Hal Danzig's trusty bat won yester day's matinee on the Vaughn-street grounds in the first inning, for the big first-sacker connected with one of Gray's offerings for a three-ply swat, thanks to Mr. Brashear's consideration in playing alongside the flagpole. The poke, brought In Ryan, who had singled, and Johnson, who had walked, and made it possible for Danzig to score the third run when Mc Credle secured a dinky infield' hit. That was the sum total Portland was able to glean off "Dolly" Gray, while the best the Angels could do, in spite of their fre quent hitting, was to score twice, and Portland captured the fourth straight game of the series. Incidentally, the string of successes makes it possible for Portland to leap to the lead if another victory can be added this afternoon. Jesse Garrett, in spite of the fact that the Angelanos found him for twice as many hits as Gray allowed, was an un solvable riddle to the Seraphs when a safe swat would have chased In a clus ter of tallies; A sample of his splendid pitching came in the fifth canto, when Los Angeles first became acquainted with the score sheet. Jud Smith opened the inning with a single, and was followed by "Rube" . Ellis, who connected for a double, but Judson was held at third. Delmas wafted ineffectually three times. Bassey's Catch Saves Game.' Cap Dillon then sent Easterly to bat in place of "Happy" Hogan, and the Angel slugger, laced a long fly to left which seemed likely to break up the engagement, but Bassey tore up the sod in grand style and by a leap in the air pulled down the drive. The catch was made so far out that Smith scored and Easterly gains credit for a . sacrifice fly. while Bassey held Ellis at second. Gray ended the inning with a fly to Raftery. The eighth inning witnessed the sec ond ace registered by the visitors, and again they assumed a threatening de meanor. "Dolly" Gray led off with a single. Bernard forced him at second, but Oakes negotiated for a double, and "Barney" scored because McCredle heaved to second instead of to the plate. There was plenty of time to get Bernard, and McCredle's play was not relished by the fans. Dillon ambled to the plate with the idea that he could score Oakes easily, but Garrett fooled him completely, and the Angel leader fanned. Bassey made another grand stand catch of Brashear's drive and the inning was over. The first and the seventh Innings were the only sessions in which the gritty little Portlander got away with his opponents without trouble. In the other inning-s the Angels hit the ball, and while some of these went safe, the great majorir of the swats were easily caught, and he thereby wormed out of his predicaments much easier than Gray. Gray Free With Passes. "Dolly" was wild throughout the game, and after Portland had scored enough runs to win in the first inning, Gray passed seven batsmen to first on balls, and hit Casey, which made a total of eight gifts distributed after he had lost the game. He steadied at critical times and kept the hits down to two after the Initial inning. This accounts for the scarcity of runs secured off him during the game. In the ninth inning Jud Smith was the first man to face Garrett, and. as he had started the trouble in the fifth canto, the fans were somewhat uneasy. Garrett proved that he was on the job with both feet, however, for he fanned the Angel thlrd-sacker. "Rube" Ellis fell a victim to Garrett's wiles, and, after having two strikes called on him. went out to Raftery. Delmas, the third man up. succeeded in driving one over second base for a single. Easterly drove in practically the same spot, but Pearl Casey was there with bells, and, grabbing the hit as it bounded over . the base, turned quickly and threw to Dansig, getting the batter by a narrow margin. It was a grand play and the fans applauded roundly, for it made the third out and ended the game. Fans Get Best of Dillon. The bugs had a rousing time with Cap Dillon In the fourth inning. Dillon secured a questionable hit after O'Con neil' had called two strikes on him. and when he reached first base kept ragging the umpire. Garrett suddenly shot one of his side-arm deliveries to Danzig and the Angel leader was caught standing up. The play pleased the crowd immensely, and the leader of Seraphs was guyed unmercifully. It Is Big Eddie Klnsella's turn to go against the Loo Loos again this after GOES a O "0 5 ft i ' 2 : o iLi i : noon, but he may give way to Jack Graney. who has importuned McCredle for another chance against the league leaders. Graney is still sore over that first defeat handed him by the Dillon crowd and he Is anxious for revenge. McCredle may satisfy his desire and let him- pitch today, providing he feels ca pable before the game starts. For Los Angeles, either George "Wheeler or Thorgen will occupy the mound.

BY GHiGAGO GIRLS Women Ball Players Outbat Outfield and Outrun the Wabash Team. BIRDIE CARLETON ON JOB Her Coaching Revelation to Old Fans Blanche Orrie Knocks Two-Bagger and Plays Great Game at Keystone Sack. And Birdie Carleton looks lust as good and plays first just as well as she did about 18 years ago when she swung the Boston Bloomer Girls around the East- ern and ' Middle Western circuits. In "v." S',-,a J;'j'". w physical proportions, Birdie is all that 'Pop" Anson ever was, and that may account for the easy victory which she and her pink tea party team-mates had over the Wabash nine, at St. John, yes terday afternoon. The score was 8 to 4 in favor of the directoire gowns, and the way Birdie bossed the Job from the quarter stake would have made Harry Davis envious in a worlds champion ship series. The big grandstand at St. John was well filled when "Trilby" Rankin waved the Wabash lads into the lield, anci for nine solid innings the crowd, which Had dug down and pungled up, screeched their heads off for the maidens in the ruddy bloomers. Ever time a "lady" slid into a base there was a' salvo of applause for no particular reason, for the dust was heavy and hid the bases. Blanche Orrle was the heroine of the tragedy, all the way along, and for a woman she played a marvelous game, both at the bat, at second base and on the circuit. This rather frail-built girl smashed a two-base drive clear to the left fence in the fourth inning, and poked the ball into deep left field three-times in succession, stole the only two bases of the game, made four put-outs, one a stinging drive, and had three assists. Once she made an error in reaching for a sizzling grounder that got past. It was a spectacular game throughout. "Uinp" Rankin got so nervous admiring the statuesque beauty of the visiting batswomen that he got wobbly several times on balls and strikes, so that "Brick top" Crosby is charged up with IS passes to first base. Crosby himself got nerv ous when he slammed a hot inshoot Into Alice Lansing's bustle, and after that he walked five men, or rather women, in a row. Wabash Is Outclassed. ' The Wabash outfit was on the blink from .start to finish, and Crosby allowed the girls to wallop him all over the ball yard, after they opened up the fireworks in the fourth round. The local sciuad gathered in a brace of runs in the last breath of the third by a lot of hysterical smelling-salts plays by the Windy City short-skirts. .Every time a ball hap pened into range the girls would jump after it, sit down and think it over and then ask Rankin for a curling-iron and a whiskbroom to arrange their toilettes. In the seventh inning "Lajoie" Orrie got an awful belt in the eye from a high-bounding throw, and "Trilby" for- I Miw jpmwwfspsw r ssHwpjEswi(ptsaRsgffviapsm jam??':- d&tew f 1 got that he was the referee and pushed down to first base, where she was dig Sing the bail out of her lovely pompa dour. Rankin mopped the perspiration and the St. John real estate off her face and exclaimed dramatically: "There, there, dear girl, I will hie me away to a butcher-shop and slap upon thy twinkling orb a juicy slab of fat pork; yea, the fattest of the pork." Blanche felt much bet ter, and she got a couple of sto ,a bases to boot. The Chicago girls were a revelation to the hundreds who saw" the game, for, with two of three exceptions, they were classy ballplayers. Their eight runs were due to the fact that Pitcher Crosby, for the Wabash team, couldn't have rolled a ball over the plate after he got a few glimpses at the opposing batswomen, and the girls took care to say sweet things to him. Birdie Carleton's Coaching. "It was worth a mint of money to hear "Birdie," the boss, coach the girls wh?n they got on bases. "Alice, you old punk oeoro. get off there 20 feet. What's the matter? Can't you get a divorce from the base? That fellow is married, and don't you try any Leap-Tear gags on him. Soak the second baseman in the slats. He's got a grouch -on and thinks the home gu's ought to win'. Hang onto your skirts and run." That's the way Birdie gave it to them as she mopped the perspiration off her freckled brow with the hem of her scarlet bloomers. The Wabash outfit played like a bunch of palsied crocodiles, fielded like a hope less ward in a blind asylum and ran bases- like hitehing-posts. They couldn't have beaten a carpet, and were licked from the start. - Each of the girls got an extra stick 4 iv I,. "GRACE," THE STOCKY LEFT FIELDER of gum and an ice ' cream, after the game, for winning their first local vic tory. This afternoon they hook up with the Vancouver team, and if they show as good form as they did yesterday, it will be easy money.. The score: lion Scorer Saw Game. CHICAGO; LADIES. - A.B. R. H. P.O.

' The Portland bunch has been win ning games from the Angels with the assistance of a few but timely bingles. Something Is liable to happen to some unfortunate twlrler if the husky Port land sluggers ever get into the bat ting frame, which made them so formid able in the past; Philadelphia turned the tables on Detroit yesterday, and, while they only scored half as many runs as did the Tigers on the previous day, they trimmed the jungle beasts' claws hand somely. The Athletics are breaking even at the present time, but Connie Mack expects his team to make a bid for the pennant shortly. Jesse Garrett pitched Just 110 balls in yesterday's game. His hardest in nings were the Bixth and eighth, when he threw 17 balls to the Angels wflo faced him. His easiest inning was the fourth, when six pitched balls - retired the side, :.

Mixed doubles Miss Hazel Hotch klss and E. Jordan defeated Miss Amy Heitshu and W. A. Goss. About twice the usual number of spectators were in attendance at the Oregon State tennis tournament that was concluded on the Irvingtbn courts yesterday. The major portion of those present had gathered to witness the final round in the men's singles be tween W. A. McBurney, of Spokane, and Joe Tyler, also of that city. Mc Burney had the advantage in nearly all of the games, and took three of the four sets from the former champion. The match started at 3 o'clock with both men in the best of form. At the opening of the first set, Tyler clearly outplayed McBurney, volleying strong and . sure. McBurney showed a great deal of annoyance from the wind, which was strong and blowing right Into his face, disconcerting him. He did not succeed in checking Tyler's lead, and the set went to Tj-ler by a- 3-6 score. Tn the second set McBurney, by good generalship, made a number of clean passes. His volleying was deep and true, and his service strong. Tyler weakened perceptibly , in this set, which went to McBurney by a score of s-3. Tyler Weakens In End. The third set, though somewhat" like the first, resulted in McBurney's favor by a score of 6-3. After a short inter mission the men resumed play, and it proved from the outset that the match would go to McBurney. 'Tyler, though game, was 'very weak in his drives. and McBurney simply played all around him. passing him at will; and by his supf-lor volleying, took ' the fourth and final set, and with It the state championship, together with the Flsk challenge cup. The score of this set was 7-6. The morning's events opened up in a good lively fashion with the finals in men's doubles, for the state championship honors. Tyler and McBurney defeated A. Remington and E.- Jordan, of Aus tralia. The match went to three sets and proved an easy victory for the winners. The reason for it was obvious to those acquainted with the players. Three of the participants, Tyler, McBurney and Jordan are top-notchers, and Remington, while he is a good player, was entirely out of his class. In consequence of this the brunt of the playing devolved upon Jordan, who, while he battled hard to avert defeat, was poorly supported. Remington at times, made some excel lent recoveries, and had the pace not been quite so fast, would have shown to good advantage. Tyler served finely and McBurney's general play was clever and reliable throughout. The score was 6-1, 6-2, 6-3. Win Two Straight Sets. In the final round in the mixed doubles, for the state championship Miss Hazel Hotchkiss and Mr. Jordan defeated Miss Heitshu and Walter Goss in two straight sets, score 6-0, 6-2. Miss Heitshu and Mr. Goss, although playing good tennis? were unable to keep their opponents down at all. The main feature in this match was the way in which Miss Hotchkiss played up at the net alongside of her partner, and her volleying was simply superb. . The weeding out process In ladles sin gles which has been going on from day to day finally brought it down to Miss Hotchkiss and Miss Heitshu. There were originally 35 entries for championship honors, but one by one they .were rele gated by defeat. The John C. Ainsworth challenge cup was at stake In this event. It was a hotly contested struggle throughout, although Miss Hotchkiss clearly outclassed her rival. Miss Helt- shu made use of her entire store of ten nis skill in her efforts to pass Miss Hotchkiss, and the two-set score ended In the latter's favor, 6-0 6-0. Ladies' Doubles Good Event. The ladles' doubles, a particularly in teresting event, with Miss Hotchkiss and Miss Leslie Leadbetter as opposites to Mrs. Walter Cook and Miss Stella Fording,- resulted in a two-set victory for the Hotchklss-Leadbetter side, by a score of 6-2, 6-4. The losers battled valiantly in an effort to take the net at every oppor tunity, . but their opponents kept them In check throughout the entire game. Miss Leadbetter showed by her form yester day that she plays a far better game in doubles than she does in singles. Mixed Doubles. Miss Hazel Hotchkiss and E. Jordan de feated Miss Amy Heitshu and W.

(Special.) The ball game today was a joke. Even Dugdale, whose face has been a cloud of gloom for weeks, had to smile when he saw his men kicking to the fence what balls the visitors didn't drive safe. It was a patched up team that Seattle put in the held, but the substitutes were no worse than the regulars. The Canucks hit Gordon pretty much as they pleased and if the ball didn't go safe, the local fielders booted It.

National Geographic Magazine. Differing widely, as they do. In struc ture and habits, birds collectively are able in man's interests to police earth, air and water. The thrushes and other ground feeders scour the earth and hunt under leaves for hidden Insects. The warblers, titmice, .nuthatches, creepers and others search among tne foliage and In the crevices of bark for all manner of creeping things. The woodpeckers, a highly specialized group, perform a service no other birds are equal to, since with their specially designed chisels they dig into wood and drag forth the hidden larvae that prey on our forest monarchs. The flycatchers from their perches dash out for their prey as it files from bush or bush or tree to tree, while the swallows and swifts skim the air and with intricate evolutions snap up such insects as have escaped the active search of their ffrethern nearer earth. The waters, too, and their shores, havs their feathered denizens which exact special ' tribute of the insect world. So that, quite aside from questions of sentiment, birds must be adjudged to play an active and important part in keeping nature's balance true. Their role is all the more important, since no other creatures are fitted for their special duties. Moreover, if we may judge the future by the past, the ser vices of birds must become increas ingly valuable as time goes on. Ag riculture, always Important In the United States, Is constantly assuming . greater importance. The stream of immigration from the Old World and tbe steady increase of our own mil lions mean an ever-augmenting con sumption of food at home, while the demand from abroad for American foodstuffs never ceases for a moment. To supply this triple demand, better methods of tillage must be devised and more and more acreage must be devoted to agriculture. But increased acreage and larger crops mean a vast increase of insect life as the result of a more constant and abundant supply of food. Even now, despite the incessant warfare waged against them, Insects are not diminishing in numbers. On the con trary, in many localities they are in creasing. Especially are new pests finding their way into the country, and as these usually are unaccom panied by the enemies which keep them in check at home, they frequent ly run riot in the new-found paradise. Well-known instances are the cotton boll weevil and the gypsy and brown tailed moths. It is estimated by ento mologists that the annual loss of ag ricultural products from insect rava ges in the United States Is not less than $500,000,000. To birds, then, we must look for allies, in the continuous warfare against insect pests, and if they are to play even the same rela tive part in the future as they have in the past they should not only be protected, but determined efforts should be made to increase their num bers and make their work more ef fective. What would happen were birds ex terminated no one can foretell with absolute certainty, but it is more than likely nay. It is almost certa.n that within a limited time not only would successful agriculture become impos sible, but the destruction of the great er part of vegetation would follow.
