    BEAVERS TO GO
SOUTH TONIGHT
Fans Expect Good Showing
During Three Weeks on
California Fields.
LINE-UP NOW PROPER ONE
Pitching Staff Is In Fine Condition
and Plaers Are Filling Posi
tion to Which They Are
Best Suited.
BY W. J. FETRAIN
For the next three weeks following this
afternoon's double-header between Port
land r.d Francisco McCredle's husky
pennant-chaser will absent themselves
from the home lot. The schedule ar
ranges that they hook up with the Cali
fornia teams In the South, playing each
perflation one week.
Ixs Angelas has had a comparatively
easv time with the other two California
t.ams. and this contingency has given
Ferry's cr-w a neat though not top-heavy
irad. Portland seems to be the only club
In the league which has If on the lead
ers, for Mc-Crcdies lads have won two
thirds of the games they have played
with the Seraphs, while Los Angeles has
an equally good record against the, other
two clubs.
If Pan Francisco and Oakland could
only brace up against Los Angeles as
thev do against Portland, the Angels
lead would be decidedly diminished. The
home STles. concluding this afternoon,
has not been as fruitful of victories as
the hopeful fans had expected, but when
the Injuries siiFt&lned by the various
rpemhers of the team are taken Into
consideration, this Is easily accounted for.
Ti-.on again, the Oakland club came
north with a decidely stronger aggrega
tion than on Its previous visit, which
naturally told against the chances of
Portland's crippled team.
Take Four From Ijcaders.
Despite the crippled condition of the
team when the league leaders visited the
town. Portland hooked four out of the
six games, and but for an unfortunate
combination of rlrcumstances would have
corralled the entire scries. Both the open
ing and the closing contests should have
been Portland victories instead of drsp
ping into the Angel hopper, but the lifi-k
of the game ruled otherwise and the fans
had to be satisfied with four victories.
As a road team the Port;nd bunch
has performed much better than on the
home lot. and as they leave tonight with
the team In fair shape, good news may
be expected from the South.
Manager MeCredle has finally shltfed
his team about so that It now comprises
the favorite lineup of the fans. Manager
MeCredle himself Is occupying the bench
because of illness and Ryan Is playing
the position moS suited to him right
field. The little fellow Is one of the most
conscientious ball players on the team
and Is sensitive to a fault over criticism.
He Is not a third baseman and the game
he puts up at the difficult corner entitles
him to great credit for his able efforts.
As he Is unfamiliar with third position
and can play the outfield with any man
who ever donned a uniform, all are
agreed that McCredie has made a wise
move in sending Ryan to the garden.
Ryan's Throw Great Feat.
The fans who witnessed Friday's game
were treated to a feat performed by Ryan
which has yet to be duplicated by an
outfielder In this league. The wonder
ful throw squarely Into Madden's hands,
whereby a double play was completed,
was a play that set the bugs to gossip
ing. Manager McCredie has a fairly good
arm. but he could not have duplicated
Jack Ryan's throw If he were to try a
hundred times. For that matter neither
Ifildebrand, Beck. Raftery nor Bassey
could have done the trick, and each pos
sesses an excellent whip. Ryan is now
at bis proper station and the success of
the Portland team will be greatly en
iianced If he Is retained In the outfield.
If the Portland manager desires to play
occasionally he might relieve either Bas
sey or Raftery when they suffer a slump
In hitting, such as often happens to thee
best of players.
Ote Johnson is the man for the position
at third base. He understands the method
of playing that position as well as any
tliird-sacker in the league. He may not
be as smooth in outguessing the batters
as Is Jud Smith, but he has not yet ac
quired the experience of the Angel vet
eran. Taking everything Into considera
tion, the team as it has been composed
In the last few days Is the ideal lineup
for the Portland aggregation.
Team Still Is Crippled.
WMIe the boys are lined up in the fa
vorite manner, it must bo admitted that
they are not quite in shape to do them
selves justice, for several of them are
playing under the handicap of injuries
not yet healed. Cooney has a lame an
kle. Casey Is still bothered with a weak
knee, which was Injured some time ago.
Hal Danzig is troubled with his heel,
which was spiked by one of the Oakland
players last week. Ryan has two very
sore hips, brought about by sliding; Into
bases. He was forced to lay off several
games and, were It not for the Illness
of McCredie. lie would have been permit
ted to rest for a week or so.
The club Is now well fortified In ttr-.
Pitching department. Garrett, Groom,
Oraney and Klnsella are working well at
present and this quartet cap be ex
pected to do its share toward assisting
in the climb up the ladder. In addition
when the team returns home from the
Southland. McCredie expects to have a
new twirler named Patrick. This will
give him five slab artists who will help
win games during that fmal five weeks'
stretch on the home lot.
The fans will have an opportunity to
witness the first double-header of the
season this afternoon, and after this
bargain Hay entertainment, they will
have 21 days, as Eleanor Glynn would
say. In which to rest up and prepare for
the grand finish at home.

has appeared at state fairs at Sacra
mento, at district fairs throughout the
southern state and local expositions
through the Sacramento and San Joaquin
Valleys. Among her latest triumphs
were those at the Tulare County fair
and at the Fourth of July celebration
held at Fresno.
Mrs. Zapp says that she is perfectly
confident that her herd will win here.
She has opened negotiations for entries
at the Oregon State Fair at Salem, for
the Interstate Fair at Spokane and will
try to enter the entire herd at the six
livestock ' shows to be held In the
Northwest circuit this Fall. In addi

of Juggles and Floto, both of whom
are fancy performers and have won
every blue ribbon during the past two
seasons In which they have appeared.
Altogether, Mrs. Zapp's entries are
the most notable ones which have been
listed up to date .and will be strong
contenders for the championship of the
Coast.

LONG AUTO TRIPS

Many Portland Parties Arc
Now Spertding Vacations
: Touring Other States.
MANY GO TO TILLAMOOK
Take Convenient and Comfortable
Means of Visiting Hunting and
Fishing Grounds Taximeter
Cabs Generally Adopted.
Thousand-mile trips by automobillsts
no more or a nuveuy now man
was a trip to Cascade Locks a few
years ago. And especially ordinary
are these long trips in the Pacific
Northwest and throughout the West,
where distances are great.
Such Journeys are constantly either
terminating or starting in this city,
and at the present time scores of local
people are touring various parts of the
country in their cars. Several are en
route to California and many are trav
eling in Washington. At least two
parties are en route to Mexico from
this city.
C. E. Runyon is one of the latest to
make the California trip by automo
bile. Accompanied by his wife and her
mother, Mrs. Mary Bishop, he will
leave tomorrow noon for the south in
his new White steamer. He will visit
many California cities on the trip and
several weeks will be spent on the
journey.
Many hunting and outing parties are
already out of the city in their auto
mobiles and others are being planned.
Tillamook is a favorite destination for
many automobillsts, several local par
ties having made the trip to that
county during the past week.
W. F. Culbertson, the Pacific Coast
distributor of Pierce Great Arrow cars,
is in Buffalo getting delivery dates at
the factory. Mr. Culbertson has been
visiting E. C. Bull, the Great Arrow
pity manager, while in Buffalo.
There will probably be more Great
Arrows on the Pacific Coast this year
than there have ever been before," said
Mr. Culbertson. "The money panic hit
the West hard for a little while, but
we're coming back fast. The Great
Arrow Is gaining a great foothold on
the Pacific slope, where It's a case of
hills on the high gear and roads that
are sometimes difficult to negotiate."
Count Nlnegawa, of Japan, an occu
pant of the Haynes tonneau, is making
the trip to study American road condi
tions. Ha is In America to study the
automobile business generally and was
at the Haynes factory, the first Ameri
can factory, when asked to make this
trip. The Count has darkened day by
day since he started and expects to be
black at the finish. He is delighted with
the experience.
There Is an increased demand for
good commercial motor trucks among
wholesale dealers who find It necessary
to deliver large loads daily to outlying
suburban districts. The concerns that
have gone Into the matter thoroughly
have found that the use of the high
grade automobile trucks means both
speed and economy.
The first car to enter the double
transcontinentai endurance run of the
New York Times, which starts August
22. to San Francisco and return. Is the
big six-cylinder Gearless Greyhound,
which paced "Pop" Weston, the famous
walker, into Chicago. John Breyfogle
will drive the car and will be relieved
by E. IL Wilcox and G. Ruhland, who
achieved fame with the big Gearless by
breaking a path through the snow for the
Zust car in the New York-to-Parls race.
Ruhland led the way for the Italian car
from New York to the Mississippi River,
and the Zust people were loud in their
praise of American sportsmanship. -
Arthur B. Watson, formerly chairman
of the tours and runs committee of the
Automobile Club of California and now
a director of the club, has left San Fran
,cisco for a prolonged run in his auto
mobile. Watson will be accompanied by
his brother-in-law, R. H. Pease, Jr.,
and the final destination of the trip is
Portland. The autolsts will make the
trip in a runabout and will follow the
Coast road to Crescent City, passing
through Eureka. From Crescent City
they will start inland to Grants Pass
end follow the San Francisco to Port
land highway for the balance of the
Journey. - iney expect to take about
ten days for the trip, stopping oft
wherever they feel inclined.
S. B. Cobb, of the Standard Box Fac
tory, purchased last week a four-cylinder
40-horse power Peerless car of the
Western Motor Company.
The W. J. Van Schuyver Company has
purchased of the Portland Motor Com
pany a Maxwell car. The machine was
purchased for the use of the company's
salesmen.
Conservative Boston has at last been
cautured by the taxicab Idea. Last
week 60 new taxfeabs were put into
that city by a single firm. There has
been considerable talk of Inaugurating
F1EC0M
POPULAR
this new system of transportation in
Portland, but no definite steps hav
been taken.
For a long time New York. Chicago,
Philadelphia and Washington have
been enjoying the chtap taxicab rates,
but it has remained for William P.
Barnhart. representative of the new
firm, to get the Boston public Interest
ed In this new method of transpor
tation. Under the new system the French
taximeter will be used to estimate the
charges, and it will be Impossible for
the passenger to be overcharged. Fur
thermore, it will make no difference
with the taxicabs wjiether they carry
one or four passengers, the charges for
the vehicle being the same.
For the first half mile the car costs
30 cents 10 cents being added for each
half mile thereafter, and 10 cents for each
six minutes of waiting.

FLORENCE UNDER WATER
Costly Flood Follows Cloudburst In
Colorado.
PUEBLO, Col., Aug. 1. Floods last
night in the vicinity of Florence, caused
by a cloudburst, wreaked great dam
age, causing property loss estimated at
over $100,000, and menacing a number
of lives, although no fatalities are re
ported. A cloudburst which occurred at the
headwaters of Coal Creek, near Flor
ence, caused that small stream to swell'
to the proportions of a torrent, wasnlng
away bridges, impeding the progress
of railroads, flooding houses, and in
some instances carrying them away.
Hundreds of homes were Inundated
In northeast Florence, and a number
of families rendered temporarily home
less. They are being cared for by re
lief agencies.
Much damage was done to truck
gardens and hundreds of horses and
cattle were washed away In Canon
City and Portland, both cities a few
miles from Florence.
In this city the river rose from a
stage of 2.8 feet to 7.4 feet at 1 o'clock
this morning, this being the highest
point. Much debris was washed past
here, and last night and early this
morning there were fears of a flood,
but the river hus receded, until 8
o'clock this morning the stage was
S.4 feet. The rain here lasted only a
few hours, and was not heavy, and
the damage was slight.
Returns Funds to' State.
SALEM, Or.. Aug. 1. Secretary of

the western terminus of the State Port
age Railroad, between The Dalles and
Celllo, on the Columbia, but recently
completed. The extension was made in
order to secure better and more eco

handled by the road, and the last leg
islature appropriated a sufficient'
amount to complete the work. This
contribution, which was forwarded by
