Pentup resentment of Sacramen- Gto fandom and ball players at the de cisions and demeanor of Umpires Bush and Guthrie broke forth this afternoon In the most bitter riotous anti-umpire "' demonstration that has been known to Sacramento baseball since the days of the Stockton State League team. The Portland Beavers won today's game, 8 in "to 2, but the one-sided score was as ,much the result of the mingled wrath and disgust of the Sacramento Wolves as it was of the effective pitching of Gene Krapp, who for the second time t ; of the series held his opponents to ,-.,four hits. Starting In the second inning with verbal protests, and fanned to fever "'"heat by the defiant approach of TJm .;"pire Bush to the bleachers a few min t.,utes later, and then his close decision i,i at first when he called Jimmy Lewis '""out at first, the demonstration of the ' record-breaking Saturday crowd as ""' sumed such proportions that a riot call was sent in to police headquarters. Police Patrol Bleacbera. The last six innings were played with - delegation of deputy sheriffs seated s.j.on the Sacramento bench and a riot cor don of police patrolling the front of the I. .'....bleachers. An almost continuous ehow "' er of pop bottles, green leirions and ' " oranges and other varieties of ammu nition fell about Umpire Garnet Bush .'throughout the last half of the game, ""and he has at least one bump raised on 'J ,',"tila head as a souvenir of the ovation. ; ;J.' Three times during the game the "'R' ' bleacher fans surged forward, threat . f ening to mob the umpire, and were ' r'only driven back by police. At the -.; close of the game the police got their 'J wires crossed some people are unkind enouBh to say that they had little sympathy for the umpires and a path .,,,was cleared leading off the field from t.Ithe first-base. side, while the umpires " were left to wend, their way In. as j., sumed unconcern to their dressing ; ;;,room off the third-base iside., '""! Mob Surrounds Dresslag-Room, . Seeing the objects of their wrath i ,Jeavlng the grounds without protec o ..tion, upwards of 2000 fans swept across the diamond from the bleachers and y.,- grandstand and presented a solid wall ift. .of cursing and abusive humanity ; , around . the umpires' quarters by the ,-tlnne the police saw their mistake and :! again went to the rescue. Inside the ...(.umpires' dressing-room there was an ominous silence compared with the threatening murmur of the crowd out-?r;"j-Bl'le' with the staccato accompaniment of occasional rocks and bottles that found their way to the frail door that f" "stood between the pursued and tne pur suers. Finally Umpire Guthrie ven tured the opinion that he and his com-:-ipanion could take care of themselves 5 and suggested that they venture forth. r:'"The door was opened a few Inches and x -a small rock bounced off the floor, at j.teusli's feet. Bush-Doesn't Want to Be Hero. "Nix on the hero stuff," said Bush, a "feeling for the. lump on the back of his """head and recalling memories of the time ':he was chased off the Held by an angry crowd of Los Angeles fans. Guthrie looked at the rock, looked at Bush and decided that discretion was "!the better part of valor. About 1000 wjfans had gathered on the T-sTfeet levee, -'"just outside the fence gate through "'"Which the umpires are wont to take "''vitheir departure. Combined efforts of police and Sheriffs deputies could not l"dlsperse the crowd.. "r Only by a clever ruse was further -'"trouble avoided. A space was cleared Jfor &n automobile to drive up to the gate. "Here they come," shouted one TJtTtof the umpires' bodyguard, and the crowd surged up to the gate. But "they i. didn't come." Suddenly the automobile Vtarted for the players' gate, on the other side of the grounds, where the umpires had quietly spirited themselves. Jumping into the automobile, the um pires were driven at a rate well above the speed, limit out the Riverside road, Jaway from the city. Whether or not they returned was not announced. t?. The trouble was started by the de E f clslon of Umpire Bush when he called I I Lewis out at first, although every one J ; else thought him safe, and it continued i I all through the game. Rodfters' Homer Cinches Game. J 1 Portland scored three in the third , ( with a single by Fisher, an error and Rodgers' home run. Then came the riot J j in the third and no more real baseball, I although Portland rolled up its score J I until the total was eight. Sacramento was beaten and helples during the up Ji heaval. Wolverton and" Jimmy Lewis 5 were chased out of the lot by Bush. Si Krapp, for the second time of the ! I week, held the Wolves to four hits, I their two runs being the result of two I j walks to the first men up in the first i inning, these passes being followed by ; ; a sacrifice and Van Buren's double.

ShortstOD Corhan, of the Seals, saved his club from the ignominy of a hitless defeat when he shot a single -over third in the seventh inning today, Los Angeles winning 7 to 0. Roy Crabb was the Nemesis. While he was a trifle ' wild-, issuing five passes, the visitors could not make their advantages count be cause they could not bat him safely. Crabb was in trouble in the sixth when the bases were filled without a hit, but he pulled out with sensational support.

" II "''--'wYiii'naiiiriiiliMS!iir I No COAST TAKES ACTIO! Magnates Said to Have Ruled Portland From Class B. NE CLUB THOUGHT ENOUGH McCredie Admits Officials Discussed Withdrawing Permit for Colts at Secret Meeting One AVeek Ago. That Portland will not have a team the Northwestern League in 1914 and that one other city, possibly Spo- ane, is to be discarded and. the circuit dited down to four clubs, is the highly ensatlonal rumor In baseball circles. Portland's future in the Class B league has been doing an "off again, on again" flop annually every year now lnce 1910, when this city returned to the fold, but, this latest antl-ukase by the Pacific Coast League barons is said to be unequivocal and absolute. According to a report in San Fran cisco, where one of the magnates leaked" prematurely last night, the exco,mmunicatory pronunciamento was passed at the recent meeting of Coast League heads in the California me tropolis. W. W. McCredie, president of the Portland clubs, was not in attendance but he admitted last night that he had heard that the matter had been "dis cussed at length." I am not in position to say whether r not any such resolution was passed," said President McCredie. "I have not received the minutes of the meeting. But, it seems to me that next Winter would have been time enough. I know the Coast League officials attribute our falling off in attendance to the North western League cut-in here, but that is an absurd view. Portland is still a better drawing- franchise, proportionally, than any city In the league." If Portland is barred to the North western Leaguers there will remain only five clubs Seattle, Tacoma, Spo kane and. Victoria and. Vancouver, B. C, thus necessitating either the prun- ng of one of the quintet or the substi tution of some other city for Portland. Everett, Aberdeen, North Yakima and Walla Walla have been clamoring for recognition for two or three years, but those in touch with the situation are more Inclined to the four-club be lief than to the possible continuation of a six-club circuit. Tacoma, Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle are all drawing two-to-one bet ter crowds than Spokane, and if any dropping is to be done, unquestionably Spokane will be the city to suffer. The Spokane franchise has been a drag on the Northwestern magnates all year, as the trip across the mountains entails a big expenditure for transportation. Attendance has been so poor this season that President Joseph P. Cohn retired in midseason a few weeks ago, threw up the sponge to the traction company which owns the park and retired disgusted. F. C. Farr, the new head of baseball affairs in Spokane, was a Portland vis itor early in the week, but it was on 'railroad business," according to Fielder A. Jones, president of the Northwestern ' League, whose head quarters are in this city. In the spotlight of the new develop ments, however there is just a bare possibility that he had a premonition of the impending blow-up and was here trying to put in a plug for a new lease of life.

Toss IEEK JUST SWATS' Prayer for Safety, Following Hit, Is Formula. SYSTEM' NOT CONSIDERED Northwestern League's Leading Bat ter Says He Holds Position by Watching Pitchers and Having Good Idea of Intentions. "Swat the ball fairly on the nose and then offer up a prayer that It goes safe," is the formula of the mighty Meek, the nearly .400 batter of the Vic toria team, which Just passed the week here as the opponents of the Portland Colts. "That is the one rule which I hold infalllible and the one rule neces sary to be a big hitter." Harry Meek does not believe in too much "system" in playing ball. Ty Cobb is said to be a good batter be cause he sizes up every man against him from catcher to the fielder. Cobb is said to know just what the syBtem of each catcher who works behind him is. Meek knows none of that, but holds the position of leading batter of the Northwest League and has held the po sition in various other leagues in the many years he has played, by following the first mentioned rule with just a lit tle more to it, to watch the ball and know before the pitcher lets go Just exactly what to expect, he says. He ascribes part of his success to "second sight." He watches the sphere until the very moment of delivery and, as he has made this a pelnt from his first days of baseball, he can pretty nearly tell what, every twist of the wrist of the facing pitcher means and just where to put the cudgel so as to meet the ball. "Never guess," says Meek. "Always know. There are Just three things which a pitcher can do, to send over a curve, a fast ball or a slow ball. This makes three guesses and more than half the time the man who does not know how to size up pitchers will have tho wrong guess. "I never was a 'first ball" hitter Every pitcher in every league I have ever played knows that and the major ity don't even trouble to put anything on the first ball. When Meek reached Portland Monday he weighed 226 pounds. In 1906 h led the Southern League with .840 weighing 245 pounds. This is one reason why Meek is. nn a success at bunting. He can JortI the ball gently enough when a sacri flee is needed, but "beating it out" Is entirely out of the question. Meek carries the biggest bat in the league. It is 36 inches long and weighs 64 ounces. "I advise all young. sters to get used to a heavy bat," he says. He has six bats, besides the two which accompany him on his trip. It is the special providence of Herreman Rufus Meek, his son, to keep those bats polished so that "Dad" can keap on landing the ball towards the center field bleachers. In 19 years the "daddy of the North western" has made a grand average of .339. He batted .476 against the big league teams curing tne practice sea son of 1908, when he played 30 con. secutive games with Birmingham. MEN'S NORFOLK SUITS. Out they go at less than invoice cost.

BY ROSCOE FAWCETT, Victoria took advantage of one bad inning on Mays yesterday and defeated Portland, 6-4. in a highly exciting en gagement. Portland emphasized the "Ivan" in Kantlehner along about, the lxth frame and Narveson held the locals runless the next four frames. But he had to fan Heilmann in the ninth with the bases full to save his epidermis. Runless rallies, however, are about as useful around the garage as ben zlnesless buggies. While the visitors secured four lusty clouts off Mays in the second inning, the Boise boomerangist, as usual, had, faulty support. Checking down to hard cases, only two of those five tallies in the second inning should have counted. Conroy dropped a ball at the plate and let one run trickle in; he later let a third strike percolate to the sand and another run scored, while Bobby Coltrin gummed up a grounder and that brought the total of physical miscues for the in nine- up to three. Portland- also had a duet of runs handed over during an opulent period, however, so the local compatriot of the hummock need cherish no ill feelings toward his wobbly backing. Mays starred at the bat with three hits. Once again the 1000 spectators were regaled with an embossment of the sin gle umpire system. It appears that in the Northwestern League there exists a custom by which the catchers check hits down foul lines when the ump is behind the pitcher. Yesterday Back stopper Danny Shea had the crowd and Portland players calling for a disin fectant when he dubbed a two-bagger by Guigni into left a foul after Fitz gerald's registration from first base. It was an expensive decision, tempo rarily, and Nick Williams and Kid Mohler emitted 810,000 worth of gut teral expressions in favor of capital punishment. But there was nothing for Ostdiek to do but call it foul. My! myl and all the fiery sputtering went to waste, too (the saddest fea ture of the wrangle), for Hellmann'a double drove in both Fitz and Guigni moment later with Portland's final two tallies. That poke saved Si.ea from the pop-bottle brigade, but safe to wager it converted him to the double umpire system. "I was born here in Portland and would rather lose my third eye and my sixth thumb than rob the native bailiwick of & base hit," asserted Dan ny after the game, although those were not his exact syllables. But Nick Wil liams is still insistent that Harry Tracy was also born in Portland, presumably in the same precinct. At any rate, with fuss, feathers and all, the crowd had a good time, and. if Bancroft's pinch two-bagger In the ninth, Mays' third hit and Gulgnl's walk could but have been metamor phosed into one dinky, tying tally, our" side could have again referred to that once popular phrase, "I should fret. As it Is, the series stands three games apiece.
