SPOKANE, July 20. (Special.) Port
land again showed superior work on the
bases, taking advantage of Kostal's wlld
ness and slowness, and won the game, 7
to 2. Portland played championship ball,
with Wltbeck In the box. Wltbeck was
Effective In all but two Innings. In one.
poor base-running by the locals prevented
Spokane from scoring. In the other, tho
Elxth, Spokane drove In two earned runs
by three singles, a sacrifice and two stolen
bases by McLaughlin and Howells.
Muller's work on the bases was fine.
In one Inning he scored from third when
Kostal allowed a ball returned from the
catcher to roll behind Kim. Muller al
lowed himself to be hit by the ball In the
Urst, got two singles, and played all over
the left fleld lot. Anderson hit the ball
hard at critical times and was the main
factor In the scoring.
"Wltbeck kept the Spokane players hit
ting the balls In tho air, where the infield
was able to handle them. Kostal was also
fairly effective, in that few balls got out
elde of the diamond, Elsey getting 18 put
outs at first.
Before the game started there was a
mix-up at the Spokane bench. "Words
passed between Elsey and Umpire Cun
ningham, and tho big first baseman made
a rush at the little man. Mullane and
other players prevented an assault. Tho
trouble grew out of Cunningham's severe
treatment of Elsey on the day previous.
Portland rooters were at the game In
abundance, with choruses and cowbells.
It was Portland's game all tho way
through, because "Wltbeck pitched better
than Kostal and the team work of tho
visitors was Intelligent. The score:

Good Prospects for Baker City Team.
BAKER CITY, July 20. The members
of the" local corporation back of the Baker
City baseball club and the citizens gen
erally are very much elated over tho
splendid work of the reorganized club at
Walla Walla.
Baker City has strong hopes of win
ning the pennant of the Inland Empire
League before the season closes, j-he
new men secured from the Ogden (Utah)
club are depended on to pull Baker City
out of the hole. There Is great anxiety
felt over the coming contest between Pen
dleton and Baker City. The Pendleton
boys gave Baker City' three unmerciful
thrashings when they played here at the
opening of the Inland Empire League
games a week ago. The Baker City club
was fairly beaten. It was simply a case
of being outclassed.
The new men from Utah have placed the
Baker City club on an equal footing with
the Pendleton club.
Tho Baker City fans are not vengeful
at all, but they will enjoy Immensely a
few stinging defeats administered to Pen
dleton by their new organization.
Such a thing as a defeat for Baker City
Is not taken into consideration. Should,
such an unfortunate calamity occur It
will bo a eorry day for Baker City.

TRY-OUTS.
Holtgrrlcve's Snnset Captures Three-
Quarters Dnsli In 11S" Myrtha
Whips Paces Mile in 215 3-4.
"With fine track conditions and with little
urging, Holtgrleve's Sunset carried off the
honors In the three-quarters of a mile dash
on the Irvlngton track yesterday In a
finish that was aa close as It was excit
ing. Tho starters were Sunset, Helman's
Veloz, Jones' Granger, and Osman's Be
gonia. "With Simpson holding tho flag, the
horses got oft at a fair start, and Gaffney
pushed Granger ahead to the half. There
he was overtaken by Sunset, with tho
youngster Groves up, and Veloz. with
Harmon as a mount, tied on the three
quarters. On the stretch it was a fight for
tho purse. Sunset had the end by a
length, and Veloz and Granger struggled
for second and third places, the former
winning by a neck. The second prize,
from the closeness of the race, proved of
more Interest than the first event, and the
announcement of the time of 1:18 In the
stentorian tones of Captain N. G. Smith,
the presiding judge, was greeted with ap
plause. Fnnllne Wins Ilalf-Mlle Rnn.
While It lacked the exciting features of
the three-quarters dash, the half-mile run
brought a crowd from the grandstand to
the rail. The entries were McGUvcry's
Kitty Norfolk, Whltmore's Hank L.,
Jones' Eva N. and Bennett's Pauline. Af
ter several balks all went off In a bunch
at the word, and Archibald forced Paulino

with Hank L.. and Dugan spared no dust
to bring Eva N. to the front. But Pauline
had too big a lead, and the horses crossed

Blyrtha Vhlps Paces In 2:15 3-4.
The harness races gave cause for sur
prise, for better time wag made than
was expected. The entries ware Simp
son's Alta Norte, Irwin's Starkey, and
Helman's Myrtha Whips. In the first heat
Myrtha Whips cleared 2:16?i. and In tho
second 2:19. Myrtha has a record of 2:1L
Starkey of 2:K, and Alta Norte 2:16.
Starkey had a good chance to win the sec
ond heat, but Irwin could not seo his way
clear to force him through.
Oneta "Wins Frec-for-All Trot.
In tho free-for-all trot, the pole was
given to Irwin's Oneta. Walter's Duko of
Walsteln had second place; Simpson's
Phil N. third, and Mack Mack, with Hel
man up, was on the outside. It was con
fidently expected that Phil N. would hit
tho 2:18 mark, but he had to be held in
check, and he crossed under the wire- the
last of the siring. Oneta, a comparative
stranger to racing men, had no trouble
whatever In winning the race In 2:204,
and Instead of Mack Mack In second pla'cc
the horsemen found the Duke of Walsteln.
The second heat also was won by Oneta,
with Phil N. second and the Duko of
Walsteln third.

PROSPECTS OX THE GRIDIROX.
ainltnoxsah Club "Will Play Only One
Game "With Oregon.
Arrangements have been perfected for
the annual Thanksgiving football game
between the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club and the University of Oregon, which
will occur as usual on Multnomah Held
this year. Tho articles of agreement have
been drawn up and signed by representa
tives of the two teams, and the game
Itself Tvill be the great drawing card in
Northwest football circles for the season
of 1902.
It has been decided that only one game
bo played between the two big teams, and
that preliminary and practice games be
dispensed with. Those Interested In the
sport contend that when early practice
games were played between Multnomah
and Oregon In seasons past, that the re
sults on the whole were not satisfactory,
and that better sport would result from
tho playing of but one game each year,
and that a big one.
Multnomah will have many of the old
playera that made last season's eleven
such a tower of strength, and tho club
men expect to end the season with a
clean record. Last year the Oregon team
consisted mostly of novices, but this sea
son's outlook Is more flattering, and the
team will probably be as Btrong, If not
stronger, than the crack Oregon eleven
that defeated Berkeley two years ago. Of
last season's team, only three Zlegler,
Goodall and Gorrell were lost by gradu
ation. Manager Wright expects to put
out a first-class eleven, and Is negotiating
with Coach "Locomotive" Smith for an
other Ecason's work. Smith understands
coaching, nnd his work with the Eugene
team last year was remarkable, all cir
cumstances being considered.
Georgo McMillan, the old reliable, has
charge of Multnomah's football affairs
this year, and will devote considerable
time to coaching and directing the play,
as well as looking out for the manage
ment. Most of last year's players are
still In the city, and the personnel of tho
team will probably remain the same.
Manager James Zercher, of the Oregon
Agricultural College eleven, has written
to Multnomah relative to a game for the
coming season. No definite arrangements
have yet been made, but It is quite likely
that Zercher's request will be granted.
Fred D. Herbold, of Eugene,. who last sea
son coached the University of Idaho, will
occupy the same position at Corvallls. and
the prospects for a strong team at the
Agricultural College were never better.
Manager Eshleman, of the University of
Washington team, announces a game with
M - MILLAN
4
Stanford University, to be played in Seat
tle during the coming season.
Mnltnomnli Clnb Low Jinks.
The Multnomah Club will give a "low
Jinks" next Sunday, the exact place not
having been decided upon. A committee
Is In charge of the affair, and a pleasmt
outing Is In anticipation. There will be
athletic sports of various kinds, music,
refreshments, and a general good time
for all. Tho club Is accustomed to giving
an outing of this sort every year, and on
previous occasions .the members have
thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
HITS OEF THE DIAMOND
PORTLAND AXD HELEXA TIE FOR
THIRD PLACE AT COO.
Team Opens a Four Weelcs Series
Here Tomorrow-Battc to
Come First.
Portland comes from Spokane with the
percentage Just the same as It was when
It came back from that city after Its first
trip on the road, an even 500. This trip out
has proved a little more successful than
the last jaunt of the nine. A series cap
tured at both Tacoma and Spokane Is a
fair record for a team, on the road, but a
greater margin would not have come In
amiss.
The pitching staff of the team his been
rather weakened on this trip. The nine
had to fight the whole time with but three
box artists. Then at Spokane Salisbury
was forced to apply for a leave of ab
sence to coma to this city to look after
his -Rife, who was taken seriously 111.
Hawley, one of Butte's castiways, was
taken in his place for one game, and that
game Portland lost. Engel and Wltbeck
both did good work, especially the latter,
who is fast forcing himself to the front
in this league and threatens to make the
other twlrlers" hustle for their honors.
With but one or two exceptions the
scores show that the team pliyed magnifi
cent ball on the trip and deserved to win
all the games that they did. Every man
has been In tho game from start to fin
ish, and their opponents "had to play to
get away with the four games that they
did. Strange to relate, the words "timely
hitting" were prominent in the accounts
leave for San Francisco tonight, to witness tha blr Jcffrles-Fltxslmmons fight, and while
In the Bay City will endeavor to dispose of the trophy at the ringside. As many of th
leading sports of the country will be present, it is highly probable that Mr. Merrill will find a
purchaser for tho belt. In that event, the proceeds will bo turned over to Jack Dempsey's
children, and used to defray the expenses of their education.
of a number of tho games played. That Is
something that the Portland team has
seldom been accused of this season, and
it sounds well. Game after game has
been lost by the Webfooters because they
failed to get In the necessary hit Just
when It was most needed.
The boys will be at home to open up with
Butte on Tuesday, and after a week with
that team, Portland gets three more
weeks of baseball one each with Helena,
Tacoma and Spokane, In the order named.
In all some 23 games will be played. If the
two postponed games with Helena and
the one with Tacoma are ployed off this
time. Portland should capture at least 15
of these contests, and it Is hoped that the
nine will get more, as they are sadly In
need of them.
The addition of another pitcher to the
team will do much to strengthen the nine
and increase its chances of winning.
Charles Werner, the new man, bears a
good reputation both as a pitcher and a
hitter, and if he Is all that he Is cricked
up to be he Is Just the man that Portland
needs to fill the vacancy In tho staff.
With the coming of Butte there Is one
thing to be dreaded that is tho rowdyism
and dirty work that has been displayed by
McCloskey and his followers this season.
Last year he was bad, but this year ho
is worse. In Seattle he made himself so
obnoxious that the town was Slad to get
rid of him. In Tacoma he behaved a little
better, but still his actions were not such
that they could call for approval. The
sooner Mr. John J. McCloskey finds out
that ho and his bunch of balltossers can
not attempt to bulldoze the umpire and
display the rowdy tactics that he has been
using and still draw crowds out to see
his team play, the better. Portland fans
want to see good, clean baseball, and they
mean to get It. If they cannot hive that,
they do not want any. The majority
would rather stay away than pay their
money to see a gang of nine fellows com
mence "beefing" with the umpire.
The kick at Umpire Cunningham at
Spokane Is a matter of surprise. When
Cunningham was here he made a decided
hit. No kick was heard of his work here,
and the playersTand fans both seemed to
bo well satisfied with him. Of course
the Spokane people should know more
about what the umpiring was last week,
but one thing Is certain, that the fans
here believe the stories about, him being
"rotten are worne than they are painted.
"Tho person who says Jock Flannery
has a lot of lobsters playing ball with him
now Is badly off," remarked a local base
ball crank yesterday. "I would Just as
soon take Flannery"3 chances of winning
the pennant as any one else's. He may
not do it. but he has the men behind him
that are winners. All his players are
cracks, and that follow Wlggs io doing
wonders In the box. I saw them, and I
know. You Just keep your eye on Helena
and you will fee something doing before
long." All that is perfectly true. Flan
nery has certainly picked up a wonderful
team. When he waa here last time he had
practically no players. To be sure, he had
Wlggs, but the big boy had not settled
down to work then. If Flannery had not
had hard luck at the opening of the season
he might have been better oft now than
he Is. He had a great team signed, but
at the last moment eight of the boys
Jumped to the American Association and
left him In the hole. He had to pick up
anything he could and strengthen as he
went along. He did, and now he is as
near the top of the list as Portland.
The first half of the league season ended
yesterday, although none of the clubs had
played half of the games. Seattle has had
the best luck, being only one game behind
the schedule. Butte, Spokane and Tacoma
are all three games short, while Helena
and Portland each have four games to
make up. The race for the pennant Is one
of the prettiest In the country. Less than
200 points separate Seattle at the top and
Tacoma at the bottom, and It la yet any
body's race. Seattle has a slight lead that
may be knocked clear oft In a single
series. Butte Is next, less than 50 points
behind. Portland and Helena are even up
for third place, with .500 as the percent
age. Spokane drops, almost 50 behind In
fifth place, and a Jump of another half
hundred brings In Tacoma. Both of these
teams, while a little too far down to be
comfortable, are still In the race, and are
likely to pull up at any time.
The loss or Hurlburt from the Seattle
outfield may In a way account for some of
the defeats of that team during the past
week. Hurlburt Is a good outfielder, and a
heavy hitter. In fact, he would make a
strong addition to any team. But he was
suspended for Insubordination, which was
perfectly proper. Then when his suspen-
slon was raised he refused to play unless
his salary was raised, which was wrong.
Hurlburt signed a contract to play for a
certain sum, and if he had any honor he
would stick to his contract. He offered to
buy his release from Manager Dugdale for
$100, but the offer was turned down.
Where Hurlburt got the money Is a mys
tery. Many of the Seattle fans think that
McCloskey is after him for the .Butte team
and would furnish the money. Maybe one
of the Independent teams wanted him, but
it Is not likely that they would put up
that amount just to keep him clear from
tho clubs under the National agreement.
Manager Dugdale has signed George
Drennan, of Colorado Springs, to All the
place of Hurlburt. Drenna is expected to
Join the team In Spokane in time to take
part In the game there tomorrow. He has
the reputation of being a fast fielder and a
good sticker. -
President Lucas has left Portland for
Spokane, where he will make his residence
in the future. Mr. Lucas says that oity
Is more centrally located for his needs,
and that Is, why he moved. A number of
local people share a different view, and
think that it is because he could not agree
with the Portland club. There may be
some truth In that. He was asked whether
he Intended changing his residence le3
than two weeks before he left here, but
said that he had no intention of so doing.
He seemed to make up his mind rather
suddenly that Spokane was the best town
from which to guide the destinies of the
league. When in that city Mr. Lucas did
the Portland club but little good. He
never colled upon the directors of the club
to talk over the affairs of tho league, and
his leaving the city was a complete sur
prise to the members of the club.

Oregon City AVIns.
Oregon City won from Upchurch yes
terday In a closely contested game, by a
score of 5 to 2. The game was Interest
ing throughout. The features were tho
flrst-claas work of the Upchurch outfield,
the hard hitting of Baldwin, who made a
three-bagger, a two-bagger and a single,
and the first-class work of the Oregon Clty
battery. Callff and Martin. Haines, for
the Upchurch team, pitched good ball, but
at critical times his support from the In
field was weak. The final game for the
pennant will be played in Oregon City at
