Salisbury pitched a fine, steady game for the Webfootens and not a Tiger connected safely with his de livery until the sixth Inning, with the exception of Hutchinson and "Lefty" Na gle. In the third, Hutchinson drew a two-bagger to left center, and Nagle sin gled -and stole second, but both men were left on bases. In the sixth inning, -with two out, An drews cracked a double over the left fence and was left on second. In the sev enth, with one out, Fisher sent a hot grounder through the diamond, but he was left at first, .both White and Letcher pop ping foul flies over first base, -where Weed gathered them In. Hutchinson opened the eighth with a nice single and Nagle sacrificed him to second, but a foul fly to VIgneux and a rap to Anderson left him there. For a few moments it looked as though the Tigers would score in the ninth. Joe McCarthy started with a two-sacker to the left corner. Keefe popped a fly to lelsel and Fisher sent a long fly to Van Buren, which was manipulated into a double play as McCarthy tried to make third. Portland had an abundance of safe hits In its share of the game. One of the sen sational fielding features came in the first innintf, when, after Muller had fanned, Van Buren singled. Anderson rapped to Andrews, who Juggled the ball, and Weed drove one to the right field and Nagle picked it off the fence and threw Ander son out at first. The Webfooters got a pair of nice hits In the second and a cou ple more in the third, but could not score. The only run of the game was in the fifth, when "Rube" Van Buren walked, took second on White's bad throw, when the latter tried to catch him napping off first; Anderson's single advanced him to third, and when "Andy" stole second. Van Buren scored on the play by a mighty narrow margin. He was Just safe at the plate, and that was all. In the sixth, with one out, Harris got a double and Deisel followed with a short fly to center, which looked so safe that Harris was half way between third and home when Letcher caught It. making a double play by tossing It to McCarthy. With one out in the seventh, Muller tried to stretch a single Into a double and was thrpwn out at second. Van Buren rapped a fly into left center which enti tled him to third, but Anderson fanned. A base on balls and a hit in the eighth came to Portland's credit, but no runs. Salisbury got his only single in the ninth, but was forced out at second. Score: TACOMA. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Negotiations for the Tracey-Ferns wel terweight match for Seattle on August 16 are still In the air, as Tracey wants to weigh In at 4 o'clock and Ferns at 6. Other details of the match have been agreed upon, and It Is not thought that the present difference of opinion concern ing weighing time will Interfere wltft final arrangements and an agreement to fight. The d? te Is a good one, as it falls during the Seattle Elks' Carnival.

Race "Was the Eighth Heat for the Diamond Senile Eton Easily -Defeats Christ College. HENLEY, July 9. In spite of a dull, threatening morning, exceptionally large crowds assembled here today to witness the second day's racing of the Henley regatta. Interest was vastly enhanced by the danger of the diamond sculls and the Grand Challenge cup crossing the At lantic. Americans and Canadians were present In force to support their respec tive compatriots. Henry White, Secre tary of the United States Embassy, and Mrs. Wnlte wore present to see their son "Jack" row No. 3 in the Eton boat in the contest for the Ladies' Challenge plate. The wind blew directly off the gtoo DEFEATED AT HENLEY YESTERDAY. TITUS, THE CRACK Bucks shore, giving the boats on that station great advantage. Some experts estimate tfiat t"he station on the Bucks side was worth a length. The first contest was the fourth, heat for tho Grand Challenge cup. Although the London Rowing Club had the ad vantage of the Bucks station, and rowed in excellent form, Leandcr- led all the way, London's spurt towards the finish proving fruitless. The time, 7:2S, was very fast, considering the wind, and sup ports the generally accepted view that nobody knows what reserve power Is possessed by the Lcanders until they are hard pressed. The half-mile time was 2:3L The mile was done In 5:30. This opened the way for what was gen erally regarded as the most Important event of the regatta the Canadians' con test with Third Trinity, the crack Cam bridge crew accepted by all as tho British champions in the heats for the Grand Challenge cup. Both crews struck 40 for the first minute, and raced nose and nose. At Frawley Court Third Trinity forged a quartor of a length to the front, row ing grandly. The collegians drew away gradually, amid the greatest" excitement. The Canadians, even when they were passed, hung on In the most spirited fashion, and spurted thereafter. The time for the half-mile was 2:27. Frawley Courst was passed In 3:21. The time at the flnlsh was 7:1L The third heat for the Thames Chal lenge cup was a great struggle. The Irishmen would have won but for their disadvantage of station. The Dublin crew got off first and still led at Frawley Court, after which Cambridge gradually drew level. A neck-and-neck race ensued, and the Englishmen won by a narrow margin. After the lunch Interval the fourth heat for the Thames Challenge cup was rowed In a- -downfall of rain, which sent the Summer-clad picnickers lfi search of shel ter. The School of Mines got clear away from the start, and kept the Thames oarsmen in hand the whole distance. The second heat for the Goblets was a procession, the Londoners defeating the Reading pair In hollow fashion. The third heat for the Ladles' Challenge Plate aroused unusual enthusiasm, and the Eton boys, whose special claim to this trophy Is generally conceded, carried the good wishes of every one. They had the Bucks shore, and took full advantage of the fact. Christ Church held their own for some distance, but were rowed down, and the Etonians came away and won as they liked lrf excellent time. 7:29. For the succepdlng race, the eighth heat for the Diamond Sculls, C. S. Titus, of the Union Boat Club, New York, was a warm favorite, but he was rowed to a standstill, to the surprise of every one. The American was heavily handicapped, both In his station, which was the Berks side of the river, and by the superior weight of his opponent, F. S. Kelley, Balllol College, Oxford, who had 21 pounds' advantage. The Oxonian got away from the start, and was three lengths ahead at Frawley Court. He maintained this lead, and paddled home an easy victor. Kelley started with cutting down tactics. He put In 3S strokes In tho first minute to the American's 33. The Oxonian went to the front and gained a quarter of a length in the flrst quarter of a mile. At the half mile he was half a length to the good. He then tacked on over a couple more lengths, and Titus' fate was apparent, as he was completely outrowed. Experts estimated that the Bucks station -was worth a couple of lengths to Kelley. After the half-mile, however, Titus never flattered his sup porters, and Kelley paddled home a win ner by a distance variously estimated at three to eight lengths. Titus was badly used up at the flnlsh. The Radley boys made a great showing in the fourth heat for the Ladies' Chal lenge plate. So far as Frawley Court the race was neck and neck. University College, Oxford, then shot ahead and gained a length advantage, which was doubled In the last half mile. In the ninth heat for the Diamond Sculls R. B. Etheringtdn-Smlth, Lean der Rowing Club, took the race In hand from the start and easily beat J. Beres ford, Kensington Rowing Club. Smith did no more than paddle the last half mile to slow time. The contest was no criterion as to what he may be able to do In the final against Kelley. The day's sport was concluded with the two heats for the Wifold Challenge cup.

REFUSED CATHOLIC NURSE ATTITUDE OF THE VATICAN TO WARD AN AMERICAN WOMAN. Sennatlon at Rome Caused by the Treatment of Princess Rcsplgll- osl Other Foreign Ncvrs. ROME, July 9. A great sensation has been caused here by the action of the Vatican authorities toward the Princess Joseph Rosplgllosl. an American. Her husband Is head of an ancient family of clerical nobility, and his brother Is com mandant of the Papal Noble Guard. On August 28, 1901. Prince RcsplgllosI married here Mrs. Marie Jennings Reld Parkhurst, of Washington, the divorced wife of Col onel Frederick H. Parkhurst. of Bangor, Me. The ceremony was civil, and hence was not recognized by the Aratlcan. Prin cess Rosplgllosl, who Is now on the point of confinement engaged an English Blue Sister, a nurse, and the latter took up her duties. But Cardinal MachI, secre tary of the apostolic briefs, hearing of this, forbade the Sister to fulfill her du ties on the ground that the marriage was nonexistent The Prince was furious and exerted all his Influence to overcome the scruples of the church, but without avail. Eventually he was obliged to send to England for a nurse. The incident Is ex pected to have Important developments. (When the news of the marriage of Mrs. Parkhurst to Prince Rosplgllosl reached the United States, It was asserted that at first the Vatican refused to sanc tion the marriage because Mrs. Parkhurst was a divorced woman, but, as the Prince declared she would be his wife, with or without the consent of the church, sanc tion was finally given. Mrs. Parkhurst is a granddaughter of Samuel Chester Reld. who commanded the American pri vateer Brigadier-General Armstrong In the battle at Fayal In the War of 1S12. On her "mother's side she Is descended from the Rowan family of Kentucky. About 10 years ago, In Washington, she met Mr. Parkhurst who was a member of the Maine Legislature, and of Gen eral Hill's staff, with tlie rank of Colonel. The couple were married and lived hap pily for a time In Bangor. They had two children. Several years ago they became estranged and Colonel Parkhurst sued" for a divorce. The divorce was granted, and Mrs. Parkhurst left the city. At Bar Harbor she met Prince Joseph, who fell In love -with her.) BRITISH SHIP SUBSIDIES. Lord Brnssey Says They Are Neces sary to Maintain Her Prestige. LONDON, July 9.--Lord Brassey, Liber al, Initiated a discussion on naval mat ters In the House of Lords, during the course of which he deplored the fact that Great Britain had lost the place she once held -with her mercantile marine. The question of subsidies, he thought, must depend on the action of the other pow ers. All the naval powers of Europe gave liberal subsidies, while President Roosevelt and ex-Secretary Gage had rec ommended this policy. It was contrary to English policy to foster Industries by bounties or protection, but to pay for a reserve of auxiliary vessels would certain ly be to the public advantage. Lord Selbourne, the First Lord of the Admiralty, in the course of a reply, re ferred to the Atlantic shipping coihblne. He said It seemed to him that the balance was one of" disadvantage to the combina tion because It necessarily placed very large powers In the hands of a few men. The government disclaimed any sort of Jealousy of the Americans. There was considerable speculation In the House of Commons lobby with regan" to J. P. Morgan's offer to the British Ad miralty. Mr. Arnold-Forester stated def initely that Mr. Morgan had offered to place certain British ships in the shipping combination at the disposal of the Ad miralty for the next 50ears, but he de clined to communicate the details to the House. When Mr. Pierre was questioned the other day on this topic by the steam ship subsidies committee, he Blmply shrugged his shoulders, but It is clear from the Admiralty Secretary's statement that the proposal Is now under consider-, atlon. and, as It has not been promptly declined, some members of the Commons are convinced that Its terms must be of a tempting nature. At the same time they consider It to be beneath the dignity of the greatest sea power in the -world to be dependent upon another nation for cruisers. KING STILL GAINING.

His Majesty reclines on a movable couch most of the day. Some of his physicians are still In constant attendance upon him. It was announced this morning that It was His Majesty's present Intention to be tak en on board the royal yacht early next week. Programme for Kitchener Reception. LONDON, July 9. The programme for the reception of Lord Kitchener on h!s arrival from South Africa Is similar to the one carried out upon the occasion of the home-coming of Lord "Roberts, the Commander-in-Chief of the forces. After his elaborate welcome at Southampton, Lord Kitchener is expected to reach Lon don at noon, July 13. He will be escorted to St. James Palace, where he will be en tertained at luncheon by the Prince of Wales. The Prince will act for the King, and It Is expected that His Majesty, wero It not for his illness, would have honored Lord Kitchener by entertaining him at luncheon, as he did Lord Roberts, when the latter returned. The resolution adopted by the London County Council, to tender Lord Kitchener the congratulatlbns of the County of Lon don upon the successful termination of the South African War, wa3 opposed by the labor members of the Council and by Lord Russell (Liberal), who remarked that .he could not forget or forgive the Judicial murder of Commandant Scheep era. The resolution was passed wlthOnly a dozen dissenting votes. Pearlflaher Marooned. VICTORIA. B. C. July 9. The Moana brought a story from Australia of the ma rooning of a pearlflaher by his mates, on Metson Island, -which is inhabited by treacherous natives.
