TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1903. T TEAM IN LEAGUE Portland Batters Terror to Pitchers of AN Other -Clubs. LOS ANGELES IS SECOND Oakland Third and San Francisco Last Tom Maddcn's Great Stick Work Averages of All Players In League. slotting averages for the entire league liave been compiled by The Oregonian, Including last Sunday's games, and show that Portland Is leading the league. McCredle's bunch as a team has a bat ting average of .266, while their nearest rival In team batting Is the Los Angeles club, with an average of .250. Oakland Is third and San Francisco winds up at the tall end In this department. The Seals, however, make up whatever they may lack In the hitting department with their baserunning. In which lino they have a nice lead over the other clubs. The San Francisco club is without a single .300 hitter, for Williams and Melcholr. their two best batters, have suffered heavily during the past week on account of the fine work of the Portland pitchers. The averages compiled below Include all the league games up to and Including the Iecoratlon day double-headers. The premier batsman of the league Is Slattcry, the heavy-hitting Oakland catcher, who continues to clout the sphere for better than .400. Koestncr, the Angel twlrler, has an average a few points bet ter than Slattery's, but he has not par ticipated In nearly as many games. Tom Madden, Portland's hard and most timely hitting backstop. Is second to Slattery among the regulars, and has the splendid average of .345 to his credit up to Sat urday's contest. Easterly, the Seraphic catcher, is another player who Is num bered among the select circle of sluggers. After Easterly and Oakes, who Is an other Angel In the .300 class, comes Man nger McCredie, Jack Ryan and "Count Tamale" Bassey, all of whom are ripping the cover off the Spalding in the most approved manner. Heine Heitmuller and Dolly Gray are aiso among the premiers. Hal Danzig and Tom Raftery. who were, up to a short time ago, numbered among the .300 hitters, have slumped and are now batting around .280, but say they will not be there long, for each expects to fatten up shortly and regain the ranks of the sluggers. Phil Cooney, Portland's diminutive shortstop, has made the most remarkable showing of any of the players In Lie bat ting department. When Portland; came home four weeks ago, Cooney was cred ited with an average of .125: not a very high mark, to be sure, but when the fact is known that he has Increased this to .190 since he has been at home. It is a remarkable showing. The averages are as follows: Team, Batting, Etc Club. AB. R. H. PC. SB. PH.

CASEY THERE AS AX UMPIRE Incidentally Multnomah and Varsity 11 Break Even In Two-Good Games. The University of Oregon and Multno mah Amateur Athletic Club teams played a double-header on the Vaughn-street grounds yesterday afternoon, and broke even, each winning a victory. In the first game Multnomah played an excep tionally brilliant game, and with the splendid pitching of Fred DeNeffe, the former Oregon twirler, won handily by a 2 to 0 score. Oregon was helpless before the former Eugene pitcher, and the field ing of. his support prevented the visitors from getting within hailing distance of the register. In the second game Ed Morris went against the collegians and his shoots were found at timely intervals, which resulted in Oregon gaining the ascendancy by a 4 to 1 score. Several fine plays were thrown into the matinee and a good crowd assembled to see the speedy var sity and the clubmen In action. Pearl Casey, captain and second baseman of the Portland Pacifio Coast League team, officiated as umpire, and made Jack O'Connell, Bull Perrine. "'Slats'" Davis and all the others look like amateurs. He has it on "Silk" O'Laughlin as the real article In the shape of a diamond autocrat, and the only reason he might fail to make a good umpire is that his voice needs cultivating. KEEME'S COLT IS FIRST CELT TOS THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP WITH EASE. Cheered on to Victory by Crowd of 25,000 at Gravesend Breaks Track Record. NEW YORK, June 1. Cheered by more than 25,000 persons, Celt, a S-year-old colt, bearing the popular colors of James R. Keene, won the 22d running of the Brooklyn handicap at the Gravesend race track today. He did It easily, but at the same time made a new record for the race and the Gravesend track, step ping the distance, one mile and a quar ter, in 2:04 2-5. Fair Play, August Bel mont's colt, which ran a grand race agaijist Colin on Saturday In the Belmont stakes, was second and Master Robert was third. The Gravesend course was backed with people' eager to see the run ning of the handicap. When the bugle sounded for the race there was a sound of applause for the favorite Keene colors as Celt came from the paddock to the post. Ridden by Not- ter, he cantered past the grandstand, looking the winner that he proved to be. At the start he was second to get away. but after the first half mile he led his field and from that time to the finish he was never in danger, winning with the greatest of ease in new record time for the race and tne course over wnicn. it was run. As he came down the stretch well ahead and almost eased up by his Jockey, a great cheer went up from the throng in the grandstand and on the lawns. The great Colin and his brother In blood, Celt, both sons of Commando, have won such Impressive victories last year and this that the people have come to the point of almost idolijslng them, and they have done much to make Mr. Keene's white with the blue polka dots the most popular colors of the day and perhaps even in the history of American racing. Colin, by winning the Belmont stakes on Saturday, and Celt's victory in the handicap today, add J40.000 to Mr. Keene's stake winnings in two consecu tlve days. Six Furlong Rose Hon won. Berry Maid second King Cobalt third. Time 1:10. Mile' and a Sixteenth Hyperion II. won. Roekstone second. Black Oak, third. Time, 1:47 2-5.

Harry McClure, office boy for the Willamette Pulp & Paper Co., sustained severe in juries today by a fall from a blcyeUe while coming down Singer Hill. His wheel struck a telephone pole and the boy was cut behind theear'and over one eye. In a dazed condition he walked down to Frank Busch's store, forgetting his bicycle, and asked for some screws, having an order from the mill. His be havior was strange and he remarked that he had been held up. but that the highwaymen did not get his watch. The boy was placed in the care of the com pany's,physlcian and taken home, and he will probably be all right in a ,few days. Amusements What the Press Agent Say. See "The HalXbreed."

Pernoll to Work in Open . ing Engagement. BT W. J. PETRAIJf. Captain Frank Dillon and the rest of Hen Berry's league leaders -will arrive In Portland this morning, and on the Vaughn-street lot this afternoon the struggle between Los Angeles and Port land tor first place will be inaugurated. The opening game against Los Angeles should result in Portland gaining the pre mier position for the first time this sea son. All that is necessary for McCredle's men to do to accomplish this is to van quish the Dillon tribe in the first contest of the series, after which it can be said that Portland has occupied every position In the race. To climb from last place af ter losing seven straight games at the start certainly is going some, and the se cret of the success of the Portland team lies In the fact that it is the premier batting club of the league. It is practicaiy a cinch that McCredie will work Pernoll today and then again about Saturday or Sunday. Los Angeles seems helpless against left-handed pitch ers, for Pernoll has pitched four games against that club this season and won all of them, while Hopkins of Oakland has nearly duplicated this trick, for he has lost but one to the Southern host. The Angel band is a hard nut for any club , to crack, and its performances against the Seals in the two series played so far indicate that it has as much on the Bay City contingent as has the Port land team. In the series between Port land and San Francisco .the McCredie forces have taken 13 out of the last 50 engagements with the Mohler outfit. Pretty good, huh? On the last appearance of the Dillon tribe in our midst only three of the six regularly scheduled matinees were pulled off, rain preventing the others. To the large amusement of the fans the home guard annexed the entire trio, and a few of the rapidly en thusiastic ones figure the Portlanders to make a clean sweep of the series which la to be inaugurated this afternoon. The wiseacres have it all doped out this way: Pernoll is to win both his games. and likewise Bobby Groom, and Kinsella and Garrett can each be depended upon to cop the money in the games in which they work. Looks mighty good on paper, but the Los Angeles bunch may punc ture the bubble, for Dillon, Brashear, Oakes, Ellis. "Dolly" Gray. Hosp, Ran dolph and the rest of the lads from the orange belt are by no means weaklings in any department. ; Today's game will start at the usual hour, 3:30 P. M.. and a recordbreaking Tuesday crowd will be out to welcome the return of the Angels and to watch the Portland boys take the lead away from them. ' If ATIONAJj L HAGUE. Spilt Even at Cincinnati.
