Portland clinched the majority of the frames In the last -home series by de feating: Van Haltren's crew from the mole by the score of 7 to 8. The contest u not as . brilliant as some of the pre vious games from a spectacular point of view, sod was a Portland victory because Kinsella pitched steadier baseball than did Christian of the visiting club. Oakland made a bid for a score in the first Inning, but the boys In white back ing up Kinsella closed down on them with a speedy double play. This retired Van's crew and gave the home guard a chance at bat. Pearl Casey faced Christian as the first man and was promptly passed to first on four that were adjudged bad ones by Umpire Flynn. Cooney attempted to sac rifice, but Instead struck out. Christian then contributed a wild pitch, which sent Casey to second, and when Johnson banged - a safety to left -Casey trotted home. Heitmuller opened the secondly beat ing out an Infield tap. Hogan walked and Oakland assumed a threatening at titude. Miller fanned, and Smith smashed . one that looked good for several bases. The ball sailed toward right garden, but luckily for Portland Hal Danxig has an extraordinary reach, and when he leaped In the air and pulled down Smith's drive It was the easiest thing In the world for him to complete an unassisted double play by tapping first base before Hogan could get back. Hal was given the real Clad hand for the feat. McCredie opened the second with an out at first Bassey was passed, and Madden was safe on Hogan's error. Kin sella rapped a sharp hit to right which filled the bases. Truesdale tossed Casey's squeeze play to La Longe too late to catch Bassey and all hands were safe. A pass to Cooney forced Madden over, and When Johnson bounced one off Ho gan's shins, Kinsella and Casey swelled Portland's total for the Inning to four. In the fourth Madden drove one through the Infield which also eluded the grap plers of Mr. Cook In left field, and be fore it was finally retrieved. Tom was perched on third. Kinsella fanned, and while Cusy was working Christian for another freer "ticket the Oakland slabster contributed his second wild pitch and Madden ambled home. Truesdale beat out an infield tap in the sixth and came all the way - home on Heltmuller's double to the right garden wall. Helney was left because Miller and Hogan were unable to solve Kinsy's delivery at that time. The other runs of the visitors were due to Casey's error in the eighth. Pearl messed up Cook's grounder long enough to permit the batter to reach first. Trues dale filed to Danzig, and Van Haltren was out at first, advancing Truesdale to second. Heitmuller walked, - and when Hogan loosened a plank near the flag pole Truesdale and Heitmuller ambled home. Hogan also tried to score when the toss from the outfield went past Mad den, but Tom recovered the ball quickly and threw to Kinsella, putting: out Ho gan at the. register. Madden'a single. Klnsclla's sacrifice- and Cooney's safety to right gave Portland another run In the eighth. Two frames will be played this after noon. The Orst game will begin at 2 o'clock and Jack Graney will oppose Slim Nelson. The second game will be a battle between Bobby Groom and Har ry Gardner.

Miss Fording Is Victor in Ladles' Singles at Irvington, Defeat ing Mrs. Xorthup. Brandt H. Wlckersham defeated Walter A. Goss In the finals of the men's cham pionship singles In the Irvington Tennis Club annual tournament yesterday, and thereby gained possession of the C. H. Prescott perpetual challenge trophy for one year. Wlckersham played a great game, and after he had won the first set from his clever opponent, his admirers were sure of his eventual victory. How ever. Goss gave him a splendid struggle in the second set. and only lost it by a 7-5 score because he failed to master his backhand stroke with his usual accuracy. The scores in the three seta were 6-3. 7-4 and 6-2. The finals in the ladles' singles were equally as exciting. Mrs. Northup, who lost eventually to Miss Fording, succeeded In winning the first set from her clever opponent, and thereby gains the distinc tion of being the only one to win a set from Miss Fording during the tournament After playing such a splendid game In the first set, Mrs. Northup was unable suc cessfully to combat against the rapid fire lobbing game put up by Miss Fording, and the latter took the next two seta by scores of 6-2 and 6-3. Last night, at the informal hop given by the Irvington Tennis Club. President J. F. Hamilton presented the winners with their trophies. Mr. Wlckersham was tendered the Prescott trophy, and Miss Fording re ceived the Irvington Club's handsome cup. Yesterday's games end the tennis season for this year, and racquets and nets will be laid away until next season. FINDS DIVORCE ON RECORD San Francisco Law Clerk Gathers Evidence for Mrs. Dunphy. HTLLSBORO, Or., Sept. 26. (Special.) A clerk from Judge Slack's San Fran cisco law office arrived today to procure a transcript of the divorce proceedings In, the case of Edith Silvestone vs. Julius Silvestone, the Portland attorney, from whom she was divorced In 1898. He found the decree regular, and duly signed by Judge T. A. McBride, the papers being in the Judgment docket. Judge Slack's representative stated that Dunphy, the husband of gllvestone's divorced wife, is worth nearly 8500.000, although Dunphy claims he is worth but about 8200,000. Mrs. Silvestone subsequent ly married Dunphy, and recently pro cured a divorce from the California capitalist, and secured an alimony judg ment of JfiO.OOO. It was to evade Im mediate payment of this judgment that Dunphy entered the defense of no divorce and asked to have the case reopened. Dunphy's error in this regard was due to the fact that he had a Portland at torney look up the Silvestone divorce suit and he found no such case of record in the Multnomah Courthouse. Although Judge McBride signed the de cree Slack'i representative will visit him tomorrow with the view of having him verify his signature. The papers will be taken to the San Francisco court as an exhibit and defense to .Dunphy's latest move. HOLD-UP DAY . IN ALBANY Women Collect for Public- Library. Men Tleld Gracefully. ALBANY.

Every one of the 12,000 people who witnessed the two games played today between the Chicago and Brooklyn teams was Impressed with the clean-cut work of the world's cham pions. Manager Captain Chance selected Reulbach to pitch the first game, with Kllng behind the bat. That he made no miBtake in his choice was fully proven by the 6-to-0 shut-out scored by Reulbach, and Chance sent the same battery back to work in the second game. Reulbach. did not seem to be a bit tired. He played his position so effectively that a 3-to-0 shut-out was the result.

Steadied by Mathewson's strong right arm, the New York team today atoned In part for yesterday's double-header defeat by landing a double-header victory from Cincinnati, the scores being 6 to 2 and S to 1. The 32.000 spectators who had followed the plays with great enthusiasm left the field at the close convinced that New York can get the pennant, for the complete reversal of its unattractive form of yesterday seemed to indicate that Manager Mc Graw was right when he expressed the opinion this afternoon, that the setback resulting from putting In the box of new pitchers would be easily overcome. , But Chicago's duplication of her double victory with Brooklyn means that New York must put up a high grade of baseball In the remaining 11 games It has to play. Chicago has but six games mora to play before the end of the season. Mathewson's pitching was the fea ture of the first game. There was never any doubt what the result would be.

FAVORITES LOSE IN FINAL RACES Mona Wilkes Takes Pace From Leland Onward, Setting - , Track Record. 4 ATHASHAM IN 2:10 TROT Royal Ambush, Picked as Victor, Is Defeated in Every Heat Country Club Events Hold Interest .of Big Crowd. ; Establishing a new record for the speedy track at the Country Club, Mona Wilkes, the sprinting Demonlo mare with Chadbourne up, won the great 2:06 pac ing Tace yesterday at the Pacific National Show In three successive heats. Leland Onward, the prima favorite, fin ished second, while the erratic Delilah barely saved- herself from being dis tanced, though the mare succeeded in landing the tertiary coin. It was a great rSce, though the Wilkes mare was never forced to exert herself. Onward's regular- driver was. not up, and it was only after he had been . defeated In the two first heats that his owner sought the skilful hand of Ed McGuire in the hope of averting the defeat of his great stal lion. It was too late, however, for, even with McGuire up, the mare easily beat her, adversary. Wins in -Three Straight - Another strong favorite was defeated in the second race, the 2:10 trotting event that was wjn handily by the bay horse, Athasham. Royal Ambush wae the' win ner, according to the dopesters, but net for a moment after the Held appeared on the track was he a formidable op ponent Athasham won In one, two three order. Delia Derby had little difficulty in land ing first money in the 2:13 trotting event for the consolation purse. Helen Dare started out like a winner, but the Derby mare easily won after the first heat in the most tiresome race of the entire week. In the spectacular galloping event of one mile and 50 yards the bay mare, Melar, fooled the crowd by winning eas ily. There was a field of six and Birdie P had been given out as the" winner. In the boys' pony race of a quarter of a mile the get-away was decidedly unsat isfactory and many of the lads wailed to have an even break. As a result half of the horses in a field of eight ran away from the other half, which took the flag after the first consignment of gallopers had crossed the wire. So two of the boys, mounts of the leading ponies of the two detachments, were given awards. Biggest Card of Week. It was the biggest racing card of the week and thousands witnessed the var ious events. Even at dusk, when the final heat of the 2:13 trot was run, hun dreds lingered to see the finish, reluctant to leave until there was nothing more to see.. Grandstand and bleachers were well filled and every race caused a burst of enthusiasm from the crowd. There were only three entries in the big pacing race. But even with so small a field they - had considerable difficulty in getting away, for Delilah misbehaved herself at every break un til the word was given. But when it was given she was a length to the bad, Mona Wilkes leading with Onward half a length behind. The Wilkes mare had increased her lead to two lengths at the quarter, with Delilah far in the rear, recovering from a bad break. They held the same position at the half, with Delilah gaining rap idly on, the leaders. It was the same at the three-quarters, but in the stretch Leland Onward made a great try for first honors, falling, however. and finishing two lengths behind Mona Wilkes. It is said the Wilkes mare was held in to prevent Delilah from being distanced. Time, 2:06 1-4. It was an even break in the second heat though Delilah again broke be fore the quarter pole was reached. At that point Wilkes led by half a length. which was quickly eliminated by Le land Onward, and it was a pretty neck-and-neck race over the back stretch to the half. The half-mile, by the way, was traveled In 1:01. There the mare went to the front and loafed a portion of the distance, winning by three lengths from Onward. Time, 2:04 3-4. This is the track record, but the mare could undoubtedly have low? ered It In this heat New Driver Also Fails. Just before the third heat It was an nounced that the owner of Leland On ward had requested lucky Ed McGuire to drive his horse. McGuire, Incident ally, was the biggest winenr of the week, having made some of the most remarkable drives ever seen In Port land. The crowd seemed Immensely pleased, and cheered lustily as the stallion took the lead In the third heat. McGuire drove him for all he was worth, but the mare kept relentlessly at his heels and pressed him so hard that he was finally at the mercy of the mare. He led by two lengths at the quarter, and held the same position at the half. As they turned into the stretch the mare evened things up and it was- evident that the race was hers. She passed the leader and went towards the wire far in the lead, winning by eix lengths. Time, 2:06. Athasham took the lead m the first heat of the 2:10 trot and after the first half mile had been trotted hie supremacy was never questioned. Royal Ambush stayed neck and neck with h'm until the half, and then went up In the air. From that tlnje on It was Athasham's race, and he won easily in three successive heats. Time, 2:124, 2:11, 2:12H. Delia Derby Wins Trot. Delia Derby showed up as a disappoint ment in the first heat of the 2:14 trot, for she finished third, behind Helen Dare and Satin Royal. But in the next heat she set the pace and maintained a good lead until past the wire. She repeated the performance in the next two heats. Time, 2:12, 2:12, 2:14, 2:16. Melar, an outsider, ran, away from a field of six in the galloping race of a mile and 50 yards. Time, 1:4434. r John Caldwell, J. C. Klrkpatrick's swell trotting horse, failed to lower the Pacific Coast trotting record. Although paced, he made the mile in only 2:09. College Maid, the guideless pacer, made her last appearance on a Northwest track yesterday afternoon and went the mile In 2:09H- The crowd, however, which has never grown tired of her perform ances, was delighted and cheered the mare during the entire Journey.
