Forest fire smoke hung like a pall over the Pacific Coast League park yes terday, but the Sea3 were much at home In the fog. Del Howard's pennant-chasers hopped onto four Portland pitchers for 14 hits and won the initial game of the series. Score, San Francisco 10; Portland 4. Boy Corhan, of the Seals, was the individual star with four lusty clouts of the 14 amassed by the visitors. Bill Rodgers, of Portland, fielded sensa tionally, but some of his team-mates seemed to be suffering: from smoky as tigmatism, if there is such a malady of the eyesight The support given Krause in the first two innings was ludicrous. Bill Speas dropped an easy fly in center and Kores threw yards wide to second base after making a neat stop, all of which resulted in three runs for the Seals. Rlrger Gets Defeat. Rieger succeeded Krause In , the third, Just In time to get charged with the defeat, for the Beavers hit Southpaw Pernoll hard and Jumped ahead, 4 to 3. Rieger was yanked in the midst of the sixth after Fitzgerald bad brought two runs across with a triple to left center. Fitzgerald also romped in when Banny mussed up the relay throw. The two Seal runs in the fifth and three in the sixth gave the Howardites an 8-4 lead and Pernoll was never In trouble afterwards. Evans twirled two and two-thirds Innings and yielded one run and then Hiram West was trotted out and placed on exhibition for the first time in sev eral weeks. Hiram's arm hasn't been altogether well and he wanted to give it the litmus test. Ran Futed Against Record. Doubles by Corhan and Cartwright pasted one run against Hiram's effi ciency record, so Hiram isn't sure whether his arm is ready or not. Jerry Downs pulled a nifty one-hand top in the initial Inning that cut off at least one Portland tally. It was a wonder that Downs or anybody else could see the ball, for the smoke was as thick aa green cheese and harder on the eyes. Owing to the counter circus attrac tion, the game started 30 minutes late and close to 2000 fans passed up the hippopotami and giraffes in favor of Walter Mack's "Last Days of Pom peii" spectacle. Standridge will work for the Seals today at 3:30 o'clock and possibly Pape for Portland. Score: San Francisco I Portland ? ?

THREE SEALS AT HOME TOBI SEPULVEDA AND COLLIGAN ARE NOT WITH TEAM. Manager Howard Beats M (-Credit to Sensational Young Inflelder of Club of Ogden, Vtah. Manager Howard, of the San Fran cisco Seals, left three players behind when he brought the club north for the series with Portland. The absentees are Outfielder Tobin, Catcher Sepulveda and Utility Infielder Colllgan. Pitcher Barham has been "farmed" out to Ogden, which has been playing out the Union Association scneduie witn Salt Lake. The Seals also have an op tion on Pitcher Couch, of the Ogden team, and a sensational young infielder named Jones. Jones has been leading the Union As sociation sluggers with a mark close around .350 and is said to be one of the finest prospects ever turned out of the D circuit. He will be with the Seals next year and if ho can hit .275 ought to prove a hummer. Adolph Rebe, a local commercial trav eler, who is an expert judge of base ball timber, tipped him off to Walter McCredie several weeks ago. Dr. Harry Todd, former Beaver pitch er, returned from Salt Lake last week and Todd also gave the youngster a great sendolf. McCredie had intended drafting Jones until he found out that Howard had a string on him. "We jumped into second place by defeating Portland today," said Man ager Howard, last night. "And I think we will take the series and close the gap between the two leaders before the week is out. We ought to have taken the odd game from Venice last week, for Pernoll lost as tough a game as I have seen in years. "We had the bases full in the eighth and nobody out and could not score and Pernoll had two Tigers out in the ninth and nobody on and then they bagged four flukey hits and won out." GEEKS, SILENT REIXSMAX, WINS No Records Broken, However, in Grand Circuit at Fort Erie. BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 25. Despite the recent heavy rains, the track at Fort Brie, Ontario, was in good shape for the opening of the Grand Circuit races this afternoon. No records were broken, but fast time was made in the four events carded. King Couchman, driven by Dick Mc Mahon. won the Fort Erie stake of $5000 for 2:11 pacers. Ed Geers, the silent reinsman, gave an exhibition of his skill this after ' ' Top, Record-Breaking Left Hand of Rube Marquard, and famous Rlfrht Hand of the "Peerlens" Matty Just Before Delivering; Their Famous "Fadeawaya."

Guy Nelle was in the field, while Grace, McDev itt's mare, ruled favorite. Geers sent the daughter of Guy Axworthy home in straight heats. In the last heat Rob ert Milroi, after relinquishing the lead to Guy Nelle, met Wanaket at the three-quarter pole, but Snow escaped injury. After the finish of the heat the judges placed Grace, who had finished second to Geer's horse, last, and gave Robert Milroi third place in the heat and fourth money in the race. Grace, it was claimed, stepped into Milrol's sulky, causing the horse to fall. Star Winter, barred in the betting, won the Dominion of Canada stake of $2000 for 2:10 trotters.

VICTORY YET HOPED FOR Fact That Pennant Never Has Been Won Four Times in Succession Palls on Players, but Come back Is Predicted. BY CHRISTY MATHEWSON. Giants' Star Pitcher. NEW YORK, Aug. 25. (Special.) A good Jinx scatterer would be welcomed gratefully in the camp of the Giants right now. The members of the New York team feel that the hoodoo of the fourth consecutive pennant is hanging heavily over the club. There is not a man on the payroll who does not be lieve honestly that we have a better ball club than any other in the league, and that all we need to prove it is to have some lucky omen blow into camp, anything from a mongrel dog to a "nut," Just as long as the luck comes along. The Giants have watched a team cut down their 15-game lead since the first of July, and this by a club that looked bad then. Even now the Braves do not seem to be nearly the equal of the Giants', man for man. Four Held Supers tit io u . But no ball club has ever won the pennant four times in a row. There fore, we are up against the psychology of this handicap. Every time the club has a bad day, the boys figure it is the old four - times - championship jinx at work and play accordingly. And we have had many bad days lately. In spite of the belief in some quar ters that no club can win four straight championships, I believe the Giants are yet going to beat the Boston team and break all pennant - grabbing records. We have the material and we have the manager. The Bra-es are going to blow wide open, as I figure it, when they hit that old stretch which has cracked a gap in so many ball clubs that have held up well to the end of August- The Giants have been standing off team after team for four years now. In 1912 we had a big margin opened early in the race, only to fall back within three or four games of the Cubs at the end of August. Chicago looked like a better ball club then than the Braves do this year, but we pulled away from the Cubs and finally came through to the second flag easily. I don't think the four-pennant jinx is going to beat us, but if we do lose this will have had a lot to do with it. Giant Victory Predicted. For the most part the Braves have been playing with everything to gain and nothing to lose, because they have been coming from behind. Let them set the pace awhile and get a few bad breaks, and the strain will tell. If the two teams are neck and neck after this Western trip, I believe the Giants will come through on the stretch, for the New York team has the class, and McGraw has all his baseball ambi tions wrapped up in that fourth straight flag. He will drive to the limit So far it has been a dismal trip for the Giants. The players are all sore at themselves and are grouching around. The blame for the poor showing of the team cannot be placed on any one man, for nearly every member of the team has had a part in it. We all realize that we must pull together and fight. The players are mad now, and when a ball club of veterans gets its teeth set and its neck bowed, it is likely to come back. I want It known that we are far from beaten now. Boston has a long way to go to the pennant. OUSTED MANAGER QTJITS GAME Mordecai Brown, of St. Lonis Fed erals, Leaves for West. ST. LOUIS, Aug 25. Mordecai Brown, deposed manager of the St. Louis Federals, has quit baseball, ac cording to information given out today by an official of the St. Louis Feder als.

BUNDY DAY'S BRIGHT STAR World's Tennis Champion Unsteady In Double Play and Little Los An geles Man Proves Ability at Court Generalship. - ,-..n tj t in? 25. Maurice1 Wliwrvni, 4.1- - s- . B. McLoughlin, of San Francisco, and Thomas C. Bundy, of Los Angeles, won the lawn tennis doubles championship of the United States for the third Ume today. Two tall silver vases, which have been awaiting permanent- claim ants since 1910. became the Prsonaj property of the Callfornlans after they had disposed of Dean Mathey, of Cran ford N. J., and George Church, of New York, in straight sets. The scores were 6-4. 6-2, 6-4. Most of the generalship in the matcn, as well as the weight of the defense, fell on the shoulders of Bundy. Mc Loughlin was unsteady, and, as Mathey and Church made Bundy the target of their shots, the little Los Angeles player had his hands full. His lobby ing was always timely, his kills were severe and he placed ball after bail at Matheys feet. Although Mathey and Church had been carefully coached for the match, they seemed to have an attack of stage fright. Their working plan, which proved so effective in Chicago, went to pieces. They rushed about the court at random and frequently got in one another's way. although they showed occasional flashes of ability to make the champions extend them selves, especially in the first and third sets, when they scored place after place. The match, while going to 20 games, was over in three-quarters of an hour, there being but six deuce games. The best tennis of the day in singles was the match between R N. Williams II, of Philadelphia, and Harvard and William M. Johnston, of San Francis co, This match held the morning crowd for more than an hour. John- ctrtn'n aah H A1 thu Kcnro in Hip sec ond set and he was going strong in Hi'.' v lien vviiuaius i iin."'i uiiu carried it off. This seemed to take the spirit out of the Californian, as he faded away in the last set. Nearly all the morning matches were decided in straight sets. As soon as the play opened the officials an nounced the default of Norman E. Brookes, the Australian, whose place in the second round in singles had been kept open two days. Summary: E.

Grandstand Judges Numerous, is Aside Refrrenrr. PORTLAND, Aug. 24. (Sporting Ed itor.) It seems to a majority of the fans at the game Sunday that Ban croft should have been charged witli an error wnen he Juggled Middleton's hit, the first man up. He could have thrown him out at first. The scorer is very lenient with the errors, instead of giving everyone hits. Bancroft is certainly a good ball player. He also got his hand on tho ball, whicli he let drop in center field. Scoring is Interesting, but really Port land has a poor scorer, it may be you, but I doubt It. What say you? Let's hear from you in one of your personals in Tho Oregonian. As ever, an old fan. V. G. PARSONS. There is not a question of a doubt but that Middleton was deserving of a hit In tho instance citod by Mr. Par sons. The ball was hit to Bancroft's right, and, as Middleton is a fast man, Bancroft tried to make a last play and gummed it up. it would have taken more than ordinary mechanical skill to have retired the Oak gardener. Had the play been made on Zacher. Mit.e, Ness or Arbotfast an error might have been scored. I . Ttarunna 111.. 7 K na,f rt f ball fans, Imagines that every time a player gets his hands on tho ball ami misses a play lie should be charged up with an error. Nothing could bo further from the truth. Base hits should be scored in every case whon the fielder cannot reasonably be ex pected to field a fair batted ball in such manner as to put out the runner or force a precodlng runner. Furthermore, a baso hit is always scored when a fielder makes a mental misjudgmnt instead of a mechanical. Bancroft's other play in center field was a mental mlsjudgmeut, for tho ball belonged to the center fielder. Like the SIS per week philanthropist, who knows more about Rockefeller's business than Rockefeller, tho average. fan naturally differs from the official scorer. Yet the official scorer makes a business of studying out rules and in dividual characteristics of the players, both of which must bo taken Into due consideration. Any business that requires so little judgment and skill that the ordinary outsider can step in without years of training and experienco and run It as well as the boss isn't much of a skilled business, la it? We don't think so, either. The issue is not one confined to Portland. In every city where base ball is played, minor and major alike, there are more three-play, 18-caraL turbine exemplar official scorers in the grandstand than there are German sol diers in Belgium.

Buyers From Surrounding Vil lages and Towns Stalk Their Prey in City. RESPONSIBILITY IS VAST Work or Trailing Pompon, Aljjrrlir and Beaver Shape and Velvet Bonnet Hot and Weary and No Joke, at All. INDIANAPOLIS, Auar. 2S It Is opun season on Fall millinery. From all tha surrounding towns and villages come milliners stalking their prey, like Diana of old. They come on the trail of the pompon and the aigrette, to chase the beaver shape and the velvet bonnet to their lair. They pursue the ostrich lip. the bandeau and tha rib bon rosette, and when they capture their prey at last they rend It brim from brim. The wholesale millinery establish ments are buzzing like tango teas. Other localities may be suffering from military Invasion, but this Is millinery Invasion. It is "opening week." With the sun still hot enough to singe tho nap on a beaver hat, the mil liners must prepare for tho Fall trade. They must lay In their supplies of hats before the hat fanciers get to snirflng the air. Hence, from the first week In August through the rest of the month, the Fall hats are displayed and tha out-of-town buyers flock to the scene. Everything depends on the small town milliner. Maybe she doesn't ap preciate her responsibility and. again, maybe she does. Responsibilities Are Vast. In her hands lies the bestowinr or the refusal of beauty. She can make a hat for one girl thnt. by Its becom ingness, will cause Bill Jones, who Is inclined to trifle along, to stop trifling and actually get the ring. and. on tha other hand, she can sell another hat that will cause love's young dream to collapse. Her windows are the mecea of tha feminine population of the town. Thera Is not a woman In a small town who docs not know every hat the milliner has in stock, and they are waiting for her now to see what new creations In the way of headgear she will bring back. Some responsibility, that! It Is hot, weary work, too. It Isn't any joke to walk through miles and miles of showroom aisles and paw over anywhere from a hundred to a million plumes, tips, quills, stlckups. pompons, blue roses, yellow tomatoes and the other faunal and horticultural freaks that ndorn hats. Ladles' Aid ftnshleren. A hat that looks all rlht In tha metropolis might cause a riot on Main street you've got to remember that. While buying for one or two really "stylish" patrons one must not forget tho Ladles' Aid. to some members of which the wearing of a becoming hat amounts to a sin. One must remember that two Identical hats, no matter how becoming, will cause tho ownors. whru they both live In the same town, to De come deadly enemies. Hence the mil liner dares take only one model of tnat sweet black velvet with the pink rosea on the brim. Tho young wmncn at homa will have to take their chances on get ting their hands on It first. Mingled with the pricing of mil linery, comments on millinery, mourn ing over the prevalent high pn. e on millinery, tho comparing of notes of the peculiarities of customers, other gossip Is exchanged, recipes are writ ten out, while wholesale millinery salesmen stand by, courteously atten tive, but wishing to goodness they'd hurry up. The strange peculiarities of employes and employers are dls. uised. Why. the proprietor of one shop h.is to romo to Indianapolis herself, he cause her head trimmer, who always did the buying, got married last week and didn't give opening week a thought Items Art- 1,1 sled.

The vory hlsh hat adornments still will be with us the feather contrap tions, a foot or two high, that Mourned last yenr, will blossom this year. Most of the hats rlaht now are Ilttla onos. with high crowns, but wide, flat hats, with wide flat flowers on them, will be along later. Gold lace and Jet are favorlta trim ming for Fall hats.
