S OKUID'S WEEK
Commuters Will Play Giants
on Local Diamond.
THREATEN TO TAKE GAMES
Four New Men Are to Appear With
the Athens' Nine and Four
Old Ones Are SJated
to Go.
"Pop" Van Haltren and tho Oakland
bunch of Commuters -will open up today,
a -week's series with McCredie's Giants,
or ag they are now called, after the loss
of six straights to the Angels, Pigmies.
This will mark the second appearance of
the Oaklanders In Portland this season.
On their last visit they failed to annex
a game, having dropped all Ave of the
games played that week, but this time
they claim that the least they get
is an even break, fqr several new men
are to join thorn In this city.
Among the new men signed by the
Oakland team is a third baseman, which
probably means the retirement of "Brick"
Devoreaux, . one of the most popular ball
tossers that ever donned a uniform on
the coast Devereaux Is a good ballplayer
today, but the Oakland management Is
said to desire a change of faces and the
retirement of the "Red Top" is In line
with that policy. This player will not
be long Idle for several clubs In this
league could use him to advantage right
now. He may be a weak man with the
Ptrlck, but there are few men In the
league who can field that difficult corner
In the manner In which Bill Devereaux
performs. Another feature of the ".Red
Dog's" work is the fact that he puts
more ginger Into the game than any
other man In the league, and his comical
antics on the side lines have furnished
many a laugh to the fans, with whom he
Is vastly popular. Devereaux would find
a royal welcome among the fans of this
city should Manager McCredie pick him
up If he geta his conge from the Oak
land management.
Strclb Slated to Go.
Another player on the Oakland payroll
who is said to be slated for release is
Julie Strelb. Strclb Is another weak man
with the stick, but his fielding around
the first sack Is on a par with that of
any othor man at that position In the
league. Just who the other men to go
are is not known definitely, but as there
are four new men to Join the club, two
more will be released.
Portland will also have a couple of new
men In lino before the week Is out. for
1 Infielder Sweeny 'Is due in a couple of
days and Pitcher Henderson will report
to McCredie on the first of the month.
Sweeny Is a youngster who was given
a trial by the Cleveland club while Man
ager Lajolo was on the disabled list, and
made a fine showing. Henderson Is the
pitcher Rubs Hall had on his Seattle team
for a tryout last Spring and released
without much of a trial. He went to the
Southern league where he made good,
and Is at liberty now on account of the
yellow lever epidemic which necessitated
the transferring of several of the clubs
and the reduction of the playing staff.
Oakland "Versus Portland.
Oakland and Portland will play this
afternoon. The game starts promptly at
3:20 o'clock. slck will pitch for Port
land and Graham for Oakland. "Slats"
Davis, who has officiated as umpire here
during tho past three weeks, left Sun
day night for San Francisco and will
work -there during the next few weeks.
Jim McDonald, the veteran umpire, whose
return to the game gave so much satis
faction to the fans all over the circuit,
win probably officiate here during the
week. McDonald Is by long odds the
most popular umpire that ever handled
an Indicator In the Coast League and his
assignment to this city is appreciated
by the fans as well as by the players.

It Is flrst-class. perfect, always In splendid -working order, and probably the best general use
rifle, the world ever saw. The Government made It for Its soldiers, and Uucle Sam never supplies
his Qghters with second-class firearms. It was supplanted by another rifle because the Government
believed that a new Invention of smaller caliber might possibly be more effective, and always de
termined to have the best that can be made, these rifles were thrown upon tho market and I se

use by the scouts and constabulary of the Philippine Islands, which Is sufficient proof that there Is
nothing better for the hunter, ranchman, sportsman or for home protection, and at $2.75 Is certalnly
cheap enough that one may afford to have the gun ever standing In the corner ready for the pro

Cummins Answers Shaw About
Reciprocity.
WHENCE HE GOT QUOTATION
Ex-Governor's Chicago Speech Based
on Excerpt Made by Shaw's
Ally From Shaw's Own
Speech at Banquet.
DES MOINES, la., Aug. 23. Governor
A B. Cummins today made public his
reply to the letter of Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw, who criticised him for
misquoting the Secretary in his speech
before the Chicago reciprocity conven
tion. Governor Cummins shows that ho
said the quotations were from an edito
rial In the Des Moines Dafiy Capitol,
whose editor attended the banquet of
Des Moines bankers, where Mr. Shaw
made the address, and which Is a warm
supporter qf the Secretary. The -letter
follows:
"I have the honor to acknowledge your
letter of the 26th Inst., In which you
challenge a statement that I recently
made in an address delivered before the
National Reciprocity Conference, at Chi
cago. The statement Is as follows:
"The Secretary of tho Treasury. In a
speech recently delivered In Des Moines,
is reportea as saving tnat tne explana
tion of the refusal of the Senate to con
sider the French treaty Is that It glvea.
everytnmg to trance and nothing to the
United States. I must do him the Justice
to believe that he never read the treaty,
for otherwise ho has committed a grave
onense against the proprieties or ueoatc.
Admits Quotation Correct.
"The quotation is accurate. I made the
statement. You say respecting it:
"I know that I did not say It or any
thing that c6uld be so Interpreted, but I
was not ao sure about the report. The
occasion was an Informal luncheon, and
the tipeech was Impromptu, though not
extemporaneous.
"You further say:
"Knowing, therefore, that you would
not vlolato the proprieties of debate by
quoting me without authority as having
made a specific statement, I write you
to inquire whdre you saw the report of
my speech as given in your Chicago ad
dress. I have not seen It. and I wish to
correct the record as soon as poselble.
"I am sincerely gratified to know that
you deny having made the statement, for
it was impossible for me to reconcile it
with the truth; and I am not less grat
ified to be given the opportunity to advise
you of my authority for Imputing the
sentiment to you. You may be against
the French treaty, and I may be for It,
but you can no moro afford to mislead
the public concerning its provisions than

speech here), you will find a long edi
torial entitled 'Secretary Shaw.' It deals
wholly with your speech of the day be
fore. I quote that part of It upon which
I relied in my address at Chicago:
"In his own original way he drove home
certain facts that will be remembered.
He exposed the French treaty In all Its
deformities, demonstrating that we were
onrerlng Fiance a tremendous oargain
and getting practically nothing In return.
'If this be not a sufficient basis for
the statement I made In Chicago, I have
yet to learn the meaning of the common
est words of my mother tongue. La Fay
ette Young, tho editor of the Des Moines
Capital, was present at the luncheon and
heard your speech.. He is your present
friend and ally. He Is in sympathy with
your views. He Is himself a speaker of
wonderful power, and knows what words
mean. He writes constantly concerning
the tariff and reciprocity, and could not
have been mistaken with respect to the
conclusion of your argument-
'When he wrote In his vivid and strik
ing way that you 'exposed the proposed
French treaty In all Its deformity, dem
onstrating that we were offering France
a tremendous bargain and getting prac-
tlcaly nothing in return.' it was not pos
sible for me to doubt that you had said
what he had imputed to you. I know
that ho could easily misunderstand me,
but It Is Incredlblo that he should mis
understand you.
"Following your example. I will hand a
copy of ray reply to tho newspapers at
the time I mair this letters. With high
regard, I am, yours very truly.
