Those hot-hitting Seals of Uncle Hank Harris took the double-header from us today and also the series. The morning game was a shine, and the home fans should throw it out. Bill Esslck started as the box artist, but he had a stitch In his side as big as a stitch In a pair of overalls, and. although he did his best. he was touched up for Ave hits In the sec ond Inning that, with a base on balls and a batter hit by a pitched ball, counted for six runs. With this big lead .Jimmy St. Vrain was sent to the firing line. He started off well, but he blew up. and before It was lunch time it was only a question of how many runs the Seals w:ou!d make. As it was. they clouted both Eseick and St. Vrain for a total of 19 hits, strung through which were a couple of corking twn-ba carers. Miller, who (pitched the after-breakfast engagement, was also lambasted some. Runkle and Schlafly getting a couple of double sackers, but thev did not count like those made oy the Seals. This is enough said about the morning game, unless I might add that the baseball that the Giants put up was about the worst exhibition they gave this vcar. The matinee was a case of whitewash, with James Whalera as the master painter. This pitcher, the one that the "gang" calls "Chlmmy De Whale," will rPT his trimmings soon. With the close of today's game Whale has pitched 47 Innings without a score being made against him. and he has five shut-outs to his credit. The reason I say he will get his cloutings is because he Is a ro eu.e-iipjjm juuih x. , " " I bandmaster. Some day his team-mates won't be working behind him In such brilliant fashion as they did in the two names that he was able to win from Portland. Bert Jones pitched for us in the matinee game. He was a bit wild, but he evened un his wildness by his steadiness at crit leal times. For seven innings he held the Seals safe. In the eighth chapter "Tub" Wheeler, pitcher, cry-haby. and come times utility" man, who had taken Mohler's place at second, hit for two bases. Spencer's fluke single that bound ed over JoneB head sent him to third, and ho scored on Hildebranfi's long fly to Householder. The second run came home when Nealon singled Tuesday Portland will try conclusions with Oakland for a week across the bay. The score: Moraine Game. PORTLAND. AB. R. H. P.O. A.

CREW GOES SOUTH Will Row California and Stanford- Return Race at Seattle. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Seattle, April S. (Special.) Coach Knight left with the University rowing crew for San Francisco yesterday. On April 15 "Washington will meet the university of California, while In the week iouowing the local men will In all probability com pete -with Stanford. The race is taking place mucn sooner than was anticipated by the university men. i$ut wnen ueneraa manager .vana made his trip south he found that it would be necessary to have a race in Cal ifornia if he was to be able to have the Southerners come north later in the sea eon. The California boys said that It would be impossible to keep up the Inter est In the sport at their college unless a collegiate race was pulled oft at home this Spring. It was agreed, however, that tne race to decide the series, and the one which will decide who is the winner of the Llppy cup, will be tne one neia in ceaiue, on Lake "Washington, about May 25. At the latter race both the universities of Stanford and California will enter Ireshmen and 'varsity crews. At the com ing race on April 15, however, Stanrord has refused to enter a crew on account of the race taking place at the Oakland Estuary. The course is hard to row over. and unless a crew is used to the tides and weather conditions, it Is almost Im possible for It to compete against the Cal ifornians, who row over the course In their regular practice. Washington con sented to have the race at Oakland in order to keep up the present aquatic re lations. Stanford does .not object to a race on somo neutral water, and in all probability "Washington will meet her the week fol lowing the race with the university or California. The men -who are to represent Washing ton in the race on next Saturday are: Dan Pullen (captain), stroke: Fred Tllton. No. 2: Orln Crlm, No. 3. and Richard GIous- ter Ko. 4, bow. All arc new men with the exception or iTiuen, wno nas Deen . member of the crew for the past two years, dim and UioU3ier nave nereio- fore been candidates lor crews, out nave never succeeded In getting a place In the boat. Tllton is a freshman and has never been in a boat before this year. The coach, however, believes that by the end of the season he will prove the strongest man the university has ever had on a crew. Fred McElmon. who has rowed on two of "Washington's 'varsity crews and was captain of the football team last Fall, has only been turning out for the past ten days, and was not able to get Into shape for the coming race, but he will undoubt edly be on the crew when the big regatta with Stanford and California comes on in Seattle in May SCHILLERS WIN THE GAME. Defeat East Siders by Score of Nine to Eight. Those hungering baseball fans who Jour. neyed out to Twenty-fourth and "Vaughn streets yesterday and were courageous enough to brave the cold wind that blew across the diamond were rewarded by game played between the Schlllers and the East Portlands. While the nine in nings were productive of the close' score of 9 to 8 in favor of the Schlllers, this tally does not by any means tell the ex act standing of the game. In those nine Innings there were mixed up hits, errors, good playing, bungling, stolen bases and dumb plays, that gave to the game all the assortment and variety that could possibly be asked for In the National game. At the end of the fifth inning the game stood 2 to 1 In favor of the East Siders, but when they put Hunter In the box in the sixth, the Schlllers found him just to their liking, and when they got through with him in the- sixth, eight runs had been tallied against him. The East Side men came back with two runs In their half, and throughout the rest of the game lessened the advantage of their opponents until the score finished 9 to 8. Features of the game were the master ful style in which Umpire Ed Rankin delivered his famous "Ah! gwan an' sit down" to various players, and the quit ting of Colly Druhot in the eighth, after he had replaced Howard of the Schlllers In the box. Entries for Harlem Handicap. CHICAGO, April 9. The entries for the Harlem National Handicap, which has a value of $17,o00, were announced tonight.

Joshua Crane, of this city, the National court tennis cham pion, today met defeat at the hands of Charles E. Sands, of New York, In the final match of the singles National cham pionship tournament at the Boston Ten nis Club. The New York man took three out of the four stubbornly contested sets, the score being 6-4, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3. Vanderbllfs Marigold Wins. PARIS, April 9. W. K. Vanderbllfs Marigold, ridden by Ransch. the Ameri can Jockey, won the Blangy stakes at Long Champs today. ASSAULTED BY HIS BJVAL Young Gallant Rendered Unconscious by Foul Blow. Park Rinehart, of Portland, dared to call on a girl living on Hawthorne street last night and aroused the animosity of a young gallant living in that neighbor hood, who, he alleges, brutally assaulted him. About 11 o'clock last night Rine hart was standing on the corner of East Eleventh and Hawthorne streets waiting for the car, when a young man, whose dress betokened a gentleman, assaulted him without warning, knocking him to the pavement. After Rinehart had fallen to the ground unconscious, his assailant kicked him sev eral times and walked off with a gang of young men who were standing near by. 'why dldn t you finish him when you had him down?" asked one of the party as the unknown young man joined them. Rinehart regained his senses almost immediately and notified the police. He says the man who made the attack tried to kill him. If his assailant can be found, Rinehart says he will prosecute him to the full extent of the law. Ladles' Annex to Entertain.

STEAMER RUNS AGROUND CENTENNIAL ON BEACH AT MAR- ROWSTONE POINT. On Voyage From San Francisco She Piles Up at Full SpeedCrew and Passengers Still on Board. PORT TOWNSEXD, April 10. The steamer Centennial, Captain J. H. Pierce, bound from San Francisco to Seattle, ran aground tonight at 9:40 o'clock Just abeam ; of Marrowstone point. It was near high tide when the steamer struck and she went on at full speed. The place where she struck is thought to be fairly smooth bottom, but on ac count of the fact that It was so nearly high tide when she struck It Is thought that she will not be gotten oft without ! some trouble. At midnight the vessel was -still upright and. If any trouble arises, It will be through listing at the falling of the tide. There were about 65 passengers aboard HAS EVER PR ODUCED. and the crew numbered 47. They are still aboard. She has a light cargo, not more than 400 tons.

Peru is said to have paid about $150,000. A crew was sent from Peru to man the vessel, which will sail for Callao at once. FARMER'S VIEW OF SPLASH-DAK He Tells Other Side of Question Judge McBrlde Decided. GRAY'S RIVER, WASH., . 3. (To the Editor.) I have read In The Oregonlan Judge McBride's decision about the use of splash dams in the Ciatskanle River of Clatsop County, Oregon. We, the farmers of Wahkia kum County, Washington, are wonder ing if the farmer has any right at all to his land, which the logger and tim ber shark ought to respect, or are we entirely to depend on their mercy? Un fortunately, we are situated similarly to the farmers-of Clatsop County. The first argument by the Judge was that the small holders do not possess the means necessary to build loglng roads. and for that reason the logger should be allowed the use of rlvors and creeks to float the logs as Nature has pro vided. To that part we have no objec tion, but Nature has not provided any splash dams. The Judge must have had In mind the freshet they had at Hepp ncr nearly two years ago, when he says that a splash dam docs not do any more damage than a natural freshet of the same height. This is not at all accord ing to facts, for a splash dam causes the water to rise all at once and rushes logs and rocks and gravel and any thing movable down the stream until It gradually subsides, generally leaving the logs strewn along the banks or In piles, for the water of the next splash to out the banks behind the logs, but It affords the logger more room at his rolling tier. The Judge says that a splash dam brings the logsdown sep arated. That Is another error of the Judge's. A natural freshet Is caused by little creeks and brooklets from the mouth of a river to its head, thereby raising It gradually, and the logs far thest down will rise first and so on. Besides the current is nothing com pared to the current of a splash, be cause the latter rises differently from tho former. Any creek large enough to float a broom handle can be made to float sawlogs by building dams big enough to hold the water for splashing. Judge McBrlde says further that all streams are liable to damage tholr banks. To be sure! We have experi ence to that effect, and that is the rea son we do not want any freshets oft ener than we can help, for when we took the land we calculated only on natural freshets, which happen only about two or three times a year and not every day. In one place In our county they splashed twice a day, but at last the loggers found It too expen sive, for they had to pay for the dam age they did to the banks, and at 'last they built a railroad. Our State of Washington seems to have Judges pos sessed of more equity. We do not ob ject to floating logs on any streams whenever they can be floated by nat ural freshets. Thirty years ago next May I landed In Portland direct from the State of Illinois with the Intention of looking tor land suitable for farming. After looklnpr around I located where I now live. I found the land very good, I liked the climate, but found the land very hard to clear. I bought -'the land from the Northern Pacific Railroad for o an acre. Some years later that com pany lost right to the land by Congress forfeiting it and I bought the land from the Government at $1.25 an acre. Hundreds of others have had to do the same. Now, who have the best right to that land we or the logger? Another thing may be considered and looked Into by the General Government, as well as the state namely, that all streams nav igable for steamboats are our only prac ticable highways whereby we can send our produce to market, and consequently should not be destroyed. Any rise of creeks or rivers caused by a splash dam. i on account of the stronger current, oar rAD MARK m, sMmtrrmimm p m rn MADE FROM AND PACKED 60c ASK T. S.

STEAMER OREGON GETS IN. Ill-Fated Steamer Reaches Port From San Francisco. The Oregon tied up to the AInsworth dock at VAo o'clock this morning, after a quiet Journey from San Francisco. It has been only a few weeks since she caught lire off Crescent City and received about $25,000 worth of damage, besides a los3 of three times that much to the cargo. Crews of men were set to work on her in San Francisco, after she had been beached at Eureka, and afterwards taken to the lat ter place. She brought with her on her first trip since the accident Rear-Adirilral Louis Kempff, who has been commissioned to investigate the methods of the marine Inspection service. Captain Warner, of the Oregon, re marked when asked about the Are that it was not the kind of thing he would liko to have happen to him again. He said ne had -no fear for the safety of the passen gers, but he was afraid for a time that he might lose the ship. "Everything that would burn well was in that portion of the cargo which was afire," he said, "oil and oakum and things of that sort, and there was no telling but that gases might accumulate and blow up tho deck. However, that danger was not realized." In the Investigation after the Are it will be. remembered that the Inspectors not only cleared Captain Warner of any blame but passed the highest commenda tion on the heroic manner In whicli ho met the difficulties which confronted him, and to his presence of mind they attri buted the fact that one of the most horri ble disasters In marine history on this coast was averted. Rear-Admlral Kempff remained on board the Oregon for the night. PERFECTLY SWEET. Lovely Picture of Maternal Lova in Soul of Rabbit. Washington Post. Hitherto the Post has devoted Its rabbit literature to the presentation of that re markable animal's ferocious instincts and its extraordinary achievements In single combat with enemies of all kinds. There Is. however, another and a more engaging aspect of the rabbit which should not be overlooked by those who seek in the prop er spirit to understand its many-sided character. The esteemed Savannah Nows records an Instance which we here quote by way of Illustration: , "Mr. Brown Is the owner of a hlgh- rade hunting dog. whose kennel, fur nished with various bits of carpet to make warm bed. is In the back yard. One night not long ago Mr. Brown heard the dog yelping, but paid little attention to the matter. Next morning tne dog was found asleep on the piazza doormat. He couldn't be induced to go near the kennel. Mr. Brown Investigated. He found in the kennel a plump mamma rabbit and two of the cutost little baby rabbits in the world. Mrs. Cottontail had chased Bruno out and appropriated his house." Mr. Ernest Seton-Thompson or Is it Thompson-Seton? has already given us a picture of tho rabbit mother In her splen did fury, attacking and slaying a rattle snake which sought to lunch upon her off spring. There the rabbit was tho Incar nation of red battle and sicKening tieids of massacre. Tne Jumeniaes were maae to seem mere chattering shopgirls in com parison. Bellona took on the blushing timidity of a debutante, and Mrs. Carrie Nation, subjected to that contrast of fe male violence, would have been appraised as a meek, low-spirited chaperon. But, observe Molly Cottontail in this purely domestic light, as revealed by the ever esteemed and sympathetic Savannah News. Here we find only the provident and tender affection of tho progenitor.

With a family coming, this rabbit asked only for modest shelter peacefully ac quired. Did she attempt the life of Mr. Brown's hunting dog? A few hlndleg swats may have been necessary to effect Bruno's evacuation of tho kennel, but there was no bloodshed, no Injurious pur suit or persecution. Molly contented her self with kicking Bruno out, and then. In a spirit of the most forgiving amiability, proceeded to welcome her progeny to a new and interesting world. Beautiful Im pulse of maternity! Halcyon vanguard of a love too sweet for words! All this occurred In Bullock County, Georgia, named for the distaff side of President Roosevelt's ancestry. The facts are thoroughly authenticated. Mr. Brown Is a prominent and Influential citizen. His dog Is at once the pride and envy of the local hunters. And now the Brown fam ily, recruited from time to time by volun teers from the neighborhood, are paying tribute of milk and cabbage leaves, and custard, and so on, to the proud mother In temporary occupation of the kennel, while Bruno himself Is reconciled to the doormat as a makeshift couch. Let us drop the curtain on, this scene of almost Intolerable beauty!' How a Rattlesnake Strlkra. Pearson's. It may seem absurd to claim that there are cases where the bite of a rattlesnake Is not fatal. Yet, such have happened, and to understand these it is necessary only to understand the manner In which this reptile strikes. The spectacle of a rattlesnake at bay Is one a beholder never forgets. The great, long body lies colled Into atense spiral, the very embodiment of wicked ness. Poised in air, the white-bellied fore body is bent Into a horizontal S. rigid as an iron bar. Raised from tho middle of the spiral is the tall, quivering like a twanged banjo string and emitting a rat tle like steam escaping from the cock of a radiator, or like the sounl of a mowing machine In a distant hayflekL Awe-In- spirlng. the dread, flat, triangular head, eyes gleaming black and cold as Icy steel, 13 ready to strike.
