Twice the Browns forged ahead, only to be tied up, once In the -x second Inning and again In the sixth. It was a hard game for the Browns to lose, and there is no mistake but that they got the worst of a couple of very close deci sions. Umpire McDonald was decidedly off color on his Judgment of both ball and base decisions, and, while he evened up on the balls and strike question, the Browns broke badly on base decisions. This fact, however, was not the only reason the Browns did not win the game. Butler was touched up rather lively all through the engagement, and In the eighth canto three singles and a double-sacker brought In three runs, and off the total of 11 hits scattered through the eight innings and a half gave the visitors the Ave runs. If clever fielding could have landed the game, the Browns would have won in a walk, for yesterday's game was the sec ond errorless game they have played this season. Manager "Vlgneux was again cov ering miles of territory at the Initial bag. In addition to gathering in everything which came his way, he slugged out a couple of swats that -were good for two stations. The unhappy part of the busi ness was that the weak end of the bat " ting order, following his stlckwork, failed to bring him over "the rubber. Tough luck hovered over the Browns In great big dabs. In the seventh inning, when Sammy had cracked out his second two bagger, Ike Butler had worried Graham ' with an assortment of fouls until he was given a free ticket to first. In order to get him out of the way. Raldy followed and lined one that had the speed of a cannon ball straight into the waiting claws of Brashear, and that first guardian pulled off a double play unassisted. The play robbed the Browns of at least one run. .m.l Graham was the southpaw who was serving for Oakland. Raldy faced him, but was morgued in rightfleld. Deacon "Van Buren hit keenly to Devereaux, and . ., the .Red dog whipped it over to Brashear. ' All the steam, in that right wing was behind--the throw, which was a mile over t ; Brashear's head, but he did a clever extension-ladder act and just got .hTgh enough to tip the lightening throw wijh the end of his glove. The sphere said: "Not today," and struck the sward ten feet beyond, then with a vicious bound leaped over the fence and went rambling to the clubhouse. The over-the-fence act entitled the Deacon to a home run. First he sprinted to second, then, when the um pire waved him to continue the journey, the hearts of the fans were wild with joy. Lohman wanted to hold a mid-diamond mass meeting, but he was waved to his kennel. Neither Nadeau nor Andrews could negotiate, and the Browns went Into action? Graham was not so easy yesterday. He pitched a splendid game and kept . the Browns guessing all the time, and his hits scattered like the four winds. He was clouted for a hit in every canto but one. A base on balls to Butler and a single by Raldy, and Nadeau's troublesome out brought In the second and last run in the fifth chapter. The score: PORTLAND. AB. R. H. SH. PO. A. E.

'They Down Xarooas In Well-Cea-tested Game at Vaaceaver. VANCOUVER, Wash.. May 17. (Special) Before a crowd ofS00 people at Vancou ver Park, today, the Monograms, of Port land, defeated the Vancouver Maroons In the first game of the Interstate League by a score of 8 to 3. The game opened with the Monograms: at the bat, and they went out in one two, three order. The Maroons did llke wise in their half. There was no score made until the third Inning, when the Maroons pushed two runs across the plate on four hits, and held the lead until the sixth Inning., when the Monograms iound their batting eye. and on five hits, two of them being doubles, they pushed five runs across the plate and took the lead, and were never caught. The game was close until the sixth, and Howard, the pitcher of the Vancouver Maroons, pitched an elegant game and ozoned 14 of the Monograms, and If he had been properly supported the score would have been closer. Several errors by the infield and outfield helped, him lose the game. Whltchouse, of the Monograms, also pitched a good game, and was backed up in great shape by both the infield and out field, only two errors being charged to the team behind him. The heavy batting of the day was done by Oliver, who was up five times and got four hits, one of them a double. Giles also did some heavy stick work and land ed a double. v Charley Giles umpired the game and gave entire satisfaction to both teams.

Croivd of Union Men Sees Fanny Stnnts on the Diamond. The painters and carpenters for a time yesterday forgot their brushes and saws and took a hand In the good old National pastime. A great crowd of union men Journeyed to the National grounds on the East Side and laughed themselves sick over the extremely funny stunts that the painters and carpenters did On the bases. The painters had a walk-over, and they pasted and painted the carpenters when and wherever they wanted to. The carpen ters got off badly and early in the game, mistook the error column for the run col umn, and piled up 23 sinful marks. When the painters got only 32 runs to their credit they began running the bases back ward. There was fun In plenty for every body, the carpenters enjoying it as much as the crowd. Next week the painters have a game scheduled with the electri cians. Following are the names of the players and their positions. TTiVers" Positions.

The Schlllers of Portland and the Mount Angel College team played an exciting game of ball on the college grounds today. Owing to the fact that the "Schlllers'" had to drive to Woodburn to take the train, the game was called at the end of the tenth inning, each team having scored three runs. McBurney, for the home team, and Golns, for the visitors, both pitched good ball. Zander's running catch and as sist In the eighth inning was the feature. Ray White umpired the game.

THREE COMING FIGHTS WALCOTT AXO SMITH - WILL . SLUG FOR BLOOD NEXT WEEK. . Maeller to Fight O'Brien en Same .Sight, and Then Strangle "With ' Gaas ia Seattle.' Joe Walcott, the Black Demon, who is to fight -with "Mysterious" Blllle Smith" at the Exposition building. May 2S, will, reach 'Portland either today 'or tomorrow. On his arrival here he will begin active training for his coming battle, which be yond question will be the toughest of his career. While It is true that both men have fought several times before, the feel ing between them on the unsettled ques tion of superiority is still as strong as ever. Smith has been working like a sailor for the coming match. He is gong to win If It Is In him, and he is golng-to turn the trick Just asqulckly as possible. It will be a grueling contest from the sound of the gong, and those who see it will coma away satisfied that they have witnessed two very clever fighters who can slug and be slugged. These two boxers have fought many a tough battle, and have taken a world of punishment In their time, but at that they are still there with "the goods, even though they are getting along on tho road of age. Just who will referee the battle has not yet been -decided upon. There has been some talk of getting (Tommy Tracey or Jack Grant to officiate, but the question will not be settled until Walcott's "wishes are known. Fred Mueller, who Is to fight Kid O'Brien on the same night, will certainly get a match with Joe Gans. Mueller's backer will meet Al Herford this after noon and the necessary deposit for tho match .will be posted. Herford will send Joe against Mueller, agreeing to stop him in ten rounds, and if he does not Mueller will get the winner's end of the purse. In case the battle goes beyond the ten rounds, Herford agrees to give Mueller 5100 for every round he stays beyond the limit. Mueller Is a tough customer, and will be a hard nut for the champion light weight to crack. He trained Tommy Tracey for his match with Gans. and Tracey thinks Mueller has a good chance to stay beyond the limit with pans. "Mueller Is a strong fellow," said Tracey yesterday, "and Gans will have his work cut out for him If he stops Fred Insido of ten rounds. Mueller Is a fighter of exceptionally good habits," and he has always taken the best of care of himself. He Is fast with his hands, and he Is just as clever as Joe In footwork. He can take a world of beating, too. and he Is sure to glvo Joe a great battle. The Gans-Mueller battle will be pulled off In Seattle. June 9. Mueller, after his battle with O'Brien, will leave for Seattle and train In that city for the battle with Gans. Al Herford and Young Peter Jackson will leave for Seattle some time this week. -.. ' Salem Shnts Out Eugene. SALEM. May 17. (Special.) In the "Willamette Valley League game played here this afternoon, Eugene was de feated by Salem by a score of 14 to 0. Eugene did not get a man as far as third base. The game was won for Salem by Pitcher Morris, who sent the . balls over the plate so accurately and swiftly that he struck out 17 men In nine in nings. Both teams made several changes from the Une-up of yesterday, when Eu gene won. The score was: R.H.E.

PES CHAPELLES TROPHY. WON BY PORTLAND WHIST CLUB. For the second time In succession, the Portland Whist Club has won the Des ChapelTes trophy, given by the Des Chapelles Whist Club, of Tacoma. as a challenge trophy to the North Pacific Whist Association, the winning team being No. 3, composed of Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Donaldson.- Professor Frank Rlgler and E. P. Walte. The trophy was first offered by the association In 1S94, and was then called the North Pacific Whist Association. It was to be played for yearly at the tournaments or between the holder and .wiy club that chal lenged for It, any club winning It In three consecutive contests to keep It. It was won for the third consecutive time by the Des Chapelles Club In 1S9S, and that club then changed the name to the 'Des Chapelles trophy,, and offered It as a permanent challenge trophy to be played for yearly or by challenge, but not to become the property of any winning club. The decision is made by one evening's play jof 48 boards. Portland won it at the annual tournament at Seattle on May 8 and 9. There were 13 teams In the contest, Portland sending three of them and the others going from Seattle, Tacoma asid Olyropla. The winners of three preliminary games played .off the final contest. These were: Port-" land No. 3, already named; Portland No. 1, composed of S. B. Huston, H. P. Holmes, J. W. Sweeney and L. T. Barln; Tacoma "Whl3t Club, com posed of A. J). Avery. H. B. Dewey, Mr. "Wright and A C. Marcon nler; the Des Chapelles Whist Club team, of Tacoma, composed of Arthur Bemlngton, Philip Kershaw. Otto Rlchter and Ralph Metcalf. The four winning teams drew lots for opponents, and In the second round Portland No. 1 defeated Tacoma by one trick, and Portland No. 3 defeated Des Chapelles by two tricks. Then Portland No. 3 defeated Port land No. 1 by one trick, and won the trophy. The trophy Is a largei loving cup of silver plate with gold inside and has three handles. On one side Is engraved: "Tacoma "Whist Club, Challenge Trophy, li94," and on another "Des Chapelles, 1S9S." It la In the care of the Title Guarantee & Trust Company. resentatlvo of the champion will meet Jim Corbett in San Francisco to sign tho articles for the coming' match and to pass, upon the two offers of the Yosemlte Club. One Is a fiat offer of J20.O0O and the other 70 per cent of the gross i-eceipts. Present Indications are that the fight will be. held about the, middle of August.

'MYSTERIOUS" BILLIE SMITH AND KID O'BRIEN SWIN6 ASD LANDING HIS TERRIFIC T I TRACK TEAM : TO MEET FARMERS AND 'VARSITY WILL COMPETE FRIDAY. Corvallls Men Have Advantage of Several Recent Meets, bat Sar prlses Are In Store. TVhat promises to be one of the most In teresting athletic events of the year will be the dual field meet between the Uni versity of Oregon and the Oregon Agri cultural College. 4 which is scheduled for next Friday afternoon at Corvallls. As there. Is no end of friendly rivalry between these Institutions, and as the teams are evenly matched, the contest 'will doubt less prove Interesting. If the athletes are In. good trim and thfe weather Is fair, it is not unlikely that some state or North west records will be smashed, for there are some speedy men- on the contesting teams. W. O. Trine, who trained the vic torious team of . the .State 'Varsity for five years, has been with the Agricultural College since April 1, and the results of -kg HT TO THE SOLAR PLEXUS. the Meets already held show that he has a stroeg team-in the field; In the early meets of the season the Corvallls aggregation .won from Dallas and McMlnnvUle Colleges' by overwhelm ing scores. Then came the contest with Pacific University, which the" Agrlcs" also won. the score being 80 to 46. These meets have seasoned the Agricultural Col lege men, and have put them on their mettle for the championship meet with the State University team, the strength of which is a mere matter of conjecture. The 'varsity men have held no meets this year, and when they appaar at Corvallls next Friday, many, of them will be repre senting their college for "the first time. There are a few seasoned men on the Eugene team, however, and it Is safe to say that Trainer Ray will have the whole bunch in good condition. The 'varsity team as a whole is probably more experi enced than the "farmer" aggregation, al thougn the latrer Is more, advanced In the work of the present season. The Agricul tural College meet will have considerable advantage In holding the meet on their own grounds, and they will also outnum ber their opponents, whose supply of ath letic material is small In comparison with that on hand at Corvallls. It Is not ui likely that both trainers -will have some "surprises" to spring. In Moores and Williams the Agricul tural College has two very fast sprinters, while the University wlfc be well repre sented by Payne, Henderson and Lewis. The last named, according ty reports from Eugene, has been off color this season, so Henderson and Payne are Oregon's surest men In the sprints. Payne Is also a switt middle-distance runner, and Poley. the mller, will no doubt show a clean pair of heels to the field. Jackson, who has put the shot 39 feet 4 inches for the "Agrics," Is reasonably sure of first place, and Mc Klhney, the 'varsity freshman, has thrown the discus lttj feet; which Is five feet fur ther than Abraham, of Corvallls, has thrown. The hammer-throw and hurdles are looked upon as Corvallls events, but the sprints and Jumps are very doubtful, as both teams have good men in the en try lists. The Oregon-Albany field meet, which was- to have been held at Eugene on Sat urday, was postponed on account of rain. The next meet will be held at Albany on June 1. when the 'varsity athletes are re turning from their meet3 with Pacific University and Multnomah. The postpone ment Is a boon to Albany, as Prltchard and Morrison, two Of the surest point winners, were In poor condition, and would have been unable to compete 6n Satur day. Morrison, of football fame. Is a strong man with the shot and hammer, while Prltchard Is a fast long-distance runner. The defeat of "Whitman's track team by the Washington Agricultural College shows plainly, that the University of Idaho will win from Whitman next Thursday. Idaho defeated Washington Agricultural College 72 to 50, and the latter team scored 79 to "Whitman's 43. These records almost Insure Idaho a victory over the Sons of Marcus and the trip to Seattle for a meet with the University of Washington on Decoration day. According to the Seat tle sports this meet will settle the "North west" championship. These, worthies -seem to have forgotten that ho State of Ore gon is still on the map, and. that, while not so strong in the "hot air" department, it has two or three athletic aggregations that can, at least give Washington and Idaho some strenuous competition. In young Peterson Pacific University has a very fast sprinter, in the dual meet at Corvallls last Saturday he distinguished himself by tlelng-the Northwest record for the 220-yard dash, and by winning the 440 yard dash from Trlne's fastest man. Pe terson also won points In the 50-yard and 100-yard sprints. At no time since the memorable track seasons of 1S96-97 has there been so much athletic enthusiasm at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club as there is at pres ent. The track men are training faith fully for their dual contest with tho Uni versity of'Oregon on Decoration day, and If Indications count for anything the club will score its first victory In track ath letics over the college boys. As usual, Bert Kerrigan Is the mainstay of the team. He Is showing up splendidly In the jumps, hurdles and pole-vault, and will win many of the events In which he I3 entered. He will certainly have no trou ble In carrying off honors In the high jump and pole-vault, and It would not be surprising if he wins a few other first places. Milles, formerly of Pacific Uni versity, is showing up well In the vault and hurdle, while Oscar Kerrigan bids fair to rival his brother in the latter events. Blanchard is also displaying good form In the hurdles. In the middle-distance race, the club has a new man, Bellinger, who will In all probability be able to. show Payne. Ore gon's fleet-footed runner, a clean pair of heels. Bellinger was once at Cornell Uni versity, where he established very fast records for the 440 and SSO-yard runs. "Jor dle" Zan Is rounding Into good form for these events, and ought to win the 8S0 from the collegians. Tldcome is working on the distance rurts, and1 several new men .are showing Op splendidly In the different events. Ed Murphy, now at the University of Idaho, will be down for the meet, and will appear In the hurdles, jumps and vault. Murphy has been a great point winner for the club during the past rea son. George Gammle will try his hardest to run away from the Oregon sprinters, and If he continues to Improve, will have no trouble In doing so." In the discus throw it Is rumored that the clubmen have a "surprise party" In store for the Uni versity team. All In all. Multnomah will have a very strong aggregation on Deco ration day. FIELD MEET POSTPONED. Oregon-Albany -Contest Will Take Place Jane 1. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, May 17. (Special.) Continued rain made it impossible for the Albany-Oregon dual field meet to be held here, yesterday after noon. The new athletic arena looked more like a football field than a running track. The Linn County collegians went home yesterday afternoon, feeling that the Oregon showers had deprived them of a victory. Arrangements have been made for the contest to be held on the Albany oval on June L The result of the two tie football games played between Oregon and Albany last season lends in terest to the track meet. The local col legians are bent upon demonstrating their supremacy over Albany College in track athletics, while Albany lh turn Is deter mined to maintain a standard of equality with the university. Trainer W. O. Trine and Manager C L. Johnson, of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, were In Eugene yesterday afternoon, and final arrangements were made for the Oregon Agricultural College-University of Oregon dual meet, which will, be 'held In Corvallls next Friday. The 'varsity men are expecting a very hard-fought meet with the "Agrics." Trainer Ray states that his men are in good condition, with the exception of Lewis and Captain Payne, who are round ing Into form very slowly. Idaao te Meet IT. of W. UNIVERSITY OF, WASHINGTON. May 17. (Special.) It now seems reasonably certain that the University of Idaho track team will' win the championship of the Inland Empire, and. will come to this city on Decoration "day for a dual meet with the local varsity. The meet will create more than ordinary interest on account of the great races that will take place be tween Pearson of Washington and Tilly of Idaho in the 100 and 230-yard dashes: Both, men have fast records in ihm events, and there are a number of Seattle sports "who will back Tilly.
