SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. S. (Special.) That the Portland fans hare a rlaht to believe that their team la on the htrh road to the pennant I what l-t of the Callfornlans think of the rare so far as it has progressed. A ma jority of the regulars who frequent Recreation Park do not altogether agree with the confident views of I'anny Lon who argue that the last few weeks will tell the atorr. They .re somewhat afraid that the Seals hare shot tdelr holt and that the race Is between the Bearers and Oaks. As a matter of fact. Long's pitchers have gone hack on him and the team Is not lilt Unc at a clip that would Induce In spiration. It mud he remembered, of course. that tle Seal have been having a long trip on the road and that they may do better work on the home grounds. That Is an axiom that does not always fol low, however, and the lead that the 4reconians have been securing: Is l.okrd upon as Important at this stag, of the proceedings. In fact, after the Seals lost live of the six games to Port land, the fans began to yell "eniauah. Mohlrr's men. who spent Tuesday In San Kranrlsro while en route to Los A tig- les had the'r cry of "hard luck.' They declare that the luck of the came was all against them at Portland and If thtnss had broken anywhere nzht that they would have broken even with the leaders. They are not saying, you understand, that they were j given the worst of the deal but slmply that they cre outluckcd. Of course a lo.-sng team Is l.kely to make some iuch 'xcue'S. iing Know i; at Ms pitchers are not going as well as might be desired, but at ti:e unif time there Is no aay at present to remedy the situat'on.

Portland, of rotirae. will have a hard run on th rosd for the last few weeks, hut Mcfrediee men in the past have slways maintained a fair average away f-om home and that Is why I figure their Ounces ari so good, writing at this date.

Tie story of the so-called riot and t"'lvim m l-rs Angeles la Sunday .pears to have been largely overdrawn. Tie pre account declared that 1 ! riot was so tierce In tile morning gam tr at I mrire hlnncy had to run for his life and make a quick getaway to a e'reetcar to avoid being hurt.

That was all t:ie r.ot there waa and Finney declares most emohatiraliy that he did no running ! save hle lt. as that was not at all necessary.

The Heavers and the Angels meet this afternoon and will also play two more gamea tomorrow, one ilonday morning and the other In the afternoon. Port land ought to win two of the three games before going outh Moml.iy night to play a long w.-rirej with Oakland. Bud Pernoll. the former Portland and Aberdeen pitcher, officiated In his first full game for Detroit yesterday, and won his game against Chicago. The former Grant's Pass lad has shown good enough form to be held by Hugh Jennings right along. Umpire McOreevy ambled back to San Francisco and proceeded to tell the hugs here that Vean Gregg waa a star pitcher. Some of the Bay City bugs might have found it out sooner by Interviewing the Ban Francisco and Oakland players. 'Ben Mitchell says his friend, Harry Mc- Clellan. of Rose-burg, wants to know- how many hrus Larry Mel.an got the last nne ne played with Portland. McLean caught the first game of a double-header nd s-ven Innings of the second and made four hlta In tho first game and three in he second, out of a total of eight times up. Beavers Go South for Two Weeks Tomorrow and If JCvcn Break Is . Landed, orth May Prove to Be Holder of IB 10 Flag. BT W. .7. PKTRAIX. Portland's fandom. rank and file, snd it comprised a goodly majority of the population of this rapidly growing city, is right now In the throe) of a dipease known as "pennantitis." and the epidemic has been .caused by the wonderful per formances of tilt Portland team. Visions of the successes of 1901 and 1908, the two moet recent occasions when thla city has btren able to boast of a base ball pennant as our portion of a season of rooting and strenuous play, right now float most serenely before the eager eyes of the patrons of the sport at the Vaughn-street park. Bvery man, woman and child, who has the least Inclination toward baseball, and. P0 per cent of the American public is said lo ly; afflicted with this "disease." looks forward to the report of each dally game with an eager ness that Is deserving of reward. Of late the fann have been rewarded to such an extent that a sudden slump on the part of the present-time idols would likely raiw a predominance of heart failure, for base ball fans work themselves to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Kntliusinsm Is Urent. Indeed. It la doubtful If greater enthusi asm has ever been displayed toward any other sport. Day after day McCredle'a team has been returned vletor, to the keen delight of the bug:. and to the chagrin and discom fiture of the knockers, which latter, by the way, form a most minute portion of the citizens of this city. Kverybody is rooting for Portland to win. and It la such encouragement that stimulates the play era Into action on the field of play. A baseball team backed up by an en thusiastic crowd of fans at home Is bet ter Inclined to exert Iteolf In tho effort to win game?, and Portland's team Is now doing its utmost to give the fans tho best efforts possible. Tho resultn of the part few weeks of play stamp the representa tlvcs of Portland on the diamond as pen nant pon-tibillties. and a great deal of this is due to the loyal support the boys have received from the home crowd?, for the Oakland fans are among the most rahld "homers' In the league. MctTredle ha aee?mbled together a team that is flawless right now. for tlie only weak apota on the club, two outfielders who were not hitting up to expectations, have commenced slugging in the most ap proved manner. Big Mac likeo to win better than anyone, and the successes of his team nre as pleasing to him as any thing that could posa'bly happen to hie fortunes. SfcCredie Is Heady Manager. As a manager, Walter McCredio 0n8 the must callable in the business. His judgment erf players is the envy of the other magnates', for McCreule seldom picks a "bloomer" in selecting his talent. Year after year since lie has been man ager of the Portland team he lias nent players to the major leagues, and most of them have remained in the fast com pany. "1-arry" McLean. Xllke Mitchell, Bill Sweeney. Pat Donohue. Jack Graney, "Speck" Harkness and Bobby Groom are among the players who have played un der McCredie and later made their marks in tlie big leagues. This eieason McCredie is to lose rour of his star players, as the ClevelanJ Club has taken Vean Gregg, Gus Fisher. J-.u-gene Krapp snd -van Olson for next sea son, and the places of these players will bo filled by men secured for McCredie by Cleveland under an optional agree ment between the two clube. The sale of these four players to Cleve land, as well as the failure of tho An nouncement of any Portland plnyers be ing selected by draft, does not mean that Portland will not lose any more players. One of the remaining players may yet be drafted, and then again, several clubs have put In bids for other members of McCredle's team. No More for Salo Now. However, McCredie announces that he has' no more players for sale unless he can be shown where he will secure good players In return. Big Mac says that if he wins the flag this year he will repeat again next year, and he will take good !'y' wtjf H ' l-''- I fmK' 4i til fx I x l Iff x -,K v t r'i : v v- 4!r f SZ ' m SaTSXBTaZaaTiA;' .f , , fBBTJasTnas.

Tomorrow night tho Portland team leaves for a stay of two weeks in the South. Wednesday the team meets the rival claimant for pennant honors this years Oakland, and this series will be a red-hot affRir. The Beavers may be required to play off 10 games in six days, and If so It will require all their energy and tact to hold the Oaks to an even break, and that is all the fans will ask of them. The pro tested game thrown out by Judge Gra ham and a tie game are likely to be played in the "coming series, which, with the double headers scheduled for Admis sion day, September 9,' and next Sunday, makes a total of 10 games to be crowded Into six days of play.

Dr. A. D. Walker, one of the Multnomah Club billiard devotees, has donated a silver trophy cup to be played for in a tournament to be held this Fall. The entry list will open at the club office Boon anj a large number of billiard players are expected to try for the trophy. As the tournament will be a handicap affair, everybody will have a chance to win it. The main Idea of Dr. Walker in giving the cup was to stimulate Interest in this scientific game among clubmen, and it has already had a de cided effect. Many members, particularly young men just learning billiards. are practicing ardently. In the tournament held last year fur medals present ed by the club there were nearly 100 entries. More are expected in the com ing contest. It is expected that it will take several months to decide the winner. To facilitate tlie running off of the tournament in the present cramped quarters, two rooms will be used for the tournament play. By this method there will be plenty of room around the table for spectators. The Walker trophy Is a long slender silver cup. 14 inches high. Engraved on the frotat Is a winged "M." It Is one of the handsomest Arlxes vet nlaved for in away J department of the club. It has awakened the "rocking-chair athletes." Batting Averages. Player club. O. AB, Snodgrass. N.

How ever, he still has a good margin on the other fellows. Tommy Tennant, the Seal first sack er. Is the only player outside of those drawing pay from JlcCredie, to show a material increase in his hitting per centage. Of the Portlanders to im prove. Buddy Ryan, Pearl Casey and Bill Rapps increased their averages nicely, while Billy Speas and George Ort also hit well. "Big Six" Steen, by getting credit for two victories against San Francisco recently, has boosted his winning per centage till he is within a few points of Jack Lively and Walter Xagle, the leading game-getters of tlie league. Eugene Krapp is also climbing the win column quite speedily, and Vean Gresrg and Tommy Seaton must also be con sidered in picking the leaUins pitcher ot tne league. In figuring out the grand batting averages of the Pacific Coast League players, which means counting every extra base as an additional hit. "Ping" Bodie is the leading slugger of tiie eague. but he Is so only because of the 21 home runs he has bagged thus far this season. Fssher of Portland, Perry of Sacramento and Roy Braslicar of Vernon are well up among the sluggers. Tha averages up to and including the games of August 2S, are as follows: Player and Club. A B. O.
