BEAVERS DEFEATED, 4 TO 1 For Eight Innings Teams - Battle Brilliantly With Tallies 1 All. Portland Hurler Weakens. (Continued From First Pasta.) dint of brilliant fielding In the pinches on both sides. But In the ninth Middleton began to weaken. Up to then he had pitched a wonderful game in the in ning just before, the eighth, he re tired the side with two on bases and only one out, by fanning the danger ous Koehler and the hard-hitting Ivan Howard on curve-ball pitching. But to open the ninth Arlett, Ms rival in the pitching business, led off with a sharp single to left. Cooper sacrificed him to second and then Middleton rather than take a chance with Wilie's bat, purposely walked him. Don Brown was up. He caught a fast pitch on the seam an crashed a single to center. It was half drive, half fly, a "sinker" as ball players call that kind of hit, and Dick Cox raced in from deep cente -after It. He put on all speed, did Cox, and made a noble endeavor to snare th ball with a flying dive. His fingers touched it, but he was half a step late as he threw himself at it, head first, he stopped, but could not quite hold it. The ball hit the ground safe and in raced Arlett from second. Lafayette Drives Safe. Ijafayette followed with anothe safe drive, also to center. Cox holding it to a single by fast work. Will scored from second on that hit. Brown reached third and Lafayette made sec end on the throw in to catch Brown at third. Then Marlott hit a long sacrifice fly to High in right. Brown started for the plate as High threw true as an arrow for thirds to catch Lafayette. He did catch him, by hair, as Hale stabbed the ball on him and retired' the side with a double play. But Brown, had scored first and that put the Beavers three runs behind. Beavers Die Fighting. The Beavers went down fighting McCann drove a hot liner to left, but It was foul by inches. Then he was an easy out on a stab of his grounder by Arlett. Wolfer. batting for Mid dieton, smashed a "hard ground ball but Brubaker scooped it and threw him out. Cox drove a single to deep center and it looked like a rally. But Arlett outwitted High, who popped to Howard, and the game was ended. With their aggressive leader and second baseman. Bill Kenworthy, in the Beaver lineup the result might easily have been different. At least twice in the game the duke would have been up with men on bases, and he wields a deadly mace in those emergenoies. Joe Sargent, who Is re placing him at second while he is out of the game at the whim of Judge Landis. baseball high commissioner, played a stellar fielding game, but couldn't connect in the batting pinches. Only One Error "Made. It was a bully game to watch, be cause almost every inning had a thrilling situation, which was saved usually by great pitching or spec- tannlar fielilinc. Onlv nne prrnr wna made by the two teams. McCann for Portland bobbling on a ground ball In the second. The error cost nothing, for two were out at the time, and the next batter skied out to Cox. Cox, Sargent and High all obliged with sparkling plays. Cox covered acres of ground in center field. High once cut off what seemed a certain double into the crowd. ground rules giving two bases on hits into the massed throngs by a nifty running stab of a ball off Marion's bat. His work held it to a single. This play was made in the fourth inning and Rowdy Elliott almost immediately afterward picked off Marlott at first with a quick throw to Poole. Lone Ron Made In First. Joe Sargent likewise made a fine debut in the field. He handled six assists, several of them oh hard-hit aground balls, and two putouts with out the slightest bobble. He was steady as a rock at critical moments. The Beavers made their lone run in the first, when Cox led off with a single and took second on High's infield hit that Mariott couldn't quite handle. Jim Thorpe struck out Jim had a bad afternoon against Arlett's puiatlers and Hale forced Cox at third. Jimmy Pool came up with his big bat and crashed a smashing double into the right field crowd, on which High tallied. The Oaks came back and scored the tying run with two out in the fourth on successive doubles by Brubaker and Koehler. Howard also hit and sent Koehler to third, but Middleton got himself out of the hole at the cost of only one run by whiffing Arlett. Oaks Threaten Twice. The Oaks advanced a man to third in the fifth, but nice work by Mc Cann, Elliott and Hale trapped him on Brown's tap to short. Brown went to second on the play, but Middleton and McCann outfoxed him andi caught him flat-footed there for the third out on a quick throw from the box. In both the seventh and eighth the Oaks threatenea dangerously. With two on and two out in tho seventh, Sargent saved things temporarily by clean fielding of Brown's hard grounder. In the eighth with two on and only one out, Middleton struck out Koehler and Howard in a row on curve balls. The Beavers sorely missed the big stick of Duke Kenworthy. They threatened numerously but didn't have quite the punch to put over runs. In the second Elliott led off with a double into the centerfield crowd, but died when McCann, Middleton and Cox went out. Middleton's hit was a hard drive at third which Mariott fielded brilliantly. la the third High hit the fence with a double with none out, but was run down between second and third on Thorpe's hit to Brubaker. Thorpe went to second, but as Hale struck out Koehler nipped him at third on an attempted eteal. Again in tho fifth the Beavers got the flrst man on but couldn't send him in. Middleton singled and was sac rificed to second by Cox, but perished when High tapped to first and Thorpe struck out. Still again in the sixth the-firs; batter. Hale, was safe on a hit, but waa cut off at second on Pooles" force play. In tho eighth the Beavers made a real threat at the plate, but asain they were mowed down. For the sixth time in the game the first batter. High this time, was safe on a hit Thorpe sacrificed him to second and i 1 - ?jvf ;4i il:V:rx?w . i Ml the prospects of a run brightened 1 In J "'- Wwllr . . - S 1 si '-Jg V -w-jf?"' x3 when Arlett walked Hale for political iiim ,.1tjJ.i-!t?w...i... iTOTWM s s f t t - purposes.

Beavers Show Dash. All In all It was a great game. Despite the absence of Kenworthy. the Beavers played with great dash. Inability to hit Arlett cost them the game and this man Arlett is a tough hombre for any club when he is right, which seems to be the case this year. Looks like Sutherland or Levereni for the Beavers today, with Hod Kller Oakland's probable choice. Yesterday's score: Oakland Cooper. 2 3 Wilto. .r 2 Brown.

ILLIAM H. KLEPPER, president of the Portland Baseball club, was hugely 'pleased with everything yesterday with one exception. That, of course, was the outcome of the game. "I certainly appreciate the manner in which the opening game was sup ported," said Klepper last night. "The record-breaking crowd was a mighty good indication that Portland fans want real baseball, and that is the brand, of ball we are going to give them. If we are weak any place we are going to strengthen that particu lar spot, and if we get any breaks at all we will be risht up there in that first division fighting tooth and nail for the old flag. "It was unfortunate that the un expected turnout of fans made It im possible for us to care for all by giv ing them comfortable seats," con tinued the Portland president. "But if those who left the park dissatisfied over the fact that we could not care for everyone will only consider the fact that there was an entirely new crew working in the box office, on the gates and inside the stands, they might overlook a few of the discom forts." On top of that It must be taken Into consldjeratlon - that yesterday was practically holiday In, iPortland, 1 Miss.
