Not only that, but the Browns this morning are within 12 points of tramping on Peto Lohman's neck. If thej take the game this afternoon and the Sunday matinee they will climb over the heads of the Athenians and be nine points to the good, so It behooves the 'Brown brigade to continue their swatfest at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets, and dump both of the coming engagements into their bat' bags. Loa Angeles Is taking Parke Wilson down the line, and ndt wishing Parke 4iny hard luck, let It be hoped that the Loo Loos' crew may sit on the prostrate bodies of the Slwashes until the Browns cinch their position in third place. And if we get in third place? "Well, if we get there, there will be nothing but joy in great chunks In the City of Portland, County of Multnomah, State of Oregon. It was Jake Thlelman's sore arm, the brilliant fielding of the Browns, and a "bundle of three errors by the Oaklanders, the defeat of the Slwashes by the Loo Loos, and the consistent and timely bat-r ting of the Brown brigade that lifted the locals out of the cellar. Thielman was called In to bend his collection of mys teries ovgt the plate, because Willie Hogg's head was too sore to appear on the firing line. Jake was not as full of elusive twists and swift ones as he was when he first went against the Lphman ites, yet he was there with the goods and four blocks of ozone. In the first Inning the last-year -pennant winners fell upon Jake, and for a brief time It looked as If he was about to be handed "his." The plucky twlrler kept hammering away, and In spite of three bingles, which Baxter, Murctock and Mosklman pelted Into the outfield, only one solitary run marked the official score "board. Levy's close decision at the plate, which murdered Moose Baxter as he tried for home, denied the Oaklanders run No. 2. Baxter looked all over successful, but the umpire" thought differently, and in consequence' The Moose got chy on -temper., and said things to Levy that are, not found in- W. C. T. TJ. tracts. After this bad chapter, Thielman began working for his salary, arid the. six other hits, which Included two " two baggers, were keptmost unhealthily scat tered, and the sum total only netted one additional run. Browns See Daylight for First Time. Mosklman. that -clever baseballlst, ground the grist which was the flour in the bin for the Browns. He held the nsh-wlelders of the house of Brown down to eight hits. .These were bunched- In the third and fifth innings. Aided by these nits and the hoisting right wing of Thiel man, the locals were yanked bodily out of the cellar, and for the first time since the season began the team will be playing In daylight. If the 2000 faithful who saw the game could have known that Seattle had been hurled headlong Into the cellar which the Browns have tenanted for so long, there Is no telling just what might have taken place. It's too bad that they did not, forln addition to the joy of see ing the locals take Oakland into camp, the crowd would have been elated to have learned of the elevation of the Browns. Things did not break for the Browns until their half of the third Inning. Van, Buren was the only Brownlte who could land on Mosklman's offerings. This did not count, for he was caught "Stealing second, and Nadeau popped up a foul which was gathered In by Lohman. In the second Inning a double play closed things up with a slam. Raldy failed in the opening of the third and Danny Shea, who was working because Hess was Indis posed, was presented with walking papers. Thielman came along and smashed the ball between short and third for a pretty single, sending Shea home. Hurlburt planted the Spalding to right and got to second on the play. While at that station he spread over so much territory that Lohman was tempted to throw to Baxter; which ho did, and while the big rlght fieltor was getting nipped at the switch Thielman Jogged across the plate with run. No. 2. The fourth was uneventful In spite of a long blngle by Anderson that romped past O'Hara, and on which Andy reached second. Xodcau Steals Home in Eighth. Shea was trying hard to knock the cover off the ball in the fifth chapter. He succeeded in smashing the sphere so hard that it came near unjointlng Moose Baxter at second, and Danny got bis sta tion while that badly crippled player took a. peep Into the error column. Thiel man. again lined out a blngle, and both lie and Shea were neatly sacrificed a base each by Hurlburt. Shea scored on the Deacon's blngle, and Thielman did like wise when Anderson sent the ball out of bounds. Van Buren and Anderson both stole bases, but they did not count, for Andrews lifted the ball Into the left field: One-two-three was the order of things in the sixth and seventh innings. Croll, who had been guarding second In Baxter's lay off, slipped Into Bj-Ick Devereaux'e place at short. His presence was not discovered until the eighth canto. Nadeau was first up. and he sent the ball on an exploration tour Into that territory. The research was rewarded, for the ball dis covered that Croll was of the human frlore species. The reward was a .base. Anderson liked the route that Nadeau had mapped out and he also jolted the ball at Croll. Croll thought he had it then he knew he did not, and while he wis wondering just what Pete Lohman would hand out to him at tea time, whispering Phil actually walked home. Now, this Is the story of the game that Ik ted the Browns out of the slough of dispond and discouragement. For cripples L-ihman's men fought a game battle, and bit for the umpire's decision, according to the after musing of Pete Lohman, the gane might have gone to Oakland. Pete clfes 11 18 easier &r a team to keep ahtad than it is for them to catch up. Team Rounds Into Shape. fho victory of the Browns is in keeping with the work of- the team since tiieir xetuin home this time. It is also the first time that the team actually got to gether. When the season opened it was.. Andy Anderson whose sickness kept him out ol the game. Then just as he was ready to play Kid Schmeer's knee went to the bad, and the infield that had prom ised so well was torn to shreds and it wasj because of this that the Browns were sent Into the basement with a rush. Anderson was a long time jounding into shape, but he is playing a very brilliant game now, both at the bat and at bis station in the infield. Schmeer Is still out of the game, and it may be another month before he is. in shape to .play his best. Harlow was a dead weight that had to be carried. VIgneux was battered and smashed up until he had to quit Shaffer was a gold brick. Hulseman, an other bit of phoney bric-a-brac. Single, the human jellyfish, was -happy on his honeymoon at the expense of the club, and there were others who promised to come and play first base and the right field, but they came not. These and many other things, which will be told some day, are the reasons why the Browns were tall enders so long. The team these days is playing with each man at his regular station. The pitching corps has been greatly strengthened by Hogg and Thiel man. First base has a man who is ac quitting himself like a baseball player, and Hurlburt is taking care of right field. Hess and Shea are all that Is needed be hind, the bat, and Raldy "will do, at short. Andrews is doing his work well, even If he has for a time lost his batting eye. Nothing need be said about the brilliant hitting and fielding of Nadeau and Van Buren. The score: PORTLAND. TT AiB. R. H. PO. A.B.

RELIANCE IS BEATEN Constitution Wins Yacht Race in Fickle Wind, RUSHES UP AT THE FINISH Three Cnp-Defendcrs Contest in First Craise of Jfevr York Yacht Club Time Allowance Gives Constitu tion Victory by Small Margin. NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 17. The latest aspirants for cup-defending honors, the Reliance, was defeated today by the Constitution in the initial run of the New York Yacht Club cruise, from Glen PITCHER JOHN THIELMAN. for ' HPrqH B kit -"' SHk" JH WHOSE CLEVER TWIRLING LIFTED THE BROWSS OUT-OF THE CELLAR." Cove to this port The new boat led al most from the start and was In her usual position at the finish, but the Belmont boat after being at one time more than a mile astern, came up with a rush at the close and was only 59 seconds behind her rival at the line. As the Reliance allows the Constitution two minutes and 17 seconds in 37 miles, the length of the run, . the latter won by one minute and 18 seconds. The time allowance, while un official, is believed to be within- two or three seconds, of the correct time. All the fleet, with the exception of the racing nineties, were off by U:15 and, 15 minutes were allowed the cup yachts in which to maneuver. The three boats went over the line on the starboard tack with ballooners set During the first ten minutes the Re liance and Contsitution pulled by the Columbia very rapidly, but 15 minutes later the wind fell almost fiat In the drift the Reliance again showed her splendid powers in light fanning airs and at 12:15 was half a mile ahead of the Constitution and a quarter of a mile ahead of the Columbia, the latter hav ing pulled up a bit During the next hour there was a fine tuss'el between the Reliance and. the Columbia, and at one time the latter suceeded In getting out ahead to the extent of about a quarter of a mile, while the Constitution drop ped back until she was more than a mile astern of the Reliance. At 2 o'clock the Reliance had succeeded In pulling by the Columbia and 20 miles from the start the Constitution also went by the old cup-defender to leeward. Ten miles from the finish the Columbia was leading the Constitution by nearly three-quarters of a mile. The breeze proved fickle, however, and, when It dropped. It left the Reliance first so that the. Constitution was able to draw up to her but could not quite catch her. Then the breeze sprang up again and once more the Rclianco pulled away, only to be left a few minutes af terward almost flapping sails. When the wind hauled back Into the south, the ballooners were set for a broad reach of about five miles from the finish. As the breeze strengthened astern, the Constitution gained rapidly on the Re liance. Two miles from the finish she was only a quarter of a mile astern and a mile away from the line she had cut down the Reliance's lead to two or three hundred yards. The new boat broke out her spinnaker quickly In the hope of pull ing away, but the Constitution followed suit and was almost blanketing the Re liance as they neared the finish line. While the Reliance managed to cross the lead, the Belmont boat was one sec ond less than a 'minute astern, both boats flying across the line under a great press of sails. The Columbia, In the meantime, had been dropping quite rapidly astern and was more than a mile away. The official times in the 90-footer class was: Boat . Start Finish. Elapsed.

Sir Thomas Upton's new cup-hunter was in her finest sailing trim today, mani fested by showing her clean heels to Shamrock I from start to finish over a 30-mile course and winning by 11 min utes 44 seconds elapsed time a decisive victory. Twice the captain of Shamrock I got the best of It in a shift of wind after the challenger hadr established a big lead. Only the challenger's superior heels enabled her to regain her advantage. The upshot of It was that the Shamrock III beat Shamrock I by 7 minutes 38 seconds beating to windward and 4 minutes 6 sec onds running home. The Judgment of Will Fife, the design er, who Is conducting this tunlng-up pro cess, was manifested in the altered trim of the challenger. The course was a 15 mlle beat to windward due south and a run carrying spinnakers back to Sandy Hook, lightship. The wind freshened from three knots at the start to ten at the turn and dropped to five at the finish.

The magnates of the Pacific Cbast and Pacific National Leagues have so far come to no definite settlement of their differences, but it is possible that peaco may come later through their meeting. The men were the guests of President Hart yesterday In an automobilo ride all about the city, and last night President Harris, of the San Francisco Pacific Coast League club, was In-conference with Secretary Farrell,. of tho National Association of Minor Leagues. This conference was continued Informally today, but so far as an nounced, no definite terms of peace wero xleclded 'upon.- Mr. Harris left- tonight and none of the magnates would admit any definite result of the conference. President Hart of the local National League chab, at whose suggestion Messrs.' Harris and Farrell came to Chicago, to night said that the chances for Immediate peace were small. "Playing the" role of peacemaker," said President Hart, "is no easy matter, and I am afraid that the time Is not yet ripe for these people to get together. It may be that It will be necessary for. the fight to be continued until one side Is so de cisively rbeate'n that It will admit it "before any settlement' can be made.
