Curtis folcman, the University of Ore icon ball tosser. who has blossomed out as a professional with the Taroma Club, booted Biily Staton's bounder In the 11th inning of yesterday's game, which per mitted "Count" Bassey to score from third base with the run that save the home team the decision by a 5-to-4 score. Both teams called upon relief twirlers. Tom Seaton. who started for Portland, was hit hard early in the (tame, and when he showed signs of being wobbly, in the ninth, Casey canned him and in troduced Irving Gough. Kight innings of pitching by Jhonny Hopkins; recently of the Outlaws, during which time he walked seven batsmen and contributed a, balk, was enough for Manager Butler, who trotted "Sorrel-Top" Newlin to the rescue. Hard hitting. Including doubles by Kippert and Hopkins, gave Tacoma a brace of runs In the second, and another was added in the fourth, when Dash wood doubled and scored on Coleman's Infield tap. Portland tied the score up In the sev enth and took the lead in the eighth. Passes to Adams and Bassey and singles by Casey and Staton gave Portland three in the seventh. Seaton's hit. fol lowed by a single by Adams and an er ror by Broadbent, who allowed Stevens' throw to get away from him, was re sponsible for the fourth run scored In the eighth. Seaton weakened in the ninth, when Hopkins and Dashwood singled, and Coleman was hit by a pitched ball, which filled the bases, and Casey derricked Seaton in favor of Gough. Gough fanned Stevens, but Hurley singled to center and Dashwood scored. This tied up the pro ceedings and the game went into extra Innings. Newlin, who went on the mound In the ninth, got away all right until the 11th, when Casey walked and Bassey doubled to the right garden wall. Mullin forced Casey between third and home, but Bas sey negotiated third base while the man ager was being put out. Then came Coleman's boot of Staton's grounder and the game was over. Two games will be played this after noon, tiie first commencing at 2 o'clock and the second game following Imme diately after. The official score of yes terday'a game is as follows: TACOMA.

Jensen was ef fective throughout and held the Cats to three safe hits, one of them a double by Lejuene. Rowland's pitchers are on the sick list and Starkell was sent In for the second time in six days. He was easy picking for Spokane.

FAND0M AT RANDOM WHEN Bill Hurley maae uisi " the ninth, some thought Casey had made a mistake In changing pitchers, but his Judgment won the game just the same. Ike Butler did not see the windup of yesterday's game, for Ike got angry with Carruthers because of a decision at third base, and the umps thought his noise would sound better off the lot. The high wind made the work of the outfielders difficult, for It carried the ball in the most deceptive manner. Hur ley. Bassey and Crocker made some nice catcher despite the handicap. Dicky Breen saw the game from the grandstand yesterday, for he had a lame knee and Is trying to get it into shape to play regularly. Manager Casey played second and was on tlie job all the time. Johnny Hopkins, the little wrong-slder. looks lust as natural as ever when on the mound. He is also just as wild as ever he was, and if it was not for that defect he would be unbeatable. Pearl Casey laced one through the box In the seventh inning that caused sud den action on the part of Umpire Car ruthers. who managed to dodge the batted ball, but fell doing so. "Speck" Harkness came back at that Los Angeles team with blood in his eye, and had sweet revenge on the Angel tribe. Al Carson should do likewise in one of the games today! and perhaps Graney or Garrett will be able to hang it on the Dillonites. J Cal Ewing will surely have to lay off ah umpire now, for two straight wal lopings at the hands of the Vernon gang Is too much, and too much Is plenty down San Francisco way. If Vernon should take two games today, the Cali fornia bughouse will be filled to over flowing. Seattle also was handed a large-sised package by that in-and-out Vancouver bunch. Dug's crew had better be on the move, for Spokane is looming up in the most dangerous manner. Louis .Mahaffey, the former first base man of the Portland champions of 1901. and later an umpire, has decided to lo cate permanently In Portland, and Is to engage In business here.

The wlldness of the Angels con tributed largely to their downfall today at Chutes Park but they were out played at every point and lost the game by a score of 6 to 1. Portland began scoring with the first man up. Cooney bunted safely down the thlrd-base line, the first ball that was pitched in the game; took second when Olson drove a hot one to Delmas, and Howard dropped the ball; went to third on Graney's sacrifice and was "squeezed" over the plate by McCredie. The Angels scored their only run In the second on Delmas' double, Oren dorff's sacrifice and Koestner's triple. In the fourth Delmas threw wild to first, allowing Fisher and Johnson, who got bases on balls,' to score. Speas was caught at the plate in this Inning. Cooney scored again in the sixth on his own single, Olson's single, an er ror by Godwin and Graney's long fly. In the seventh Fisher singled, Johnson was safe at first and Fisher on second.

With all due respect to those en gaged in the piano and music trade, Eilers Piano House begs to announce that it has but one position to main tain. Our methods make costs lowest on worthy goods. We have no time nor inclination to worry over instruments of questionable merit, no inferior make-believes to foist off. It was an innovation when years ago we began to sell pianos as other commodities are sold, supplying the best of everything at the lowest possible price "one price to all" "quick sales, small profits" "money back If purchase here does not prove entirely satisfactory or as repre sented" au innovation that has been and is bound to be successful. No amount of underhand Insinuation and open vilification directed against our establishment and our low prices by dealers who may be sorely pinched by them will induce us to drag our trade down to the level of vulgar newspaper controversy, or wallow in the mire with Individuals seeking that kind of notoriety. If Eilers Piano House were selling Its instruments at the tremendously high .prices others are asking, there would be none of this vicious fault finding on the part of those who are endeavoring to compete with us. If Eilers Piano House instead of dealing with manufacturers direct, shipping direct, etc, had instead to pay a hundred dollars or more per piano to San Francisco jobbing houses, or to other middlemen, as other houses are compelled to do, its prices probably would also be as high as are those elsewhere. Fortunately for the public and also for Eilers Piano House, we possess ad vantages unequaled by those less for tunately situated, and as business men we are shrewd enough to willingly share these advantages with our patrons. Hence Eilers Piano House is in position to sell the very best of pianos for ever so much' less than can others. Hence Eilers Piano House sells more than seventy-five out of every hundred pianos that are sold by the entire music trade In the State of Oregon. The penalty of success Is to be abused by those who lose the race. This has been so since time im memorial, whether It be competition in athletics or sports, or in business. It is so in the piano trade. The jealous outbreaks of our disgruntled compet itors may easily be understood when it is remembered that these little Idle dealers stand day by day only to see dozens and scores of our pianos se cured by us by discriminating buyers, where they In frenzied endeavors at their high prices cannot manage to find a buyer for a single one of their pianos. Is It any wonder then that vituperation and abuse of the most vicious charact'r are resorted to on their part. and by hitting in pinches.

South Carolina Fastest in Class. LEWS. Del., Aug. 28. The battleship South Carolina, finished her official trial runs Friday and experts believe she is the fastest and most economical in coal consumption of all battleships In her class. FEW Periodically these jealous outbreaks assume aspects more than usually vio lent, and during the past few days we are sorry to note that envious and green-eyed competitors have permitted themselves to burst into print employ ing invective and billingsgate beneath the dignity of even the most coarse and vulgar. The reputation of the piano trade la too dear to us to permit such gross of fense to go unnoticed, for when state ments are made that "there are several piano houses in Portland which have no prices for their goods except grossly inflated ones," surely, .In view of the situation as it exists, this statement can only be taken as reflecting upon their own concerns. And again, when a dealer in desper ate disappointment goes so far as to say "that Portland contains more cheap thump - box pianos than any city of twice Its size In the world," it is cer tainly a sad reflection upon the class of goods he himself is compelled to en deavor to foist off upon an unsuspect ing public, for it has been the marvel of the trade for many years, and uni versally conceded, that Eilers Piano House sells and has been selling a larg er percentage of costliest and highest grade pianos than any similar institu tion in the United States. It can be proven by actual figures that if all the dealers in the United States sold so hlsh a percentage of Chlckerings and Webers and Kimball and Hazletons and Deckers and other highest - grade pianos, as does Eiler Piano House, then the capacity of these factories would have to be increased eight or ten-fold. It will, be seen, therefore, that at tempted abuse of Eilers Piano House, printed or verbal, by disgruntled com petitors, is readily summed up as most aggravated case of sour grapes, and nothing can show more emphat ically the truly desperate attempts re sorted to by our would-be competitors in their endeavors to secure an ever so small a portion of tne trade that has been and is being so generously be stowed upon Eilers Piano House. There will be more than 20 carload! of pianos sold by Eilers Piano House, during the month of August. There will not be three carloads sold by all the other dealers In Oregon combined. This certainly tells the story. Let's draw the veil. Please bear this in mind, no big con cern in this day and age can afford to do a mean or little thing. 'Twould be commercial suicide. Eiiers Piano House is an Oregon concern, the only home piano house there is. We have been identified with the growth and devel opment of Oregon for many years. We are not nomads. Our homes are here. We intend that our homes always shall be here. We can't afford to stand for anything but the square deal. Eilers Piano House.
