THE MORNING OREGDNIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1904. FIRST GAME WEDNESDAY GOVERNOR AND MAYOR WILL WELCOME THE BROWNS. O'Connell Will Umpire to Fans' Content-Spectators of First Game Will Be Keen Critics. "With the aid of a few railroad experts, Ben Ely finally reached the conclusion that it vrould he impossible for the Browns to reach Portland In time to open the season today, as per the schedule. This was not all that he accomplished. Yesterday he got busy and, if the weather man will be good. Governor George E. Chamberlain and Mayor George H. "WH liams will be among the attractions at the Vaughn-street grounds on "Wednes day afternoon. There will be a street parade In case the team arrives in time. A San Francisco paper, -under date of April 15, stated that President Bert has selected Umpire Jack O'Connell to ofliclate in the North. O'Connell Is well-liked in the North and he "will be a welcome visitor to the fans. According to the Etories which have floated this way from tne South, Portland fans are not a bit anxious to have Houston come to this neck of the woods. Ben Ely has stated that Houston has broken it off into the Browns on several occasions and that on account of a couple of close decisions in which the Browns got the worst of it, they got off badly at Fresno. "While the fans have been grumbling at the Browns for being in the cellar, everybody will be glad to see them re turn and to give them a loyal welcome. It will be a critical crowd, however, that will journey out to the games, critics willing to forgive if the team takes a brace, but who will howl their heads off In case the Browns continue losing. There has been a disposition on the part of some of tlfla fans to cuss the manage ment and to lay all the blame on Fred Ely. Just critics know that Ely has been doing his best and, while they feel sore ever the games which have been lost, they know that no ball team on earth can win games when almost every player is suffering from a big slump In his bat ting. Taking the games all through, there is only one which really could be called "rotten," and was a 9 to 0 affair. The others for the most part were all tight fits, in which luck counted against the local team. If the team gets out and plays good ball and shows by its performances that It is out to win games, all past perform ances will be forgiven. The good old fans here do not clamor for a pennant winning team; they would be content If the team was in the first division. Itary Academy and Bishop Scott Academy on ilultnomah field is the first game of the Interscholastle series. As both teams have been training hard and are equally confident it promises to be an Interesting contest. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Standing of the Clubs. "Won.

Carlon Not the Best Shot. PORTLAND, Or., April -18. (To the Sporting Editor.) In your account of the Sunday shoots, a match between myself and Mr. Cullison was reported. As a mat ter of fact my match was with Dick Carlon, who claims to be the best traj shot on the Pacific Coast, but who Isn't. He used his own gun, and shot the best he knew how. I defeated him, and can do It again. It was not Mr. Cullison, as stated In tho paper. W. F. LIPMAN. New Tork. . . .. St. Louis....... Cincinnati Boston ........ Pittsburg Chicago Philadelphia ...

Queenan dropped Clifford In the third with a straight left to the chin, and sent him to his corner in rather bad shape. In the 17th, a right swing found Queenan's jaw, and he in turn went groggy for a moment. Queenan finished without a mark, while Clifford had a bad eye and some badly pounded ribs.

Tho hearing In the suit against the Northern Securities Company, asking a restraining order against the method of distributing of the company's Northern Pacific holdings of Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railroad stocks, was begun In Jersey City today. E. T. Nichols, secretary and treasurer of the Northern Securities, filed an affidavit very similar to the one filed In Minnesota's court. Counsel for Mr. Venner demanded the production of the books, to which the counsel for the Northern Securities Com pany objected, but the argument was pro tracted. At the conclusion of th5 arguments Vice-Chancellor Berger dismissed the ap plication of the Continental Securities Company for an Injunction against tho meeting of the stockholders of the North ern Securities Company on April 2L The Vice-Chancellor stated there was no question of the right of the Northern Se curities Company to reduce Its capital stock, which action was conceded to be legitimate; that no proof had been pre sented that the proposed method of dis tribution of the stocks would be an In Jury to the complainant; that the de cision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Su preme Court did not order any distribu tion of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern stocks, or describe any method for their distribution, but that tho de cree simply prevented the Northern Se curities Company from getting any benefit from the holding of these stocks; that the stocks of these railroads are actual assets of the Northern Securities Com pany and may therefore be distributed to stockholders, as, in the opinion of the court, their sale in the market would be a tremendous Injury to tho public wel fare; and that the method adopted, and heretofore announced, for such stock dis tribution is perfectly fair. He said he would have to sustain the contention of the Northern Securities Company, and he further remarked that any interference on the part of the court was unwar ranted and would work a hardship on the stockholders of the company. Minnesota Decision Next Week. ST. PAUL, April IS. No decision was handed down by the United States Cir cuit Court in the motion of E. H. Harri man and W. S. Pierce for leave to In tervene in the settlement of the Northern Securities Company's case. Judge San born said to the Associated Press that the decision would be given on or before Thursday, April 2L The decision is in course of preparation.
