SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 4.
(Staff Correspondence.) It took Uncle
Hank Harris Seals ten innings of the
'greatest baseball ever played at Rec
reation Park to defeat us this after-
H6M, 1 tO 0.
Far nine innings and a half, William
Eiarick, the Knox College youth that
Mnnager McCredle secured from Salt
Ijike, held the Seals safe, but a lucky
drive by Wheeler, who was bending:
thorn for San Francisco, managed to
sneak in one of those fluke safe Din
gles that counted, and the Portlanders
went back to their "dinners with a
stingy coat of whitewash taxed against
them.
To go down In defeat in a game
hucIi as that put up by the Northerners-is
tough baseball luck. We out-hit
the Bay City birds and outplayed
them when it came to spectacular work
on the diamond, and, but for some bad
judgment at second, where McCredle
and Householder were caught napping
at critical times, we would have
knocked San Francisco's 1000 per cent
average into a cocked hat.
Essick Outpitches Wheeler.
Essick pitched a better game than
Wheeler, but the stickers behind him
could not cluster their swats when
they would do the most good that's
the whole story of our defeat today.
2iot a Seal was able. to connect with
Essick's delivery until the fifth Inn
ing, and only two men during the
game got as far as third base. It was
Impossible for the visitors to get but
two In a row, and when this doesn't
happen there Is little chance of win
ning a ball game.
Yet there Is no Icick coming against
losing a game like this. There was
great baseball thrown Into these nine
and a half Innings, baseball that made
the fans and the scribes of this burg
sit up and take notice. The game was
hardly two Innings old before Henry
Harris, who recently took occasion to
criticise Manager McCredle for his
team, began to feel sorry that he
spoke.
Portland's Star Performance.
When the game settled down in ear
nest, when Jakey Atz made a brilliant
one-nand stop that set the people in
the land of bleach roaring like mad,
when Larry Schlafley was making
stops that were putting the glory of
Kid Mohler in the background, and
When Big McLean and every member
on the team played three-star special
baseball, a murmur of pleased surprise
could be heard all over the grandstand
and the bleachers. Old stagers, fans
who have seen countless games in San
Francisco, admitted when the winning
run -was finally securetf that the Seals
had met a ball team, and tonight they
are betting 2 to 1 that the Seals will
not have a 1000 per cent next Sunday.
One Slight Error.
Of the game there Is little to telL
Portland really played an errorless
game. The one error charged to Jakey
Atz is one of those things that the
scorer must do. It came in the sixth
Inning. Mohler had singled and there
were two down. Hildebrahd hit a
scorcher to Atz and he Juggled it long
enough for HilJebrand to reach first.
Mohler, who thought he had a chance
to score, made a race for the plate, but
a quick recovery and a perfect throw
-to the plate nailed him and prevented
what looked like a sure score.
Every other play, and most of them
wore difficult, was pulled off without
a bobble. McLean poked out another
two-bagger, but it counted for naught,
for those behind- him could "not help
him out. "Slats" Davis has made a
great hit, and they say here that If Tie
keeps up his good work he will he
the greatest umpire the Coast League
has ever seen. The score:

STEALING NEVADA'S ATHLETES
Such Is Charge Made Against the
University xf Oregon.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4. (Spe
cial.) A special from Reno says for
several days past the student body of
the University of Nevada has been
greatly agitated over the loss of Frank
Frlessel, the "sagebrushers ' star
athlete, and the prospective loss of
other men who have been prominent
In upholding the blue and white on the
gridiron and cinder path. Frlessel goes
to the University of Oregon, and the
students of the Nevada Institution are
making some ugly charges against the
Northern college and its method of con
ducting its sports.
The report has been circulated and
is generally believed that Oregon is
receiving a subsidy from the Lewis and
Clark Exposition to gather together an
athletic team. The charge is freely
made that the University of Oregon
is bidding for. the athletes of Nevada.
The charge that the University of
Oregon Is receiving a subsidy from
the Lewis and Clark Exposition to
gather an athletic team is ridiculous.
The University of Oregon has received
no money from the Exposition for such
a purpose.
ROW HERE DURING THE FAIR
Stanford Four Is Coming North to
Race Washingtonians Also.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 4. (Special.)
Treasurer Barrett, of the Stanford stu
dents. Is determined to give the Stanford
crew plenty of opportunities for action
this Spring, although the prospects of a
race with the University of California
April 29 appears poor. On April 15 Stan
ford will row the Washington University
over the Redwood City course. The crew
will then be taken north to Seattle, where
they will again meet the Washington
crew.
At this time the Stanford freshmen crew
will be given an opportunity to meet the
Washington "babies." A three-cornered
race is also being arranged with the Port
land Rowing Club, to be held at Portland
In June. The crack athletic clubmen are
eager for the race, and it will be a big
attraction during the Fair. The 'varsity
crew will probably be picked as follows:
Captain, W. E. Doyle, 1905, stroke; Fred
Zimmerman, No. 3; B. Bryan, No. 2; H.
P. Butterflold, bow, and E. V. Hsnley,
coxswain.
Rolls the Perfect Score.
For the first time in local bowling cir
cles and the second time In the North
west the perfect score of -300 was rolled
by C. H. Ball on the Portland alleys yes
terday. This score is the highest that
can possibly be made in tenpins, and Is
secured by 12 consecutive strikes. The
only other 200 score in the Northwest was
made by A. L. Jenkins in Seattle about
two months ago.
Ball, who is considered one of the lead
ers In city bowling, has been gradually
approaching the 300 mark for the past few
weeks, and last Saturday scored 298. His
phenomenal score of yesterday was made
while playing with C. J. McMenomy in a
two-man team game. This team, not
content with establishing a new record
for one man, shoved up the record for a
two-roan team's single, making the score
517. In three games this team matte an
average of 232.
Despite the newness of the alleys, some
good Individual scores are being rolled at
.the Oregon bowling alleys. Arrangements
are about completed for league matches
to be held there. Beginning today, three
alleys will be reserved for the use of
ladies on Wednesday afternoon of each
weok, and will be given free of charge.

COMPANY M WINS
Trophy Goes to the Boys of
Salem.
PROTEST FINALLY DECIDED
Company D, of Roseburg, Loses Its
Contention, and Adjutant-General
Makes the Avard
in Favor of M.
The dispute over the winner In the state
tttlnhv match nf iho nnnnal tH flo rovnlm.
and carbine competition of the Oregoir
National Guard, held las October, was
settled finally yesterday, when Adjutant
General W. E. Flnzer awarded the trophy
to Company M, of Salem.
When the competition was held last
October the team representing Company
D, of Roseburg, led off In the score, but
a protest was entered by several of the
other teams, on the ground that the men
had been placed too close together on
the firing line, and thus hindered wer6 at
a disadvantage in their shooting. The
protest was presented to Major F. S.
Baker, the officer In charge of the compe
tition, to whose discretion such details of
the competition were left.
After a consideration of the facts pre
sented In the protests ho decided that
they were justifiable and annulled the
former competition. At the second meet
ing Company M took first place, but when
the award was made. Company J entered
a protest and appealed to Adjutant-General
Flnzer for the recognition of the
first match and the award to It of the
trophy. Since that time Adjutant-General
Flnzer has placed the matter before sev
eral officers of the War Department and
other authorities, with the result that the
action of Major F. 8. Baker as officer in
:harge has been sustained. Confirmation
of the award of the trophy to Company
M will now be Issued.
This trophy consists of a silver cup, and
t will become the perpetual property of
the organization first winning it three
times. In the first annual competition,
held In 1903, it was won by Troop A, of
the cavalry.
The conditions for the annual competi
tion allow each company of Infantry and
the troop of cavalry of the Oregon Na
tional Guard to enter a team consisting
of four men and one substitute. The com
petition for the state trophy consists of
slow fire at 200, 500 and 600 yards, allow
ing seven shots per man at each distance,
and rapid fire at 201 and 500 yards with
five shots per man at each distance.

GANS TO MEET THE DANE
"Battling" Nelson Agrees to Match
With Black.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 4. (Spe
cial.) Morris Levy, of the Hayes Val
ley Club, has matched Joe Gans and
Battling Nelson for a fight. Al Herford
was communicated with in Baltimore,
and he expressed his willingness to
bring Gans out here again. Levy hopes
to pull off the battle this month and
will do so in case he can secure tha
permit.
There are as yet no weight stipula
tions In the GanS match. This Is likely
to be a mooted point, although Nelson
said that he would not attempt to se
cure an advantage In the weight. Gans
showed In his training for his fight
with Britt that 133 pounds ringside is
beyond his reach. Nelson has always
contended that this is the legitimate
lightweight limit, but he now seems
willing to listen to argument from the
Baltimore black.
Gans has the lightweight title. If
Nelson defeats him Britt will be forced
to meet the Dane to gain the cham
pionship. Death of Lake Shipowner.
CHICAGO. April 4. Captain Charles J.
MagilL one of the largest vessel owners
on the Great Lakes, is dead at the home
of his daughter here. He was S7 years
old.
Long Passage Across Atlantic.
ST. JOHNS. N. F., April L The long
overdife steamer Juplte. from Liverpool,
arrived here today after a passage of
27 days. She experienced terrible weather
during nearly the entire voyage and was
badly damaged by Ice floes. The Jupiter
should have arrived here two weeks ago
and grave anxiety had been felt for her
safety.
SMITHS STILL ARE FIGHTING
Proceedings in Cincinnati to Have
Them Sent to New York.
CINCINNATI, O., April 4. The case of
J. Morgan Smith and wife, arrested in
connection with the Nan Patterson case
In New York, was up In police court
today but was once more adjourned, this
time until April 7, the postponement be
ing required to "wait the action of the
Common Picas Court on the writs of
habeas corpus."
The appearance in police court was not,
however, without a vigorous protest from
their attorney, Thomas Shea. The
Sheriff consulted Prosecuting Attorney
Rullson, who told him to allow the pris
oners to be arraigned In police court,
but to be sure to have them on hand at
the time specified by the Common Pleas
Court. Mr. Rullson said he acted advis
edly in telling the Sheriff to produce the
prisoners in police court. Had they not
appeared, he said, it might have left a
loophole for attorneys for the prisoners
to claim in the habeas corpus proceed
ings on Wednesday that nothing had
been done against them in the police
court
In the police court, on motion of the
Prosecuting Attorney, the cases were con
tinued until April 7. The prisoners were
then returned to the County Jail.
The copy of the indictment found last
week in New York, charging the pris
oners with conspiracy with Nan Patter
son, was received here today by the au
thorities and at once Mr. Rullson swore
out an affidavit charging the Smiths with
being fugitives from justice, basing It
on the indictment. This Is the same
charge which was entered against them
last week. The new papers were served
on the Smiths.
LETTERS IN JEROME'S HANDS
Attorney Has Smith's Correspondence
Not Wanted as Witness.
NEW YORK, April 4. Five packages of
letters, believed to contain the corre
spondence found in the possession of J
Morgan Smith and his wife, the long-
sought witnesses for Nan Patterson's
trial, when they were arrested In Cincin
nati last week, were delivered by the
postal authorities to District Attorney
Jerome today. From the size of the
packages there seemed to be at least 100
letters in the lot. Neither Mr. Jerome
nor Mr. Rand, Assistant District Attor
ney, who has had charge of the prose
cution of the Patterson case, would say
anything about them.
Unless the proceedings In Cincinnati
over tho extradition of J. Morgan Smith
and his wife are ended this week and the
couple started on their way to New
York, Mr. Jerome will ask for a further
postponement of Nan Patterson's trial
It was sot -down for next Monday.
Mr. Jerome said today, after he had re
ceived the letters from Cincinnati, that
he would not call either Mr. or Mrs.
Smith as witnesses for the people. He
said:
"I will bring them here first for the
purpose of having them Identified as the
purchasers of the revolver with which
Caesar Young was slain, and secondly
in order to give Miss Patterson's counsel
an opportunity to call them to the stand
for the defense."
REVIEWS WORK OF HIS TERM
Ex-Senator Foster Gratified at Serv
ice He Rendered Washington.
OREGONIAN NF1WS BUREAU. Wash
ington, April 2. Ex-Senator Foster on re
tiring from the Senate said that he was
satisfied with tho result of the work he
has been able to accomplish during the
past six years. His record shows a total
of 84 bills passed in the Senate with a
total of 57 that became laws.
"I have been able to secure the passage
In the Senate of all the House bills that
have been sent over to me," he said with
evident satisfaction today, "the last two
being Congressman Cushman's Point De
fiance bill and Congressman Jones
Spokane River water power bill. 1 also
am very glad to have been able to assist
in the adjustment of a number of import
ant matters for Washington State as well
as legislation of National Import before
the close of my service. During the last
days of my term here I was kept busy
with the committee on commerce and am
glad to say that everything that was pro
vided In the bill as it left the House was
retained In the Senate, together with a
number of additional Items of legislation
on behalf of our state that were added
by me in the Senate."
Mr. Sammons, Senator Foster's private
secretary, states that the average num
ber of letters written by the Senator dur
ing the past six years was between 1000
and 1500 per mopth, and each day's mail;
and the resulting departmental work, has
been attended to before sunset of that
day. A complete record of all this cor
respondence has been kept and filed.
Mr. Sammons Intended to take a short
vacation and see a number of the popular
sights in and about Washington City that
he has not been able to visit during the
decidedly strenuous past six years and
later he and Mrs. Sammons were to visit
Florida and Cuba. His appointment by
the President, however, as Consul-Gen-
eral at Niuchwang, China, will necessitate
leaving for his new post of duty without
delay.

musical and literary programme and en
joy a basket lunch.
After the business session, which con
sisted of the routine reports of various
committees and the suggested plans for

and Clark Centennial from the state of
Michigan, the programme was given, and
then came tho selling of the luncheon bas
kets to the highest bkldors. There were
some very nicely decorated oaskcts, there
were baskets that were nice-looking, al
though they contained, the good things,
and baskets that were made to sell. As
a result of the sale the sum of $22.55 was
added to the treasury of the society, and

FERNDENE IS FIXED
Another Steamer
From Portland to
in Trade
Japan.
DUE HERE FROM ORIENT MAY 1
Charter by Independent Shippers
May Not Prevent Portland &
Asiatic From Also Putting on
Extra Vessel Next Month.
The negotiations that have been under
way for over a week for laying on an
extra steamer here for the Orient resulted
yesterday in the chnrtering of the Fern
dene, a British steamship of 244S tons net
register. She will take cargo to Japan
independently of the regular line.
The Ferndene was chartered by Tay
lor, Young & Co., and will be on hand to
begin loading about May 1. Her cargo
will be supplied In part by T. M. Stevens
& Co., and other Portland exporters will
also have space on her. She was char
tered to take a "full cargo of flour or
wheat," but it is likely that nearly all
of her freight will consist of flour, as it
was the recent flurry In the Japanese
flour demand that has necessitated the
putting on of extra steamers. The ad
vance in the Japanese tariff will take
effect on July 1, and Importers over there
have sent in rush orders to this Coast In
order to secure the stocks before the rise.
Tho Portland & Asiatic Steamship Com
pany has also been figuring on an extra
steamer for May sailing and may yet se
cure one, notwithstanding the chartering
of the Ferndene. Over half the space on
tho Nicomedla, which sails May 15, has
already been reserved, and at the rate
that offerings are coming in It is probable
that all her space will be taken before this
month Is gone. Should more heavy flour
orders be received at the last moment, the
shippers will not be so particular In the
matter of rates, and a regular steamer
will look as good to them as an outsider.
The Portland & Asiatic is In a position
now to put on a special boat as soon as
It Is needed.
The Ferndene's rate was not made pub
lic, but tramps are quotable at $4, and it
is the general opinion that this is her
rate. The regular tariff on flour to the
Orient is $3. Were It not for the fact
that the emergency which calls for these
extra steamers Is of but a limited period,
the advent of the $4 vessels might be
looked upon as the forerunner of tariff
demoralization. The trans-Pacific com
panies, however, do not fear any rate
trouble. They argue that the Japanese
war is about at an end and believe that
as soon as hostilities cease the volume of
traffic will be so great that shippers will
be willing to stand by the regular tariff.
In addition to the two Oriental steam
ers sailing from Portland In May, the
Ferndene and the Nlcomedia, two will get
away In the present month, the Portland
& Asiatic liner Aragbnia and the Dum
barton. The Aragonia Is due hero on the
10th and is scheduled to sail on the 19th.
She will take out a full cargo, all of her
space having been reserved for some time
past. The Dumbarton will sail on or
about the 20th with 6000 tons of flour, to
be shipped by the Portland Flouring
Mills. In addition to these vessels, the
Sandhurst will sail from Portland with
2300 tons of hay about the middle of the
month.
The Ferndene will come t6 Portland
direct from the Asiatic coast. She is a
fine stenmer of 2148 tons net, and Is 340
feet long, 48 feet beam and 25.9 feet depth
of hold. She was built at Newcastle in
1S99 by the Northumberland Shipbuilding
Company, and is owned by the Dene
Steam Shipping Company of Newcastle,
the owners of the Heathdene and the Ivy
dene. The last namfd Is now at Seattle,
loading oats for China. The Ferndene Is
commanded by Captain Fisher.
May Boycott Ocean Monarch.
TACOMA. Wash., April 4. The Lon
shoreman's Union of Tacoma Is likely
to boycott the steamer Ocean Monarch,
whose cargo has been partially loaded In
Seattle by non-union men. Vice-President
Carey, of the International Union, ar
rived in Tacoma Saturday night from
Portland, and has been busy since dis
cusaing the situation with the longshore
men here. The trouble arose over the
cutting down of wages in Seattle by Mc-
Cabe & Hamilton, the stevedores. They
formerly paid 55 cents an hour for load
ing barley, and it is claimed that they
reduced the pay to 40 cents an hour with
out first giving the men notice. The long
shoremen claim that there Is no strike,
but simply a shutout. Officials of the
stevedore company say that the cut was
caused by competition. Other stevedores
nre only paying 40 cents an hour, and It
was impossible for McCabe & Hamilton
to continue paying 55 cents.
