All's well that ends wolL
Whatever may nave "been the feeling
of the Portland fans during the first part
f vesterdav'B came, no matter how many
moments of anxiety and disappointment
they were obliged to undergo, even If
their hopes "were about crushed to death
because of Tacoma's lead of the first four
Innings all was forgiven in the sixth
when. Muller, Deisel, Anderson and Hupp
were sent across the plate and landed
the game for the local team. Score S-6.
If it is a divergence of opinion that
"makes the excitement of horse racing,
it is uncertainty that gives life to base
ball; and -uncertainty was what the Port
land, fans had in the earlier part of the
game.
The game was not a model exhibition
of baseball. Tacoma made many had er
rors and Portland a few; Whltbeckwas
touched up for a string of hits and
Johnson fared but little better. But when
Tacoma commenced soaring skyward and
Portland started its run-getting, the ex
citement ran high and the grandstand
shook so that the official scorer could not
-6teady himself long enough to chalk up
the hits and errors, and the press rep
resentatives' notes looked like earth
quake recorders.
Tacoma Started Ont Strong.
Tacoma started out strong and at the
end of the first two innings had a pair
of deuces on the score board to their
credit These were made oft five hits,
including two doubles, .an error by Deisel,
"which opened the game, and a pass. In
4he third and fourth a pair of aces were
added to the hand on the board but this
grand total of six was the extent of the
Tigers' happiness.
Meanwhile Portland had drawn another
two deuces from the deck. In the third
and fourth innings. The first was made
by Anderson getting a base on balls and
IHupp following with the fluklest kind of
a home run. He sent the ball out to
center field, where it should have been
handled in time to havo kept him from
passing the Eecond station, but Letcher
was slowness personified and did not get
after the ball until it was out in the
Immediate vicinity of the score board.
The second two were made without the
assistance of a single bit. Errors by
Johnson, McCarthy and Hutchinson and
a baso on balls being responsible for both
of them.
Portland Wins fa the Sixth.
The big event came off in the last part
of the sixth. Max Muller started out by
putting the ball In centor field for a
,safe hit. Letcher handled it In poor form
and Muller traveled around to third.
"Pretzel" Deisel followed with a hit that
brought Max across the rubber. Van
Buren came next and put tho ball in
Pitcher Johnson's hands, who in turn
threw to McCarthy In an endeavor to
set Deisel at second but the old re
liable failed and Jacob went to third.
Johnson, much disgusted at his support.
Issued a pass to Anderson and filled the
bases. Amid cries for a home run, Hupp
came to the bat. He sent the ball along
the- line to the first baso and Swindells
put bim out, and Deisel came in and tied
the score. "Weed's long fly to left brought
In Van Buren, and Anderson came home
on a hit by Mahaffey. Mahaffey was
caught at second.
After that both teams settled down to
good ball playing, and there was nothln'
doln' in the line of run-getting for tho
remainder of the game. Muller was back
In the game again yesterday, but in the
seventh inning he caught his bad ankle
under the bag in attempting to steal
third and had to be carried oft of the
field. Engle took his place In loft field.
Van Buren's running backhanded, left
handed catch of Hutchinson's long fly to
center field -was tho fielding feature of
the game.
Thursday's postponed game -will be
played this afternoon (weather permitting)
and if tho smiling, good-natured Jay
Goul Andrews cannot shake the hard luck
(from Mb bunch, the Tacoma Tlg'ers will
leave tomorrow night with about five
straight defeats at the hands of the
Webfeet, and a running string of ten
dofeata "His Chickens" Mr. Fisher is
suffering from a severe Injury and may

athletic circles throughout the Pacific
Northwest. Every time an athlete makes
fast time or good distanco in field meets
of any kind, his admirers go wild and the
newspapers of his locality tell In start
ling headlines of a wonderful feat for
which a new Northwest record has been
allowed. Particularly is this true at the
University of Washington, whore records
are handed out with: a rapidity that Is, In
deed, astonishing. The University of
"Washington athletic team has Just re
turned from a tour of the Inland Em
pire, and the Seattle newspapers aro full
of tho wonderful performances and ex
cellent records made by certain repre
sentatives of tho "windy "varsity."

for the quarter and half mile, held by
Payne, were made on the M. -A. A. C.
track, In tho Oregon-Multnomah games
a year ago, and are unquestionably cor
rect. Kuykcndall's record of 23 seconds
was made on the M. A. A. C. track In
1S93, and was equaled by Payne in tho
recent Oregon-Multnomah meet. The lat
ter's record cannot stand, however, as
Ills lane was 18 inches short. Krucgol's
time, 4:38 1-5 for the mile run. Is prob
ably correct, as are the 100-yard records
of Higglns, Caulkins and Pearson. Tho
latter, and Chestnut, another Washing
ton man, have been credited with "even
lime" In tho 100-yard dash, but there Is
no likelihood that such figures are cor
rect. Chestnut has been beaten time
and again In 0:10 3-5, and disinterested
parties who held watches on Pearson In
his alleged 10-second runs, say that he
cannot beat 0:10 1-5 under the best of
circumstances.
BEARS GET VENTURESOME.
They Wander Into Civilized Quar
tern and Meet Death.
Bears are becoming numerous of late In
the country back of Vancouver, and, hav
ing a tendency to prey on the calves and
pigs of the farmers, are not welcome vis
itors. It is said that they havo come in
from tho region about Mount Adams, fol
lowing a range of hills. They have prob
ably heard, that the Maza,mas Intend
storming Mount Adams this Summer, and
have concluded that they would emigrate
for a season.
A short time ago a big bear walked
into tho farmyard at a farm a few miles
back of 'Vancouver, took a vlg weighing
150 pounds In his arms and toddled off
toward the brush with it. The squeals ef
the frightened porker aroused the farmer,
who set his two dogs on the bear, which,
however, paid no attention to them, but
occasionally took a bito out of the pig,
as a boy might out of an apple.
Tho farmer summoned his neighbors,
and they gave chase to the bear, and as
he could not travel very fast with a pig
in his arms, they 6O0n overtook him.

the brute wa"s shown by his running for

Hearing of the presence of these bears,
Thomas Honeyman and Arthur Emmons
went over to Vancouver a few days ago
to enjoy the sport of hunting them. The

winners of fast mile heats to pick up a
few points from the work of men who
drive for pleasure only on the road and
t for a cup on the track; also that amateur
racing never lacks excitement, and no
meet is without Its sport. If hi3 opinion
Is that of all horsemen, there Is plenty
of sport in store for Portland. The Hunt
Club will haye lis meet on the 7th, and
the Riverside Driving- Club on the 14th.
As there Is considerable rivalry between
the owners of 'fiorses entered for both
meets, spirited contests may be expected.

COLLEGES FAIL TO AGREE.
Pacific University and Pacific Col
lege Fall Ont Over Diacns Throw.
&EWBERG. June 1. The track athletes
of Pacific College are considerably dis
gruntled over the treatment received at
the hands of Pacific University In Forest
Grdvc, on May 24. A dual field meet had
heed arranged between the two Institu
tions, and the local team Journeyed to
Forest Grove td participate in the sport.
Upon going- on the field Captain Henter
was informed that Pacific University
wished to add the discus throw to the or
der of events. The Ncwberg bo5'3 object
ed to this, as they had never practiced
with the dl3cus, and they believed that
adding such an event would give Forest
Grove on unfair advantage. Captain
Heater steadily refused to allow the discus
throw to be included, and Manager Gib
son, of Forest Grove, declared that
his team would not participate In
the meet, unless the disputed evnt
be Included. No agreement was
reached, ea the meet was called off. Tho
Newberg boys, say they never dreamed of
having a discus throw until they arrived
in Forest Grove, where they were treated
In a most unsportsmanlike manner.

cluding two doubles and a triple, had
been lined out by the Yakimas. the score
being 7 to 1 In favor of the homo team.
In the ninth, three hits, one of which

a base-runner left his base before a fly
was dropped, but the umpire called the
Dayton runner out at the plate. Tho
tally would havo tied the score.

WILL THE SLU3IS CONTROL.? 4
Tho inhabitants of dens of xice always
vote in solid phalanxes. It Is thus they
maintain pulltlcal Influence sufficient to
prevent a prosecuting attorney from do
ing his duty. Will the respectable peo
ple show an equal degree of Interest In
tho election today? Will they ote to
Indorse tho unpunished assault upon
Faith Stewart, or will they mingle their
ballots with those of the denlsens of the
North End? Honest men will get their
dues when thieves fall out, or when
honest men stand together. Is it not
better that the political influence of tho
respectable people should be a power
than that the candidates who bow to
the lawless should always be victors?

As to City Engineer.
PORTLAND. June 1. (To the Editor.)
It is interesting to the property-owners
who were obliged to pay for some of tha
worthless but expensive street improve
ments and badly plarmed sewers, con
structed under the supervision of the
fusion candidate for City Engineer when
he was Superintendent of Streets, r to bo
told of his "fitness for the office." Tho
first Improvement of Third street and
Washington street with bituminous pav
ing are notable cases.
Tho Holladay-avenue sewer system is
another Instance. Many thousand feet of
sewers outside of tho district and un
taxed have had to be run into this main
because Nature will not admit of it being
run anywhere else. "Skill and experi
ence" were factors In "these engineering
problems" of the city whjch were demon
strated to be lacking at 'that time.
Such old stock phrases aa "life and
strength of materials," 'stresstrs and
strains of bridge timbers." "resistances
of pipes," "forces of water." etc., dug out
of some engineering work for the occasion,
ara intended to mislead.
