On a field that was more suitable for a frolic 'of healthy ducks than for the playing of gilt-edged baseball, the Port land nine administered a defeat to the Spokane Blues In the four and a half In nings opening game played yesterday af ternoon. The score was S to 6. A crowd of rooters "was in attendance to the num ber of 1500, that showed that the baseball spirit of the old days Is not yet dead In Portland. There -were there rooters whose hair has grown gray In their days of fol lowing the National game, and they watched the contest on the muddy ex panse of the diamond as eagerly as when they were boys playing the old game of town ball on the village lot. There was some brilliaSit fielding work by the Port land team. Three double plays of start ling excellence brought the cranks in the bleachers and grandstand to their feet with cheers of unison. When Muller caught Kurran's fly in long left field and threw it to first in time to retire Black, the crowd went wild with appreciation. The throw was one of the finest ever seen on a "ball field, sailing straight Into First Baseman Mahaffey's hands as steady and true as an arrow. The debut of Cal Black, the crack third baseman of the local Fontellas, was also an event of Interest to the bleachers. He celebrated his advent to the professional ranks by getting two nice hits and play ing an errorless fielding game. Swin dells, the new catcher of the Spokane team, also made his debut, catching a good game and landing on the ball for a twobagger. The wet day was responsi ble for his unfortunate error, when he sent the ball whizzing over first base. The batting of Weed was one of the features of the game. With the bases full in the first inning, he stepped confi dently to the plate and met the water logged sphere for three bases, bringing in three runs. Tinker was also one of the grandstand favorites. He fielded -his po sition In great style, was responsible for a pretty double, and vied with" Weed In his efforts to send the ball tearing out to a red painted ad on the fence, the reward i for which would be one oottie or spars llng champagne or a box of rich, heavy Havana cigars. The game lasted only four and one-half Innings. Rain caused frequent intermis sions, and at the end of Spokane's turn at bat In the fifth, Umpire McDonald called the game. Portland being In the lead, the game went to the home team. The Spokane captain, Bottenus, filed a vigorous protest, having called his men on the field in a lull in the storm. Hav ing nothing to lose and everything to gain, be insisted on playing. McDonald, however, held that the grounds were not In shape to play. His decision was strengthened by the patter of rain that started before the expiration of the re quired 30 minutes, when he called the game off sine die. The season was opened with eclat. President Lucas, of the league, intro duced Chief of Police McLauchlan, who made a neat speech commending the game to the patronage of the public, and then tossed the ball over the plate. Spokane forced three runs across the plate in the first Inning. Thielman came up first and faced Chief of Police Mc Lauchlan, who tossed the first ball over the plate: and it was a ball, too, for it struck the lagoon at the home bag and splashed into a puddle of water. Dis concerted by the honor of being the first man -up in an opening game, Thielman modestly struck out at the easy lobs that Salisbury was floating up. Donahue took flrfct tn Delsel's error, the greasy ball "being fumbled. He was advanced to third by Marshall's two-bagger, and scored on Bottenus' bunt to pitcher, the fielded ball being sent through VIgneux. Swin dells, flew out to Tinker- Hurlburt reached first on Anderson's error, and Marshall scored. Bottenus scored on Black's sin gle, and Kuran struck out. Portland "Won in the First. Portland won the game In the first in ning, sending six runs around the muddy circuit. Muller 6ent a scorching hit through short. Brown took first on Don ahue's error. Anderson filled the bases by being hit by a pitched ball. Then the heavy-hlttlng Weed came up and sent the wet, soggy ball smoking out over the ground to the left field fence, bringing In three runs. Tinker brought In Weed by a a long, high drive to center, netting two bags. Sammle VIgneux had negotiated a few balls, when down came the flood of rain and the game ceased for 30 min utes. Then the sun came out nice and warm, and VIgneux stepped to the bat again to be retired at first on his hot grounder to pitcher. Mahaffey went out the same way. Delsel took first on short stop's failing to smother his grounder, reached second on the overthrow to first, and scored on Salisbury's nice single to left. Muller, the first man up, retired the side by popping an easy one to Hurlburt Spokane came up in the second with grim looks of determination painted on the players' faces, only to retire In one-two-three order, after Glendon had started out with a pretty single to left. Thielman was assisted out at first through the ef forts of Tinker. Donahue flew to Muller. Marshall struck out Portland got two hits, but not a score, in its half. Brown and Anderson were neatly fielded out. Weed came to the bat and soaked the ball for two bases in a muddy pool in right. Tinker singled to center, but was put out at second. Black neatly fielding Vigneux's grounder and tossing the ball to Shortstop Marshall. Holler's Pretty Double. The pattering rain did not deter Spokane from making two runs in the third. Bot tenus was hit by a pitched ball, advanced to third by Swindell's two-bagger, and scored on the throw in from the field. Swindells reaching third. On the throw in from Hurlburt pop to Brown, Swin dells scored. Black singled, and the side was" retired, by one of the prettiest double j cxiays ever seen on any uiamona. -aiacK was taking a good dead oft first, when Kuran flew out to Muller, the latter "re turning the ball by a beautiful throw, that sailed into First-Baseman Mahaffey's hands just the twinkling of aneyejash before Black reached the bag. The root ers all cheered and hugged each other, and were all glad that they had come. Muller was given an ovation at the plate, and compelled to bow and doff his cap. With the score 6-5, the Portlands deter mined to run up a little -larger lead. .They made a poor start, however. Mahaffey flew to short. Delsel met the heavy sphere for a single to left. He was re tired at second by Shortstop Marshall, unassisted, who had fielded Salisbury's 'grounder. "Marshall, however, by this play missed what should have been made a tneat double. Then the Spokane fire works commenced to smoke. Muller took first on the error of Kuran, and Salisbury chased round to third. Salisbury scored on Swindells' tossing the ball over the first-baseman's head In an effort to retire Muller. who was way off the bag. Muller took third, and scored on Brown's timely hit to left Anderson sent the ball roll ing to third, and Donahue covered himself with mad and draw a laugh from the bleachers by slipping and falling in a puddle of "water. It was a shame to score an error against him. Weed, the next man up, sent the ball to the same place, and Donahue almost repeated the per formance, recovering himself in time, however, to put out Brown, who was running to third from second. Then he clapped his hands in jubilant self-satls--factlon. On the sloppy field he had per formed a truly Temarkable feat Portland kept up its streak of pretty fielding in the fourth. Tinker pinched in Glendon's pop. Thielman singled to left Donahue sent a drive to Tinker, who threw Thielman out at first retiring the side. The last time at the bat for the Port lands was In the fourth. Tinker took first on a hot one, that went through Pitcher Glendon. VIgneux went out, pitcher to first Mahaffey flew out to pitcher. Delsel was hit by a pitched ball, and was put out at second by Black, unassisted, who fielded Salisbury's grounder. In the fifth Spokane scored its last run, Marshall took first on Delsel's error, and was advanced to second on Bottenus' hit. The next play was a neat double, Delsel assisting Bottenus out at second, after fielding Swindells' grounder, Ander son then throwing Swindells out at first Marshall scored on Hurlburt's single, and Black went out, third-baseman to first Bain by this time was coming down in lumps, and Umpire McDonald called the players off the field. After about 20 min utes there came a lull in the downpour, and Captain Bottenus called his men out on the field, and did his best to urge Umpire McDonald to call the Portland team to the bat The latter, however, persisted in his belief that the grounds were not in fit condition to play the game, and called it, Portland, therefore, winning out, S-6. Bottenus then registered a vo ciferous protest. Today will be ladles' day at the ball park, admission being free to the fair sex. The game will be called at 3:30 P. M. Detailed Score of Game.

Fully 2000 knights and citizens turned out to see Everett defeat Whitman College in a magnificent game of basebalL The score: Everett 2; Whitman, a SHAMROCK - WRECK (Continued from First Page.) as to what should be done toward re pairing them. The ladles on board the Shamrock n were the Marchioness of Londonderry and Mrs. W. . Jameson. From, the sudden ness with which all the spars and canvas were ripped out of the challenger, It looked as if everything had been blown out of her with one gust The wind "was fresh at the time of the accident, and was blowing occasionally in stronger gusts, but there was nothing in the weight of it to threaten disaster. It is probable that the whole gear would have stood the strain well enough, had it not been for a weakness in the eye of the plate by which thebobstay was secured to the stem. This eye was the first thing to break, and when It gave way the unstayed bowsprit was, unable to stand the pull of the jib, and broke off short by the stem hold., As it went the topmast stay was released and PORTLAND WINS FROJH SPOKANE ON A MUDDY FIELD. llSiiil FT work illv CHIEF KlUCHLAN IN Trtt THROtb OF ORATORY. the spar doubled up under the pull of the big club topsail. The jar of these .break ages and the slackening of the stay weak ened the mainmast After tottering for a. fraction of a second it crumbled up, breaking first just above the jaws of the gaff and then within three or four feet of the deck. KING EDWARD'S NARROW ESCAPE. A Few Seconds Later -and the Boone Would Have Hit, Him. LONDON, May 22. The escape of King Edward during the dismasting of the Shamrock II was narrower than at first supposed. The heavy steel boom of the challenger was just swinging aboard when the catastrophe occurred. Had the break come a few seconds later, the boom would have been right over the deck, and It is impossible to estimate what damage might have been done. As it was all the gear fell clear of the yacht, the end of the boom being just clear of her port quarter. When the mainmast went over it was still held by shreds of metal, but It hung plumb down, and grounded in the mud. The Shamrock I's gaff broke In two, leaving the middle length swinging loose sup ported by the peak halyards. As the Shamrock II was being towed back to Hythe, she picked up two doctors of Nettley Hospital,. whose boat had been swamped. King Edward dined aboard the Erin In Southampton waters, and arrived at Southampton pier in the Erin's launch shortly after 10 o'clock this evening. He was accompanied to the train by Sir Thomas Lipton. He received a cordial reception from, the assembled crowd. The Mayor of Southampton and his wife were Introduced to his majesty when he landed. The King was in admirable spirits, and none the worse for his adventure. Ac companied by the Marchioness of London derry and Sir Stanley Clarke, King Ed ward left Southampton at 10:15 P. M. and arrived In London at midnight The King drove to Marlborough House, where he was cheered by a small crowd awaiting his arrival. Numerous telegrams were await ing him from Emperor William, the crown heads of Europe and others, congratulat ing him on his escape. AWAITING FURTHER ADVICES. New Yorlc Club Takes No Action in Matter of Postponement. NEW YORK, May 22.-&lr Thomas Lip ton cabled the New York Yacht Club to night that he was afraid that he would have to ask for a few weeks' grace owing to the accident to Shamrock II today. Secretary Oddle, when asked what action the New York Yacht Club would take on the request of Sir Thomas Lipton, answered that all he could do was to point to the cablegram sent by the New York Yacht Club to Sir Thomas Lipton. He said that the club would wait further advices from Lipton. When asked if further time would, be granted to Sir Thomas, he said that all that was just right and sportsmanlike would be done. He Intimated that all time in reason that Sir Thomas required would be granted. The following answer to Sir Thomas Lipton's cablegram was sent by Commodore Ledyard: "We all sincerely regret new Sham rock's accident Glad no one was In jured and trust result to the yacht is not serious. Will await further advice from you before any further action." Independence "Will Participate. NEW YORK. May 22. The cup com mittee of the New York Yacht Club to day discussed the Lawson controversy, but withheld a statement as to the con clusion reached. It is learned unofficially, however, that Mr. Lawson will participate In the trial races June 15 to 17 at New port and arrangements will be made for Mr. Lawson's boat to participate In the other races. The cup committee, it was said, realizes that the contest is an In ternational one, and .not confined to the New York Yacht Club.

A Soataera Paciao View of the Isth- siiaa Waterway Union Paciao Deposits Collateral. WASHINGTON, May 22. J. C. Stubbs, vice-president of the Southern Pacific Company, before the Industrial Commis sion today, took a strong position against a reduction of 'rates from Chicago and St Louis to the Pacific Coast, so as to bring them below the New York rates to the Coast . He expressed the opinion that rates from New York should be lower than from Chicago and St Louis, because of water competition. He said the only reason for the agitation is found in the desire of Chicago and St Louis merchants to invade the field of the San Francisco jobbers. Mr. Stubbs also expressed the opinion that the construction of the Nicaragua Canal would be a serious blow to San Francisco, saying it would take from that city much of the trade which it now has with Hawaii and the Orient and give it to the cities of the Eeastern seaboard. "San Francisco has been demanding the canal for years," he said; "but if It is built, that city will get it in the eye hard." He said that the Pacific Coast now Is supplied abundantly with facilities for communication with the Eastern States, and that he did not consider that there Is an opening for the Burlington, if that line should build to California. UNION PACIFIC'S NEW ISSUE. Collateral Has Already Been Depos ited by the Company NEW YORK, May 22. The Tribune says: "Bankers afflllated with the Harriman syndicate say, that "collateral for the entire 5100,000,000 Union Pacific first Hen convertible 4 per cent gold bonds of 101, recently authorized application for listing which has been posted at the Stock Ex change, has already been deposited by the Union Pacific, but the exact nature of this collateral cannot be learned. It Is understood that the $75,000,000 of Southern Pacific stock purchased in February with the proceeds of $40,000,000 of the bonds rep resent part of it and it is assumed that the Northern Pacific stock recently bought aggregating at least $78,000,000 par value, according to the statements of Union Pa cific interests, also was deposited as col lateral security. No estimate can be formed of the total amount paid by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. for their Northern Pacific holdings, although It is believed on good authority that they secured most of their preferred stock at well under par. A provision exists, it is said, by which a substitution -of collateral may be ef fected; so that If the whole amount of Northern Pacific stock bought shall be turned in as collateral, part of the com pany's property originally covered by the mortgage may be withdrawn from that obligation. . "It Is the opinion In the street that the $6,000,000 bonds if sold at par as were the $40,000,000 which were disposed of at the time or the Southern Pacific purchase would not meet the cost of the Northern Pacific shares bought by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. The suggestion is therefore heard that possibly some arrangement may have been made for the sale of part of those stock holdings in the St. Paul and the Northwestern, the safeguarding of the In terests of which was declared to be partly the object of Mr. Harriman and his asso ciates In buying for control of the North ern Pacific." The Tribune pays: "The conference just held between A J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsyl vania Railroad; William K. Vanderbilt, H. McK. Twombley and other directors of the New York Central at the Grand Cen tral station, led to the report that a suc cessor to Samuel R. Calloway was the subject under discussion. This was de nied last night It is now said that the Western situation that is the control of Union Pacific and Northern Pacific was under discussion. It is understood that the Pennsylvania and the New York Cen tral will act in harmony in protecting their Interests in the Western territory Just as they act in harmony in the East 'The Pennsylvania Is practically In con trol of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad now, and will, it Is said, operate It In harmonious relations with the Union Pacific and Chicago & Northwestern, both of which are practically Vanderbilt roads. It is also said that the Morgan Hill scheme in the Northwestern terri tory is viewed by these interests with dis favor. WAREHOUSE COMMISSIONERS. "Will Visit Portland on Their Way to San Francisco. CHICAGO, May 22. Between 50 and 75 members of the railroad and warehouse commissions of the Eastern and Middle Western States will depart from Chicago next Tuesday in a special train for San Francisco, where they go to attend the 13th annual convention of the National Association of Railroad Commissioners. Many of the delegates will be accompa nied by their wives and other members of their families, and the party will occupy six Pullman cars. The delegates will gather In Chicago Monday and in the afternoon they will hold a meeting to discuss In advance a number of questions that will come before the convention. From Chicago the route will be via the Burlington to St. Paul, the Great Northern to Neche, Canadian Pacific to Vancouver, the Northern Pa cific line to Portland and thence to San Francisco over the Southern Pacific. Probably the most Important question to be considered by the Commissioners at their convention will be the proper Inter pretation of gross earnings of railways. The Southwestern. Combination. NEW YORK, May 22. The World says: "In connection with the delay on the part of the Missouri Pacific directors in acting on the dividend, there la a plan, it is said, on foot to widen the scope of the proposed Southwestern combination by securing a New York outlet. It is said that some large stockholders of Lacka wanna have received offers for their hold ings from sources that indicate that Mr. Gould may want that property as part of the greater Missouri Pacific system.' It is declared that if Mr. Gould secured con trol of Lackawanna, an arrangement would be made whereby the interests of the New York Central and Pennsylvania would be protected." Southern Pacific Official Resigns. SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-J. S.

ADVANTAGES Of Spring and Summer Treatment in Catarrhal Affec tionsIts Supreme Importance to Those With Enfeebled Constitutions, Weak Lungs and a Tendency to Consumption. The lesson to those with enfeebled constitutions, weak lungs or a tendency to bronchial trouble or consumption, of the vital opportunities that Spring and Sum mer offer them. The best teaching is the teaching that will save the most lives. And this lesson to those with the slightest predisposition to consumption will save more lives than any that can be taught In the Spring and Summer catarrh may be more speedily cured: with Nature helping the work, the result is more certain; after the cure, the constitution re sumes, its normal condition more quickly; those so feeble that they should not evert expose themselves to the weather during the Winter may visit the offices, and are helped In the progress of treatment, rather than injured by the exposure- to outdoor air. It Is then during the Spring and Summer that catarrh In its early, stages. In volving maybe the nasal passages and throat and vocal cords and windpipe, may - be most speedily cured, and the danger of It3 extension into the deeper part of the bronchial tubes and lungs averted. It is then only during; the Spring: and Summer months that those more desperate cases involving the lungs themselves may he treated Yrlthv any hope. , One month of Summer treatment Is worth two months of the most careful Win ter treatment, and If all who suffer from catarrh were wise enough to devot a little of the Summer to treatment there would be few cases of catarrh to treat; cases of deafness would become rare; head noises a curiosity, and chronic coughs and consumption would be reduced to a minimum. Treatment That Cures Stomach Disease, Catarrh and Deafness Mr. E. M. Foudray, residing at 262 East Davis street Portland, and employed by the Gratton & Knight Manufacturing Company: My trouble came on about two years ago, and soon developed into a bad case of catarrh, affecting the head, throat, ears and stomach.

At times everything' would be- rejected by the stomach, and I suffered with heart burn belching, etc. I could not sleep at night or work in the day, and was making arrangements to quit, for the struggle was getting too hard. My friends knew of my condition. and upon their advice I began treatment , at the Copeland Institute. I am thankful I did, for I was soon improving, and now feel better than I have In years. I eat and sleep well and have no more head ache. The ringing and buzzing Is gone, and my hearing is perfect? also my smell and taste. My strength came back, and I can do my work easily.
