THE MOBNING OKEGOKIAN, SATURDAY, 'AUGUST 2, 1902. VICTORIANS WIN Goward and White Take Doubles Match. DEFEAT 'BETHEL AND CHEAL uovrnrd and Miss Carstens Capture Mixed Doubles Championship at Tennis Tournament Chal lenge Boondi Today. Yesterday's -work at tho tennis tourna ment was marked by the defeat of Bethel and Cheal by Goward and White In the finals of tho men's doubles contest, and the winning of the mixed doubles cHam plonBhlp by Goward: and Miss Carstens. All the other finals were played oft, so that all the ame today will consist of contests In the challenge championship round, or in other words, the culminating "struggles of the week. Victory tor Goward end. White. The finals In the men's doubles was one yof the finest exhibitions of tennis ever seen In Portland, and it was anybody's contest until the finish. Goward and "White won the first set. 7-5, eight of the jgumes being deuce. Cheal and Bethel took the next two games by scores of 6-2 4" Lelter nfter a high "ball. and 6-1, and it seemed to be all over but the shouting. Cheal was doing some beautiful lobbing and Bethel was smash ing everything in reach in a way that sent the cold shivers through their oppo nents, but the visitors were still in the ring and won the fourth set, 7-5. The sets stood two all, and the winners of the fifth would have the honor of con testing for the Ladd cup today against Goss and Lewis, who have held it during the list year, so it was a matter of crack tennis on both sides. The games stood three all, then four all, and finally Gow ard and White took the-two much-needed games, thus winning the set. match and the right to play against the Goss-Lewls team this afternoon. Bethel's smashes, Cheat's accurate lobbing. Goward's stead .ness and White's beautiful fore and back hand cross-court strokes were the fea tures of the contest. .The fact that the teams were very evenly matched can be seen when It is known that Bethel and Cheal won 26 games to their opponents' 23, though even this did not give them the match. ' Gorvard and Miss Cnrstens Win. The finals in the mixed doubles were by far the best matches ever seen in this city, and1 It was only after much hard playing that the Goward-Carstens. combi nation won from Cheal and Miss Atkin son. It was a double In fact as well as in name, for the ladles were a very impor tant factor, making some plays that would do credit ko first-class players of the opposite sexj Miss Atkinson Is very steady, and has a clear backhand stroke that stands her in hand many a point in a tight place. Miss Carstens has the making of a champion, and plays in a cool manner, serves well, and always uses good Judgment in directing her strokes. She saved the day for her team at sev eral critical points, and finally won the match by two pretty places. Messrs. Cheal and Goward played well and did their best to win the game for their re spective partners. The closeness of the contest Is not shown by the score of 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, for there were many deuce games that took a long time to settle. Either of the ladles could defeat two-thirds of the men players In Portland, and their sportsmanlike conduct-Is a pleasure to watch, second only to witnessing their good playing. Other Contests. Wlckersham defeated Lewis In the men's singles in a beautiful display of endur- W. A.. Bethel smashes at the net. ance. for It took no less than two hours and a half to settle the matter. The win ner was in turn worsted by Bethel, who thu3 secures the title of "runner-up" of the tournament, and will contest for the challenge cup today with Goward. Ewlng and Miss Strong played a good game in the mixed doubles, but were un able to win. Breeze and Leiter worked hard to win against Goward and White,, but the steadiness of the Victorians could not be shaken, and they were the victors by a score of 2-0. C-4, 6-2. Best Gnhies Tpday. Today's games will be the contests of the week. All previous struggles have been but to pick the man that was to stand against the men that won the cups at Uie tournament last year. Today the men that have wdn their finals will play against these holders and win if possible the cups for the ensuing year.

The original bet ting had been Green Line $100 and the field $30.

Stuard makUng no effort with Eider One. When the horses came out for the fourth heat, the Judges took Stuard out of the sulky and put Valentine, a local trainer and driver, up behind Elder One. Elder One took the fourth heat in 2:064, outpacing Green Line In the stretch. In the fifth heat. Elder One went to a break In the first turn and could not be set to pacing again.

Bit; Pitcher. Wiggs Keeps Portland From Scoring; For Seven -Innings Final Score 4-3. Pitcher WIggs won the game yesterday afternoon for the Helena team, score 4 to 3. Umpire Rankin was certainly off yesterday, especially on balls and strikes, and the spectators set up an "awful holler" at his work. Muller was de clared out on a ball which Rankin after ward acknowledged went foul. This came In the Inning when Portland was making the runs and If Muller had not FAST Myrtha Whips (H. H. been retired on that bad decision, the result might have been different. Tho game was as good as any average contest. For seven Innings Portland failed to get a man around the bags, while the Senators had crossed the plate for four runs. The same pitchers that were In the game Wednesday pitched yesterday. WIggs and WItbeck. Neither of them appeared to be In the same form I as he was m $he previous contest. While Witbeck pitched good ball he was not as strong as before and the Senators were able tp hit him harder. WIggs had plenty of speed and curves but l&otced control. Cunningham in the Field. The line-up presented by the Portland team was somewhat changed. Weed, in his slide during Thursday's match, threw his shoulder out of Joint and was unable to play yesterday, and may be out for some time to come. Harris was brought in from right field to cover the initial bag, while Cunningham, the new addition to the team, was put In the right garden. This was the cx-umplre's first appearance In the game with the Portland' nine. He created a favorable impression and was loudly applauded each time -that he came to the bat. He did not have a chance to show just what he could do In the field, as the only balls that came anywhere near him were stolen by Van Buren and Anderson. At the bat he got a hit the first time up and the second time he waited for four balls, and got them. Deisel. Anderson and Harris started Portland's fielding by making a fast double play. The other fielding features of the game were several running catches by van Buren and Wiggs' catching of a line fly from Cunningham's bat In tho ninth. The big fellow Just put out his right paw and the ball stopped there. Anderson played., a beautiful game for Portland, making a number of pretty stops and throws. In the eighth he Jumped in the air and pulled down a fly from Holly's bat. The run-making commenced in tho second inning when Shaffer hit out to second base. Anderson got tho ball but could not get It to first In time to get his man. An error by Witbeck, who failed to pick up Sullivan's bunt. put. two men on the bases with no out. Holly sacrificed each a notch further. Part ridge hit to Harris, who fumbled the ball and let the man reach first while Shaffer scored. WIggs hit to left field and scored Sullivan. In the fifth WIggs hit the ball past first for two bases and Hannlvan hit slow to Anderson. A wild pitch while Peeples was at the -bat allow ed WIggs to score.

WIggs was touched up then for four hits for a total of six bases, and three runs were scored. WItbeck started the work with a hit to right field. Muller followed by sending the ball along tho line to first .base. Tho ball went out before reaching the bag, but Rankin did not see It and called him out. Van Buren sent the ball through Peeples and scored Witbeck. An derson landed hard for three bases and brought Van Buren. A hit over Peeples head by Zeigler scored Anderson.

' ''' ' '"' iWlGGS, WHO WON YESTERDAY'S GAME FAST- RAGES AT.IRVINGTON SPEEDY HORSES CONTEST BEFORE MATINEE CROWD. Myrtha Whips Wins Free-For-All-Phil N. Takes 2t20 Trot Fa vorites Lose Dashes. The matinee season at Irvlngton Park was closed yesterday afternoon with a series of race3 which were aB favorable to the harness choices as they were to the running Held. Four heats, and one of them won by only half a head, were sufficient to land the victories for the favorite trotters and pacers, and the RACE. Norte (Cris Simpson.) two dashes left the pick of the bunch in positions that the horsemen and bet tors scarcely expected to find them. Oregon Boy, a great favorite, did man age to get a second place, but only after a lashing finish with Tom Bragg in what, 20 feet from the wire, appeared to be a dead heat. Myrtha Whips Win Free-For-All. The matinee was attended by an un usually large number of spectators, and among them were many ladles who took as much Interest in the events as the men. When the entries for the free-for-all lined up both sexe3 evinced more en thusiasm than at any time since tho races of the '90s. Even a false start was applauded, and when finally the horses were given the word by Presiding Judge Beckers and all went down In a bunch, there was an uproar. Starkay had the pole, with Prince Tom second-. Alta Norte third, and Myrtha Whlp3 on the outside. At the quarter Helman got the lead, although Simpson tried to head him off with whip and voice. From that time on it was Myrtha's race, and the struggle was for the second money. The pole was passed In 0:33 and the half In 1:04. Here Webb made a desperate effort for the hdnorsl Sending Tom for ward to the three-quarters. It looked for a few seconds as If he would cut a figure on the stretch, but Helman let out a couple of kinks and Whips sped onward with Alta Norte at the end of the sulky. On the last eighth Simpson swerved out of his courso and he finished a length in the rear. Starkay came In third and Prince Tom fourth. Time 2:16. As Simpson had gotten out of position he was sent to the end of the line and Starkay was given second place. All went off fairly In the second heat with Helman running away from the string and with Starkay not the best of seconds for a horse that has caused trouble for the best of them. The first pole was reached In 0:334 and then Simp son whipped up to the leader. Webb, by the timely application of the whip, sent Prince Tom ahead of Starkay and bqgan to play for the fence. But Starkay again moved up. There was a gap be tween him and the leader and Irwin started to close it up, and ho gave a lively exhibition of a man in the act of winning a race. One hundred feet from the wire he forced hl3 favorite and as Helman. believing that victory was cer tain, had pulled in he had a possible chance of winning out. But when Star kay poked his nose to the front Helman loosened his grip on the lines' and Myrtha crossed In 2:16. Alta Norte came In 4 TO 3. third and Price Tom fourth, and the two divided third and fourth money. Phil N. Wins 2t20 Trot. The 220 trot found Simpson and Hel- Jnan again opposed. the former with Phil N. and the latter witi Mack Mack. Baddeley brought out Electro phone and Misner Harry Marvin. Phil N. was the favorite and he sold well against the field. Helman drew the pole, Simpson, got second place, Misner third and Baddeley the outside. Marvin was unruly and a start was difficult. When finally they did get off Electro phono broke and all Baddeley could do wa3 to keep him from Jumping the" fence on the eighth. Mack Mack led the race, but he, was hotly pressed by Phil N. At the half Phil N. broke badly but Simpson brought him to his feet and the three quarters was a hummer. Helman, with all his driving ability, could not get away from tho youngster and on the stretch the two came down nose and nose. No race ever looked so much like a dead heat. Helman let out the reins and kept up a monotonous "Get there," and Simpson used both whip and lines. Thirty feet from the wire the winner could not be picked. Twenty feet away Phil N. had tne lead by a nose. Ten feet dis tant, in sympathy with Simpson's trium phant yell, he increased the lead by half a head and went under In 2:20. Marvin was third and Electrophone fourth. While close, the second heat had none of the exciting features of the first. With an even start Phil N. started to open a gap and he passed the quarter In 0:351s. Helman was close up and Misner selected the third berth, from which Baddeley dislodged hlra. The half was made In 1:0SU. and then Phil N. and Mack Mack started on their finish. The former woa out but he had to be pushed to 2:19 In order to make It. for Helman did not give up until the wire was passed. Electrophone was third and Marvin was fourth. Favorites Lose Dashes. The run of four and one-half furlongs was won by Leola Second, an 8-to-l shot B. C. Green and Pauline had been picked for winners but the best they could do was to find third and second places. Pau line did make a determined effort at the three-quarters but Dugan whipped up and landed Leola by two lengths. The half-mile dash was another sur prise for the favorites. Oregon Boy was the choice at S to 1. and at the start he looked like a winner. Everything ap peared to be In his favor until the stretch was reached, when Gaffney held Tom Bragg to the fence and got the lead by a bare nose. With whip and heels he urged the horse onward and he made the wire Just a head to the good. Oregon Boy was a panting second and Hank L., another favorite, was third. Between the heats motor-cycle exhi bitions were given by Ell Lee and R. E. BladgetL Bladgett made a mile in 2:03, Lee's machine was out of order and his best time wa3 2:25. Summaries of the Races.

L St. Louis took the SHORT TALKS ON AMERICA'S HIGHEST- GRADE PIANOS The Weber It is not necessary to argue th question of merit when Weber pianos are concerned. Every person who is acquaint ed with the history of pianos knows that the word "Weber" stands for all that Is best In piano construction. Those who are not acquainted with pianos simply need to in vestigate the distinguishing qualities of Weber Instruments to be convinced beyond a doubt that the Weber is the musical standard of the world. For over 50 years It has stood absolutely alone in the posses sion of that pure, rich and sym pathetic quality of tone, and to day it Is a finer, a better piano than ever before. The Weber Is as beautiful, as perfect an instrument as it is possible to produce, and Its won dciful wearing qualities make it a valuable asset after many years' use., when most other In struments are practically worth less. Besides the regular catalogue, styles w'e are showing Just now several of tho famous Weber art styles new and chaste de signs In grand and upright cases, in all varieties of beautiful woods. These artistic produc tions are creating unusual In terest in art circles, and. com bined with the wonderful Weber" tone, make an ideal combina tion.
