BY W. J. PETRAIN.
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.

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.

FIRST GAME WD!
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

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

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.

SEATLB, Wash., July IS. (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. Fortier dropped three easy
flies in left field and raised his cap In
answer to the cheer that greeted him
when he finally held on.
There were eight errors in the out
field alone. Seattle's only scores resulted
when Bennett drove the ball over the
fence with one ahead of him and when
in the eighth wjth a man on third, Fortier
drove a long fly to center. The score:

BIRD POLICE OF THE AIR
They Alone Prevent Much Insect
Damage to Crops.
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.
