PETBAIN. The Portland balltossers celebrated their home-coming by taking a highly exciting- contest from the San Fran cisco players on the Vaughn-street lot yesterday afternoon, by the score of 4 to 3. The game was replete with good, bad and indifferent plays, and most of the hits secured by both teams were of the scratchy variety. In spite -of this, the players worked hard and their good plays more than made up for the few mlscues. , The nip and tuck contest, due to the closeness of the score and the fact that the Seals led for several innings, caused the fans to be on the anxious spat throughout. Henley Goes on Mound. Long Bobby Groom was sent on the mound for the home guard, and at times was so erratic that some jof the fans came near having heart failure. How ever, he rallied nicely after the third inning, and while getting Into several precarious situations, managed to extri cate himself handily. Ralph Willis, who pitched for San Francisco, had some bad luck in the opener, and still more in the sixth. This latter trouble resulted in Kid Mohler using th'e derrick and sending Henley to the front. Portland opened up gloriously. Pearl Casey ambled as the first man, and Cooney sacrilied. Ryan promptly laced one to the fence, which netted him. two sacks by a narrow margin, and at the same time gave Casey the opportunity to dent the register. Tom Raftery was banged on the crazy-bone and was forced at second by McCredie, which advanced Ryan to third. McCredie and Ryan then pulled off a double steal, Ryan scoring the second run. After Bobby Groom had taken care of Nick Williams' effort in the second. Harry Melcholr laced one through Phil Cooney. Phil might have had it, but he didn't stoop quick enough and the ball scooted to Bassey. This seemed to rattle the little fellow, for he messed up Curtis' pop fly. Had it been caught, a double play would have resulted. As it was both Seals were safe. McArdle stopped a wide one with his shoulder, and the bass were loaded. Berry came through with a long fly to Raftery, and gets credit for a sacrifice because Melcholr beat the throw to the plate. Curtis was caught off third a moment later on a quick relay from Madden to Groom to Ryan, and this nifty stunt ended the inning. , Seals Add Two Runs. With two men down In the third. Bobby became wobbly and walked Hlldebrand and Zeider. Williams beat out a bunt to Ryan, which again populated the cushions. This proved bad for Portland, for Harry Melcholr came through with a corking double to left, scoring two more for the Seals. Curtis' effort was a foul fly against the right Held bleacher screen, which was captured by. Danzig after a liRrd run. In making the catch the big first baseman cut two Angers of his right hand severely and had to retire from the game. He will be able to play again in a few days, and In the meantime Johnson will hold down the initial bag. The accident to Danzig may have been for the best, as Johnson's mighty swat in the sixth took some of the ginger out of Willis and made It possible for the scoring of Portlands two runs. Mc Credie led off In this inning with a bunt to McArdle, which he beat out. Then Johnson laced one for two sacks, and Jlecredle went to third. Madden s neat drive chased the manager over. Johnson tried to score on Groom's infield hit but was thrown out by Mohler. Casey's walk and Cooney's hit scored Madden with the run that proved the winner. Yesterday was presentation day for Bobby Groom was tendered a bouquet as he went to bat in the second inning, and Pearl Casey was extended a handsomely mounted Elk's tooth, which was a present Irom his friend. Alex Smith, one of the most enthusiastic fans of the city. Garrett to Pitch Today. Jesse Garrett lias thoroughly recovered from his illness and will probably be sent against the Seals today. The little Texan Is all to the good when he is in shape, and it is possible that he maj repeat the trick of yesterday. San Fran cisco will use either "Cackle" Henley, or Willis Salisbury. The latter Is the same Salisbury who pitched for the champion Portland team of 1901. He will be re membered best for his performance in the memorable lti-inning -same against Jesse StOVSll Of Seattle. riuHncr thtj, scocn McArdle got gay because O'Connell called Johnson safe at third in the eighth, and his exploits were such that the um pire docidPd his presence was unneces sary. Curtis was brought in to third and La Longe ambled to the outer patch. The score: SAX FRANCISCO.

BEN .1 hk ft jaiUiLiliLl v n LEADING 01 CLOTHIER PLAYERS OF RENOWN Tenth Annual Tournament to Be on Irvington Court. CHAMPIONS TO COMPETE Tomorrow and Friday will positively be the last days for discount on West Side cas bills. Portland Gas Co. Holders of Pacific Coast and North west Titles ' Are to Be Present and Play for Championship of Oregon. The tenth annual tennis tournament for the championships of the state o Ore Bon will begin on the courts of the Ir vington Tennis Club next Tuesday morn ing. July 14. TTie coming tourney-is to be at Irvington through the courtesy of the- Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, which turned the affair over to the new club because of the improvements being made to Multnomah field. The Irvington Club has come to the fron rapidly in the last few years, and the energetic members of this new and strictly tennis loving organization are sparing no pains or expense in the effort to make the ap proaching tourney one of the most suc cessful ever held in the Pacific North west. During the tournament week the Ir vington Club will entertain not only the visiting players, but also those local rac quet wielders who are not affiliated with their organization. For this purpose a committee composed of J. Wesley Ladd, Frank J. Raley, Walter Cook and W. D. Brewer has been selected by Chairman Andrews to look after the arrangements for the entertainment of the guests of the club. 'J. Wesley Ladd is chairman of this committee, and through his efforts and the capable assistance offered him by the other committeemen, he has practi cally completed a programme of some thing better than has ever before been attempted by a tennis club of the North west. The fact that a Northwest champion and a Pacific Coast champion are to compete at the local tourney adds re newed Interest in the contests. Miss Hasel Hotchkiss, of Berkeley, Cal., is the holder of the Pacific Coast title for the ladies' singles, and Joe Tyler, of Spo kane, is the champion of the Pacific Northwest among the men. Other Ore gon and Northwest aspirants for titles will be required to exert themselves to the utmost when they meet these celebrities. Portland possesses many good players though who promise to put up strong games. W. A. McBurney, another Spokane star player, is to accompany Tyler to Port land and will contest against him for the Oregon men's single championship, while the two will play together in the doubles. A. Remington, of Olympia, is another Northwestern crack who will be on hand Monday, and so will At. Arm strong, of Tacoma. Frank Payne, also of Tacoma. will probably be present, al though it is somewhat doubtful whether he can absent himself from his business. Joe Tjer is the holder of the Fiske Cup for the championship of the state, and the winner of the men's open Bingles will meet him in a challenge round for this trophy. In addition to the Fiske cup, two new trophy cups are being of fered for the coming tourney- One has been contributed by J. C. Ainsworth and ,the other by the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. The Multnomah cruD has offered two trophies which have been allotted for competition in the men's doubles, each of the victorious pair to re ceive a similar cup. The trophy extended by Mr. - Ainsworth will be contested for in the ladies' open singles. . . The following .committee is in general charge of the tournament F. H. V. An drews, chairman: W. A. Goss, E. A. Caw ston. A. B. McAlpin. James Shives. Brandt Wickersham, Richard Wilder and W.- F. Woodward. The committee has arranged with an auto livery concern for a means of quick dispatch for players on tournament days whereby ' they may take an automobile at. Woodard & Clarke's drugstore at Fourth and Washington streets and be conveyed to the tennis grounds. The vehicles will render a haif-hourly sched ule to and from the club each day of the tourney. The entries will close promptly at 12 o'clock Saturday night, and any received after that time will not be recognized. The following rules will govern the tour ney: Rules of the United States Lava Tennis Association will be observed. The foot fault rule will be strictly enforced. Competitors will play on such courts and at erooh times as the committee may appoint. Competitors not appearing at tht appointed time may be defaulted by the committee. Play will besln at 10 A. M. and 2 P. M. each day. , J. F. Ewlng will act as referee. Butte 15. Tacoma 8. Batteries Thomas and Bender; Butler and Shea. NORTHWEST IiEAGUE. Spokane 9, Aberdeen 8. SPOKANE. Wash., July 7. (Special.) Of-the 59 runs made by the six teams of the Pacific Northwest League today. Spo kane scored 9 and Aberdeen 8, hence the locals won. The game was as loosely played as any seen on the local diamond and was characterized chiefly by the door-die work of Pitcher Wright, of Spo kane. In three innings Aberdeen made three hits and six runs because Spokane made six errors In that, period. Mean while Spokane was smiting the bail, Wright himself made three hits, but lost a two-bagger because he cut first base. He simply refused to be beaten and was encouraged by the smashing proclivities of his team mates. Swinde.tS joins Spo kane and will catch tomorrow. Score: R.H.E.
