THE MORNING OREG02TCAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1903. CLUB IN FINE TRIM Portland Ready for Today's Diamond Battle. CRIPPLES AGAIN IN THE GAME Butler Will Pitch, on Opening: Day of the Pacific Coaat League Season Against Husk Harris' Saints. SAN FRANCISCO, March 25. (Staff cor respondence.) If confidence counts for anything, the Portland Browns "will to morrow -win the opening game from Hank Harris' Saints. The team to a man has rounded out In splendid shape. The hurts and sprains, from which several of the players have been suffering, seem to have disappeared with their coming to the Bay City, and each man is as full of enthusi asm as a prizefighter Is full of fight. Browns Show Fine Form. Early this morning Captain Vlgneux took his matchless bunch of ball tossers out to Eighth and Harrison streets. The biff of the bat and the swish of the ball as It tore Its way through tho grass soon brought out several hundred of the faith ful, who watched with genuine eagerness the practice of the men. With eyes that years of ball watching have made criti cal, they watched the individual wrirk j3f each man, and almost to a man they de cided that if the Saints won It would be on account of the "Stonewall" Infield. And this is so, for If the Browns, who are all great stickers as their work showed them to be, can plant the ball out of reach of Mr. Harris Infield, they can win hands down. If there Is anything in sizing up the capabilities of two teams by watching them at practice, then the Portlanders have nothing to fear at the hands of San Francisco ball swatters. In the outfield the Browns showed fas ter and steadier work. At the bat they seemed stronger and surer in place hit ting, and in the infield, where the local fans seem to think they outshine any team in the league, nothing could be noted that would Indicate they had tomorrow's game wrapped up and delivered tied. Saints Xot to Be Sneered At. While this is true, the Saints arc not a crew that can be sneered at. They are a fast lot, and if Sammy Vlgneux wins, as he says that he will without any ifs or buts, he will have to play ball from the first cry of the umpire. The Individ ual interest that the Browns are taking In each other has the markings of suc cess. This has brought the team up to a point of almost perfect team work, In spite of tho fact that rain has Interfered greatly with the practice. The signals have been rehearsed, so that there is lit tle danger of their getting grounded and causing trouble. During tho last couple of days the men have worked like dock wallopers, and their arms and legs have lost their stiffness, so that every man on the team .can go id tomorrow and .playbang, tjp, -baseball rifj he is needed. Even-Anderson, who is but a few days out of. the hospital, took a lit tle light work in the field today. Andy Informed Captain Vlgneux after he had romped about the diamond for half an hour that he would be in the game in less than a week. Captain Vlgneux has kept his eagle eye on his pitching staff, and he has decided upon Butler as the slab artist for the opening day. Engle will be held In re servo and will be the second adminis trator of shoots and curves. Both men have speed to burn. They have also one of the most bewitching and alluring slow balls that will sure bait many of the un wary Saints. Today's Llnc-Up. The line-up of the team as they will ap pear at the bat Is as follows: Schmeer, shortstop; Van Buren, center field; Smith, left flold; Andrews, third base; Shaffer, first base; ZInser, second base, and Vlg neux, catcher. Against them Harris will pit his- star twirler, "Hodson, with Whalen as second choice. Henry Harris, with his characteristic manner of producing good baseball with little fuss and feathers, is going to limit his parade to ball players only. The parade will leave the Park at 1:S0, and. accompanied by the best band In San Francisco, the players In full uniform, will be driven through the principal streets of the city, then back to the grounds. At 3:30 the first ball will be pitched over tho plate, and the baseball season of the Pa clfic Coast League, for 1903, will open. At Los Angeles, Park Wilson's fiiwashes and Sam Morley's star Importations will do likewise. At Sacramento, Pete Loh man will undo his long-promised bunch of surprises and send them against Mike Fisher's chickens that he has been guard lng with a shotgun and several other Im plements of war. So, taking It all In all. March 26 will long be remembered In base ball history on the Pacific Coast. Cnn't Shnkc Chiles. The Browns seem to be unable to shake Pleroe Chiles. This discarded player hov ers about the men like a vulture, and begs fcr dimes and Quarters until the players have become thoroughly sick and dis gusted with him. He is shunned and he knows it, but he is without shame and refuses to bo insulted so long as he can work the men for money. W. G. M. team.

After Davis had been in jail for some time the second pawnbroker put in an appearance. "James -Davis is here?" asked Carrie Myers rushing Into the station. "What Is his ball?" This was about 3:30, and at 6 o'clock she was still trying to make ar rangements to have the prisoner bailed out. "Three hundred dollars cash," she was told, but appeared with a check for the amount instead. The check was not ac cepted, and she then decided that she would prefer to give paper ball, and In stituted a search for Judge Hogue. It was late in the evening before the prisoner was finally turned free. "ROOSEVELT INVINCIBLES" EXPOSITIONS IN JAPAN Negroes of Portland Organize to Sup port the President.

Their backers and managers loudly disclaim any attempt at nxlng the contest, and the general opinion locally is that the little fellows will fight on the level.

Becanie It Change From Diamond to Paste, James Davis Is Arretted. A diamond ring, a colored man, twp pawnbrokers, and $123 formed the basis of an Interesting case that the detectives were working on yesterday afternoon. James Davis, the colored man, was ar rested, charged with the larceny of 5125. The proprietor of the Metropolitan pawn shop, C9 Third street, was the first pawn broKer In the case, and it was he that was out the 5125. Carrie Myers was the second pawnbroker In the case, and she was concerned In getting ball for the col ored man. The diamond ring played the part of "now you see It; now you don't," and It was by using it that the negro obtained the money. The man who runs the Metropolitan pawnship Is an old New Yorker, and boasts that no Imitation diamond can be made that will fool him evening. The chairman, Mr. E. D. Can hedy, called the meeting to order, and after several stirring speeches, a com mittee, consisting of Messrs. J. C. Logan. Howard Sproull, A.D. Griffin, C. A. Hit ter and W. H. Carter, presented the fol lowing resolutions, which were unani mously adopted: Whereas, The attitude assumed by President Theodore Roosevelt toward the negro should be indorsed by every Afro American In ever section of this repub lic: and Whereas, Our great and impartial Pres ident has again turned our eyes toward the door of hope; therefore be it Resolved, That the negroes of Portland, Or., form an organization to be known as the "Roosevelt Invlnclbles," said or ganization's foremost purpose being to fa vor and in every honorable way to pro mote the nomination of President Roose velt in 1904. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves from this time henceforth to use our Influence for his election In 1904, and urgently rec ommend the formation1 of similar asso ciations throughout the United States. Resolved, That In his excellency the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt liberty of the world has a most fervent defender, civi lization a gallant representative, human ity a generous protector and the Ameri can nation a type of civil valor and heroic self-denial which ought to characterize the first magistrate of a republic Resolved, That we recognize that the great and unfinished task of tho Immortal Lincoln has fallen into his hands, and will be properly and successfully accom plished for the happiness and prosperity of the nation. Resolved, That we begin tonight to work unitedly and patriotically for the pur poses for which this association has been formed. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be published In The Oregonlan, Tel egram and New Age. The opening" of the Osaka Exposltlon-is the subject of a letter from Colonel H. E. Dosch. special commissioner from the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Colonel Dosch writes under date of March 2 In a highly entertaining manner. The opening was on March L He describes It as fol lows: "Agreeable with the original plan, the Fifth National Industrial Exposition was opened in this city yesterday (Sunday) un der most favorable conditions. Early In the morning the city was enveloped In a dense fog, which, however, drifted seaward before the vast crowds took up their march exposltlonward, and. the sun shed his grateful rays over alL "Long before the time set for the ceremonies-all the streets and avenues leading to the exposition were crowded with peo ple, and It was with great difficulty that our kuru-ma-ya could push their, way through. "All the officials, commissioners, city, county and state dignitaries gradually as sembled in the large ceremonial hall, and promptly at 10 o'clock Prince Kanin stepped upon the platform and delivered what Is said to be an excellent address, which was listened to in profound silence, the audience standing. At the close the Prince simply bowed, and, Instead of deafening applause such as would have followed our American orator, all present bowed low down and remained in that at titude until the Prince had retired, whlch ls the highest compliment thf.t can be paid to any one. We were then handed souve nir boxes containing choice Japanese can dies, handkerchiefs and plans of the ex position, and Invited to Inspect the many buildings, wnich was dene in a body. I soon drifted away, as I was more Inter ested in the vast crowd outside, and worked my way to the grand entrance gate. This gate faces over a large square of possibly ten acres, from which radiate the streets toward the city. This was congested with an immense mass of people for a mile or more; standing as I did on a little elevation, I beheld a sea of expectant faces with their ears primed to the midday gun, the signal for the turnstiles to com mence their unceasing click. The moment the gun wag fired I could behold a wave of delight pass over the countenances of these hundreds of thousands of visitors. The sight was awe-inspiring. "I expected a grand rush, and feared the frail gates and fences would be crushed In, as there were only a few policemen on duty: but I was agreeably disappointed. Everybody was orderly; no crowding, no pushing, no Jostling and hollering to get In first; nothing of the kind; every one passed through quietly, smiling and bow ing as they handed their admission tickets to the gatekeepers to punch out for them to drop into a box as they passed out later in the day. I stood for three hours watch ing and admiring" the gentle patience of these people, and still they were coming. "When the tlcke.ts were counted It was found that over 310,000 persons' had paid the small admission fee of 5 sen (24 cents) This may seem a small sum to us, but when you consider that the majority of Japanese earn only 15 to 20 sen (7 to 10 cents) a day. it is quite a tax even then. and the administration no doubt had this in mind when they placed the admission at that figure. Another reason is to give them a chance, not to visit the exposition once, but often, for the sole purpose of education and study of the advancement In art, science and manufactures. "The reason for such a laree attendance was not because it was Sunday, but be cause it was the first of the month. But permit me to explain what is not gener ally known. There Is no Sunday in Xapan, In the term we understand It. Factories, stores, shops and everything go on right along the same as any other day. But there is a first and 15th of each month- being paydays on which no factory hand works. They claim these as special holi days; for the other days of the month they are practically prisoners, working al most day and night. No doubt these two days each month will be grand gala days of the exposition. "The only building which was com pletely ready is the vast and largest of all, containing the Japanese exhibits. In which can be seen every conceivable art! cle of manufacture artistically arranged a place wen worth a week's visit. "In the foreign sample exhibit building. In which we are located. Oregon's exhibit was the only one ready for Inspection, and I was pleased when the high officials called upon me and through their director. general, Count Ota, expressed their grati fication and thanks for being ready on opening day. It -will be fully a month be fore all the foreign exhibits are completely arranged, and right here I wish to say mat it is an Imposition and an injustice to those exhibitors who are ready to have the dirt and turmoil of Installing exhibits going, on about them, and also an Injus tice to the visitors who have paid their fee, ever so small, to see the exhibits. "Mr. Fried Is still here, studying the exhibits." Lomberg Opera Company to tour through the principal cities of Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

She Is sing ing the role of Vloletta In "La Travlata" and Leonora In "II Trovatore," and she Is also the attraction as Marguerite in "Faust," and in "MIgnon."

"Men of many faiths bearing with them messages from the Congress of Religion which recently met at Los Angeles, Cal., will be the attraction at a series of meet ings which will be held in this city Sun day, and it is safe to say that the gath erings will be of unusual interest. Sunday morning and afternoon the meetings will be held at the Unitarian Church, and the meeting Sunday night at the Marquam Theater. The object of the Congress of Religion is: "The bringing of all nearer together In the brotherhood of love.

This year's series of meetlnss of the Congress of Religion were held March 8, 9, 10 and 11 at Los Angalcs, Cal., and one special ses sion was held at Leland Stanford, Jr., University.

It Is true that many contract colds and recover from them without taking any precaution or treatment, and a knowledge of this fact leads others to take their chances Instead of giving their colds the needed attention. It should be borne In mind that every cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality and makes the sys tem less able to withstand each succeeding cold ,and paves the way for more serious disease. Can you afford to take such desperate chances when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of colds, can be bad for a trifle? For sale by all druggists.

A diamond it was. and of a rare variety. The money was Immediately counted out and passed over. While the money was being counted, the trick was done. Davis, It seems, had two rings that looked much alike, except that the first was a diamond and the sec ond was not. When the pawnbroker's back was turned he made a hasty motion, seized the diamond ring from the counter where It lay. and left In its place the cheap one. The pawnbroker had Inspect ed the ring closely already, and not until the negro was out of the house with T125 In his pockets did he notice that the change had been made. As soon as he did he hurried to the police station and had the negro arrested. DavLi is well known about the city, and the detectives wondered where he had ob tained possession of a ring of such value as he had first show, the pawnbroker. When he was caught he had no ring, and but 520 of the J125 was left. "What did you do with the money?" he "was asked; but he only stammered a reply: "I paid debts." "To whom did you pay any money?" But the prisoner refused to answer the question. "All I want Is to get ball and see my lawyer." he said. "I am Innocent and I can prove It." Putting the many facts together the de tectives were convinced that Davis must have had an accomplice.

The officers wbo have the Interests in charge at West Point have been. Informed by those at Ancapclis that there will be no playing ! unless the military men agree to the first , ana nve years eligibility rule of Harvard and Yale. It is learned on srood authorltv that thi soldiers will not recede from their pcsitlon. They .contend that the Middles aim at having good players who were formerly college players. Among the points raised by the West Pointers are: That West Point this year is to be the pioneer in a game showing the Western and Eastern football methods opposed to each, other, as she will play the University of Chicago on November 14.

The matter will soon be voted upon by the union. probable tnat two nights of the month will be devoted! to the initiating of mem bers and the other two evenings to the regular work of the order.
