But who cared (or all this? 3C6t. the fan, not the small boy, and not tons Jn ten who sat through that 24 hours ic that heart disease producing game at national park yesterday afternoon. And Bt ytas baseball that they saw. Baseball fhit will echo down the roadway of time wae una or bail that old Mr. Hasbeen you by the lapel of the coat and a TOU about that took place In that u remote lone ago. The kind of base ball that the players who took part In the ask will, when the hoar frost of age has whitened their locks, tell to aspiring pvuths. Tea. and it was a pitchers' battle, too. jOsfi that the flaxen-haired Quick; and jHmmond, he of the south-wing and .name that so ends' like repeating- profanity, will remember for many days to come. 'What ft. mixture they had. Inshoots, outshoots. fast ones, slow ones, wide ones and high Bnes, never sending over that coveted home rubber any two alike to the same batter. There were one or two sure bat ters On each team, there might have been tnore, but the mixture concocted and sent put from the delivery station in the cen ter of the diamond, was miles beyond their Solving. That's why the game went five txtra "chapters. Not only did Quick and Dammond pitch ball with a triple-plate lilt-edge, but they were called upon to do the major part of the fielding. And while Dammond pitched his team to victor', and did more than a pitcher's share of fielding, had it not been for splendid team Work behind him, there would have been tnore Joy In Jack Grtm's heart last night. Each pitcher is credited with Ave assists. And at least half of those stops that re tired the runner at the first way station were so hot from the bat that they fairly smoked. Klopf Does Good Work. Captain Klopf and Hendricks and Kane, and, in fact, the other members of tho team, were the crew that, with sure hands and batting eyes, captured the opening game of the Pacific National Leaguo In Portland. The chief members ot this pi ratical crew from Washington State who scuttled the ship of hope of the Green gages, were Klopf, Kane and Hendricks. Klopf took a balloon ascension and pulled down Quick's drive that ought to have been good for two bags. Two men were on bases when the stop was made. An derson Jolted the first ball pitched in open ing the inning for a. single, and Painter, who had been coaxed into ozonlng wide ones, hit too short and was thrown out at first. Dalrymple singled and advanced Anderson to the third cushion. Things were all ready for the run. and so sure was Dalrymple that Quick's drive was good that he got so far away that he was doubled out before he could even try to make the return Journey to first. Sensational Play In Ninth. This all' took place in the ninth inning, when it looked as if nothing short of a miracle could keep the Nationals from the 'scoring column. The miracle was there, all right. It was in the shape of the Up ot Klopfa glove. That part of the play er's equipment arrested the flight of the ball. It bounded high Into the air, then 'With a tired and careless air. It settled Into the shortstop's glove. Down dropped his throwing arm. It described a half circle and then the sphere took flight again, but this time into the hand of El sey at first, and Anderson was waved to the bench. Hendricks next shared honors with Klopf. That little lettflelder has the speed of Hermls beaten to the plough. He played all over that left garden like the shadow cast from & looking glass in the hands of a boy. Six uncertain and diffi cult files Invaded his domain, and alt were gathered in such & masterly way as will ever stamp him a fielder par excellence. If he keeps up his good work, he will be the ranking leftflelder in the League. He Is also there with the willow. He hit Quick for three singles, and came within an ace of beating out a sacrifice hit. Kane "Was n Bad Dream. Kane don't forget to " remember the name. No player among the Nationals will forget him. They would like to, but the bad dream won't down. It was this snappy little player who In the chill of the evening, after the sun had disappeared behind the lowering skies in the west, checked the Sight ot two hot grounders that looked as If they were traveling on a clear schedule for the outfield. Stops! Well, some other word In the King's Eng lish win have to be coined before they can fully describe the act. This lad, with his right hand extended, strewed himself all over the ground. "Flap!" went the ball against the glove, and scramble went the player. These two drives resulted in hits, but the waiting mas was glued to the base. Mind you. this all happened after the Nationals had tied the score in the 13th Inning. One sneaking hit would have done the trick, bat Kane was in the way. Spokane's win ning -score was -delivered by Klopf In the 14th inning. He galloped over the plate on Elseys single. It was EIseys double sacker thai started the score-getting for the visitors. Klopf singled and stole sec ond, bet would have been out if the bag had remained staked to the ground. Then on the two-bagger he scored. While sH this waa going on the Na tionals were not stllL JCot on the snowy capped tips of Mount Hood. They were playing .ball, and playing the game of their lives at that. That they did not win does not disgrace them. They came with in one of making as many hits as tneir opponents, but tbey were not so lucky in placing them. Only .one error marred their playing. That was- taxed to Painter. This was his first game with the team, he having only reached Portland on Mon day night. The other members of the team behaved splendidly. There were no dumb plays. Some there will be who will be disposed to censure Catcher Anderson for throwing to. second while .Elsey was at third, but the play was a correct one. Two men were out, and there was an equal chance of catching Kant as be waa pilfering second and of having the ball returned to the catcher In time to tag Elsey at the home plate. As It was, the play failed and the run came In. It was simply the lack of the game, and not bad head work. Again, when It is taken into consideration that this la only the third game is which the Nationals have taken part, all thins point to the' fact Ujat the team will do. He Failed is Hit the Ball. "Tacks" Parrott, he ot the baaeballUt mustache, tailed in his promise. While the parade was In waiting he Informed and demonstrated with his huge bat how he was going to knock the block off the ball for several home runs. The best he could do with the mixed assortment that Dammond had up "his sleeve was a single in the 13th canto during the tired spell that overcame the Spokane southpaw. Donahue, at short, showed In better form yesterday. He is handy with the stick, and did some very clever stunts In field ing. Nine chances came his way. All were accepted and all were fielded In a clean and neat miner. He ' hit safely three times, was oxoned twice and as sisted In three put-outs. Delsel Is an other National that is slated to make his mark. Pour drives came in his territory, and all were traveling a la fast mall, bat he stopped tbem and whipped them over to "Slats" Davis for outs. His bat also found lodgment against one of Dim mond's slants that was neatly placed for a single. About Catcher Anderson. Xet's devote a paragraph to Catcher Anderson. He acts and works like the celebrated Robinson ot blg-mltt fame not the bunco mitt. Pitcher Quick kept him working like a dock-walloper. Fif teen men went Into retirement via the Anderson route, and he assisted In dis posing of 'three others. To crown this good work he made three spanking hits. Captain Davis' work ss first guardian, too, waa a display of clever ballplaying, and eo was the work of Dalrymple in center field. The parade was pulled oft a few min utes late ot the schedule, but they rode In tally-hos and In carriages. Just as Qrlm bad promised them they would. There was also a band of music and the two teams. Spokane in blue and white and the Nationals In green real green and red, and then followed he club officials in the carriages. The band made music, the horses pranced and tSe banners fluttered In the breeze, and the march through the streets and to the .grounds was made. The crowd was all -that could be expected for a week-day jgame: It. would have been better," perhaps, .bad not the day been so threatening ana raw. The wind that swept across the grounds and through the grandstand came right off the snow. It was so cold that the wonder Is that the pitchers were able to work as they did. PORTLAND. AB. R. H. PO.A.

Outsails Shamrock I la Another Trial, Unf Is Held In to Conceal Possible Speed. WETMOUTH, England. April 14. A race of 16 miles to leeward from off Weymouth and a beat back was laid out for the Shamrocks today. When the boats got outside the shelter of the breakwater, the wind came in hard gusts, and the yachts seemed to have all they could stand un der, and required an occasional luff to ease them. The strain found a weak spot In the Shamrock Ill's peak, halyard gear. A man was sent aloft, and on bis report the yacht fetched Into sheltered water and .anchored. Ail her sail was then dropped on deck. The Shamrock I also anchored and dropped her head sails. The wind subsequently softened, and the boats were sent off on a trial spin to leeward and return. Shamrock I led by a length, but the new boat In a few minutes closed the gap and ran clear ahead. It was shortly after 1 o'clockrwhen the boats started. During "the first five miles In. action. Sooth Pavr, Dammond, ot Spokane, foollntr "Tacks" s Parrott Tilth an in-ahoot. . . . t . . . the challenger -outran the older bjgt a couple of minutes and about the same gap was maintained; to" the first, turn, where the timings were''' Shamrock. Ill, 2t3; Shamrock I. 2:25:25. Astthe yachts went about for the beat home they met .a bigger sea than . the challenger had ever faced. She took It smoothly and welh and a couple of short tacks sufficed to convince those on board that she could easily outsail Shamrock I under these conditions. The nsw boat bore away and ran back for a fresh start. She came about close on the weather beam of the Shamrock I and they started together on. the windward beat. Neither wind nor sea seemed to trouble the challenger. She sailed fast and high In, the' wind, making about a quarter ot a mile dead to windward in 20 minutes' sailing. Having .demonstrated (he challenger's superiority In both pointing and sailing. Captain Wrlnge, for some unknown rea son, followed the same tactics as were pursued during the latter half of the lee ward run and refrained from pushing his victory home. The challenger was sailed off and on the wind In the most barefaced fashion, beating away at times until the wind was almost abeam, and luffing at others until her headsalls quivered. She probably lost, a couple of minutes in this way, and even then the challenger scored handsomely, heating the'Sbamrock 1 over six minutes In an hour's windward work. The finishing times were: Shamrock III, 353:; Shamrock I, 353:42. IRA9 IS A SURPRISE. Pnts Favorite's Nose Oat.ot Joint at Oakland.

FlCht "With Trncey Will Sorely-Be on the Sqnare. Joo Gans, the colored fighter who has swelled the bank, account of one Al Her ford, of Baltimore, will leave for Portland tomorrow. The black light-weight cham pion will come direct to Portland, and will go Into active training for his bat tle with Tommy Tracey. Gans Is one of the trickiest boxers in the business today. But both he and his master are coming to a city where things cannot be fixed, and for once this black man must fight on the level. There will bo no Jobbing things with Tracey, nor will there be any chance for Gans to "see" the Pastime Club, managers. In Tracey Gans will meet the toughest and fastest man he has faced In his career, and If he bests the local white man he will have to do It on his merits. Tracey Is work ing hard for the coming battle, and on the night of the contest he will bo at weights and bo in the pink of condition. It is true that Gans is giving weights to Tracey, but this colored exponent of the boxing art lk gaining weight with age. and be wilt be stronger fighting at 140 than he would be at 133 pounds, the light weight limit. Another good boxing card Is scheduled for April 23. On that evening Young Cor bett, late victor over Just plain Terry -McGovern. at present an actor with a big A. will attempt to stop Kid Fltzpat rick in four'rounds. The Pastime man agement will also arrange for a couple of preliminaries that will give tha crowd a chance to see about 25 rounds of good fighting. In attempting to stop little Fltzpatrlck In four rounds Corbett will have no, easy picking. The Chlcagoan is no world-beater when it comca to science. but he Is game to the core, and has a wallop that stings a few when It lands. While he is fitting himself for the bat tle with Corbett he wants to pay consid erable attention to blocking and keeping well covered at all stages of the Journey. If he. does not he will stop one of the champion's swings that will put him out of commission In Jig time. The other boxers slated for the? coming show have hot all been selected.

April 14W8peclaU The Portland team ot the Pacific Coast League lost to Oakland today In the first game of the series. Portland played in unaccountably bid luck. Not only .did the luckless Web footers throw away a possible victory by crowding their only mlaplays into one inning, but they hit In a way that would drive any manager off the water wagon. Seldom does a team meet the sphere as hard as they did with such poor results. They smashed the ball In every conceiv able direction, only to. have It go right at a waiting fielder. It simply would not go safe. BIU Devereaux. captain of Oakland, broke the long Lenten fast of his team. For 4S innings his tetm had.-' hungered for runs. It was up to Bill and he met the situation by getting hit lh the leg by the ball. ' On a hit and run' signal he went to second. Anderson dropped a perfect throw. On the next ball. Dev ereux made a wild rush for third, and again the fates and a high.. throw saved him. Another hit and. run signal was given, and- Devereaux started for home. The man at the bat missed and Dever eaux, caught midway, finally chanced It for home. His' luck was with him. A moment after, Flllman. who had been following Devereaux around, scored. Fielding ot the thinking-sort kept Deve reaux away from the plate again In the eighth, after he had a ripping single turned into a triple by the aid ot a provi dential pebble, in left. No one was out at the time,' and a, run seemed certain, but Devereaux was held at third, while three men were put out. Score:' PORTLAND. AB. R. H. SB.PO. A. E.

SACRAMENTO, CaL, April It. The con test between Sacramento and Seattle to day resulted in 11 Innings ot the fastest kind ot ball played within a few minutes ot two hours. Schock and Thomas, the opposing twirl era, gave very little to choose from in their work, and the play of their fields left nothing to ask for, be ing brilliant at all points. The pace was too fast for Umpire Levy, however, and his mlsjudgment was the only thing to mar the game. Score: R.H.E.
