What Is believed will help to stim ulate Interest In bnseball happened Sunday when the Weonas, of Port land, defeated the Senators In a well played game by a score of 4 to 7. The visitors played good ball and so did the locals, hut on account of two costly errors by the locals, three runs were mado by the Weonas, which otherwise would have been an ovenly matched game. Then again the decisions of Umplro Cernlk were not up to his usual high standard, while they were apparently evenly divided between the visitors and the locals, they were more expensive for our boys than for Portland. Consid erable dlssatlufactlon was manifest In the grand stand and on the bleach ers at some of the decisions and at times the opposing teams became very Indignant over tho decisions, but one thing was well' settlod, there was no partiality shown by the um pire, although several runs wore made by tho visiting twain on what, to thoso looking on from the grand stand, were considered bad decisions. It must bo taken Into consideration that the umpire views tho plays from an entirely different view point from those who witness the gamo as by standers. Considerable rnln fell during the progress of the game, making ltv.ery dlsagrocablo for the players as the ball became wot and slippery. At times It threatened to break up the game, but It was pluyed to the end the Interest continuing Intense until the last half of the ninth Inning was played. Salem got eight bits off Kelly and Gurvell, while the visitors succeeded In landing on only seven of linker's hot ones. Smart and Kinrlck for the Weonas each mnde one error, while Jones made 2, Portorllcld made 2, Humphreys and Catcher linker made ono each. Baker struck out. 12 of the opH)iients and Kelly and Gurvell for the Portlands, succeeded In fan ning out 14 of our men. Time of Mime, 1:40. The game In detail was as follows: Nothing was done on either side In the first two Innings. Humphreys fumbled Gurvcll's grounder and the latter Btole second and scored on Pcrterfleld's error In handling Mc Hale's grounder. In the 4th inning with two down, Nelson put one over the center field fence for a homo run. When Salem's iturn came In this Inning, the score was tied. Porterfleld drew a two ibiigger, scoring on Kerne's two-bag lilt. Baker got a walk, Humphreys gels a fielder's choice, when Keone goes out by third baseman, throwing to catcher. West got. a two-bugger which enabled Baker to score. In the tth Inning Gurvell strikes r.ut Kelly singles, Smart singles, putting Kelly on 3rd. Kolly goes out In an attempt to double steul with Smart. Mcllalo took first on Jones' error, scoring Smart. In the 7th Inning Kelly took 1st on Catcher Baker's error to Jones, Smart Is hit by pitched ball. Mcllale sacrifices, advancing each man one base.
