Portland went Into the ninth a 6-4 favorite, and then, amidst scenes of wildest excitement, Venice staged a Garrison finish, scoring; four runs in the last Inning- off Higa-inbotham and James, and winning:. S to 6. McCredie's machine sprung- weak nesses la what have been considered Its strongest sections In the box and In the middle field. Not only did the fighting; Tigers pound Higgrln botham from the mound, but the tab bies kept on thumping big Bill James And that wasn't all. Chet Chadbourne obligingly inserted a mlscue in the midst of the uproar and before Chad could go back to the fence and relay Carlisle's single In to his compatriots three men. Includ ing Carlisle, had crossed the plate. Chad Kail, to Hit. Chad tried to take Carlisle's line drive on the dead run, hoping to kill McDonnell off at the plate with the winning run. but the ball got by him. Chadbourne doesn't flounder often In his illustrious campaigning, but he had an off day all around yesterday. Inci dentally Chad failed to secure a hit and broke up his record-smashing series of 18 consecutive games of batting. Happy Hogan enjoyed a great hulla balo after the nlnth-lnnlng rally. But you can bet a nickel against a million that the scrappy Venice manager expe rienced one of the most : disagreeable afternoons of his bright young life In the winning. Portland not only pounded our old friend, Elmer Koestner. off the mound again in one inning, under an avalanche of four runs, but the Mac km en likewise put the skids under Roy Hltt. In fact, Hogan's pitchers had almost a quorum in the statistics before the milling finally wound up. Griffin relieved Hltt in the eighth, and as he gave way to a pinch hitter in the ninth, Southpaw Raleigh fin ished. Rollcall, therefore, showed four of the eight in the lineup at sundry times. Likewise It looked like fare well to Raleigh in the ninth when Speas and Rodgers started off with singles, but Raleigh tightened and came out all right. Simultaneously. 3800 fans filed silently from the sepulchre. Terrific swatting by Johnny Kane, adgers and Hlgglnbotham featured. K-ne amassed three of the Tigers' r.l. hits; Rodgers and Hlgglnbotham three apiece of 11 for the Mackmen. Umpires Bush and Guthrie umpired a good game of ball, but, like the men who built the palace and forgot to put a bathroom In It. the arbiters made one mental bobble and It cost Bill Rodgers 72 packages of the weed that Sir Walter Raleigh lost his head over. The umps failed to note an inquisi tive fan perched on the right-field balcony, and. when Rodgers drove a home run up on the runway. Dickey Bayless persuaded said "two-bit" spec tator to touch the ball. Under ground rules that forced Rodgers to retrace his steps to second base and Bill lost a home run. This freaky seventh-Inning episode fortunately didn't affect the final result, for Rodgers scored a moment later on singles by Lindsay and Doane. but It gave the fans a lot to buzs about. Bearers Score Four la First. Concerning details, Portland scored four runs off Koestner in the first frame: Venice came back with two In the third off Hig: Portland tacked on another off Griffin In the seventh; Venice gnawed two more off Hlggln botham's shoots In the eighth on walk and hits by Kane and Bayless. The Tiger four In the ninth have already been chronicled, but here's more light on tl.e shadows: O'Rourko opened with a single to center and caused McCredie to der rick Hlgglnbotham On the Jump. Lltechl filed to Lindsay, making one out, but James, who had relieved Hlg, couldn't stand prosperity and McDonnell was walked. A single through Rodgers by Klliott scored O'Rourke with the tying run. Hogan at this Juncture sent Ster ret up to bat for Griffin, but the young Princeton collegian filed to right for the second out. Fans began to breathe easier. James appeared to have a lot of stuff on the ball. But the stuff was apparently to the liking of Carlisle, for he singled to center field on a line. This was the hit Chadbourne tried to scoop on the run. hoping to catch McDonnell at the plate. The ball trickled through Chad's legs to the fence and three runs sewed up the matlneo.

AMERICAN LEAGUE. Washington 6, St. Louis 3. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. By win ning today, while .Cleveland was losing, Washington, brought about a tie for second Place in the American League. Each club has won 82 and lost 61 games and has a percentage of .573. The teams have been battling for the posi tion for the greater part of the sea son. Washington closed last week by taking five .'straight from Cleveland. Washington Jumped on St. Louis at the start today and Inaugurated the visitors' last stay of the season here by getting a two-run lead in the first Inning. St. Louis forged ahead in the Bixth, when Engel went to pieces. John son replaced Engel with one out. BIs land, the first man to face Johnson, hit, scoring Austin, and then the big pitch er settled down. He held St. Louis scoreless thereafter. .With the score 3 to 2 against them, Washington came to bat In Its half of the sixth and tied and won In the seventh.

BT ROSCOB FAWCETT. MAKE trades partly to strength en my club, but principally to add new zest and excitement byl giving the fans something to talk about." y So vouchsafed Walter McCredie, man ager of the thrice champion Portland Coast Leaguers, Ire a fanning bee yes terday. Taking Mac at hia word, the Port land boss has surely added stimula tion to many a hard-fought campaign. He has maneuvered, perhaps, more deals than any other Coast magnate. and Is entitled to the crown as the original David Harum of the Baum circuit. McCredie has been handed many a lemon in his brotherly batterings. But, to offset tho failures, he has uncov ered several big league stars via the same wishbone counter route, and, when Mac was persuaded to delve back In the details of some of his ex changes, some interesting reading mat ter was brought to the sunlight. see JJREDIE'S biggest trade' years M have been 1905 and 1913, In the former campaign Mac robbed Mike Fisher of a pennant by trading Schaf- ley and Atz to Los Angeles for two sus pended players. Smith and Tim Flood. McCredie characterizes tho deal as a spite" trade, for he pulled it to get back at Fisher for a "dirty' deal the latter gave him In invading his train ing camp at Bakersrield In the Spring. Fisher offended by scheduling a game between Tacoma and Chicago In the park McCredie was uslng for training purposes. At any rate, McCredie got double re venge, for rain crimped the exhibition game, and on top of that Los Angeles was enabled to win over Tacoma In the playoff for the pennant, thanks to Mc Credie's ' reinforcements. Flood and Smith had been suspended for attack ing Umpire Davis, and without substi tutes tho Angels would have been pow erless against the terrible Tacoma Tigers of that Fall. e e BUT that hag not been the only pen nant race swayed by McCredie's bartering,. You don't need to go far ther back than the present campaign to find another striking object lesson. McCredie this year secured Harry Krause; Southpaw Stanley, Bill James, Elmer Lober and Al Carson via the trade route. Eliminate Krause. James and Lober from the present club, and second division would be the Portland roost. McCredie will get $2500 for James as a result of the draft the other day by rifice hit Vlox. Stolen bases Carey, Miller, St. Louis. Know how much he cost Portland? Exactly one ball player, Ben Henderson by name. McCredie ad mitted as much for the first time yes terday. Henderson Is now back In San Francisco, after falling to make good with the Toledo American Association club. "I gave Dave Gregg to Toledo for Harry Krause," explained McCredie, and, while I got far the best of it so far ag comparing the players Is con cerned, I had a big cash offer from Philadelphia for Gregg, so don't figure I'm much ahead." Gregg started the year at Cleve land, was shunted to Toledo, then to Waterbury, Conn., where he lost seven straight, and Is now back at Cleveland under his big brother's wing. m m e MANAGER McCREDIE admits that I I Hogan, of Ventae, got the better of the Carson-Koestner dicker, but I says he made up for that and then some when he persuaded Los Angeies to give him Lober and a $300 cash bonus for adlpoise-burdened Artie Krueger. 'Til tell you the inside of that Car-eon-Koestner deal," interjected big Mac. "Originally I wanted- to give Ho Ban Catcher Howley and Koestner for Catcher Brown and Carson. Brown was a better receiver than Howley, and I figured the deal would be fair.- "But Hogan finally said he had a sale on for Brown to the Boston Nationals, o kept pestering me for Koestner and Carson alone. Finally l gave in. tar- son appears to be slipping a little, but Koestner has come back and Is doing fine work. "However," added McCredie, "I guess I did Just as well, anyway, for later I traded Howley to the Philadelphia Nationals for Etanley and Loan and got a big cash bonus In the deal." Brown did not stick at Boston and is now wit:t Toronto, while Howley has been ser t to Montreal of the same league. Portland released Loan out right, but Stanley is still with Port land. rVf AL KITTRIDGE, when managing a I I minor league club, once sold a player who bad had both arms cut off In a railroad wreck. McCredie hasn't been victimised' in any such transactions, but he candidly admits he has been buncoed on more than one occasion. Mention Charley Fullerton to him and Walt smiles one of those far-away smiles denoting unpleasant dreams. That was one Instance where he was flagrantly outgeneraled. Two years ago Mac had It In his head to grab a southpaw to succeed Vean Gregg. After much scouting Mac finally settled upon Ferd Henkel, a former University of Oregon star, then twirling for Seattle. Fullerton had been wild In his few starts for Port land, so McCredie offered Dugdale the little spltballer for Henkel. Dugdale bit, the two changed places and never did a new recruit make his debut under more extraordinary or aus picious circumstances than this same Henkel. On his first appearance in a Portland uniform Ferd startled the baseball world by pitching a no-hit, no run game. But that was the flash in his pan. He fizzled from that day, and soon landed outside the pale of organized baseball. Ferd is now employed by a local electrical concern, while Fuller ton is the pitching mainstay of the Seattle team. McCredie got Fullerton originally for the asking. ' He picked him up. a free agent, from a disrupted New England League club, so after all perhaps Mac didn't lose so much as some or us ng- ure e e IN addition to his Los Angeles deal back in 1805, McCredie manipulated the famous Beck-Nadeau vs. Ats-French trade with New Orleans. Shortstop Atz afterwards went to tho big leagues. That same year Walt sent Pitcher Ham Iberg to Oakland for Larry Schlaflcy, and the latter, after stick-inn- around long enouprh to pull off his historic unassisted triple play on the local lot, was drafted from Los An geles by Washington. Portland, now ever srot the money. Likewise, in 1905, McCredie put through tho deal whereby Pitcher Jake Thielman went to St. Louis in trade for the celebrated Larry McLean. Mc Lean recently figured in a deal be tween New York and St. Louis. He is now fiiant. Thielman is a brother of Todd, the twirler released a few davs ago by Portland. McCredie slipped through a couple of deals last season that have been al most forgotten by local fans. Early In the Winter he sent Catcher Murray to St. Paul for Southpaw Stelger, and both managers Kot stung. Murray Is now in the Federal League and Stelger In the Western. The Gllllgan-Mahoney barter with Sacramento will also be faintly re called. Pitcher Gilllgan later drew an outright release from Sacramento and caught on with Minneapolis this Spring. Mahoney was shunted soon after the deal was- consummated to the Portland Colts, and he's there yet Unlike Dick Whittington, of London, Walter McCredie may never succeed in ascending the Lord Mayor's throne via the pet cat route, but, take It from me, Mac's a game guy. He says he's willing to trade his brindle bull pup for the Tacoma ball club, and any body with the temerity to suggest that risk must have, a wire-nall gizzard, i Totals. 33 0 24 15 11 Total Kan for Cross in 7th.

Scuttle won from the Portland Colts, 7 to 0, today by bunching hits in the first and eighth tunings lifter an error had put the first nuin on. Outside of these Inninpa Oilluhnn wid strong at the critical stngca although hit freely. Dell received sensational support whenever Portland had a chance to start somethine;. Netzol, first up for Tortland, at the beginning of tho game tupped Dell for a three-basser and it looked like another rampage for the Colts. Dell, however, persuaded Mohler to ground to Nill and Nill not only got his man at ttrst, but held Netzol at third. Giiimil walked and stole second making It men on third and second with one out. Dell put on everything; he had and struck out Melchior which eased the situation. Hellmann failed to get his grounder past Holderman and the threatened disaster did not come through. Seattle won the game in the last half of the inning when they got hot action with tho elitb after llnlderman reached first, on Coltrln's fumble. Ray mond fouled to Williams, but Fullerton, James and Nill hit in u row the sum total being three runs. In the eighth with the bases full Callahan's only pass forced In a run.
