THE MORNING- OREG02n"IA2T, TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1905. OUT IN FIVE ROUNDS Stift Made Helpless by Gard ner's Punches. DOWN AGAIN AND AGAIN Chicago Man Proves Easy Game for ,LoweH.ite, Taking the Count Repeatedly to Delay the Inevitable. OGDEN. June 19. George Gardner, of Lowell. Mas., knocked out William Stift. of Chicago, in fte rounds at the Grand Opera-house here tonight. Gardner. although several pounds lighter than Stift. had the best of the contesit from the -tart, forcing the fight ing and keeping his opponent on the de fensive. In the first round Gardner got away from several vicious swings, which, if they had landed, would have probably put the New England man out. In the third Gardner floored his man three tiroes, the latter taking the count of nine seconds each time, and was saved from a knockout by the gong. The fourth found Stift clinching and holding on helplessly. Again the bell saved the Chlcagoan. In the fifth Gardner went at his man with renewed vigor, hammering him all o'er the ring. A left swing to the Jaw sent Stift under the ropes. He made a feeble effort to rise at the end of nine Meconds, but his handlers threw up the sponge. PACIFIC XATIOXAIi XEAKS EXD President Williams Looks for Substi tute for Ogden. in League. SPOKANE, Wash., June 19. With Pres ident C. H. Williams, of the Spokane baseball team, out of the city, the base ball situation here is all in the air. At 11 o'clock tonight all efforts to reach Wil liams were unavailing. Umpire MacRae left today for Boise to umpire the series between Spokane and Boise, so It seems probable the teams will not disband at present. But It seems to be accepted here that the Pacific National League is out of existence. One of the largest crowds of the year was present Sunday, and the sudden breaking up of the league is all the more mystifying. Inasmuch as all the players have been paid. What President Williams will do in Walla Walla and Pendleton to ward forming new clubs is problematical. The Spokane club played in Walla Walla touay. REDUCED TO TWO TEAMS ONLY Pacific "National League Gradually Diminishing to Nothing. SALT LAKE CITY. June 19. The Pa. clflc National Baseball League is down and out. Following the withdrawal of the Ogden team last night, owing to the inability of the club to meet expenses, the management of the Salt Lake club has decided to quit. Both the Ogden and Salt Lake teams were paid oft today and re leased. An effort will be made to secure employment for puch of the players as ran be kept In Salt Lake and Ogden and to arrange for a scries of games between the two towns, the players receiving the proceeds. It is stated that the Spokane and Boise teams probably will be held to gether until after the Fourth of July. OGDEN DROPS FROM LEAGUE Another Step Towards Break-Up of the Pacific National. The break-up of the Pacific National League by the withdrawal of Ogden Is an other step In the troublesome ladder of that league. It was only after a bitter fight with W. H. Lucas, now president of the Northwestern league, that the Pa clflc National was formed. Even then It was necessary for the P. N. L. to go on the outlaw list In order to have a league at all. Lucas, through the National Com mission, tried to prevent the old league doing business by getting the com mis slon to grant him territory taking in Spo kane. Boise, Salt Lake, Butte. Ogden, Helena and Great Falls. After a long' drawn-out squabble Lucas withdrew and formed a brush league on the Coast, and the P. N. L. scraped among the business . men for enough money to get the league warted. It entered the field with fair prospects of success with Spokane, Boise, Salt Lake and Ogden. But at no time was the league financially on Its feet. A second rate lot of players were signed, which dis gusted the fans who had been used to seeing better ball. The distance between Boise and Spokane and Salt Lake and Ogden from Spokane made traveling ex penses too great for the receipts. Lucas had many followers east of the xnouti tains, who were disgusted because he had been ousted from the presidency of the league. Williams of Spokane also had his enemies, and Rlshell, the successor of Lucas, was none too popular. The at tendance at the games, especially at Og den. was poor, and Spokane and Salt Lake were the only two that held up their end of the expense. Baseball will never be a success In that district with the class of ball furnished the public. Spokane will make desperate efforts to gain admission to the Pacific Coast League next year. Giants Against Slwashcs. McCredle and the Giants will arrive In Portland this morning, and great things are expected from them when they meet the northern Slwashes on the home grounds.
