Those McCredle salaried men hung an
other one into the Seals yesterday after
noon. They made it 4 to 1, and outside
of the young: man who clouted a triple
to right center and two others who dou
bled to left. It took only two more to
accomplish-the kibosh that Parke Wilson
and his crew were stung for. Benny
Henderson and the sensitive Mr. Dona
hue were the only ones needed of the
Portland crew to drive the Seals down
the percentage column. As a matter of
course it took the aforesaid hits men
tioned to score the runs, but the bulk
of the heavy work fell upon the slender
Mr. Henderson and Mr. Donahue.
Those fair refugees who were perched up
where the breezes blew In the grandstand
waxed happy when they heard Umpire
Mahaffey announce Hitt and Wilson as
the batteries. One murmured, "He's the
sweetest and dearest pitcher in the league,
really. There is nothing about the con
tour of his face that would bring a prize
at a beauty show, and he doesn't compare
with Mr. Henderson in size or manly
beauty, but he's got him skinned four
Sausage links when It comes', to kinking
them down the straight alley where
crooked shoots count. My word, there'll
be nothing to it We'll win today as easy
as we left home on the morning of the
earthquake."
Henderson and Donahue's Work.
And here the story changes Benny
Henderson and the sensitive Mr. Donahue
became the real hard-working heroes.
When Mr. Benny goes to the firing line
lie usually deports himself with credit.
Yesterday he had them hanging all over
him. Mostly these credits were in the
nature of strikeouts, and he presented
them to the burned city ball-tossers as
the game grew apace. Really it was a
great pitching feat, because when Mr.
Benny wasn't skidding them down the
alley where the Seals couldn't locate them,
the Seals were hoisting them up in the air
In Mr. Donahue's back yard. Three of
the visitors tried this, but each time Mr.
Donahue nailed them with the goods on.
The other 13 putouts credited to Mr.
Donahue were whlfflets presented by Mr.
Benny. Spencer was the recipient of two,
Wheeler two, Hlldebrand two, Walthour
two and Parke Wilson two. Hitt, Wil
liams and Irwin drew one each. Naturally
there was some displeasure shown by
the Seals because Mr. Benny had such
wonderful control of the ozone market.
Parke Wilson, known all over the league
as a quiet, inoffensive and gentlemanly
ball player, so far forgot himself that
he was heard to drop a profane word
at the sensitive Mr. Donahue's feet. For
an instant Mr. Donahue seemed shocked.
Manager McCredie's smile at Wilson's
discomfort cleansed Mr. Donahue's offend
ed ears.
How San Francisco Tallied.
It was not until the fifth inning that
Mr. Benny allowed more than three men
to safe him. In the fifth Nick Williams
was safe on a sneaking bounder to Moore.
Kid Mohler, that human bit of chain
lightning, got credit for a hit in the
seventh. He scored on Hlldebrand's long
hit to right. Manager Mac relayed the
ball to Bill Sweeney and Hildebrand was
caught at second. . Wilson sought to dis
pute the point with Umpire Mahaffey,
: but the peaceful one from San Francisco
again read a threatening message in that
extended digit, so he walked instead of
talked. Mr. Benny was hit for two
singles In the closing chapter, but two
iouis to Mr. Donahue and the thirteenth
strikeout ended the fun.
McHale opened the first inning with a
slam to right center that was good for
three bags. Sweeney sent him to third with
a sacrifice and he scored on Mitchell's
single. With two in the morgue In the
third, bweeney and Mitchell both drove
: out doubles, Smith and Moore singles,
and two more runs came home. In the
lourth Mr. Donahue gave a fine exhibition
or a man making a home run on a single
He hit to Spencer and the ball escaped
: to the fence. Mohler caught the relay
and tried to heave it over the fence. Mr.
i Donahue kicked up a whole lot of un
necessary dust when he slid for home.
While Mr. Benny's performance was
gilt-edged and a couple of furlongs wide,
ixnat ol Roy Hitt s was not so bad. He
was hit hard at critical times, but he
iso tanned seven Portlanders. The score:

Sea Girt Riflemen Have Hard .Time.
Illinois Team Wins Tyro Match.
SEA GIRT, N. J., Aug. 29. Torrents of
rain, falling almost without intermission,
compelled the abandonment of the Wim
bledon cup match today after the com
petitors, to the unprecedented number of
267, had lain for. hours in pools of water,'
drenched to the skin and firing almost at
haphazard against the misty outlines of
targets on the 1000-yard range. At one
stage firing became Impossible, and rifle
men, -markers and range officers ran for
shelter. The range officers in charge no
tified the executive officer that t"he tar
gets were practically Invisible, but the
latter official insisted that the match be
continued. Only about one-third of ifhe
riflemen consented to return to. the fir
ing line, and soon after, the executive of
ficer ordered firing to cease. It was then
officially announced that the match was
declared off and will be a 10-shot instead
of 20-shot competition, on Friday next.
The company tyro match, the only other
event on the programme, was started
late. In the hope that the skies would
clear, and was fought out in a continuous
downpour. The match is of five shots each
at 200 and 500 yards, open to teams of
three men from any company of Army or
Marine Corps and ship's company of the
navy, the naval and military academics
and the National Guard of any state who
have never been in a winning team at
Sea Girt.
The match was won by the team of the
Gatling Gun platoon, National Guard of
Illinois, with a score of 139 out of a pos
sible 150. The members of the team will
receive gold medals. Second prize, silver
medals, was won by the First Denver
City troops, score 138, and third prize,
bronze medals, by Company H, Sixth Mas
sachusetts. Through an error of a scorer it was
first announced that the winner of the
match was Company D, First Regiment,
National Guard of the State of Washing
ton, which In reality finished in eighth
place. Company G, Second Oregon, was
sixth, with 128. Company C, Second Ore
gon, seventh, with 70.
ATT
CLOTHIER WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
FROM AVRIGHT.
Former Champion Finds Him In
vincible at Every Point and Is
Far Below Old Form,
NEWPORT, Rf I., Aug. 29. The ease
with which William J. Clothier, of
Philadelphia won the National lawn
tennis championship from Beals C.
Wright, of Boston, last year's title
holder, on the Casino courts today, was
one of the surprises of the tennis year.
A victory for Wright or at least a
hard-fought contest was anticipated,
but that Clothier should win in
straight sets, 6-3, 6-0, 6-4, was beyond
the calculations of even the closest
followers of the sport.
Wright's playing was 50 per cent be
low the form shown on the same court
last year, when he won the title from
Holcomb Ward, On the other hand.
Clothier displayed a well-balanced
game, carefully planned and skillfully
executed. At the net he was like a
stone wall, against which Wright ham
mered in vain, unable to either go
around or over it. Had Wright been
able to put the same force into his
returns that he did last year, the re
sult might have been different perhaps
or the match extended to four or five
sets.
Clothier's play was entirely for
Wright's back hand. He frequently
caught the last year's champion off his
feet and the ball struck the court far
out of reach. The fact that Clothier
scored 43 passes, or place shots, to 19
for Wright, shows at once the super
iority of the new champion's game.

FAST TENNIS GAMES
Excellent Play Continues at
Irvington Tournament.
Large gallery present
Match Between Miss Heitshu and
Miss Goss Closely Contested Mrs.
Judge Is Beaten by Very
Narrow Margin.
"There's no doubt but that tennis is the
coming sport of the world!" was the ver
dict of W. K. Scott yesterday evening,
after the last set of the day's events had
been played off. And his enthusiasm was
echoed by dozens of Irvington Tennis Club
members, who are growing more enthu
siastic over their play each successive day
of the present successful tournament.
There was good, snappy playing yesterday
and the large gallery was surprised more
than once at the clever showing made
by the men and women who occupied the
courts.
The match sbetween Miss Heitshu and
Miss Goss in the ladies' singles elicited
much interest and was closely contested.
Miss Goss was heavily handicapped, but
put up a remarkable and unusual game.
Mrs. Judge was another single player who
made a tine showing and was only beaten
by a close margin. In the men's singles
the Ferris-Wickersham match developed
brilliant play. Ferris is an old Iowa State
player, but has not handled his racquet
for five years. His playing yesterday was
fine, and it is predicted that he will make
his mark on the Coast If he keeps in
form. Wickersham's handicap proved too
heavy and he lost, 6-4, 6-2. Scott lost by
default with Rosenfeld in the men's sin
gles. He has been in fine form, but finds
it impossible to play in the singles and
pilot the tournament, as he is doing.
The gallery was unusually large yester
day, and the deep interest the general
public is taking in the playing of the Ir
vington members Is most encouraging to
the energetio' promoters of this fine tour
nament. The sport is kept clean cut and
up to the highest standard in every par
ticular, and the appreciation being shown
by the visitors to the courts presages
many future seasons of fine tennis in
Portland:
Yesterday's results follow:

CAMBRIDGE CREW IS SLOWER
,
Makes Practice Trip Over Course for
International Race.
PUTNEY, England, Aug. 29. On an
ebb tide and against a slight head
wind Cambridge did the full course
this morning in 20 minutes 6 seconds.
This is 21 seconds slower than Har
vard's time yesterday evening. The
Harvard men were somewhat favored
by a following wind, but the Cam
bridge crew had the advantage of be
ing paced during the last half mile by
a Leander crew. Stuart set the stroke
at 36 on starting, but after two miles
It had dropped to 31. Subsequently the
crew rallied and finished strong, with
a stroke of 36.
The Harvard men were only out for
a quarter of an hour this morning and
were mostly engaged In paddling,
though they had a minute burst from
the stake boat, doing 35 strokes to the
minute.
RAIN SAVES AUTO RECORD
Iiittle and Haggerty Abandon At
tempt on Transcontinental Time.
OGDEN, Utah, Aug. 29. R. H. Little
and C. G. Haggerty, who have been try
ing to break the transcontinental automo
bile record, abandoned the attempt at
Kelton today, owing to the condition of
the roads. They found the desert so bad
ly soaked by the recent rains that it
would be Impossible to equal the present
record of 15 days. They will, however,
proceed to San Francisco in their tour
ing car.
Members of the party express the opin
ion that with good weather and wheels
high enough to protect the machinery
from " the hummocks, which rise like a
backbone in the desert roads, the trip
may be made in less than two weeks.
English Women Lead at Tennis.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29. Miss May Sutton
left New York last night for Cincinnati,
where she will defend her title In the-tri-state
tennis championship In the
ladles' singles, and with her sister play
for the ladles' doubles championship.
Regarding America's chances of success
in the proposed international tournament,
she said:
"Frankly, .1 must admit I think the
English women as yet a little too strong
for us. Certainly, Miss Douglass proved
her superiority over me in the cham
pionship this year, although I am hopeful
of regaining the title some time. But
just now there are more women players
in England than in America; so there
are more high-grade players at present."
Little Betting on the Fight.
GOLDFIELD, Nev., Aug. 29. There
was not much betting here today on
the fight. Gans remains the favorite
at the odds of 10 to 8. Gans and Nel
son went on the road this morning for
