Locals Crawl Up While Vernon Tightens Grip on Lead CAN ANGELS UNCAN GAME DUCKS CAN? They Can. for Score Shows Un canny Proof of Game Lost Won TLAND, Aug:. 16.—Portland ex elghtfa inning today and on the game. 4 to " after the Beavers had tucked victory in bed and s';np it to sleep. The result was quite a shock to the fans when Tvan Howard managed to rat^li Koestner asleep at the switch at out an infield tap in the eighth. Followed hy a couple of long ■nd some errors, this situation developed into a triumph for the Dil lonitep. Aft^r having achieved first on his wierd hunt, which the Portland pitcher I have had by a mile. Howard stole second. After Metzger had fiied Chadbonrne, Howard stole Tn this crisis, Pete Daley bingled to center and Howard scored. The ecore had previously been 3 to 1 in favo r of the house of McCredie. Having hit safely. Daley did not pause at first because Krueger was pawing the ground instead of recover ing the ball. An error hy Koestner put Moore safe on first and dispatched I-aley to third base. Heitmuller then dumped a short fly in right field. Buddy Ryan, still har boring a wounded fin, tried to get the blow but failed and by the time Krue ger had chased the pill to the fence and flung it home Moore and Daley ]-,ad scored. Heitmuller was punctured at third base. Delmas' out ended the agony, but the damage had already b^en accomplished. The enemy had previously obtained a tally on Metzger's? double, a wild pitch and Moore's single in the fourth. • Flame' Delhi, the Angels* one best ng bet. was somewh«t awry in The first and the locals had slight diffi culty in chasing over a couple of rum • 'hadbourne walked and Lindsay, who* was moved up in the batting order, (sacrificed neatly. Ryan also waited patiently and was passed, and when Bill Rapps whanged a safety to right, rhadbourne raced home. Rapps and Ryan then pulled the doubje steal, and Buddy careened all the way home be cause Abbott's weird throw carried to Howard in left field Instead of landing within grappling distance of Metzger. Bill Lindsay butted into the lime ligni as a base runner in the third, when he tallied the Beavers' last run. The newcomer beat out an infield hit and took second on a wild pitch. He stole third while Delhi was working on Buddy Ryan, and scored when Ryan laced out a long fly to Heitmuller, who backed up against the right field wall to*nake the catch. Lindsay doubled in the fifth, but was left on third after he had beaten the toss of an outfield fly from second base. Bill Steen was sent in to finish the B game in the ninth inning and all the damage he sustained was the allowing: of a two. ha.gger by Delhi. - Steen will probably-be sent back at the Angel? tomorrow while the visitors will use Jack Ha-lla or Agnew against Portland.

FANS SHOW CONTROL BY KEEPING TEMPERS Thompson Shows None and Seals Win In Dreary, Lusterless Exhibition The Seals annexed their fifth straight game yesterday, it being the second of the series 1 from tHe Senators. The game will go down on the calendar as one of the choice lemon exhibitions of the year, a«d the fans who gave UP their good money to witness the show were entitled to rain checks and a medal for their patience*. It dragged along for 2 hours and 10 minutes. The game was uninteresting from t*re outset, as the Seals practically won it in the opening inning, when they Hammed Thompson around the lot and gathered Four runs for themselves. This'one inning was enough, as the Senators never had a look in at any time. Seals were not satisfied with four, but made as many more during different innings of tlfe game. The fielding was terrific, 12 errors tjeing eveitly divided between the two teams. However, th^e Seals' boots* were not as costly as the slips of the Senators. Lefty Thompson started off for the Capital city tossers, but one round on the hill was enough for the slim shoot er. Ben Hunt, who has recently recov ered from a siege of illness, made his reappearance on the hill after a pro longed absence and pitched a nice ar ticle of ball. His support, however," was very much to the bad. Miller worked for the locals and showed good form, holding the visitors to five hits and one run. He had every thing anfl his curves were breaking nicely for him. fJe did not come in for good support, either, for the Seals made boots behind him, but his effec tive twirling kept the enemy from do ing any execution. "While the game was a bloomer from a spectators standpoint the fans found some satisfaction in the fact that the Se"als won and thereby climbed closer to the top. Yesterdays victory put the Seals right behind the Oaks and within hailing distance of Portland^. Thompson was belted right from the outset. Powell started the fusilade by driving out a safe one by second. Then Weaver doubled to deep left and Mc- Ardie followed with a single through short, scoring Powell. It looked as if the Senator hurley would get the hook before the inning expired, but O'Rourke allowed him to work it through. Vitt continued the good work with a single to short right. Weaver scoring. Thompson showed a bit of class by get ting Tennant and Smith on strikes, but he made a mistake in passing Madden. A wild pitch followed and McArdle scored. Berry walked and then Vitt stole home in the most daring manner. Miller brought a close to the inning by going out on strikes. O'Rourke gave Thompson the hook after the first frame and sent in Ben Hunt to finish the job. Hunt appeared to be in his old form, as his curves broke nicely for him and the Seals did not have a great amount of success trying to straighten out his benders. However, the Seals did not need to make hits, as they were able to score without them. Two tallies came in the second frame with the assistance of a hit. Hunt walked Powell and Weaver sacrificed. McArdle's out sent Powell to third. While the Senators were put ting McArdle out Powell stole home. Vitt reached first by being hit by pitcher and immediately stole second and a passed ball allowed him to go to third. Then Tennant came through ; with a hit to right field and Vitt ambled I home. ! Hunt succeeded in holding the Seals VICTORIA ACTS IN GAME LIKE PROVERBIAL WORM SEATTLE, Aug. 16.—Victoria turned the tables on Seattle today and won a hard fought game, 3 to 1.

After Oakland had the credit score in the eighth inning, Vernon made the necessary run in their half and cinched the game. The stickwork of Zacher, who made five hits, was the batting feature of the game. Vernon took an early lead. They started in the second, Stimson wending' ; his W*y arouq^ the sacks on a single,* a sacrifice and a clean hit by Burrell.

Abbot, vice president and man« ager of the Security savings bank of this city, who recently returned from a trip to Portland In his 1911 Pope- Hartford car, is most enthusiastic over the tour and the joys and thrills that went with the 761 mile journey north. Abbot had to contend with some mighty bad roads between Redding and Shasta and again in southern Oregon, but throughout the entire journey he was never held up once either by trouble with his car or the tires. He is warm in his praise regarding the ease with which his Pope-Hartford took the grades, many of which he claims were the steepest in the state. Telling of his tour yesterday Abbot said: "I shipped my car to Sacramento and made the start from the capital city. The first night we reached Red ding, 192 miles distant, and the next morning we left for Shasta springs and the McCloud country club preserve. The road to the country club grounds is certainly one of the steepest to be found in the state. The gradometer on my car, a 32 per cent gauge, reached the limit in several places and I am sure that the incline was two or three per cent in excess of that. My Pope- Hartford climbed these without the least bit of trouble. The country club grounds are a scenic wonderland and well worth the hard trip to reach them. "Returning to McCloud we con tinued north to Medford, Ore., then to Glendale, Eugene and on to Portland. The roads in southern Oregon were in bad shape, being very dusty and full of ruts, but we learned that repair work would soon be commenced. In the Siskiyou mountains the roads were in relatively good condition. Perhaps the worst stretch of the journey was between Redding and Shasta springs, where the road is rocky and rough. "From a scenic standpoint the trip is one of the most gorgeous that I have ever taken and I doubt if the views can be duplicated anywhere in the country. The tour took Just seven days and perhaps one of the *nost en joyable features pi it was that I lost no time on tire repairs or In trouble with my car.'* Accompanying Abbot on the trip were Mrs. Abbot, Mr. and Mrs. Richard H. Pease and Mr. and Mrs. Watson also made the tour in Pease's locomobile. Girl *q Drive Takoe Entry—The most interesting of recent entries to be re ceived for the Lake Tahoe endurance run is that of a Flanders "20" foredore touring car, which will be driven by Miss Helen Weaver. The car is en tered by the Studebaker Brothers of CWifornla through the manager, C. X. Weaver. Miss Weaver has the dis tinction of being the first, and to date the only woman to enter the run. al though it is understood that a num ber of others are contemplating try ing the trip. Miss Weaver further shows her confidence by refusing to enter the private owners' division, which calls for no contest require ments, and by insisting that she drive the car strictly according to the sched ule and under the, rules which have been provided for the contesting ma chines. She is one of the most capable of those local women who go In fnr motoring, and thorough I v expects to return from the tavern with a perfect score. In speaking of her own driv ing skill, however. Miss Weaver shoe's a modest reticence. It is only when the discussion-turns to her car that she enters into the conversation with full enthusiasm. It is pretty har.l to find a task which Miss Weaver consid ers too large for her Flanders to ac complish, and in it all she treats her own part as the driver merely inci dental. In addition to this touring car Studebaker Brothers have entered two Flanders "20" roadsters, which will be driven by H. W. Smith and Stanley Jonas. Another vlealer who has finally decided to enter the run is E. C. Col- Una of the Cartercar Auto company. Collins will take a Cartercar on the tour with Ralph Collins officiating at the wheel. This is the same driver who piloted the Cartercar to a perfect score last year in the first annual Tahoe run. • • • '-"Southerner on I-onjr Tonr In C fcal nera—H. Lloyd, a well known resi dent of Los Angeles, arrivevl here yes terday on his way to Seattle. Lloyd is making the trip in his 1910 Chalmers "40.** and although he has had the car more than a year, he states he has practically spent nothing on it for repair work. _ 11
