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. The latter is the Portland
boy whom Van Haltren Is trying out.
and who made such a good showing
against Portland last Thursday.

GQSS LOSES IN FINALS
WICKERSHAM WINS FRESCOTT
CHALLENGE CUP.
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.

could produce a card showing he had
been "held-up," a contribution was In
order, it was the first time a canvass
for subscriptions was ever conducted
here on the "hold-up" plan and it wae
a great success. People entered Into the

ly attendant upon campaigns for sub
scriptions for public enterprises.

BROOKLYN. Sept. 26. 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

NEW YORK, Sept. 26. 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. In the second game Tenney lined

Acting Coroner Mabn empaneled a'jury

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

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

tlnje on It was Athasham's race, and he
won easily in three successive heats.
Time, 2:124, 2:11, 2:12H.
