Seldom does a team win a pennant without a strong bunch of pitchers." - "Christy" Mathewson, noted author, who pitches for the New York Giants when not giving dictation, has a non Sunday playing clause in his contract. Not long ago, wjien the team was in Chicago, a clergyman called at Chris ty's hotel to tell the big twirler how gratified he was because of the good stand Mathewson had taken against Sunday baseball. He called on a Sunday and imagine his consternation when the negro bell boy reported: "Mistah Mathewson is out playing golf." Hugo Bezdek, athletic director at Oregon, is now scouting in the wilds of the Wisconsin-Illinois Jungle for high-class ivory suitable for the Pitts burg team. Scouts are like ducks they fly south In the cold weather and north in the warm. Bezdek seldom recommends a player. Like George Van Haltren, the ex-Chl-cago football star figures he saves Bar ney Dreyfuss more money by failing to foist a bunch of bushers off onto him every Fall than he does by recom mending a whole raft of yokels. nrn minrnT umnnirn ntu nurcni wunmto MANAGER OF BANKERS' ALL-STARS NOW ."A-FIGERIN" Whether to Start Left-Handed Hitters Instead of Rlght-Handed Ones Problem Yet Unsolved. Big league management has nothing on the managers of the four amateur and semi-pro baseball teams which bat tle on the Vaughn-street grounds to morrow. Whether to start left-handed hitters instead of right-handed ones is one of the big problems facing "Red" Rupert, of the Banker All-Stars. Five positions on the Banker nine are unsettled, according to Manager Rupert, and not until Just before the call of "play ball" will the players know "who's who." Johnnie Shea, brother of the well-known Danny Shea, of Spo kane, is seeking a berth as catcher against King Both were with the Northwestern National Bank squad. The first game tomorrow between Randall's All-Stars and the Piedmont Maroons starts promptly at 1:30 o'clock. The eecond game with the Rupert Banker All-Stars and the Archer-Wiggins Weonas as the principals will com mence at 3:15 o'clock. Ed Rankin, well known local umpire, and Harry Gray eon again will officiate as the ar bitrators. Manager Randall has heralded Porter Yett. his shortstop, as the all-star Northwestern semi-pro, and so far Yett has been living up to his reputation. In every game played out of town by the Randall nine. Yett lias been one of the main factors Players from the Western Tn-State. Union Association, Oregon - Idaho League, Western Canada League and the defunct California State League are listed by Randall, and all of them have seen several years of semi-pro ball. Bill Gleason, late of three defunct leagues is down to do some of the re ceiving.' Bogart. of the Union Asso ciation, will nold down the third bag, and Willie Stepp, coming from a Cana dian circuit, will chase flies in the cen ter garden. ' As to the pitcher. Manager Rajidall has four from which to select Krause, Cozans Cornelius and Townsend, of the Gresham Giants. All are in good con dition and ready to put up the battle of their young careers. For the Pied mont Maroons, Manager Bartholemy has chosen younger material, several having been graduated from local ln terscholastic league baseball circles. Albany Team Defeats Women.
