BT JAMBS H. CASSELL.
Playing the off thelr fet ,n
sensational tenth-Inning rally the
Coin took the slsth tram of the first
horn series of the Northwestern
Liu season. S to 7. yesterday after
noon. The victory made the score four
games to two for the week and Inci
dentally hoisted the frolicsome equlnes
from third to flrat place In the per
centage column.
Victoria won the game In the fourth,
clinched It In the fifth, won It again
tn the tenth, and then took the count
In the last half of the extra round,
which removed all chance of taking
the series from the Portlandera. Dur
ing the 1 stansaa of baseball poetry,
the longest of the Fielder Jones circuit
at Vaughn-street Park, rhere were
many false lines, th Colt admirers un
dergoing heart-breaking periods caused
chiefly by the erratic Last ley and the
Pee hive bussing with Indignation at
the way the Colts kicked "Sir Rich
ard" Kaufman.
Speed Marvel Remap Haas.
Withholding all that preceded the
extra Inning. Fries tossed the bout to
the Bees In that period on a wild
heave to first which sent "Dad" Meek
around to third. The speed marvel
managed to romp home on a single and
the score was 7 to s. But while Fries
was responsible for the Bee lead which
sent fandom scurrying for th cars, he
wss also responsible for the poke
which ended the contest. With two
down and hop practically gone, Mn
sor. the greatest little waiter In the
circuit, took first on four wide ones
and then, being the fastest man In
the league as well, atol second and
scored a moment later on Speas hit to
left. Ppeas. not to be outdone tn the
purloining line, took second on a simi
lar move and then Fries lined one over
Rawltngs for the argument-convlneer.
Frank Kastley was a mighty lucky
individual to get away with the swat
test, but his wlldness and pervlousness
to the -wreckers" was exceeded by the
absence of "stuff" on Kaufman's of
ferings. The 1 hits which fattened
Colt batting averages tell th tal of
the Bee downfall, while seven walks
and 1 hits summarize the "why" of
seven Canuck tallies.
Faaa Kept K.dge.
Aside from the heavy clouting and
nlp-and-tuck scramble for tallies which
kept the fans on edge during the bout,
which did not end until after the mill
whistle sent the boys home, th Colts
ftgured In three double plays, with
Mensor pulling off a double unassisted.
Another feature was the protest reg
istered bv Nick William In th tenth
Inning. Meek singled sharply to right
but was so slow getting down Fries
plotted to stop him. The peg was
wide, however, and thp ball Invaded
the Be bench. I'mplr Moran sent
Meek to third, under the two-base rule
for Interference. Then Nick registered
a protest, holding that Meek would
have been out at first on a good toss,
thus giving him only first and second
on the play. Owing to th shortness
of the distance from the bench to the
field it la possible thst the rule will
be made to read one extra base here
after. Rm Get Fear la Seeoad.
The I'.ees scored four runs in the sec
ond Inning, nine men facing Kastley.
Meek, the first man up. doubled to cen
ter and Merrttt filed out to the same
locality. Then Kastley passed Keller
and Brennan. and Rawllngs. the next
man up, singled to center. In his ea
gerness to nab the sphere and toss to
the plate. Speaa missed the ball and
only recovered It in time to peg Raw
l.rtgs out at thlrJ. after three men had
scored. Kaufman hit safely before
th excitement was over, and Stadllle
was passed. Adams registered the
fourth hit of the Inning, scoring Kauf
man. With one gone In the fifth Kaatley
passed Adams. Kennedy hit to right
and Meek was purposely walked, clog
ging the paths. Merrltt. ahoved In as
a substitute for ths Injured Lou Nor
dyke. singled past Coltrln. scoring
Adams and Kennedy. The final Bee
tally came In the tenth when Meek
singled, took second on Fries error,
third on the interference, and scored
on Keller's single.
The Colt tallies were accumulated In
five rounds. In the second, strait's
single. Williams- triple and Harris'
sacriflo fly scored two. In th third
S perns' double a d Keller's wild beava
accounted for the third. In th sixth
a single, double and a triple scored
another duet. In the eighth th score
was tied when Coltrln. Kastley and
Speaa singled. The story of the finale

BT ROCOE FAWCETT.
"Lou Nordyke Is th highest priced
minor leaguer In captivity." said a
wellknown baseoall ownor recently,
commenting on the switch of the for
mer Spokane first base vetsran to th
management of the Victoria Club, in
the Northwestern League.
And "Dyke." In checking up his
monthly emolument for the paat aev
eral yeara. was foroed to admit a day
or two ago. that baseball ha been a
profitable livelihood for him. Indeed.
This Fall Lou will clear up the re
maining morsel of Indebtedness on a
11-acre apple ranch near Wenatchee.
Wash., valued at 12500 per acre and
then, year aftr yar. h expect to
harvest close to (10.000 worth of Pip
pins. And all from baseball. Lou paid 1760
per acre for his property five years
ago. so that's making money at a fair
ly rapid clip.
Nordyke and Nick Wtlllsms, the
rival managers who have been furnish
ing the baseball attractions at the
local ball orchard during the past
week.' both beguiv their diamond ca
reers with the San Francisco Club,
Nick having been at the University of
California about the time Nordyke first
broke into the game.
Both Are Well Liked.
In many respects the Victoria and
Portland Cblt managers are very much
alike. Both are flrat basemen, who
started out In other positions, both ar
on their second season of management,
and doubtless no two more evenly
tempered or more rightfully wor
shipped players ever set foot upon th
sward. Managing a ball team signi
fies call downs Innumerable, but Wil
liams' and Nordyke'a men swear- by
them and alwaya will aa long aa they
are in the game.
Nordyke's progress down th grassy
highway of baseball reads lik this:
1901- 1902 San Francisco.
1903 Spokane.
1904- 1905 Tacoma.
1906 St. Louis Americans, St. Paul.
X907 St. Paul under Ed. Ashenback.
1902- 1909 Vancouver and Spokane.
(Manager Vancouver).
1910-1911 Spokane.
1912 Victoria. (Manager).
I nlared for San Francisco thst
first year, for 1100 a
month." said
1... rloht "And. while that
doesn't make me appear Ilk a high
priced star, I guess I was about the
best paid man on Henry Marna ciuo.
Pete Lohman recommended me to Har
ris and I played the first season aa an
outfielder. ,
Two Twlrlera Worn Rlbboa.
IWk' there In 1901 and 1902 we
didn't think of having six and eight
men on a pitching atari, "e won i
pennant In 1901 in the outlaw circuit
with two twlrlers, Jimmy Whalen. now
with Vernon, and Ham Iberg. And we
never took our pitchers out," added
Lou.
Nordyke has played with a great
many Coast League stars In his con
nection with the game. He was with
Umpire Hildebrand at San Francisco
and with Casey at Tacoma. In fact,
Casey argues that Nordyke would nev
er have gone to the big leagues had
not his wild throws given Lou a chance
to show what a wizard be was In scoop
ing them out of the dirt. Mike Lynch
and Truck Egan were also members of
the famous Tacoma slugging organisa
tion which captured three half-season
pennants In four attempts.
Vaacouver Piloted la 1908.
Nordyke's first managerial experi
ence was in guiding a bunch of young
sters to the pennant at Vancouver in
1908. Lou then had Sugden and Arbo
gaat receiving; George Engle, Ed.
Krlckson. Rusty Hall. Dell Paddock
and Dell, pitchers; himself on first;
Qulgley, second; Mundorff, short; Sny
der, third, and Flanagan, Ham Hyatt
and Donovan. In th outfield.
Flanagan hit .865 that season he
afterwards slumped to nil and Ham
Hyatt. 325, these two and Nordyke, to
gether with some good pitching, being
responsible for the gonfalon flaunting
in a Canadian breeze.
Nordyke Alwaya a Hitter.
Nordyke has always been a great
hitter and a wonderful run getter. He
waa lead-off man with San Francisco
but for the past several seasons has
invariably been stationed In the clean
up position on th batting order. This
year he haa assigned Meek, the Honus
Wagner of the minors, to the fourth
niche, but follows right behind Meek.
In the Seattle series a week ago.
Barry'a pitchers intentionally passed
Meek on four different occaslona and
to show his good Intentions. Nordyke
hit safely three of the four times.
In 1910 the Dutchman led the North
western League in batting and sports

season he hit .818. stole 34 bases, one
for each year of his life, and led the
league In sacrificing, with 39 to hfs
credit, which ranks him as about the
most valuable all-around player In the
Class B circuit.
It is not to be wondered that Nor
dyke has been In a position to demand
exorbitant salaries and furthermore to
have his demands fulfilled. As a play
er on the Spokane Club for the past
two years and one-half. Nordyke has
dragged down approximately 8350 per
month. He Is getting more than his
Spokane salary for managing the Bee's.
"A broken leg Kept me oui oi
hi.- inrie" remarked Lou. when
queried on his short stay with the St.
I-ouis Americans during mcAieera
leadership in 1906. "Mac sent me up
to St. Paul temporarily while he dis
posed of Tom Jones but when I broke
my leg at St. I'aui ne oopea me oui
through with my days of usefulness."
Even within the paat three or four
seasons, however. Nordyke has been
the recipient of numerous offers from
major managers. Lou has turned them
down because of salary and because
his work would take him too rar from
his ranch. Wolverton-wanted him at

NoroyKe ooes not ugure r.is
aggregation as of champlonsnip cali
ber and says he w!ll be liiKhly pleased
to finish In the first division, for
practically all of his games are sched
uled for foreign diamonds. Nordyke
haa a good pitching staff, but Is weak
on veteran players and lacking Ts
peed.
"I was lucky In winning- a pennant
at Vancouver but 1 don't look to see

spot," he sagely remarks.

The first game of the series was a

The afternoon contest was a nine

Northwestern Umpire Says He
"Found" Wee Willie.
CHANCE GIVEN BACK IN '92
Augio Declares Hig I-eague Man
Was Taken From Semi-Pro
ltiinks When Indicator
Handler Was Only 18.
Augustine Moran, better known to
Portland fans as Augie Moran, Fielder
Jones' indicator man of the mighty
right arm swing, poses as the "discov
erer" o "Wee Willie" Keeler, one of
the big league twinklers from 1S94 un
til a few years ago. Augie says that
he took Keeler out of the New York
semi-pro ranks in 1892, giving him his
chance, of which he so ably took ad
vantage. "It was back in 1892. when I was
only 18 years old. the youngest man
on the Binghamton team of the East
ern League, and during my first year
in professional baseball that 1 had
the chance to get Keeler a job," chir
ruped Augie in a fanning bee preced
ing the game the other day. "John
Raney, our third baseman, broke his
leg, and Manager Frank Leonard
asked every man of the club to sug
gest a substitute. As the youngest
on the squad I was approached last,
but luckily for the club, I was the only
man to name the player. I mentioned

with Pueblo in the Western League,
where he quit in 1901 on account of a
bad pegging arm. He was known as
a fast man In the' gardens and on the
bags, and always hit near the .3U0
mark.
Moran'a Proud Roast Out.
As an umpire it Is Moran's proud
boast that he went for five straight
seasons without missing an assignment,
one of the best umplrioal records. He
first handled the indicator in the
Western League in 1902. and went to
the National circuit for the seasons
of 1903-6, Inclusive. In 1906 and 1907
he worked in the Eastern, then
switched to the Southern League for
two years.
In 1910 he was recalled to the Na
tional, shunted back to the Southern
in 1911, and this year, when Fielder
Jones made him an offer, was glad to
get away from the bad Southern cli
mate for the Northwest. He likes the
country and the league and predicts a
successful season.
"The fans out here do not seem to
like the system of using only one arm.
and that for strikes, but that is the
way they umpire in the major leagues
as well as the big minor Eastern cir
cuits," says Augie, apropos the howl
which went up last Monday at his fail
ure to swing both arms. "After all. it
is the best way, for the fans know that
when the arm la not raised a ball has
been called, and there is no chance for
the umpire to make a mistake in the
arm-"

rlck O'Kourke. in regard to Pacramento
taking the series from Portland proved
false today. Sacramento now has one
hope, it may break even .with the vis
itors, but it cannot get the advantage.
All this hsppens because the Beavers
annexed the game today, the score
being 3 to 2.
It was another of those close, heart
rending games such as the two teams
have been supplying the last four days.
And nine out of every ten of the Sacra
mento fans will swear tonight that
their team was robbed of victory, the
charge of robbery being equally di
vided between McGreevy and Mc
Carthy. The two men came in for much roast
ing throughout the game and once
some hoodlum hurled an over ripe or
ange from the bleachers and MeGree
vy's coat was considerably spattered.
McGreevy got In wrong with the fans
on a close decision at first, the deci
sion being the third out and preventing
a man scoring from third.
McCarthy came in for his share of
the fun when he failed to call a very
evident balk on Klawltter. He was ex
cusable, however, for Miller, who was
at bat was standing on the base at
the time and If Klawltter had heaved
he would have necessarily made Mil
ler a target.
But laying aside the umpires, the
Senators would have won if luck had
once broken their way. They got 11
hits off Klawltter and two of them
were home runs. Twice the first man
up started off with a safe bingle both
ttmes the chance being nipped with a
double play. Bancroft waa the cul
prit who made possible these doubles,
his playing throughout being of the
sensational variety.
The Beavers were compelled to work
for their runs. With two down in the
first inning, Rogers doubled and came
home on Krueger's safety. Lindsay got
a two-bagger in the second, but died
trxlng to steal third.
The two runs that cinched the game
for the visitors were gathered in the
fourth inning. Rogers gained life on
O'Kourke's error, Krueger flew out
and Rapps singled. Rodgers going to
third. Rapps proceeded to stead sec
ond and the two runners came home
when Doane sent a lively grounder
Into left field.
That ended, the run-getting. Arrel
lanes was benched at the start of the
sixth Inning and Williams sent In Ar
rellanes who had little on the ball and
waa keeping the fielders working all
the time.
When Miller rapped his home run
the fans responded and gave him a
silver shower. The money market
seemed to have collapsed three innings
later when O'Rourke piled the ball
over the fence, for there was nary a
cent thrown to .Joseph.
An X-ray examination was made to
day of Butler's injured arm. It showed
that the bone was not broken, but the
muscles of the elbow are badly bruised
and Dr. Fay, who is attending him,
says it will be a week or two before
Butler will be able to get back In the
game.
Rodgers will be the only man on
either team to better his batting av
erage this week unless there come a
multitude of hits tomorrow.
Today's victory made two for Kla
wltter for this week. Twice the Bea
vers tried to pull over a double steal,
but both times the effort failed. Doane
was the victim at the plate, the first
time and Howley was nabbed the sec
ond time. Score:
