THE OREGOSIAS. THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1903. SHAFFER JUMPS TO BUTTE BROWSS' FIRST-BASEMAN SEEKS XEW TEAM-MATES. Fearing Release, He Makes the First Move-Sew Player Has Been Signed In the East. Charles Shaffer, -who. until last night, -was the Urst guardian of the Browns, packed his glove and his "Lizzie" In hla grip and after securely attaching springs to his heels. Jumped to Butte. Less than three months ago Shaffer, -who was then captain of the Helena team, jumped to Join the Browns, and now he has again taken the hurdle. Shaffer has played good baseball, but since Joining the Browns he has been off In his batting and fielding. He knew this and fearing the ax was about to fall, he decided to take time by the proverbial fore lock and get out Shaffer is a good baseball player, but the Pacific Coast company was too fast for him and while he tried hard to catch stride with the pace set by Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sac ramento, he failed to do .so. His work while at home was decidedly off color, but It was not because he did not always play at his best. His experience with the Browns has been of much value and he will undoubtedly be a tower of strength to Butte, and batting against the average pitchers in that league he will soon be crovidlng his way to the top of the batting average column. Just who will play at first for the Browns this afternoon has not been de cided upon. The management yesterday. Just as soon as it was learned that Shaffer had decided to Jump, signed another player for first bas. Just at present the name of this player Is withheld, but he comes recommended as a star of the first water. He will reach Portland in time to take part in the Sunday game. Last season this man is said to have batted over 300 and has a fielding average that ranks him xnong the best in the business. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE. Yesterday's Scotch. Los Angeles.

George Gardner was given the decision over Martin Hart, at the end of the 12th round, in their fight before the Southern Athletic Club tonight. Hart, at the end of the 12th round, alleged that his right hand had been broken, and gave up the fight. Hart put up a good strong fight, but Gardner was much fast er and landed oftener. Both were very weak at the finish. The fight was to have gone 30 rounds, at catch weights. Hart weighed 176 pounds. Gardner 164. It was still anybody's fight In the 12th, In spite of the fact that Gard ner was the cleverer. He hit Hart as often as he desired, but bis blows lacked steam. Hart surprised the crowd by al leging his right hand was broken, and his seconds threw up the sponge. Hart was badly battered about the face, while Gard ner was unmarked.

As the result of a duel fought at Wharton over Rosa Latzsky. an 18-year-old Hungarian girl, who told her suitors that they would have to fight for her, Henry Waldee Is in the hospital in a badly damaged condi tion. Rosa helped to arrange the duel, which was to take place with clubs. She watched her admirers beat each other until neither could stand, and then she departed with another young man, and they were married by a Justice.

Parry, presi dent of the National Association of Man ufacturers, addressed the convention of Piano Manufacturers today. "The never ending present season of strikes," said Mr. Parry, "and the demands of organ ized labor are arousing fears that chaos in place of order will soon be the rule." He condemned conciliation za now carried out as unjust, because it simply meant taking the demands of the union and scaling them down one-half. Mr. Parry said Immediate organization of manufac turers to combat the unjust demands of labor unions was the solution of the problem. End of Once Prominent Attorney. SEATTLE. May 13.

But I'm broke like tho rist of thim."' and the speaker slapped his jeans in a mournful manner, for there was no Jingle therein. By the time tho most Of 'the 2300 were seated, there was a buzz and a hum of voices, as the spectators talked over the chances of the two men. Suddenly several dusky damsels came AX EXPERT'S VIEW OF THE FIGHT. About 3500 people some dyed-tn-tha wool sports, and others betwixt and be tweenJourneyed out to the Exposition building, last night, to see what they thought were two of the cloverest boys of their weight that ever stepped Into the roped arena mix things up. What they saw was a chocolate-colored v-r-ltablo fighting machine, who made good the reputation that preceded him of knowing the game from A to Z. At no time, from the sound of the gong until Martin Denny threw up the sponge In the ninth round did the clever Austra lian. Tracey, have a look in. It was simply a case of his being outgeneraled and outclassed at all stages of the con test. Both men looked to be In the pink of condition. Tracey throughout the en tire nine rounds foughtfor the body and with a. very low crouch, which Gans wasn't slow to take advantage of by using a left-hand uppercut to great effect. True, Tracey did most of the leading, but that was the colored lad's game. But what's the use of going into de tails? .Tracey was hopelessly out classed, and there is no questioning the fact that no matter what kind of a battle he would ' have cut out, Gans would have outfought him.

They were brazen In their manner, and their appearance resembled a few black clouds on a clear sky. Their entrance attracted universal at tention from the impatient crowd, and TRACEY'S SECONDS THREW UP TUB OUT TOMMY TRACEY by H. if. Smith, Staff Photographer. by the time they had been safely landed In their seats. Tommy Rellly showed up with his seconds. In another minute George Memsic, better known as Fltzpatrlck, was in the ring with Rellly, and the crowd cheered vo ciferously for the little man who stood off Champion Young Corbett for four rounda a few weeks ago. He was a prime favorite from the beginning, and the spectators waited Impatiently for the first gong to sound. Preliminary Fosght Without Resin. "We won't start till we get some resin," announced Memslc's second, and the crowd groaned at the thought of sending down town for resin. A way out of the difficulty was found, however, and the boys went on without the resin. The dusky lasses were not the only ones present. There were Councllmen, State Senators, a United States Senator, and even higher officials from Salem. The elite and bon ton were In full force, and glad they were to be on hand. Young Peter Jackson was a great object of admiration for the multitude. Peter's cranium Is shaped somewhat on the pattern of a six-Inch shell, painted black, with a bump on the top In the place for the percussion cap. "It looks like a chunk of cannel coal," observed one "gent." "He ought to lick anything," announced another man. "Why. If anybody ever hit him, the blow would glance off. ' His head has got Just three sides, like a pyramid." The rest of the listeners gurgled at the thought of Peter's head looking like a pyramid. "It's more like an arc light at 3 A. M. from the way it glimmers," put in a third speaker. Peter worked his fanning towel industriously on Mr. Gans, and smiles wrinkled out all over the back of his neck. Eddie Graney Arrives. After Jack Day did the formalities of introducing the fighters to the crowd, and the little boys seated on the roof stanch Ions craned their necks till they nearly fell off the bars, Eddie Graney appeared. He arrived as suddenly as a Prince in the Arabian Nights, and gave the im pression that he had been plucked from space by some wandering magician. He was faultlessly attired In a Tuxedo, and, wonder of all wonders, a nice, clean, stiff white shirt. Not that Eddie might not have the shirt at all, but It certainly was surprising that he should have one In the midst of a city tied up In a laundry strike. He probably knew beforehand that he was coming to a city of the,Great Unwashed, and he came prepared, with a suit' case full of shirts, nice, white, boiled ones. The Tuxedo idea was catching with the SPONGE. crowd, and in all probability when another mix comes off the spectators will not be satisfied unless Messrs. Day and Grant show up In -clawhammers. The fighters win also be expected to wear white duck to keep in style. Portland as Prlxe-FIght Center. It was evident at all times that the crowd was full of sympathy (and whisky) for the local men. Memsic was announced as "of Portland." and this was a good move. It won for him the loving applause of the local spectators, who are always glad to yell - for a man who claims this webfoot city for his home. Then, when Tracey was announced as from Portland also, he was cheered to the echo. It seemed as though Portland was rapidly assuming a front Tank as a residence place for prize-fighters. Everybody was sorry to see Tracey lose, for he put up a good, gritty fight. He made no bones about the matter after waru, and his simple statement that he "put up his best fight, and he could do no better" won for him. measures of re spect. -The fighting world Is getting tired of belng'told that men were robbed In the rln- and cheated of their laurels, and It j was cenainiy reiresning 10 near a man admit that he was not a, match for his victor. Tracey diu his best, and man could do no better. THE FIGHT BY ROUXDS. How Tracey Combatted Against Heavy Odds and Lost. Gans, robed in a checkered bath rober was the first to enter the ring.
