Portland Players Outclass Helena on a. Sojrgry Field. Rain and a muddy field caused yester day's baseball game between Portland and Helena to be called off, after the fourth inning had been half finished. When time was called, the score stood 7 to 0, in favor of the home team, and had the game gone the limit, there is no tell 4.3&.MPW" many more gray-uniformed play ers would have crossed the plate. The day was wet and the field soggy, but Flennery and his men wanted to play, so the game was called in the pres ence of a fair-sized crowd. Hartwell pitched for the visitors during the first Inning, but Vigneux'a men found him easy, and five runs were scored during the inning. Two safe hits and the same number of "two-baggers" were scored by the Portland batsmen, and there was one free pass to first. The players slipped and slid around in the mud like ducks in a puddle, both teams enioying the sport. When Helena came to the bat, Shaffer, the first man up, popped out on a longjly to Max Mullcr. Peeples then tried his bat, but the result was almost the same. Hupp catching a slippery ball and going through a number of acrobatic stunts with his face in the mud. Flannery was the third victim, going out at first on a short grounder that landed right in Ma haffey's hands. After that Flannery took the slat him self, and pitched a fairly good game, con sidering the fact that he has a badly swollen finger. Van Buren scored a run in the second, and Delsel In the fourth, after which the rain began to descend in such quantities that the contest was called off. Joe "Mahaffey, who occupied the box for Portland, did good work throughout. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago and Detroit "Win Games. PHILADELPHIA. May 14.

Oregon Track Athletes Leave for Seattle. The University of Oregon track team arrived on the Southern Pacific overland last evening, .and departed on the 11:30 P. M, train, over the Northern Pacific, for Seattle, where the dual meet with the University of Washington will be held j on Friday afternoon. Tne team consists ui liie louowing men: opnniers, vapuuii C. A. Payne, C. A. Redmond and Fred V. Lewis; middle distance men. Kirk Shel don and C. M. Perkins; mile runners, A. C. Shevla and Calvin Casteel; hurdlers, Thomaa L. Williams and F. G. Thayer; vaulters and Jumpers, L. A. Henderson and C. D. Harms; weight-thrower, Rich ard Glider. The men are in charge of ex-Captain C. A. Redmond, who haa been training them for the past eight weeks. When seen last evening, Mr. Redmond 6ald: "Our team Is in fairly good condition, but the wet weather has confined our training work to the gymnasium and given us but little opportunity to get Into good racing condition. Most of our men are novices, and the team misses such athletes ao Heater, Poly and Smith, the men who made lost season's team invincible. The meet with Pacific University gave us an opportunity to size up our new men, and I am pleased with the way somo of them performed. Washington has a great adV vantage over us In having nearly all of her old point-winners, and her men havo been favored by more agreeable training weather. We hardly expect to win against such odds Tjut may surprise the Seattle boys In some of the events they are eount Ing on. The Oregon relay team will con sist of Payne, Sheldon, Perkins and my self. "In regard to our protest against the Pearson brothers, I believe that we were amply justified In our action, and am convinced that the Pearsons ehould be disqualified. I have affidavits from re sponsible parties showing that these fel lows ran under assumed names and where money prizes were offered. Another thing that looks bad for the Pearsons Is the fact that they tried to hush the matter up, and offered to come to Eugene to col lege If the Eugene men who saw the races at Pendleton would agree not to disclose their professionalism. Such business as this doesn't look Tight, and ought to debar three boys from further participation in college athletics. We have a good case against the Pearsons; and will submit to the judgment of an arbitration commit tee." The Oregon team will return from Seat tle on Saturday. THE DAY'S RACES. Races at Worth.
