The team is a bit out of condition, out at that Manager McCredie feels that It will only take about another week before he will have it in shape. He Is going to order Jay Hughes to report on his arrival in San Francisco, and unless President Bert steps In and prohibits Hughes from playing, he will pitch his flr6t game for the Giants next Sunday. Hughes Is determined to sue the Seattle club for keeping him out of the game. Manager McCredie is going to try to per suatie him from doing this. Manager McCredie would have had Jay Hughes in uniform long before this but for one of the Siwash moguls, Phil F. Kelley. who seems to be the Seattle lighting magnate, and has been blocking the Hughes deal for all he is worth. McCredie says that Cohen and Agnew have been willing to settle the Hughes matter, but that Kelley has held out for more money than McCredie feels that he can afford to pay for the big twlrlen McCredie is dickering for a third base man. He has three in sight and ju6t as coon as he and the managers of -any of these three men can come to terms he will have a new thlrdsacker. Runkle, owing to the fact that things have been breaking bad for him at the bat. has sort of lost his grip and has not been playing the game that he Is capable of putting up. Runkle's slump in batting has af fected -his fielding and he has got to the point now where ne is afraid to take a chance. French Getting in Condition. Win French, since he pitched one whole game, has found that his arm is round ing into shape. McCredie is greatly pleased over this fact and hopes that he will bo able to pitch him In a couple of games while at San Francisco. Bert Jones wrenched his back in one of the Seattle games, and although he pitched one game against Tacoma, his back Is still bothering him a great deal. Ely Cates illness was one of the things which crippled the team on its recent trip away from-home, more than any of the local fans know. Cates Is still in the hospital and it is a question whether he will be of any use to the team again this sea son. Manager McCredie is not taking any chance-either on having Hughes or of having Cates back in the game and hashis wjres out for some more pitchers. The other day he received a telegram from Hickcy. who was one of Dugdale's star box artists. Hlckey Is pitching for Cleveland and Is dissatisfied. He wrote to Manager McCredie. saying that he would like to be given a chance to play with Portland, and McCredie has wired him for his terms. With the rest of the team Manager Mc Credie seems satisfied. He believes that . when he has third base strengthened ho will have an infield that Is as strong as any In the league. The Giant man ager is delighted with the game that Jakey Atz is putting up at short, -and declares him to be the fastest shortstop in the league. Atz' work has demanded very favorable notices from the baseball critics both at Seattle and Tacoma, and they cannot understand why it Is that Jakcy is at the bottom of the list of shortstops. This is easily explained. Atz never loafs while he Is in a game. He is after everything that comes his way. An error to him does not keep him from going after the next ball that is hit In his territory. He Is not looking after his individual average. He's out to win games. He has been compelled to cover a great deal more territory than any shortstop In the league, more especially since Runkle has been so sadly oft In his' game. Schlafly Nearly Well. Larry Schlafly has his bruises and cut about cured, and both at bat and at the keystone sack Is beginning to play up to his last year's form. Big McLean Is still playing the same brilliant game be hind the bat as he did while here. He has been hitting the ball as hard as ever, but has been robbedof many a long drive by some great fielding on the part of the opposing teams. Manager McCredie says that Mitchell. If he keeps on Improving as he lias during the past week, will do. He is still hobbling about first base on one leg, but McCredie says he has been fielding his position, in spite of this handi cap, in grand style. He has also been hitting the ball well, considering that he ha"s to stand on one peg -while swinging at the balL The Giants are still laughing at the home run Garvin made at Tacoma. "When Marse Garvin kited the ball over the "garden wall he was the most surprised man on the grounds. After lamming the ball "Virgil dashed intd first base wnn the speed of a man fleeing from a col lector. Just as he struck the bag, Xor dyke cooly remarked. "She's over the fence. Garve." The Information so shocked the lanky Texan that he looked in the direction the ball "had gone and just saw it as it was dipping over the fence. Then he stopped dead still. His mouth opened so wide that a green botue fly fell into the opening and Garvin swallowed it just as he would a cherry. When h started again he almost fell down, for sheer Jey of knocking out a home run. The wallop pleased Garvin o much that he offered Mlque Fisher $5 for 'the ball. Fisher wasted JS.7S and Garvin wouldn't come through with the bargaln-ceuater price. Both Van Buren arid Eddy Houeehoider have-bees piaythg goed -b&llt B&d McCredie thinks that if he can do as well down South aa he did at Seattle and Tacoma, he will, whenjie gets his new third baseman, still have a chance to get into the first division. On the same train that brought the Giants to Poland was the Tacoma team. They go to Los Angeles for a series with the Angels. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Boston 2, 'Cincinnati 1.

Mitchell Says He Will Tut Up For feit for a Fight. VANCOUVER, B. C. May 15.-(Speclal.) Charlie Mitchell, the veteran prize fighter, arrived here this evening from San Francisco. When in Tacoma yester day he saw F. Hall, manager for John L. Sullivan. Hall eaid he was prepared to place $10,000 to bind a fight between Sulli van and Mitchell. "I'm willing to put up 51000," Mitchell said, "that Sullivan will not fight," T. J. Consldlnc was with the party and he Immediately offered to sign a check for $10,000 to bind the match, thereupon Hall backed down. "'I'm afraid 1 have gone too far on my own account," he said, "and will have to see Mr. Fulllvan before I take definite action." "I told liim," Mitchell said, "that I would be in Seattle again on Thursday after 1 got through at Vancouver, and if Sullivan wanted to fight the whole mat ter could bo settled then and there. The insinuations made by Sullivan have been so base that I could not stand them any longer. I have always regarded his talk of flghtng with me as a bluff, and I am prepared to go right ahead and meet him in a month for any sum." JEFFRIES' MOTHER IS PLEASED Pugilist Son Will Build JNear the Home Place. LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 15. (Spe cial.) Jim Jeffries' brothers and moth er are pleased over the announcement of his 'declsloa- to withdraw froni the fighting ring. They have urged this on him for some time, and declare that he has held the championship against all claimants and he can now retire- with honor. Father Jeffries is in Australia, where he has been for the past five months, on a preaching tour. The mother of the boys is at the old home place, and the homecoming of Jim is to her a source of much pleasure. But, best of all, is the thought that he has -decided to settle down and make his home beside her. It is said that Jim Jeffries will erect a beautiful residence for his own home on the "Bench," which lies to the north west of the old family place.

IS BEST BULL TERRIER Frank Watkln's Edgccote Peer Proves the "Winner of the Coast at Victoria, Portland and San Francisco. The half-dozen Portland dogs which have been making the tour of the Pa cific Coast bench shows will arrive from San Francisco this morning. None of them went to Los Angeles, the last show of the season. Earlier In the season these dogs made some good records on the Sound, but what the breeders wanted was to win In San Francisco, and they succeeded. The San Francisco bench show Is considered In point of excellence second only to New York. These and other local dogs will probably be placed on exhibition at the Fair In a bench show, the details of which are yet to be arranged. If this takes place, they will have a wide competition, but hardly wider than at San Francisco. All the Portland dogs were very favor ably commented upon In San Francisco, and when Edgccote Peer, Frank Watkln's bull terrier, was declared the best boll terrier In the show, the crowd cheered. TI1I3 dog was also first In the open and winners" classes at Victoria. Portland and San Francisco. He can easily claim to be the best bull terrier on the Coast now. Watklns Willamette Sunbeam, a puppy bitch, would probably have won In her class. If she had not died from pneumonia contracted at Seattle. At both Van couver and Victoria she won first In the open and winners', and at Seattle first In the puppies and winners'. She was only 9 months old. She was commented upon In Eastern dog papers as the most beautiful puppy bull terrier in the country. The Brierdale Kennels, raising airedales, won all there was to be won with Lady Alice. She was first In the winners at Seattle, Portland and San Francisco, making -her an American Kennel Club champion. F. J. Moorf's Woolton Bang, an old time winner in the pointer class, was first in the winners and specials . at Seattle and Portland, but did not go to Cali fornia. E. F. Willis cocker spaniels made a clean sweep also. The black one. Mapal Saxon, had honors heaped upon him in San Francisco. He was first In the win ners and was given a special prize for the best black cocker in the show. At Vancouver he was similarly honored and at Seattle, but he was only second In Victoria and Portland, having two pf the best dogs in the country against him. Portland Kid. Willis other cocker, is now a double champion. He was first in the winners and was given a special for the best partl-colored cocker. He was also given a special for the best of any breed belonging to a member of the Can adian Kennel Club and another special for the best American-raised dog. He carried everything away before him at Vancouver and is a C. K. C. as well as an A. K. C champion. At Portland he took first In the winners and special for the best cocker, but at San Francisco he was only second, being defeated by a New York dog sent out to the show. Dog fanciers pass upon a judge Just as they do upon a dog. The Portland fanciers were naturally very well satisfied with the decisions obtained, though they believe they hardly got all they deserved at Se attle. The judges were: At Vancouver. B. C. JJajor J. M. Taylor, of New Tork; at Victoria. E. M. "Burke, of New York; at Seattle, John J. Lynn, of Port Huron, Mich.; at Portland and San Francisco, Thomas Ashton, of Leeds, England. CREW OF QUAND ME5IE SAVED French Destroyer Itcscues All on Board, hut Boat Sinks. PARIS. May 15. The Minister of Marine has received a dispatch announcing the torpedoboat-destroyer Arbalctc has ar rived at Cagllari, Sardinia, towing the nutoboat Quand Meme. having on board her owner, the Duke Decazes and all the crew of the racer. Quand Meme led the racers from Port Mahon, Island of Minorca, until about 50 miles outside of Toulon, when the storm blew her back over the same course she had taken. The rescue of the Quand Meme closes the con test without loss of life, but with only two of the seven starters afloat. Further advices received by the Minis ter of Marine show that the crew of the Quand Meme were saved, but that the boat Itself was abandoned. The commander of the Arbalite tele graphs that he has all the members of the crew on board the destroyer, but that he was unable to bring the Quand Meme to port, as heavy seas swept over the autoboat last night, repeatedly snapping the towline and making it impossible to tow her. The Duke Decazes was among those rescued. THE DAY'S HORSE RACES. At' Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, May 15.

TELEPHONE IW CORN BELT Quiets Baby, Spreads Fire Alarms and Announces Trains. m World's Work. Nearly every day some one invents or discovers a new use for the telephone. One day the girl at "central" received this message: "Hello! Say, Central, I have put the receiver of the 'phone in the baby's cradle, and if she wakes up and cries, call me up at No. 71." It must have been an unusually absent minded woman who eent In the message: "Oh, Central! Ring me up In 15 minutes, so that I won't forget to take the bread out of the oven." If some one finds It necessary to take a night train, the operator at the exchange will receive some such message as this: "Central, ring me up a half an hour be fore the 2:17 train In the morning. See If It's late before you call me, please." Go Into the exchange during a "rush period" say at 9 o'clock In the morning and you will see the telephone girl stand up, push her chair into a corner and "throw" the plugs with which connections are made as fast as her arms can fly, for an hour at a stretch. All she will have time to say to you will be, "Every woman In town Is ordering things for dinner." There are about 30 subscribers' who are called regularly every morning by the telephone instead of by an alarm clock. The "central" girl Is supposed to know the time of all railway trains, and If a train happens to be late, how many min utes behind time. She la often asked the time of day, because some one has let the clock run down. When there Is an alarm of fire, '"central" Is supposed lo know whero it Isl The crrhanro lo across the street from the flrehouse, and nre alarms are often telephoned In to the saving of valuable time. v Toward the end of a long, cold drive oi a raw Autumn day I was met at the gate by a farmer friend with the words "Come right in.
