SCHILLERS AS OPPONENTS Failure of Los Angeles Team to Ar ' rive on Time Will Not Prevent the Beavers Appearing on the Diamond. On account of the efforts of Jim Morley to disrupt the Pacific Coast League by disbanding the Los Angeles team, there will be no regularly scheduled game this afternoon, as the Angel aggregation will not reach Portland until tomorrow morn ing, but In spite of this the fans will have an opportunity of witnessing the Portland team with Jud Smith at third Base 'a ac tion this afternoon. Today's contest will be in the nature of a benefit game for the Portland players who lost their effects during the San Francisco earthquake and subsequent fire, which destroyed the Rush House, at which the team was quartered In the Bay City, Scarcely anv of the boys escaped with more clothln- than they were able hastily to gather together, for the falling of plas ter and masonry made It expedient for them to get to a place of safety as soon as possible, and when things quieted down sufficiently for their return they were pre vented from entering the hotel by the sol diery, which was on guard in the district where the fire was raging fiercely. Opponents of Portland. The opponents of the Portland team his afternoon will be the Schiller baseball team of the City League, which la com posed of professional and semi-professional talent. In the line-up of the Schil- lers will be found several of the old-time favorite players of former Portland teams. who have volunteered their services to assist the cause. Among those who will play with this team today are Andy An rierson. formerly second baseman of the local league team for three years; Sammy Vlgneux, manager of Portland's first team In the Pacific Coast League; Joe Fay. formerly third baHeman for Mc- Closkey In the days of the Pacific North west League, and others equally as well known. Roy Toren, who was released by MeCre- dle the other day, will pitch for the Schil lers, while Win French or Virgil Garvin will twirl for the Coast Leaguers. Jud Smith will play third base for Portland, Charlie Moore will cover second, and Mc Lean and Donohue will alternate behind the bat.

IT BAT NELSON MUST WATCH THE MEXICAN CLOSELY. Dane Is in Fine Form and Does Rough AYork as If He Liked It. LOS ANGELES. May 23. (Special.) Throughout all his preliminary work Battling Nelson, who will fight Aurelio Herrera. Friday night, has taken all the punches his ' sparring partners could give him. In the bouts he Is hit continuously, but always comes up smiling. To hear Nelson tell it, he is insensible to pain, and nothing that Herrera can hand him will give him any trouble. On this the whole question of the fight depends. When Nelson boxed Herrera they closed, and the Mexican had no chance to puch. Young Corbett found what was behind the short-arm jab of Herrera when he forgot to cover for a moment. If Herrera lands square ly on Nelson it will end the fight. Both fighters showed well in their work today. Bat had reached the stage where he could let down a little if he wanted to. but he had no desires along that line. Nelson went after the punching bag. danced with the rubber ropes, skipped the hemp a bit, boxed a few rounds with Baker, and waltzed through-a few strenuous moments with Williams, and then said he was ready for the road. Nelson Picked as Winner. SAN FRANCISCO. May 23. (Special.) A casual canvass of the opinions of the sporting men left In town resolves tself down to this general proposition: Herrera is always to be reckoned a very dangerous man on account of his terrific punch. If he ever hits Nelson squarely on a vital spot there -will be a Danish funeral. But considering Nelson's past record and his wonderful stamina, his class seems to be more than the Mexican's punch can over- coma. Nelson on form is the best dope. Opening or Gold Championship.

MOT, AT HELM Chosen as Manager of the Los Angeles Team. BERT SCORES MORLEY Coast League President Says the De posed Magnate Wilfully De ceived His Players When He Released Them. SAN FRANCISO, May 23. (Special.) T. J. McCarty, the James Coffroth of Los Angeles, is now the active manager of the Los Angeles baseball team. Mor ley has stepped out amid a storm of In dignation on the part of the league of ficials. The Los Angeles team reached here tonight and continued on the way to Portland. McCarty would have come North himself, had it not been for the Nelson-Herrera fight, Friday night, which demands his presence In LoB Angeles. The people who are standing back of the Los Angeles club wanted McCarty, and their choice had the hearty approval of the league. "We wish it clearly understood," said Bert, "that this change in Los Angeles is being made without a cent of profit to the league. Morley has stated that the league was trying to make money out of the thing. This is not so. Los Angeles keeps its team, the new backers get the franchise without a cent of exnense to them. "All the league has asked them to do Is to post the usual bond of J1500, which is posted by every team in the league, and they have done this willinelv. Thev are going to starid back of the team from now on and are determined to give Los Angeles better ball than ever. Incident ally, they are persuaded, as we are, that Mccarty is the man who can assure this "It appears that Morlev vnaterriav i-Biiea nis men together and told them they were free to do as they wished. Further than that he would hold them under their contracts for next year.

A crowd of well-known men who take an interest in sporting events have quiet ly banded together with the intention of organizing a coursing club for such as enjoy this great sport at the Union Coursing Park at San Francisco. Antici pating that opposition might be made to the promotion of such a project, these local enthusiasts are keeping their lden tlty in the shadow. It is understood that they are contemplating securing Irving ton Park for their grounds. This place would make an ideal location for such use. At present there are none of the breed of dogs used in this game in Portland but the backers of the plan are so thor oughly bent on succeeding that they 'are arranging to bring in a bunch of hounns from outside points. They now have men in California and the East looking out for a good breed. Coe Barred From Michigan Team. ANN ARBOR, May 23. -r Wesley W, Coe. the world's champion shot-putter, has been declared ineligible to com pete for Michigan this year in the Chicago and conference meets by a strict interpretation- of Ihe one-year residence rule. Coe several years ago competed for the University of Oxford, and It is held by the conference arbl trator that this bars him from com petlng here this Spring, although he has been out of college for three years. His absence will make a big hole in Michigan's score in the conference meets, as he was practically certain of a first in the shot and second in the discus, with a good chance of winning the hammer from Parry, of Chicago.

IN FUMED and WEATHERED OAK () The furnishing of the hall, the library, the living-room, the dining-room and the den is not a difficult matter when quaint furniture is selected, and the above rooms furnished in this manner present an artistic, pleasing and home-like effect. The beauty of the ""arts and crafts" designs lies in its plain, solid lines, and the fact that it is fashioned after the original hand-made furniture which graced many of the old missions. To complete its strong and simple beauty, many finishes have been applied, the most popular of which have been the "fumed" and the "weathered." The former, however, has proved to be the most characteristic. This color is of a soft nut-brown shade, of a tone that will harmonize perfectly in any surroundings. Our gathering of quaint furniture embraces de signs which are the foremost creations of the craftsmen designers and builders.
