"The old man will have to get his own supper ' tonight." said Brick Devereaux from the coaching line yesterrihy in the ninth inning a the clairvoyants" sniffed the air, and turned his comely Irish face towards the grandstand full of ladle.s. Brick called the turn, for the game went four extra sessions- before McHale caught one of Reldy's slow lobs on the nose for a two-base drive which brought Donohue home with the winning run. Reldy and Califf were pitted against each other on the mound. The local boy Rot a pounding in the opening inning which netted Oakland three runs. This looked like a pretty safe lead until the third, when Portland pegged up one. There was another added In the fourth and still another In the sixth, which tied the score. But the Athenians got troublesome again In the seventh and chased two more over on a single hit, Reirty and Halley tallying. Things looked bad for Portland, as Reldy was getting beter each inning and the heavy stick ing Beavers could not meet the ball square. In the ninth came the fireworks, just as they had the day before. Tlie crowd seemed to have a premonition that the big fellows would pull out on top and but few left their seats lucky were those who remained faithful. Pete Lister slammed one safe and Ben Hentterson was sent in to bat for Califf. The big fellow shoved one down the alley too fast for Heltmuller. Jimmy McHale laid down a neat sacrifice, which put Donny and Ben on third and second respective ly. Then It remained for Bill Sweeney to slash out the safety which did the business. Neither Mitchell nor McCredle could hit and the score stood 5 all. Both sides were helpless during the next three Innings. Reldy was pitching clever ball all the time and the locals were popping easy chances. On the other hand, Benny Henderson, who supplanted CalifT, warmed up to his work and es caped without a hit being recorded against him. In the 13th came the big finale. Dono hue was safe on a bad throw by Francks. Pete Lifter put one up which was too far in for Jimmy Smith to get. Henderson fouled out to Bliss, but Jimmy McHale was there with the neecssary clout to win. Reldy handed him a floater and the next minute it was lying against the fence between center and left fields. Donohue had meanwhile crossed the pan with the deciding? run. Buck Keith and Ed Rankin umpired yestercliy and will continue to do so by authority of Judge McCredle during the Oakland series. Keith yesterday took balls and strikes, while Rankin watched the bases. Each made several bad mis takes. Rankin called Kruger out In the eighth when he had his bunt beat to first by three feet. Buck was a little off occasionally and he ordered Brick Devereaux to the bench In the 13th inning for being too talkative. Donohue caught a perfect game, his throwing to second being excellent. For the visitors Kid Halley, on second, cov ered miles of territory and led in hitting. He was compelled to leave the game be cause of a wrenched knee, which he sus tained in the ninth inning while trying to steal second. Kruger robbed McHale of a two-bagger in the 11th by a beauti ful running catch. Gum and Sis Hopkins, the clever younif southpaws, will be pitted against each other today.

Cincinnati had the bases full in the last half of the ninth. Dug gleby then struck out the next three men, ending the game. The second game was called at the beginning of the ninth on account of darkness, the Phlladel phlans protesting loudly against the de cision. A balk sent the winning run over for the locals.

THREE DAYS OF SPORTS All Sorts of Aquatic Contests Inter spersed With Interesting Events to Be Carried Out "a the Land. Astoria is to have a yachting regatta August 30 and 31 and September 1, and extensive preparations are now being made for the event. The course chosen is 25 miles in length and from ten to 15 miles wide along- the Columbia, and the races are for the Columbia championship. The principal events will be: August 30, free-for-all yacht race with handi cap; August 31, class races for large and small yachts; September 1. field sports. Besides these there will be numer ous events of a smaller nature distri buted throughout the entire regatta. These will consist of launch races, scull races, schooner races, boat's crew races, swimming races, high dives, log rollings, catching greased pig, yacht races, shooting matches, footraces, con certs, and in fact everything that goes to make the regatta Interesting, en tertaining and enjoyable. Officers of the occasion are: Richard Leathers, admiral; Mayor Herman Wise, vice-admiral; R. S. Smith, secretary, and Nelson Troyer, chairman water sports committee. Quite a fleet of boats will leave Portland and sail to the regatta. Among them will be the sloop yacht Corsair, owned by Max Meyer; the Naiad, Breyman & McKelvln; the Hootman, Mackey brothers; the Comet, H. F. Todd; Anona, Francis D'Arcy; the Synamox. Jack Honeyman, and the Zephyr, Robert3 & Bannon. The Zephyr was managed last year by H. F. Todd, who won the two lead ing prizes. Mr. Todd has won the cham pionship for the past eight years with his two boats'Skylark and Zephyr but this year goes Into the contest with the Comet, a boat built on a new plan which has proven very successful in the East but has heretofore been un known upon this Coast. The Comet is enrolled with the 6regon Yachting Club and with the Portland Rowing Club. She Is 28 feet long, 8 feet wide and carries 6D0 square feet of sail. The people of Astoria are preparing every hospitality for the people who attend the regatta and all who go will be rewarded amply for the trouble and expense of the trip. A big delega tion from San Francisco will attend. Brown's Band, of Portland, as usual, will furnish the music, which has al ways been a feature. PLAYERS THREATEN TO QUIT Essick and McLean Holding Out for Half of Purchase Price. Cincinnati is paying Portland $3300 for Essick and McLean. This comes on good authority, and while many feel that these clever players are worth more money, It Is not so poor when It is con sidered that the men could be drafted for $100 each. Neither Essick nor Mc Lean appeared in uniform yesterday and there is no doubt that trouble is brewing between the players ancJ the club man agement. Both players claim that by the terms of their contracts they were to get half of any purchase money which McCredle might be offered for their serv ices and Essick is determined in the stand that he will quit baseball forever rather than be "held up." as he terms it. by the local management and denied what has been promised him. Essick is a college graduate and had made a success of business before he en tered professional ball, and he can re enter the business world whenever It becomes necessary to do so. The propo sition that confronts McCredle In the Essick case is whether he would like to lose $1750 by maintaining his present at titude or concede the point and make half that amount With McLean it is somewhat different. He is in the game, like most of the fra ternity, to stick till Father Time hangs the Indian sign on him. McCredle has a firmer hold on him and may be able to keep all his purchase money. At any rate, the whole matter will no doubt be concluded one way or another within the next few days. DONOHUE LOSES HIS TROUSERS Teammates Joke Catcher When Ap parel Falls From Train Window. Patrick Donohue, the popular Beaver catcher made part of the journey from Los Angeles to Portland recently minus his trousers. Pat retired early the first night out from the 'Angel City, and be cause of the heat raised the window of his section. Now Pat had just removed his trousers, and was attempting to place them in the hammock when the train went around a curve. Result, Pat's trou sers went out the window instead of Into the netting which was Intended for them. In the trousers were a picture of Pat's best girl and his month's salary, and nat urally the loss took on a very sinister aspect, particularly since the trousers were the only pair Pat had with him, and no other member o the club was of his build. Luckily the train stopped about a mile further on for a long time, and the sight of a half "dollar induced a porter to walk back after the little Irishman's wearing apparel. The garment was recovered In due time, and though Patrick was out no money, he was subjected to no end ot joshing by his teammates on the way home.

He pointed out that since the time, 20 years ago, when the late Sec retary Blaine founded the Bureau of American Republics, the condition had greatly changed. The United States, from a debtor nation which had been compelled to borrow money to build its cities, had In a very short time become a creditor na tion, with a large surplus capital ready and available for disposal to help other countries attain the . same position..
