Under the shadow of the old exposition building the Giants fell upon the Oaklandites and chewed them to the tune of 4 to 3. It may have been the new grounds, it might have been the fact that the Giants were in Portland again, and it possibly was the fact that everything that wears a Portland attachment is taking a brace and getting ready to show people things when the Exposition opens. There was a twlrler named Esslck who yesterday dished out a mass of enigmas in the shape of bewildering balls. That boy Eseick forgot yesterday that he was attached to a bad-luck contingency and played ball from the starting flag to the home stretch. Eight other gentlemen dressed in abbreviated trousers and shirt sleeves were at that boy Essick's back to jee that he didn't take any back talk from the other side. There was no back ilk; the Commuters didn't have time to give any. Early In the game, when every one remembered that they were used to play ing In bad luck, this selfsame Essick got himself in a hole. The Commuters had a gentleman on the slab who goes by the name of Mo6klman and doesn't care who knows it. He saw Esslck get himself into a hole, and he followed suit. Essick thereupon climbed out of the hole and got on an elevation and crowed. The gentleman inside the Oakland uniform attempted to follow suit once more, but every time he got to the edge Essick shoved him back and forgot to beg his pardon. That was all there was to the fight; Esslck beat Moskiman out of the hole. Multnomah Field, the substitute scene of -conflict, was suited to the slaughter. The infield Is fast, and the old Exposition building looms up on the skyline Just to remind McCredle's men that they are ex pected to do their duty. Some hundreds of the old guard assembled yesterday to see the gladiatorial contest. As the game progressed, their faces, long-drawn-out, broke into smiles; hats went into the air, and a committee was appointed to visit Big Chief McCredie and demand what he meant by shocking the assemblage by taking scalps. In the first round things looked black for the braves of Big Chief McCredie. The Commuters thought things were to be as before, and dashed a couple of men across the plate without asking permis sion. In the second round another man was pushed across the last sack before any one got next to what was going on. Then the Giants got mad and began to froth at the mouth. They charged unex pectedly and pushed a man across the sack themselves. Schlafly got soaked by a brutal twlrler and walked to first. The big chief struck out, and while he was doing -it Schlafly got to second and won dered how it happened. Then the Com muters got excited, juggled the ball In the vicinity of first for a time, and finally hurled it toward the man behind, but Schlafly beat it and went to the bench for refreshments. The old guard took off Its specs and gave a war whoop. In the third the Giants got a half-nelson on the Commuters and refused to let go until the Oaklandites called it off. Then Atz walked to first, got bunted to second, pushed on to third by Eddie Householder, and scored on a long drive by Brave Schlafly. The old guard had a spasm and began to climb from the bleachers to get nearer the firing line. Until the sixth the Giants amused them selves by chasing shadows across- the field. Then they settled down again. They looked at the perspiring Moskiman on the pitcher's slab and they straight way chuckled to themselves. Then they did things to him. Big Chief McCredie landed one in the lft garden. McLean gave his life for his chief, and the chief went down to second without a grunt. A Commuter stopped long enough to spec ulate on whether a baseball is an exact sphere, and while he speculated McCredie hopped to third and sat down on the sack worse than a man with a chattel mortgage. Runkle smashed the sphere and McCredie hoofed it. The ball came back to the last sack with a zip. but the dp came after the big chief had crossed The square. ' Things were even then, but the Giants were not satisfied. They had tasted b-l-o-o-d! They wanted a full-sized drink of it, and they took it in the course of events. In the seventh Van Buren walked to first because the man on the pitcher's slab couldn't see the plate. A Commuter tried to hit the clouds with the ball and allowed Van Buren to get halfway around the track. Householder bunted a bunt and Van Buren bunted himself to third. Then Schlafly came to the bat. He spat upon his hands, bespattered them with mud. looked Moskiman In the eye and bade him beware. Moskiman said he wasn't afraid, and hurled a hot one straight at the sack. It sailed the other way as Schlafiy's bat made the arc. and landed far enough away from civilization to score Van Buren and net Schlafly three sacks. For two more Innings the Com muters strained themselves to get loose. but failed to accomplish much, and the old guard walked from the grounds in a stupor. The mortality list: PORTLAND.

By a. a. G. 1 THE largest Indian now In captiv ity, If the press agent Is to be be lieved, sat on a cheap bed In a cheap lodging-house yesterday after noon and 'declined to be Interviewed. He had a grouch on commensurate with his size, which is seven feet as to height and 450 pounds in the matter of weight. Thi6 Injun, who rejoices In the name of John Mlddlesky, wants to be a prize fighter, at least bis managers want him to be one. I wonder why. said I to Middlesky and received no answer. For the big Injun wouldn't talk to roe. His managers, two dapper young- men from San Francisco, whom I met at the Eaton, told me on the way down to the lodging-house, where the freak was being herded, that he could talk four languages, Mexican, two Indian dialects and homespun English. Fancy my dis appointment -when, upon being- shown Into the room where the seven-foot 400-pound aspirant for ring honors sat, to find that a large-sized "grouch had settled 'down upon him and instead of the ready linguist I had expected I found a mammoth human animal who was averse to articulating In any tongue whatever. "Stand up. Jumbo, and shake hands with the gent," was the way in which one of the managers opened the mat inee and "Jumbo" obediently stood up in all his obese majesty, extracted a John Cudahy ham, which he uses for a hand, from a capacious pocket, and wagged my arm to and fro. Kipling has Interviewed plledrivers anl steam dredges, but say, Rudyard never -went against anything- like John Mlddlesky. Do you think he answered my greet ing? Well, I guess not. He reached down and enfolded my delicate fairy hand and for a moment I was afraid the rude creature "was going- to accost me. But he didn't. I S3 Id something to him. It was not "Webslerian, but it seemed appropriate but he muttered not a grunt. I sat down on a dissipated-looking chair and gave it up. "I can't talk to him. He's too proud and haughty for me," was my com plaint to the managers. "You told me he talked four languages. Now let's see him perform." The manager was vexed. "Durn him" he didn't really say durn "he always does that way when we want him to be sociable. He's Icind as a child and a perfect gentleman gen erally until we want him to talk for the papers. Then he gets sore and won't say a word." The impressarlo turned again to his charge. "Jumbo, tell this man something about yourself." Still never a mutter from Poor Lo. . Here was a novelty and a diversion. I thought of the serried and sometimes inebriated ranks of the famous who had opened their hearts to me, told me their names and admitted their great ness, but this simple aborigine, -who got "sore" at the sight of an inter viewer and simply ossified, interested me. For the purpose of making conversa tion I Inquired the size of his biceps but no one present knew what that was and I was compelled to ask the dimensions of his right arm. They told me it was eight feet long, or something like that and I believed. I was also Informed that he Is a full blooded Cocohpaw Indian, of a tribe that is supposed to inhabit the' wilds of Mex ico, and that for ten years last past he has been a policeman on the Tuma reser vation. During that time his achieve ment was the arrest of five belligerent Yumas, after a struggle In which he de feated the five, l Dcuevca mat, aiso. Furthermore. he is 29 years old, and is to be pitted against James Jeffries, the ac tor, for the championship or the worm. Why. I don't know. Once In a sideshow there was a fat lady who tilted the beam at 700 pounds, but even at that early day no one thought of matching her against the champion for pugilistic honors. But the Injun Is big. ergo he must be a great prizefighter. If I were Jeff I'd draw the color line, or pull the big dub's long, greasy hair, -which hangs In ropc-Uke strands down his back. After Ineffectual efforts to persuade the unmanlcured Hiawatha to perform, Mr. Pierce, that was one of the managers, SCORE BT INNINGS.

Los Angeles and Tacoma fought out another long con test today, the home team winning In the last half or the 15th Inning. Both Hall and Fltz pa trick pitched a magnificent game. Although Tacoma made four more hits than Los Angeles, two of them two baggers, and played errorless ball throughout the entire 15 innings, they lost by being unable to bunch their hits.
