SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. B. (Special.)
Hlckey was Invincible today, while Engle
was hit harder than usual. Only the
fastest kind of fielding behind Engle kept
the Seattle score down. Anderson got
v.oi- inn tVio d-ottio nnil ratired out tho
hit In the first Inning that brought Van- j
Buren over the plate'- witn roruanua
first run. In the second Inning, when
it looked as if Seattle had Engle going,
it was Anderson -who converted what
looked like a safe hit into a double play,
and save two or more runs .from scoring.
"With Stanley and Hickey on bases Dren
nan hit safely, scoring Stanley: and Bab
bitt, next up, hit a twisting grounder
down between first and second. Ander
son was playing close in. but by a tre
mendous reach he managed to spear the
ball with one hand. While he was re
covering his balance Hlckey scored, but
he got Babbitt at first and Weed shot the
ball to Vigneux in time to head off Dren-'
nan, who almost scored from first on
the play.
Portland scored one in the first on
Van Buren's double and Anderson's hit
to center. Seattle tied the score in their
half on a base on balls to Babbitt, a
double by Schwartz and a single by
Hurley. Seattle took the lead in the
second, on safe hits by Campbell, Stanley
and Drennan, and were never headed
after that. They got another In the
fifth, on safe hits by Schwartz, Klopf and
Hurley, and Portland got their last run
In the sixth, when Delsel reached first
on an error, and hits by Engle and Zeig
ler brought him. home. Schwartz spoiled
the rally by racing over to second, scoop
ing Van Buren's hard drive, and beating
Zeigler to second. He then shot the
ball over his shoulder to first ahead of
Van Buren. Seattle got the last run In
the. eighth. Seattle made three safe hits
in this inning before they got a man on
base to stay. Hurley and Dalrymple hit
safely In succession, and both were
thrown out trying to steal. Campbell
followed with a safe hit and so did Stan
ley. Campbell got third on a short
passed ball, though the decision was
close. He- scored when Engle threw to
second to catch Stanley, Delsel being: un
able to get the ball back fast enough to
catch him. Umpire Fisher's work was
freely criticized bji-both. teams.-

BUTTE, Sept 5. The tail-enders won
today's game by scoring on Butte's cost
ly errors, timely hitting and all-around
better ballplaylng. Some bad blunders by
the locals when perfect play should only
"be expected: cost them the game, although
the Tigera hit Dowling hard in one'lnnlng
and got a lead too big to be overcome. Not
only that, but Tacoma had e lot of luck
with her, and this element did much to
win the game for her. Dowling pitched
food ball, but his support was ragged
t times and he made an error himself
which was costly.

JACK GRIM TO. BE LET, OUT.
Spokane Cnb Does Not Want' Him
Next Year.
SPOKANE, Sept 5. The Chronicle says
"today:
"Jack Grim is a marked man. It has
been decided that next year the Spokane
club shall have an Eastern playing man
ager. Negotiations are now being made
with the man In view. The complaints
against Grim are mismanagement, lack of
control over the players and not taking
advantage of opportunities to strengthen
the team. There has not been harmony in
the organization, team work has been
lacking and other teams have gobbled up
players that Spokane should have had
with a little more hurrying. Then the
team has been losing. From a financial
standpoint, however. Grim- has not made
a failure. Director Harry Green said:
'I certainly think Grim Is to blame. The
players are sore on him, and it looks as
though Pfelster is pitching for his re
lease. The game j'esterday demonstrated
that point' Pitcher Drlnkwater, former
ly of Tacoma, has been signed by'Man
ager Grim to pitchy for Spokane. He
passed through Spokane today,, en route
to Montana to Join the team."

frames it did look like a runout for him.
but King suddenly came to the front and
holed the balls. Inthe next frame Boone
made a fine break, but did not find a
pocket Some of his friends made "ln-
nard - comments on his work, and Boone
made an answer which was accepted as a
prediction of his future success.
"A man once stalled his chickens and
said they would be all right," said Boone,
as he looked upon a 54-40 sign against him.
"But a colored man came near that chicken-coop,
and that was the last of the
chickens," and Boone shot for. nine
straight
The finish of the game was exciting, for
King made many treble-banks and seldom
missed a ball. The large crowd of specta
tors vigorously applauded ever good shot
The colored champion, Boone, played well,
but In hard luok. A forfeit was placed
last night for another match-Monday and
Tuesday nights at the same place. King
will play 600 to 500 balls for- $200 a side.
The Chicago man showed the local play
ers some of the best pool ever played on
the Coast, and challenges any one to
600-to-500 ball game for any part of $1000.
F. Ellis of San Francisco Is here, and is
open for any game after the King-Boone
match.

SUIT AGAINST STEEL TRUST
Counsel Declares It Is a Black
mailing Scheme.
NEWARK. N. J.; Sept. 5. Vice-Chan
cellor Emery gave a hearing today In the
suit brought by J. Asplnwall Hodge and
others for an Injunction to restrain the
United States Steel Corporation from
carrying out its plant to retire $200,000,000
of preferred stock and to issue $250,000,000
of five per cent bonds. R. v. Lindabury
of counsel for the defense, moved for an
order directing the complainants to come
into court to be cross-examined on ques
tlona touching their stockholdings. Mr,
Lindabury also moved for an order to
have the case stricken from the records of
the court as an Imposition. He declared
that he and his associate counsel, Winiam
Guthrie and Charles H. Corbin, were pre
pared to show by their own affidavits that
the suit was a blackmailing scheme, and
a conspiracy with Lamar as chief conspir
ator.
Robert H. McCartey, for the plaintiffs.
Questioned the right of the court to dis
miss the case "at the present stage of the
proceedings. Mr. Lindabury argued in fa
vor of the court's right of dismissal, and
quoted several decisions in support of his
view of the matter.
Mr. McCarter In replying to Mr. Lind
abury, characterized the stricture re
garding the good faith of the complain
ants as unwarranted and uncalled for.
Vice-Chancellor Emery said the. applica
tions and motions made by the defend
ants Involve'd important questions and
that he would make no decision without
careful consideration. The- hearing was
postponed until Tuesday.

USE OF OIL AS FUEL.
Report of Lieutenant Wlnchell, Who
Made the Trip on the Mariposa.
WASHINGTON, Sept 5. The report of
Lieutenant Ward Wlnchell, .U. S. N., the
expert detailed by the Navy Department
to observe the installation and efficiency
of the oil fuel system as fitted to the
Oceanic Steamship Company's steamer
Mariposa, has been received at the Navy
Department The report contains matter
of great value to the shipping and naval
service, and sets out some facts relative
to the use of oil as fuel which have been
earnestly sought from the Navy Depart
ment by steamshlpmen and oil-producers.
Some of these facts follow:
The Mariposa's gross displacement was
3160 tons, and her average of 354 knots
and a mean speed of 13.58 knots with278
barrels of oil per day. This was 50 per
cent less In weight than would be re
quired of coal, for 1 pounds of oil suf
ficed to produce a horsepower. An im
portant advantage in the oil -fuel was the
reduction of the engine-room force from
36 to 20 men. The ship used only 12 of
her 13 furnaces, burning crude oil in two
burners In each furnace by means of an
air-compressor of a capacity of 1000 cubic
feet per minute at 30 pounds pressure. All
of the burners were not used, except at
short intervals.
Every precaution was taken to Insure
safety by ventilating the oil tanks and
otherwise. The entire refuse, after a run
of 3438 miles from San Francisco to Ta
hiti, barely filled two ash buckets, and
the flames did not affect the boilers unfa
vorably. Difficulties experienced were
confined to -the choking of strainers.
which can be obviated by duplicating
those parts, and in the regulation of the
supply of oil to feeders. When the alr
compressor needed overhauling, in one or
two instances, recourse was had to a
steam spray, which had been provided."
Lieutenant Wlnchell says that If fewer
men are needed In the flreroom with 'oil.
It Is necessary for men of higher Intelli
gence, wth technical aptitude and nerve
closely to watch the furnaces. The essen
tials are that there should be a constant
air pressure for atomizing, that provision
shall be made to maintain regular temper
ature of the oil, and that the oil strainers
be watched steadily.
Lieutenant Wlnchell says that the Mari
posa's, trip was remarkable In many re
spects, and was not only a tribute to tho
skill of the Pacific mechanics, but to tha
enterprise of the company which first in
stalled tho oil burners in lieu of coal

MANAGER THE OLD ST. LOUIS DISPENSAR1
Cflr. Second and Yamhill $fs Portland, Or
Look here, young man, if you suffer from any of the
weakening effects of disease caused by your boyish pranks
and contagion or you may have been swindled by quack
doctors, but don't forget the fact that you must be cured, it
never gets well itself, the drain and losses continue and
unless stopped will land you with thousands of others in the
asylum or the grave. A great number of divorce cases if the
underlying cause could be investigated would be found to
be the incompatibility of physical conditions. The time is
coming when it will be necessary for a medical and physical
examination before a marriage certificate is granted. The
weakness and diseased condition of people will make such a
course indispensable for protection to the children of future
generations. Already the physical condition of every do
mestic animal is carefully graded up except cats and human
beings. Many young men have consulted old Dr. Kessler
before getting married. Good health insures happiness in
this world.
Women We desire to say to the woman we know from
many years' experience that many are suffering untold agony
from complicated diseases that this old St. Louis Dispensary
treats hundreds. The ladies' department is full all day dur
ing office hours. We can refer to many whose life was a
drag of pain and nervousness until we cured them. Private
rooms for ladies. If you can't call write your condition.
Our home system of treatment has cured hundreds. Address

NEIGHBORS GETTING BUSY
Could There Be Something in the
Rumored Slump of Piano Player
Prices After All?
A few years ago, we all remember, a
good Rambler bike could not be bought
for lesa than $135. Now $40 gets a finer
one than was ever made at that time.
For this reason many have said that the
price of piano players would be very
greatly reduced before long. We argued
that the great demand for these little ma
chines would keep up high pries for a long
time to come, yet we may have been mis
taken. At any rate, piano-player dealers seem
to fear a curtailment of already meager
profits on account of the rumored reduc
tion of the retail prices. This must cer
tainly be the reason for their frantic re
embarkation Into the piano field.
We bid them welcome. We are glad to
have the air of "innocuous desuetude"
dispersed from the upper portion of tho
music block, and we hope yet to see this
the greatest "music" block on earth.
We are glad to note our old friend,
"Deacon Kennedy," around here again. It
seems like old times. To be sure, when
he was "one of ua" he Breached the. su
periority of the country's three greatest
planers, the Kimball, the Weber and the
Ontokerlng, which now, owing to his bread
being buttered differently, he may have
forgotten; but. nevertheless, we are glad
tip see him back here in the Music block.
Let us see. Two years ago our tenants
were inveigled into accepting the agency
for the Sherman-Clay line. And, come
to thiDk of it. thev did succeed in. selling
one, or was it really two, pianos during
the whole year they represented the Sherman-Clay
line of pianos? Then theso
instruments went into the late-lamented
firm of Soule Bros. & Johnston, which
has now Decome a so-called "piano com
pany." But somehow during all of that year
peoplo who called at the corner did riot
seem to get into a trading mood. Let 9
tell why. When Sherman, Clay & Co.
wholesale pianos, they exact a very liberal
wholesale profit on each piano. Now,
when Ellers Piano House gets Its Instru
ments from factories direct It can save
customers this middlemen's profit, and
Portland people would rather have a snug
little 560 or $S0 left In their own pockets
than have It go into the coffers of San.
Francisco Jobbing-houses.
But we hope they're on the right tack
this time, let It may be possible that
certain agreements which Wiley B. Allen
Is said to have made with his successors,
variously known from time to time as
Gilbert & Jones. Allen & Gilbert, Gilbert
Ramaker still hold good. Hold on! That
looks like a good many changes In a firm
name in so short a time. But that, as
Kipling says, is another story.
Anyway, if so, then our worthy friends
In the corner are .now paying not only a
San Francisco jobber's profit, but also an
other profit to the Seattle parties who
seem to have gobbled up our erstwhile
First-street competitors. If this be so
well, let's wait and see.
Anyway the whole thing begins to look
as a foreboding of the prettiest kind of a
piano war. We believe there have beertr
such things In Portland during the past.
But we want It distinctly understood that
we are not compelled 'to hawk our pianos
and organs around town. We're too busy
here at 351 Washington street, selling pi
anos. Can't have our salesmen hawking
around town. We should say not. We
must have sold thirteen or fourteen pianos
at retail yesterday. Look for the list in
tomorrow's Oregonian.
