THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAN. MONDAY. 31 AY 28, 1906. IS NEW TOGS BRING BEAVERS LUCK Portland Ball Tossers Take Two Games From Dil lon's Angels. SCORES STAND 5-4, 5-2 Hopkins Pitches Star Ball in First Game, But Falls Down In Ninth Essick's Twirling Wins the Second. Those new suits of the Beavers are cer tainly the breadwinners. Clad In their glad raiment McCredle's colts carried oft two games from Frank Dillon and his Angel host yesterday by scores of 5-4 and 6-2. One of the grames postponed from last week was played off in the morning, and another will be disposed of this aft ernoon. Tuesday the Oakland aggrega tion will pay Portland a visit and the league will go on as merrily as if there never had been a Jim- Morley or a San f 'ranclsco fire. And the beauty of it all is that Portland has a clean sheet wits 1000 in the percentage column. Hopkins and French were the opposing wirlers In the morning performance and Hopkins all but won the game. The ...v.nnn. nftfn MoHiila And liiuo nuuuiJow iinv .,..... - everybody else who thinks he is a hitter winging like a gate, hunting for his angelic shoots. For six innings not a hit was recorded against him, but the clos ing chapter the bleachers got in their work and Just to 'help things along Callff, who succeeded French in the eighth canto, hit one to Ellis, which that lad obligingly dropped. Was a Glorious Finish. Moore, who had drawn a walk, took second on the play. McHale walked and with the shouts of the bleachers ringing in his ears Midget Hopkins passed out the same tribute to Sweeney, forcing Moore home. Mitchell slapped a two bagger into the left and Callff and Me Hale cantered In. The manager held up his end by dipping his arm Into a pitched ball and then it was Jud Smith's turn. Just to be In the swim the quan dam Angel nailed one to the cross on the left field fence and "big Mike lumbered home with the winning tally. It was a glorious finish and redeemed all the slow work during the early Innings. The locals had scored one In the first on a pretty slide home by McHale, who had got around to third on a walk, forced by Sweeney, and a slow one laid down by McCredle, which Gochnauer chose to play to first. The visitors scored one each in the first, fourth, fifth and seventh, mainly through good hit ting. In the afternoon Schmidt went on the firing Una for the Angels, but in the fourth Inning he got into an alterca tion with Umpire Knell, the upshot of which was that Herr Schmidt was In vited to spend the rest of the afternoon on the bench. Steltz took his place, but the Beavers found his offerings easy, scoring one In the Initial Inning of his pitching, three In the sixth and another In the seventh. The best the Angels could do with Bill Esslck, who haiKied them over for the locals, was one in the fifth and another in the ninth, when the blonde boy lot down. Brought Manager Home. In the fourth McCredle beat out a bunt. Jud Smith dumped one over third on which he went to second, while Mc Credle sprinted to third. Schmidt then retired as related heretofore. Lister sent the manager home on a hit to left off Steltz. who was put in. Harry McLean brought the crowd to Its feet In the sixth when he slammed one to the right field fence bringing Smith and Lister, who were on bases, home and scoring himself on Dillon's wild heave to third in an effort to head off Lister. Mitchell was the hero of the next chapter. McHale got on by a hit over second and went around to the third sta tion on Sweeney's sacrifice and good bafcerunning. Mike then laid into one which travelled to the fence and Jimmy crossed the pan. Esslck had the visitors on his string at every stage. In the fifth Gochnauer drew a base on balls and came home from second, where McClelland had sacri-. flced him. on Steltz's single to center. The Angels made a gallant stand in the last ditch. Moore dropped Dillon's fly. On a passed ball the old veteran went to second and from here he scored on Gochnauer's blngle. In the fifth the fair haired Portland twlrler closed up matters easily by strik ing out McClelland, Bliss and Steltz in succession. This is how it happened, both morning and afternoon: Morning; Game.

Principals Johnston and Wilson, of the Portland Academy, are considering the advisability of abolishing the game of football at their institution. Last Winter, when the agitation among collegiate insti tutions was at its height against the game, the principals told their students that they, too, were opposed to thegame and that if enough higher institutions of learning took measures against the, game they, also, might be induced to prohibit further football playing at the Academy. The Academy students expect to read their fate when the next issue of the Troubadour, the school paper, comes out. The principals have said that through the columns of this paper they will announce their decision on the fate of the game. The next issue of this paper will not ap pear for several weeks. It is understood that Principals John ston and Wilson are also opposed to Rug by because of Its roughness and that they will propose as a substitute for the mod ern game Socker or Association football. Hamilton Corbett was elected last Fall to be captain of the team next year. Grammar League Schedule.

The deciding game for the championship of the Multnomah Club was played yester day morning between the Irish Giants and the Colts, the former team winning by a score of 8 to 7. The contest was a heart-breaker and a hard one for either team to lose. Seven exciting innings had been played, during which good work, va ried by errors of the laughable sort, kept the big crowd of rooters which had gath ered quite on edge. In the eighth, the Colts laid Into Morris' curves for three runs, gaining the lead by one. When the Giants came up for their last turn it looked like curtains for them. Pitcher Fenton retired the first two easily, but on the third and deciding out Stockton threw the ball away in an effort to catch the runner at first, and the Giants gained the lead, 8 to7. In their half of the session the Colts were unable to score and the big championship match was over. Malntenon Wins French Derby. PARIS. May 27.

CHANGE IS NOT POPULAR English Sport Mast Resist Strong . Prejudice In Favor of Old Style. Lanagan In British Columbia Getting Pointers on Play. BY LEWIS A. M' ARTHUR. Although Fall football contests are yet several months away, those who are In terested in the gridiron sport at CallfDr nla and at Stanford are already discuss ing the season's prospects. Inasmuch as Rugby has been selected as this year's Intercollegiate game, a vast amount of speculation is rife as to how the game will be played, and who will do the play ing, and also whether there is any likeli hood of the English pastime supplanting the old college variety of American foot ball. If Rugby can succeed in winning a place In the hearts of Pacific Coast football en thusiasts, it will accomplish a great deal more than its advocates expect. There already exists a strong prejudice against the game, principally among the players and friends of the old variety, and it will be overcoming a mighty sU:ong barrier to break down this hostile feeling. Most of the players of the old game are loud in their protests against Rugby, when, as a matter of fact, they never saw a game played and don't know the first thing about It. They are simply kicking on general principles, and telling what a fearful calamity has hit Western football. They will be better qualified to speak on the subject after it has been tried a year. But, as the matter stands at present, the captains of Stanford and California are opposed to Rugby, and behind them are the members of the student bodies of their respective universities. The college dailies have decried the English game and the two university annuals, both de stroyed in the San Francisco fire, were full of ridiculous cartoons and Joshes on those responsible for the change. Lonergan at Work. As It now stands, the fiat of the athletic committee has gone forth, and unless some special meeting reconsiders the ac tion before Fall, the action will stand. Already Jimmy Lanagan is studying the men in British Columbia with the purpose of turning out a team for the Cardinal that will be Just as thoroughly schooled In the art of Rugby as his former teams have been in the American variety. Lanagan Is not rabidly opposed to Rug by, and Is willing to give out a fair trial. In this- he differs with most of the en thusiasts. He is quoted as having said: "Just at present the Stanford boys do not like it because their game was taken away from them, but they will do the best they can with Rugby, and I think they will like it better than they imagine. Rugby Is a good game and a hard game. The element lacking is the personal en counter of one man with another that comes with the Intercollegiate game. That's what your college man wants, and that la -what, he will find lacking. We may go back to intercollegiate, but Rugby will be given a fair trial. It may result in a lighter team, but the New Zealand ers tell- me that the Ideal man is one who is fast on his feet and weighs about 180 pounds. "The Eastern committee is tinkeringj with the rules of the Intercollegiate game so much that it is hard to Say what will come of it. The forward pass does away with the very essence of football, as played at present. To meet the forward pass it will be necessary to keep at least three men in the backfield. This, I be lieve, will weaken the defense so much that there will be more gains by bucking the line. With the forward pass, there is no reason why the 10 yards cannot be made in the necessary number of downs." O. F. Snedlgar, California's veteran ath lete, is not friend of the new game, and as he has been elected graduate manager for the Blue and Gold for the coming sea son, he may be In a position to secure some change in the near future, though this is not probable. . Cannot Foresee Resu.lts. It Is impossible to estimate the pros pects of the two teams. The new game is such - a complete change from the old style that it may not furnish opportunity for any of the veterans to participate. Lanagan has been quoted as saying that he believed that the best Rugby team could be selected from the baseball and basketball teams. All this makes present attempts to estimate the strength of the new teams mere speculation, s Both will have to be developed from men who know practically nothing of the game. If the old game were to be played again next Fall. Stanford would be especially strong. Practically every man of the 1905 eleven would be back again cn the field and the combination would be one of the best teams the cardinal has ever put on the gridiron. California, on the other hand, would have a strong line, but would have to develop new men in the back Held, the most promising candidates being members, of last Fall's freshman team. These men would be lighter and less experienced .than Stanford's veterans, and would have to put up a good qual ity of ball to hold their own. California Might Be Strong. But there Is another thing to be brought into consideration that will spoil some of the best football proph ecies that could be made, and that is the effect the new rules will have on the game. California supporters are of the opinion that their lighter and faster backs should make good in the open style of play that the Eastern rules committee has attempted to bring about. It seems to be the opin ion of experts on the game that open play will be absolutely necessary to make ten yards in three downs with the restrictions that have been placed on tackling. Whether this is true and whether it will militate against heavy line smashers in the back field is a question that time alone will decide. IATONIA SPRING MEETING. Opens With Decoration Handicap and Lasts 31 Days. CINCINNATI, May 27. The Spring meeting of the Latonla Jockey Club be gins Wednesday, May 30, Decoration day and will continue for SI days. The meet ing will' be conducted independently of either of the two turf organisations now existent In the West. Eleven stakes will be decided.

The Latonla derby comes Saturday, and almost the same field that went to the post for the Kentucky Derby at Louisville will battle It all over again at Latonla. Sir Huon, who won the Kentucky Derby In clever style, will have to carry 127 pounds at Latonla, and notwithstanding that he will be a hot favorite. The great big event of the meeting, the J1I.O0O han dicap, called the Queen City, will be run on June IS. EULIS WINS DIAMOND MEDAL Scores Made at the Rod and Gun .Club Shoot.

Although the sun was shining brightly, the members could not bring themselves to risk a sudden shower again yesterday, and accordingly the machines were kept in their garages to rest for the big run which the club is planning to hold on Decoration day.

The run will be to some near-by country point, where, a picnic will be held, the members returning to the city in the evening. Brother Killed at Ball Game.

Antiquarians to Search In Sand for Crown Jewels. Kansas City Star. Everybody knows or rather Is supposed to know that King John lost his bag gage train when he was taking a short cut across the Wash to escape his wrath ful Barons, who were In hot pursuit of him. The Wash, it should be explained, Is a wide and shallow estuary on the east coast of England, between the coun ties of Lincoln and Norfolk. John was a bad egg. Acording to one of his candid contemporaries, he was "a knight without truth, a King without Justice, & Christian without faith." He had signed Magna Charts, the great bul wark o English freedom, only to repu diate it, and when war broke out between him and the Barons again, he knew that they would not give him another chance to break his word with them. In his haste to "make tracks," he did not make sufficient allowance for the tide, and the quicksands swallowed up his army chest and his crown jewels and a lot of other paraphernalia, that is now worth vastly more than it was in his time. He had a close shave of it himself, according to Shakespeare, who thus refers to the Inci dent in "King John'.': I tell thee, Hubert, half my power this night. Passing these flats Is taken by the. tide. These Lincoln waves have devoured them. Myself, well mounted, hardly have escaped. According to some accounts, to drown his sorrow he went on a big spree, which brought on an attack of dysentery, of which he died. He was buried in Worces ter Cathedral, wrapped in a monk's gown, and as a further protection against van dal hands, was laid between two Saxon saints. It has been generally assumed that King John's lost treasure was still buried somewhere in the quicksands that the sea overflows at every tide, and that In the course of the centuries that have since elapsed the stuff must have sunk many fathoms deep in the shifting sands. Under suoa circumstances, its recovery would be so costly and difficult as to ren der the prospects of success welinigh hopeless. But St, John Hope, of the Society of Antiquaries, is able to state definitely that, owing to the changes that have taken place in the sea line and the rec lamation of waste lands, the treasure now lies some distance inland. In the search for It, no diving will be necessary, and digging operations are comparatively cheap. Mr. Hope has made a map of the district as it was in King John's time; on that map he hap drawn a line, and somewhere on that line, he asserts, prob ably about 40 feet below the surface, un der a substratum of silt, lies King John's crown jewels and army pay chest and the rest of the lost baggage. Of course treasure trove belongs to the Try the Burlington Next Time!

W. 100 crown, but for many years it has been the practice of the crown to pay full market value for whatever It retained, so that the discoverers. If successful, even if they have to give up the best part of their find, are assured of a rich reward. The coins alone, at this date, are im mensely valuable. What the crown jew els would i be worth, it is impossible now even to hazard a guess, but It is certain they would be appraised at a big sum. And historic associations would confer a considerable price on small articles that have no Intrinsic value. Asbestos and Its Uses. Chicago Journal. It was first mined about 100 years ago, chiefly as interesting to the geol ogist and mineralogist, and cf little or no commercial value. About 1868 it was first used commercially in the manufacture of roofing felt and ce ment. Early attempts to spin this fiber were unsuccesful, but the diffi culties havu now been overcome, so that a single asbestos thread weighing not more than ono ounce per 100 yards, which has a pretty fair strength, may be made. Asbestos ropes for fire de partments are made entirely of asbes tos or asbestos with a core of steel. With the steel wire core a three-quarter-Inch rope carries nearly 2000 pounds.
