Sacramento w;aa unable to find jj Krapp today, letting the little" fellow eret away with his fourth straight J game for the season. The support given Hunt was far from the gilt-edge variety and In . some instances bordered on the "bone- head" type. The first run was the Sacramento tally, arriving In the fifth Inning;, when Fournler clouted one dandy two-bagger between left and center gardens. Former Portia nder Gallops Home. Shlnn's out at first advanced him a " bag, and when Netzel muffed an at- tempt to catch him playing off third, the former Portlander galloped home. I- Although Krapp and Netzel singled In the fifth, it was not until an inning - later that the bingles counted. With two gone In the sixth. Speas sent a long hit to right center, which Pear- son loafed on long enough to let the Beaver reach third. Ryan walked and t stole. Ort placed a Texas Leaguer back of second base, which everybody fought clear of until the two men on J bases had crossed home. It was Pear w ton's ball to field. Ort Handy With Bat. I Ort was again handy with the stick ! In the ninth, sending a good one to left for two bases. He stole third and .j got away with the double steal when Hunt was trying to catch Krapp going down to second. , ' Portland pulled off a couple of good plays in the first and second innings. Brlggs was trapped off first by Rapps, who concealed the ball under his arm. This made the fans disgusted. J PORTLAND.

V,.f EIGESE JEFF IS WISHING Champion Drops Hard Train ing for Rod and Reel. ADMIRERS SEEK GLIMPSE Bijc Pupilist Says inversion Aids Kim as Well as ''Workhorse Stunts" Mrs. Jeffries III, to Go to Oakland Tonight. BEN LOMONI, Cal., April 13. With the exception of a longr drill over the muddy roads In the morning. Jeffries took a vacation today. A crowd of Santa Cruz admirers of the fighter spent part of the morning craning their necks in trying to get a glimpse of the champion through the dusty windows of the gymnasium, and were repaid for their efforts only by a brief glimpse as Jeffries came in from his road work and entered his quarters. Jeff Goes Angling. Carpenters were at work on the gymnasium all afternoon, tearing a hole In the roof, to allow light and air to enter. New mats, medicine balls and other apparatus will be installed in a few days. On account of the changes being made. Jeffries, finding it impossible to work in the gymna sium, took his rod and reel and trout. "It's a mistake to think that training consists only In these workhorse stunts,' he said to a visitor. 4-I get lots of good out of these fishing trips and the sport of it keeps me from get ting stale." Jeffries passed up the boxing- today on advice of his trainers and attend an ts. who feared that he was setting a bit too fast a pace in the whirlwind Btunts of the last few days. Pugilist Needs Diversion. Old associates of Jeffries who have studied the fighter closely say that the psychological element figures in his development more than that of any other pugilist, and that he requires a certain amount of sport and diversion In his training r he goes stale. Mrs. Jeffries, whose illness proved more serious than was at first sup posed, will leave the tamp for Oak land tomorrow night. It will be nec essary for her to undergo an operation. lMck Adams. Jeffries' very close friend, will accompany her to Oakland. Among the visitors at the camp to day was Eddie Smith, the well known referee. JOHNSON FOUND NOT GUILTY Jury at Chicago Acquits Pugilist in Overspeedlng Case. CHICAGO, April 13. A jury in Judge Going's branch of the Municipal Court acquitted Jack Johnson, the pugilist, of exceeding the speed limits. The po liceman who made the .arrest a fort night ago, alleged the colored cham ST-'WSATTO'N' WHO HAS WON i ,ji,if. f i SIM , KRAPP. pion was motoring at the rate of 22 miles an hour. The defendant declared he was going only hall that speed. The Jury was out only a few minutes. When Johnson was arrested two weeks ago, he demanded trial by a jury, which should contain two col ored men, but there were none of the latter among the veniremen present in Judge Going's court today. When the question of the time the case would consume came up. Judge Going said: "I'm not going to try this case as If the President of the United States or the King of England were on trial here. There are too many prisoners in jail now who are entitled to im mediate attention." Sig Hart, who was with Johnson when the latter was arrested, will be tried on a charge of using abusive language to the policeman who made the arrest.

TIME IS 17.91 SECONDS Same IVrlver Sets Mark for Kilo meter, and Ralph De Falma Wins Exciting 50-Mile Kree-for-All Race . In 37:55:53. PLATA DEL RET, Cal.. April 13. Five new American speedway records were established on the motordrome this afternoon, the most noteworthy being: the half mile, driven by Barney Oldfield in the Benz, in which his ma chine reached a speed in excess of 100 miles an nour. The time was 17.91 seconds. Oldfield also drove the Bens a kilometer in 22.88 seconds, lowering his former mark made at Indianapolis by 1.4 seconds. The 60-mile free-for-all proved the most exciting race of the day. Ralph De Palma. by driving his Fiat Cyclone the entire 50 circuits without making a stop, won in 37:55.33. This is a new record. At the start De Palma and Kersoher, in the Darracq, went out to set the pace and reeled off the first five miles In 3:36.15. The Stoddard-Daytoo was running third. At the end of ten miles the Fiat and Darracq were still fighting It out for the lead, with Har roun's Marmon third. Machines Stay Together. They continued in these" positions lap after lap. the Fiat never leading by more than a dozen yards. Kerscher would rush up on even terms at times and in the 21st mile led by a few feet. In the 37th mile Kerscher threw a tire on the upper turn and stopped a six teenth of a mile beyond the wire. He did not return- to the track. Xn the next mile the Marmon drew up In the paddock for a new tire and the Stod-dard-Dayton moved into second place, where it remained to the end. The first heat of the 10-mile free-for-all was won by Ben Kerscher in a Darracq. with De Palma in the Fiat second-. George Robertson was too ill to drive his Simplex in this race to day, but is expected out for the second heat tomorrow. Handicapper Is Vindicated. The five-mile free-for-all handicap proved the ability of A. L. McMurty as a handicapper. There were seven starters and all finished close together. The Stodditrd-Dayton, well driven by Al Livingston, won. This car had a handicap of 12 seconds. The Marmon was second and the Isotta third. In the time trials' Bragg drove a Fiat two miles in 1:15.96, a new ama teur record, and Kikrent sent th Buick 40 ten miles in 7:35.87 for a new class record.

The Conley-Webster fight set for the end of this month or the first week in May, has been declared off. The principals could not come to an agreement as to the number of rounds. Conley held out for 45 rounds, and Webster for 25. As both were de termined not to accede to the other's wishes, the contest has been abandoned. PetraiiTs Talks on Current Sporting Topics HERETOFORE the fans of Portland have not heard much about Flint, Mich., but at the rate Eugene Krapp Is making himself famous by pitching Portland to victory, the Michigan town will be recognized as having been on the map long enough to produce a sterling pitcher, anyway: McCredle's prize youngster. Krapp. ha pitched four winning games since the season opened, and in those games he has allowed a total of 13 hits and but three runs, which is some brilliant pitching for a young fellow breaking into any league, especially of the class of the Pa cific Coast organization, Perle Casey, captain of the 1910 Bea- ers. who was put out of commission by Carlisle, of Vernon, In last Sunday's game, arrived home yesterday to receive medical treatment and to allow his In jury to mend. Ir. James C. Zan. ex amined Casey yesterday, and says a liga ment has been torn, which will keep the popular player out of the game for two or three weeks. Casey brings glowing accounts of the work of the team, and he is more confi dent than ever that McCredle has gotten together a speedy aggregation which will be a contender all through. Casey even goes as strong as to say that the Bea vers are going to cop the rag. and he bases his judgment on the excellency of the pitching staff. Perle says Ben Kratzberg was farmed to the Stockton club of the California State League in order that he may ac quire more experience, and that the- tall Kansas t wirier will be brought back to Portland later. Manager Mac has Wright and Gregg coming, so he thought it a wise plan to farm one of the youngsters. "Lefty" Gregg will be in Portland to day, and this afternoon Captain Casey will taite Howard Guyn, Tommy Murray and the new southpaw to the Vaughn street lot and put them through their paces providing the weather permits. Casey will be aible to don a uniform, but cannot throw a ball for several days. . Brackenridge, the diminutive Vernon t wirier, came through with another vic tory yesterday, for he beat the Seals In handy fashion. For a small man this Brackenridge Is "some pitcher." He is even smaller than either Krapp or Browning. Happy Hogan used wise judg ment when he held the little fellow de spite adverse advice. mm Even ""Slivers Henley "gets bumped" now that the Seals are on the road, and unless Mohler and McArdle get back into the game shortly. Danny Long's lamenta tions will be so many and of such agon izing character that theentlre city of San Francisco will go into deep mourning. The annual races In the National and American leagues commence tomorrow afternoon, and the many Easterners on the Coast will be showing as much In terest in the daily results as do the na tives In the Coast League race which has been on for several weeks. If "Red "Wright Joins McCredle at Sacramento today or tomorrow, as ex pected, "Gene" Krapp may be sent home a couple of days in advance, for Mc Credle may decide to work the Flint, Mich.. lad In the opening game. If Wright does not show. Bill Bteen will pitch the first game here. m m Casey says "Dutch" Armbruster Is anxious to work oftener than has been his fortune thus far, but with Gus Fisher hitting the ball like a Ty Cobb, there Is not much chance for the rejuvenated "Dutchman" to get in the game regular ly. "Buster" is working in grand form accord In g to Casey. Sam Berger seems to have Joined the "inbad" club as far as a number of sporting writers are concerned. Accord ing to Eastern critics, as well as a few on the Coast, Sam tried "to hog" all the news features of the Jeffries training camp, though the letter received by The Oregonlan did not indicate any exclu sive privilege but merely an exclusive service. Next Tuesday afternoon the Portland bugs can do a little yelling on their own account, for McC,redle and his bold braves will come home on that day and will be accompanied by the Oakland team, which club will be the opening at traction here. Next week the Northwestern League will open the season of 1910. and the four club circuit expects to enjoy a most suc cessful season this year. President Lucas has secured two good .umpires In "Dea con" Wright and Ralph Frary, and their work should prove most satisfactory, to the fans of the Northern circuit. Athena Plans Great Meet. ATHENA; Or.. April 13. (Special.) A delegation of citizens from the- Commer cial Club met the traveling pap-engpr agent of the O. R. & N.
