For eight innings yesterday Portland and Vernon battled In a spectacular 1-to-l affray, but In the ninth a break in the Beavers' defense, coupled with some terrific pinch hitting by the Tigers, gave Hogan his third consecu tive victory this week and clinched the series. Score 4 to 1 It was a distinctly hard game to lose because Higginbotham had pitched. marvelous ball up to the climax. He had been stung for only three hits, two of which, bunched in the third frame in conjunction with a questionable de cision at second by Umpire McCarthy, gave the Vernons the tielng run. Fotr Hits I'pset Hopes, But the ninth inning rally over shadowed the afternoon's joyride. and, when the slugging Tigers consented to let up, their four hits had driven three poisoned javelins through the local hopes. Brashear, the Hogan captain, started the jubilee, with one man out, smglln sharply to right field. Bayless followed with a single to center. Litschi made the second out on an Infield fly and then Burreil. the dark-skinned San Jose lad who has broken up many game this season, hit over second ba! scoring Brashear. This was the winning tally, but Bayless also romped across when Krueger threw over Lindsay's head at third base. Agnew added to th series of sonorous thuds by a doubl into left center bringing in the third and final run. Pitching; Honors Divided. Krueger atoned for his slip by bang' lng out his second hit in the latter portion of the Inning but Brackenridge was In excellent tettie ana tne visit lng defense proved impregnable. Hi glnbotham and Brackenridge allowed seven hits apiece. Inability to take advantage of op portunitles was what cost the Beavers the game for they had men on second and third on numerous occasions. But then, for that matter, so did Vernon and It took sensational fielding by Kappa, Rodgers and Higginbotham to save the score sheet two or three times. Portland made its lone tally in the first Inning and only a break in the luck kept another run from shooting across, for the Beavers drove out three singles besides securing a walk. Chad bourne was on the receiving end of the alibi, finding himself unable to dodge a hurtling drive through short by Lindsay. As a result he was cauea out making the second. Krueger'a Hit Scores Lindsay. Rodgers then walked, putting Lind say on the keystone sack and Krueger's single to center brought Lindsay across the plate, t lsher went out to nosp. Vernon ran in the tleing run In the third inning. With two down Carlisle singled to left field and stole second. From the stand It appeared as though he was clearly out, Rodgers making a neat one hand catch and tag. Carlisle scored from this advanced position on Kane's single to center. From that on to the ninth innin Higginbotham did not allow a hit, and Brackenridge was JuBt about as miserly. Koestner will pitch the final game of the series today, opposing either Hltt or Dollle Gray. The score: Vernon I Portland PORTLAND DJTIELDEE, PANNED FOR POOR START, SHOWS REAL NERVE AND BECOMES BATTING SENSATION OF SEASON. r L "n in. Sv. III'' :w : V 16 s-Tsar. X - R f S &7KS .

Fisher led off with a double in the fourth inning and was sacrificed to third by Ban croft, but there ne died.

Brashear could not account for the er ror charged against him In Friday's game. 1 he bobble occurred In the ninth Inning when somebody forgot to cover second on rmsne's steal. Lindsay, a dead left field hitter, was at bat. so Brsshear could natur ally be expected to cover the second sta tion. Poane was credited with a steal and Brsshear for sn error when he gslloped on around to third. The rules plainly say: "If a base runner advances a base through failure of a baseman to cover a throw, the latter shall be charged with an error and not the man who made the throw. If this hsppens at second base the scorer shsll determine whether the shortstop or second baseman shsll be charged with the error.

San Francisco was defeated largely because of Its own bad work In the box and the hard hitting of Oakland. McCorry. the local pitcher, received much of the blame for the 8 to 0 score, since he allowed eight hits in four Innings efore he was replaced by Harkins, who failed to distinguish himself.

Ml CALLS CHIEFS Coast League Officials Meet on Tuesday. Will NEW AGREEMENT IS UP Hogan Says He Believes Beavers Mill Land In First Division Be fore Long Stelger Will Play With Colts. President Al Baum, of the Pacific Coast Baseball League, has called a special session of the officers and di rectors for Tuesday, July 23, and W. W. McCredle, president of the Port land club, will leave for San Fran cisco tonight ' Neither McCredle nor Hogan, who also received notification, know what Baum has to spring, but it likely is the question of tne new National agreement which has nobbed up again, with the minor leagues squabbling among themselves over the draft schedule. The three class A A leagues Pacific Coast, International -and American As sociation want a fixed price, the same as confirmed at San Antonio, but now the lower minors want a more liberal schedule. The arbitration board met last week at Syracuse, N. T., but evidently did not reach an agreement. The prices desired by the class AA barons are: For class A draft, $1000; for class B, $750; class C, 1600, and class D, $400. s "Happy" Hogan, the able Vernon manager, believes that the Portland Beavers ultimately will land In the first division. Said he last night? "Portland Is the only club which has gained on us during the past couple of months, and McCredle's jump Is something like SO points. That alone is significant. My boys are enjoying a batting bee just now, but I hardly hope for them to continue the present clip.1 Heinle Stelger, ex-Bearer southpaw, will not appear in a Tacoma uniform after all. Although released to the Northwestern Tigers, the popular port slder refused ts report, so, at Nick Williams' behest, was turned over the the Portland Northwestern Colts. s s Bill Speas. Colt outfielder. Is back in Portland convalescing from 4 sick spell. He says Nick can use a twlrler of Steiger's ability to good advantage. Hogan denies San Francisco reports that he has released Pitcher Jimmy Whale. "I don't know where they get that dope,' said he. "You don't suppose I'd trot him away up north to Portland before giving him a release, do you? Whalen has not been pitching because he has some ailment of the throat." Fielder Jones, president of the North western legue. plans a trip to Spo kane a weea from Monday. He has not paid an official visit to the home of the Indians this season, but will take a peek at the Indian-V"u"ar series. Joe Cohn, of Spokane, reports that at tendance is much better than earlier the season. s Jlmmle Toman, who has not been seen in action by Portland fans this season, will umpire the two weeks home stop of the Portland Colts, com mencing a week from tomorrow. "One of the best judges of balls and strikes In the game, declared a Pitts burg writer after Eddie Mensor, ex Portland Colt outfielder, secured four passes In the double header celebrating his first appearance In Pirate garb, s s Buddy Ryan Is playing a regular out field position for Cleveland, although he is not leading off as he was for several days. A Cleveland writer says that Buddy need not worry about his job, as he has made good with the Naps. He is batting .240. Maggart, ex-Oakland outfielder, ts playing a regular outfield position for the Philadelphia Athletics and leading off In the batting order for the world's champions. s Back in the town of Coffeyville, In 1906, the battery for the home team was Gilligan and Finney. Gilligan now Is twirling for Sacrament, while Finney Is one of AI Baum's arbitrators. Finney fined Gilligan 12b the other day. Harry Abies, eccentric Oakland slab' ster, claims . credit for giving Tris Speaker, famous Red Sox outfielder, his first real baseball job. Abies was pitch ing for Dallas, of the Texas League, when Speaker, a farmer youth of that section, approached him with an appeal for assistance in securing a job. Tris aspired to pitch, but when he was landed on for 17 hits and 12 runs in his first game he was ouLof a job for a time, but finally landed with Hous ton, where his stick work was ap preciated. a s Detroit writers are sweet on Oscar Vltt, ex-Seal, as a third basemanr He was tried out in the outfield, and then switched to second, but finally Hughey Jennings placed him at third, where he found himself in his natural posi tion once more. Bunny Pearce, released by Oakland this Spring, has found a home with In dianapolis. The backstop was signed by Louisville, went to Montreal, of the International League, and was just traded to the American Association Club. "Lefty" George, who figured Jn the St. Louis-Cleveland trade, Stovail going to the Browns for the hurler, has been sent back to Toledo by the Naps.

Portland has an lnflelder wearing Pacific Coast League uniform who must have a great deal of sympathy for the fix in which "Lemon" Mar quard, of New Tork. found himself a year or two ago. Bill Lindsay, Beaver third sacker, is the player in mind. Marqifard, It will be recalled, was purchased by the Giants from Indian apolis for $11,000 and much was ex pected of him. But, Just as the fans began to look for another Matheweon, the young southpaw failed.' He proved dismal disappointment and Ten Thousand Dollar Lemon" was about the most polite sobriquet applied to him. This year Marquard justified Mc- G raw's perception by setting a world's record of 19 consecutive victories. Just as Marquard has "come back,' so has Bill Lindsay. One month ago McCredle was so disgusted with the Southerner that he publicly proclaimed his Intentions of shipping him back to Cleveland to be disposed of to some minor league club. Bill was not hit ting, and as Is quite usual was not fielding when base hits were scarce. Work la Consistent. Now. Bill Lindsay is playing remark able ball for Portland. He is among the league's most consistent batsmen. leading the Portland squad with an average around the .320 mark. In ad dition, he is fielding the difficult third base position in excellent style, and the way he is going there isn't a more valuable third sacker in the league. Last Fall, when Lindsay was shipped Westward from New Orleans to fill the vacancy created by Rodgers' In jury, he "burned" up the circuit, to use the vernacular. Consequently he was expected to be a dependable in 1912. And. without a doubt. Manager Mc Credle nursed a well-grounded sus picion all through those trying days this Spring that Bill would "come back," just as he has done. Otherwise Mac would never .-have shoved him In the lineup at frequent Intervals along the highway, as he did all through the first 15 weeks of the plowing. Without a doubt nobody felt the stigma of mediocrity any more than Lindsay himself. A -college graduate, he must have sensed keenly the "pan ning" by the local fans when he failed to live up to expectations. But Bill kept his thoughts to himself and struggled with might and main to put himself Into the best physical condition. ' He showed the nerve that Is real nerve. Lindsay's attitude contrasts sharply with that assumed by one or two oth ers of Mac's fallen Idols. Rodgera Lone Temper. Captain .Rodgers at second base was subjected to even more severe excor iations by the bleacherltes than Lind say, because, as the newly elected cap tain, more was expected of him. But Rodgers went all to piece when the sporting writers. In reviewing the up sets of the season, called attention to the fact that he was not playing up to 1911 form. Rodgers stewed and fretted and wor ried over the reports for weeks and even threatened personal violence. Rodgers, like Lindsay, is now playing good ball, but he would likely show even better form if he would stop to consider that sporting writers are at the ball field to tell what really hap pens, not either unnecessarily to knock or unnecessarily to boost any individ ual player. But to return to Lindsay. Bill prob ably holds the American record for membership In pennant-winning teams within a given period. In four seasons Lindsay has been with five pennant winners. In 1908 he was with Sumpter In the Carolina League, and finished the year with Norfolk in the Virginia League. Both captured first prizes. Doane and Lindsay "Pals." In 1909 he remained with Roanoke, and again the club finished In first place, slumping to second In 1910. Last season Lindsay began with New Or leans, but was shunted out to Portland late in the campaign, at the solicita tion of McCredle. New Orleans won the Southern League pennant and Port land the Pacific Coast League gonfa lon, thus completing the set of five blue ribboners in four seasons. Lindsay was very much surprised last Spring to hear that Walter Doane had been shifted to Portland, for it recalled to him an Incident that oc curred back on the Atlantic Slope In 1909. That Spring Lindsay was coaching the college nine at Guilford College. Greensboro, N. C. Incidentally, al though a professional, he played in right field. Walter Doane, Portland outfielder, was at that time attending Delaware State College, and It so hap pened that Delaware took a jaunt southward to meet the hated rival. The teams appeared upon the college green that fateful afternoon, but, when Lindsay steered his footsteps to the sun field, the visitors put forth a terrific wall, finally refusing to play until the "professional" was excommunicated from the playing area. 'I withdrew, of course, said Lind' say. yesterday, with a laugh, as he reviewed the old days. "We finally won out, anyway. In the ninth inning Dy tne score or z to l. es. I know you did." interjected Doane. a party to the gossiping. "But I'll tell you something you didn't know. Delaware State bad a 'ringer' pitching ror her that day. His name was Gus Slllery and he afterwards twirled in the Connecticut State League." Then both Beaver stars joined In a good, hearty laugh. f asssswswsswswsiiiiiiiLillii l ijitijjuiisiuiiaiissjiiii.u.gL.lutlllulii.iiLilii.lui.,.Jl...i.uuil. . njtus '," i..

Noonan was Especially enthusiastic over tie Wild Woir owned by John Wolff, of Port land.

The Finland, the steamer which con veyed the United States victors to Stockholm, Is due in New Tork July 29. The four men probably will stay in New York a day or two and then leave to gether for Portland by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. No special reception plans are being made for the squad, but the men will be met at the train by a throng of friends and admirers. Clnb Officials Not Dissatisfied. While Hawkins, third in the high hurdles, was the only one of the trio, all sporting the Winged "M" of Multno mah Amateur Athletic Club, to add i point to the United States total, the club officials are not dissatisfied with the results. Bellah, palpably out of condition, dropped out of the pole vault competition at 12 feet Shi Inches, five men topping the bar higher than he did. McClure finished second In bl trial heat of the 1500-meter run, but could do no better than eighth in the finals. In- the pole vault Bellah beat Coyle, who tied with him and Cook for the National championship at Pittsburg last year, but Babcock, the Stockholm win ner, lost to Bellah at the same meet ing. Fred Kelly, the Southern California lad who won the 110-meter high hur dles, registered his second victory over Martin Hawkins at Stockholm, but the men are still tied so far as victories are concerned. Hawkins beat Kelly In two Pacific Coast college conference meets, but lost In the Olympic tryouts. at 15 2-6 seconds, and again in the world's championship at Sweden, when Kelly negotiated the course in 15 1-10 seconds, only 1-10 second behind the world's mark of 15 seconds established at the London Olympiad by Forrest Smlthson, wearing the Multnomah Club colors. History -of 1S08 Recalled. At the 1908 Olympic games at Lon don, Multnomah Club had two entries, although Oregon had three men In the events. Smlthson won the 110-meter hurdles in 15 seconds, and Dan Kelly was second in the broad jump. Gilbert, who tied with Cook for first place in the pole vault, represented Tale, but was an Oregon boy. Southern California enthusiasts are making great preparations to welcome home Fred Kelly, the hurdles victor at Stockholm. A loving cup, purchased by public subscription, will be present ed to him by Mayor Alexander when he alights from the train at Los An geles. Over 1000 people have donated 10-cent pieces for the trophy. Kelly will be the biggest man In the state when he reaches home, and a crowd exceeding any ever gathered to gether to welcome an arrival in Los Angeles will greet the Olympic cham pion. Mother's Love Is Told. Kelly's mother took his victory with remarkable complacency, but behind her words "ould be read love and pride unbounded. "Of course Fred won," she said com posedly when she heard of his victory. "Fred has been winning ever since he was a baby. I think he was the win nlngest baby I ever saw. When he was 14 months old we were proud of his strength, and from the time he started in school he nas been ahead In all lines of athletics he tried. He is also near the top in his classes. Kelly is a student in the University of Southern California. When he won the Olympic tryouts he was generally credited with more luck than ability, and not an expert picked him to win the Olympic competition. However, his record of la 1-10 seconds brands him as a world beater, second only to tbe remarkable Smlthson. Spokane's Hopes for First Place Go Glimmering When Rout Comes.

It was a much deserved victory mr the Colts. They outbatted the Indians more than two to one and while tne ertor column shows a standoff It gives a false impression of the real tacts. Portland outfielded the Indians hy just as big a margin as. they outbatted them. Paul Strand was tiattea pretty hard, but every break of the luck was against him and his teammates played like chumps behind him. Strand Cheered In Defeat. When Cactaln Ostdiek decided to remove the boy wonder o let Zim merman bat. the bleachers gave a rami hand as Strand walked In front of them to the clubhouse. Strand Is not to be extolled for any particularly brilliant pitching, but he assuredly is not to be blamed for today's wallop ing.

Another bad hound got away 'from Cooney. and McDowell, ducking to avoid being hit by a fast shoot, unin tentionally swung his bat on to the ball for a dinky slntrle to right. Two Indian outfielders, Powell and John son, politely bowed to each other when an easy fly dropped safe between thein in the seventh and Williams drove tne run home with a long . double to left. Two singles and Chris Malioney s terrific triple over Johnson s head added two more to the Colts' total In the eighth.

The Indians fined tne oases in this inning with two out, but Cart- wright emulated the mighty Casey ana struck out. The last of the Portland team to morrow for two months, two games being staged at Becreatlon Park, tne first at 2 o clock and tne second im mediately after the first is over, as both teams must catch an early train to the Coast.
