GETS TWO, STRAIGHT FALLS
First In 15 Minutes and 25 Seconds
and Second In 25 Minutes and 54
Seconds Wins by Crotch and
Hair - Nelson Hold. '
8EATTL.E. July 1. Frank Gotch. of
Humboldt, la., maintained his right to
the world's catch-as-catch-can wrestling
championship tonight when he out-classed
Dr. B. F. Roller, of Seattle, winning two
consecutive falls In 15 minutes and 25
seconds, and 25 minutes and 54 Beconds,
respectively.
The men entered the ring weighing close
to 200 pounds each. Roller may have been
a pound or two the heavier.
They went at It like bulls from the
very start and Gotch was soon forcing
matters. He worked his notorious toe
hold six times in succession in the first
bout. Roller broke away each time, but
It wore on him ami finally Gotch downed
him with a crotch and half-Nelson.
Roller did better work In the second
bout, but Gotch was like a terrier after
a rat. and went from hold to hold with
startling rapidity. Roller's best work In
this round was to break a half Nelson
and a crotch, after being seemingly lost.
He was finally picked up and dumped to
his shoulders from the same hold. It is
doubtful If he was really downed, but
It was only a question of minutes any
way, as he was at Gotch's mercy.
Eddie Gatfney, of Seattle, was referee.
Owing to the high prices, the crowd
was not more than 3000.

Beaver Manager Says District At
torney-Elect Cameron Is Loyal
Fan Himself.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1. (Special.)
-Walter McCredie is not particularly
worried over the story trom Portland
regarding 'the announcement that Dis
trict Attorney-elect Cameron was con
sidering stopping Sunday baseball.
"The new District Attorney," said
McCredie, "Is a great baseball fan him
self and never misses any games. He
attended Sunday baseball, as well as
hundreds of our best people. If there
is any trouble we can easily get the
railroad company to build us a park
where the law will not Interfere. But
I don't look for any serious opposition
to Sunday baseball."
While no announcement was made. It
Is known that McCredie expects to
have Hess, the Cleveland pitcher, very
shortly. Ho has a wire from Cleveland
stating that waivers have been asked
on Hess, and in case there is no pro-
test filed, Hess will be shipped to the
Pacific Coast at once. In order to
strengthen the team as much aa pos
sible during the Illness of Garrett, Mc
Credie has signed Pitcher Roy McFar
land, who was released the day pre
vlous by the Oakland management.
"I'm after that pennant this year,"
said McCredie, "and if money will help
us get It, the money will be spent.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1. (Special.)
The Seals took their second straight fall
out of the Beavers this afternoon by the
same score as yesterday, 4 to 2. The vic
tory was brought labout by a couple of
good rallies with the club and the wild-
ness of young Marshall, who passed six
men in three . innings and was lucky to
get out as easily as he did.
Marshall passed Melchoir.sWIlliams and
Henderson in a row in the third and Wll
Hams registered on Berry's out short
to first. During the fourth, Melcholr
singled to left, Curtis sacrificed and Hen
derson brought in the run with a double
over the first bag.
Portland made it a deadlock in the
fifth. Danzig and Madden both found the
ball safely, Marshall bunting them on
their way. Cooney responded with a
drive to right and both came in, Cooney
being pegged out going to second.
The Seals broke It up for fair in the
sixth. Henderson started with a torrid
one, over first. Berry bunted and they were
both safe on Marshall's slow toss to sec
ond. After Henley had died, on a bunted
fly to Marshall, Mohler rapped a double
to the centerfleld fence and both runners
registered. The score:

SEATTLE SPIRIT BEATEN
YACHT ALEXANDRA WINS FIRST
RACE AT VANCOUVER.
Challenger Leads Defender "by Half
an Hour In Contest for
Dunsmuir Cup. y
VANCOUVER. B. C. July 1. The Van
couver'' yacht Alexandra today won the
first of the series , of three, races for the
Dunsmuir cup. The challenger won by
half an hour over the winner of last
year's race, the Spirit, sailed then and
now by Ted Geary, of Seattle. The sec
ond race will occur Friday, and If a de
ciding event is necessary It will be sailed
on Saturday. The race today took' three
hours to a minute the time being well
within the five hours allowed under the
rules. Admittedly it was sailed in Alex
andra's weather. The Alexandra appeared
to show better at every stage of the
contest this afternoon.
This was a public holiday Confedera
tion day in Vanqouver, and no such
crowd ever gathered before for a single
event In this city. Thirty thousand peo
ple crowded the beaches and the excur
sion steamers, and the fieet of small craft
was the largest on record. The Dominion
government cruiser Kestrel was the
judges' boat.
The breeze came from the northwest
and the first leg of the course, to Point
Grey buoy, for five miles, was a run al
most to windward. It was here that
Geary's boat to win was obliged to es
tablish a lead. She had an advantage of
13 seconds at the start, and on the first
three miles of a lovely run directly toward
the Point Grey buoy she Increased her
lead to at least 300 yards. By this time
the boats were under Point Grey, where
sailing is rendered difficult by the pres
ence of a long sand spit.' Here it was
that expert knowledge of the tides
counted.
Deane stood in chore, calculating that
there was plenty of water for him over
the shoal, and took advantage of the tall
of the outgoing tide. In the space of
half a mile Deane succeeded in reversing
the positions of the boats. He was 300
yards behind when he drove his boat Into
the tide near shore; ten minutes later he
was 300 yards ahead In a direct line for
the buoy. After that the Alexandra led.
The lead of the challenger became
greater until she crossed the line at
1:59:05. The defender crossed at 2:39:40.
The official starting times were: Alexan
dra, 11:00:17; Spirit, 11:00.04. In the light
air work the showing of Alexandra was a
big surprise.
EYEBRIGHT WINS ONCE MORE

SEATTLE, Wash., July 1. (Special.)
Eyebright, who only recently graduated
from the plater class, repeated today in
a brilliant win of the Georgetown Handi
cap, beating such good horses as Kdwin
T. Fryer and Johsmy Lyons. Archibald
took the big gelding out In front and tip
toed his field the entire mile and one
eighth, the first time he had gone the
distance.
After three favorites had run into sec
ond position, two came through for a
win, and John H., a well-played second
choice, annexed the last. Metlakatala In
the first and Colwarwlck in the second
were the surprises of the afternoon.

LEAD IN VICTORIES
Seals Have Won Oftener Than
Beavers.
THREE CLUBS . ARE TIED
Peculiar Situation in Coast League
Is Due to Large Number of
Games in Portland Can
celed by Rain.
The Pacific Coast League standing
furnishes a peculiar combination of
figures. A glance at the ranking of the '
clubs shows that San Francisco, which I
is bringing up the rear of the proces-
sion, has won more games than has
Portland, the leading club. The Los
Angeles club, which is second, and the
Oakland club, which is third in the
race, have each won as many games
as has the leaders, but have lost sev
eral more. This situation is due to the
fact that Portland has suffered the
postponement of a large number of
games scheduled for this city, and dur
ing the rainy weeks here the other
clubs managed o play nearly all the
games scheduled in San Francisco,
where at least seven games are sched
uled for each week.
This is probably the first time in his
tory that the tail-end club of a league
has been credited 'with more victories
than the leading team. Portland, the
leading team, has won 38 and lost 33
games, while San Francisco, the tail-
end team,' has won 39 and lost 43
games, which shows that the . latter
club has played just 11 more games
than has Portland. . Los Angeles and
Oakland have also played more games
than has Portland, and McCredie s lads
have' lost fewer contests than any rival
club. (
The loss of the last two games to
San Francisco has not jeopardized
Portland's lead, for the reason that
Oakland has defeated Los Angeles on
the same days. "Slim" Nelson, who
pitched winning ball for Tacomailn the
Northwestern League last year, and
who has been playing with the Cali
fornia outlaw league, because he
balked at going to the Southern
League, has finally joined the Oakland
club, and made his debut yesterday, de
feating Los Angeles, McCredie was
after Nelson, but got in just too late.
The Portland manager Is now concen
trating his energies toward -landing a
big-leaguer to help out his badly-crippled
pitching corps.
Manager Mac needs a first-class
pitcher badly, and will have one at any
cost. Groom Is now his only reliable
box artist, and the lanky one gets off
bad on occasions. Kinsella has done
good work on the road, but is probably
betngf worked too much. Garrett is
still on the sick list, and has not
pitched a game since the team left
home several weeks ago.
When they return next Tuesday,
Manager McCredie hopes to have his
twlrlers in good shape, and if he does
the Portland team will be In line for
a handsome lead by the time it takes
to the road again in August-
Oscar Jones Is due to take another
fling at McCredle's men today, and as
Lanky Robert will oppose him, it will
probably be a Portland day at the Bay
City. Jones has been trimmed bo Ire
quently of late that it would be a
surprise If he were to come out vic
torious. BUYS MOTOR-BOAT "FLIRT'

Senator Piatt's Persecutor Now
Faces Charge of Perjury.
NEW TORK, July 1. Mae C. Wood, the
Omaha woman who sued United Stales
Senator Thomas C. Piatt for divorce, was
indicted by the Grand Jury today on a
charge of perjury and forgery.
Miss Wood is charged with having

Miss Wood also produced a document
bearing what purported to be the Sena
tor's signature, acknowledging her as his
wife. The Senator denied that he had
ever signed it, and produced a witness
who testified that she had obtained the
Senator's signature to a blank sheet of
paper, which she gave to Miss Wpod.
The Senator paid J10.000 for the return
of letters he wrote to Miss Wood.
Justice O'Gorman dismissed Miss Wood's
suit and ordered her arrest on the charge
of perjury.
