Summary of Result.
In' spite of the threatening: weather all
the tennis .matches scheduled for yester
day came off as arranged. The stir con
test of the day was that between Bethel
and Goss, the former winning a well
earned victory after an hour's hard plash
ing. Several other games were of the
first order, notably that between Seager
and Ewing vs. Cheal and Bethel, the sec-fond-named
team winning out by a score
of 6-3, 9-7.
By reason of his recent victory over
Bethel In the club handicap, Goss was
expected by many to repeat his perform
ance. Bethel, however, had determined
to win, and played to the top notch of
hla powers. In the first set he rolled off
Hour games before Gosa was fairly start
ed. His smashes were unreturnable and
Jhis drives and volleys swift and well
'placed. Goss succeeded In making the
games 5 all, but the pace was too hot
for him, and Bethel took the set, 7-5.
Bethel was even more invincible In the
second set, winning 6-3. It was another
case of a perfected offense winning out
over a strong defense. Following is the
detailed score:

Bethel won seven service games and lost
four. Goss won four service games and
lost six. Each won a love gjme. Goss
made two doubles, Bethel made one, and
was lucky in having two balls strike the
net and roll over. Bethel won a clear
cut victory, his opponent playing a de
tfenslve game from the first, very differ
ent from that of the Club handicap, in
which he played much better tennis.
Victorians Clever AVorlc.
The first appearance of Goward and
White, of "Victoria, B. C. on the courts
attracted considerable interest, and their
matches drew a large number of specta
tors. Goward's work of last year has not
been forgotten, but Lieutenant White was
an unknown quantity, whose worth re
mained to be demonstrated. His first
match was with Letter In the men's sin
gles. Though the match was closer than
the :ore would indicate. White handily
won In straight sets, 6-3. 6-2. Though his
service is weak, his strokes are clean and
spejjdy, and pi iced with a degree of ac
curacy surpassed only by his team mate,
Goward. Goward and White easily won
their first doubles match over ".McAlpIn
and Prince, 6-0, 6-2. Their team work is
good, and their greatest strength lies In
their exceptional ability to place the ball
always where it should go.
The most Interesting mixed double
mitch was that between Ewing and Miss
Strong and Letter and Hiss Robertson.
The careful net play of Lelter and the
strong supporting base-line work of MIss
Robertson won them the first set, 6-4.
Increased steadiness on the part of Miss
Strong, coupled with careful placing by
Ewing, gave them the second set, 6-4,
while they easily took the deciding set,
6-1. Goward and Miss Carstens defeated
Lewis and Miss Joscphl in straight sets,
6-3, 6-3. Owing to the strangeness of the
courts, Goward was wild at first and
might have lost the first set had It not
"been for the excellent support of Miss
Carstens. Goward and Miss Carstens are
picked by many to win this Interesting
event.
Silas Atkinson Beats 311ns Carstens.
The best Indies' match of the day was
between Miss Carstens and Miss Atkin
son, won by the latter 6-4, 6-4. Both
played on the base line, and the match
abounded in miny long and brilliant ral
lies. Miss Atkinson possesses the best
"backhand stroke of any of the lady play
ers, and won largely because of her
strength in this respect. Miss Carstens,
on the other hand, was handicapped by
her weakness In this particular, and failed
to use strong forcing strokes, most of
her returns being directed to the center
of the court.
Aside from the Goss-Bethel match, the
best men's singles mntoh was that be
tween White, of Victoria, and Seager, of
Ban Francisco. Seager won, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2.
The first set went to White, 7-5. Seager,
however, gradually overcame White's at
tack, and assuming the offensive, took
the next two sets, 6-3, 6-2. As the match
progressed. White became wild, and failed
to place with the skill and accuracy he
Displayed in the first set. Seager's service
was severe and his varied strokes came
oft with increasing regularity. His game
s a resourceful one, showing great ex
perience and an intimate familiarity with
winning tactics.
Cheal and Bethel Win at Doubles.
The best men's doubles match was thit
In which Cheal and Bethel won over Sea
ger and Ewing, 6-3, 9-7. Bethel was in
good form and served, drove and smashed
like a demon possessed. Seager and
Ewing returned smashes and drives that
seemed impossible, but the attack of their
opponents was too strong for their de
fense, good though It was.
Today's games will be very important
and the playing will be of the first order.
Most of the games will be the finals, the
winners of which will meet the present
holders of the trophies some time tomor
row. Summary of Matches Played.

Bloomer Girls nt Baker City.
BAKER CITY. July 31. Special.) The
Bloomer Girl baseball club, played ball
here yesterday afternoon. There was a
large crowd out to witness the game, and
stores all closed while the game was in
progress. Of course, no one expected to
see a scientific game of ball. To be sure,
almost eery one expected tha.t so far as
the game was concerned, it would be a
fake. It was a fake, sure enough; in fact,
U was so much of a fake that it was pain
ful to behold.
All the diversion in the way of amuse
ment was furnished by the home team.
The ladles acted very lady-like on the
field. They were not noisy; their conduct"!
In every way was above reproach, except
in the matter of playing ball. They were
absolutely lifeless on the field or at the
bat. They apparently did not know how
to play ball, and, more, they did not care
a snap about the game.
The gentlemen of the Baker City team
gave them every opportunity to win the
game, and the rulings of the umpire, had
they been rendered In a league game,
would have caused his sudden death. The
ladles did not appreciate the gallantry of
the gentlemen, and would scarcely take
advantage of their generosity or the awful
decisions of the umpire.
They received 75 per cent of the gate re
ceipts, which Is about 75 per cent more
than they were entitled to. This made
the people mad. because they hated aw
fully to have such a listless, uninteresting
outfit carry away about $100 of their
money.
The score stood 26 to 14 In favor of Ba
ker City. The Baker boys could have
made it 426 just as easily.
Chess Masters' Tournament.
HANOVER. July 3L The chess masters
engaged In the International tournament
here began the ninth round this morning.
At noon adjournment Pillsbury had suc
ceeded in disposing of Atkins in good style.
This Is the second defeat the latter has
thus far experienced. Gunsberg played In
his best form, and vanquished Tschlgorin.
and Mlcses accounted for Mason. All
the remaining six games were decided in
the afternoon session. Janowskl out
played Napier In the ending, and Increased
his lead by one point. Gottschalk dis
posed of Wolf, Marshall downed Cohn,
Levin outplayed Olland, Swlderskl won
from Poplel arid Suechtlng and Bardleben
drew.
License for Root-Gardner Figrht.
SALT LAKE CITY, July 3L The pro
moters of the proposed Root-Gardner
fight, which wns scheduled to take place
at the Salt Palace saucer track August 14.
today obtained a license to pull off the
contest August 15. This, in the opinion
of Mayor Thompson, takes the matter out
of the Jurisdiction of the Elks, who have
a blanket license on all amusements in the
city for August 12 to 14, inclusive. Upon
hearing of this action, the Elks today for
warded to Governor Wells the letter from
Grand Exalted Ruler Pickett, asking for
Intervention. Prominent Elks believe that
if the fight occurs, Salt Lake Lodge will
lose Its charter and the grand lodge will
go elsewhere in Utah.
RICH CREEK NEGROE S.
Live in Indian Territory and Are De
scendants of Slaves.
New York Tribune.
The richest community of negroes In the
United States live in Indian Territory.
There aretlOOO of them, and they are worth
on an average of 53000 each. The wealth
of the more Industrious foot up even high
er, certain Individuals being the owner? of
from $10,000 to ?15.CC0 worth of land each.
The negroes are the descendants of
slaves of the Creek tribe of Indians, and
are known as Creek negroes. They are
entitled to a share In the division of Creek
Indian lands, also a part of .the trust
funds. Together the 7000 negroes own 22,
000.000 acres of land. And yet their edu
cation is far from complete. Their social
environments are crude In the extreme,
and progress goes slowly amid their huts
and fields.
Unlike the other Indians of the rich five
civilized tribes, the Creeks Insisted upon
freeing their slaves to give them an equal
share in their lands and money. At that
time there were few slaves, but the num
ber grew through descendants, until now
fully 7000. have laid successful claim to
a "head right" on the Creek rolls of citi
zenship. They have their own representa
tives In the Creek Indian Legislature,
their own schools and their own churches.
Everything bids fair to make them the
model community of negroes In the United
States when Indian Territory is recovered
frcm the tangled wilderness of reconstruc
tion, its laws made uniform and Itself a
state of the Union.
There is little culture among the Creek
negroes. They have a social set all their
own, to which not even the Indians are in
vited. Their characteristics are In a great
measure different from the negro of the
South or the North. It Is a mixture of
both, with additional peculiarities.
Like the Indians, these negroes have
their dances In the open, which have come
to be a sort of religion with them. And.
following in the footsteps of the Southern
negro, they have barbecues, 'possum hunts
and the like. As a Northern type of the
negro they are more Industrious and in
dependent of the whites, know how to
work hard and save their money, and, like
the type from the city, are well dressed
gaudily, but at the same time wearing
expensive clothes.
These 7000 Creek negroes live In a tract
of rich land called the Canadian River
bottoms, and Okmulgee is their town and
trading point. Okmulgee, is the capital
of the Creek Indian" NatloA. and has been
for years a negro town. Recently, how
ever, white people flocked In and have
taken possession. The negroes are start
ing their own towns along the branch of
the 'Frisco Railroad.
Notwithstanding that many of these
Creek negroes are industrious there are
some among them who rent out their es
tates and lounge in Idleness about the
railway statlona It Is a common sight to
see a SOO-acre tract of rich land in the
Canadian bottoms being tilled by a white
man. invariably, upon Inquiry as to his
landlord, he will refer to the negrp owner
In no complimentary terms. . Meanwhile
one will find the owner shooting craps or
enjoying himself eating turkey and 'pos
sum In a neighboring village.
Wrhen the Creeks freed their negroes In
1S64 the two fraternized for a time, and
even intermarried, but that has all passed
now. In accordance with the terms grant
ing their freedom the Creek negroes are
allowed a voice Jn the tribal government,
and so they have their own members In
the council, have their own schools and
all that; but the Creek Indian feel above
the Creek negro and refuses to associate
with him.

Yesterday was Portland's turn to win.
and. although Helena tried to make an
other whirlwind finish in the ninth, the
attempt netted no runs, and Sammy Vlg
neux trotted off with the victory, score 3
to 2. This gives Portland the undisputed
possession of third place again at least
for one day. The contest was a rather
tame affair. The players seemed to lack
their usual ginger. Maybe it was because
the ladles' day crowd was smaller and
the smiles from the fair sex les3 sweet,
since a tax has been levied upon them for
admission to the grandstand. The princi
pal fielding feature was an unassisted
double play by Claude Schmeer. the Hel
ena shortstop. Delsel knocked him a low
fly while Harris had a good lead off sec
ond. It looked as if the hit was going
safe, but Schmeer sloped It In and quick
ly touched second to complete the double.
Van Buren made five pretty catches In
center field one a sensational running left
handed catch but mls;cd the sixth, the
easiest one of the lot. Weed created a
sensation when he fielded a hit by Hannl
van and slid to the first bag In an en
deavor to put him out. Hannlvan got
there first and Weed lay on the ground.
At first it was thought that he was badly
hurt, and a doctor was called, but he soon
got up and stayed with the game. Harris
made a pretty play in the fourth, when
Sullivan hit the ball to the fence. The
right fielder got the ball on Its bounce
from the fence and put it to second In
time to catch his man.
Good Start in the First.
Portland started in on Its stock of runs
In the first Inning. An error by Peeples
and a scratch hit through Thompson put
Muller and Weed on the bases. Anderson
sent the ball to the right field fence for
a clean two-bagger and scored both of
these men. The next Inning passed off
quietly with no fireworks, but In the third
Helena tied the score. With two men out
Hannlvan got a hit when Weed slid to
the bag. Peeples was next, and hit a "fly
Just back of first base. Weed, Anderson
and Harris were all after the ball, and
none of them got it. This gave Peeples
two bases, and Hannlvan scored when tho
ball was thrown to the plate.. VIgneux
threw to get Peeples at third; but Zlegler
let the ball go through him, and Peeples
came in.
Zlegler put a short hit to left field In the
fourth, and Dclsel's hit over shortstop for
two bases scored him. In the sixth a
base on balls for Zlegler. a hit to right
Van Buren, vrhosc running left hand
catch wns the feature of yester
day's game,
field by Harris, which was poorly handled
bj' McGUUgan, and an error by Schmeer,
who dropped the ball when Harris stole
second, let Zlegler in for. another run.
The same man came In for his third run
In the eighth inning. A hit to left field
netted him two bases. He scored when
Harris hit through Holly, and four men
went after the ball. Schmcer's double
ended Portland's last time at bat.
TiKht Box in the Seventh.
The locals pulled themselves gut of a
bad place in tho seventh, when Van
Buren's error and a hit let Partridge and
Sullivan get on tho base with but one man
out. Sullivan was nailed at second when
Vigneux threw to Engle. who In turn
threw to Delsel. McGilllgnn was put out
at first by Engle and Weed, while Part
ridge was left on third.
If Helena-had started the finish a little
sooner the result might have been differ
ent. As it was, nothing was done until
after two men' were down. Then Shaffer
and Partridge both got hits, but Englo
ended the Senators' hopes by striking out
bum van. Tee score:

Baseball Notes.
One of the postponed games or the last
series with Helena will be played off this
afternoon.
Big Wlggs will be In the box for Helena
today, while Wltbeck will probably be
put up against him again.
Bert Cunningham has not been in the
box yet. He has not got his arm In con
dition, but he Is fast getting into shape,
and the fans will have a chance to sec
his work before long. He la sure to make
a hit with the Portland followers of the
game.
Some of the gentler Bex had a little
money left after paying their way in
yesterday,' or mayhc they didn't have to
pay, as three of the Portland boys got
bouquets. Weed. Anderson and Vigneux
were the lucky ones. The first two named
seemed rather embarrassed and jerked
their hats off as If they did not know
whether it was the proper thing to do or
not. However. Manager Vigneux did the.
act more gracefully and made a very neat
little bow. The others think he knew It
was criming and had been practicing.
Umpire Fisher has not arrived on the
scene as yet, but he Is expected to put
In bis appearance at any time. Ed
Rankin still has the distinctive honor of
filling the position, but finds It a rather
hard row to hoe. The players arc in
clined to jolly a good deal, and then the
grandstand and blecchers seem to think
he is a little off In some places. Some
people are always kicking, but there Is
no cause for a kick on Rankin. Even
Jack Flannery. who has- lost two games,
says Rankin Is all right, and does' not
blame him In the least for Helena's defeats.

bunched hits with Seattle's errors In the

manding lead. Seattle played a plucky
uphill game, and had a man on third In
the ninth, after coming within one of
tying the score. The batting of -Stovall

cracking out a double and a triple, and the
latter getting three hits when most need

IXLAXD EMPIRE LEAGUE.
Pendleton Team Has a Good Lend A
Strong: Team.
PENDLETON. Or.. July 31. (Special.)
The Pendleton baseball tcahi returned
from La Grande Sunday evening after
taking all four games of the scries. This
makes eight straight games which the
"Indians" have won from the "Beetpull
ers." The Baker City team arrived In this
city this morning to play a series of four
games, while La Grande and Walla Walln
will play In the latter city. The standing
of the teams In the Inland Empire League
nt the present time Is an follows:
Won. Lost. P. C.
Pendleton 12 1 .923
Baker City 6 7 AG2
Walla Walla 5 8 .35
La Grande 3 10 .231
It can be seen that Pendleton has a lead
which can only be overcome by a series
of defeats. This Is not probable, as the
Indians have the strongest staff of pitch
ers in the league and thoy are backed up
by a team which has been playing win
ning ball since the first of the season.
The record of the Pendleton team he
fore the Inland Empire League was formed
Is one of which the citizens of Pendleton
are justly proud.. Out of 46 games played
only 10 were lost, a percentage of .757. The
make-up of the Indians was then as fol
lows: Zlegler. third base and captain;
Brown, catcher; Stovall. pitcher and first
base; Hartman, first base; Schmidt, second
base; Fay, shortstop; Wlllner. pitcher and
right field: Hays, pitcher; Taylor, pitcher;
Rhea, catcher and right field; Knox, center
field; Clemens, left field.
The present league team Is composed of
eight of the old players, with R. P. Brown
as captain. Zlegler. who Is now with the
Portland team, was succeeded at third by
Burt Schllls, -of Salt Lake. Jim Cox. who
was with the "Yellow Kids." of Athena,
until thej disbanded, was placed In center
field to fill the vacancy made by Dick
Knox going to the Butte team, and Ad
ams, of Salt Lake, succeeded Clemens In
left field, the latter going to Baker City.
The management of the home team has
had no little trouble keeplns the team
together, as the Northwest League man
agers have been repeatedly after the
local players. Tempting offers have been
made to all of the pitchers on the team,
and Manager Cohen Is to be congratulated
on being able to keep them all.
It was the report here that the La
Grande Baseball Association had disorgan
ized and all their players were looking for
new positions. This Is. not the case, though
they may have had some Intention of
doing 'so. The team has been reorganized
with Al Ray as manager and Ralph Black
as captain. Two new pitchers will be
signed, and the "Beetpullers" will again
make a strenuous effort to throw off the
hoodoo."
Captain Brown was unfortunate In hav
ing his thumb broken In the game Sun
day. He will not be In the game for two
or three weeks. "Tamarac" Adams was
brought in from the field and placed be
hind the bat. where he will stay during
Brown's disability. Schllls Is now acting
captain.
George Stovall Is now leading tho batting
list In this league. In the scries at La
Grande he got 13 hits out of 20 times at
the bat. an average of .619.
Edward Hammond arrived today from
Caldwell, having signed with the "In
dians." Hammond is an all-around ball
player, a pitcher and fielder of consider
able ability. He will for the present be
placed In the outfield.
James Cox, Pendleton's popular center
fielder, has been released at his- own re
quest, saving accepted a position with De
mott & Co., of this city. JImmIe Is one of
the most popular men on the team, and
his many friends, feminine and otherwise,
will miss him on the diamond.
