Wash., July 17. Spokane won, 6 to 3, In a game replete with bril liant plays, fine hitting and "wild pitching. Both bbxmen -were erratic, Corcoran hit ting four men and Hawley three. They -would fill bases and then fast play -would occur and stop run-getting. It -was Kel ly's magnificent batting that turned the trick for Spokane. Four times up and four safe ones. Including a triple and a double, every hit scoring at least one run, end In one Instance two, was his record. He -was also all over the field against Portland and retired the last man up by a beautiful stop and a wild throw, -which Elsey scooped just in time. Howells cut off a brace of runs by catching an ap parent two-base hit from Weed's bat. re tiring the runner at second. In the first Inning Reltz caught a savagely-hit ball and doubled a Portland runner at third. Portland hit the ball hard and often, but horseshoe luck prevented much run getting. Several times, -with the bases populated and only one man out, a play would come up to either hold men on bases or double up somebody. Balls -were hit hard right into the hands of Spo kane fielders, or would Just strike foul. Both sides were full of ginger and ac cepted manyjalfflcult chances. Weed's hitting -wasHyteature of Portland's bat ting, bo thdBpl rives hitting the fence and the jMJKng lodged In deep left In HowelUaflMK Hawley's wlldness was In the SjpE&ejpanslble for the loss of the gamefwclPPo!Iaid.

STOVALL STAYS WITH SEATTLE. He Was Golnp to Pendleton, but He Chnng-ecl His Mind. Considerable excitement was stirred up In Seattle basebal'dom when Jesse Stovall announced Wednesday that he was going to quit Seattle and Jump to Pendleton. Or. Stovall was sore because he claimed that Dugdale was not treating him Just right and was playing him too hard. He was forced to play in the outfield when he was not in his place in the box. and he came to a right decision when he decided that such was not the proper work for a pitcher. He had transportation ready for him to go to Pendleton, but Dugdale got wind of the matter and "came to him," promis ing him that he would no longer be over worked. Stovall changed his mind after his talk with his manager, and pitched for the team Wednesday, and showed up In the most remarkable form, not. allowing a safe hit to any of the Helena batters, and refusing to Issue any passes to first. Spec Hnrlbnrt Wants More Money. "Spec" Hurlburt is with the Seattle team and the Northwest League no long er, unless he gets off his high horse and will play for his old salary. Dugdale sus pended him recently, but when the ban was removed, Hurlburt wanted more of the coin of the realm added to his semi weekly dividend from the Seattle Base ball Club. Dugdale wouldn't see the raise, so Hurlburt cashed In his checks. The following Is the Post-Ihtelllgencer account of the affair: "Until yesterday .afternoon Manager Dugdale was under the Impression that he had suspended 'Spec' Hurlburt, the centerflelder, but when he notified Hurl burt before the game yesterday that the suspension was oft and the fielder could play if he wanted to, he found out that he was up against a strike for higher wages. "Dugdale was Informed that It would take a National League salary to get Hurlburt into the game again, so the sus pension was put on one more, and Dug dale got busy with the wires hunting up a good outfielder. He says he has prac tically signed a first-class man, who will be here in about three days. "Hurlburt offered to pay $100 for his re lease yesterday, but was told that he could not get it for ?1500. As Hurlburt cannot sign with any minor league In the United States, except in California, so long as he Is suspended, he will have to join one of the semi-professional teams If he wants to play ball the rest of the sea son." TACOMA WAS A "PIPE." Bntte Hns No Trouble Winning From the Tlgrers. TACOMA July 17. Tho Mary Mac Lanes had a soft thing today. Welling ton was as wild as a young hawk and gave five bases on balls in the first Inn ing, forcing in two runs after a timely single had scored Ward. White was sub stituted, but had nothing, and was hit frequently and with telling effect. Only in two Innings did a Tiger pass second base. In the fifth Fisher's timely hit scored McCarthy, and in the sixth (Mur dock reached third on an error. Fisher's fielding was the feature of the game. Score: TACOMA. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

The St. Louis team took their positions on the diamond and went through the formality of playing the game. Umpire Carruthers declared the game forfeited to the visitors after five minutes had elapsed. None of the Balti more players appeared in uniform on the grounds. According to tho plnn or Ban Johnson, president of the American League, the franchise of- the Baltimore team was for feited today by its failure to have a team In position to play the St. Louis club. Under the by-laws, all rights of Balti more in that respect this afternoon passed into the hands of the American League. A meeting of the board of di rectors of the American League will be held In this city tomorrow, or as soon as a quorum arrives.

Representa tive Fleming, of Georgia, pne of the ablest men on the Democratic ride, and also one of tho fairest-minded, will be left out of the next House of Representa tives, on account of the peculiar pri mary election methods of his state. His district Is composed of a num ber of counties, four of them be ing quite large, but the provision for the nomination Is that the majority of counties nominate, instead of the ma jority of the popular vote. The 'result Is that, while the primaries showed that ho had nearly three-fourths of the popu lar vote of the counties, the smaller counties were able to name another man. It is not probable that the Democratic leaders are disturbed because Fleming has been turned down at home, as he often times voted according to his scruples, and not according -to the Democratic policies.

He also has that character istic of succero the desire for hard work. Secretary Moody is now being termed the "new broom." by certain beaurocrats. It seems that he Is trying to "sweep clean" the department frcm naval barnacles that have so long found soft berths, either in the bureau proper or In the numerous adjuncts attached to the Navy. Through the influence of certain high officials. Sena tors, Representatives and politicians, cer tain naval officers have been able to fru strate all orders which would send them to sea or upon detached duty. The Secre tary has found tjite out, and has deter mined that influence shall not keep them 1 any longer away from the duty that they are supposed to perform on board ship. The officers are those who have been in the Naval Observatory.1 In the War Col lege. In the Navy Bureau. In the Hydro graphic Ofilce, at various yards and docks throughout the country; in fact there have been a great many more of these officers ptatloned on shore than there was any necessity for. Much of the duty that they perform could have easily been performed by ordinary clerks, as their work has been largely of a clerical nature. Scene of these officers have been able to -continue In these places with perhaps a short sea service, while other ofllcers have had to take their reg ular three years" cruising on disagreeable stations, tropical, Asiatic or South Ameri can. It I a curious feature of life in Wash ington that one sees an officer here year after year. Then he will be absent for a few months, and he is again back holding down a chair in one of the bureaus. He has simply been at sea on a pleasant sail ing tcruise for a short time, and his "pull" has put him back In a soft place. Secretary Moody has determined that there shall be an equalization of all this, and that naval officers must go to sea In their regular turn, and they cannot wait until a real soft assignment offers itself. He has made himself very unpop ular by this move among the beauro crats, but there are a great many good sailor men serving on board ship In the Philippines, In the South Atlantic, Eu rope and in other places that will applaud his action. Secretary Moody has the Idea, which beaurocrats do not Indorse, that men ought to have some sea experience In order to be properly fitted for duty In case of emergency. The Secretary does not believe In so much theoretical navi gation, but that actual work at sea is what will make good officers. Great Fire at Gnayaqnil. GUAYAQUIL. Ecuador, July 17.
