srANprNG OF THE CLUBS
By William J. SIattery

McCredie and his Beavers tossed an
other bloomer against the Oaks on
the Valencia street lot yesterday after
noon. The game was erratic. slow and
uninteresting. There was no ques-
tion that it was the worst base
ball attempt OF the season, and the
fans realized it. too Nobody on the
Portland lineup seemed TO care
whether the game lasted a minute or
a week. The Commuters did the best
they could and gave the fans the best
they had. so there is no chance to file
. kick against them. Had Portland
done likewise. the game would have
been a bird"
All the trouble and weird mixups
came in the opening inning. apparently
before the northerners could get a line
on how they stood. Busher Harkness
did not have anything, and the Oaks
soon realized this, for they began to
make hay while the sun was shining.
In addition to being easy TO hit, Hark-
ness could not held the ball at all,
so with this double handicap, he stood
no chance 10 get by
Murphy. the first man to face the
Portland pitcher, got 4 pass and stole

one. and Truesdale pulled up at the
second station, where he waited until

This WAS a fine starter. but the
worst was 10 come. Breyette got

got was a lone run. When Hardness

There seemed to be no team work,
or anything like order on the Port
land lineup. The men never got into
the game with anything like vim or
dash, and they overlooked several
chances Of scoring by slow and sloppy
work on the bases. Both catchers
were weak at pegging and the run

Battle of Pitchers, in Which
L0ucks Has Shade Better
of Henderson
STANDING OF THE CLUBS

The Stockton warriors got back the
slipping the fast Oakland team the
brush by l to score yesterday. 1t
was essentially a battle of pitchers,
with Loucks. who did the firing for
the Slough City bunch, having it on
Henderson trif1e. Shay and his tribe
had better field manners. which pleased
the crowd more than the preceding
day
Loucks was well oiled. He steamed
lot over the plate which Captain
Nealons men did not relish, and for
the nine innings they biffed at the air
in vain trying to locate the elusive ball
The only one of the transbay boys who
had much success with Loucks' deliv-
cry was Burns. who annexed three of
the five hits which were scored off
the upcountry twirler.
Henderson was no target either. His
offerings had big circles, and he al
lowed only half a dozen bingles. but
his teammates failed TO give him any
assistance. They could not hit the
opposing pitcher.
The Stocktons started off in the
opening inning as if they were going
to send Henderson to the bench carly
in the fray. After getting two hits
off him the Oakland mound artist
tightened up and sent the other bats
men to the bench without allowing
them to bring home the boys who were
on bases. Again in the fourth inning
when Frames led off with three base
swat. Henderson tightened up with
out allowing the visitors to bring home
Frames. Stockton on several ocea-
sions had Henderson in a hole, but he
pulled through safely.
The run that did the trick came in
frame four. and il was accomplished
through the means of fast base run
ming. Shay, by showing burst of
speed. beat out an infield hit. Farrell,
Stockton's second baseman, laid down
a nice bunt, and Shay sacrificed to
second. Terry McKune got himself in
wrong by allowing one to go through
his legs. which was responsible for the
run. Miller raped a grounder through
shortstop, and Terry got his legs
crossed and allowed the ball to roll
out in the field. BY the-time it was re-
covered Shay had crossed the pan and
landed the only run during the game.

sore on the body will remain
open. No amount of dressing,
cleansing or disinfecting the ulcer
with SalveS, lotions, plasters, ETC.,

they do not reach the blood.
The proper way, and the
only way, to cure an old sore or
ulcer, is to remove the source
on which it feeds; in other words
cleanse the blood and the place

The combination Of health

S. S. S. removes inherited taintS
from the blood also, and prevents

of the damaged store and stock and

The office of the store is located
in the west room of the building and
1t was cut off from the main room
by partitions of glass. The heating
stove in the Office was we'll protected
by steel sheeting from the wall.
There are two theories advanced
as to the manner in which the fire
started. One is that the stove be-
came so hot that some papers in pig
con holes near by became so heated
that they ignited and spread the fire
Another theory is that the fire was
started either from an overheated
stovepipe or from the ilue. Some of
the circumstances would indicate
that the fire burnt down, instead of
starting low and burning up toward
the ceiling.
over and around Mr.. McCulloch's
desk We're arranged shelves and pig
con holes which We're filled with pri-
vate papers, account statements,
collection OF important papers be-
longing to mining company in
which Mr. McCulloch is Interested,
and large amount of stationery.
blanks, etc, of the school district, of
which Mr.. McCulloch is a director
and secretary. Also there were many
catalogues and books and papers of
more or less Importance to the firm.
All of these things We're comp etely
destroyed, and the pigeon holes and
shelves are filed with charred papers
and ashes. This loss which cannot
be given commercial value. will
, prove in many respects a heavy one
to Mr.. McCulloch.
Fortunately, the books of the firm
and many private and very valuable
| papers We're locked in the big iron
safe and. while the safe has not
| been opened, it is very probable that
all of its contents are intact.
| On top of the little office We're
scores of pitchforks, other similar i'm
plements, several sets of door screens,
| many sets of harness and u great
many other things When the roof
of the Office burned through, all of
| these things fell into the fiery in
terror of the office and We're either
completely or partially destroyed.
Running toward the rear of the
building. and on "A level with the top
of the office is spacious balcony
floor. and on this We're arranged
many sets of harness, robes, scores of
large cans of oils, grease and many
other departments of the stock. Had
the fire remained undiscovered few
moments longer. this balcony, toward
which the fire was eating, would have
fallen, and in all probability the oils
and grease ignited, and then the in
terror of the store would have in a
| moments time become a seething,
fiery furnace.
As it was. some 30 or 80 sets of
harness near the edge of the bal

ceiling of this west room (the main

covered.
It was hard to detect the location
of the flames. so dense was the smoke
but the fire boys worked faithfully
and effectively. and through their
splendid efforts kept the stock and
building from being n complete loss.
| Besides the loss sustained from the
