(Special.) In a slugging match that kept the 4000 fans continually howling -with excite ment, Portland beat Los Angeles today by 7 to 5. The locals should havo won, for they had fewer errors and had men on bases In each Inning; but Portland killed Newton with hard swats. Francis bounced one over the right field fence for a home run in the fifth, scoring Beck ahead of him. Nadeau led In the bat ting, but his two doubles were Texas Leaguers, and ordinary fielding would have captured both. With two out In the eighth, Spies hit a bounder past third, and Nadeau fell down In going for It. This lucky hit tied the score, amid great excitement, but Portland cooked the local ambitions by falling hard on Newton in the final round. . Tho score: LOS ANGELES. AB. R. H. P.O. A. E.

Multnomah Will Hold Spring Field Games. The Spring Handicap Field Games reg ularly held every year by the Multno mah Club come off next Saturday. From the records made at these games the team to go north to Vancouver July 2 to the North Pacific meet will be chosen. At these games there will be present the best trackmen in Oregon, and as many of the events have more good athletes In them than can go on the Northern triD. there will ha rlvnlrv pnnnirh oranr. the contestants to make lively sport. j.nis is a meet ror ciud members; but this will not exclude a bunch of fast athletes belonging" to the club now at Valley colleges. Pacific and the State Agricultural College have a number of especially good athletes, some of whom are certain to go North. A preliminary meet was held on the field yesterday morning, Oscar Kerrigan and George Gammle each takiiig a num ber of men and trying out. Kerrigan's team won by 23 to 22. There were sev eral good events and some surprises. Herrlott, who has been coming up lately, tied Oscar Kerrigan In the high jump. Walter Gearln, the quarter-mller, ran down Gammle In the sprints, and Bert Kerrigan Jumped 5 feet 10 In practice, without forcing himself. If he keeps this up and his ankle does not ' go back on him, ho will soon be jumping over six feet, and he will have that event cinched. Other men who showed up well were Edgar Frank In the hurdles, Frohman in the 100 and 230, Ambrose In the half and mile, and Wilcox with that 11-foot 7-lnch vault of his. A new acquisition has come to the club In O'Connor, who won the mile at the Columbia Indoor games hands down. He Is good for about 4:3S now, and with training he will lower that considerably In the next few weeks. Ted Wood Is also showing up well in the 220 and 440. having won the one-lap race yesterday. Gammle proved himself the quickest at starting on the sprint by winning the x5-yard dash. But from the Valley are the hot ones, and they wlll.be trying out for the club team next Saturday. Fletcher. Gates. Peterson and Gilbert, of Pacific, and Smlthson and Williams, "who smashed Pacific in the sprints several weeks ago, are out for places. Coates Is, of course, a sure thing and good for about three firsts. . Tho greatest rivalry will be between these athletes, Pacific being anxious to win back its laurels from O. A. C It will be their dual meet run over again in some of the events. Peterson, Smlthson and Williams will make things lively In the sprints. They are about on a par, though the Agricultural College men have recently done for Peterson. There Is no doubt that the club will be all right in tho sprints. Gilbert is just about capable of defeat ing Wilcox in the pole vault and they will TrinltA n dhwtff Tifllr Th Tiri ,,ttit "belongs to Coates and Peterson. Coates is aiso gooa ior xne mgn ana low nuraies and is sure to make the low hurdles, as he holds the Coast record at 25 4-5 sec onds. This is the sort of material that will be out next Saturday, and with the men all anxious to make the team, they will do their "best. For that reason tjsese" games will be tne best of the year held in -Port land. THEY SMELL BLOOD Portland Lacrosse Players PIay First-Game WITH VETERANS OF SEATTLE Two Portland Players "Disabled in Fierce Battle, While Home Team Loses, Being 'Pitted Against Some of the Best. It was tho old story of the Chesapeake and the Shannon over again, so far as the lacrosse match between the Portland and Seattle clubs, played yesterday afternoon on the baseball grounds. Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets, Is concerned. The score was: Seattle 9, Portland 1. The acting captain of the Portlands was Fred Lawrence, and he went down to defeat after a plucky fight, suffering from a bad smash on his right hand. So much for historical parallel. Thirteen hundred peo ple were present, and It Is safe to say that they enjoyed the first lacrosse game seen here for over six years. It was a swift contest, of a semi-professional brand. At true exciting moments of the game, and there were many, the occupants of the bleachers yelled them selves hoarse with delight. There were OREGON'S REPRESENTATIVE AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY as well as Latin. Harvey B. Densmore. Thugj for gYe hoia,. ships have been awarded University students. Roy Renshaw goes' to Colum bia, James Gilbert to Columbia, Merrill Hanvllle to the University of Chi cago, Charles Calne to the Boston School of Technicology and Mr. Densmore to Oxford. While In the University Densmore was an exceedingly strong student, being elected president of the associated students and representing Oregon In oratory. several lively mix-ups, and when two players alternately stole and recovered the ball, there were cries of: "Soak him. Stick to him, sonny." Harry Wilson, the "Portland second home, was struck over the head by Oddy, of Beattle, so fiercely that the wound had afterward to be stitched by Dr. Braden." After the sec ond quarter opened, Lawrence's injured hand was so swollen that he was re leased from play. Oddy, whose stick, struck Wilson, was ruled off play for five minutes for fouling. To even up the teams, F. Galen went to the bench for a rest. Then two Portland men dropped out for good, as they could not stand the terrific pace. Their wind was all but gone. Yet with it all," tho Portlands made a creditable appearance for a comparatively new club In the lacrosse world, and they are beaten but not disgraced. Several of them never saw a lacrosse stick until about one month ago, and the sticks they all carried were new and the network -did not give. Consequently, it was dif ficult" to catch the ball at a swift angle. Then the Portlands were handicapped by the sudden absence of their regular field captain. Major Charles B. McDonell. Up to the end of last week he directed their play at practice and he and the players had agreed on a secret system of sig nals. However, he was called upon to attend a funeral, and-his place was taken by his brother, J. J. McDonell, who worked his hardest But It was too late to remove the handicap.- The signals were too easily understood. Then the Port lands were plainly nervous, and when It came to hard "checking," catching the balljn their lacrosse sticks, or comblna tlonpasslng, in three cases out of four they were not in It, with the exception of Braden and one or two more. How few people in the grandstand realized that the Portlands were facing some of the very best lacrosse players on this continent? Oddy the Great recently belonged to one of the greatest lacrosse clubs In the world, the New Westmin sters. He accompanied the New West minsters In their Eastern tour four years ago, and was recognized everywhere as a great star player. Mitchell and Gow played with the Vancouvers, Hartnagel and Milne with the Victorias, Marshall with an Ottawa team, Beattle with the Seaforths, Heard with the Cornwalls, Hall, Kennedy and the Galer boys with Toronto teams, and Weber with the Win nlpegs. Against this array of sturdy Ca nadian talent, what could learners do? The Seattles have already defeated Ever ett by 10 to 1, and Tacoma 4 to 3. Yet it is Incorrect to assume that la crosse Is a purely Canadian game- It Is really an American Indian game, and was played on this continent by the Ameri can Indians, under the name of "Bagat away," long before the geeograpbical spheres of the United States and Canada were laid out. In those days, the game was played with goals one-half mile apart, and participated in by all the males of the Indian tribe. An old chronicler says: "The object of the game seems to have been the training of warriors for the war path by cultivating agility and endurance." , ' As for the game yesterday, Oddy the Great calmly and quietly prevented ev erybody from scoring except Harry Wil son. He allowed Harry to send In one shot, and then It was all over. Then Milne and Weber entered Into a contract that no one except themselves would be allowed to score, and this Is the reason the score was not larger. It was first Mr. Milne and then it was Mr. Weber, with Mr. Oddy and Mr. Gow on the side! It is not necessary to give a description of the game, asr it would be a repetition of the glories won by those Britishers. For the Portlands Dr. Braden was the star, but he was too closely watched to allow of his scoring. Until he was hurt Lawrence played welL The Stewart boys were stalwarts, and C. A. Stewart was a rock of defense. Harry Wilson was a tower of strength, and he .was not afraid to check closely. Roberts and Beckwlth more than pleased their friends. Minto should not have been in the game, as he was suffering from the effects of cold. How loyal the crowd was to the Port lands, and how it yelled and applauded the boys when there was the faintest chance of scoring! There were too many fumbles and want of combination play, however. But the Portlands saw real la crosse played, and they have learned their lesson. Some sweetday , They have the making of a strong dub, and they will jet beat the Jmaghty Hien from Seattle. At last, Messrs. Oddy, M11b, Weber and Company yawned aad sad: "Well, fel lows, we've got enoBgh games for one day. If s about dinner time." So tio more games were scored, and the crowd went home.

Horses are rapidly arriving at Washington Park and all ru mors as to the abandonment of the UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu gene, June 11. (Special.) Har vey B. Densmore, who was gradu ated from the State University In 1903, and who is now taking post graduate work In the University, has received ' word that lie Is awarded a scholarship. In Oxford University. The scholarship was offered by Cecil Rhodes as tho consequence of a desire to effect a unification of the English-speaking people and amounts to $1500 per annum and Is good fqr three yeara, Mr. Densmore will register as a sophomore this Fall and dur ing the Summer vacation he In tends studying In Germany, Italy and France. The fact that' Densmore re ceived especial note for the strength of his examination In the classic languages, speaks well for the local department, which Is un der the direction of Professor John Straub. Mr. Densmore has been a , member of Professor Straub's Greek class for six years and In that time he has completed eight courses of Greek, meeting were set at rest tonight by Sec retary Howard, who stated positively and finally that the meeting would, be run as scheduled from June 18 to July 16 in clusive. "There has never been the slightest ln 'tentlon . of the Washington Park Club calling off the meeting,'" said Mr. How ard tonight. r '' "When we gave out the entries for the Derby and the conditions for the rest cf the races. It made our' twenty-five days meeting a certainty. I look for a splen did field for the Derby." ' Secretary Howard announced tonight that no telegraph wires would be allowed on the ground. One of the telegraph com panies has in the past had a number of wires Into the grounds, but these will be shut out this year. Newspapers will be given ample telephone facilities, but outside of this no messages will be al lowed to be forwarded from the track. High Ball, William M. Scheftel's Ameri can Derby colt, will not come West to start in the Washington Park classic next Saturday. Fort Hunter, M. Dymerit's American Derby candidate, will be in Chi cago early in the week. COURTHOUSE BEATS CITY HALL Fund of $500 Is Raised for John McLeod. Mayor Williams did not pitch the first ball for City Hall in the ball game against the Courthouse yesterday afternoon at the Hawthorne-Avenue grounds, but Sam my Vigneux was umpire, and that -satisfied the fans who were looking for celeb rities. The Courthouse nine won by a score of of 13 to 9. Almost J500' was raised for 'John McLeod, who was crushed be tween two freight cars- while crossing through the Terminal yards some time ago and whose leg had to be amputated. There were many old-timers on the field, such as "Trilby" Rankin and his brother Jack, "Gene" Welsh and "Fat" Potter, and others who played the game when the old "Oaks" served as a diamond. Jack Rankin was once in the Texas League. Both teams put up a style of ball that was little short of atrocious, but some of the players had not hag a bat In their hands for years, and their funny attempts to slide bases and land high flies were duly appreciated by the crowd. The out field had grown a young crop of hay and the fielders slipped on the long grass, even turning somersaults In their at tempts to he agile. Potter at second base was the most interesting; and Elliott, catching for the City Hall, stopped about half the balls pitched. Things went pretty badly for the City Hall till Crandall was put in the box for the Courthouse. As his team was far ahead, the Courthousers claim that he was told to let the City Hallers pound the ball, but It did not look that way, and five were run up on him first crack. La ter four more came. Potter was the hero of one double play, and If he had remembered to throw the ball would have posed as ,the same In an other. Three pitchers were needed by the City Hall to stop the- onslaught. The most successful of these lasted just one Inning, when he was taken out" because the grand stand hadonecto sleep watch ing the ball from the time it left his hand till it crossed the plate. He had on white ducks and a black shirt, and he. could pitch a fiercely slow ball. It crawled. It toddled, and became abso lutely decrepit, but It finally got over the plate, and there was not a batter who could send it out of the infield. The only real ball playing was done by the brothers Rankin and Swope, catcher, and Hay, short, for the Court House. But the crowd was there, and there was enough doing- to keep it going. Whether it was good baseball or not did not matter. Rainier Defeats Castle Rock. CASTLE ROCK, June 12. (Special.) Rainier defeated Castle Rock at baseball today by a score of 6 to 0. The features of the game were the pitching of Caswell and the all-around team work of Rainier. An excursion from Rainier was well at tended and led by a brass hand.

(SpeciaL) Not withstanding the notice served upon them yesterday by. Professor Drew, of Willam ette University, all the cigar stores, candy shops and Ice cream parlors were open all day today and were apparently doing a good business, but every saloon was closed, apparently. Everyone is now waiting with Interest to ee what Professor Drew will do about it tomorrow. About half the men con cerned expect to be arrested, the other half believe the 'whole, matter wilt be dropped, and Professor Drew, the only man who knows what will happen, Is silent There was a hurried consultation yes terday afternoon after the letters had -been received by the proprietors of the several stores, but no formal meeting was held. Some of Jhe cigarmen declared at once that they would keep their places of business open even If all the rest closed,' and very soon It was apparent that no one would shut up shop on the Sabbath day, One cigar man was so anxious that his intentions should be known that he called up Professor Drew by telephone and In formed him that if he would come down town on Sunday he could buy all the cigars he wanted at from 5 to 50 cents each. But Professor Drew's crusade has prov en a success In one respect Every saloon In the city Is closed up tight today. Last Sunday every liquor-selling establishment was wide open, front doors and back doors. Jt was reported last evening that all the saloons except one would close today, and that this one would transact business in order to test the law. If any of them are open today that fact could not be learned by a casual inspection from the outside. All front doors were bolted and some yrere barricaded with boxes or kegs. The saloonmen and cigarmen are up In arms and say that Professor Drew's action shall cost him his position in Wil lamette University, where he occupies the chair of Latin and Greek. While they do not say that the university Is even Indirectly concerned In the crusade for Sunday closing, they declare that the school, will suffer loss of patronage and support, by reason of Professor Drew's course, and they will contribute no more towards the school or any of Its public events so long as he is connected with it The annual meeting of the board of re gents of the university will be held this month. While a re-election of Professor Drew would not necessarily be an in dorsement "of his course, nor a failure of re-election a disapproval, the action of the board will be .watched with interest. Professor Drew did not consult with any of the university authorities before swearing out the warrants for the arrest of the saloonmen who violated the Sun day closing act but proceeded solely upor his right as an American citizen to secure the punishment of offenders. The cigarmen and confectioners are re lying almost entirely upon the belief that no jury will convict them, though they also believe that the statute forbidding the opening of "stores" and "shops" ap plies only to general stores and not to places where refreshments are sold. BODY FOUND IN BOXCAR. Mystery About the Death of Cook From Baker City. BAKER CITY. Or., June 12. (Special.) Thomas W. Suttle, a restaurant cook, was found dead I na boxcar on an O. R. & N. freight train near Weatherby this morning. The head brakeman saw a man apparently asleep in a boxcar as. he came over the train. He entered the car through the end door thinking he was a tramp stealing a ride. He tried to awaken the man, who was laying face down with a buesy robe wrapped around his head. He soon discovered that the man was dead. The brakeman called the rear brake man and conductor and together they made a careful examination of" the body. The man's face was bruised and there was blood in his mouth and ears. So far as could be found no bones were broken. Coroner Snow was notified and he met the train when- It arrived In the city at 9 o'clock. An Inquest was held, the result of which was that the deceased came to his death by some means unknown to the Jury. There are- several theories, one is that the man was murdered in Huntington and the body thrown In the car; another is that he- was killed by tramps in the car. The appearance .of the body seems to in dicate that death resulted from a fall, as there Is no evidence of a beating. One leg Is bruised, also one arm slightly. The deceased was in this city Friday. He was a member of the Cooks' and Walt ers' Union, No. 324, of this city, and holds a card dated June 7, 1S04, showing that he was in good standing. He was slightly known here, having worked a short time at Granstrom's restaurant in this city. He was said to be steady and Industrious, not jglven to drinking. He had formerly been a sailor. The officers are making a careful inves tigation here and at Huntington to obtain some clew as to the real cause; of death. When found by the trainmen the man. had only been dead a short time as the body was quite warm even when brought to this city. Suttle is said to have a brother and sister residing at Eugene. HOQUIAM DOWNS CENTRALIA. Wins Exciting Game, Which Makes All League Teams Even. HOQUIAM. Wash., June 12. (Special.) Hoqulam won from Centralla today in an exciting game by the score of 4 to 3. Centralia scored her only runs on a hit by Grimm and an error. Hoqulam was shut out until the seventh Inning, when, with three men on bases, Dod Schwartz drove out a three-sacker, tieing the score. Brodahl. who attempted to stop the ball, sprained his ankle and retired. Hoqulam got her winning run in the eighth, when Bhilbrlck secured a hit made second and third on a passed ball, and then stole home on a long fly to the outfield. - Baxter refused to play with the Ho qulam team because he was refused ad vance money.
