their territory, Portland managed to
rush the Boise goal and score, Hamil-
ton Corbett coming into prominence
again. Boise came back strong in the
sixth and Ostner again scored while a
foul was called on Hamilton Corbett.
Lemp scored the final score of the
game in the seventh by making a long
knock-in and following 1t up for a
raid on the Portland goal. Boise often
had the Portland in danger, but failed
to shoot true and shot the ball out of
bounds by narrow margins. No scores
were made in the eighth and closing
period of the second half.
The trophies were presented to the
members of the Portland team imme-
diately after the game and with them
went the victory of the series and the
northwestern championship.
Portland is deserving of its victory
over Boise and few polo fans in this
city who witnessed the game will be-
grudge them 1t, for the visitors played
like gentlemen and sportsmen. They
won not because they are so superior
at the great army game in individual
players, although none will deny but
what they are exceptionally strong, but
which was always in evidence and
which Boise could not break down
Constant practice has given Portland
this teamwork. Those who were IA
miliar with the two clubs had little
hope of Boise winning and 1t Is safe
to say that the Boise team feared
for the worst. Boise can be strength
ened and with the kind Of practice that
will build up teamwork can hold It's
own in the future with northwestern
polo teams, including Portland.

Portland lifted the northwestern polo
championship yesterday by taking the
third straight game from Boise in the
series, and left today for the Rose City
bearing with them the honors the polo
club of this city has held for years. The
score, Portland I. Boise 3. Portland
almost turned the last game into q
route during the first half, but Boise
desperately rallied in the latter part of
the game and played the visitors to a
standstill. They never. however, had a
chance to pull out with the game then
for it was too late. Portland's superior
teamwork manifested since the series
opened was their strongest form to at
tack and Boise seemed to be unable to
break it up at critical stages of the
game.
Hamilton Corbett the Star.
Where Robertson has been the star
of the two previous games Hamilton
Corbett was easily the star yesterday.
Like a whirlwind he raided the Boise
goal time and time again. Aided by
good team work he managed to pull
the ball out of scrimmages and, GET
away with a clear field ahead of him
scoring many goals Boise tried every
thing to stop the onslaught but Port
land was not to be stopped. They did
not cease their aggressive lines of at

quarter and second half when they had
lifted the Championship. Boise was
never given a rest Ostner and L>emp
showed in stronger form than in pre-
vious games while Falk and Barringer
played hard and fast. The home four
was UP against a combination hard to
beat.
A big crowd of enthusiastic polo fans
Witnessed the game. 1t was seldom
however that they had an opportunity
to give vent to this enthusiasm for
Portland got away early in the game
for strong lead leaving Boise trailing
In the rear. However, there was
enough sensational riding, fast scrim-
images and horsemen punched racing
down the field following the ball to give
everyone a thrill One of the exciting
incidents Of the game took place to-
wards the latter half when Robertson's
horse racing at full speed stumbled ov-
er the side boards of the field and went
crashing full length to the outer fence.
Robertson was prepared for the shock
and went over the horses head to his
feet Neither the player or mount were
injured and within a short time play
was resumed
Portland Scores Steadily.
Boise looked like a formidable foe in
the opening quarter and held Portland
without a score. Lemp and Barringer
secured the ball from the scrimmage
on the throw in and rushed the visit
ors goal. 1t looked like a goal but
Portland punched and blocked clearing

over the field to end the quarter with
neither team counting.

ter all hope of Boise winning vanished.

was resumed in this quarter near the
Boise goal where the ball had been

gave Johnson for Portland a chance
to try for the goal and score. The ball

q few seconds
Slaughter Continues.
The third period was worse than the
second as the slaughter continued. II
was during this period that Hamilton
Corbett came into prominence. He
rode through the Boise team for
three goals while Johnson scored two
more, making five in all. A foul was
called on Johnson, but Portland had
run up Az points. Boise took it's first
goal in the fourth, Ostner counting

SOUTH AMERICA
 HARD HIT BY WAR Conditions Worst Known in Many Years-People In
 Actual Want

Panama. September 3.-Reports received here from points on the west coast of South America indicate that conditions worse than anything known in many years now prevail as result of the European war The conflict virtually has halted sea transportation along the Pa cific coast of South America. thus put ting an end In large measure to the im- portation of many necessities of life. There Is reason to believe that many persons in the coast towns are in actual want as a result of the stagnation of business. and that thousands arc out of employment.
 Business in all cities as far south as Antofagasta, Chile. is declared to be virtually at a standstil. and a number of the largest important export houses are said to have ceased doing business while they await a resumption of better conditions.
 The proclamation of partial mora- torlum at Lima, Peru, permits banks to refuse payments in excess of 5 per cent of their deposits weekly, while the Pe- ruvian government has ordered the stop- page of the exportation of gold.
 Conditions at Guayaquil and other Ecuadorean ports as well as ports in Colombia are believed here to be equally bad judging from reports received from these localities.
 Ships are clearing from Balboa, the Pacific end of the Panama canal. with little cargo and few passengers and sev- eral vessels are being laid up at Balboa pending better traffic conditions.
 The business situation in Central. Amer ica is believed here to be little better than on the Pacific coast of South Amer ica

 ords today in the wheat mar
 ere was strong close at ss
 ents above last night. Corn rose 7s to 1 A cents net and oats ss to 1 cent. The outcome in provisions ranged from 25 cents decline to an advance of cents.
 English trade for the first time showed alarm over the breadstuff sup ply. British officials were reported as buying flour on a large scale, and both American and Canadian wheat in ca : ger request at Liverpool It also was reported Canada would remove the duty on wheat.
 1t was deemed significant that cash wheat here led the advance. Seaboard as we'll as gulf exporters were said to be active, especially as reports from there were that ocean freight rates were reduced 25c.
 In the last minutes of the session, however, the market scared above any previous figures of the year and at the final bell May delivery was not to be had for less than s1.25A as against S1.25 at the acme of the widest eN- citement of any advance before in the present war.
 Corn and oats, like wheat went to new high prices for the year. The outlook for a short yield had much to do with the bullishness of the corn market. Oats felt the stimulus of biz exports. The seaboard admitted that 500, 0OO0 bushels had been sold to for eigners.
 Realizing sales caused provisions to average lower In the end, though a reaction was taking place on account of the all around strength of grain.

Paris Foresee Victory

Paris Cable, September 1. to New York
 Times.
 stephen Pichons article in the Petit Journal represents the tone of today's s press. "The last official communique. D he says gives for the first time gem eral idea of the situation of our armies since the concentration has been finished. One may say that they nave not ceased fighting and that their resisting power is still good, as well IS their attacking energy Doubtless we have had serious reverses. but our line is still unpierced. Though beaten at certain points. we are able to hold fast. It is by holding fast that we shall win"
 The Figaro, comparing the latest French and British communiques, says.
 There is no contradiction between them. Any one reading them cannot fail to have his heart swell with hope. On the northern from alone the ex- treme left was momentariiy graVeiy inn periied, but is now safe, The centre is firm. The right drove back the enemy. The dominating feature of the report is the allusion to the enemy's heavy losses, showing that they are rislxing everything with the object of reaching Paris It is the supreme spasm to which we must devote supreme energy to render it pow erless."
 Beginnings of German Defeat"
 The Echo de Paris, in an editorial headed "Unshakable Confidence" says:
 ''The Germans have admitted that speed was matter of life or death for them. They calculated on reaching Paris on August 25. It is now September 1. and they are not here yet Should they come. what faces them? Their whole left flank would be pressed by power ful armies, and they would be threatened in the rear with being cut off from their base. Forced to weaken their invading army for the purpose of aiding Prussia against the Russians, how can they profit by their, sterile success? How can they fail to find here the beginnings of de- feat?'
