NOT HITTING BALL
Weakness of Beavers at Bat
Shown by the Averages.
M'CREDIE THE EXCEPTION
Portland Manager Leads Team With
25 Hits Ont of 78 Times at Bat,
Giving Average of 321.
Fielding Records.
The Beavers have been home a month
row, and hava won eight games and lost
14. That la a great deal better than the
record In the Southland, and shows that
th boya ara beginning- to pick up. In
the first Ban Francisco series at home
they won two and lost three, in the Los
Angeles series they dropped four out of
five. While playing with Oakland they
won three out of the seven games, ana in
the last series succeeded in capturing two
ut of five. Within the last few days
Bhinn left the team and Frank Gum was
benched and bought a ticket back to
Colorado.
Binca the return from the land of tha
Winter tourist resorts Anson R. Mott
Joined tha team. Mott has made himself
one of the most popular players and has
been doing good work all tha time. Artie
Rosa Is now with the tram, but is not
desirous of ' playing. Ross complains
that he has lost his arm and cannot do
good work In the outfield. Ha states
that he thinks ha Is fast enough to play
In the Northwest League, but Is afraid
that he cannot make good in the PaciflS
Coast League. He will be given a two
. weeks' trial by Manager MoCradia and if
he makes good will be retained. Ross
will probably go In at left field, and Bas
eey will be switched to center field.
Lovett's Injured finger will keep him out
for some time.
Where la First Baseman Yates?
Manager McCredle made arrangements
and signed Dick, Yates, a first baseman
from the University of Chicago, but so
far the player has not put In an appear
ance. McCredle has not heard from the
man, and does not know whether to sign
another first baseman. Shortstop Stan
ton, who was due to arrive a week ago.
has not appeared, and has sent no word
to the manager. When the team goes
south, the Beavers will bo shy a good
short. Joe Fay, who Is filling the place
at present, will not leave the city, because
of his business here, and McCredle has
no other man, besides Ponahue, who is
able to fill the bill.
San Francisco cama north this last
series with a different team than played
the first series. Shaughnessy, the big
ex-policeman of the Bay City, occupies
Murphy's place in right field. Shaugh
nessy was a member of the crack San
Francisco policemen's team that traveled
through the East last season, and his
work V attracted the magnates of the
South. Murphy has evidently quit base
ball for good. He left Ban Francisco
for Klondike, and it is not known
whether he will return to baseball. Hllde
brand Is sick In San Francisco. Wheeler
is traveling with the team, and, unable
to play. Is acting as assistant manager,
Joy was left at home, and it Is not like
ly that he will be given a chance to
travel with the team this Summer. . .
Los Angeles will probably arrive today,
and at present It looks as if no game will
he played. The grounds are wet, and
the boys cannot do good work.
How Beavers Are Batting.
Tha batting averages of the team show
that Frank Gum leads the team. He
was only up eight times, still he hit
three times safely. Walter McCredle is
the real sticker of tha bunch. Since his
return from the South he has been up 78
times, and has hit safety 25 times. Ha
Is the only man on the team hitting over

HAS RECORD OF 57 INNINGS
WITHOUT A RUN.
Walter Johnson, of Weiser, Astounds
Idaho Fans by His Remark
able Work.
WEISER, Idaho, Juno 10. (Special.)
The Weiser baseball .club, a member of
the Idaho State League, has developed
a phenomenal pitcher. Ha bitched 67 in
nings without a run being made off his
delivery. The world's record Is 64 innings.
He pitched straight games without a run
being scored against h'lm. In a game In
this city two weeks ago with the Boise
club of the Idaho Stabs League he struck1
out J9 men.vtha first eight men who faced
him going down. Yesterday ha struck
out 18 men and not a man of the opposing
club reached third base.
TJls name is Walter Johnson and he is
i ative of California. He Is 1? years of
at and is tall and strong as an ox.
He tias arms that for length would put
Fitzsimmons to blush. Tha clubs he has
pitched against are not amateurs, but are
composed of players who hava played In
some of the best clubs of the East. He
pitched in a game last Monday for the
Nampa Idaho Club, which was playing
the Mountain Home club for $100 a Bide.
Nampa won. 5 to 0.
The club9 in the -Idaho League are ex
ceptionally strong. Weiser has a club
that can hold its own with any club In
the West. Every man is a star In his
position, and the citizens of Weiser will
back them against anything in the West.
With proper care of himself, Johnson
should make bis mark In the baseball
world.
KELLY IS CHOSEN CAPTAIN
Champion Sprinter Honored by Fel
low Athletes at Eugene.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Or., June 10. (Special.) Dan J. Kelly, of
Baker City, the world's champion sprin
ter, was unanimously elected captain of
the track team for the season of 1908.
Kelly accepted the honor and expressed
his feelings to his teammates in a few
well-chosen words.
He is the strongest athlete who aver
came to the university, and as an all
around man he is probably without a
peer. His record of :09 S-5 In the 100-yard
dash stands as the world's record, and
his 21 1-5 seconds for the 220-yard dash,
made at Spokane on a slightly curved
track, equals the world's record for a
straightaway. In the Pullman meet held
hi Eugene this year he ran the sanje
distance in 21 4-6 seconds, equaling the
world's time -for a quarter-mile track.
Kelly Is 23 years old. Is a good student,
and at present is .taking a course pre
paratory to law.
NOT EAGER TO MEET KELLY
Sprinter Parsons, of Los Angeles, Is
Coy in Accepting Invitations.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 10. (Spe
cial.) Superintendent Will Inglis. of
the Seattle Athletic Club, was notified
today that . Charley Parsons, of Cali
fornia, who has been making a big
noise about his eagerness to run
against Dan Kelly, will not come
north to take part in the championship
track games here on June 22. Parsons
claims he is going Into training to
meet Kelly at Jamestown and refuses
to take a chance against him In the
meantime. Superintendent Inglis
thought Parsons would take advantage
of the first chance offering to meet
Kelly and sent both mail and tele
graphic invitations, but he finally had
to telegraph to a Los Angeles sport
ing writer to ;et a word out of Par
sons. Then it was a refusal to come
north.
Begin Work on Eugene Carline.
EUGENE, Or., June lu. (Special.)
Preliminary work on the new street

street began this morning. A force of
men Is at work changnlg the location
of the light and telephone poles. All
necessary materials for tie paving and
the construction of the carline are on
the ground, the stone quarry west of
Skinner's Butte has been opened, and
there will be no occasion for delay in
the work if the weather continues
good.'

The grip has been unusually, prevalent
during the past Winter, and in many
cases is likely to be followed by an at
tack of muscular rheumatism. This Is
the most common variety of that disease
and least dangerous. There is no swell
ing of the joints and tlie pain is not so
excruciating as in acute or inflammatory
rheumatism. It Is sufficiently severe to
disable a man, however, and every move

BT ARTHUR A. GREENE.
THE enthusiastic manner in which Otis
Skinner and "The Duel" were re
ceived by a big audience at the Heilig last
night restores one's confidence in the in
telligence of theater audiences. Some
times I'm prone to think that only such
plays and such actors as split the ears
of tha groundlings are marked for suc
cess; that dramatised tommyrot alone ap
peals to the great American public; and
then comes such an Instance aa that of
last night and my cynicism la knocked
galley-west. Here la an actor and a play
which appeal entirely to the cultured un
derstanding. Only people who appreciate the higher,
more elusive things are likely to care
much for Mr. Skinner's work In "The
Duel," or for the play Itself. It la a
drama for the thoughtful, written with a
clearly defined object In view. Its liter
ary excellence places It easily in tha front
rank of recent dramatic craftsmanship,
and it combines learned dlsousslon of an
abstruse subject, dramatic quality and
the element of sheer human interest to a
remarkable degree.
It is largely antithetical dialogue, argu
mentative far beyond what we expect in
the acting drama, but it clutches the in
terest and sways the emotions so effec
tively that the audience Is never allowed
to relax until the logical denouement is
reached.
"The Duel" was written by Henri Lave
dan, of the French Academy, and has
been admirably translated by Louis N.
Parker. It is symbolical of tho struggle
now In progress In France between the
mother church and atheism. The Abbe
Daniel and Bolene typify all that Is best
and most admirable In religion, while
Doctor Morey is scientific agnosticism In
carnate. As In most duels, there is a
woman in the case, but the love element
la also symbolical. It stands for some
thing more than a mere individual affair
of the heart
.At the end religion is benignly triumph
ant, as it should. The play Is. in fact,
a powerful preachment for the church,
made through the effective and ever-Interesting
medium of the drama.
Otis Sklnrter represents all that is best
in the actor's art. His technic Is above
criticism, he has the voice, stage presence
and power of character portraying that
are consummate. Portland has seldom
seen so fine an artist.
The presence of El M. Holland, unques
tionably one of the greatest of English,
character actors, in the cast makes the
performance all the more notable. Mr,
Holland was last seen here with Kryle
Bellew, two years ago, and the local pub
lic is glad of his return. His work as
the missionary biiihop last night was such
as is seldom givon us to witness.
The cast is small and so uniformly good
that every detail of the performance Is
perfectly balanced. But four of the parts
are of great consequence. In fact, the
others are merely bits, but they are care
fully and ably' played. Walter Hitch
cock, who plays the doctor. Interprets
the role so well that the duel is always a
fight worth watching, the clashing of an
tagonistic minds and personalities never
becomes one-sided. Keith Wakeman
never falls below excellence In her play
ing of the woman torn between love for
the man and her inherent devotion to
soul duty. '
Every one who appreciates the very best
the stage has to offer should see "The
Duel," and be glad of the opportunity.
The engagement closes tonight, and it Is
to be -hoped, that an audience worthy of
the offering will be present.

THE production of "Dolly Varden" by
the San Francisco Opera Company
last night was undoubtedly the best work
it has yet done in Portland. From begin
ning to end the performance went with a
swing and a dash, and in every detail the
staging and costuming of the piece re
flected especial, credit upon the manage
ment. Kot only were the costumes par
ticularly rich and elegant, but they at
tested careful study and adaptation from
a period representing the early part of
the eighteenth century.
Aid a Hemmi, as Letitia, was in splen
did voice, and wore two striking costumes
particularly suited to her. Her duet with
Carl Haydn. "To Call Thee Mine," was
real vocal gem, Haydn himself being in
perfect voice and having a part especially
suited to his personality and talents.
Teddy Webb Is really taking a week off
in the role of Lord Gayspark, but inci
dentally furnishes the major share of the
comedy In his portrayal of the agad and
self-satisfied dandy. '
Florence Slnnot. in the role of Dolly
"Varden, created by Lulu Glaser, puts
plenty of animation into the part and
keeps things moving. The way she han
dled the heaviest part of the piece last
night, after only a scant allowance of
rehearsals, does her credit. George Kun
keU who Is a comedian pure and simple,
surprised the audience and got a hearty
hand with his fine rendering of the lyric,
"When We Meet in Lovers' Lane." which
was one of the daintiest touches of the
entire performance. More of Kunkel, In
any piece, would be acceptable.
Albert Wallerstedt's fine baritone has
excellent opportunity in the many tender
love-songs of the role of Captain Rich sard
Bellvllle, and of this opportunity he
makes most pleasing use. His "The Girl
Tou Love," and duet with Miss Slnp.ot,
"What Love Means," were treats In
themselves.
No doubt last night's audience missed
something good when, on account of a
mlsplaeetU orchestration. Teddy Webb's
topical song, "Everybody's Awfully Good
to Me." had to be cut out. Webb guaran
tees, however, that he will sing the song
tonight, without an orchestration if nec
essary, and with this addition the "Dolly
Varden" week ought to be the prize at
traction of the company's engagement.
