San Francisco's batsmen were as helpless as kittens before the on slaughts of Gregg: today and were eas ily taken into camp by a score of 5 to 0. During the nine innings only four lilts were annexed from the lanky Northerner and two of these were of a very scratchy nature. After swinging miles wide at most of Gregg's curves, "Tommy-' Tennant drove out a clean two-nagger to left, which some of the fans unkindly labeled as a blind swing and this was the only clean registered hit during the game off the Gaying-gun Titcher. Ten batsmen missed the third strike and most of them were placed into a hole before hitting into an easy out or double play. One of the features of the Northern wizard's work was his fear lessness In sending curves over after three balls had been called on him. Outfielder Speas was a minor hero, but he was a hero just the same, as lie lifted the ball over the right field fence in the second "spasm" with an other Beaver on the paths. Sutor was delegated by Danny Long to serve the shoots for the locals and apart from the second Inning kept the Beavers on "guess street" throughout. He was taken out of the game in the fignm inning to allow Eastley to bat for him and Sillier pitched the last spasm with disastrous results, no fewer than three runs and four hits be ing gathered from the Iron Man's de livery. The Seals used four players in a frantic effort to get on the score board, but all looked alike to the un assailable Gregg. In the second Inning Casey, the first man to face the Iron Man. singled to left field. Sheehans sacrifice placed him on second. Ort struck out. bit r-peas again did the pinch-hit act, scor lng Casey with a nice drive to the cen ter garden. Murray reached first on McArdle's poor throw to Tennant and Speas beat it home. Just to show how easy it was, Gregg annexed a blngle himself and Ryan's double to right scored Murrav, hut the pitcher was caught at the plate. The score: PORTLAND. R Ryan. Olson.

MINIKAHDA CLUB, Minneapolis, July 30. Mason E. Phelps, of the Mid lothian Golf Club, Illinois, won the W'estern amateur golf championship tournament a second time by defeating Charles Evans, Jr., of Edgewater, the champion of 1909, by two up and one to play in a hotly contested match in the finals of the Western Golf Asso ciation on the Minikahda Club links to day. Phelps won the title for the first time in 1908 at Rock Island. The winner played far better golf than his opponent, especially during the afternoon round. Evans was two up at the end of the morning round, the 18th being the hole that Phelps won. In the afternoon, however, the Midlothian youth started with a rush and evened the match at the end of two holes. After-that Evans never was able to regain the lead and Phelps jumped to the fore by . winning the fifth, but Evans evened it again at the sixth. The seventh and eighth went to Phelps, making him two up, which was the biggest lead he had at any time. The ninth, tenth and 11th were halved and Evans reduced' Phelphs' lead to one up when he won the 12th. That was the last hole that Evans could win and the 13th. 14th, 15th and 16th were halved in par fig ures. The match ended -in the 17th green, when Phelps ran down a six-foot putt for a two and won the hole. Evans missed a chance for a half on this hole when he sent a 20-foot putt one inch short of the cup. GAME INCREASES FUNGS COMEDY BASEBALL PLAYED IX AID OF MISS MAHR. Raz-Ma-Paz Xine Defeats Calef Bros. In Ten-Inning Contest That Is Funny to See. By the greatest comedy baseball game ever played in Portland the Ma Jorie Ma.hr benefit fund was increased about JJOO yesterday. The game was between the Raz-Ma-Paz and Calef Brothers teams, the former winning by the score of 5 to 4. The entire proceeds were turned over to the fund. The display of bonrhead work has not been equalled in Portland, even in the days of the Northwest League, but the players were continually spring ing laugh-makers. Probably no game of the National sport ever played In Portland provoked as much mirth as yesterday's contest. Occasional-, though, flashes of tolerably fair base ball were displayed by the Raz-Ma-Paz players. Hugh McCredie, who was said to have been a rival of "Cy" Young in his young days, essayed to pitch. The ef fort he made was funny. Me stood it almost three Innings and retired. Joe Stutt guarded the initial sack that is, he tried to. "Congenial" Jeems Rick erdson, otherwise known as "Chim mte." was staked in center field for the Raz-Ma-Paz. "Jonnle" Callahan played at second base. The ex-soldier and minstrel managed to trap one grounder out of 25 tries. "Has been" Druliot was to the Raz-Ma-Paz team at short stop what Hans Wagner is to Pitts burg, for the former big leaguer was the hitting demon and din't make more than a half dozen errors. "Smiling" Gus Hetllng. third baseman for Man ager McCredie, played the difficult corner for the Raz-Ma-Paz team. Three pitchers were used up by the Calef Brothers' heavy httters. Miley and Harwas had their turns on the mound after McCredie was retired. In the field the Raz-Ma-Paz team had three of the butter-fingered gentry. Andy Weinberger. Republican- as sembly nominee for Constable, was a good umpire. Ten long innings were required to decide the issue. Picture Men Seek Mandamus. CHICAGO. , July 30. Judge Dupuv. of the Superior Court, today agreed to'hear a mandamus suit seeking to compel the city to permit the exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures. Silica Brick to Contain Fireclay. ELGIN, Or, July 30. (Special.) Another brick company is forming to make a silica brick, with fireclay as a base. The new company is composed of the Plass brothers, who are well known sawmill men here, and G. W. Lelaney & Son. who are practical brtckmakers from Coffeyvllle, Kan.

Jimmy Lewis, tile San Francisco out fielder, is again the leading sticker of the Pacific Coast League, for he is clouting the ball at a .294 clirj with his teammate, "Ping" Bodle, close up. None of the "coasters" are hitting bet ter than .300, the coveted sluggers mark. Gus Fisher is still Portland's premier hitter, though even he has fallen a few points below his former mark. Casey, ltapps and Martinke have also slumped, which explains Port land's losing streak. Walter Nagle, the Angel star pitcher, continues to head the procession of box artists in the Coast League.

Raymond took the first game of the series by the score of 3 to 0. Jack and Guyn pitched good ball, but Ray mond hit in pinches, while the Farmers fell down hard when hits were needed. The three or four- bad decisions cut the home team off rfrom a chance to score. Two double plays, one by each team, included the fielding features.

TEAM WEAK IN FEW SPOTS Every Team Has Its "Jinks" and San Francisco Seems to Be Bea vers' Stronger Hitters in Outfield Are Needed. BT W. J. PETRAIN. Portland's large delegation of base ball fans received a rude shock at the reverses suffered by the Portland ball- tossers on their invasion of San Fran cisco, for the Beavers topped off the loss of the Series at Vaughn street by dropping- the first three games to Momer s outfit at the Bay City, mak ing a string of six straight defeats. it was galling to the fans, for they expected the Mackmen to make a bet ter showing on the road than against tne eais at home, but the team con tinued to enjoy a batting slump that was -woful to read about. No matter which pitcher the Seals sent against them, it seemed that Portland could not touch him, and defeat after defeat was chalked up against the erstwhile league leaders. Fans Still Optimistic. However, despite the reverses, the big majority of the fans are optimistic ana still nave faith in an ultimate re versal of form. McCredie has a first clai team, and it is worthy of better things, and a much more successful series can be expected in the future. Like all of the clubs in the league. Portland needs strengthening: In one or two spots, but at this stage of the game it is extremely difficult to make improvements, for it happens - often that mid-season changes are for the worse instead of better, and managers oi oatt ciuds are forced to experiment. The Portland team right now is on a par with any of the other olnhs vet San Francisco seems to be the jinks to MCi-reoie s squadron. This, incident ally, is but the- same experience that other clubs have in the various base ball leagues. In the American League ror instance, every season the Wash ington club invariably is the "jonah of Cleveland, and St. Louis likewise nas tne "goats" of the Boston club. In the National League St. Louis gen erally proves the bane of the New i "ik vjiunia, wnue rjoston has it on the Chicago Cubs. Right here in our own league it is repeatedly demon started that Sacramento has the Indiai sign on San Francisco, but seems to be helpless against the rest of the teams. Seals Are Portland's "Jinks." Such Incidents form a peculiar side or tne National game, and one that can not be explained. Portland Is sue cessful against every other club in the league but San Francisco and, had the McCredie band been able to break even with the Seals. Portland would now be enjoying a splendid lead In the race As it is, the Seals have won two games to tne Beavers' one in the inter-club series, and it has been just about .this same ratio whenever the clubs have met in the past three years. The wisest of dopesters cannot explain this pe culiar feature of baseball. It is a phe nomenon inexplicable and- most tanta lizing, but Portland is not the only club to suffer from a "jinks." Against the San- Francisco "hoodoo" to Portland can be cited the victimizing of the Los Angeles club by McCredle's men. Portland likewise has scored de cisively over Sacramento, yet both of these team have been greatly suc cessful when pitted against Mohler's team. Portland Needs More Batters. Excepting in batting strength in the outfield, the Portland team ranks with any of the other clubs individually, and the McCredies have been trying for weeks to remedy this one defect. To secure high-class players at this time is practically impossible, for no club holding hard-hitting outer gardeners cares to dispose of them. Good hitters are too valuable to be disposed of at any time, for that matter. The Pacific Coast League race, how ever, is still close enough to permit of any one of the first five clubs winning out eventually, and Portland Is one of those five clubs. McCredie's team is doing great work in this extraor dinarily close struggle for the baseball honors, and' this -ought . to incite the fans to boost instead of to censure the management. Cincinnati Spoils Champions' Win ning Streak of Late. PITTSBURG. July 30 Cincinnati broke Pittsburg's winning streak to day by a score of 4 to 2.
