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.

They declare that the luck of the

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

going as well as might be desired, but
at ti:e unif time there Is no aay at

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

Ounces ari so good, writing at this date.

TWO umpires -would have averted that

off a Ixs Angeles victory until that
club could legitimately win the game.
Dillon's rowdy tactics will not boost the

Had a Portland player pulled that

year.
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

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

to which club 'McCredie Is Indebted for

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

makes a total of 10 games to be crowded

TROPHY TO BE PLAYED TOR
AT MULTNOMAH AMATEUR
ATHLETIC CLUB HANDICAP
BILLIARD TOURNEY, AND
ITS DONOR.
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."

Portland's premier catcher, Gus Fish
er, continues to lead the Pacific Coast
League batsmen, though, like the other
leading- swatsmen, Gus slumped slight
ly in the week ending August 2S. 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.

games of August 2S, are as follows:
