Everybody came In. The Seals in the first brought a run In on a single and a bunt. Spencer making home on the throw to first. There were several other sensational plays. The pret tiest was when Walters threw Essick out from right field in tue eighth on a good smash. Kid Mohlcr's arm Is bad again, and he was on the bench.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 19. (Sporting Editor the Oregonian.) Hughes showed up yesterday, hurt his side, so is going liome today. Some more luck. W. H. M'CREDIE. Manager McCredle's telegram is cer tainly hard luck. The local manager was building high hopes on having Hughes pitch in tomorrow's game. It also shows that the hoodoo is still on the trail of the Giants. Last year Hughes hurt his side and was out of the game for a long time. Evidently this is the same old hurt. JI'CREDIE "WIMi IiOSE GARVIN lilltlo Rock Pulls String Which Draws Him Back. "SAN FRANCISCO. May 15. (Speclal.) Judge McCredie is on the verge of losing his best pitcher Virgil Garvin. Virgil came liere from Little Rock on Mac's promise that the Arkansas team could Jiave the goods returned on demand. Lit tle .Rock has Bent an order- for the long, lean and lanky twlrlcr. and. unless this league wants to start a basefeall-war back to the Southern circuit Garvin must pro ceed. Garvin has rounded into form, and the Coast will lose one of the best pitchers ever brought here if the Texan is taken from us. JAY HUGHES 3IAKES DEMANDS "Wants Eight AVceks Pay for Lost Time From McCrcdicT SAN FRANCISCO. May ID. Jay Hughes was Jn a Portland uniform before the game today, though he has not as yet signed a contract with McCredie. The two talked over terms, but failed to reach an agreement- It is understood that Hughes wants to be paid for all the time he has lost, which Is nearly eight weeks, and McCredie is quite willing to meet Jay's salary demands, "but will not agree to this one Item, which is no small one. McCredie will have another talk with the pitcher, and it is very likely that they will compromise matters some way. Hughes wants to pitch, and McCredie needs a pitcher badly. NATIONAL- LEAGUE.

Yachts Passed Light ship in Fog. ONEIDA TELLS POSITIONS Yacht Which Followed Fleet Says I Hamburg Led, With Atlantic Glose Second, amrAIIsa Far Behind, but Gaining. NEWPQRT, R. I.. May 19. No craft re scmbllng any of the fleet of 11 yachts sail ing from Sandy Hook to the Lizard for the trophy offered by-tne Emperor of Ger many has been sighted by the Nantucket lightship since last midnight, when a white, square-rigged vessel,' believed to be the Earl of Crawford's Valhalla, was seen, according to wireless messages re ceived at the station here during the day and tonight. . It Is believed that all of the yachts passed the lightship in the. fog that pre vailed yesterday and last night, and that the Valhalla was the last to pass. Tonight, at- 9:30 o'clock, there was a favorable breeze for the racers, and It was thought all of them were well on their trans-Atlantic voyage. The wind was blowing from the west at a velocity of 20 miles an hour, and the sea was rough. POSITION OF YACHTS THURSDAY Hamburg Led, Atlantic Close Be hind and Ailsa Distanced. NEW YORK, May 19. The German schooner Hamburg was leading the ocean race for the Kaiser's cup early Thursday morning, according to re ports brought In by the steam yacht Oneida, which followed the racers 130 miles out from Sandy Hook. A mile and a half behind the Ham burg; was the Atlantic, on the same tack, and footing at a great rate. Both boats were crowding on all the sail they could handle close-hauled, and were beating against the la-knot breeze blowing from the northeast. E. C. Benedict, owner of the Oneida, was on board, and when he headed back to New York at dawn Thursday the weather was so thick that nothing could be seen of the rther contestants in the trans-Atlantic race until 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when the Ailsa was sighted. She was only 75 miles out, and the Oneida was not able to learn what had delayed her. She appeared to be making good headway and to be driving hard to make up lost ground. The other vessels in the fleet scattered early in the race, and are probably hurrying in widely divergent courses. In the time elapsed from the start of .the race until the Oneida turned back the Hamburg and Atlantic had madrf good progress, footing fast all tha way. Both boats were admirably han dled, and took advantage of every pos sible point. The showing made ijy the Hamburg was a big- surprise to those watching her, and the opinion was expressed by the returning yachtsmen that if the German yacht and the Atlantic have equal luck with the weather, they will furnish as pretty a race as could be wished for, the Issue probably depend ing on the cholco of a course. Both are likely to go well to the north, chanc ing danger to the limit of reasonable safety, hoping to get strong winds in the northern circle. As to the Ailsa, it is surmised she must have met with an accident, hav ing made only 75 miles in 22 hours. Whatever the trouble was. it had been repaired, for no sign of disability was apparent to the Benedict party. Apache Makes Poor Progress. NEW YORK. May 19. Since leaving the starting line of the yacht race at Sandy Hook Lightship at 12:34 P. M. Wednesday, and until sighted by the Grofeer Kurfuerst at 10 P. M. Thurs day, the Apache had sailed a -distance of. approximately. -139 miles eastward. During this time she Tias averaged a little over 5.05 miles an hour. Con tinuing at this rate of speed, it would take her almost 245 days to cover tho distance between Sandy Hook and Lizard Head. IDAHO WINS TRACK MEET. Defeats Whitman in Fast Events by 64 to 58. "WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla. Wash., May 39. (Special.) At the close of tho most hotly contested track meet ever held here "Whitman went down to defeaCbefore tho University of Idaho this afternoon by the score of 64 to 5S. The re lay race was won by Whitman In the re markable time of 3:32, the winning team being Fanchcr, Graham. Cox and Hill. Murphy, of Idaho, was the chief point winner, scoring 23 In all. Cox did best for Whitman, getting first In tho 300-yard dash, in ten seconds flat, with a total of 35 points. Captain Hill, of Whitman, made a remarkable run In the quarter, breaking the local record In 51 4-5 sec onds. His right slioe was torn from his foot in the first hundred yards, and ho ran tho remainder of the distance with one shoe. The weather was ideal, but the crowd very small. BERKELEY HIGH WANTS MEET Challenges Portland High Scrfool in Track Events. SAN FRANCISCO. CaL, May 39. (Special.) A challenge for a dual meet at the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion at Portland this Summer has been sent by the Berkeley High School athletes to the Portland High School. The team is willing to make the trip provided half Its expenses are met by the northern school. This would be the first time in the West that a dual interstate meet has been ar ranged between High Schools, and it Is believed that the contest would attract great attention, particularly as Berkeley has a strong and well-balanced team, es pecially formidable in the relay race, which, it is hoped, will give the local men a chance to lower the Coast record. Other High Schooltcams are ready to go If In ducements are offered. WINNER OF 3IEET DOUBTFUL Dual Track and Field Events Be tween Oregon and Washington. "UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, May 19. (Special.) Interest is centering on tomorrow's dual track meet between Oregon and Washington. Oregon students generally believe that theyhome team" will win by a narrow margin of points. If Washington's work in the contest at Cor vallls yesterday can be taken as a cri terion, the evergreen team is" not as strong as the Oregon 'varsity. Trainer Haywooo expresses confidence In the home team. Oregea studeals believe that Moore' i can win the 160-yard and the 229-yard sprints and that Perkins will win an easy victory In the half-mile. Oregon also counts on winning the hurdle events and the discus throw, but indications are that McDonald, of Washington, will win the hammer throw and shot put. The mile run Is conceded to Washington, also the pole vault, but the high and broad jumps and 410-yard dash are counted as doubt ful events. The relay race Is also con sidered uncertain. The local 'varsity will have three men in every event, and as a consequence expects to win a majority of the second and third places. " The Seattle men arrived from Corvallls this atemoon and are In good condition for tomorrow's meet. Tonight the Oregon students arc participating in a general rally. A special programme has been car ried out. Including speeches by tho alumni and the kindling of bon fires. WEARS OUT HIS OPPONENT Jenkins Wins Matclt With Gotch After Extraordinary Bout. NEW YORK. May 39. A sensational fin ish to a most Interesting catch-as-catch-can wrestling match between Tom Jen kins, of Cleveland, and Frank Gotch, of Humboldt, Iowa, contested at Madison Square Garden tonight, resulted In a clean victory for Jenkins. The men went at each other in dog fashion, each worrying the other to the limit without transgressing thp rules. Jenkins was the heavier of the two by at least ten pounds, but, despite this advan tage, he was forced to assume the defen sive almost from the start. At Intervals Jenkins attempted to get the upper berth, but Gotch was too slippery, and finally got Jenkins almost constantly on the defen sive. Gotch, being the younger man. was the more strenuous, and he repeatedly put Jenkins in touchy positions, but whether he tried arm locks, arm holds, or half or quarter nelsons, Jenkins easily threw them off. and, finally gaining a neck hold with a halt crotch. Jenkins threw Gotch easily, the latter seemingly weakening un der the strain. From the moment the men met there was no Idleness. The men had WTestled 1 hour, 27 mlnutee and 35 seconds before Gotch, was thrown. Gotch won the second fall In 35 minutes and 23 seconds. The time of the third bout, won by Jenkins, was 11 minutes-and 10 seconds. THE DAY'S RACES. At Belmont Park. NEW YORK. May 19. Belmont Park race results: Seven furlongs Adbell won, Druid second.
