SALEM, Sept. 19. (Special.) As a re sult of the rain last night the track at the State Fair was not as fast today as it has been for the other races of the week, hut excellent results were attained. The opening race was the 2:40 trot, with four starters. Belladi and Lord Kitch ener were distanced in the first heat, which was taken by Harry Marvin, with Sweeden in second place. In the second hat the leading horses changed position, but Marvin took the next two heats. In the third heat Sweeden's sulky broke at the three-quarter pole, but she contin ued In the race, and when in front of the grandstand the sulky collapsed entirely. Threlkeld ras uninjured and held the horse. The 2:18 consolation pace for non-winners of the greater Salem stake was a two-in-three event, but required four heats to determine the winner. Leroux drove Francisco over the course In 2:174 for the first heat, Harry Hurst, Daniel J., OUie M., Adlmont and' Onille passing under the wire in the order given. In the second heat Daniel J. won the first place in 2:20, Hurst holding second, while Francisco dropped to third place. The third heat was a flno exhibition between Adlmont and Daniel J., the former taking the heat Jn 2:18. Jn this heat the other four starters were distanced. The final heat was a spirited one between the two remaining horses. Atdlmont passed be neath the wire first, but was disquali fied for Interfering with Daniel J. on the home stretch. The judges gave Daniel J. the race. Dr. Sherman took the five-eighth of a mile dash, with Adnor and The Maniac In second and third places. The half mile dash was covered byMeteora In 0:48. Him Brownell was crowded by Cora Goetz for second place. The most exciting race of the day was the concluding event, the three-quarters of a mile dash. There were six starters, and some time was lost in 3coring. Miss Rcmsen, Ihe favorite, got away well, and gained a good lead. As the three-quarter pole was approached Poretto urged Do reen forward, and Miss Remsen's lead was reduced. The race between the pair was a magnificent- one. After passing the three-quarter pole, Doreen expended his best efforts and gained the lead by half a length and kept the position until within a few yards of the wire, when the Fa vorite, ridden by Donovan, made a re markable spurt and fairly leaped Into the lead and finished first by a head. The race was generally pronounced one of the finest exhibitions of racing of the week.

Although the Frankfort decision Is conceded to 'be a knockout blow for boxing contests In Kentucky, there Is some belief In Louis ville that the fight will be held Monday night. Today's Injunction was against the Southern Athletic Club, ami Mr. Gray and the latter announced tonight that his club had severed all connection with the event and submitted to the court's decree. This, 'of course, leaves the field open for some other promoter to take" up the con test, as neither pugilist was enjoined by today's decision, nor was a ban placed upon boxing contests in Louisville.

The ball went on Into the bleachers, and the Portland players that were on bases walked around, while Andrews cussed Mr. Johnson and sent him from the field, put ting Harmon In for the remainder of the game. From the beginning it was the Web feet's game. They placed gilt-edge ball and did not makeAa single error, while only cne of them struck out. The three fielders got everything that came Into the gardens, and it was noticed that whenever a Tacoma man knocked a high fly he did not even try to start to first, for he knew there would be no use. for he would be caught out -J?efore he could ever get there. The three men who came up In the first half of the first never got so much as a smell cf first base, and their blue suits got severar shades more so; when they saw the big "0" 'on the scoreboard. It all looked good for the locals, and they went In In their half to do things. Muller got a free ticket to the initial station, and as he waltzed along there was a smile of triumph on his face. Long- Van Buren stepped up to Johnson, who was doing the tossing, and the first ball that came his wiy hit him on the arm. He, too, got a ticket, and Muller went on to sepond. Weed hit a little slqw grounder that 1-ounctd and twisted along across the grass between pitcher and third. Some body grabbed it, and It flew after Weed, 'but the first baseman for the Tacoma bunch wasn't high enough for It, and it went by him on the hike. Muller went Ihome for the first tally of the day, and Weed and van liuren stopped at secona and third respectively. Anderson hit the prettiest hit of the day, and the two men on bases hastened home, making three that inning. Tfcere was a good chance for a few more, but Stovall went out at first and Sammy knocked a liner near third that looked as though it was going to be a hit. which McCarthy handled with such quick action that he got Anderson out at third. Sammy got to second, but he went out a moment later, when Murdock knocked a grounder to third. Nobody got past first In the second, but In the third the fun began again for Port land, but not for Tacoma. Van Buren and W.eedi both went out, and Andrews einlled Just to show the Portland specta tors how ear-y their team was. The smile was short-lived, however, for Andy hit, and while Johnson was throwing Stovall four balls he stole second. With these two men on bases Sammy hit his hardest and started around the circuit on the run, his legs keeping time to the cheers of the crowd. The ball cape in to Johnson and he made a bad throw to Andrews at third to catch Anderson, who was nearly there. The Tacoma manager couldn't get his mlts on It securely, and It went by him, while Andy went home for score No. 4. Andrews rushed after the elusive sphere, ?nd got it before Stovall could leave for home. He was red-eyed at the way the pitcher had thrown the ball, and he yelled something to him, and then threw the ball that had caused all the trouble right at him, point blank. Mr. Johnson stepped aside, and the ball went on to the right bleachers, where It became blocked and Stovall and Sammy walked home, making the score 6 to 0. Andrews started for the pitcher with wrath In his eye. and told him to get out of the box as fant as he could. Johnson walked to the bench and Harmon was ordered In in his place. He didn't show up for much, for the first man, Murdock. went to first on balls, and the second, Delsei, hit. Wltbeck "hit a grounder, and It was fielded so quickly that Murdock went out at third. Andrews went for the tmfortunate pitcher on the bench and told him to make tracks for the hotel, and his words were bitter with frost. Johnson didn't like it a bit, and didn't hesitate to say so, but the manager's or der prevailed, tnd Johnson started to hike out. He picked up his batcase,- and yelled: "You have teen this way all Summer, and I'm not going to stand for it." Andrews waved his hand with a sar castic gesture, and Johnson climbed the vail, and started for the nearest car line. Tacoraa made her only run In the fourth. Nagle got first on balls, stole second, went to third on Hutchinson's hit, and came home on Ardrews' fly. In the last of the seventh Muller and Van Buren went out the first -thing, and the boy at the scoreboard got out a "0" to put up. He was a little previous, how ever, for Weed made a single, and Andy got a hit by a pitched ball. Stovall knocked a grounder to first, but that gen tleman dropped It. when Portland's tall first bcsemin got close, and Stovall was safe. "Harmon went wild, and gave Sam-, ray first on bal-'s, forcing in Weed for tally No. 7. These bases were full, and Mur dock went in for a hltf but he couldn't make It. He struck out. and the chances 4ended for the inning, and Ed Lyons was so disgusted that ho picked up his cushion and went off home. . . Thp only event. of the last two. innings was the neat double by Harmon! Zalusky and. Hutchinson, that 3topped Portland In an inning where they might "have secured two runs with ease. Wltbeck and Harmon each struck a man out, and Wltbeck allowed only four hits. Each of the Tacom.i pitchers allowed three hits, and their team was responsible for five errors, most of 'them at critical times. Stovall showed up better yesterday, and gives promise of being a valuable addition before the season is over. Wltbeck is coming up In the lattlng line, and Mur dock is snowing that he is a sprinter as well as a good right fielder. McCarthy is a crack umpire, and runs the field in the best of order. ' No kicking will be tolerated by him, and the players know what they are bucking up against when they begin to sass him. He Is in the game every minute, and not a play escapes his eye.

Captain, of Pendleton Team Is Re warded for Good Work. The baseball fans of Pendleton today ma.de Robert P. Brown, captain of the Pendleton ball team, a present of a hand some gold watch as a token of their ap preciation for the efficient services which he rendered during the season Just closed. The watch was nicely engraved: "Pre sented to R. P. Brown by Baseball Fans, Pendleton, Oregon, 1902." Brown was "up In the 'air," the first time this season, but managed to express his sincere thanks for the present. While a great .deal of credit Is due to the energetic work of Manager Cohen In looking after the business interests of the Baseball Association, the fact that the lo cal team played winning ball was due greatly to the able manner In which Cap tain Brown handled the nine on the field. He succeeded In getting and holding to gether a lot of young fejlows who, in ad dition t6 being able to play ball, could conduct themselves as gentlemen. All the members of the ball team have left town, with the exception of Captain Brown. Several are playing with the Northwest League teams. It Is a fact that all the men who played on the local team were at some time during the season offered positions in the larger, towns of the Northwest. Ralph Hayshas gone East to attend college. During the time he was with the Pendleton team he pitched 16 games and lost but one, which Is a splendid record for a 20-year-old boy. Salisbury and Senilis are now with tho Butte team, while Adams Is playing with Portland. WIrtx Answers Shute. FOREST GROVE. Or., Sept. 16. (To the , Editor.) In answer to the article of A. C fanute, manager of the Diamond w. rlne. of HUlsboro, In The Oregonlan of today, giving the reason why the game of baseball which was scheduled to have been played here last Sunday between the Diamond W. and the Cornelius teams was called off, I will state that what he writes Is false. The following are the reasons why the came, which was to have been the first of a scries of four, was not played: Shute and I made arrangements for a series of games between the teams specified, Shute agreeing to play men only who had played In the Diamond W. team this season, with the exception of Mc Burney and Slaven. who. It was agreed should be the battery for the Diamond W.s. Late Saturday night Shute tele phoned me that unless I allowed him to play Reed, of the Inland Empire League, on first base, he would not allow his club to play; hence the match was called off. I will add further that the stockholders In the baseball grounds here will wager -from 50 to $500 that the Cornelius team can win from the Diamond W.s any time they desire a game, or a series of games, and I will allow Shute to select his nine from any of the players who have played in the Diamond W. Club this season. JOHN WIRTZ. Manager Cornelius Nine. Lipton Confers With Yacht Clab. BELFAST. Sept. 19.

Judges Hold Prizefight. Is Contem plated, and the SoainerR Clnb Gives Up the Contest. FRANKFORT. Ky., Sept. 19. The in junction granted yesterday by Judge Em mett tFIeld, of the Jefferson Circuit Court, restraining the Southern Athletic Club and others from pulling off the McGov-ern-Corbett contest for the feather-weight championship of the world at Louisville on Monday evening next, was sustained by Associate Judge James D. White in the Court of Appeals this evening, and the contest will not be held in Kentucky. Judge White Invited the full bench of the State Court to sit with him and hear the case, which all but one member did, and the decision Is one of the court, al though the motion to dissolve the injunc tion was made before a single member of it. A majority of the court expressed the opinion that the glove contest which was enjoined In the lower court Is a prizefight, and It is Immaterial whether the purse was to be evenly divided. The six mem bers of the court sitting divided evenly on the most Important legal question raised WON BY SAM BOWERS. in the case that of whether the chancel lor had power-by jurisdiction to restrain the commission of a criminal act. The opinion of the court is brief. It reads: "The majority of the court who heard the application to dissolve the Injunction of Judge Field are of the opinion that the contest which has been enjoined Is a prlzSfight, 4nd that It Is not material whether the victor in the contest is to receive more of the reward offered than the vanquished. , "The court Is divided equally on the question whether the chancellor has pre ventive power to restrain the holding of such a contest. Chief Justice Guffey and Judges .White and Burnam holding the negative, and Judges Durell, Hobson and Oreaf holding the affirmative. The mo tion to dissolve is therefore denied." The decision Is, so lawyers say, so far reaching that It will prevent all boxing contests In Kentucky In the future. Robert C. Gray, manager of the South- ernClub, tonight declared the contest off, so far as his club was concerned. Mr. Gray announced that the $30,000 worth of tickets which have been sold for the bout will be redeemed at any bank. The South ern Athletic Club is out about $5000. In cluding the forfeit of $2500 put up to in sure the bringing off of the contest. At midnight It was announced that the fight was off' absolutely and uncondition ally. An attempt wasmade to have the two men appear In a six-round bout at one of the theaters, but this was objected to by McGovern's manager, and, after a conference of several hours' duration be tween, several sporting men. the Idea of having the two men appear was given up. GRIFFIN SECURES COUNSEL. Man Who Killed Another in a Quar rel Thinks He Will Win Out. GRANT'S PASS. Sept. 19. (Special).
