Hulseman was in the middle of three

the runner was wild and the bases were
filled. The obnoxious odors which had
prevailed were wafted Mount Hood
ward, and never in the history of any
game did a thousand fans pull harder for
a home team. Jay Andrews, with a wal
lop that was deep and sweet music,
plunked the Spalding square on the seam,
and it went to the fence in deep center.
The swipe cleaned the bases, and An

Could Not Get Needed Run.
Mind you, not a man was out and yet
oh, the shame of it In telling neither
Andy Anderson, Shaffer, Harlow nor But
ler could deliver that one badly wanted
run. Think of it! Is there a baseball
team in this wide, delightful, old world
of ours wearing a uniform and drawing
down boodly bunches of Uncle Sam's lith
ographs for playing ball that could not,
with four men at the bat, scratch out one
sneaking, measley run? Anderson, in
stead of being told to sacrifice, should
have driven the ball into the outfield.
Shaffer should have done the same thing.
Harlow saved himself a strike-out by
stopping a down shoot with his ankle.
And Butler well, he knocked the ball
Into center field after It was too late.
Just whose headpiece mapped out that
stupid inning is not known, but whoever
it was he should get 40 days at Salem
rigged out in a straltjacket and leg Irons.
Why, the rottenest- cesspool in China
town is as fragrant as violets and
roses compared with this nauseous chap
ter of the game.
Oakland started the fireworks oft In the
first Inning. Butler was without anything
In the line of speed or curves. A boy In
any sand lot in Portland could have hit
him safely. His weakness and his
errors, coupled with those by Shaf
fer and Raldy, allowed four runs.
In the second Inning even Lazy Lee,
who was destined to get his ankle
hurt "while trying to sneak to third, hit
eafely. O'Hara's sacrifice and Butler's
error allowed Lee to score. The fifth
canto developed a base on balls and An
derson's error, and the sixth run. In the
sixth, a single and a double-sacker by
Gorton shoved the seventh score over the
rubber.
Made the Fan Sntar.
In the tenth and eleventh Innings,
neither side could negotiate, but In the
12th canto, two singles and a triple placed

a free ticket to first and Haldy's
failure to stop a grass-burner gave
the visitors seven runs. Do you won
der that the fans left the grounds swear
ing like Captain Kidd, disgusted be
cause it was a cold dinner they were
going to, heart-broken because the Browns
could not drag the game from the fire
when they had such an easy chance, and
declaring that the Browns were rank ln-and-outers?
No. indeed. The only wonder
Is that they cat through the agony. The
only reason they stayed was because at
the three critical stages of the game
there was some pretty baseball. Oakland
pulled off a couple of very clever double
plays.
Hulpeman, the new right fielder, was in
the game, and. from the showing he made
both in his garden and at the bat. he
gives good promise. Raidy, too. showed
good, and the errors he made were ex
cused because he started without prac
tice, and this shortstop .must get In the
game soon, or he will kill off the welcome
he has received. He dropped a rather easy
fly that would have saved lots of heart
aches had his fingers clung to the ball.

an easy one to Brockhoff. He handled it
cleanly, but threw low to LaRocque. and
the ball bounded Into the bleachers, Hogg

GOUROCK, v May 12,-Sir Thomas Lip
ton and Designer Fife have decided that
It Is not necessary to devote further time
to trials between the Shamrocks on this
side of the Atlantic. Consequently Sat
urday's race will be the last. The two
yachts will be sent ta the Greenock yard
Monday In order to don their ocean rigs.
Racing, however, has been arranged for
every day this week.
The boat3 started at 10:30 this morning
over a course from Gourock to Rothesay
and Balloch Bay and return, 40 miles. A
light wind was blowing and fine weather,
and canvas was set on both yachts.
Shamrock I had the advantage in being
200 yards dead to windward when the
yachts started. After a couple of miles of
short tacking the Shamrocks came to
gether and the challenger had done so
well that she was able to cross the bows
of her opponent and take the lead. On
turning the Rothesay mark at the finish
of a ten-mile beat the times were:
Shamrock III. 1:03:15.

General of the Burgher forces ln the
Boer War and member for Johannesburg
ln the Transvaal Volksraad, and General
W. D. Snyman, have completed ar

I have never entered a ring feeling
more confident that I am going to win.
Of course. I am giving away weight in
this battle, but that is something which
I have done with others, and yet I
have carried away the money. I figure
I can beat Tracey. and will do so just
as quick as I can. I don't believe in
prolonging: a fight when grave chances
are to be taken. I am. younger than
Tracey. and I think this Is greatly In
my favor, not that I figure that he is
not a dangerous m&n, but because I
think youth must be served.
JOE PANS.
With this confidence displayed by both
fighters, indications point -to a great bat
tle tonight. Tracey and Gans both spent
a quiet day. Both took their jaunts on
the road and then went home and rested
for the rest of the day. In the morning
there will be another brief Journey on tho
pike, then at 6 o'clock ln the evening both
fighters, accompanied by their managersv
will go to the Portland Club to weigh
In. Gans and Tracey have been at
wlght for several-days, and, of course,
the forfeit money Is nafe. Eddy Graney,
the crack California referee, will reach
the city ln the morning, and tonight,
dressed in his usual Tuxedo and expansive
white shirt, will give Portland fight fol
lov:erj a chance to witness this master ot
fistic lore give a decision in favor of tho
winner;
The demand for tickets for the boxing
show has been so great that yesterday
afternoon a ticket scalper tried to gather
in 00 of the choice seats. Jack Day.
manager of the club, got wind of the deal
and at once headed it off. All of the boxes
have been taken, and most of tho reserved
seats, and by tomorrow night It will be
difficult to get hold of the admission
pasteboards. Last night brought ln the
first lot of outsiders. About 100 followers
of fisticuffs came from Seattle, a dozen or
more from Astoria, and from the way the
telegrams ordering seats reserved have
flooded Into the Portland Club, at least 500
others will come to Portland during the
day. The possible match between Gans
and King, of Butte, has brought quite a
delegation from that city, who come hera
In order to get a line on the. champion.
The betting on the fight still continues.
and It is estimated that already about
$2000 has been wagered on the event. Yes
terday the prevailing odds were 10 to s.
but it is safe to say that the men will en
ter the ring at even money.
An even-money bet on the fight is about
the- right thing, considering the men and
their careers. Tracey for the first time
in his career is meeting a man to whom
he has not given weight. Thl3 and hl3
cleverness and gameness ought to make
a bet on him look very good. Tracey is
not the cool-headed fighter that Gans Is,
but he is as shifty as they make them.
He has a store of ring knowledge, and
none of the tricks of the game which
Gans might spring will be new to him.
Tracey Is a fighter who likes to go fast.
and, knowing Gans to be last, he has
trained himself to the hour, and lor a
long and tough journey if needs be. At
infighting he has few equals. He is even
faster at this pivot of the game than
Gans. but when It comes to long range
work and getting out of harm's way, Joe
has slightly the edge over his white op
ponent. If ever a man was born without
nerves, that man Is Gans. When his
handlers are strung to the limit, Joe takes
it easy, and ln none of his battles has he
ever been bothered with a case 01 rat
tles." The same might be said ot Tracey
also.
A few of the wise ones have picked the
fight to go the limit, and think there Is
nothing to It but a draw. If this, is so,
then those who seethe boxing will leave
the building saying they nave . certainly
seen their money's worth. Others think
If the fight goes 15 rounds that Tracey
will win because of the weight he is al
lowed. The preliminary, a lo-round af
fair, will also" be worth seeing. Both
youngsters have met before, but the de
cision lett the question as to which Is the
better man ln doubt.

steadfast service to the country in both
peace and war. and through the wisdom
he has shown In the use of his vote, tho
negro ha a clear right to the ballot,"

Nation deserves to be damned," cried a
voice In the audience.
"It they do not they will be damned."

Georgia, assistant secretary of the Colored
Epworth League, declared" it would not
be safe to make such an address down
South, nor would it be safe .for one living
ln the South to make such aa address if
he expected to return to his home.
