"With Tiree 3Ien on Bases Pitcher Sillier Flew Out, Then Portland Won 4-3. Melodrama: Why Spokane Lost, or How the Winning- Hun Was Scored. Act X., Scene L The Portland Baseball Park: Score 3-3. (The field Is dotted with players In suits of blue. These are 'the Portlands. They wear white stockings. At the bat are men In suits of reddish gray. They wear blue stocking: and are the Spokanes. In the grandstand are men and women in modern attire. Thev frostfrni.it i .,.. ?me.' Siap each other on e back, rise i th 7 . yel1- Boys s0 trough the stand yelling In shrill treble. "Pea outs, popcorn, candy, and ice cold soda." Often they make a sale, and then is heard the munching and crunching of the roast ed tubers. There is one man on the field In citizens clothes. He is the umpire, -toward him the players often start, then move back, as if cowed by his gesture or defiance. In the background paint a large fence covered with advertisements, use Jenk's Vegetable Compound." "Buy Xour Shoes at Never-Wear-Outs," a glar ing mass of discordant colors. Over the fence to the right is the Chapman school, toward which the players yearn to send home-runs and to smash the upstairs "windows. In the distance arise the air clad hills. A small boy has climbed up a telegraph pole and is stealing a glimpse of the drama. The day is bleak. The sun has hidden Its face behind a cloud. On the players' bench a dozen blues are sitting. A small boy hands them copious draughts of ice water.) McDonald (Standing erect with the air of a mart inet): "Batter up." (A thin, elongated jjiaycr snuines to the front of the stage.) Risley; "Here I am, my noble liege." Engel: "Weigates, mein freund, wie Befinden sie zich?" (He ties himself into " now Knot, and then throws a ball Ewutiy at the batsman.) "Dere, how do you like dot once again?" McDonald (laconically): "One strike." (Engel launches himself Into space again. Jiisley Is seen to crouch like a panther for a leap. He swings on the ball with his bat.) Uisley: "There, my Dutch charmer, xanke scheln for that peachy ball." (The ball bounds swiftly over the foreground of the stage. The players hustle Into ac tion. Delsel throws himself headlong to ward the ball. He seizes It, and throws it swiftly to first) The Crowd (men and women cheering Eotto voce): "Bravo Delsel. Good boy, Jake. "Do it again, Engel." McDonald-(running to first): "You're out." (Risley walks disconsolately back to the players' bench. Voices are heard to eay. "That's all right old man, we'll pull out this game yet." A tall, solid Scotch man walks to the plate, grabbing a bat as he goes. Before the grandstand he is given an ovation. "Hit her out, Scot- Tie, yens a small boy, "This isn't crick et.") Knox (soliloquizing): "No, this is whawr j. cut tne Dall for me, and square mysel' wl' the crood." (He swings at the ball desperately. It rises from his bat, and soars up to the wings. A distant fielder is seen making tracks to head off its trajectory flight. It drops into his hands. He pauses a moment, then throws it into the diamond.) McDonald (to Scottle): "You're out." The Crowd (all together): "Isn't he a peach? Well, he's the best ever. It's all off with the Bunch Grassers." (Engel's head is seen to swell visibly. A heavy, dignified man with the air and visage of a Shakespearean tragedian is seen walk ing in stately tread to the .plate. He treats it like a pulpit) Hurlburt (aside): "A walk! A walk! A kingdom for a walk!" Engel (the arch villian who has over heard the rash offer): "Ach, mein leiber, dot kingdom 1st mein." (He throws four balls. Hurlburt walks blithely to first while a lithe, young blade steps to the front) Engel (to Hurlburt): "Ach, where is the new kingdom?" (Hurlburt is heard to laugh hoarsely.) Swindells: "Hurlburt for you I would lay down and die." (He strikes a mighty blow for his cause. The ball goes to right field. It is stopped by the watch ful Glendon. Hurlburt goes to second. A tall, young man. with a moustache like Shakespeare's lover, and sighing like a furnace, waltzes gallantly to the plate, keeping perfect time to the entrancing music that Is heard from the wings.) Corbett (not Jim, but Teddy, of Seattle): "Here's where I die for my country- My last words were, "Tis better to have fought and died, than never to havedied at all.'" (He sends the ball whizzing to Tinker, who gropes for it blindly. He stalks about the stage in a frenzy. "Oh, that I should have lived to see this," he mutters. He fails to throw the ball. He clutches it and stares at it wildly. A ray of light bursts upon him. "Excelsior," he says, "I have it" The bases are now full as Miller enters, valiant and confi dent, a small man of Napoleonic build and achievements.) Miller: "T can see them now, those head JInes: 'Miller Won the Game; In the Tenth His Home Run Scored Four Runs; the Doughty Little Spokane Pitcher Played the Whole Game for His Nine, and Killed the Ball When the Bases Were Full.' (He swats the ball. His dream would have been realized, but one Brown captured his fly. The Spokane team slink out on the field.) Scene n. Same. Portland team comes to the foreground. Manager Grim: "Now, fellers, don't throw away the game when you have it right in your mits." (Music is heard rising in intensity, until its shrill notes arouse the feelings of the audience. Muf fled drums beat and roll. Thunder Is heard in the distance. Lightning flashes. The Doughty Engel is seen tripping his light fantastic toes to the plate. His face is set and determined.) Engel: "Here is where ich spatziereng ehen." McDonald (without a trace of emotion): "One ball. One strike. Two balls. Three balls. Four balls." (Engel throws away his bat und lauft to first Muller comes rtp smiling. He says nothing. That is the source of his greatness. He hits p. pop fly to Third Baseman Shelton. Shel ton runs in like a house on fire. He falls short of reaching the ball. Muller has sped to first and now Engel Is running to second. Shelton staggers to his feet He throws the ball wildly to Shortstop Marshall at second. The ball rolls out in the field. It goes through a line of men backing up second. Engel speeds in home. The ball, when thrown in, wanders aim lessly over the diamond. Engel scores.) The Crowd: "There it's over. Wasn't that great scoring on an error. Port land wins. It's all off but the shouting." (The shouts are given. Spokane walks in defeated. The crowd files out of the grandstand. A thin, young man with a red vest is being condoled with.) Rooter: "Hard luck for Spokane, old man." Spokane Manager Dodd (he of the red vest and Tod Sloan build): "Hard luck, rats. We've got a lot of dubs." (He boards a street-car that moves off across the stage, as the field and grandstand are suddenly shifted away.) Small Boy (type of the hole-ln-the-fencc-spectator): "I soly. Mister, what's the score?" Dodd (in disgust): "Portland 4; Spo kane 3." (The car moves away, with rooters hanging on the sides. Curtain. Finis.) How the Runs "Were Scored. Portland scored two runs In the first Huller went out Miller to Uisley. Delsel took first on Knox's error. He stole sec ona. Anderson fiew out Tinker scored Celscl on a two-base hit over Corbett'sj head. Weed scored Tinker by a single to left Brown went out Miller to first Portland scored again in the second. Vlgneux opened up with a fine two-base hit Glendon sacrificed him to third. On Marshall's error In handling Engel's ground ball, Vlgneux scored. Muller struck out, and Delsel flew out to Lough eed. Spokane scored twice in the sixth. Aft er Shelton flew out to Anderson, Marshall singled. He took second on RIsley's out. Knox walked, making the second man on the bases. Hurlburt got a hit, filling the bases. Swindells did what was ex pected of him by scoring Marshall and Knox with a hit In the seventh the score was tied. Mil ler and Lougheed both flew out Shel ton sent out a nice two-bagger, and was followed by Marshall, who did the same thing, bringing in the run. With no one out, Portland won in the tenth. The features of the game were the fine catches of Glendon in right field and Hurlburt in enter. The score: SPOKANE. A.B. R. H. P.O. A. E.

MEDFORD, Or., Aug. 20.-Owing to the correspondent being misinformed, thp Monday Oregonlan stated that the ball game played at Jacksonville last Sunday for the championship of Southern Ore gon was between picked men from Med ford and Ashland. It should have read between Medford and Jacksonville, as there were no Ashland men in the nine. The Grant's Pass team has not lost a game this season. FOR JOE ACTON'S BENEFIT. Dr. Woodruff Will Go on the Mat With the Little Demon. Everybody who has even the remotest interest in athletic or sporting events is talking about the wrestling bouts between Joseph Acton, wrestling instructor of the M. A. A. C, and Dr. Wylie G. Wood ruff. They will be seen this evening in the gymnasium of the Multnomah Club, the use of which was tendered by the trustees of the club for a benefit to Ac ton. The outcome of the struggle is prob lematical; for, while no wrestler possesses science superior to that of the "Little Demon," as Acton Is called, the great strength of Dr. Woodruff, backed by a great amount of skill, should place the two men on an equality. Acton has been a profes sional wrestler for years, and has held the title of champion of the world, though his weight in those days was under 150 pounds. Dr. Woodruff is an amateur, whose knowledge of the game was acquired at college, when he threw every one who went upon the mat with him. Active work on the football field. in the 'varsity boat crew, as well as throwing the .hammer and putting the shot has developed his naturally wonder ful physique until he Is a veritable Her cules. His weight will be from 220 to 225, while Acton's will probably be 172. Tonight will be the first opportunity in many months for Portlanders to see a first-class wrestling contest. Acton's wrestling since he came here almost a year ago has been restricted to the work incident to teaching his pupils. Ed John son and Herbert Greenland, though ac knowledged to be excellent wrestlers, are helpless in his hands. Now, pitted against a big, clever man, all the science for which he is .famous will be needed to win a victory or prevent defeat. Neither he nor Dr. Woodruff will make any pre dictions as to the result. However, It Is apparent that both are looking forward to the bouts with confidence. Joe Kahn and Will Sherman will put up a fast match. Sherman has the advant age In weight, but Kahn's experience is expected to counterbalance the other's weight. Their bouts will be hot ones. DeFrance and Price have met before, and Price was the victor. At their first match Price had the advantage of weight and condition, DeFrance having been troubled with a severe cold. Now the question of condition seems to be reversed. Holbrook and McCallig are favorites, and their bouts will be carefully matched. A decided difference of opinion in regard to the relative merits of the men has de veloped, which has caused much talk and will bring keen Interest to their bouts. EVery contest will be catch-as-catch-can, two best out of three, and the par ticipants gladly gave their services to make a" success of the benefit. The change to cooler weather will materially add to the large crowd which, in any event, is expected. Bud Smith, of Vancouver, will act as referee. Open Golf Championship. MIDLOTHIAN, Aug. 20. Lawrence Auchterlonle, the Glenvlew professional, today won the Western open golf cham pionship tournament. He made the 36 holes on the Midlothian Country Club links In 160. Despite the wet grounds a large gallery was present to follow the players, as the tournament is considered the most notable of Western golfing events. With few exceptions the players cov ered the first 18 holes In magnificent form. It had been expected by many that the player who made bogey 86 for IS holes would win the match, but In a number of cases the record was lowered. Records Broken at Salt Lake. SALT LAKE, Aug. 20. Eddie Smith, of Salt Lake City, broke the world's ama teur one-mile bicycle record on the Salt Lake Salt Palace saucer track tonight, riding the distance in the first heat of a mile handicap race In 1:57 3-5. This Is one and one-fifth seconds better than the previous record made by F. J. Hof man at Butte, Mont, a few weeks ago. In a 10-mile moter race, Clem and Charles Turvllle, of Philadelphia, estab lished a new world's record for the dis tance on an eight-lap track, their time being 14:23 4-5. The Tennis Championship. NEWPORT. R. I., Aug. 20. Semi-finals in the National tennis championship were played today between Ware and Larned and Wright and Little .before a large crowd. Larned won brilliantly from Ware In three straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. Wright defeated Little, 7-5, 2-6, 6-1. Wright and Larned will therefore play for the championship. Rich Copper Ore. SALT LAKE. Utah, Aug. 20. Ten car loads of ore, 258 tons, mined In the Beaver district in the Southern part of Utah and which were sent to Salt Lake City for analysis, are said to be the richest ever mined in Utah. The ore, according to the analysis, runs 40 per cent copper. The district is on the 'Frisco branch of the Oregon Short Line, and Is just being developed. As glycerine dries and cracks the ekln, never use It Satin-Skin Cream best re places all applications, is dainty, harm less beautifying. 25c. Meier & Frank's. HEAVYWEIGHTS SIGNED MATCH ARRAXGED BETWEEN JEF FRIES AXD RUHLIX. They "Will Meet in November or De cember Before the Clnb Offer ing the Best Inducements. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. Jim Jef fries and Gus Ruhlin, the pugilists, signed an agreement at Corbett's tills afternoon to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world, the match to take place some day in either November or December, before the club offering the largest mirse. The pugilists expressed preference for either the San Francisco Athletic Club or the Twentieth Century Club. Bids for the fight will be received and opened in public. The articles of agreement call for a division of the sate receipts on a basis of 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser. Kid Eagan's signature accompanied that of Jeffries, while Billy Madden, who repre sented Ruhlin, signed with the would-be champion. THE DAY'S RACES. Audubon Boy Won the Norfolk Stakes at Readvillc.

In the meantime Shamrock II will b'e got into trim for trial. The Lipton fleet, five vessels strong, attracts a great deal of attention from all passing craft, and from those on shore. The steam yacht Erin is the flagship, and she is anchored furthest to the south. Next to her comes the ten. der Porto Rico, then the tug James A. Lawrence, and then the racing yacht. The latest addition is a 40-foot launch, the Dufferln, with which errands to the shore are to be made. The moorings for the yachts inside the Horse Shoe have been, laid, and the fleet will probably go down there tomorrow. The Spaldlng-St. Lawrence Company, of Ogdensburg, has shipped to Shamrock several hollow spruce spars. There art four club topsail spars, ranging In length from 45 feet to 66 feet, and a spinnaker pole 79 feet long. This is the largest hol low spruce spar ever made. t Due to Baltimore Exposnre. BUFFALO, Aug. 20. Justice Kruze, in the Supreme Court, today appointed re ceivers for the Muskeok Lumber Com pany and the Chequessat Lumber Com pany of North Tonawanda. This action is the result of the recent exposure in Baltimore Involving the alleged wholesale "kiting" of promissory notes. The total assets of the Muskeok Company were said to be $232,913, and the liabilities $3S5. 055. The failure of the Chequessat Com pany Involves large sums and Is alleged to be due to the failure of the American Hardwood Company, of Cincinnati, which recently went Into the hands of a re ceiver. The total liabilities of the com pany are $443,447, and the assets $376,101. Paris's Glass Pavement. Architects' and Builders' Journal. The glass pavement which is making its way in Paris Is exciting the Interest of the curious. Its Inventor Is a Mr. Garcher, who manufactures' his product from finely crushed glass, which is sub jected to great heat and heivy pressure. The result is a substance which is said to be less affected by wear than the best and hardest granite, and to support a pressure of over 10,000 pounds to the square Inch. To break a slab of the ma terial a weight of nearly five tons falling from "a height of three feet was necessa ry. This glass pavement Is being laid down at the. expense of Its inventor In several test places where the traffic Is exceptionally heavy. If at the end of five years the pavement has worn well, the municipality has undertaken to adopt it on a large scale; if not, Mr. Garcher, who evidently has confidence In his ma terial, is under contract to replace the old pavement at his own cost. The new pavement is said to be noisy. SOME OLD TALES RETOLD. An English Account of Several Fa mous Oceanic Races. London Shipping World. The arrival of the Muskoka, the win ner of the race which is reported to have taken place from Portland, Or., to the United Kingdom, serves to remind us that the days of quick sailing are not yet ended. In the friendly test of skill which has just been concluded the competitors were the North German Lloyd s cadet training-ship, the H. S. Charlotte: the Glasgow ship Marlon Lightbody, and the Glasgow ship Ardencraig. The winner, under the command of Captain Crowe, made the run from Portland to Queens town In 101 days, 20 hours. Satisfactory as this lastest sailing rec ord. Is. It pales before the doings of some of the old-time "cracks," many of which also performed their speedy voyages with almost clocklike regularity. The Donald McKay, the celebrated "Black Ball" liner, was not only the largest clipper In the world, but was also accounted one of the fastest sailers ever built. Upon one occa sion she took 1000 troops from Portsmouth to Mauritius In 70 days, and her average time for six consecutive voyages from Liv erpool to Melbourne was S3 days, and only once it exceeded S3 days. The details of the famous race between the three China tea clippers In 1S66 are too familiar to need mentioning here, but the fact that a speed of over 16 knots an hour has been made by a sailing ship may not be so well known. The British clipper ship Hurricane, during the course of one of her voyages home from Mel bourne, attained this rate of sailing on several days, her best run being 270 knots In 16 hours. But It was after the '60s, and Indeed, well on into the '70s, when some of the best sailing records were made. And It is doubtful whether the performance of the Sir Lancelot, when she covered 14,000 miles in 89 days against the prevailing monsoon, has ever been equalled; certainly there are no authentic statements to show that It has been surpassed. The voyage was made in 1S69, from Foo Chow Foo to London, and her best day's run was 354 statute miles, while crossing the Indian Ocean, the average for one week being 300 miles a day. This was essentially a voyage under adverse con ditions. Perhaps the fastest passage be tween England and China was that made in 1S57, when the celebrated American clipper Pride of the Ocean did the run out from the Lizard to Hong Kong In. 69 days. SO THEY WERE MARRIED. Worthless Because He Was So in Love Employer Hastened Wedding. New Orleans Times-Democrat. "It does not always pay for a man to scribble all over the face of the earth the name of the woman he Is in love with," said a prominent business man the other day, "but it saved one fellow his job, and made a success of him. The man, who was then a mere youth, was working for me at $50 a month. I thought a good deal of his Industry, In telligence and accuracy. Suddenly he became very unreliable, making all sorts of Inexcusable mistakes. About the same time I found the name Amy written on blotters, loose scraps, on the wall ev erywhere. I called the young man to me one day and told him that he was get ting so careless and unreliable that I was going to give him 30 days In which to stop making mistakes or resign. Sud denly it occurred to me that the name 'Amy' was in his writing. 'Who is Amy?' I asked him abruptly. He blushed deeply. 'She's my sweetheart, sir,' he replied. 'We're going to get married as soon as I can save $300. I'm putting away $25 a month, and we'll get married in a year.' I looked at him hard, and he turned redder and redder. 'No, you won't,' said I, 'you'll be out of a Job, and what's worse, unfit for work before hten. You go to Amy and tell her she must marry you in a month.' 'But I can't do that, sir,' replied the clerk; 'I'm only beginning to save this month.' 'You do what I tell you,' I rejoined. 'You tell Amy that you've got her on the brain so that you are not worth $10 a month to me, and that if she does not marry you in a month you'll lose your job.' The poor fellow was in a quandary. 'She won't marry me,' he said. 'I must wait until I can give her a home. How can I get $300 in a month? 'Oh, that's all right. Jim,' I said; 'I'll let you have the $300. You can pay It back to me $10 a month. But you must be married Inside of 30 days. I'll give you 30 days to go on making mistakes while you're thinking of getting married, and CO days to make mis. takes while you're getting used to being married. Then no more mistakes, or out you go.' Well, Jim made mistakes for two days. He got married In SO days exactly. That was five years ago. Today he and his wife and two boys are as hap py a little family as you could And any where. He Is still working for me. He gets nearly $150 a month salary, and the first boy was named for me. Now, all this shows merely that a man should not let love affect him like 'dope,' and that most men achieve their best work when they are happy." Complications In Pern.

De Abad, commissioner for the Economic Associa tion of Cuba, who is at present in this city, says that he does not believe the commercial elements of Cuba are desir ous of establishing free trade tariff rela tions with the United States. He said: "Those who state that Cuba wants free trade with the United States have either been deceived or are trying to deceive the American people. What Cuba really does want Is to harmonize her Interests with those of the United States. This could be done by removing from 35 to 40 per cent of the Import duties upon certain products."

LYNCHING IN MISSOURI THR BE NEGROES LOSE THEIR LIVES AT PIERCE CITY. A Mob Took Possession of the Town and Drove Out the Blacks Bloodhounds on Wrong; Scent. SPRINGFIELD. Mo., Aug. 20. After all the conflicting stories from Pierce City have been sifted, it develops that three negroes lost their lives there as a result 0f the outrage upon Gazella Wild. The dead are William Godloy, hanged from the porch of the Lawrence Hotel and his body riddled with bullets; French God ley, grandfather of William Godley. shot in his own house; Pete Hampton, burned in his own house, but probably shot be fore the fire. Eugene Barrett, also known as Carter. In a confession while a rope was around his neck, accused Joe Lark, a 'Frisco porter, of being implicated in the crime, and Lark was arrested today in this city. This afternoon he gave a detailed state ment as to his whereabouts Sunday, and he is believed to be not guilty. Some here think that Barrett told any story to save his life. The funeral of Miss Wild took place to day and was witnessed by several thou sand people. Pierce City Is near the junction of four division of the 'Frisco, and trains from all directions brought in large numbers of armed men. bent on bloodshed. If nec essary. When the mob last night went to the section of the city occupied by the negroes, some one in the cabins opened fire, but no one was hurt The mob then destroyed the settlement, but the financial loss Is not great. Reckless firing broke several plate glass windows and a train was fired into. The rifles taken from the Pierce Clty Military Company, it Is expected, will be returned. Members of the company themselves were out hunting for the es caped negroes, with rifles, and this sug gested the idea of taking all the guns. The local hardware stores sold out their arms early, but several applications from negroes were refused. The mob was com posed of 1000 or more and no masks were used. Thirty negro families were driven from their houses. Many of the negroes who fled to the city are hiding In the surround ing woods, while others have gone great er distances in seeking safety. It is now believed that Will Godley. who was lynched, was not the real culprit. Citizens say that negroes will not be permitted to live here in the future, and that the few negroes not already expelled will be obliged to go. The cause of all the bloodshed was the killing of Miss Gazella Wild Sunday aft ernoon, as she was returning to her home, after attending church in town. She started home alone, her brother lingering behind. About one mile from town the brother found her with her throat cut. lying lifeless near a culvert, under which her assailant had attend . to drag her. Evidence of a terri' .. struggle was shown. A copper-colored negro was seen sitting on the bridge a short time before the tragedy occurred. It Is supposed that the negro sprang upon her when she was passing, and attempted to force her be neath the bridge. She fought with sucn desperation that he could not accomplish his purpose, and he cut her throat In the struggle. Her body was not violated. Monday bloodhounds were taken to the scene and the girl's bloody hankerchlef was laid before them. They immediately caught the trail and ran with full speed to the home of Joe Lark, where, on be ing admitted, they rushed into the bed room and sprang upon the bed. It is believed that none of the three men lynched was guilty of the murder of Miss Wild. Three suspects are under arrest George Lark, railway porter, at Springfield, Mo.; Will Flavors, also a por ter at Oklahoma City. Okla., and Eugene Barrett, at Mount Vernon, Mo. Lark says the murderer boarder with him, but fled. None of the suspects will he taken to Pierce City. The Governor had been asked to offer a reward for the arrest of the murderer, but says he will wait for Tnore definite information. TEXAS MURDERER BURNED. Mol Would Not Allow Him to Die Too Qnickly.
