Jay Hughes was nearly the whole thing at" Recreation Park today. He held the Portland sluggers down to five safe hits, and both runs scored by the visitors were unearned. Hughes also struck out four men, and gave but a single base on balls. To show further what -he can do when he is feeling right, he made a batting aver age of 1.000. Brashcar also made a bat ting average of LOOO. but he was regis tered at the nlate only twice. Levy laughed in his face when he was called out once. It is no usn to abuse Levy. He doesn't hear. His judgment on balls and strikes Is bad, but his good nature is admirable. 4 Both sides started In to win the game by base-stealing. In Seattle's half of the first Lumley and Brashear were thrown out while trying to steal. Portland's two runs were due to the bunching of three hits and an error by Jansing. The error allowed the runners to score, as the side would have been out In spite of the three hits with perfect fielding. The game was played In almost record time one hour and 25 minutes. This was due to the fast work on both sides, and to the unusual circumstances that there was little of the article known in baseball phrase as "monkeying." Score: Seattle: AB. R. IB. PO. A. E.

K. BENTLEY IS CHOSEN AS THE MANAGER. Choice of George L. Ilntchtn as Rep rcsentatlve ot-Jnbour Shows Is Ratified. The problem of selecting a superinten dent for the Merchants' and Manufac turers' carnival next month was solved at a largely-attended meeting of the M. A. A. C. carnival directors last night by the election of A. K. Bentley as vice-presi dent and managing director. The election of Mr. Bentley was attended by an out burst of great enthusiasm, and while he did not seek the honor and endeavored to decline, his declination was not listened to and he was finally prevailed upon to accept. As managing director Mr. Bentley Is in reality the superintendent of the carnival and no other executive head will be required. The election of Mr. Bentley to this re sponsible office will meet with the enthusl astlc approval of every member of the M. A. A. C, for he Is one of the most popu lar members of that popular organization When it comes to work for the good of the club. Mr. Bentley is always on deck. He has rendered the club valuable service in the past, and his election last night Is but an evidence of the high esteem in which he is held by his associates. Mr. Bentley assumes active management of the carnival today. George Jabour, whose big show will be one of the features of the Fall carnival havlne exDressed a wish to have Georee Hutchin act as rils representative during the preparatory stages of the carnival the selection was acquiesced In, and Mr. Hutchin will report to Mr. Bentley. Treasurer George W. Hoyt was author ized to employ a. salaried clerk. Reports from the various subcommit tees showed that excellent progress is be ing made with the work in hand. New at tractions are being booked by the com mittee on special attractions, and there Is no longer any question that the forthcom ing carnival will break all records from an amusement standpoint. Reports received from St. Paul, -Minn., where the Jabour show la the chief attrac tion of the carnival In progress there, are to the effect that it Is exceeding all ex pectations' as a drawing card. Since the show has been practically 'reconstructed by the elimination of its weak points and the addition of many strong features, it has become one of the best drawing cards on the road. The carnival grounds at St. Paul are crowded nightly, the attendance breaking all past records. Work In every preparatory department for the M. A. A. C. carnival Is now so well In hand that everything will be In readi ness when the gates open September 14. That everything Is planned on an elabor ate scale Is evidenced by the fact that I fully $10,000 will have been expended be-' i fore a dollar Is taken In. The directors of the carnival propose that the forthcoming show shall be the biggest and best Fall attraction Portland has ever had, and as the magic letters M. A. A. C. are syn onymous with success, the public may know what to expect. TWO HOUSES ROBBED. Burslars Vlnlt Residences of Harry McGovran and E. J. Ladd. There have been many cases of house breaking and robbery reported of late, but It appears that some such cases have been kept quiet. The Invasion and plun dering of the residence of Harry Mc- Gowan, Mount Tabor, an employe at Bowen & seed store, a short time since, has come to light, and E- J. Ladd, 463 East Eleventh street, has made it known that two weeks ago last Sunday night his house was plundered. His wife was at the Coast and he went down Saturday even ing to visit her. His mother and two daughters went to church Sunday even ing and during their absence the house was plundered. The burglar entered, by forcing a transom over the kitchen door and secured Jewelry, etc, to the value of about $SO0. It is supposed that the thief knew that Mr. and Mrs. Ladd were away and that the rest of the family had gone to church, and so chose a good time for his enterprise. He seems to have been disturbed before he had finished his work, as he left a stack of stuff on the floor which he had not had time to pack up. A singular thing Is that a Redmcn's badge, set with a diamond, had been laid aside evidently not to be taken, and that Mr. Ladd's pistol lay alongside of it. Mr. Ladd said nothing about the affair out side, but set Detectives Kerrigan and Snow at work on the case. When he heard that Mr. McGowan had been robbed and found that he was not the only handier of seeds that had been victimized, he gaye the snap away, but Is not going to the beach any more for a while. Dr. S. R. Harris, 76 Summer St., Worcester, Mass. says: "line oi tne very uest tnings in neaitn ana in sickness, and as a preventive of sickness.

With Seven Other Youths He Has "Lots of Fnn" Seeing: a House boat In Flumes, Ten-year-old Samuel Lind, firebug, the son of an East Side saloon-keeper, .was the Renter of attraction in the police-station yesterday as he related how he and seven other small boys set fire to a house boat at the foot of East Ash street, Au gust 4. He gave all the details connect ed with the adventure, and seemed to look upon It as a good joke. He also gave the names of his associates in crime, and the police expect a lively time In hunting them down. But at the end of the interview with the police it was considered that the boy was too young to be sent to jail, and he was given to his father with the strict understanding that he was to be kept bottled up until wanted. "Did you not set fire to other places when you were In the firebug business?" ho was asked. "No, sir," came the ready reply. "Did your father not whip you for what you have' done?" The boy sniffed with contempt and said: "Father hasn't whipped me, and he won't, either. W'y, he ain't big enough to do it, and I'll just run away from home If he does anything to me. I ain't sorry, as I showed them what one of the gang can do." "Are you quite sure that this was the only fire you started?" "The only one. We had lots of fun out of It. I don't know what they will do to me. WTien the old man heard of It he brough tme here to see Detective Snow, but I'm not the only one to blame. The other boys with me were just as bad." "And nobody has given you a good whipping?" "No. s!r-e-e. They dassent." When the dwelling was set on fire by ct uii nn, u Llnd and his band of seven, it was only by hard work that the firemen prevented the flames from spreading. District Engl neer Lee Holden made an investigation as to the origin of the blaze, and became convinced that It was incendiary. Several small boys told him that shortly before the fire started In the river dwelling they saw an Alblna boy climb through a win dow and with a lighted candle set fire to coverings over a bed. When the fire gained good headway he ran away, and the seven turned in an alarm for the fire men. In the meantime, through Detectives Kerrigan and Snow, who worked up the case, the Llnd boy's father became con vinced that his son knew something about the fire, and he brought him to the police station for Investi gation. The Llnd boy said: "We did It just for fun. I don't know who said to set fire to the shack, but some one did say so. We placed a candle in the bed, and the grease dropped on the floor. We put the blankets oi'er tne grease, and how she roared! Then the other boys ran away." The small firebug was sent home, and In the meantime the detectives are look ing up the other culprits. District Attorney Manning was Inter viewed last night, and he said that the boy was too young to prosecute, but went on to say that his investigation had not been completed.

FOND OF HIS WIFE ONLY Andrew Gordon Denies Affection tor HIm Cnsnier. Andrew Gordon, the confectioner filed answer yesterday to the sensational di vorce proceedings brought by his wife, Mrs. Blanche Gordon, several weeks ago. In his answer Gordon denies all the al legations of his wife's complaint, and sets out that it is his belief that she Is suf fering from mental trouble, stating that she was seriously 111 about a year ago, and has not been herself since that time. Emphatic denial is made of the fact that his relations with Miss Eva Craft, his cashier, have been other than what they should have been. Mrs. Gordon, in her complaint, charges her husband with having bestowed undue affection upon his cashier. She charges that he had neglected his home because of his regard for Miss Craft, and intimat ed that she had been given a share in the business. These allegations are denied in the an swer. Gordon denies that he treated his wife In an indifferent manner, or subject ed her to snubs and jeers, setting forth that, on the contrary, he has treated her courteously at all times, and has always provided well for her and their two chil dren. He also alleges that she Is mistaken as to his financial condition when she esti mates his wealth at $30,0CO, as he Is worth not more than $10,000. with an income from his business of but $3000 a year. 1 The answer Is accompanied by an afli i davit by Miss Craft, in which she denies having any deeper feeling for her em- . ,. thnn ihttt nf msiwi-t i .
