Misplays. errors of judgment and a teeming inability to realize that they were playing baseball caused the Port land team to fall once more to take the lead in the Pacific Coast League race, for Vernon beat the McCredie squad by a 5 to 4 score yesterday. The successes scored by Vernon re cently have switched the result of the present series from six victories and two losses for Portland on Monday, to'i seven victories and six losses on Saturday, and it means that if Roy Hitt beats the home team today the Hooli gans will have made it an even break on the series of 14 games, and that, too, after Portland had won six of the first eight. That McCredie needs to inject a little ginger into the gang working for him in such fashion is the belief of many a fan. Gregg Pitches With Sore Arm. Yesterday Vean Gregg complained of a sore arm. yet he was sent on the mound to start the game. He started it. and so did Vernon start something, though all of the runs chalked against Gregg were not due entirely to his poor i showing, for the trio of runs registered in the second inning were caused by poor fielding and bad judgment on the part of the Beaver infield. Only one hit was scored in the second inning, and that was made by the first man up. so there was something "rotten in Denmark" in the fielding line. Stovall's triple and Norman Brashears single gave Vernon a legitimate run in the first inning. In the second Burrell singled through short field. Lindsay dumped one and Casey failed to field the ball neatly and quickly enough to get Burrell at second, which allowed both hands to be safe. Brown followed Lindsay's lead and because he thought Rapps' foot was off first on Casey's toss to the bag, "Joke" Finney ruled the runner safe, and the bags were loaded. Carson bunted to Gregg, who fieided too slow to get Burrell at the plate, but tossed to first ahead of the batter. Car lisle fanned and things looked brighter, but when Stovall dumped one in front of the plate Gus Fisher heaved the ball yards wide of first, and Lindsay and Brown scored, making Vernon's total four aces to naught for the home guard. Strong Bid Fails to Win. ' In. the ninth the home guard made a strong bid to tie the score, but after registering three of the necessary four runs they had no chance of getting the -other ace. Rapps was safe on an error by Lind say, and took second on a wild pitch. Casey' out. did not advance Bill, but Gus Fisher sent Rapps to third with a hit to left. Hetling smashed one to the- left-field fence, which was good, ordinarily, for two bates, but after both Rapps and Fisher had scored. Car . lisle's toss to get the latter eluded the grapplers of Drummond Brown, and Hetling traveled the entire distance. Carson steadied after that and disposed of McCredie and Felix Martinke, who went in as pinch hitters for-Speas and Ort, and the game was over. Happicus Hogan announces that Hitt will try to make it an even break for Vernon this afternoon, while McCredie will send Krapp or Steen 'against, the Hooligans in the endeavor to clinch the series.

PLAYERS TO RETURN TODAY Wickersham and Gorrill Victorious in Doubles at Spokane Tourney, hut Fail In Singles Andrews Is President of Association. Portland s delegation of tennis players to the annual tournament of the North Pacific International Lawn Tennis Asso ciation and the Spokajie Country Club, at Spokane, will return today from the Inland Empire, where they made a fair showing. In the international tourney the Portlanders brought back with them the doubles championship of the North, west and second place in the men's sin gies. In the Epokane Country Club tour nament, however, the Oregon men failed to show as winners. The championship in the men's doubles was won by Ralph Gorrill and Brandt Wickersham. representatives of the Irv ington Club. After winning the tourney. they then defeated the defenders of the title. Russell and Fitz. of Seattle, for the doubles championship in the North west.

Tyler Defeats Wickersham. After heating Joe Tyler in the interna tional tournament Wickersham was him self beaten in the Inland Empire cham pionships by the man whom he had pre viously defeated. After disposing of Wickersham, Tyler easily won the Inland Empire championship in the men's sin gles. Ewing and Andrews, of the Multnomah Club, were eliminated from play in the international tournament without much trouble, although Andrews defeated sev eral of the players from outside clubs. Ralph Gorrill. of the Irvlngton Club, was beaten by Schwengers in two straight sets. 6-4, 6-2. L. M.

PENMEN SEE FIGHT Famous Writers Give Version of Jeff-Johnson Mill. WOMAN'S OPINION VITAL Helen.- Dare, for California. "Paper, Only Feminine Sewswoman on Scene Comment of Sport News Handlers Interesting. ) Reno last Monday was the scene of the gathering of most of the famous sport critics of the- country, and each, of them sent out columns of comment on the re sult of tie big fight. ' Among these critics "was a woman, writer, who signs herself Helen Dare, and represented the San Francisco Chronicle. Miss Dare's story of the fight is one of the most interesting of all the yarns sent out. and a few excerpt from her pen are to be found among the following comments from various correspondents at the front: By Port us Baxter, Sporting Editor of tbe Seattle Pot-Intelligencer. Jack Johnson has revolutionized fighting. He will introduce moves that will be imi tated In the future whenever the semi circular glove la used. He towers above all other giant gladiators of the ring ax rock ribbed, snow-covered Mount Rainier domi nates and dwarfs the surrounding crags and Jeffries, "the hope of the white race." the hitherto undefeated champion, the most compelling physical force that ever stood before a mob of humanity, never had a chance. The ending in the fifteenth round was sudden, it was terrific, it was pitiful. By Billy Delaney, in San Francisco Bulletin. Fear lost the heavyweight championship of the world for Jeffries at Reno. He was afraid of Johnson. Form had nothing to do with it. Jeffries made a desperate, game fight, and did all any man could to regain his laurels, 'but it wasn't in the cards for him, or any other man. to beat the Jack Johnson who fought him yesterday. Jeffries was fighting the cleverest heavyweight that ever stepped into the ring, not barring Jim Corbet Jeffries was always afraid of Johnson. When I was with him he repeat edly refused to sign with Jack. When I found that he was afraid to fight the negro I left him. Jeffries promised me faithfully he would fight Squires. I made a match at his re Quest and he ran out on it. Had he met Squires, as he promised to do. he would have defeated Squires and Burns, the man who lost the championship to Johnson. John son would never have become champion, and. therefore, Jeffries is directly responsible for Johnson being champion of the world today. I realized that I would have lost all the honor I gained in the prize ring in the last 40 years if Johnson lost, but I thought him so good and such a great fighter that I took the chance. By John L. Sullivan. ex-Champion of the World. The fight of the century is over and a black man is the undisputed champion of the world. It was a poor fight as fights go. Scarcely ever has there been a champion ship contest that was so one-sided. All Jeff's much-vaunted condition, and the pro digious preparations that he went through, availed him nothing. He was not in it from the first bell tap to the last, and as he fell, bleeding, bruised and weakened in the fifteenth round, no sorrier sight has ever gone to make pugilistic history. Practically he was knocked out twice in this round. By Waldemar Young, In San Francisco Chronicle- There was no shout. There was no crv. There was Just that tense, feelable silence which comes only with big moments. And It was drama the rea! drama which is of real things and human emotions and no make-ups. Painted scenery would have been about as much in place as a Vermont school mam at a smoker. There was no make believe. There was Just a great com pelling tragedy set in a desert scene, with a desert sun for the calcium. Here some thing happened something which cannot be erased from the tablet. The thing was done. It was done with one rehearsal, done fine, too, gentleman, to a. brownish. By William K. McCarney, San Francisco Bulletin. The "battle of the century" has been fought. Big Jeff, the last hope cf the white race, failed most miserably in his efforts to reclaim the title Johnson, the herculean black, took unto himself when he bowled over Tommy Burns in Australia 18 months ago. From the very beginning Johnson was master of the situation. At no time was he in danger and did not show a mark as the result of Jeff's padded fists coming in contact with any part of his body. While it was evident from the fifth round that it was only a question of how long Jeffries would be able to stand up under the punishment Johnson was dealing out to him, the end came unexpectedly. ' Helen Ta.re. San Francisco Chronicle. The two men. the black and the copper colored, watched each other with glances that seemed to bind tbem together like LAST WEEK. ; -. :;i ' or 9.

The eyes determined everything when to attack, when to seem to attack, when to guard, when to parry. It was a game these men were playing. I saw. be fore the first three minutes had passed a game as intricate, calling for as much skill as chess: a game in which the opponents conceded each other not a hair's breadth, in which every movement and expenditure of skill and strength must count; a game of superb strength and fitness matched against superb strength and fitness. It was wonderful so wonderful that that vast bowlful of humanity breathed in unison, watched as with one pair of eyes, spoke with one voice. About the 11th round of the fight and I see now why men like to read the fight by rounds well, about the 11th round of the fight I saw Johnson s face take on a stronger, bolder confidence, a sort of . laughing but ever-watchful impudence. I saw that fierce aggressiveness waver from Jeffries' eyes and a sort of. angry wonder come Into them. By E. D. Borrows, San Francisco Bulletin. The tiger sprang. The bull, confident in his battle strength, shook him oft. The tiger sprang again, this time driving his saber teeth into the face of the bull and his eager claws into the softer flesh of his sides and belly. The bull, now thoroughly alive to the possibilities of his own danger, stamped angrily and chajsed upon his foe. The tiger, deftly avoiding" he charge, sprang again, and another bloodstain appeared on the- face of the bulL Again, again, again will it never stop? Suddenly the old bull falters; his huge legs move shakily as he tries to avoid the attack. .Another stinging blow in the face, two to his body, two more to his face and. while the whole world gasps astonished, he crashes to the ground. By Mike Murphy. Expert Trainer. I have no pleasure In saying "I told you so." I picked the winner, and my Judgment that Jeffries was not in shape to cope with the wonderful negro has been vindicated. But, like all Americans who admire Jeffries. I cannot but feel the deepest regret over his downfall. It is a pity that he allowed them to bring him back in the ring to meet a man who was his master in every particular, and it is not fair to permit this sentiment to take from Johnson one iota, of the credit that is his It must be remembered that he has beaten fairlv the man who has been ac claimed the greatest fighting man the world ever knew, and he did it fairly and squarely, absolutely on his merits.

Union Founded in America Has Picturesque Tent Scheme for Unemployed. LOCAL ISSUE IS SERIOUS Payment of Tonnage Rate to Long shoremen Having Been Rejected by Arbitrators, Unions Re pudiate Their Agreement. LON'DOy, July 9. (Special.) It seems unnecessary to take, seriously the rport that a wholesale strike of British sea men is likely to occur this month. It Is true that an organization calling itself the International Seafarers' Union, founded recently in the United States, has issued a circular In which it pictur esquely refers to the provision of camps for 40.000 seamen at the principal British ports in the event of a stoppage of vork. It may be doubted, however, whether there will be any such stoppage, and if there is. it is difficult to see why encampments should be required. Seamen when ashore do not usually live under canvas. Clearly, too, they would be at a disadvantage, for the camps would have to be at some distance from the docks, and "blacklegs" would have matters pretty much their own way. Plan Seems Vague. "Were it not that the talk about t encampment rather appeals to the imag ination, the announcement of the Inter national Seafarers' Union would almost, have escaped notice. As it is. it is said that the men must sanction the pro gramme before even the canvas is or dered, and something is also said about a conference at Copenhagen to consider the replies of shipowners to questions which have not yet been formulated, much less put to them. All this seems to suggest a rather nebulous scheme, not likely to be helred by the fact that seamen's organizations in this country are under a cloud, for reasons which need not be particularly inquired into. As might be expected, the International Seafarers' Union seeks to deprive the Shipping Federation of any authority as an employers' organization. No doubt it is intended as some sort of reply to the International Shipping Federation, which was recently brought into existence. Tonnage Rate Faulty, For some years past this country has been singularly free from anything ap proaching a general strike of seamen. If the guess may be hazarded, it has now less to fear from any, trouble of that kind than from disputes such as that which has arisen at Newport in connec tion with the loading of ships at the Monmouthshire port. As the quarrel there may conveivably affect the whole of the Bristol channel ports, the circum stances under which it arose seem worth noting. The practice at Newport has been to pay a tonnage rate for the loading of general cargo. On the ground that this led to hasty and careless stowage, with consequent damage. Houlder Brothers wished to intoroduce a day rate in con nection with the loading of their steam er, Indian Transport. The result was a strike. The Newport Corporation, rather than give police protection to men brought in by the Shipping Federation to do the work, preferred to pay the ship owners $500 a day as demurrage. Ultimately the dispute with the men went to arbitration. AMERICAN LEAGUE. BRITISH SEAMEN Won. Lost.
