Portland added to Its pennant pre tensions yesterday by defeating Sacra mento for the fourth consecutive time since returning to the home hearth Three thousand feminine fans witnessed the carnage. Score, Portland. 6: Sacramento. 2. The Mackmen raked the trajectories of Harry Stewart so hard that he was forced out of the box score la the eighth. Poor Harry was nicked for 14 hits, hence little of mystery shrouds the reason for Portland's six. Four of the 14 hits were doubles. "HIk" In Great Form. While the Beavers were knocking the gooseflesh off tlie former Seal and Tiger, the prince-giant of the house of McCredle was a Cyclops in dis gulse. We refer to Irve Higginbotham. Hig permitted eight hits but he was Invincible as long as there remained any question about the ultimate answer. The two Wolf tallies were registered in the eighth on hits by Stewart and Felts and Coy's drive to center. Felts was a new one shot into the breach by Harry Wolverton. He will be remembered as a former Seal and Victoria outfielder. Felts save a good account of himself. Beat era March I'nhalted. But It will take several Felts' to stop the ravaging Beavers, apparently. Blffingly speaking, Kodgers. Kores and Doane were the Portland prima donnas. Rodgers and Kores secured three hits each, although the men who drove in the runs were Doane 2, Ryan S, Davis 1 and Rodgers 1. Davis' two-bagger to deep center scored Kores with the initial run In the second Inning. In the third Hig ginbotham and Bancroft opened with hits; Rodgers brought Hig across, and Doane sent both Banny and Rodgers hoofing homeward by a smash to center. Portland did not score again until the eighth when singles by Doane and Kores and Ryan's two-bagger Into deep left center drove the popular Harry Stewart to the clubhouse. Two cored on Buddy's terrific drive. Arellanea Sent to Rescue. Arellanes sailed to the rescue and the inning ended without further damage. Felts, Young. Rohrer and Speas negotiated some sparkling field ma neuvers. Gus Fisher, too. showed to advantage, outguessing Shinn in the second inning on an attempted double teal and nabbing Jimmy off third base- . Southpaw Williams will be sent back at Portland today in one of the double headers and po3sibly Stroud In the other. McCredle will use Lush and pos sibly Tape. The first game begins at 2 o'clock.

I.. Aug. 14. In a doubles matches that ran from sensa tional to mediocre tennis. Norman E. Brookes and Anthony F. Wilding de feated Maurice E. McLoughlin and Thomas C.

The final contests for the trophy will be played tomorrow, and to retain pos session of the massive silver bowl and the world's championship, McLoughlin must defeat Wilding and R. Norris Williams II. defeat Brookes in singles, a feat which tennis experts predict most unlikely. The Australasian victory was well earned and without flaw. The team work of the Antipodeans was that of master racquet wielders who thor oughly understood each other's plays and tactics both at net and on the deep court. Although the American pair fought desperately, they never equaled the team work of their opponents, who out played them at crucial moments. The Australasians opened with a rain of shots at Bundy. The chal lengers fought their way to the net at every opportunity and by smashing the short lobs of the defenders, won the first set- The score: Brookes and Wilding 5 5 4 8 4 0 McLoughlin and Bundy 3 7 2 6 0 4 9 1 o 41 6 4 3 36 3 In the second set McLoughlin and Bundy, by clever smashing and lobby ing, ran into a lead of three games be fore the invaders scored. McLoughlin covered two-thirds of the net and scored many points, but the pace was too fast for Bundy, whose short lobs were easily placed or killed. Mc Loughlin played like a demon and. al most single-handed, made it six-all after the Australasians needed but a point to win the set. He could not keep it up, however, and when the challengers turned their fire of shots directly at him, he outed and netted away two games and the set. The score second set:,.
