Chicago Game Postponed. ST. LOUIS. July 26. Chlcago-St. Louis game postponed; wet grounds. Fandom at Random PRANK MILLER went on the hill for the Seals yesterday and he held tha McCredie squadron absolutely helpless when it came to run-getting. Miller's layoff while the Seals came North must have done bim good. - Portland had several chances to scora yesterday, but the fielding of the Seals proved too strong for them, and Me Credle's hirelings were either tossed out on the bases or left with three men out. With a chance to win the game ln the fourth inning, McCredie substituted George Ort for Martinke.' but it did no good, for George could not get the ball out of the infield when the sacks were loaded. Elmer Koestner. the former Angel pitcher, butted into the win column for the Cleveland American team by beat ing the league leaders, the Philadel phia Athletics. Koestner allowed the Mack men but six bits, while the "Naps" scored double that number off "Indian" Bender. Two measly errors back of Walter Johnson- the Idaho pitching marvel now with the Washington American League team, proved the undoing of that club at the hands of the Chicago White Sox yesterday, for Comiskey's men nosed out a 3 to 2 victory through errors. When ths Beaver team went South Sun day night, Gus Hetling was left at home. Manager McCredie evidently figures Tommy Sheehan to be a better man, though there are many of the fans who do not agree with him. . e Portland ras three candidates for the extra berths as umpires when Judge Graham appoints the two new men to complete the double system. Lou Ma haffey. Kirby Drennan and Ed Rankin are the candidates. Fielder .Tones, who returned to Portland yesterday after playing with the Chehalis team Saturday and Sunday, says that the enthusiasm over baseball in that little league In something he has never seen before. While 1n San Francisco Manager Mc Credie may attempt to land one or two players from the disbanded California State League clubs. One player vBig Mao is especially "sweet on" is Kuhn, the red headed chap formerly with Fresno. . The fans, who now have a two weeks' vacation, will be kept busy discuasing the games by wireless. Every fan imagines he has inside "info" on the games played away from home, and some hot argu ments can be expected. J. J. Parker, better known as "Billv," and a billiard and pool expert of Port land, is still nursing a grouch for having gone to Reno to pay jboo lor the privilege of seeing Jack Johnson waltz into the world's championship. 'Billy" thinks somebody ought to be arrested for takln money under false pretenses. From Spokane comes the report that Big Jack Ehrlein, formerly a pressman or a Portland paper, is being groomed to beat Jackx Johnson. Big Jack Is big enough to lick a half dozen Johnsons, but he is too good-natured to care to fight anyoooy. riia ' sioe-Kicker. Jack Kirk, eays Ehrlein would not lick a postage stamp without .it hurting his feelings. Fourth Heat Record Equaled. KALAMAZOO, Mich., July 26.

BOND RATE RAISED Multnomah Club Paper to Pay 6 Per Cent Interest SALE TO OPEN THURSDAY Assurance of Increased Earnings and Splendid Security Expected to Prove Attractive to Buyers. Temporary Quarters Secured. Instead of at 5 per cent, as first announced, the Multnomah. Amateur Athletic Club will sell the $200,000 worth of bonds at 6 per cent. The In crease in the Interest was decided upon by the board of trustees at a meeting on Monday night, that the ready dis posal of the securities would be real ized and that active work upon a rew clubhouse and improved grounds might be started soon. At the new rate of interest, the bonds, which will be redeemable In five years at par, are considered a good in vestment by many Portland business men, who have signified their willing ness to take large parcels of them. The subscription list for the sale of the securities will be opened Thursday morning by the bond committee, com posed of W. C. Bristol, chairman. Fen ton building; Edward Cooklngham. Ladd & Tllton Bank, and L. J. Gold smith, Corbett building. Bond Issue Reduced. The total authorized bond issue was $250,000. but it was thought unneces sary to issue that much and the pro posed issue was placed at $200,000. These are first mortgage bonds and. as they are based upon security of over twice the valuation, no trouble Is ex pected in selling them It is proposed to use half of the money derived from the sale of the bonds in eercting a new clubhouse on the South end of the grounds, fronting on Salmon street; the other half to be applied in improving-the grounds, field, constructing a new grandstand and in liquidating the present - indebtedness, which amounts to $50,000. The coupon bonds are ln denominations of $50, $100, $500 and $1000. Temporary Quarters Secured. . Within the next two weeks tempo rary quarters, to be used until the new club building Is ready, will be located at the old Macleay residence, on Yam hill street. The work of moving into the building will begin next week. The house, with its broad expanse of green lawn on all sides, is an ideal club loca tion. In the new quarters a billiard room, cardroom. reading-room, smok ing-room and a- general lobby will be found on the two upper floors, while tne basement will be equipped with lockers and shower baths. The Mac leay residence occupies an entire city block and is bounded by Yamhill. Tay lor, Lownsdale and Sixteenth streets. Double Handball Dues Suggested. At a meeting of the handball players and committee of the Multnomah Club at the Commercial Club last night, it was decided to propose to the board of trustees that all the handball players of the club be assessed double dues for a year. This proposal is to reimburse the club for the expense of construct ing a handball court on the Macleav site. The cost of a new handball court would be about $900, reported A. B. McAlpin, chairman of the handball com mittee. There are about 40 handball playing members of the club, and the proposed fee system for a year would more than reimburse the club for the cost of a new court. The proposal will be sub mitted to the board of trustees at to night's meeting. , BTJRXS DENIES FIGHT IS OFF Pugilist Gives His Side of Story About Meeting Lang-ford. SEATTLE, Wash., July 26.

I wired him that I wanted 40 per cent of the receipts to meet Lang ford, but that I was still willing to tackle Johnson for 35 per cent of the gate. "Johnson, being the champion, is en titled to the largest share of the re ceipts, but between Langford and my self, I am the card, and that's why I asked for the 40 per cent.
