Yesterday they smeared a double coating of varnish on the Commuters, duplicating tbe triek of July 4th, when they blanked the Tigers twice. In addition to taking the two gamos from the leaders of the league, woo are no longer leaders be cause Portland by Its double victory toppled them off their lofty height, they took Jive out of the eight gamos that constituted tht scries. The morning game wont to the Giants S to I. Esstek beating Ham Iberg. The matinee wa a 5-to- score with Teddy Corbet t defeating the new Commutter recruit. Biexrud. Portland's two games were as pretty and fast as the most rabid fan could wish for. Sharp and perfect eld wore tho featuros of both engage ments. Atz, Schlaiiy and Mitchell were the bright and shining stars of the Port land JtVneld. In the morning game they made a rapid-fire double play and in the afternoon they completed three. Two of those started with Atz, going to Schlafly nnd closing with Mitchoil. Jakey Atz was also there in the blngle-fest that was held, la five times up during the after noon he hit safe four times and is cred ited wRh a sacrifice. Householder is an other Giant who whalod the bait. It re mained for Deacon Van Buren to break all previous records. Mow the Rod Bnteron can croak of "perfect home runs. Van clouted one that rolled to the center field fence and while Van Haltren and Kroger were trying to gather it In, Van Buren became a tourist and made the cir cuit of the bases. This is the second home run that Van Buren has made without driving the ball over the fence during the Oakland series. Van Buren, Mitchell and Householder fell upon Ham Iberg in the first inning. It was Eddy Householder's hit that scored Van Buron and Mitchell. After this Inning there was nothing doing until the eighth inning. Mitchell walked, an error and a single scored him. While all this was going on big BUI Bssick attended to the visitors. In tho fifth lning Van Haltren's colts got very busy with Bill's offerings and they presented four hits for collodion. Fast fielding and poor base running cut them off without a run. Jimmy McHale was also a star performer. Mis right wing morgued two Commuters at the plate. The white-haired boy from Iowa, Biex rud, again came in for a trouncing at the hands of the Giants. Jakey Atz was the flrst slugger to straighten one of his benders. There was nothing forthcoming In the run column, however, until he walked Conrad In the third inning. With Corbett layed away in cold storage, Atz and Van Buren both singled, scoring Con rad. Portland skipped the fourth. In the fifth Corbett singled and Van Buron's homer scored him. Two bad infield wobbles and Atz's third blngle were good for two more runs. This made five and enough, but Just to save Biexrud from further injury. Devereaux was roused from his slumbers on the bench and again took fce center of the stage. Oak land became dangerous in the eighth. A double play killed its men off and Just to add a second double for good measure another was thrown in in the ninth. The scares: Morning Gome. PORTLAND.

JEFFRIES WANTS S20Q0 SENDS TERMS FOR REFEREEING B R 1TT-NELS ON GO. Nolan Says That Lets tho Big Fellow Out, and Slier Will Pre side at the Ring. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 4. Late to night Manager Co ff roth received word from Jeffries that he would reforeo the fight for $2000. Nolan, the manager of Nelson, thereupon announced that the price fixed by Jeffries was exorbitant, and that therefore the champion was out of the question as referee for the fight next Saturday. Nolan further said that Jeff was Brltt's choice, and Inasmuch as Jef fries has put himself out of the field, the referee would naturally fall to the choke raade by Nelson, namely, George Slier, of Chicago. As it is known that the Britt faction !s strongly opposed to Slier, there is a proe poct of a lively meeting tomorrow when the representatlvos of the pugilists come together to discuse the question which has been thrust upon them by the big fee demanded by Jeffries, it being conceded that none of the parties at Interest will pay T900I tc the man who will ofilciato as referee next Saturday. The advance sale of seats for the meet ing of the men who are to determine tbe world's . championship in their class has been unprecedented and the indications now are that the house will represent at least $76,000.

Nelson has takon on a better appear ance at his new training ground soar Colma. Ills face has filled out and his color has Improved. Today Nelson in dulged in several swift bouts with Roy Stone and Bob Lundle. Tonight the betting was M to 7, with Britt at the long end. Manager Nolan is considerably exercised over the fact that his protege has been forced to be the short end of the Dotting, and declares that It should be even at the present time, owing to the showing that his man made with Britt in their former engagement LEWIS DEFEATS JACK O'KEEFE Arouses Enthusiasm In Detroit.

Has Hard Luck at Tacoma Tournament. TACOMA, Wash., Sept 4. Special.) At the monthly meeting of the Southwest Washington Gun Club Association Blue Rock Tournamont today, the weather con ditions were ideal this morning, but the sun in the afternoon was too dazzling and tut' few large scores were made. The record lor tne day was made by Dick Reed, representing the Solby shells, who made a straight run of 72. Such a dis play of accurate marksmanship has rare ly, if ever, been witnessed at the traps of the South Tacoma Club. Mrs. E. E. Young, the Portland sharp shooter, was tho only woman shooter to participate in any of the -events. The sun greatly hindered her work, and sho was bothored somewhat by the manner In which the birds wore discharged from the traps. The blucrocks took some hith erto undiscovered angles, and it is safe to say that Mrs. Young had more trouble In locating tho angles than probably any otbor competitor at tho ranges.

TJ., club played a lacrosse match with 'the Portlands. It would .be strictly correct to say that the Van couver played" with the Portlands, for the former came out victors to the tune of 14 goals to 2.

The difference between the price of die CutHraola and of the average ten-cent cigar is due solely to quart' tity and to the American Cigar Company's systematic methods of preparation and manufacture. The Cubanola is brought through each successive process from the curing of the leaf in half-million lots. There is no other cigar just like it and there is so other smoke under ten cents that a Cubanola smoker can be interested in.
