BUTTE. Mont. Aug. 24. (Special.) Mc
Closkey's sluggers were able to wield the
willow today, and pounded out a victory
In the last game of the series with Port
land. Butte not only hit the ball, but
fielded to advantage. One of the two
errors made by the Buttes allowed the
visitors to make a run. Portland showed
a lack of confidence, and played a com
paratively listless game.
Contrary to the custom Portland went
to the bat first. Zeigler opened with a
lingle, and Van Buren got first on Dow
ling's error. Anderson flew out to Mar
Ehall, and Weed brought Zeigler In with
a tmely single. Vigneux gave Kane a
fly, and Muller put one up for Marshall.
In Portland's next time up Harris hit out
for two bags, and although Deisel sacri
ficed him to third, he failed to score.
Witbeck hit to McHale, but Harris was
kept at third by a clever throw to McDon
ough. Zeigler. the next man at the bat,
-was an easy out. Dowllng got a single
In Butte's half, but the next three men
were easy outs. The fourth was a pretty
Inning. Vigneux flew out to Knox. Muller
hit for two sacks, and scored on another
double by Harris. Deisel hit a fly to
Marshal, and Harris started for third, but
Marshall was too quick with the ball and
caught Harris off second, executing a neat
double play. Portland did nothing in the
fifth. "Weed hit, but was forced out at sec
ond by Vigneux's lilt to Zearfoss. Muller
hit to Marshall, and although Marshall
fumLled the ball, he -threw Vigneux out
at second. Harris flew out to Zearfoss.
In the eighth Portland took a brace and
scored twice. Anderson -was thrown out
at first by Kane, and "Weed singled, and
Vigneux followed suit. Weed scored on
Muller's out, and Vigneux crossed the
rubber on a single bv Harris. In this
inning Butte spoiled Portland's gain by
pounding out two more runs. The first
of the ninth opened "with Witbeck up.
He singled, Zeigler gave McHale a put
out, and Van Buren forced Witbeck out
at second. Anderson's fly to Marshall
ended the game- The score:

man team on the professional grounds
yesterday afternoon by a scoro of 15 to 4.
A game had been scheduled early in the
week between the Upchurch and the Dia
mond "W" teams, but on Thursday last
it was found that the Hlllsboro people
would bo unable to come down, and so
yesterday's game had to be arranged for.
The features were the great batting of
Jacobs and Allen, the former getting a
three-bagger, two two-baggers and a sin
gle, with only four times at bat. Trilby
Rankin umpired, and the batteries were:
Upchurch, Reed, Baldwin and Brown, and

header today. The former lost the first
game through errors at critical stages.
The largest crowd that ever attended a
ball game at Cincinnati was on the field,
there being 24.s97 people. The crowd
surged upon the field, so that ground
rules, calling for two bases when a ball
was hit into the crowd, had to be made.

HITS OFF THE DIAMOND
TEA3IS BUNCHED IX RACE FOR THE
NORTHWEST PENNANT.
It Is Yet by Xo Means Ended, and
Portland Has Something: of
a Show.
A hard race Is on for the Northwest
baseball championship, and the four possi
ble winners are rounding the turn which
leads to the home stretch, on which one
of the prettiest baseball races in history
will be fought out. Seattle leads the van.
but Eutto Is pressing the Queen City hard,
and may reach the wire first. Then Hel
ena and Portland are both coming for
ward at a rapid rate, and grandstand fin
ishes by both of these teams would not
surprise the fans, who are watching Ihe
race with interest. -Portland "won two
games out of the series Just played with
Butte, and came dangerously close to
winning a third victory. Helena won four
out of five with Seattle, and If the Sena
tore keep up their lick, Seattle and Butte
VESSEL
may look sick and trembllngiat the finish.
Helena still has the mighty Wiggs, the
report that he Intends jumping to Sacra
mento being the purest kind of a fake, if
Manager Jack Flannery's word counts for
anything. Flannery has at last muatered
a strong team, and those who know say
that the aggregation from Helena will
make a most spectacular finish. Then
Portland must not be overlooked. If Kos-
tal keeps up his lick and "Witbeck gets
back Into form, Portland's, pitching staff
will be a top-notcher as good as any In
the league. George Engle is one of the
best all-around twlrlers In the Northwest
today, and if Portland's other box artlsta
can win their share of games, the local
team will be heard from yet It may be
due to the high altitude or to something
else, but the fact remains that the Port
land men are now hitting harder than
before- The batting order has been
changed, and Zeigler, who is an artist
with the willow, now wields the stick
first for Portland. It has been whispered
about that certain players of tho big East
ern leagues will drop Into the city next
month and finish the season with Port
land. If this be true, and the few weal:
places on the team are strengthened. Port
land may show her heels to tho bunch,
for the final 25 games will be played on
the home grounda A couple of good,
smashing hitters would look good to the
local fans, and would pull the Webfoot
era through to first place. Seattle and
Butte are not- so very far ahead of Port
land and Helena, and those who believe
that any one team has a "cinch" on tho
pennant are few and far between.
The following clipping from the Mem
phis Sclmetar will prove of Interest to
Northwest baseball fans:
"James St Vraln, one of the crack
pitchers of the local team, and the man
who has stirred up a veritable hornet's
neet In tho Southern League, is only 25
years of age. He was born in Mexico,
Mo., and lived there up until a few years
ago, when he took up baseball playing
for a livelihood. His first engagement
with a professional team was in 1893, when
he pitched with an Independent team in
Helena, Mont In 1905 he was one of the
fitar pitchers in tho Montana State
League, being a member of the Butte
team. Last year he played ball with
Tacoma in the Pacific States League, and
ho was so well thought of after the sea
son had closed that the Tacoma manage
ment made every effort to retain him,
even after his calo to Chicago. In Mem
phis he has proved himself a wonder, and
there has been no Inclination on the part
of the local management to shirk any
fight-made upon them In order that they
might retahi his cervices. Mr. St Vraln
Is married and his wife is with him In
Memphis."
A review of the scores of the recent
Butte-Portland games, shows that the
Portland men made the following bat
ting averages during the series: Weed.
400; Ziegler. 391; Vigneux. 37C; Harris. 300;
Van Buren, 250; Witbeck. 250; Moler, 222;
Diesel. 222; Anderson, 2ld; Engle, 125;
Shea, 000; Kostal. 000.
An old National League player, who
was in PortlanQ recently, says that Andy
Anderson, the popular Eecond baseman
of the Portland team, is by far the best
all-around player' In the Northwest
League. This critic lives In the East
and has absolutely no Interest in any of
the Northwest teams or players. He
fays that Anderson fields his position
better than any man Jn the league,
throws accurately and Is a hard hitter.
Furthermore, the critic, who has seen
every team in the Northwest League
play ball, says that Weed is the next
best man. The man who passed the
above opinion knows ball players when
he sees them, and his Judgment Is formed
by years of practical experience.

Pendleton Defeats Baker City.
BAKER CITY, Or., Aug. 24. The most
exciting game of 'the Inland Empire
series was played here today between
Baker City and Pendleton. The score
was even until the eighth inning, when
Pendleton forged ahead one. Baker went
to the bat at tho beginning of the ninth
and soon had two men out and one man
on the third. A lucky hit to right field;
brought the man from third and the
score was again even. When Pendleton
went to the bat for the last half of the
ninth, they soon lost two men, but the
failure of Baker's center field to take in

TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP IN DANGER.
Englishmen Putting Up Strong Game
Will End Wednesday.
NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 24. One by one
the four-score tennis players who last
Tuesday began the national champion
ship singles have fallen before superior
players, and only six now remain In the
tournament Tomorrow, the fifth round
In the tournament will be played, and It
Is expected the winners will meet on
Tuesday or perhaps Wednesday to bat
tle fro the honor of challenging tho pres
ont champion, William A. Larned, for
tlie national championship. The indica
tions are that M. D. Whitman, of Bos
ton, will bo one of the players In the
finals, and that one of the Doherty broth
ers will be the other which one has not
been decided. The feeling among the
tennis experts hero seems to be that the
championship is in gravo danger, and
that Whitman alone stands between It
and the Dohertys.
Tho English players have been playing
stronger and stronger, and it seems al
most Impossible to defeat them. Tomor
row tho younger, H. L. Doherty, will
play L. E. Ware, of Boston, and this
match will be the feature of tho day's
playing. Ware has shown considerable
ability this year, and It Is expected he
will put up a strong game against tho
Englishman, but few believe he will win.
The tournament probably will bo brought
to a close Wednesday or Thursday.

noted trotting-horse experts quote the re
mark as an established fact. Tho Cali
fornia Zephyr Is also an unbeaten one,
"He ha3 not lost a heat this year, a record
that his owner may well be proud of.
The two horses, both well known on the
Pacific Coust, are traveling in pretty fast
company, as a list of the 1502 tlmemakers

Tlmo record.
T. D. Condon has sold one of his favor
ite trotters. T. D. C, a C-year-old. by
Zombro. to George T. Beckers. The price
has not been made public, but It Is said to
be good and satisfactory to both parties
The trotter is now in the Beckers stable
t.nd his name has been lengthened by his
new owner to Tee-Dec-Cee, with "Teddy'
sa an abbreviation. In the purchase of
Teddy, horsemen think Mr. Beckers se
cured a prize. Last year the. trotter
made a mile In 2:214. and the last half
In IKS, after only six weeks work. Ted
dy has been In pasture all of this season
and has done very little work. Mr. Beck
ers wlil train him at Irvington during the
rest of the Summer, and will winter him
In California. Next year Teddy will be
placed on either the grand or the Call
fcrnla circuit, and his owner predicts a
mark of 2:15 or better for him.
Crcsccus did not cut the expected dash
at Indianapolis Thursday, but he Bhowed
that he had Ihe mettle, and something
may drop before the season ends. On
what to him was a new track he went
against his record of 2:02. but he made
2:04. half a second less than the track
mark for trotters, established by Nancy
Hanks. 10 years ago. Ketchum Is pleased
with the result hut not so the local admir
ers of the horse, who predicted anything
from 2:02 to 52:02. Local prophecies were
based upon the work at Cleveland. In
stiff trials about two weeks ago Cresccus
driven bv Ketchum, went in 2:40. 2:23.
2:16! and 2:14. and the last Quarter of the
lust mile was done Jn 20 seconds, or a
two-minute gait.
The Jester, a 2-year-old In tho Beckers
stable at Irvington, gives promise of be
ing one of the fastest of his class on tho
Coast. He will make his first appearance
on the track at Salem In the 5SC0 trot
and he Is picked for a winner. In a
work-out Thursday he stepped a mile in
2:30, with the greatest ease imaginable.
and he cleared the last eighth In 17 sec
onds. a 2:1G gait Mr. Beckers thinks the
Jester has a wonderful future.
T. W. Lawson has Haken BoraTma oft
the turf., and the race with The Abbott,
scheduled to take place at Hartford, Conn.,
on August so. nes been declared on
Boralma has rone to pieces, and his
owner elves ud all hopes of his ever re
urntTiP' to tho turf. He will bn srlven a
well-earned race at Dreamwold farm, and
there, Lawson writes, he will have the
select portions of the oats and hay, even
If he lives to be a centennarlan. The Ab
bott also has gone lame, and his race with
Lord Derby is oil.
Zephyr, by Zombro, a Pacific Coast
horse, has not lost a race this season,
The Roman, by McKlnney, has won six
euccesclve races, and he and Charley Mack
look as lf they might sweep the grand
circuit In their respective classes.
Letters received by Portland horsemen
state that McKlnney. the great Pacific
Coast trotting sire, was met by a. brass
band when he arrived in Bloomlngton,
I1L, a short time ago.
Horses with defective eyesight, or no
eyesight whatever, seem to be winners in
the East Leaving out the great Rythmic,
who is entirely blind, there are New Rich-
mona and Elastic Pointer, each of whom
does business with one eye:
The first week of the Seattle races closed
Saturday, and the ending was anything
but satisfactory to the Oregon favorites.
Mack Mack, driven bS' Helman, went down
before Commonwealth, and won only a
single heat, and. by the way, dropped out
of his class. He had been entered for
the 2:20. and he made the mark for the
race, which was 2:18. This mark places
him In the 2:18 class, and he cannot be
entered in t.e 2:20 in the late closing
events at Irvington. or the State Fair,
entries for which will close today. Mack
Mack will have to go Into the new class,
and t Is said that It Is notany too fast
for him, for he has shown something
like 2:16 speed. It Is said that he would
have made 2:io at Seattle, but the track
was new to him, while Commonwealth had
been ambling there for several weeks.
Simpson and Tilden both came back
from Seattle yesterday morning, and the
latter returned last night Neither one
had much to say about the races, except
that good time had been made. Simpson
thought that some of the horses which
made 2:14 could make 2:11 or 2:12 on the
Irvir.rton track, which was slow, but
comparatively faster than that of Seattle.
Of the runners, he said that they were
closing up on the world's record. Some
other Portlanders who were in Seattle ex
pressed their opinions quite freely. They
said the Seattle track was very slow, and
that horses trained to It had the greatest
advantage in tho world. Where the track
had been stumped holes had been left in
the ground, with no pretense of a filling,
and strange horses found the excavations.
One or two dropped Into them, and a well-
known horseman says that Helman
checked on the third heat, and lost the
race rather than tako chances of laming
Mack Mack. Ot the presiding Judge. Ful-
lerton, of Vancouver, B. C. the Portlander
cald he waaa good, straightforward man.
but ho did not know the "how" of horse
racing. Another complaint was of a post
ponement cf the races. It was nothing un
usual to line the horsemen up and tell
them that a race scheduled for one day
would not take place until the next and
some were so disgusted that they took
their horses away. Of fairness, all that
was praiseworthy was said. M. D. Wis
dom, of Portlund, cno of the judges, or
dered a driver who was supposed to be
'holding in" off his seat, and replaced him
with Tilden, who won the race handily.
Lady Jones was the only Oregon winner
at Seattle. In the 3-year-old stakes she
made 2:26. and she did not require any
great urging, cither. Last year Lady
Jones won the 2-year-old stakes at Salem.
T. D. Condon will enter Lord Kitchener
for the 2:24 stakes-at Irvington and Salem.
Tho Lord will arrive from California about
September 8, and he will be lodged at Sa-
lem until the Portland races begin. The
Salem stake, for which he Is entered,
amounts to $1000.
GENERAL SIGEL'S FUNERAL
Simple Bnrlal Service Old Soldier
TVere Prominent.
NEW YORK, Augl 24. Taps were sound
ed today for General Franz Sigel. Sim
ple and unostentatious was his funeral
Surrounding the flag-covered coffin, where
In lay the dead General, attired In the
well-worn uniform he had used during the
war, stood a few surviving comrades who
had fought shoulder to shoulder with the
veteran In wars In two hemispheres. Some
of these spoke simple eulogies, and then
the body was carried to Its last resting
place in Woodlawn cemetery, followed by
a long line of scarred and crippled veter
ans bearing with them tattered flags.
Conspicuous among thofie who paid trib
ute to the memory of General Slgel was
Carl Schurz, his comrade- in arms, first
In the great uprising which swept Europe
in 1843, and later in tho Civil War. As Mr.
Schurz stood by the bier of his dead
friend and recalled the battles in which
they had fought together, he gave way to
emotion and had to lean on tho lid of the
COfilM.
For three hours tho body lay In state,
and during that time at least 10.000 persons
filed past There were several relatives,
the chief mourners being the widow of
General Slgel, his four sons, his daughter
and members of their respective families,
Following them came the orators of the
occasion Carl Schurz, Dr. Jacobl and
George von Skal.
