Byron Hcuck was in rare form in the first game of yesterday's double header, letting- the Seals down with three hits. The Beavers won, 3-0, and lost the second game 3-1. They ended the series with a record of five wins and two defeats. Good baserunning by Wilie and 'Will lams' homer were the main reasons the Beavers annexed the first game. Penner and Johnson started the sec end half of the matinee, but the Seals hopped on Penner in the first and scored one run on three hits. The JSeals bunched three hits for two runs In the fourth, after which Penner tightened. Williams and Farmer must have known the circus was in town, for they both pulled off catches that entitled them to a front seat at the three ringed show. Fitzgerald, the first man up In the opening game, drove one to deep cen ter that Ken ran back and speared with one hand. In the second game Calvo lined one to right center and Ken raced in toward first, spearing the drive. Farmer robbed Pick: of a hit in the second game by tearing in hack of shortstop and getting the ball at his shoetops. The Beavers hopped on Oldham In the first inning. Hollocher doubled to right and went to third when Wilie hit to Pick. Dennie then stole second. Willams singled and "Holly" scored. Wilie taking third. Williams started to steal second and Wilie hiked for home, sliding safely under Baker. The Beavers gathered their last tally In the third, when Williams lifted the ball over the right field fence for a homer. Pick singled over Hollocher's head in the first inning, and after that Houck had the Seal sluggers helpless. In the first inning of the second frame Fitzgerald scored on his own clngle and two other hits. After that Penner and Johnson started a pitchers' battle, neither team being able to get an extra base hit. A fast double play Hollocher to Rodgers to Griggs saved Penner in the fourth inning. The Beavers left last night for the south. They will play Montague, Cal., today.

YARDS EXPECT PEACE DIFFERENCES OVER WAGES ARE LIKELY TO BE ENDED SOON. Troubles at Seattle May Complicate Matters, as Portland Workers Want to Have Same Scale. Shipyard troubles in Portland prom ise soon to be settled and dangers of a strike consequently are becoming more remote every hour. What the exact terms of the settle ment will be are not apparent, as both employers and employes have agreed to submit all their proposals and counter proposals to the Federal au thorities at Washington. Advices from Washington last night presented a hopeful outlpok for an early and satisfactory solution of the threatened trouble. So that the authorities at the Na tional capital may proceed with their work free from outside influences, neither side to the controversy is ready to submit its proposals for pub lic consideration. But the Portland situation may be complicated by threatened trouble at Seattle. The Portland workers orig inally asked the employers for adop tion of the - Seattle scale which is slightly higher, in some trades, than the Portland scale. Now, however, the Seattle employes are asking for higher wages them selves. Obviously the Portland situa- Looks big but none better at 10c HART CIGAR CO., Distributors, Portland dread s re rene tlon cannot be adjusted satisfactorily until the Seattle scale is placed on a permanent basis. Hence efforts now are being made by Government authorities both here anJ at Washington, D. C, for the adoption of a uniform scale for the steel yards at all ports on the Coast. CITIZENS DEMAND GRAVEL Railroad to Be Asked Why Road Ma terial Is Delayed. CANBY, Or.. Aug. 26. (Special.) A mass meeting of the citizens of Canby, Barlow, Aurora and Hubbard was called at Aurora on Thursday evening to ascertain, if possible, why the South ern Pacific Company could not furnish cars for the hauling of gravel for the paving of the Pacific Highway be tween Canby and Hubbard. The con tractors have the road torn up and crews are ready to work, but they have not been able to have the gravel deliv ered.

Mayor Sadler, of Aurora, was elected chairman; Arthur W. Graham, of Can by, secretary. The chairman appointed the Mayors of the four towns, with Dr. B. F. Giesy, of Aurora, Dr. H. A, Ded man and O.
