BY W. J. 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.

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.

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
