Manager Bill Leard trotted out one of nls ancient pieces of. pitching "bric-a-brac" yesterday in the person of George Tingle, .who started hurling the pellet before "Doc" Anderson had his baby teeth. As a result of Engle's efficient pitching Seattle kicked the Buckaroos further down the-ladder, score 6 to 2. Engle had the Buckaroos strapped in the saddle in every Inning except the seventh, when Bill Fisher's crew nicked his offerings for five safeties;: netting two runs. That was the extent of Portland's scoring. Harry Francis Morton made a feeble endeavor to tame the Giants with his twisters, but it couldn't be "did" not by Morton. After Seattle scored one run in the first inning and two bases on balls in the third were converted into runs when Murphy doubled. Morton felt himself slipping. A. wild pitch put Murphy on third and Manager Fisher yanked the halter off Morton and phased him to the showers in favor of Bill Shoup. Carman lined to left and Murphy scored after the catch. Bucks Score In Seventh. Portland annexed its two runs in the seventh. Fisher filed to right. Pem broke and Peterson singled. Ritter popped to the catch for the second out. Shoup singled to center, scoring Pem broke. Kibble laced' a single to center and Peterson crossed the plate with the second run. Smith singled, filling the bases. The fans were pulling for a hit. but the best Lee could do was to ground out, pitcher to first, retiring the side. Murphy scored Seattle's initial tally in the' first Inning after he singled, took second on a throw to the plate, reached third on Carman's single and scored on a double steal. Smale and Leard were issued free transportation to first in the third inning and both runners scored when Murphy doubled to the left-field fence. Murphy moved to third on a wild pitch, which resulted in Mor ton's being sent to the bench.. Carman lilts Long Drive. Carman leaned against one of Shoup's fast ones for a long drive to left. Mur phy scoring after the catch. Richie's double to center and Engle's single to left in the eighth gave Seattle their final score. Smith and Sullivan, Buckaroo out fielders, gave the fans a sample of high class fielding and throwing. Smith cut Smale off at the plate in the first in ning with a beautiful peg to Pembroke. Sullivan's heave from center in the fifth cut Downey down at home. Bill Steel, former major-league pitch er, was a visitor at the ball park yes terday looking for promising recruits for the Chicago White Sox. Today's double-header starts at 2 o'clock.

Leather Control Board OHers All Han dle ra of Green, Shins to Restart Holdings to Government. WASHINGTON. May 17. (Special.) Baseball has received a severs blow In directly through the promulgation of an order which will curtail the supply of horse hides, so essential to the great American pastime. The Hide and Leather Control Board announces that in order to supply the Army with the necessary green salted domestic horse hides, suitable for glove leather, all stocks must at once be re ported to that body. It ia not the purpose of the Govern ment at once to assume control of the Industry, but a notice has been sent to all tanners and all handlers of green horse hides to report their holdings. Owners and handlers of the hides are ordered to allow the same to move free 13' through the ordinary channels of collection to the tanneries. All future allocation of the material will be at the direction of the Hide and Leather Control Board. Green horse hides, which are used ia certain grades of shoe leather, are to be diverted to glove leather, according to officials of the quartermaster's de partment of the Army. All professional baseball leagues are understood to have anticipated the em bargo on the sale of hides for baseball covers and baseball gloves and the or der will have no appreciable effect on the National pastime this year. It will be a serious blow, however, to the amateur baseball organisations which have not the stocks to carry them over the present season.- It may op erate to kill the sport entirely next year.
