The Browns opened up the same today with a terrific bombardment in which young Baker's offerings were slammed all over the lot. Single after single tumbled out into the field, causing Manager Fisher to remark that this new brew of balls he bad received this week must have too many hops in their composition, as all a player had to do was to stick out his bat and get a hit. In the first inning in which young Baker officiated the Browns got six safe hits and they gathered In four more in the second Inning, and then he was replaced by Fitzgerald, who did some excellent work and kept the hits well scattered. Butler opened the contest and received a like reception to that accorded Baker. In tho third inning four hits, including doubles by Townsend and McLaughlin, went afield, and in the fifth inning he was knocked out of th box -and Loucks suc ceeded him. The Senators were woefully Disfigured, as Townsend early in the game was hit on his disabled thumb and had to retire, his place being filled by Doyle, while Thomas went out in the field. Truck Eagan was sick and out of the game, and Hogan had to fill his sta tion. Tommy Sheehan had an off-day and his four errors were all costly. Tho score: SACRAMENTO. AB. R. IB. PO. A. E.

They Are Loath to See Captain Dillon Give Up HI Bat. Those Los Angeles fans are howling their heeds off since Secretary Ander son, of the -Pacific Coast League, gave out the batting averages, and it was found that Deacon Van Buren and not Captain Dillon, of Morley's team, was lead ing the league. It was not Dillon's fault that he was presented with a redwood bat. silver mounted and suitably en graved. California newspapers kept him at the head of the batting list, and the enthusiastic fans who presented Dillon with the piece of engraved timber, like Captain Dillon himself, were sincere in their belief that the Loo Loos' manager was the leading stick artist. Here Is what Dillon has to say on the mooted question. What he says Is very manly and to tho point: "Now about this bat business. If those figures were In error and Van Buren was ahead of me on the first, he ought to have that bat, for It would righfully belong to him. Just as soon as they straighten this matter out and turn over he official fig ures we will know, and if they give Van Buren the place I will see that he gets the bat. You bet I don't want' anything that Isn't coming to me on the square." This interview with Dillon Is Just was was expected from the Loo Loos captain, but the thlmble-bralned scribe who sent it out, seems to have found it hard to give it to the public The trouble with this pencil pusher is that ho has fatty de generation of the "think tank" and has tho misfortune of taking himself serious ly. He says we Northerners have been howling loud about this Dillon matter, when In truth very little has been said or printed about the matter. It was taken for granted here that if Los Angeles fans had their way that is, a few of those suffering from the narrowness of the front that Dillon would be forced to keep the bat whether he wanted to or not. What this fellow needs Is someone to smack him on the pulse "real" hard, and maybe he would wake up to find that he Is only a gnat, with gray matter that would rattle around in the eye of a needle, like a penny in a child's sai-Ings bank.

PROSPECTS FOR RACES GOOD Grnndntnnd Cost $1000 to Repair Other Building; Were Badly De cayed, hut Everything Will Be in Good aunpe Next Mouth. "Never In the history of racing In Port land has the prospect for a splendid race meeting been brighter than at present. The Multnomah Fair Association, under whoso auspices a meeting will be held' Sep tember 21 to 26, Intends making the meet ings In Portland a permanent feature, and next year will see a race circuit with Portland, Seattle, Spokane and Seattle comprising the loop. This will bring to Portland and tho other Northern cities wmc of the best horses racing on the Pacific Coast. Just at present the association Is rush ing the work of getting the buildings and track Into shape for the coming meet. The paddock, timers", and Judges stands are almost completed, and the stables and cattle shed have been thorougbly over hauled, repaired and given their first coat of whitewash. Ono of the first things the officials of the association did was to engage a build ing Inspector, and. In company with an architect, every building and shed on the grounds were thoroughly inspected. They found the buildings, and grandstand espe cially. In sad repair, and In order to fit them for the horses and cattle It was found necessary to almost rebuild them. The grandstand was in tho worst condi tion. Many of the heavy supporting tim bers were rotten at the base. This was also the case with the cross timbers sup porting the floors under the grandstand. This necessitated tearing up the floors of tho betting ring, and every piece of timber which showed tho slightest Indications of decay was torn up. The dangerous condl tlon of tho stand greatly surprised the officials, for as It stood the structure would havo collapsed under tho weight of Just an ordinary crowd. It has taken $1000 to repair the grandstand alone, and when the work Is completed it will hold twice Its present capacity without danger. Tho seats, the boxes and the stairs have been widened, eo that crowding and Jostling will be a thing of the past. The paddock has been given special at tention. The structure Is strictly up to date. It Is large and roomy, and when finished will be the best In the Northwest. Even while the repairs are still under way there Is a marked change In the appear ance of Irvington track. The fence which encircles the grounds has received a coat of whitewash similar to that given to the stables and cattle sheds. The old. gloomy appearance which was the result of tho weather-beaten fence has disappeared as If by magic, and now It Is possible to follow the course in the back stretch, a thing Im possible when the fence was unpalnted. The track right now is in splendid shape, but before the meeting opens It will be the fastest west of Chicago. The track has been worked over all Summer by horsemen who have stabled their horses there, but. In spite of this, teams will be put to work on the track and kept at work until tbe meeting opens. The most Important improvement that will be made at the Irvington track, so far as the public goes, will be the spur which the street railroad will build from Union avenue to the gates of the park. The work on the spur will be started just as soon as a franchise is granted to the company by the City Council. Since the Fall meeting was assured there have been a few complaints about the number of harness races which will be carded each day. It Is the intention of the association to give five races a day, four running races and one harness event. The light harness men had the same com plaint to make at the Seattle meet, but it was demonstrated that the public wished to see the running races and were satlcfled with one good harness event a day. Portland has not enjoyed running races, those that were on the square, for ten years or so. and the time is ripe for the gallopers. Tho fair officials will see to It that only the best are carded, and the first signs of crookedness will be sum marily dealt with. The purses will all be large, and It. is the Intention of the man agement to make the purses for the single harness event particularly attractive, so that only tho best horses will be seen. The fat stock show will also receive the same consideration. At the close of the race meeting at Se attle, between 30 and 40 of the horses which nave been racing at the Sound city Will be snipped direct to Irvington, where SHRUNK IN" THE WASH. they will take a brfef rest- Then they will undergo preparation for the meet. "GREAT," SAYS CHOYNSKI. Big; PrlrcflKbtcr Is Smitten WTIth Charms of Alaska. Burly-looklnff as ever, Joe Choynskl Is In Portland on his way to San Francisco from the Klondike, where he has been for several weeks. "Great country, all right all right." said the big prizefighter yesterday, as ho pat ted his Malamute dog. "See tho dogs they raise up there three-quarters wolf. Walt till I get him Into Chicago. Daylight all night. Ice always" four feet under ground. Hot as Clark street in the Summer time. Why, say, fellers; there's nothing like It, And the scenery! And the gold, the monoy!" Joes arms waved from side to side in a futile effort to express the glories of Alaska to half a dozen friends. "Nothing to It at all," he said. "Just think! Why, a feller up there that I seen Just put his hand Into a pile of dirt, and pulled out a handful of mud. Then ho held his hand under the pump. till the dirt was washed away and he had 3 in gold dust in his mitt, 'Come on and have a drink,' he said. That's the way It Is up there all the time." Pete Grant started to. Inquire about fares and routes, when some more recol lections separated themselves from Joe. "Here's a bill of fare," he groaned. "Suf fering Slier, how they soak you. Two eggs, l; on chicken, $3.50.' Wouldn't that crack your slats?" Tho crowd thought it seemed a little high. "My wife went out to buy a spool of thread. She came back with her heart blistered. It was 25 cents, she said. I told her to brace up. 'You'll get used to It soon, I told her. Well, she got used to it, and pretty soon she was sprinkling $20 gold pieces all over Dawson like they wero free-lunch scraps." Somebody wanted to know if Joe met anybody up there he knew. "They all knew me In a minute, all right," said Joe. "Why, ono guinea I never seen before, or anyway only met the way I'd meet a Dago peanut butcher In a circus crowd, come up to me. grabbed me mitt, calls me Joe, and says: " 'How's Chicago? " 'Standing up,' I says. " 'How they're treating you here? he says. " 'At the bar,' I says. " 'I'm awful glad to see you, ho goes on, and peddles mo the big bull for seven, minutes. "Well, I seen what was coming, and pretty soon the guy gets mournful. " 'It's pretty muddy going for me,' he says. 'You haven't got any coin in your pants, have you?' " 'Always have it,' I says, and pulls out a bunch of gold and shows It to htm. " 'Could you loan me $20?' says he, right at the same time. " 'Sure ' I could,' I says, putting the money back In my. pocket. but what would I do it for? Tm no House for the Homeless, and they're posting bills for pick and shovel hands up on the bllL' "Oh, there's nothing slow about them panhandlers up In the Klondike. They'll brace a man that traveled on the street car with them once In 1S73 for $20. It's a great country fine.' Of Jimmy Brltt Choynskl has a small opinion. "Look how long him and Fitzgerald were beating one another up," said Joe, in much disdain. "Why, we've got a dozen youngsters In Chicago that never had their names in the papers yet that can put It all over Fitzgerald. Brltt will never do, I tell you. Brltt is one of them fellers that Is always telling a crowd, of boosters how some other fellow ought to fight. He's got an able-bodied mouth." And the listeners were not inclined to dispute about thl matter. FIRST RACK. !nill LIPTOX CUP. Lnrita, Sailing Under Colors of Chi cago Club, Is Successful. CHICAGO. Aug. 27.

LARNED IS DEFEATED BY HIM English Crack and His Brother Have Defeated All Comers in the Sin gle and Double Plays in Tvfo Countries, NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 27. H. L. Doherty, of England, today defeated W. A. Lamed, of New Jersey, and to his title as champion of England added that of cham pion of tho United States. The score was 6-0, 6-3 and 10-S In Doherty's favor. Al though In the last set the American play er made a heroic stand, he was worn out by the British expert and failed to hold him on the 18th game. By defeating Lamed today Doherty com pleted the clean sweep which he and his brother have made in this country this season. Between them they hold both tho singles and the doubles championships of the United States and England, as well as having won the Davis international trophy without tho assistance of any other player. The two brothers bold a unique position In the history of the game, a position that no others have over ap proached. Doherty won in straight sets, which is agreat deal of a surprise, though he had been considered a dangerous opponent for Lamed because of his two previous vic tories over tho American champion. His style today had all the qualities that have characterized him before. The one most prominent being steadiness. He was out pointed by' the American by tho margin of about 15 In the total, but kept quietly at work, reaching apparently impossible balls and pulling himself out of hard places.
