Brawny Orvlc Overall, famous Cali ,.fornla football hero and later a big .u league pitching star, showed to 4200 Portland fans yesterday for the first time, twirling for San Francisco. Orvle "showed" a lot, but only tem "'porarily. for. as the office wag puts It, : "Portland knocked Over-all-over the . .. lot in the fifth," and, consequently, the ... .Mackmeti won the game, 4 to 2. Overall was relieved by Baker in the sixth inning and the southpaw pitched great ball to the finish, allowing one "hit in three frames. .'! Southpaw Stanley, of Portland, isn't nearly as large as Overall, but he ap : '. pears to be just a good a pitcher. He, '' too. was relieved of his afternoon's as-:;- slgnment, Stanley left the scene of battle in the fifth and Hagerman held -- 'the Seals runless the last five innings. Run-Getting; Causes Furore. Hagerman is credited with the vlc tory as the score stood I to 1 in the Seals' favor when he entered the box in the fifth. Portland's three run rally off Overall in the fifth created quite some furore , . in the packed grandstand, but there :;i were other diverting features of the strife. Jimmy Johnston will answer to num. . . iber one on the feature rollcall. Apparently the blonde thatched hor l" tlculturist is out to commit arson and grand larceny simultaneously. Jimmy ' Johnston stole three bases yesterday, '' raising his season's total to 107. Hap Myers' world's record Is only 115. Johnton may never have been em ployed in the mint at San Francisco, but Government spies might well look him over in their search for the man V who substituted washers for sacks of ; coin in Uncle Samuel's Mint. The speed demon was seen with J7 the day the Seals arrived and anybody who gets away from San Francisco - with that wad of kale must have had '"some reason for concealing it. Crowd Jeera at Umpire. " Continued haranguing of Plenipoten tiary Bush by the crowd added to the 'Jail effects. Umpire Bush ousted Claude Berry from the game in the ..' fourth for kicking over a strike deci '. , sion and the crowd "rode" him to the . :. finish. Poor Garnett wasn't even per mitted to announce substitutions. His .V-Voice was drowned in a wild babble of hisses and catcalls. The bat work of Johnston, Rodgers .: ; and Howard also caused tickles of ex ... citement at odd and divers moments, ii... Johnston and Rodgers each swatted out three hits, the latter being prln-.'-"cipally responsible for the Portland vlc i tory.

Apparently, it is going to be " an impossible Job to stop the Beavers , from winning the pennant. With four weeks to go, it is almost certain that Johnston will establish a new world's base-stealing record. The day was perfect for baseball.

COAST LEAGUE MAGNATES PROFITS FROM BASEBALL General Tone of Minor League Owners Is Pessimistic, but Affairs in AA $50,000 "Velvet," With McCredie Showing Net Balance BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. ASEBALL officials connected with the business end of the game are asking themselves whether or not the National sport has passed Its crest. at least from a financial viewpoint Most of the minor leaguers are experi encing their second successive "off season." Hence this pessimistic palav ering. In view of the general conditions around the country Pacific Coast League magnates have reason to con gratulate themselves, it is unlikely that any club will lose money, although Sacramento will hardly have any snug fortune left when the final checking comes. While it is Impossible to get accur ate figures, estimates based on state ments of those fainy wen iniormea credit San Francisco and Portland with being the biggest money makers. Seals' Profits Large. While the Seals have been a second division club for many weeks Cal Ewing admits that his team has been drawing better than ever before. San Francisco is in reality a major league hall citv and will average anywhere 'from S500 to 4000 every day of the long season. Sa.n Francisco s profits have been annually estimated at close to $75,000, but if the facts were public Ewing's real profits would probably be found to be around $50,000 per annum. Ewlng paid $1000 for Johnston and lost him In the draft for $2500, so made $1500 on that deal. Overall, too, paid for himself in one week. Portland drew poorly at home early In the year because of a late start, and BOWLING PLANS UP Meek, Victoria Slugger, Join Portland Ranks. May BATTER IS GREAT ROLLER J. E. Kelley Team Likely to Draw Star Player Various Clubs Get Organizations Started and Practice Gets Under Way. Harry Meek, premier batter of the Northwestern League and considered one of the greatest bowlers of the Pacific CoaBt, will .probably be a mem ber of the J. E. Kelley Bowling team, of the Portland City League Just as soon as Victoria finishes its season. Tom O'Donnell, vice-president of the Port land Bowling Association and manager of the Kelley team, recently received a letter which leads him to believe that Meek will bowl on his team. Meek has some money and has often expressed the desire to go into business WHERE THE TEAMS PLAY THIS WEEK. Pacific Coast Leaacne. . Series starts Tuesday. Oakland at Portland, 6 games. Los Angeles at Venice, 7 games. Sacramento at San Francisco, 7 games. This is the last appearance of the Portland Pacific Coast League- team in Portland for the 1913 season. in -some Northwestern city. O'Donnell claims that Meek has selected Portland for his Winter abode. Meek has for many years cleaned up matters pretty thoroughly wherever he has bowled. His average for 1912 was very close to 200. He usually manages to find a good partner and together they have been strenuous opponents in Northwest Bowling Congresses for many years. The Kelley team will also have Bech- tel, formerly a partner of Meek's In the doubles. Bechtel rolled in Portland last year and hung up an average of 190. The Class A City League, of which the Kelley team will be a leading team, is now fairly well organized. The personnel of six of the teams has been picked by the captains and a week from Monday, the first game will be rolled. Kelley's team besides Meek and Bech tel, has Schachtmeyer, Baker and O'Donnel, all men who finished good in last year's averages. The Imperial Hotel, Oregon Alleys, M. L. Kline, Pacific Telephone and Tele graph Company, Hop Gold and J. E. Kelly teams have registered their members. The Imperial Hotel will have Case, Melvln, Heffron, Capen, Al Arens and Deaver. The Oregon Alley will have Gilroy, the attendance even in the latter stages of the race, with the Beavers in first place, has not been up to former years. But the McCredies have run into four tr five real "harvest weeks" one at Sacramento, which yielded a cool $1500 of velvet, another at San Francisco when the Seals won seven In eight, be sides a couple ef red-hot Berles at home and when the Macks audit the books for the Winter it is not unlikely that the Beavers will show a profit of at least $20,000. McCredie Good Financier. McCredie is undoubtedly the best financier among the Coast managers, perhaps because he is more directly interested than the others. Money re ceived from the Bales of Klawltter, James and Howley approximately $7000 will just about balance Mac's expenditures for talent this season. McCredie and Wolverton are strange contrasts in the financial retrospect. Wolverton's sole aim is to win ball games at any cost. He spent money prodigiously last Winter and Spring and the Senators must stand Atkin at least $80,000 for players alone. Atkin will likely clean up about $10, 000 on the actual running expenses, but it is going to take two or three seasons to put Atkin in the clear. Perhaps that is why he Is trying to dispose of his interests. He says he. is tired of baseball. Venice got away poorly In the Spring, but is drawing well at home now, with , the Tigers up in the race. Los Angeles Is the Tiger an-1 tlthesis. Dillon simply walked away with the race in the early stages, but Meister, Abell, Blaney and Gus Ahrens. The M. L. Kline team will be com posed of Franklin, Babcock, Raymond, Knevse and Kruse. The Paoific Telephone & Telegraph will have Moore, Dinston, sneppara. Echelman, Probst and Kelly. The Hod Golds, numerated are: Chris tian, Meyers, Wood, Hauler and Leap. This league will have two otner teams before the opening of the sched ule. The men will be of the same can ber. for the most part who made good in last year's Class A League with a few of the best from the commercial league. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Washington 8, New Yor.k 3. NEW YORK. Sept, 27. Washington made'it three straight from New York today and went into second place, win ning the last game of trie season in New York with ease, the score being 8 to 3. Caldwell was hit hard in the second and fourth innings, when the Senators took a five-run lead. Pieh, who relieved Caldwell, pitched well with the exception of the seventh In ning, when Washington scored three runs. Groom pitched brilliantly for the visitors, allowing five scattered hits in seven innings, and striking out seven men. Love, an Atlanta recruit, relieved Groom in the eighth.

Detroit captured a double-header from Cleveland here today, the scores being 7 to 6 and 4 to 3. The first game was a slugging match, in which both teams bunched hits to good advantage. The second contest, closely fought, was called on account of darkness after the first half of the seventh innn.g. The double defeat tumbled the Naps from second place and advanced Washington, which won from New York today, to that position.

These clubs will likely show profits around $15,000 or $18,000 apitce. Oaks Have Hard Skidding. Oakland ranked second among the good investments in 19ft, when Bud Sharpe piloted the Commuters to their first pennant. Some optimists rated Oakland's profits close to $100,000, but after the sugar extraction the exact figures were likely closer to $40,000, This year the Oaks have been fail ures, both baseballically and finan cially. They have not been drawing at home or away from home, and if they close with $10,000 to the good Frank Leavltt and C. P. Cook should consider themselves fortunate. Oakland has spent more, perhaps, than any other club In bolstering dur ing the progress of the race. This, to gether with the interest and payments on a palatial new ball park, will keep the Oak management scratching. San Francisco, too, will have a costly amphitheater next season, but the Seal park is owned by a separate company, and, in addition, drags down a fat per centage from the Oakland rental. Considering the amounts at which Pacific Coast League franchises are valued, the hazards of the business and the always possible chance of a baseball war ,eating into the frame works of the system, these figures show only a fair return on the capital investment. San Francisco's franchise is worth around $300,000; the franchises In Portland, Los Angeles and Venice not far shy of $175,000 to $200,000 apiece. -Si In 3 innings; off Steen. 8 in 4 2-3 Innings; oft James. 2 In 2 1-3 innings; off Cullop, 1 in 1.

Today will mark the end of the Northwestern League pennant season and will bring to a close the Portland. Spokane series with only one real point at Issue. Can Spokane finally break through and win a series from Port land? The Colts were the victors In a business-like hour and 20-minute engage ment yesterday afternoon, making the count on the series three out of five for Spokane. Two games this afternoon will wind it up and "Spokane needs only one of the two to take one good, satisfactory crack at the ancient, time, honored Portland "jinx." ' The splendid quality of ball of th last week, the glorious weather and the rivalry between the two teams should serve to attract a big turnout. Indiana Clamped In Cellar. There Is no opportunity for Spokane to better her position in the pennant race, no matter if the Indians should win two and Tacoma take a doublo beating at Seattle. It is Just a test of the real baseball spirit. Two games today, first startini; at 2 o'clock sharp and then curtains until next Spring. Second place continues In doubt and today may decide it. Portland has a fraction the better of Seattle and it will be necessary for the "Tealykums" to gain today. Seattle has a double header with Vaucouver and the wny the Canucks are going it is hardly likely they will do better than break even unless Brown should send in weak pitchers to settle his grudge with McCredie. Yesterday's was a splendid game of ball and there Is no need of excuses. Lurk Favora Colts. The Indians were outlucked in great many cases on hard drives shoot, lng straight Into somebody's hands. But the Colts outhatted, outflelded and outgeneraled the Indians, and that they also outlooked them Is only a matter of course, not to be advanced as an alibi. Pitching honors were fairly even. Each of i Smith's two walks counted in Portland's run-getting, so the shade also goes to Eastley, but both boys pitched fine ball. The fielding was snappy. The score: Portland !
