SACRAMENTO, CaL, Sept 3. (Spe
cial.) Harry Wolverton, the man with
out a country, ducked for cover today
and left his orphans lying on a strange
doorstep. Irve Hlgglnbotham, the only
pitcher In the league who has won
more games than he has lost against
every club in the league, opened the
door, took the orphans in, gave them a
good time, but did not let them get
away with anything. The rest of the
Beaver family Joined Hig. in the fes
tivities and, while the orphans were
kicking things around, these Beavers
slipped in with a 6-to-2 win.
Eleven hits were made off Hlggln
botham, but. even though four of those
bits were made with men on bases, it
required the addition of a sacrifice fly
to put over a second run for the mis
sionary gents. Four Wolves died on
third that's how effective Hig. was
.when he tightened up.
As far as Lefty Williams alone was
concerned, it might have been a drawn
battle, for the Beavers earned only two
runs against him. Rodgers opened the
fourth with a single, took second on a
sacrifice and scored when Kores' fly to
right fell short of Shinn, who threw
ow to Halllnan. Kores rounded to
third on the play and scored on Speas"
single. Higginbotham's single. Der
rick's triple. Halllnan's wide peg to
first, Davis" double and Coy's muff of
Ryan's fly tell the tale of four Beaver
runs in the fifth.
Jimmy Shinn saved the orphans from
a shutout. He opened the fourth and
sixth with doubles. Tennant's out and
Van Burep's single chased him around
the first time. Tennant's single and
Halllnan's fly to Kores did the trick
the second time. Score:

here today, making the series stand

two teams for second position in the

Sounding the Sport Reveille
WE HAVE it on good authority that
Heinezim has an Injured lip,
which he has been wearing since the
big battle at the Cubs' field. Probably
tS Kllarororl ns the result of Zlm'S
efforts to tell Evers what he thought
of him.
t .. th. war. ir nil the fines that Zlm
has paid could be collected and sent to
Europe in gold, tne warring
would have no need to try to borrow
any of that money they want.
This from an est. contemp. : "The fra

v,, xinr-rrtift Is bothered muchly
to know whether the mysterious con
versations ana conierences lutnu

After all, the first and oldest "frat"
society in baseball is that organized
for the object of the polite and gen
ii i,r ,ni;iimi of n ticket with-
uciuaui,
out the brutal extraction of any coin.

Meanwhile the disgruntled ones sit on
the bench ana sireitu uucn
tion into a home run.
Now that Ralph Gruman is being
touted as a comer in San Francisco,
we see by the papers that they want
to be able to claim him as a San Fran
ciscan. They admit that he is not yet
19 years of age in one paragraph and
in the next, equally freely, admit that
he left San Francisco after the fire in
1906. In other words, he was only 10
when he left and .he learned practically
all he knows about the game under
Stanley McDonald at the Columbus
Club here. They already are saying
that, in the event Gruman should win
..... .k.ninnBtiln California can claim
IlllO ..lll.ini"'.." i-
,hlm as their own. We presume that if
he never snov cuauipiwuo".'
then Oregon can claim him They
know so much about him they spell
his name Grunan.
As the inevitable result of pitching
his head off for the Brooklyn Feds,
Seaton also has pitched his arm off and
recently had to go and consult a bone
setter. He can hardly raise his arm
above his head and the tendons are so
strained that he may never be able to
use his arm again. Manager Bradley
has announced that he will not call on
the tip-top star again this season.
s m . a
Along comes Jawn McGraw with a
plaint as to the unfairness of His
Umps in the National League. Only a
little time ago Stallings had made a
big fuss to the effect that the Giants
were getting more than their share of
favor. Oher managers sided with
George, possibly hoping they might
squeeze in a victory once in a while as
the result of a holler. John's state
ment that four of the umps, at least,
should be fired and that they are all
incompetent makes the international
situation quite interesting.
!.'
With the departure of the Davis cup
one is forced literally to hunt high and
low to see if there are any left. Of
course, there is Dooin's Tincup, a few
steins and individual drinking cups and
incidentally some baseball pitchers, but
that is about all.
We rather think that the individual
who has been so successful in getting
out the Federal attendance figures this
year must have been purchased by the
German government to get out their
casualty columns. Both bear the mark
of the master hand.
August 15. Date given by Ban John
son for the end of the Federal League.
August 15. Fielder Jones signs three

All those fine trotters and pacers
that Americans sold to Russian noble
men are now said to be hooked to gun
carriages. Shortly we'll doubtless get
word of such a record as Bunco Wilkes
going a mile to cannon in the record
of 9:33.
' .
At that, a recent purchase was ac
tually made by a Russian nobleman and
since the war broke out. One Madden,
of Lexington, Ky., has just sold his 13-year-old
stallion. Vice Commodore, a
2:11 pacer, and has received the money.
But the stallion is to remain in this
country until the war is over. A wise
precaution, we may add, editorially.
CITY TEAM HEADS MEET
MATTER OF PITCHERS WILL COME
' UP TONIGHT.
Vote Will Be Taken In Effort to
Bring: to End War Between
Manager.
Warring managers of teams In the
city baseball championship schedule
could not settle their differences re
garding pitchers, and W. W. Metzger,
chairman of the title committee, has
called a meeting for tonight at the
McCredle Billiard Palace, when a vote
will be taken.
All managers of teams which have
yet to play In the series or which were
entered in the games played three
weeks ago, are to vote on the question
of eligibility.
Swint, manager of the Bradford
team, and Hammer, manager of the
Meier & Frank nine, had several con
fabs yesterday, but no decision was
reached.
Hammer has not made any definite
plans for other pitchers and is pretty
sure that he is in the right regarding
the use of Lund, the Walla Walla boy.
Hammer wants Lund in the place of
Webb, his star slabster, who is out of
the games because of an injured knee.
Parkison is out of town and Hammer
was without a manager, so he thinks
the committee ought to allow him to
use the best slabster who Is at least the
equal of the man lost.

ECONOMY DECLARED RULE
City Commissioner Says Expanse !
Per Cent Under Estimate.
The City of Portland is operating for
the present year on but 0 per cent of
Its estimation under the budget, ac
cording to the declaration of Commis
sioner Dleck before the meeting of the
Non-Partlsan League at the Library
last night. He said that he had been
following the expenditures closely and
found that 10 per ceht of the total rev
enues was being saved. This was In
answer to a question asked him by one
of the league members as to what econ
omy the commission form of govern
ment was accomplishing In this city.
Commissioner Daly said that $30,000
had been saved by the water commis
sion in the first six months of Its op
eration, and Commissioner Oteck said
that the reduction of expenditures In
the department of public works during
six months of operation had been $42,
000. .
The Commissioners addressed the
meeting by request, speaking on the
public utilities and water departments.
Commissioner Dleck said the leak In
the department was In the distributing
end. He said the purchasing depart
ment had accomplished great economies
which meUed away In the distribution.
'I'll.- oiJatfttlon of the system of nller
nate sprinkling of the 16.000 lawns In
Portland was discussed by Commission
er Daly. He said that nine or 10
months out of the year Portland had a
maipr minnlv sufficient and mains ade
quate to supply a city with twlco the
population, but that In two or three
Summer months the waste and addi
tional usage made the supply run
short unless economies were practiced.
Thomas McCusker presided as chair
man of the meeting. The noxt meet
ing will be held October .
