Upchurch Team Wins.
Upchurch Lodge, A. O. U. W., baseball
team defeated the Fidelity nine yesterday
afternoon by a score of 9 to 8. Fans like
Ed Rankin, who umpired, agree it was
one of the best amateur games of the sea
son. Interest In the game was Intense,
and 500 spectators were present. The man
that tallied the score narrowly escaped
mobbing for marking up four runs In
stead of three for Upchurch in the fourth
inning. The feature of the game was
the pitching-of Mclnnis, of Upchurch, who
held his opponents down to a goose-egg
score after the third inning and struck
out 10 men in the game. By fielding er
rors his team allowed the Fidelity nine
to send five men across the plate in the
first Inning, and It looked like a walk.
But his men steadied down, gave him
good support, and the game was pulled
out in the ninth. Up to that time the
score was 8 to 6. With two men out, Mc
lnnis walked, and the fireworks then
started on the Fidelity side, and three
Upchurch men scored.
Zan's catching and Alnslle's work at
second base for Upchurch contributed to
the victory. For Fidelity, Aitstock's
catching, Senner's pitching and the cred
itable work of Newall at shortstop, who
played an errorless game, were worthy
of note.
Both teams have now wen a game, and
the final match will be played within a
few weeks. Next Sunday a picked nine
from the Upchurch and Fidelity teams
will play the Woodmen of the World on
the Portland baseball grounds.
Following is the score by innings:

Golden Wests Won.
The Golden West (Closset & Devers)
baseball nine defeated the Gresham team
In the return game played yesterday morn
ing In Alblna. The score was 22 to 8.
The Greshams were handicapped ii he
first few Innings by the fact that they
had to play without their regular pitcher.
When he arrived, the lead of the Golden
Wests was too great to overcome. Mc
lnnis" pitching was the feature. The 17-year-old
lad pitched a great game In the
morning, and repeated the performance
In the afternoon, when he was in the box
for the Upchurch Lodge nine. The bat
teries were: Golden Wests, Hume and
Mclnnis, pitchers, and Bredemeler, catch
er; Greshams, J. Steele, Shattuck, W
Steele, pitchers, and Moll, catcher. This
victory Is the seventh out of eight the
nine has played. "

tators witnessed some exciting sport at
the Vallsburg track today, but none of
the professional stars were present. The

Monroe rode steadily throughout, and fin
ished strong, making the distance in 7:27.
The old figures were 7:47 4-5. The 25-mile

A Watch-Face Joke.
New York Times.
Hardly one man In a hundred can cor
rectly mark on a piece of paper the nu
merals on the face of his watch, even If
he has carried the latter for years. Bet
ting small wagers on the proposition Is a
very pleasing hot-weather amusement to
a number of patrons of the Hoffman
House, who are aided in their amuse
ment by the fact that the numerals on
the two faces of the swinging clock In
the rotunda are not alike. About every
man stumbles on the four-hour mark. On
most dials it Is represented by IIII, but
nearly everybody marks It IV. Then
many insist on making VI for the sixth
hour, when the watch face invariably
shows a second hand and ho mark for the
sixth hour.
Colonel Joseph Cunningham and Will
lam Sautter were requested to mark a
paper, but before doing so Colonel Cun
ningham was marched to the desk on an
excuse that he was wanted, while Mr.
Sautter remained near the door. Both
glanced at the clock from their respective
viewpoints. The Colonel marked IV for
four, while Mr. Sautter put down IIII.
Still each made mistakes. Colonel Cun
ningham asserted that he had correctly
marked the four, while Mr. Sautter- was
equally confident that he was Tight, and
the clock dial in view sustained Mr.
Sautter. Those understanding the joke
enjoyed it, and after many bets had been
made the matter was explained.

"soak," took a dose of strychnine by mis
take for medicine. His life was saved, but

TWO POPULAR PORTLAND CRICKETERS.
o
Hi i urn 1 i i
S. L. N. Gllman.
Much of the success of the Portland Cricket CluD Is due to the untiring
efforts of two of Its officers Presld ent S. L. N. GUmari and Secretary and Treas
urer A. C. Rae. Mr. Oilman Is t. veteran cricketer, and he Is quite an enthu
siast and authority on the popular British game. Last Saturday he was um
pire for the Portlands at the Portland-Tacoma cricket game, and discharged his
duties with fairness and satisfaction to all concerned. Mr. Rae has played
cricket both in this country and In Scotland, and next to Captain Lawrence he
has been the principal worker In the organization of the newly formed cricket
club. Mr. Gllman and Mr. Rae have made many friends by their excellent social
qualities.
when miles ahead. Up to the present year
a $1000 cup has always been given in the
schooner class, and a ?500 cup for sloops.
But tomorrow the value of these prizes
will be reversed, the larger of the cups
going to the sloops, cutters and yawls,
while -smaller cups are offered to schoon
ers. The reason for this change is that
In the p'ast few years the schooner fleet
has been constantly diminishing, the in
terest almost entirely being with the
sloops.
For tomorrow's races, 15 sloops and
yawls have been entered, while only three
schooners will probably start in that class.
As the sloop and yawl class includes, be
sides the Constitution and Columbia,
three yawls and five cutters, the owners
of these two latter rigged classes of ves
sels have arranged private prizes among
themselves, believing they have little show
with the two cup defenders.

MATCH FOR GUS RUHLIN.
He Will Go Against Joe Acton on
the Mat Next Month.
vius Ruhlln, the big boxer, who aspires
for championship honors in the prize
ring, Billy Madden, his manager, and his
sparring partner, Denver Ed Martin, will
open training quarters today at Second
and Gllsan streets. Ruhllri, when he Is
not after big game, is fond of a bout or
two on the mat, so that Billy Madden, In
casting about for something In the local
field to keep the big fellow happy and
contented, as well as in good condition,
made arrangements for a wrestling bout
with the retired ."Little Demon," Joe Ac
ton. This match will take place at the
Multnomah Club on August 9. Joe Acton,
once the champion wrestler of the world,
Is still strong and vigorous, and his work
Instructing the youngsters at the Mult
nomah Club has kept his hand at the
game In which he was once the foremost
exponent. The wrestling will be Graeco
Roman. Gus Ruhlin Is pleased at having some
match in prospect. He said yesterday: "I
have, 6f course, been looking forward to
my match with Jeffries, but I have been
unable to do anything to hurry It on.
Jeffries Is the champion, and you can't
force the champion. He takes his own
time, and, of course, I can say nothing.
"As to my match with Acton, I intend
to begin my training right away. I am in
fair condition already, but I need to do
some mat work. I have been unable up
to date to find any one that I can wrestle
with. When I trained for my match with
Fitzslmmons, I wrestled every day with
Roeber, and got Into very good snipe.
This match of mine with Acton will, be
a whole lot like a boxing contest in which
Acton was pitted against me. When Fitz
slmmons and I wrestled we were both
boxers and unused to the other sport.
Fltz beat men In six rounds in the ring,
while I took two falls out of him on the
mat, the first in 14 minutes and the second
in 12. Fltz had, however, wrestled a great
deal more than I had, having been fond
of mat work In training for his fights.
Acton should be able to give me pointers
on wrestling, but I have the weight, and
can keep him working. The contest Is for
the best two out of three falls.
"After my match with Acton we go to
Seattle, where Denver Ed Martin meets
Gus Russel, of Seattle. Russel is a big
fellow, over six feet tall, and well pro
portioned, weighing about 210 pounds. Mar
tin Is a clever fellow and the go should be
a good one, with the chances somewhat, 1
think, in favor of the dusky boy. Russel
Is a strong favorite in Seattle, and has
had considerable experience, having done
a good deal of fighting in San Francisco
and in Denver. This fight will come off
on August 12. After that I shall go to
San Francisco, where my match with
Jeffries will probably take place. I am
sorry that our match that was arranged
for in Cincinnati did not come off. There
would have been big money in the fight,
at least $100,000. San Francisco is a good
town, however, and the contest will draw
from all over the country."

THE RECIPROCITY FUNERAL
Strong Presentation of the Export
ers' View of the Cnse.
Brooklyn Eagle.
How greatly the Republican party has
disappointed the merchants and manufac
turers of this country and how completely
It has violated Its pledges In regard to
reciprocity is made plain by a study of
the treatles'that were negotiated but have
not been ratified. Some cannot be revived,
for the time limit has expired. Others are
still pending and will come before the
Senate In the next Congress. What reason
is there to hope that wisdow will have
been gained In one Summer and that Sen
ators will at this late hour return to give
comfort and consolation to reciprocity,
which, with protection. In the platform of
the party Is declared to be "a true meas
ure of Republican policy"? This turn
has been forgotten. It has lost its mother
and Is left to freeze at the door.
John A. Kasson, of Iowa, was appointed
by tho President nearly four years ago
to negotiate trade treaties with foreign
powers under the terms of the 'Dlngley
law. Full of enthusiasm ho settled him
self to his task In the belief that he would
have the support of his party in Con
gress. It is fair to say that he received
cordial co-operation in the State Depart
ment and the machinery of the Govern
ment was freely employed to assist him in
attaining the Important objects for which
he had been appointed by the President.
The information and the various agencies
of which the Government Is- possessed
were freely placed at his disposal, but
after about three years of Industry and
diligent effort, the Senate ratifying not a
single treaty of all those he negotiated,
he gave up the job as vain and returned
to the ranks of private citizenship. The
public knows that he worked zealously
and honors him for his devotion to the
principle. He tried and he failed, which
would have been the fate of any other
commissioner who should have undertaken
the thankless task.
So long as Commissioner Kasson made
agreements with foreign countries under
section 3 of the Dlngley law, which did
not require the ratification of the Senate,
he sailed on a smooth course. But the Re
publican Congress took good care that
executive officers should have very little
latitude along this line. The McKlnley
law, under which Mr. Blaine, with General
Foster's help, effected so many reciprocal
trade arrangements with South American
countries, gave some discretion to the
State Department. The treaties did not
have to be ratified by the Senate. But
the framers of the Dlngley law saw to
It that the basis for making a tariff
dicker In the State Department should
be confined this time to argols, brandies,
twine, oil paintings and statuary. With
so few privileges at hand Mr. Kasson
could not secure much on this plan. With
little to give, he could get little, although
he succeeded In making executive ar
rangements which have been of more or
less benefit to American trade with four
European countries France, Portugal,
Italy and Germany.
Under section 4 of the Dlngley law
reciprocity treaties were to be negotiated
by the President or by agents of his ap
pointment on a larger scale, but these
required Senatorial confirmation. Re
ductions on the Dlngley law rates could
be made up to a maximum limit of 20
per cent, and no less than 12 conventions
were completed and signed with repre
sentatives of foreign powers by Commis
sioner Kasson. The Franco-American
treaty came first, then six conventions
with Great Britain for Barbadoes, British
Guiana, Turks and Calcos Islands, Ja
maica, Bermuda and Trinidad, and
treaties with Argentina. Nicaragua, Den
mark (for the Island of St. Croix) the
Dominican Republic and Ecuador. Not
one of these conventions was ratified by
the Senate, nor did one come near ratifi
cation. On the contrary, they were openly
or secretly antagonized, and while the
time within which they may be approved
has been extended In some instances,
there is little enough reason to think that
they will meet with any better treatment
in the next Congress. The Republicans
rise to heights of oratory and sentiment
about reciprocity. Like the famous Irish
man they are in favor of the law, but
"agin its enforcement."
The French treaty, which is still pend
ing for an extension of time was secured
by a later protocol. Is one of the most
liberal which this Government can ever
hope to secure. We grant concessions to
France ranging from 5 to 20 per cent on
126 classes of merchandise, while we ob
tain from France reductions on no less
than 635 Items, averaging 26 per cent,
and In some Instances running as high as
60 per cent. It is almost the whole French
minimum tariff and yet with all the ad
vantages on our own side the Senate
refuses even to consider the convention
respectfully because of objections noisily
urged by a few manufacturers of cotton
hosiery and imitation jewelry.
The treaties with the British colonies'
gave them markets in the United States
for vegetables, fruits, sugar, molasses and
rum In exchange for concessions to our
machinery, canned goods, meats, cotton
seed oil, etc., a commercial exchange in
which we should have nothing to lose
and much to gain. The Argentine treaty,
the most Important after the French
treaty' offered concessions on our side
on sugar, hides and certain kinds of wool
Iq return for freer markets for our canned
goods, rope, twine, cereal foods, bacon
lumber, furniture and cotton-seed oil.
This treaty aroused even more hostility
than the convention with France. The
American wool-growers would have none

Now, what has come out of all wealth
of promise on the part of the Republican
party? Nothing but broken pledges to
the large manufacturers of this country,
who want larger markets for their goods.
Mr. Kasson has done hls duty. He will
receive due recognition for his Industry
and zeal. The weight of responsibility
rests upon the s-houlders of powerful
party leaders In the United States Senate
They have killed thesfr treaties and have
put upon their, party the onus of having
dealt a death blow to a policy which,
for years. It has laid claim to as Its own.
It remains to be seen what the country
will say to such open traduction of tho

AN EMPHATIC PROTEST. ,
Indiana Democrats Tired of Fntaons
Bouruonisiu.
Indianapolis Sentinel. Silver Dem.
We think we can speak for the Indiana
Democrats. We can assure Mr. Brvan
that an overwhelming majority of them
heartily indorse the Ohio platform. A
majority almost, If not quite, as great
was opposed to the adoption of the free
coinage resolution at Kansas City a year
ago. This was, not because the Indiana
Democracy believed that the movement
for the remonetization of silver had been
wYong, but because they recognized tho
changed conditions which had, for tha
time at least, removed the occasion for
it. and especially because they realized
the presence of a fundamental Issue com
pared with which any merely economics
question, however interesting, dwindled,
into Insignificance.
Mr. Bryan also says that "the money
question Is not out of politics." If Mr.
Bryaji means by this that the question of
the "free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 1C to 1 without the consent of any other,
nation" Is not out of politics, the Sentinel'
must reluctantly but emphatically differ
with him. The Sentinel was a blmetallst
before Mr. Bryan was heard of. It has
never been anything but a blmetallst.
But the Sentinel never believed that the
question was one of such transcendent
Importance as to justify the abandonment
of all other Issues In Its favor by the
Democratic party. It deprecated the ex
treme policies adopted at Chicago in 1S5S
and at Kansas City in 1900, but believing
In the Democratic .party and in Mr.
Bryan's Integrity, patriotism and ability.
It made as vigorous a fight for the plat
form and the ticket In both of those un
fortunate campaigns as any other news,
paper In the United States. The Sen
tinel's loyalty nnd the value of its serv
ices to the Democratic party cannot, then,
be lmpugnea by anybody. And the Senti
nel begs leave to say, with all the empha
sis It can command, that the silver ques
tion is out of politics, if not for all time, at
least for as long a time as existing condi
tions prevail, which may be for a gen
eration or more to come. It Is out of poli
tics because the American people havo
three times passed upon the question and
pronounced with constantly increasing em
phasis against free coinage. It Is out of
politics because the business of the world
has adjusted itself to the gold standard,
and because the relief which free coinage
was expected to afford has come from tho
Increased supply of gold and from other
causes. And finally It Is out of politics
because events have evolved another issue
so vital and of such overshadowing Im
portance as to dwarf It into insignificance,
even though It had otherwise a ralson
d'etre.
The Sentinel Is Mr. Bryan's friend and
admirer. It has done him valiant service
in the past. It has always believed In
him and wants to believe in him still.
But It warns him In all kindness that
the rank and file of the Democratic
party the boys In the trenches the men
who go to the primaries are tired of the
fatuous bourbonlsm which would link the
party to the corpse of nn Issue, which,
however vital at one time, has been killed
by the logic of events and burled under
a thrice-repeated avalanche of popular
disapproval.
