J. PETRAIN. "Olivers" Henley seems to have the Boat of the Portland players, for yes terday he came near repeating his opening-day feat of shutting his oppon ents out, for one lone run was all Port land could lay claim to. That vas due to a three-hawser by Bill Rapps, while the Sin Francisco contingent rapped Jesse Garrett often enough to amasa a total of three runs. Tn some respects the same was in teresting, though at times the lagging tactics, especially Portland's, tried the patience of the fans. However, it was not on the cards for the Beavers to win, for the attenuated ilenley chap was all to the good in the pitching line. The aforementioned! Bill Rapps was the only Portlander who took kindly to the shoota of the big Seal twirler, for "Roaring Bill" spanked out three of the four clouts allowed. The Seals flirted with the register in the very first chapter, though it was after two men were, pickled that the run counted. Jesse Garrett succeeded in disposing of Royal Shaw and Kid Mohler, but Harry Melchior connected for a double-base crack, and Tommy Tennant, the demon-hitting first sucker of the Seal squadron, kicked in with a single to center which scored "Mel." Tom was nipped trying for second on the toss from Budrick Ryan to the platter. Not satisfied with the one ace collected in the. first,' the visitors again got busy with the Garrett curves and three blngles in succession scooted another across. Vitt opened by beating a bunt, and healthy singles by Bodie and Berry rang the bell. In Portland's half of the second Kid Mohler did the juggle act on Ryan's grounder and Buddy landed safely at the first station. Manager McCredie came through with a sacrifice, which advanced (Buddy, but Gus Fisher's foul was cap tured by Show, and two were out. This put it up to "Roaring Bill" and the silent first backer laced a lovely triple to right field which sent Ryan across. Georgie Ort failed to negotiate and Bill was left on the "almost" corner, for Henley whiffed the second Backer. Jesse Garrett made a presentation of the third run to the Seals. It happened In the fifth. Shaw singled to left, and Mohler walked. Melchior followed with another clout to the patch occupied by Speas, and the outer gardener toesed in ahead of Shaw, but Garrett, in accept ing the chance for a relay to Fisher, threw bndly, and Shaw tallied. That was all for "our boys," and when the last man was down the crowd wandered dis mally 'to the cars. Eugene Krapp will heave for Portland today, and his opponent will be Ralph Willis. Portland must win today or lose the series to the Seals, and McCredie will expect some extended efforts on the part of his men this afternoon. The official score of yesterday's game is as follows: SAN FRANCISCO. An R 31 PO A B Pha'.

GUS FISHER IS WELL UP Portland Catcher Is Tied With Mar- tlnke, of Vemon Briggs, Xew Sacramento Outfielder, Is in Second Place. Tommy Tennant, the big Seal flrst sacker, maintains" his position" at the head of the Pacific Coast League batsmen for the week ending April 24. The speedy Seal has lammed out 37 hits for an aver age of .852, and this clip, if continued, will surely land him a big league berth. Briggs, the new Sacramento outfielder, is second, with Martinke, of Vernon, and Gus Fisher, of Portland, of the regu lars, close up in the running. Fisher easily leads his teammates in the clout ing line, for he is hitting at .342, and seems to be keeping up the swatfest at the expense of the Seal pitchers. Wol verton, the Oakland chief, fell down dur ing the Portland series, for McCredie's twirlers had the veteran guessing . and his average suffered considerably. Buddy Ryan increased his average sev eral points and so did George Ort.

Manager Cox of the local base ball team will run special trains into Springfield tomorrow for the game with Eugene. A. train will be run from the Mowhawk to bring the lumbermen from Wendling, Marcola and the other mill towns along the line.

Mile run From these figures it will be seen that only in the 66-pound weight, of the events In which Horner has competed, is his showing inferior to that of Sheridan, and In that event he practiced only two days. Conse quently, as just remark, if there were no other considerations, it would seem that Horner could win easily from Sheridan if the two were to meet. But there are other circumstances to be considered, and they are of so serious a nature that in the absence of an ac tual meeting of the two men, the title must be lebt where it is found and Sheridan must be considered, the great est of them all. Sheridan Earns Honor. First of all, Horner's records in the various events were made at different times, and for the most part, we may assume, his best performance in each event was made at a time when he had not been fatigued by competition in other events. Not so with the figures are those recorded In the 1909 world's championship contest, and his work in at least part of the events must have suffered as the result of his strenuous efforts in the preceding, events. To be more specific, the half-mile walk which is the most trying of all events, and which leaves an athlete more unfit for further competition than does any other event comes fourth on the pro gramme. Subsequent to it are all of the events except the 10-yard dash, the shotput. and the high jump. It Is a reasonable and a correct inference, then, that Horner's best records would not be equaled by him if he were com peting under the conditions which gov ern the contest for the all round cham pionship. This brings us to the work of Sheri dan himself. " He became the individual champion in 1905, and was returned the winner again in 1907 and 1909. last year being easily the most remarkable. In winning the championship for the first time Sheridan scored 6820 points, nearly 500 points more than had been scored previously by any contestant, and yet last year in winning for the third time he raised his own record by another 500 points, scoring 7385, a mark which is more likely to succumb to his own efforts In similar contests than to those of any subsequent as pirant for championship honors. Athletes of Past Outranked. We hear much of Ford and Jordan and Clark, individual champions of times past, and undoubtedly they were great athletes. But when their work is compared with Sheridan's, it serves to emphasize the remarkable progress that has marked the history of track athletics and to stamp more clearly than any other agency could do pos sibly, the title of ohamplon on Martin J. Sheridan. In 1886 M. W. Ford won the individual honors, but it Is note worthy that in only one event, the 100 yard dash, which he ran in :10 2-5, did he excel the mark made by Sheridan last year, while in most of the others Sheridan's performance was so superior to Ford's that we are forced to wonder why we hear so frequently the claim that the old-time athletes were the greatest. ELXEJrSBTJRG HIGH IS VICTOR Track Championship of Yakima Valley Is Decided. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., April 30. (Special.) The Ellensburg High School track team won the Yakima Valley inter soholastlc meet at the State Fair grounds this afternoon with a total of 52 points, beating North Yakima by 2 points. Pros ser took third place, and Sunnyside fourth, with 17 and IS points, respec tively. Ellensburg, North Yakima and Sunny side took first and will represent this district at Seattle next month. Lester Cooke, of Ellensburg, and Edward Remy, of North Yakima, were the stars of the meet. No records were broken. COLUMBIA WINS GAME MULTNOMAH BOYS GO DOWN TO DEFEAT, 6 TO 2. Slow Playing, Aided by Poor Deci sions by Umpire, Makes Con test Uninteresting. Outhattlng their opponents during the entire game, the Columbia University team won yesterday's game from the Multnomah Club on the latter's field, by the score of 6 to i '. Columbia found no trouble in con necting with Jones. TCirk. aided by the work ofi Umpire Ed Rankin, held the Multnomah batters to seven hits. Columbia started Its run-getting in the second inning. Cliff Perkins led off with a single to center field and stole second. He was advanced to third by a sacrifice and scored by an error. Three tallies were gathered by the University boys In the fifth Inning by touching up Jones for three hits and a wild throw to first by McPherson, who filled in at third for the Clubmen in the absence of Parke Meyers. V. Perkins and Heywood got hits as the first two men up and Davis scored them with a three-bagger over Morris' bead in right field; Davis scored on the error a moment later. Four hits netted one run in the seventh inning for Co lumbia and a single and an error brought them their, last run in the eighth. Until the sixth inning Multnomah had only connected with the delivery of the auborn-haired Columbia twirler for two hits.
