Great Cane To-day.

DAY and only three Of Powell's men had
wagon tongues long enough to reach his
curves. Mr.. O'Neill, late Of Texas, other
wise yclept RED Nosed Nike" went into
the box for Seattle for the first time, and
the balls he wound up with his Waterbury
attachment were returned to lonesome
spots in the outer garden six times in tho
nrst three innings, although after that
only one man was able to solve the mystery
of his curves.
Glenalvin's Gladiators won the game be-
cause they hit the ball when men were ON
the bases. and Powell's men lost because
they did not hit the ball at all. The crowd
thought that the home team could not
have won under any circumstances. be-
cause numbers were sgainst them: or. in
other words, that Umpire Heuels made
the tenth man in the Portland team. Civ.
Ing Mr.. Hengle what Is due him, credit for
honesty Of purpose, the crowd cannot be
blamed for accusing him of possessing
very poor judgment, not only in decisions
against the home team, but one or two in
its favor. It was not IN easy game to UNI
pire. and the decisions against the home
team were always at critical points. The
bleachers had it in for Mr.. Hengle, and his
decisions, both right and wrong, were
ieered at.
The game. aside from Tom PARROTS
splendid pitching and fielding of his posi-
ton, was almost featureless. Jiggs Par
rott put up splendid ball on third, accept
ing eight chances, some Of which were
very difficult. Notx and Schoeneck
divided h0nors at first. Hernon made the
circus catch of the game in the eighth
when, after falling inso two or three Of the
holes which abound in right field, he
pulled down Tom PARROTS fly that vas
cut out for three-bagger.
The Portland men commenced winning
in the start. After the home team had
been retired without hit or run O'Neil set
to work and gave promise Of great work by
striking out Westlake. Then he gave
Lytle first on balls and hewas brought
all the way home by Georges two-bagger
to right center. Glendalvin hit to O'Neil,
who made q ine assist Of very hot ball.
Motz struck out
In the second inning Newman hit safe
to center, stole second and was sacrificed
to third by Irwin, but he got no further
for Schoeneck struck out and Snyder died
out to George.
Darrah got down to Schoeneck's corner
on four balls and Jiggs Parrot advanced
him peg by dropping pop fly into GEN.
ter. Tully sent clean hit into left and
Darrah scored. Tom Parrot popped up
fly which thinner dropped purposely in
order to make double, but the double did
not work and only Tom Parrot was out.
Westiake slugged the ball into center and
Jiggs Parrot came home. Lytle sacri-
feed to thinner and Tully scored. George
flew out to Powell
Again IN the third the Portlands scored.
Glenalvin died on grounder to Schoe-
neck Motz sent the ball to right center
for two bags. Darrah followed with
single, and started down to second. He
WAS caught on the way by Snyder, Schoe-
neck, Shea and thinner, hut Motz came
home on the play. w. Parrot hit to
Irwin and died at first.
O'Neil settled down in the fourth and
Portland did not score, but in the fifth
George got first on hit which was too
hot for Shea to hold, and stole second
while Glenalvin was tanning the air.
Motx got first on balls. Darrah hit to
Irwin and died ct first, George crossing
the plate and Motz taking third.
Then Jiggs PARROT hit to Zlmmer who
fnmbled and Motx came home. Tully
hunted to O'Neil who threw him out
at first.
No more runs were made by Portland as
O'Neil settled down and only allowed one
more hit. The Seattle players were un-
able to make the circuit, however, until
the seventh, when Powell went all the way
around on q hunt, hit of Newman's,
which was fumbled by Jiggs Pmrott and
wild throw Of Tom Parrott to catch him
at third.
In the eighth thinner hit safely to right.
O'Neil hit to Glenalvin, who fumbled, and
Hengle said thinner was safe on second,
although the crowd said he wasn't. Her
non hit long iy to Lytle and thinner
took third, Shea flied out to Darrah and
thinner scored. Hsngle claimed that
O'Neii was caught OF first, and the side
Was retired. The score:
