It could have had a club at Los Angeles, another at Oakland and held Sacra mento, besides retaining all their old territory Ilka Stockton, San Jose and Fresno. m .. The majority of the directors of the California league signified their will ingness to enter organiied baseball under these terms. Just when the pros pects were the best, Morelng said "Nothing doing." The Stockton magnate was willing to surrender certain players whom the organized club owned and wanted. More lng declared he would be loyal to the men who had been loyal to him. He had induced players to Jump contracts, and it was not hlr style to abandon them to the bears and wolves. There was much haggling over terms before the two leagues saw It was no go. Now that the California league has, had a losing year. President Ewlng will again make overtures to Uie opposition. It Is known that the Coast league will be ready to make generous concessions to the California league in regard to territory, though the nature of which cannot be atated with exactness, at this time.

"a ' Bill Reidy turned a trick yesterday that la used daily In the big leagues,' but which seems not to have reached the - coast ' When . Portland made two- successive hits tn the ninth, the ex-Brooklynite bugled for Wtggs, who was out behind the bleacn ers warming up. Wlggs had to stand for a lot of kidding from the Portland players, who crowded around him, but the big fellow sent back as good as was handed to him. ' Breen evidently thought Fisher's ball was routed for Mars, the way he am bled so leisurely between second and third. There was no reason on earth Why he couldn't have made boms on the double. jnsher"s swat fell a few reet short or going over the fence and Quig ley had a hard time recovering it, Even though he didn't score on Fishers hit, he snould have reached home on - Mc Creole's grounder, as the hit and run signal had been flashed. ''.. ' Ort started the error! tig In the second when he threw high to Carson who was covering first on Qulgley's grounder. The seventh error was contributed by Billy SpeaB. who dropped an easy fly back of third. In between there were a quintet Of bad ones. After Graney had reached second on Ragan's error, consisting in the drop- Ing or a perfectly thrown ball from ewis, that worthy who. played in riaht. Instead of Manager Mac, was caught napping at second on a throw from Tennesson to McKune. Jack much re sembled a hippo trying to get back to the bag and made a ludicrous looking slide.

Duffy routed the bail back nice ly, but Ort went under it Some of the notables of the San Fran cisco club are coming north with the players to see the Seals beaten. San Franclsoo Is the only club that has taken , a series on the home srounds. By Jhe way, it will be the last week the leafue leaders will play In the north this season and the last chance the fans will get to see the team in its present makeup. For that reason the crowds win probably be the largest of the sea son. Bill Chinault crushed Into the sacred realm hitherto occupied only by Eddie Kinseua, when he pitched a no hit no run game atralnst the Vancouver team yesterday, in the game that was trans ferred to Beattla Hope BUI keeps up the work against the Turks In his turn this week. Carson Is mltrhtr nifty about la Tin a down bunts. He dumped a pretty ono In the fifth Inning and then beat out another in the seventh. Tn respect to the memory of the late Harry Polllam. president of the National league, who committed suicide in New York the other day, there will be no tames In either of the major leagues oday. . Here's one from a fan that will de serve thinking over: Sporting Editor Journal Let me say that the baseball public wants to see the games won. They want Portland to capture the pennant above all things and to them batting averages and clean fielding are second ary .considerations, Th .public, will quickly forget the errors made If the team pulls together at the right time and clinches" the game. Eight thousand fans left the ball park yesterday utterly disgusted with the work of the Portland team. Tney knew the eame should have been won and but for the loafing or the baserunnera and ragged work in the field, the team would hays remained In second place. The publio dislikes to see the Port land baserunnera stop and give a friend ly hug to the opposing players. These Fames are all dead earnest with the ana It Is a fight to the finish and they don't like that brotherly love stunt that was so much In evidence yester day.

When told that not only were the morphine pills purchased, but frequent ly good sized orders of opium and other rorms or dope supplied the institu tion, physicians could scarcely realize the truth or the statement.

During the past year the number of saloons have been reduced from 10 to three. Those remaining are doing a big business as the city is filled with transient laborers and visitors.

"He Included selections from Brown ing and Tennyson, but not one of the plays of Shakespeare, that great mas ter of the human heart He gave a place on the shelf for 'The Imitation of Christ' and "Pilgrim's Progress,' but gave apparently no place to the Bible, without which these classics as well as others named by him cannot bs under stood.
