BY ROSCOB FAWCETT.
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:

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.

the card, the 2:06 class trot. 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.

JINX SCARES GIANTS
Need of Hoodoo Destroyer
Seen by Christy Mathewson.
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.

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

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-

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:

SPORTING EDITOR ANSWERS FAN'S
QUERY ABOUT PLAY SUNDAY.
MIddleton Entitled to Hit, Says Expert.
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

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

Items Art- 1,1 sled.
Here are a few of the Items that tha
milliner will glean from her Invasion
of the wnolesale millinery establish
ments: Ostrich feathers that Just missed
going to the ash can last year will ba
resurrected In all their curled nlory.
Velvet and plush particularly blade
will be terribly swell.
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

Tho most striking trlmmlnfr of all Is
