t THE MOBNTNG OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1903. SEATTLE MAKES A JUMP OASOOAKD JS HUSTLED OUT OF SJlcjne Flsber'ji Senators Plar tne Brovrns This Week-Cland Schmeer Is Released. Parke "Wilson took Pete Xohman into camp yesterday, and by doing so 'jumps into fourth place, leading the Athenians by lour points and the Browns by 11 While the teams are in the second divi sion, it must not be lost sight of that the race between these three teams is very close. For one brief and enjoyable few hours the Browns crawled, over, the back of the Siwashes, but the Indians would not be denied, and when Los Angeles came to their town they proceeded to take the Loo Loos into camp, Just as did the Browns. Lohman, of course, will not lose the series to the Siwashes; not if Pete can help himself. And if Portland can keep the Senators from duplicating their former victorious visit here, they win sianu a show of getting out of the cellar. All the talk about that $1000 fine and the blacklistlne which the Pacific National League threatened to inflict on all play ers in the Pacific Coast League after May 15 seems to have been Just what The Oregonian predicted it was at the time froth for Hannlvan and Ziegler, two for- mpr nlavers on Parke Wilson s team, have found berths with Pacific National League teams. Hannlvan is playing with Tacoma, and Ziegler is with Helena. This does not speak well for that "nomDie" punlshment which the National people were going to hand out to all players who dared to play in the Coast League. Kostal and Engle have found jobs with the Roseburg team, and both have won games. Mlaue Fisher's Senators, tired, but ready to continue their struggles for first place In the Pacific Coast League pennant race, will engage the Browns in a series of sir games this week, and baseball equally as fast as, that furnished during the Los Angeles series Is sure to follow. Fisher's "Tads" will arrive this morning, with the exception of Doyle, who made a mistake when he Joined issues with the ground-keeper at San Francisco. Doyle -will be with the team, but, if stor les from the Bay City are true, he will bo out of the game for several weeks. He Injured his hand trying to knock the grouna-Keepers neaa oil The Brown management again brought the pruning-knlfe into use, and this time It was Claud Schmeer who was presented with his release. Schmeer's knee went back on him during the first Los Angeles series, and since then he hasnotbeen able to get back into the game. Schmeer, when he Is Jit himself, Is one of the best short stops in the business, and but for the mis forttmo to his knee, he would have been the ranking shortstop of the league. Schmeer tried hard to get into condition. but the Injury was such that only time could cure it. Some timo ago, when he found that it would be many weeks, per haps a couple of months, before he could nlay. he requested the management to give him a month's rest without salary, and then at the expiration of a month. if he could not play, he was to be re leased at his own request. Schmeer went into the game on Saturday. His heart was all right, but his knee was still too weak to stand the strain of fast foot work, and he gave up trying to play. The injury, which started from a sprain. has threatened to develop Into "water on the knee," and, in spite of care, has no "yielded to treatment. Schmeer's home is in Portland, and he will perhaps go into business for himself. He has had several offers to Join teams flaying- in the near ly towns, but he will first devote his time to resting his knee. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE. Yesterday Score, Seattle, 5; Oakland, 2.

On. Equal Terms In Strong: Breeze, She Excels Her Rival by One Mlnnte and a Half. NEWPORT. R. L, July 20. The Consti tution Is rapidly becoming a dangerous rival of the Reliance for the honor of de fending the trophy, for the older boat defeated the new one In today's run of 37 miles by 1 minute 29 seconds, availing herself of her time allowance, estimated at about 2 minutes and -17 seconds. This is the second time on the present cruise that the Constitution has won from her rival on time allowance, and while the victory of the first occasion from Glen- t Harry Blake, the Xcw Out fielder of the Brovrns. covo to ew naven was aue in some measure to changeable breezese, the con ditions today were as fair for one as for the other. The two yachts sailed on practically even terms for nearly ten miles along tho Southern Rhode Island shore, with sheets well flattened, and it was not until half the course "had been covered that the Re llance was out from under the Constitu tion and safely in the lead. The Columbia sailed a lonesome race, dropping from the start and finishing more than ten min utes behind the Reliance. The run today was made in good time In a strong breeze from tho southeast The achts sailed almost the entire distance from the Race rock to Point Judith, sharp on the starboard tack, and the last seven miles to tho finish on a broad reach. Tomorrow the fleet will continue the cruise to Vineyard Haven. The time of the 90-footers follows: Elapsed Boats. Start Finish. Time.

The majority of the largo number of persons wno went nsmng ior oass on Sunday did not find it a very favorable day. Many say they did not get a blto from a fish, but plenty from mosquitoes The fortunate ones are entitled to first place. Frank N. Scott a youngster who lives near Columbia Slough, below tne Vancouver railway, caught 18, mostly of fair size, but It Is said that by much practice he has acquired some ways of luring and catching bas3 which are hot generally known. Dr. E. Dow. Connell went down to Guild's Lake, and between 10 A. M. and 4 P..M. caught 15 bass, us ing fish worms for bait Beal brothers made aflne catch of bass at their game preserve, bagging 42 in all, quite a num ber of them weighing four to five pounds. One whose religious proclivities pre vent him from fishing on Sunday took a trip out to the slough on that day to see how many fishermen were there and what they were doing. He met a barber who had often reaped the stubble on his chin, just beyond Woodlawn, on his way home, lugging a string of four dozen catfish, bathed in perspiration and covered with glory and mud. When the Inquisitive gentleman reached the slough ho found people, many of them women, Ashing in every point and at every drift and the brush was full of bicycles and lunch baskets, but very few fish had been caught - There are still half a dozen sloughs where there should be only one, and the fish are scattered over all creation. When the water has fallon a little more the fishing will be better, as there are plenty of fish Jump lng or stirring up the mud in shallow places which will get back Into the reg ular channel. Only one fine bass was seen on the trip, and the man who caught It was exhausted. Some say the bass in the slough are the "lake" "green bass," and not the black bass, They are certainly more green than black, but some say when they get into swift water up the stream where the water is overshadowed by trees, they turn darker In color, and maintain that they are without doubt the "big-mouthed black bass." All agree that they are very gamey, and splendid eating. -SIUMttOCK'S RATTLING PACE. Challenger Sails Over Cup Course in Fast Time. ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. J., July 20. Ten miles an hour for 30 miles, wind ward and leeward, was the rattling pace set by Sir Thomas Llpton's cup-challenger in & race with Shamrock I In the waters of the international race-course off Sandy Hook lightship today. The challenger exact time for 30 miles was 2:59:20, very nearly record time for a cup event and on a par with the Reliance's splendid per formance off Newport in June, when the American yacht covered SO niiles In less than three hours. Shamrock Hi's windward leg today was, however, not a beat to windward. A shift in the wind at the start made it possible for her to fetch from the starting line to within two miles of the turn quicker time than if she had to beat all the way. Her reach of 15 miles In 1 hour, 9 minutes and 8 seconds, an average pace of rising 13 miles, is near the record for a cup race. Despite her splendid performance -she beat Shamrock I by only one minute 22 seconds elapsed time, but the new boat had lost at least two minutes by tho part ing of her jib topsail sheet when she was four miles from the finish line. The race was sailed in a splendid wind rising from 10 knots at the start to 15 at the finish, and a good part of the time the yachts wero dragging their lee rails through the froth from under their bows. The yachts were preparing for another brush when Sir Thomas received notice from the Associated Press by De Forest wireless that the pope was dead. Sir Thomas immediately stopped the racing, and tonight the Erin's flag remains at half mast Tragedy of the Woods. Cottage Grove Nugget Last week a tragedy of tho woods was witnessed by Foster Phillips and Silas Gibbs, who were fishing above the Phillips . homstead cabin on Mosby creeic The boys had gona.up the etream and were fishing Mown, when they heard the bleat or a. deer. Turning around they discovered a big buck In the water a short distance uo the creek, with a Huge gray umoer wolf standing guard and watching his chance to kill the deer. The boys were lthout guns of any description, and. therefore, were no protection to the deer. Whenever the deer would" attempt to get to the shore the wolf would head him oft and make him take to dsep water again. This was kept up for some time, when the deer was taken at a disadvantage and killed In an instant. The boys state that tho wolf was a monster, and when they made efforts to drive him away from the deer he stood his ground and acted as though he would just as soon add a man or two to his dinner as not. The boys made up their mind that they didn't care for venison anyway and contented them selves with taking a few more trout.

Wyoming Militia Prevent Rescue of Accused Cattlemen. BUTTE. Mont. July 20. A Miner spe cial from Thermopolls, Wyo., says that all Is quiet there tonight and there Is little likelihood of an attack being made on the jail tonight to liberate McLoud, the alleged murderer of Mlnnlck, tne sheepman. Captain Blake, with a command of 40 artillerymen and the Basin Light Bat tery, arrived this afternoon at Basjn, af ter a forced march, and tonight they are camped before the Jail on guard. The soldiers are reinforced by scores of heav ily armed sheepmen, who have answered tho Sheriffs call for help.

Probably the last portrait completed by the late James McNeill Whistler was named "His Rev erence" by the artist. The original is Richard A. Canfleld. of this city, the well-known sporting man. Whistler gave Canfleld the last sitting on the afternoon of May 15, in the study of his London residence, and the portrait was finished some time last month. It is supposed to be resting now on the easel on which it .was painted. Canfleld is In Saratoga. A dispatch from that city quotes him as saying of the painter, whom he had known for many years "I see there Is some speculation there as to the disease that carried him off, owing to the reticence of the family. Among those who knew him well there Is no doubt as to the cause of death. It was heart disease. He discovered that he had a weak heart In Holland last vear. when he was there with Colonel Charles L. Freer, of Detroit, who has, by the way, the finest and most com plete collection of Whistler's etchings In the world. Whistler gave me my first sitting for the portrait In the Spring of 1902, just after he closed his studio in Paris and returned to London. He gave me several sittings, and then, as I had to come home, tho work was laid aside until I should return to London the fol lowing year. "I had my first sitting on New Tear's day of this year. He had changed great ly in the 12 months that had passed. : commented on his appearance, but his reply showed that he was very sensitive -on that score and so ever after that I, as did all his friends," told him he looked stronger and better every time I saw him. and that was every day until sailed for New Tork in May. He was not at work, however, on all those days. Infact there were days at a time when ne couia uo nuiumi, uui nu on u. coucn and talk as only Whistler could talk, about those things which interested him. "In spite of all that has been said of him. I know that Whistler was one of the intensest Americans who ever lived, He was not what you call an enthusias tic man. but when he reverted to tho years he spent at "Vest Point, his en thusiasm was infectious. I think he was really prouder of the years he spent there than any others of his life." STREETS FULL OF DEAD. Fierce Battle Between Government and Rebels at Cladad Bolivar.

Carnival That Should Not Be Disregarded by Anyone Who Is Without a Piano. Of nine makes of fine pianos, one make of each of which contains an ax, to denote a cut of $25 to the luck' buyers, only four remain. Contest open to everybody. Early In the season when it was decided to hold the grand Woodmen's Carnival at thl3 time, Etlers Piano House began prep aration for the occasion by ordering a large number bf fine pianos. It was our Idea to have a beautiful Carnival exhibit, as fine, or liner than we have had during tho years gone by, whero our display has invariably carried oft the highest honors, receiving all the high prizes and diplomas for the quality of the Instruments and va riety of exhibit. The Carnival, however, being so close to our store, we decided to hold our exhibit here, and the amount that we would have spent In the Woodmen Car- 1 nival for advertising, the erection of a booth, etc., etc, we are giving our cus tomers. It is our desire to have this ex hibit as closely Identified with the Carni val as if it were actually within the grounds, hence the "Woodmen's emblem, the ax, in nine pianos which signifies the payment of J25 to the first purchaser se lecting an instrument from any one of tho nine lines. ONLY FOUR LEFT The popularity of our pianos and the confidence of the people in our statement has been again demonstrated by the im mense success of this W. O. W. contest. In setting aside nine lines on which to make the cut of $25, we felt safe In calcu lating this number of prize pianos would be sufficient But with the Carnival scarcely half over we now have only four of tne pianos with the axes in tnem re maining. This gives the next purchaser cuances out of 26. the next one 6 chances out of 26, the next 2 chances out of 26. the final one a single chance of the 26 to secure S25 off the price of a fine piano. As the Indications aro very slim for these pianos holding out more than a day or two longer, and as this contest has been so very successful we feel we can make this ADDITIONAL OFFER In order that the last day of the W. O. W. Carnival may be as full of Interest and attractive to visitors as the first we are making a final prize offer of $25.

NORTON DAVIS The tendency of men to neglect minor ailments is responsible for many a blighted life. Happiness and safety demand that skilled medical ald"be sought upon tho first mani festation of weakness or other dis order In men. Neglect means the oncoming aggravated condition that will In time involve the general con stitution. During our 21 years as specialists In men's diseases we have met with every possible com plication of private ailments. Our success in effecting permanent cures has never been approached. We have acquired the understanding arid perfected the methods that en able us to accomplish results, such as havo been regarded as im possible. "Weakness" Functional derangemtKts, com monly termed "weakness," are a direct result of Inflammation, en largement of or excessive sensi tiveness of tho prostate gland, brought on by early dissipation or resulting from some Improperly treated contracted disorder.. These conditions cannot possibly be re moved by internal medicines, and any tonic system of treatment that stimulates activity of the functions can but result in aggravation of the real ailment This is a scientific truth that we have discovered, after careful study and observation in hundreds of cases, and is a truth upon which our own original system of treat ment Is based. We employ neither tonics, stimulants nor electric belts. We treat chiefly by local methods, and our success In curing even those cases where others havo failed Is concluslvo evidence that our method affords the only possi ble means of a complete and radi cal cure. Contracted Disorders The importance of quickly curing contracted disorders is being more fully recognized among the medical profession. The tendency of theso diseases Is gradually to extend backward, involving in a chronic inflammation the most vital centers of the organic system. The serious results that may follow can scarcely be exaggerated. Safety demands an absolute, thorough cure In the least possible time. Wo have treated more cases of contracted disorders than any other physician or institute in the Northwest Our cures are thorough, and aro ac complished in less time than other forms of treatment require in pro ducing even doubtful results. We employ remedies of our own devis ing, ana our treatment is equally effective in both recent and chronic cases. Varicocele We cure every case of varicocele we treat, ana our treatment is en tirely Independent of surgery. Our method is our own. and it cures in every Instance. Others must oper ate because they havo been unable to adopt our , system successfully. Our treatment Is painless, harm less and prompt in curing. The patient need not be detained from his occupation a single day. Stricture In our treatment for this disease mild and harmless methods have again triumphed over surgery. We cure without pain and without cut ting or dilating. The obstructive tissue is dissolved, and till affected membranes thoroughly cleansed and restored to a healthy state. Specific Blood Poison Others dose the system with min eral poisons scarcely less danger ous than tho disease Itself. The best they hope to do by this treat ment Is to keep the disease from manifesting its presence upon the surface of the body. Under our treatment the entire system Is cleansed. The last taint of virus is destroyed. We employ blood- cleansing remedies heretofore un known in the treatment of thl3 dis ease. They cure by neutralizing and absolutely destroying the poison in the system. Such cures cannot be otherwise than complete and permanent PILES Quick Cures Certain Cures We' cure the worst case of PILES permanently, without the use of ointments, without pain, cutting or detention rrom Dusiness, in irom two to three treatments. Our treatment Is entirely new and pe culiar to ourselves. Remember, no matter who has failed before in your case, we will cure you with mild methods and without danger or else make no charge whatever for our services. Should you live at a distance w can treat you successfully at home. WE ARE ALWAYS WILL ING TO WAIT FOR OUR FEE UNTIL A CURE IS v EFFECTED. Consultation free at offlco or by mall.
