(Special. In a ten-inning same, which included a home run by Swander, four sensational dub plays and an unfortunate decision by Umpire Van Haltren in the early stages of the contest that bore sadly on the re-, suit for Oakland. Portland won out, at Recreation Park today by a 3 to 2 score. A glaring error by Carroll in the last' Inning with two out decided the struggle but Manager Wolverton hopes yet to stave off the defeat. He has registered a protest of the game in the fourth inning on Van Ilaltren's judgment. The trouble arose in- the fourth when, with McCredie, on second, as the result of an error and a- sacrifice and' with Fisher on first by reason of ' being hit by the pitcher, Jimmy Smith sent a grounder to Cutshaw. Fisher was easily forced out at second and the ball was relayed to first for an attempt at double play. Van Realizes Mistake. Van Haltren was right on top of the play and instantly threw his hand up ward, indicating he had declared- the man out. Van seemed to realize his mistake, however, for he changed his hands in a flash and Judged Smith safe... . ... Hogan rolled the ball to 'the center of the diamond when- he noticed Van make his first decision and McCredie had little trouble scrambling across the plate with, a, run, and Van admitted that he had called the runner out, - but had, changed his decision. McGreevy was then : consulted bX-Van JlaltceriliUt-Hie- run was allowed to stand. . , ,. . Oakland had scored .once' in . the ', first inning and the run evened, up affairs for tooth sides. The midget pair, Krapp and Harkins, then settled down- to a pitcher's battle, which prolonged the struggle into extra innings. Harkins had a trifle the best of the argument.

Vim Shown on Sunday, but Is Efficient. NED GREENWAY COMMENTS Clubman and Society Leader Be lieves Black Champion Is in Fine Physical Condition for Fight July 4. SAN CFRANCISCO, May 18. Jack John son went through his scheduled pro gramme of boxing this afternoon, the sec ond workout of the kind since he has opened quarters at the beach. That fact, in spite of the somewhat disagreeable weather, attracted a good attendance and there were something like 400 spectators on hand to see. the colored heavyweight work with the gloves. Ned Greenway, a local society leader, with a party of friends, and Eddie Smith, the Oakland referee, were among those who were present. 1 Smith declared himself as well pleased with- the appearance of Johnson. "9o far as physical condition is con cerned,", he said, "anyone who worries about Johnson is extremely foolish. He is in better shape than I expected to see him at this stage of the proceedings. I have heard some comment that lie is not doing enough work, but if I were handling Johnson I would be well- sat isfied." ... Sunday's Dash Is Lacking. Johnson boxed nine rounds today, all of them of three minutes' duration, and while he did not go at It with the same dash that characterize! his showing on Sunday, he got considerable benefit out of it. Of the three men who donned the gloves, Marty Cutler gave Johnson de cidedly the best exercise. Marty is no boxer and has a poor defense, but he slambanged at Jack and caused the champion to exhibit his golden smile on more than one occasion. George Cotton went the first three rounds.- He reached Johnson - several times with a straight left, but the Gal veston negro replied with upper cuts that gave Cotton a bloody mouth. In the third round a left to the throat almost choked Cotton, and time was called to give him, relief. Johnson Pounds at Bag. After the three rounds with Cutler, Dave Mills, a local heavyweight, put on the gloves for the closing three rounds, but it was a rather tame affair. Prior to his boxing, Johnson punched the bag for a few -moments and then with a powerful drive sent it over the heads of his audience. . He also tossed the medicine ball around leisurely. He cut his road work short in the morning, but will continue the grind to morrow. His next boxing will be done on Saturday afternoon. W AY- SMOOTH, - SAYS GILLETT California Governor Sees No Obsta cles to Big Fight. CHICAGO. May 18. Governor J. N. Gil lett. of California, who passed through Chicago on his way home from Washing ton, discussing the move to transfer the Jeffries-Johnson fight from the Emery ville racetrack to Sah Francisco, said: "The only thing the club will have to do is to go before the board of supervisors .nd obtain a permit. The law- authorizes the contest to take place- and there is nobody to prevent it. I haven't the slight est doubt the club can get a permit in San Francisco without any trouble. "Arguments that the law is made to provide only for amateur contests is an swered by the section which provides that contestants must be examined by physi cians before entering the ring. If the law anticipated amateur contests it is not likely the provision would have been made. "The fight seems to be of the biggest National interest and I don't believe there is any desire to prevent it. While I haven't heard from home since leaving on this trip, I don't believe any senti ment against the meeting has taken form. "It will bring hundreds of persons to the Coast and leave thousands of dollars in San Francisco and will be a big thing. "Judging by the way our party has been met and the questions- put up to us, there is no question about the interest in the- fight. To the people of the United States, at least, it is a bigger thing than the passage or defeat of important leg islation, Roosevelt's triumphal tour, or even the approach of the comet." JEFF SPENDS DAY FISHING Sunday He Will Spar Six Rounds at Santa Cruz Theater. BEN LOMOND. May 18. There was little or nothing in the Jeffries camp to day. In company with the members of his staff nd a number of personal friends, Jeffries spent most of the day fishing in Monterey Bay. The party left early this morning and were joined by the women of the camp early in the afternoon. Regarding the switching of the fight from Emeryville to San Francisco. Jef fries had this to say this afternoon: "I have not been notified by the "pro moters of any chang-a, but I'd just as soon box in San Francisco as any place I know. Most of my big championship battles were decided there, and the town has always been a lucky one for me.'.' Jeffries will be back on the training job in the morning, and the fishing habit will be put behind him for a week at least. Eddie Graney left for San Fran cisco this afternoon. Next Sunday night Jeffries will spar six rounds with his partners in a Santa Cruz theater and also go through his gymnasium route. The show is the first of a series of three arranged to help pay the expenses of the training camp. TWILIGHT SCHEDULE MADE Churches of East and West Side to Battle oil Diamond.

Victors Take Another Step Toward Pennant" in Interscholastic 'Baseball League. One more step toward the Inter scholastic League pennant was gained yesterday afternoon by the Washing ton High School baseball team by vir tue of its shutout of the Portland Academy team, by the score of 2 .to 0, on Multnomah Field. Earl Cobb, the doughty little Port land Academy captain and pitcher, twirled winning ball,' but his support was poor at critical moments and lost the game. This was the last game that lodd win play in the Portland Inter scholastic League. , Cobb let the Wash ington High batters down with a total of only four bingles and made seven of the opposing players whiff the ozone. Houck pitched his usual stronsr. heady game and let the Portland Academy team down with five hits, two of which were made by the opposing pitcner, n;ari cobo. Eight men were struck out by Houck. A number of changes were made in the Washing ton Hfgh School team's lineup. Cor nell started the game at third base and ended up behind the bat. Cobb started In the center garden and wound up at his old position, third base. Anusen and Jones, left fielder and shortstop, changed places. George formerly in center field, covered sec ond. The changes gave the team more etrengtn in neicting. In the third Inning, after two men were out, Cornell hit through short stop for a single and went to third on a single to center field by Anusen Rumelln mussed up Wilson's Infield tap and Cornell scored and Anusen took third, but was left : on base because Houck struck out. The second run was made In the sixth inning. Wilson, first man up, drew one of the two free passes Issued by Cobb and went to sec ond on a passedjball. Townsend, In the effort to catch him napping "off second heaved the sphere into center field and the runner went to third.. Houck and Moreland were easily out on files and when . Masten failed to keep his foot on the bag after receiving a throw of Cobb's grounder to Cookingham, Wil son scored from third with run No. 2. Cobb was caught trying to steal sec ond and- the side was retired. Portland Academy twice had a man on third, but the batters following failed to connect and no run was se cured.

CARNIVAL WILL BE FREE ,"Hasbeens". and "Almost Wases" Expect to Settle Arguments as to Baseball Supremacy, Once and for All, This Afternoon. BY W. J. PETRA1N. Today will be a big day among the "hasbeens" and "almost wases" of the Portland baseball fraternity, for a game will be played at the Vauehn- street lot this afternoon between Lou- Manarrey a "Kimonos" and Pete ' Dil on's "Overalls," which, .it is said, will be a decisive struggle between the baseball talent of Portland which en joys the exaggerated ego of ambition in circles of the National game. Lou Mahaffey gained fame by play ing first base for the champion Port land team of 1901 and ever since that time he has lived on his reputation; at least, to a certain extent. Lou claims that he can play first base Just as good as he ever could, but he would rather be an umpire than anything else -because . he thinks he has it on "Silk" O'Laughlln, Tim Hurst, Jack Sheridan and even Buck Keith, when it comes to handling the indicator. On that account he is quite proud of his record as a champion first baseman, for he claims that no other aspirant for an umpire's Job ever held a similar posi tion. Mahaffey has gathered a fine collec tion of former diamond stars. Including "Handsome" Joe Stutt and "Red" Ehret. The latter is really the star of the bunch, for "Red" pitched good ball for many years in major league company and was the star twirler of the Cin cinnati National League club for six or eight years. Ehret has it on Stutt as far as diamond experience is con cerned, though Stutt is much the older of the two, and this is one point which causes arguments from time to time. If Max Donohae and Lou Adams mention Stutt's age to him this morn ing and attempt to maintain that he Is older than Ehret, Lou Mahaffey will have to have Stutt's kimono cut down to fit another player, as the handsome one is quite likely to refuse to play if he loses an argument. Bill Bailey, the biggest ball ; player in the world, is another member of the Mahaffey squad, and Bill claims that he can massacre any covered base ball " delivered to him by a regulation pitcher. As Pete Dillon's team has no "regulation" pitcher. Bailey is likely to be extremely disappointed in his efforts at batting, and if he can cap ture fly balls hit to the outfield with any degree of certainty he will be entitled to his portion of the stakes just as if he had earned it. Curt Wessels says he will back Bailey to the limit. Joe Mahaffey, brother to Lou, and also a former member of a Portland league team, is slated to play. Joe earned a' home in the hearts of the Portland fans by pitching and winning a 16-inning game at Tacoma -in -1902; and ever since then his friends have been watching his efforts with consid erable Interest. Joe says his arm is not right, so he will play an Infield position this afternoon. All the fans of Portland are invited to see this game this afternoon, and no admission fee will be charged. The reason for the generosity of the rival clubs Is that they could not agree on the charitable institution to be ben efited and decided to make it a free-for-all affair. If the game this after noon is a success in point of attend ance they expect to repeat the per formance later on and for the benefit of some Institution doing good work for the community. CHURCHES ENTER ATHLETICS Boys of Sunday Schools Will Partici pate in Field Meet. The churches of Portland have now under way plans for a large track and field meet in the early part of June. The meet as proposed will be the largest undertaking of this kind that has as yet been-attempted by . the churches of the West, and in carrying it through, Port land will be following the example of all the large cities of the East, rwhere for some time Sunday School athletic leagues have been established. The meet will be open to boys of the Portland churches and Sunday schools who are between the ages of 14 and 20, and they In turn will be separated into two classes, those above and those be low the age of 16. Delegates from the different Sunday BChools will meet Friday evening at 7:30 in the club rooms of the Third Presby terian Athletic Club, and all churches which have not already joined the under taking may do so by sending a represent ative to this meeting. Jefferson to Meet Columbia. In the final game of the season for the Jefferson High School in the Portland Interscholastic League, Columbia Univer sity and Jefferson High School will to morrow meet on Multnomah Field.
