The Portland fans' dream of the end of a perfect week a grain st Del Howard and his paks was rudely shattered yesterday, when the boys from the nunny south won both games of a double-header. Scores, 8-3, 3-2. It loked as though the Beavers had the second game salted away with Stringbean" Joe Dailey twirling phe nomenal ball until the Oaks sauntered to the plate in the ninth inning with the Beavers two runs to the good. Up until this time Dailey had the Oaks winging like a garden gate. Then Mensor, first man up, walked and took third on Murphy's two-bagger to right center. Bill Stumpf took a toe-hold at the plate and sent another two-base cwat to left, scoring Mensor and Mur phy. Stumpf took third on the throw Jn. This tied up the score, but Roxey Middleton singled to center and Bill Stumpf came across with the third run, which "Iced" the game for the Oaks. Farmer Gets K re a It Homer. Both Goodbred and Dailey pitched wonderful ball. Until the ninth canto Dailey allowed but three hits and whiffed four. Goodbred was hit for six safeties. The Beavers annexed their runs in the sixth, when Siglin singled and was sacrificed to second by Dailey and scored on Farmer's "freak" home run to center. Farmer knocked a grass cutter to center and Lane came tearing in after the ball. As he stooped to pick it tip he turned on his ankle and fell over in agony. The ball rolled to the fence and Farmer waa credited with a home run. The Beavers made a desperate attempt to score In the ninth, but a rather pe culiar incident at the plate ended what might have been a Beaver victory. Declaion Kills Hopes. Two singles In succession put a Port land runner on third. feiglin hit to Bill Stumpf, who threw to Murray at the plate, who tagged the Portland run ner, and then according to Pearl Casey, umpire, but disputed by Man ager McCredie and a multitude of fans Murray laid the ball down in front of him while he attempted to adjust his shinguards. which the Portland base runner collided with. Casey called the man out and then changed his decision, calling him safe. A hasty collection of Oakland players crowded about Casey, protesting. After a conference with Umpire Frary. Casey again changed bis decision and called the runner out, and all hopes of tying the score and pulling the game out of the fire were lost. Harry Gardner started the first game but was supplanted by Brenton in the eighth inning, after the Oaks had scored six runs. Brenton worked the eighth inning, and the Oaks managed to score two runs on a single, two bases on balls and an error. Penner -replaced Brenton in the ninth, and held the Oaks scoreless. Oak' Play Kanltleaa. The Beavers found Ray Kremer a real puzzle, and the best they could do with his offerings was three runs. Kremer held the Mackmen to six hits, which he managed to keep well scat tered. Rod Murphy and Bill Stumpf were the batting stars for the day. Murphy getting six hits out of nine trips to t he plate, while Bill Stumpf annexed five hits out of nine times at bat. The Oakland club played errorless ball In both games, while the Beavers managed to "boot" four chances in the first game and one in the second. The Oaks left last night for San Francisco, where they clash with the Kalt Lake club. Vernon arrives here Tuesday for a. seven-game series with the Beavers.

BOSTON GIVES UP GHOST Nation's Largest Cities Will Lock Horns for First Time in Diamond Classic Indians Set Pace by Winning Seven Straight. NEW YORK, Sept. 23. Chicago clinched the American League pennant Friday, but the New York. Nationals still have one more game to win before the 1917 National League flag is theirs beyond dispute. It was fitting that Clarenc- Rowland should win his first major league cham pionship from the club which has been Chicago's strongest opponent, the Red Sox. It was on their home grounds that the 1916 champions finally fell be fore the White Sox. The game was hard-fought and it took the sew cham pions 10 innings to overcome Boston by a 2-to-l score. From now on, the Chicago players can get into condition for the great series against New York the first time that teams representing the two largest cities in the country have met in the baseball classic Cleveland Bet the pace in the Amer ican League last week by winning all of its seven games. Detroit triumphed in five out of six. Washington early in the week took fifth place from New York and finished the week in that po sition, the Yankees losing six out of seven. In the National League New York be gan its final intersectional games against Chicago on Monday and in three games was victorious twice.

He started to dream about his end of the world series "if ho had onlr stayed with tbe Giants, but Ga Fisher woke him up when he threw quickly to Griggs, catching Kremer sound asleep. In the ninth Inning of the second game Griggs drove a sisxler to Bill Stumpf. who ran over back of third and grabbed tbe ball with his "meat" hand. It went for a hit. Stumpf again broke Into the lime light when he speared Wille's grounder back of second and threw Denny out at first. It looked like a hit In any league.

MAGNATE NOT REAL FAN Man Who Hopped Into Limelight via Fed Route Hadn't Been to Game In Home Town for 10 Years; White Sox Favorites. Like a bomb from the skies, Phil D. C. Ball, owner of the St- Louis Ameri can League club, dropped into the Vaughn street grounds yesterday, be tween trains, on his way to Seattle, where he is going on a pheasant shoot with friends. Mr. Ball arrived from San Francisco, where he has been on a business trip. The big league magnate is no stranger on the Coast, but this is his first visit to Portland since his connection with the St. Louis Browns, of which Fielder Jones, of Portland, is manager. The rotund magnate viewed three Innings of yesterday's first game be tween the Oaks and Beavers, but had to leave in a hurry to catch the Shasta Limited for Seattle at 2:30. Mr. Ball is a big stockholder in a number of icing plants throughout the United States and, is on a tour of in spection of his stations, which number about eight on the Pacific Coast, where refrigerator cars carrying fruits and other perishables east are stocked with ice. Jones Capable Leader. When quizzed regarding the lowly position the Browns hold in the Amen can League race. Mr. Ball pleasantly regretted their standing, but attributed it to injuries to the players from the very outset of the league race. "1 am satisfied that my club would be up among the leaders had it mot been for the injuries to some of our stars," said Mr. Ball. "Davenport, one of our mainstays, was out of the game the beginning of the season, when he accidentally shot himself while clean ing a gun. McCabe. Weilman and Shotten were also on the hospital list most of the time. "Fielder Jones is a wonderful leader. and any reports that he will not be with me next year are unfounded. I have every confidence in Fielder, and with any kind of a brea: next year we will show them all our heels. Honck Makes Hit. "I was doubly pleased to hear that we got Byron Houck in the draft. From the reports I had and from information furnished me since I have been on the Coast I am elated over our success in drawing this young man. Fielder Jones wanted him very bad for next season. "Branch Rickey's leaving ns In a lurch was another factor in our inabil ity to make headway, but with Bobby Quinn on the job our business affairs are well looked after. Ball Likes White Sox. "Yes. I like the White Sox to win the world's series. . I am not much of a fan and leave all the ball talk for Jones to handle. Until I dabbled In the Fed eral League I wasn't inside of Hedges Park in St. Louis for 10 years, so you can gather from that I am no real dyed- in-the-wool fan. But the White Sox seem to be the favorites every place I go, and, judging from that, I think they ought to win. "It Is too bad we did not get Charlie Hollocher. Mr. Quinn said he wasn't going very good the time he saw him on the Coast. He is a wonderful ball player, from what I have heard. And then again he is from our home town St. Louis." Walter McCredie gave Tobin, the Salt Lake outfielder, a great boost to the St. Louis owner. Tobin is the property of St. Louis and will report in the Spring.

It was this fact that gave Duke his Christian name. "Duke." During the reign of Kamehameha V. in 1869, the Duke of Edinburgh arrived in Honolulu and was the guest of the King, resid ing at the royal palace. There are half a dozen important events in Ha waii's history which are still referred to by old-time Hawaiians as unusual incidents and one of these was the English peer's visit. During his so journ in the Hawaiian capital a son was born to a high chief and chiefess. whose family name was Kahanamoku. The son was named Duke in honor of the visiting peer, who also was sponsor at the christening. The son of the first Duke Kahanamoku is our present Duke, the fastest swimming human in all the world. Success! Taken Llehtly. Throughout his life Duke Kahana moku has never indulged in smoking or drinking and in spite of the im mense lionizing which has been his due since his famous victory at the Stock holm Olympic games a few years ago, he has kept his head on his shoulders and is still as abstemious as ever.
