SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Aug. 2C (Spe
cial.) Today's game between the Sen
ators and the Portland Browns was an
other terrific slugging match. In which
both teams flung science to the wind and
smashed the all out regardless. Butler
was the slab artist for the first four in
nings and presented a fine class of twirl
ing, but after Graham and McLoughlln
had lined out three-baggers and Hogan
and Egan had doubles to their credits,
to say nothing of the singles that went
afield, he retired in disgust and was re
lieved by Loucks, who also had his
troubles.
Fitzgerald sent them down the alley for
the Senators during the four innings, and
tho Browns did things to him. In the
first inning they bunched four hits on his
delivery, and repeated the dose in the
fourth inning, but when they made five
lilts more in the fifth. Manager Fisher
threw up the sponge and sent Brown in
to compete with Loucks.
At the end of the second Inning a de
cision of O'Connell did not meet with the
approval of Nadeau and he walked out
to O'Connell and kicked so vigorously
that he was ordered out of the game, and
then out of the field. This brought Sam
my Vlgneux to the front, and he got like
treatment. Thellman went out in left
field and did great work, so that Na
deau's services were not missed. Hess
made a fine running catch of a foul ball.
Blake lined out two singles and a three
bagger in his four times at bat. Twirler
Cutter has a slight attack of pneumonia
and it looks as though the rest of the
series should be pie for the Browns.

LIMP ALONG WITH FOUR. CLUBS.
Pacific Nutlonnl Leneue Chiefs Will
Decide on Future Course.
BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 26. (Special.)
President Lucas of the Pacific National
League, Manager Reynolds of the Salt
Lake club, and Manager "Williams of Spo
kane arrived in Butte tonight, and to
morrow evening, with "Manager Wllmot
ot the Butte team, will engage in a con
ference to decide as to the future of the
Pacific National League.
Interest In the action to be taken by
the magnates is rife and. though none of
the leaguers will give decided opinion as
to their probable course, enough Is inti
mated to Justify the assertion that tho
.season twill be finished with--four clubs.
should -the effort to place teams. in Van
couver and Whatcom fall. Portland will
be given the opportunity of playing a club
in the circuit to balance the league should
either Vancouver or Whatcom decide not
to accept a franchise.
President Lucas tonight said he thought
a team could be placed in Vancouver to
advantage, and should Whatcom fall out
: a club could be made to pay in (Portland.
J Lucas does not believe the organization
of an eight-club circuit at this late date
in the season practicable.
It can be said on apparently the best
authority that Salt Lake will bejetalned
In the league, whatever arrangements are
made. Manager Reynolds reports the ball
situation In Utah favorable, and he will
advocate at the meeting tomorrow night
that theeason be extended several weeks.

Joe Choynski Comes From Dnirnon,
Where He Whipped Xick Burley.
Joe Choynski, 'who went to Dawson
City, Yukon Territory, some months ago
to fight Nick Burley, arrived In Portland
last night. Joe lost his first battle to
Burley in the eighth round, but In the
return battle with the Yukon champion,
Choynski laid him away in four rounds.
In the first battle Choynski broke his arm
early in the fight, but he stayed on until
the pain became so great that he had to
quit. Just as soon as his arm mended,
Joe again fought Burley and won as he
chose.
Dawson sports thought so well of
Choynski that before he left he was pre
sented with -a. fine gold nugget suitably
engraved. He was also given a splendid
slod dog! which he prizes very highly. Joe
called on his old friend Tommy Tracey
and brought greetings from Tommy's
frienite in Dawson. Choynski Is on en
thusiastic yachtsman and he will remain
over in Portland and watch the race bulletins.

Armed with a; long knife of native man
ufacture, Abdul Ragmon, who came from
the East Indies, but now lives on a scow
near the North Pacific mill, made an at
tack upon J. Staley and his brother, of
422 Nicholal street, early this morning.
The Staleys were employed In removing
the sawdust from the mill, and say that
the East Indian has made threatening
remarks to them many times before.
Despite the knife in the hands o$ the
treacherous native, the mill hands pounced
upon Abdul and administered a severe
beating. Then a call came In for the
patrol wagon. The 3taleys frankly told
the officers that they .had beaten Abdul,
but as it was considered they had-just
cause they were not arrested. The dark
skinned man from the Far East was
found on his scow some distance away.
The knife had been secreted by the time
the officers arrived, but Abdul was still
