LOSE ONCE MORE Browns Take-Field in Crip pled Condition. - OAKLAND BEATS THEM BY 4 TO 2 Hulseman, the Xevr RIghtflelder, Could Not Be Fonnd-Tan Bnren Does Excellent Work on Initial Bag, Accepting IS Chances.

"When It came time for practice. Manager Vlgncux counted his pen and found Hulseman missing. Scouts and fleet-footed runners were sent out, but the absent new rlghtfielder could not be located. The mess was a bad one, -but Deacon Van Buren, that all-round good player was brought In from the Renter garden and placed in the position vacated by Shaffer. Slagle was sent Into the middle field and Carlo Smith, who departed last night for Parke Wilson's fold, played In right field. It was In this shattered condition that Handsome George Engle faced Pete Loh man'e hard-hlUing. red-hosed aggrega tion. Engle had one bad inning, the fifth. He was touched up for throe hits and gave a free ticket to. first, and this coupled with Raldy's error and Harlow's high throw which traveled half way into center field, gave the Oaklanders four runs. After this inning George settled down and not a red leg got past second base. Graham, on the other hand, was pounded for one, two and three hits in every inning save two, but even with this tremendous batting, totaling 12 singles, the locals could not get more than two men over the rubber. The game through out was .filled with good playing and the fielding of the Browns was at all times brilliant and fast. During the nlno innings three fast and well executed double plays were carded. The Browns touched off this brand of fireworks in the third chapter. Graham had hit to right safely. O'Hara in at tempting to sacrifice him to second, popped a high one that Engle pulled down and like a stroke of lightning relayed to Van Buren. The throw was too quick for Graham and he was nipped about a foot off the sack while trying to get back to safety. Oakland was not to be outdone, for they-pulled off a dbuble in the same canto, just when the Browns looked all over like a lot of baseballlsts who were going to tie the score. Nadeau, Slagle and Jay Andrewe bad hit safely to various quarters of the garden, and three anxiously waiting Browns were dancing a mad minuet on the cushions. No ono wastjut and twice previously the locals had got a man within striking dis tance. And as in Tuesday's game. Andy &nderson was called upon to do or die. He died. "When he died he killed "Whisper ing Phil Nadeau, who tried to beat his hit to Devereau. The Oakland third baseman made a sensational running catch of the hit and whipped It to Gorton, who nipped Nadeau Just as he ploughed up the soil at the rubber. Then Gorton relayed the ball to Brashear and Andy was caught off firet by a city block. The play was fast and clean, and It denied the Browns at least two runs. The second double for the Browns came in the sixth inning. Kruger had hit and had reached second. Van Buren made a brilliant catch of Johnson's foul. Then came Graham, who is hitting like a pile driver, and he drove a long fly into left field. Nadeau was under it and Kruger, who had got out of bounds at second. was thrown out by the fast leftfielder to Anderson. The play was without doubt one of the fastest outfield doubles ever seen on the local diamond. Threo hits and an error by Baxton gave the Browns their first run In the sixth inning. Anderson smashed one to Bax ton, who allowed him to get second. Smith, as a parting compliment to the management who had released him. wal loped out a neat and clean single. Harlow failed to do anything for hie country and was an easy out from second to first. Engle was yet to be heard from and when he was, the scorers had the delightful pleasure of marking up a great big hit to his credit and also of giving Anderson a scoring mark. This bit of playing startled the crowd and they sat up and began to take notice. In the seventh canto Nadeau drew a free ticket and made a successful theft of second Gra ham's fumble of Slagle's drive allowed Nadeau to reach third by a narrow margin and a pretty slide. Andrew's hit scored Nadeau. Jay pilfered second, but An derson's fly was gathered in by Kruger and Smith -was ozoned. Here ended the run getting. Van Buren's work at first was a decided improvement over that of Shaffer. Eighteen chances came his way and he accepted them all in masterly style. The tall outfielder would make a brilliant first guardian, for in addition to being able to cover a great deal of territory and having a good throwing arm. he ranks among the surest hitters on the team. If a. man could be found who -was his equal In the center field, it would be a good Idea to play him in this position all the time, in case Bussey, the new first base man does not materialize. "While Raldy made a couple of bad throws, his work was very fast and undoubtedly just as soon as he gets over his soreness he will FJ "ant same- The 1,tUe llow in addition to being handicapped by stiff ness is having a battle with the climate. Anderson and Andrews also played in rfect form, and between them they did VurfZV PooaUr good work. Smith c?tch of o.5erCt,da and hls one-hand ?

After Today the Terrible Threat of President Sexton Goes Into Effect. When 12 o'clock Is tolled off tonight the edict sent out by a "gent" known to base ball as Sexton, will become effective, and all balltossers drawing salaries from the teams in the Pacific Coast League .will bo plastered with a $500 fine and black listed. Just what the effect upon the Pacific Coast players will be remains to. be seen, but from all indications this threat by Mr. Hot Air Sexton will not frighten many of the players. His threat of blacklisting made some thing over a month ago, did have the effect of frightening a few of the more timid ones, but for the most part the threat counts for nothing. Baseball play ers are not the lot of dummies that Lucas, Sexton and a few others of their ilk think them to be. In the first place every baseball plajer knows Sexton to be a four-flusher of tho rankest order. They have weighed him and found him a zero looking figure to count for some thing, and they pass up his foolish ukase as they would an pffer to become Sunday school teachers. There are a few of the putty kind of baseballlsts who looked up on this man Sexton and Mb 40 buckets of lampblack as being a mental moon calf and hlppogrlff combined. He is all this, but he is also as impotent as a snail and with as much power when It comes to settling the future of a base ball player's career, as puling Infants In the operation of the affairs of the Nation. It Portland last night It was .rumored that Fred Hulseman, the newly signed rlghtfielder, had Jumped to his old man ager at Spokane. He was not in the game and at first it was given out that he had "been taken suddenly III. Manager VIgneux called at his hotel after the game and learned from the landlady that Hulseman had told her that he had re ceived a telegram from his wife and that Mrs. Hulseman, while en route to Portland, had been taken ill on the train and that he had hurried to join her. Manager VIgneux found Hulseman's clothing and trunks at his room and he does not be lieve that his now man has Jumped. Hulseman is a queer- duck and as non communicative as Wordsworth's little maiden. He never talks about his af fairs, does as he pleases without asking consent, but in spite of all this he Is said to bo a man- of his word. If it Is true that he has jumped to Spokane, the Browns have lost a very valuable man and one whose position will be hard to fill. He is a clever fielder and a mighty good man with the timber. His work on his appearance here gave splendid prom ise and he would have soon become a very popular player. Smith's deoarture from the Browns xcui be genuinely regretted- His. slump In Pfielding 'cams' at "a-'critical -'tlnre? but'at mai no was extremely popular with the fans because of his good stick work. He is a natural hitter and not a slugger. Personally ho was a splendid fellow and was well liked by the members of the team. He left last night for Seattle to Join Parke Wilson's team and It will not bexsurprlsing to see him clout the Brown pitcher all over the lot when he returns to this city. Smith could have joined Charley Reilly's Los Angeles team and could have received a salary of $300 a month. He could also have returned to the South at a higher salary than he was receiving as a Brown. When Smith was released the management did not dream that Hulseman would be out of the game for even a day or they would not have been in a hurry to let him go. In speaking of Smith's release Sammy VIgneux said: "Smith was released to Parke Wilson be cause Hulseman was .signed and there was no. place for him oh the pitching staff. He Is a good player and I would have kept him here if there had been a place for him on the team. We still have a claim on him and he Is held in reserve for us this Fall in case we wish to sign him." President Marshall also had many nice things to say of Smith. The player who will most miss Smith will be Charley Shields. They were roommates and in separable companions. AMERICAN LEAGUE.

The 'varsity, athletes are rounding into form for their meet with Albany 'College oh Saturday, and. while It is not likely that any collegiate or state records will be broken, competi tion promises to be keen. The university team is stronger than last season, and will be represented by several -good men In each event The athletes realize that Albany College, will send & crack, team to this city, and that victory "will come only after the -most strenuous efforts. The local collegians are not -overconfident of winning the meet although the more san guine ones are figuring out a victory by a small margin of points. Most of the records made by the Oregon men in their local tryouts were better than those made at Albany, but Oregon's local field day-was held one week later "than was Albany's, so It is safe to say that the teams are very evenly matched. Trainer Kay Is working fcard- with his men. and most of them will be In good condition for the meet. Enthusiasm amonff the collegians Is running, highland if the weather Is good a spirited contest will' be held. A large number of Albany rooters will attend the meet AFTERMATH OF THE FIGHT TRACEY SUFFERING . FROM THE BEATING HE RECEIVED. Jee Walcett Pests 50O for His Matca With. "Mysterleas Billy" Smith Graney Gees Heme. Yesterday was settling day with the boxers who took part in Wednesday night's contest Tracey, who was so de cisively beaten by Joe Gans, did not leave his home. His head and jaw, which had stopped so many of Joe's- hooks and jabs, pained him considerably, and he left the money-settling with his partner, Martin Denny. His share of the purse was some thing like JflOQO, while the winner's end that went to Gans came near the J2000 mark. Dick Memsic also got a goodly bit of the coin. From all points the contest was the most satisfactory ever pulled oft in the city. There was a splendid and orderly 'crowd present and great credit is due Jack Day and Manager JackTGrant for the clever way in which the arrangements were car ried out Portland's fight crowds are odds on better than those which attend boxing contests held in other cities. For the most part they are better informed on the game and are impartial In their cheers and en couragement to the boxers. Rellly, in his fight with Memsic. violated a mutual agreement about Jutting in the clinches, but he fought a battle along the. lines of the straight Marquis, of Queensberry rules, In which hitting- in the clinches while one hand is free is allowable. Memsic could have taken the same advantage if he' had wished to. The little Chlcagoan-preferred to stick to his compact In the second round he injured his thumb and was un able to use his left hand to any advan tage Another thing which distressed him greatly was a nail in his shqe. Rellly was willing, to wait until the nail could be re. moved, but Dick refused to give him that much rest The next big fight on the carpet is that between "Mysterious Billy" Smith and Joe Walcott The management of the Pastime Club yesterday received a certified check for 5500 from Pierce, Walcott's man ager, as a forfeit Smith will cover the forfeit today, and both checks will be placed with the sporting editor of the Evenlng-Telegram. Lou Wagnr, manager of the Columbia Athletic Club, under whose auspices the fight will be held, will see that Smith's money is deposited early today. This fight promises to be equal to any that has been pulled off in the city. Both men are noted for their aggressive ness, and they are old ring enemies. Wal cott left Boston Wednesday night for Portland, and will arrive some time next week. Smith has been working slowly for the coming battle, and is in splendid shape. In addition to the Smith-Walcott fight "Pittsburg Jack" O'Brien will battle for 15 rounds with Fred Mueller, who was Tracey'a trainer. This fight will .also be worth seeing. Eddie Graney and his wife,. who,, accom panied him "to Portland, returned to San Francisco last night Graney was delighted with his treatment while in the city. Quito a large delegation of his friends were at, the station to bid- him good-bye. The Pas time Club management loaded- Mrs. Gra ney's stateroom with flowers, and she was delightfully surprised when she eptered the car. . Joe Gans will leave Portland tonight for San Francisco, where he goes to train for his fight with, Willie Fitzgerald Al Her ford and Young Peter Jackson, who is to fight Rellly In Seattle; will remain In 'tha city until Monday, whert Herford will take his charge to Seattle to finish training.

In tho press report of the recent court ruling- relative tq the . application for charter by the Christian Science Church of Philadelphia, published In The Orego nian on May 5, the following quotation appears, viz: It would be Injurious to the community to in corporate a group of citizens who would preach the doctrine that there Is no such thins as con tagious disease or any disease. As this statement expresses a very mis taken conception of Christian Science and its Influence on mankind, I beg space for a word or two upon the subject To those in the least familiar with the lives ot Christian Scientists, or the doc trine to which they adhere. It Is evident that this apprehensive assertion is unwar ranted and unsustained by facts, and while Christian Science contends persist ency for the naturalness and reality of health and righteousness, and .the conse quent unnaturalness of opposite condi tions, it does not teach that in human ex perience "there Is no such thing bs dis ease." On the contrary, the very mission of Christian Science, bringing hope and healthv to; mortal?, shows' reca4tIon." of this unfortunate "condition Of affairs and provides man with a practical means of release therefrom. The Christian Scient ist's position on the subject ot disease la well stated In the following paragraph from the textbook, "Science and Health," by Mrs. Eddy: Sickness Is neither Imaginary nor unreal that la to the frightened, false sense of tha patient. It Is more than fancy, for It Is solid, conviction. It Is, therefore, to be dealt with through right apprehension of the truth of be tas. While Christian Scientists, because. eC the blessings of health and happiness Ja their lives, have every reason to implicit ly trust their welfare under all conditions to the protecting care of the "Most High." as is perpetually promised mankind In the 91st Fsalzrv in their desire to show their respect for the rights of their fel lowmen they are found rather more than usually observant of the health regula tions of their communities. That they are cheerfully and literally obedient to legal enactments relative to contagion, quar antine, etc., is attested by their actions in every community, and as an evidence of this the following testimony of Dr. Ern est Lederie. president of the Health De partment of New York, given In a recent Interview In the New York Press, Is prac tical and to the point Dr. Lederie said: I hxve. been Informed there are upwards .of 60,000 of. tho fraternity In this county, and since I have been at the head o the Health Department I have received no proof of a vio lation of any of the rules of tha sanitary code by a Christian Scientist' I know they are re porting their cases as required by law and ara talcing the necessary precautions of proper Iso lation and disinfection. Violations are prompt ly prosecuted, but 1 have yet to nnd an In stance where th lawbreaker was a. Christian Scientist. I ara not making a, defense ot Chris tian Science, but as long as they conform to the rules of the department they are no- worse than any other citizen. Christian Science churches are Incor porated throughout the United States, and this simple legal recognition has certainly not shown Itself "injurious to the com munity" In any section, but rather bene ficial. The Christian Science churches are showing substantial growth in the State of Pennsylvania, as well as elsewhere, and while a charter from the state would prove a convenience in the matter of property rights, the recent ruling In no way restricts the work or hinders tha usefulness and growth of the church.
