THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1903. 7 FIRST GAME LOST Browns Present Saints With 7-3 Victory. PABST MAKES CLEAN HOME RUN San Francisco Team Is Oatbatted, bat - Ragged Work at Second and Batter's Wlldness De feat the Portlanders. Reealta of Yesterday's Games. San Francisco, 7; Portland, 3. Lcs Angeles, 2; Seattle, 1. Sacramento. 7: Oakland, 4. SAN FRANCISCO. March 26. (Staff correspondence.) It was not written In the book that any of the visiting teams In the Pacific Coast League should win away from home. Five thousand of the faithful were present this afternoon when the Browns presented Henry Harris Saints with the initial game of the series by the score of 3 to. 7. The fans, for the moct part, saw baseball as it should be played, but they admitted at the end that the game was little short of a gift. The Browns outbatted the Saints by two city blocks, but Zir.ssar's ragged work at second and Butler's lack of control were handicaps too great to overcome. Today's game, however, should -not be taken as a fair sample of what the Browns can do, for It is safe to eay that at no time again during the season will the team as a whole put up another such game. Both president Marshall and Cap tain Vigneux, even though they lost, are satisfied with the work of the team. They feel assured that Just as soon as Ander son can go into the game and the men get over their bruises that the players will win enough games to keep them well up in the first division. The game up to the seventh Inning was no one's game. The Browns had tied the score in the fourth canto, and It looked as If Butler had settled down and had gotten over his stage fright. But the trouble was brewing. Zlnssar failed to hold Schmeer's short throw, and the error allowed Meany and Krug to gallop home. This seemed to take the steam out of the Browns, for Smith, Nadeau and Andrews went oat in the order named on easy In field hits. Pabst Stakes Home Ron In Seventh. In the fatal seventh chapter hope of winning fled from the breasts of the Browns. Vigneux neatly gathered in Meany's bunt, but King hit a line drive over second, and Irwin's chest stopped one of Butler's lnshoots. This placed two of the Saints on cushions ready and wait ing for Pabst's homer over the fence. Butler had fooled the big flret baseman whose name appears on bottled goods con taining Milwaukee's famous beverage, with a couple of slow ones. The slab ar tist for the Browns sought to fool him once more, but. alas for the fooling. Pabst caught the Spalding square on the nose and it sailed away and over the fence, where it makes an acute angle, and it never stopped until it knocked the paint off the house which stood just beyond. Other home runs will be made at Hank Harris' baseball park before the season closes, but it is safe to sa- none will be as neatly and completely done as the one of today. Captain "Vigneux and Zlnssar were the only two Browns who failed to solve Mr. Hodson's slants. .Smith, who is a splen did free hitter, swatted out three beautiful driven two of which were good for two stations. Van Buren, too, had his bat ting eye with him. In the eighth inning he nailed one of Hodson's swift ones and sent it to the rlfcht-fleld fence. Nadeau and Andrews also found one each to their liking. Pull-Em-Up Shaffer connected for two safe blngles, one of which brought in a run. .The big guardsman with his bat "Lizzie" made an instant hit with the crowd. He was brimming over with ginger and his comedy lines kept the fans in a continuous uproar. He played splendid ball and was the life of the team. Score of the Game.

Umpire Levy. Players Parade the City. The weathor man was on his good be havior and the day could not have been better for playing ball had it been made to order. The players of both teams paraded through the principal streets of the Bay City about an hour before the game was called. Managers Marshall and Harris and Umpire Rube Levy headed the procession, followed by a brass band and the players. After the parade the teams went back to Recreation Park. The Browns were first to take the field for the preliminary prac tice, and as Captain Vigneux sent his men over the field, the band struck up. "Oh. I Don't Know," and the crowd in the blcochera. determined to be on hand early, took up the air. When the Saints came on the band played "We "Won't Go Home L'ntil Morning," but they did. and they went home happy. J. T. Moram president of the Pacific Coast League, a Southpaw of the old, old school, pitched theflrst ball over the plate. And how tho great crowd cheered him as the balmy breeze caught his gray whiskers and sent them waving over his shoulders. Those hearing the mighty shout that went up, not knowing that It was a ball game might of thought the cheers were for President Roosevelt. In stead of tho president of a baseball league Mr Moran Is a wealthy Oakland merchant. His name Is synonomous with baseball on the Coast, and it might be well to mention In passing that he serves as president of the Pacific Coast League without salary. He is the head of the game because he loves It, not because he expects to wax wealthy by promoting the sport. Brevras Heartily Cheered The cheering of the "BOX) people waa not all for Mr. Moran. They werer Impartial and If anything they gave to the Browns a greater hand during the game than they did the Saints. They even set to scolding Umpire Levy for calling Van B urea's hit that kicked up the whitewash on the base line near third base, a foul, so taking It all in all, even though the Browns lost their first game, they were not disgraced, and It will be an event in baseball history that will be remembered in San Francisco. Eagle and Vigneux will be the battery for the Browns tomorrow, and for the Saints Whalen will do the twirling- and Leahy will be the back stop. W. G. M. CLOSE GAME AT LOS JLXGELES.

T. J. Furey, a former Portland boy, ar rived In Portland yesterday, after s lengthy absence, to see his folks and to introduce Fred Russell, the heavyweight fighter, whose manager he is. Russell Is a fine, tall, broad-shouldered specimen of a fighter, and steps into the ring weigh ing from 06 to 208 pounds. The two men are to spend a day or two In Portland, visiting old inenas and making new ones, and If nothing transpires In the way of making a match with some likely fighter, it Is possible that they will leave for Butte, Mont. v e would like a match specially with Gus Ruhlln or 'Kid' Mc Coy, remarked Manager Furey. "We are also anxious to meet Jack Johnston. of Los Angeles, or any likely man. We won't be afraid of Fltzslmmons or Jef fries, cither. Russell beat Paddy Maher in six rounds, and got the best of his con test witn iua jacv-oy. lie nested Joe Choynskl In four rounds, and Hank Grif fin In 34. March 14 he beat George Mc- Swayne at Newman. Cal.. In 15 seconds, We want a match with some good man. and arc willing to put up from $1000 to J2500. Russell Is anxious to meet 'Kid' Carter, and will guarantee to stop him In 15 rounds or forfeit the money, and beat him at anything he wants on the side, say from $500 to $1000. From here we go to Butte. Mont., and any letters sent me at the place care of general delivery at the postofflce will be attended to. My headquarters are at New York and Chi cago." YOIXG GIBBS IS ALL IX. Fights McCarthy to a Dravr and 5ott Will Rest. SALT LAKE, March 26. The best Young Gtbbs. of Cleveland, could do with Jerry McCarthy, of Butte, tonight was a draw at the end of the 20th round. McCarthy went down and almost out in the tenth from a left In the stomach, and In the 16th went down twice, the gong saving him. Glbbs, however, who had been badly punished by McCarthy's left, was unable to finish his man and McCarthy fought surprisingly well during the remaining rounds. "I am all In." said Glbbs after the de cision. "I have a forfeit up to fight Mar tin Duffy at Butte next month, but I am going to forfeit and go out on a farm for three or four months. I have fought 16 battles now without breaking, and I was so stale tonight that I am going to quit for a while." SEW SHAMROCK FINISHED. Placed Alongside Saamrock I for " Sake of Comparison. GLASGOW. March 26. The fitting out of Shamrock III Is practically finished. She was towed to Gourock Bay today to have her sails stretched. It is expected that she will have a trial spin March 2S. The cup challenger was berthed along- side Shamrock !, which gave the specta- : tors a fine opportunity of noting the great tutieraice in aesuras or tne two vacnts. The challenger appears -to have a longer mast man bnamrock L but the difference is so alight that it Is almost imperceptible from the shore. The Shamrock TTT main sail alone weighs 2S00 pounds. ATHLETICS ARE OVERDOSE. President Batler, of Colsrabla, Says Stedeats Play Too Mack. NEW YORK March 26. President Nleh- olas Butler, of Columbia, has srnuM rnn- I eiderable discussion among the students at j that university and elsewhere by a state- A;ent In an undergraduate paper that ath letics nowadays are being overdone. J "Twenty-one years ago." said Presl- dent Butler, "the proper proportions be- j tween work and play were better observed than now. and athletics were genuine sports, not occupations.' He goes on to say that the athletes are too much In the public eye; that they rush to the newspapers with their squabbles and their successes, and that their IKE BCTLER, WHO PITCHED FOR PORTLAND IX THE OPEMXG GAME. achievements are lauded like the labors of Hercules. , "He la taught for a few brief years," President Butler continues, "to look at life through a magnifying glass, and when the glass Is taken away from him on the opening of commencement day things look small and tame indeed." G rim's Team Incorporates. Articles of incorporation of the Port land National Baseball Club were filed yesterday In the County Clerk's office by J. J. Grim. U. G. Venator, Charles Emmet Drake and Peter Hobklrk. The capital stock Is (10,000.

Feared They Have Been Frozen in Ice of Xortli Canadian Coast. TST. JOHNS. N. F., March 26. None of the vessels of the sealing fleet has re turned to port, although they have been gone 17 days. It Is feared that the ves sels have either been frozen Into the floes or forced Into the northern bays remote from any telegraph station. Much anx iety prevails, because It Is very unusual for the fleet to be absent so long without being reported. The weather Is extremely severe, being marked by furious gales and Intense frosts. The sealing crews must have suffered greatly, even If they have escaped disaster. MISS HILL TO CHRISTEN First of Great Xorthera Ships Soon to Be Lannched. NEW LONDON. Conn., March 25. It was , announced today by the officials of the Eastern Shipbuilding Company that the first of the big cargo ships building for the Great Northern Railroad at Groton would be launched on April IS.

To the West Judge Parker Is a non- entity. Perhaps no better or more forc ible Illustration of the truth of this state ment can be given than to reproduce a portion of an editorial appearing recently In the Omaha World-Herald. While this paper Is an ardent Bryan supporter, its constituency is such that it cannot be considered as at all likely to oppose the regularly nominated candidate, whoever he may be. The editorial was a com mentary on an editorial appearing previ ously In the New York World, which de clared that "no Democratic candidate for President has yet loomed sufficiently large In the Western part of the country to attract National attention." The World-Herald responded: That depends altogether upon what tha World means by the word "loomed." The average Democrat has a fairly accurate Idea concern ing the views which Mr. Blackburn, of Ken tucky; Mr. Stone, of .Missouri, or Mr. Harrison, of Illinois, tor Instance, entertain on public questions. To be sure, no newspaper has un dertaken to push the very eminent claims of any of these gentlemen, and yet the World, while rejecting as apparently unworthy of con sideration any of the claims which these men may have, is engaged in urging as the Presi dential nominee of 1004 a man who never sup ported a Democratic National ticket except when be was the nominee for President, and another gentleman. Mr. Parker, of New York, concerning whose opinion on public questions no Democrat Is In a position to speak. The last sentence correctly describes the situation. In calling at newspaper offices throughout the states mentioned as In cluded In the tour of investigation, your correspondent was almost without excep tion asked the question, "Who Is this Judge Parker?" With the press unedu cated as to his qualifications for office, with less than two years in which to make him and his characteristics known to the people, It would seem to be the height of folly for the Democratic party to nominate him for the Presidency. His nomination would result, beyond perad- venture, in the states Included in your correspondent 8 itinerary remaining In the Republican column. Western antagonism to the East Is rap idly disappearing. In view of this re gion's marvelous development and prom ised permanent prosperity, the Western disposition as regards the East has grown charitable. In consequence, that spirit which two and six years ago called for a Western man to head the ticket has been dissipated. And while this feeling exists the Democrats are In a humor to go as far East as the geographical lines, combined with available Presidential tim ber, will permit- Inasmuch as Massachu setts is presenting a man whose conserva tism and whose all-Americanism are well known, whose name has hitherto been be fore the public In a. favorable aspect, and whose characteristics are as well known and approved among his party members In California as In Maine, In North Da kota as In Texas, the Western Democrats are well content to follow the leadership of the Bay State candidate, Richard 01 ney. Cannulas for Vice-President. From the Republican standpoint, an un dercurrent of feeling undoubtedly exists that treachery Is going on In Washington. President Roosevelt, notwithstanding the feeling existing In the forest-reserve states, possesses the hearts of the West ern Republicans. Allegations appearing In the Eastern papers to the effect that certain of the foremost leaders of the party are engaged in machinations against him are aropg that spirit existing in the West which causes Its possessor to rash to the aid of the assailed. Confi dence Is supreme that President Roose velt will overcome all occult and open opposition, and will receive the nomina tion. Such, indeed, is the depth of confi dence that attention is almost exclusively turned to the candidate for the secondary position. Concerning his geographical lo cation, not an expression of discord ex ists. He must be of the West, and up to the present time but one man has re ceived more than cursory mention Gov ernor A- B. Cummins, of Iowa. The close similarity In political ideas between Presi dent Roosevelt and Governor Cummins, added to the remarkably similar personal characteristics of these two men. have caused them to be associated in Western minds as eminently suited to jointly make the race for the Presidential positions. It cannot be gainsaid that the nomina tion of these two men will be of advan tage to the Republican party an advan tage which the Democrats can only equal ize by caution In their own nominations, especially as conditions presage more of personalities than ordinarily occur. The matters so far discussed affecting the political situation have been of a peculiarly Internal character. From these statements It may he gathered that, if the campaign. Is conducted along lines which briror National Questions down to their relation with state interests, the Re- publican party possesses a powerful ad vantage. Reiteration may be pardoned it such general discussion. Continued negligence of Western demands regarding th three Important questions, land-leasing, forestation and the razing of Illegal fences, will largely militate to destroy this advantage. Wisdom as to the fourth quesaon. regarded from an Internal stand point, the selection of candidates, will equalise conditions arising from the con duct it a campaign of personalities, should such occur. Passing to Questions of exclusively Na tional character, one may be dismissed with but few words. Imperialism is a cry which does not appeal to the masses. The Coast States especially view the pres ent condlthns in the Orient with satisfac tion, as presaging rich emoluments for their businets interests. Trade expansion supersedes Ue question of the rights of a ( Interest la Trust 'Issue. Second to tie most Important of the National questtons Is that pertaining to the growth of the power of trusts. Legis lation calling for- publicity of the opera- i tlons of monopolies or gigantic aggrega- tlons of capital, il must be said, is looked J at tiskance by the general Western public j Hov such publication as Is provided for j will affect the relations between the mo- nopollstlc organizations and the purchas- Ing public Is not generally understood. The public Is sufficiently Informed as to the -attitude of the rconoplies toward It. i If no establishments exist from which j purchases can be made except the trust ; house, the public understanding cannot j conceive the benefit to te derived by the : public from the publication of the profits j on the prices which the pub'.ic pays. Yet ! it must be said In favor of "publicity" legislation.- that it is looktd upon as an j experiment, the results of which will be new legislative enactments. If the legis- I latlon proves beneficial during the 18 or SO months prior to the PresUentlal elec tion, the Republican party will without doubt profit by the late legislation. If. however, no change in present conditions occur, and the public finds Itself at the mercy of existing aggregations of capital, the Republican party will as assuredly stand charged with having failed to con serve the Interests of the people, and will lose strengtii commensurate with the bur dens Imposed on the people by the trusts. On these two National questions, there fore, a period of expectancy must elapse before a decision Is reached by the public The Western people, while quick to form Judgment, are also cautious In their In vestigations of matters bearing on public affairs. To say what view they will take regarding the trust situation would be to hazard a guess. The parties very appar ently stand equal chances on this question. because an intensity of opposition to trust control does exist. The first legislation intended to operate as a curb to their power is of Republican origin. If It Is successful In purpose, the Importance of the question will have been reduced. All Want Tariff Reform. The most important and therefore the most interesting question which the West ern people are considering is the tariff sit uatlorv In the selection of Presidential candidates much of acrimonious debate over this question may be avoided. For instance. If the Democrats should nominate Richard Olney and some equally conservative and well-known Democrat, and the Republicans should nominate Theodore Roosevelt and A. B. Cummins, the discussion would be reduced to the simple proposition: Will Roosevelt and Cummins ue sustained in their tariff views by a Republican Congress,' should that party continue in supremacy in the legis lative body? The Western people are practically united for tariff division. No truthful denial can be made of this statement, though politicians may consider It neces sary to refute it. With Roosevelt and Cummins at the head of the Government the great majority of Republicans will be satisfied that needed tariff modifications will be made, an antagonistic element of their own party in Congress alone stand ing in the way. If Olney is nominated, such is the confidence reposed in him by all partisans that that business con fidence so essential to a continuance of prosperity will not be Interrupted, should the prospects for his election appear bright, or should bis election actually oc cur. It may easily be seen that such a con dition practically places the result In the hands of the spellbinders. They who have a power of creating confidence that a Republican Administration will bring about the desired tariff changes greater than that possessed by their opponents to establish a fear that revision of the tariff will not be affected by the friends of the tariff, will retain the present support of the Republican party. If no more tariff legislation is secured than has been cre ated by the late Republican Congress, the Democratic spellbinders will unquestion ably have an advantage. Effect of Xew Settlers. Due consideration must be paid to the new population of these Western States. The addition of a few hundred to the population of any of them, except Cali fornia. Colorado and Oregon, can change tho political complexion of these states, provided the incoming residents of the coming year are of the Democratic faith. Inasmuch as immigration's tide has set toward the West this season In far greater volume than at any similar season for years past. It is a conservative estimate to say that 20 months hence will see an addition of more than 100,000 people scat tered among these states. In a forecast of the election of 1900 your correspondent called attention to the great addition made to the population of South Dakota. As a large majority of these Immigrants came from Iowa, the correspondent based his estimate that the state would go Republican by S000 to 10.000 upon the character of the immigration. The result showed the Justice of the esti mate, although the prediction was much criticised by Western Democratic papers. The immigration now setting in toward tha West Is of Indiscriminate previous location and consequent variety of political faiths. It is therefore impossible to fore tell the political changes which will occur, if- any. In the 1S04 election, until next Fall's election shall have occurred. If In that election National issues shall be at stake, a reasonably accurate forecast of the Presidential election may be made. Until that time the only value of these political conjectures lies In the Informa tion conveyed as to now present sentiment i appears and how it may be fostered or trnvxi. That nrevalllntr sentiments TOav De- changed is to present an abstract ) proposition. To say that they will change would be to say that the Democratic ora tors possess more power than do the Re publican, provided the two tickets named be placed In the field, or that the Re publican party will have been proven to have failed to live up to Its promises. Tariff a Means to an End. In what manner tariff changes- should be made to conform to the wishes of the Western people Is a subject too compli cated and extensive to permit more than a general statement. While the spirit of manufacture pervades the West, the West Is not yet Interested In the tariff on manufactured goods as a manufacturer. 9iO sssssssssssKSSW ' ' ' ' 1 is Dr. W. Norton Davis.

To Itemize the articles on which the West would be willing to have con cessions granted would require a repro duction of the list of prohibited goods produced or manufactured exclusively In the Orient and South America. Summarizing the situation, It may be said that those Western States are sus ceptible to change; that the cause or foundation for change lies with the atti tude of the Republican party. The wis dom or Ignorance or Indifference of Its leaders will sustain or break that party's power. Perspicacity of Democratic lead ers may lead the Republicans Into error on the Internal or National questions facing the Western people. A "break" like that made a few days ago by Senator Francis E.

The failure of Congress to pass the ad mission bill, although both the great par ties In all of the state platforms adopted in the West declared vigorously in favor of the admission of the three territories as states, settled the aspirations of Quay for the Republican leaderslhp, but it has unquestionably left a- bitter taste in the Western mouth. But the changes to which these states are susceptible will, if created a$ all, be secured only after a sterner battle than the Democratic party has yet fought In the West. DAILY CITY STATISTICS.
