BY w. j: petrain.
Portland's new southpaw pitcher. Jack
Graney, made his debut yesterday, and
one bad inning gave Los Angeles the
first game of the new series between the
home guard and the rowdy bunch from
the Southland. The score was 6 to 5.
Rowdy Is a fitting term to apply to the
Angels, for Bernard's tactics In kicking
the Los Angeles bats when Whaling was
about to grab Ellis' pop foul In the fifth
oan be Justly termed nothing else. Whal
ing is none too good on fouls as It is,
and all that was needed was a Rowdy
Bernard trick to accomplish the resulting
muff.
The crowd hissed and Graney lost his
man, for he passed the "Rube," opening
the way for the slaughter that followed.
Delmas laced one to right field which Mc
Credie kicked about long enough to allow
the "Rube" to reach third. "Happy"
Hogan, who had also made himself
obnoxious by coaching from the bench,
then laced a line drive which Johnson
cleverly captured with one hand and
threw Delmas out at first completing a
louble-play.
Score With Two Out.
With two out, this should have dispelled
the gloom but Dolly Gray succeeded in
xinnecting with a likaable one for two
oases and Ellis scored the first run.
Bernard was hit by a pitched ball, and
Beorjre Wheeler, who is old enough to be
-etired on a pension, hit for two bases
chasing in Gray, and Bernard. Oakes
knocked a hot one to Graney, which went
for a hit on the score sheet, and Wheeler
took third. Brashear laced a long fly to
leep right center which Raftery managed
o reach but failed to hold and two more
runs were scored. Jud Smith was easy
on a fly to Bassey and the swatfest was
over.
Graney made an excellent impression.
He is cool and collected and seemingly
has some mystifying curves up his left
sleeve. Outside of the one bad Inning,
Los Angeles was never dangerous in spite
Df the fact that Graney had men on the
paths quite frequently because of his
wildness. All told he walked six men and
hit one. Gray did nearly as badly in
this line, passing six Portlanders to first.
Had the Beavers been hitting as Is usually
their custom, the visitors would not have
hud a look in even with their six runs.
Portland secured one lone bingle off
Gray in the first six innings, yet scored
two runs In that time. The first was
chased over In the initial canto. Casey
went out. Ryan was passed and stole
second. Johnson also walked, but Danzig
smashed a corking single to center which
wave Ryan his incentive to score. In
the fourth Danzig walked, and took
second on Bassey's sacrifice. Gray at
tempted to catch the big fellow off the
bag. but threw badly, and Danzig raced
to third. McCredie proved a good waiter
and the two then started to pull oft a
double steal, Danzig scoring while the
manager was beins retired at second.
Los Angeles added one more to the five
made in the fifth, when Oakes' double
and Brashear's single gave Oakes an op
portunity to score in the seventh.
Bearers Rally In Eighth.
Portland started a rally in the eighth
In which the home team came within one
of tying up the score. Ryan led off with
a bunt that he beat out. Raftery hit
safely, and Johnson scored Ryan with a
lirive over first. Danzig's out scored
Raftery, and Bassey followed with an
other out chasing Johnson over. Mc
Credle secured a flukey hit, but was
tossed out on an attempted steal while
Madden was at bat, the latter having
been sent in to hit in place of Whaling.
Another batting bee was started in the
ninth, but as Madden had fanned, and
also Cooney who batted for Graney, the
tilts of Casey and Ryan brought no re
mits. Raftery also fanned retiring the
line.
Pitcher Graney is all right and will do
Very nicely in filling out McCredie's pitch
ing staff. Captain Frank Dillon is tem
porarily out of the game, owing to an
evident in the Sunday morning game at
Oakland. In the meantime George
Wheeler, the ancient one, is holding down
the bag. and is doing it as well as the
Angel captain at that.
"Adonis" Nagle will likely be delegated
lo shoot them over for Los Angeles today,
while McCredie will depend upon "Slim"
Marshall.

from the Portland fans when Umpire Jack
O'Connell. advised by Managers McCredie

San Francisco team that returned yester
day from the North said:
"I cannot understand why that gi?.me

had been all the afternoon and we could
easily have played five more innings at

COURTS IN PERFECT SHAPE
Interest Centers in Play of Miss
Hotchkiss, Who, With Miss Lead
better, Defeats Miss Carsten
and Miss Fox.
Ideal weather conditions and an ex
cellent exhibition of tennis marked the
opening yesterday of the tenth annual
tournament for the championships of the
State of Oregon. The ladies' doubles
during the afternoon were undoubtedly
the, features of the day.
The tournament was opened on the Ir
Vington courts and large crowds wit
nessed the day's events. This year's en
tries are said to be the largest and of a
better class than in any previous year
with the exception of 1905. A number
of crack players from different points of
the Northwest have entered the competi
tion and practically all the high-class
local players are among the entries.
Among the stars from other cities who
have entered are: Joe Tyler, of Spokane,
holder of the Fiske cup; C. J. Hall, of
Everett; Lewis R. Freeman, of Pasadena,
who will arrive this morning; A. Reming
ton and James Lyon, of Tacoma, and W.
A. McBurney, of Spokane. Others are
expected to arrive.
Fast Players Among Women.
The stellar female, visitor at the courts
Is Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, of Berkeley.
Among the local women who are to par
ticipate are Mrs. Walter Cook, Miss Hus
ton and Miss Fording. Miss Hotchkiss.
by the way, is the only woman who has
ever taken a set from Morris McLaugh
lin, champion of the Coast.
Refreshments were served at the Ir
vlngton courts yesterday by Mrs. H. L.
Corbett, Misses Failing and Miss Frances
Wilson. Last night an Informal recep
tion was held.
A number of interesting matches were
witnessed yesterday. Among the most
interesting was the game between G. W.
McMillan and W. Kahn. McMillan
showed that his constant practice has
Improved his game for his lobbying was
almost perfect and he showed very good
generalship throughout the match, win
ning by a score of 6-0. 6-2.
C. J. Hall, of Everett, Wash., one of
the visiting players, proved by his game
with Mr. Warriner that he is very well
acquainted with the sport-and much may
be expected of him during the progress of
play.
Miss Goss Beats Miss Fording.
Only one game of the ladies' singles
was played. This was the game between
Miss Goss and Miss Fording. The
match was very exciting and much closer
than the score of 6-1, 6-1 shows.
The ladles' doubles were the most ex
citing games of the day. Mies Hazel
Hotchkiss. of California, and her Port
land partner. Miss Leslie Leadbetter,
were matched against Miss Lilly Fox
and Miss Lilly Carsten, both of Portland.
This was the first appearance of Miss
Hotchkiss and many were anxious to get
a line on her playing. She alternates
speed with a Iclever chop stroke that
often caught her opponents napping. Her
ability to volley is the point on which
she surpasses the local players.
It really was unfortunate that Miss Fox
and Miss Carsten were matched against
the other team so early in the tourna
ment, as they showed fine teamwork and
if they had played a trifle more In order
to gain confidence the results might have
been different. Miss Hotchkiss was very
ably supported by her partner Miss Lead
better and It would be very difficult to
find a ladies' team in the Northwest that
could beat the combination. The score of
the game was 6-1, 7-&.

Britain captured most of the laurels in
the first real business day of the Olympic
sporta. Twice the Stars and Stripes flut
tered to the top of the staff In the center
of the stadium, and the American enthu

in cheers which. In a smaller Held, would

the performance of John J. Flanagan,

breaking the Olympic record with the
hammer and the almost equally good

to the foreigners.

spectacular work and aroused a greater
degree of enthusiasm by crossing the
tape ahead of his English rivals in a
dashing finish to the 1500-meter run. This
the Englishmen had counted on for Wil
son, of Hallows, no prophets conceding
the American any better than third
place. -
The two American runners Shephard
and Sullivan, lay back In the first
stage of the race and let the English
men take the lead. Shephar'i was
fourth until the last stretch. As the
men started to sprint on the back
stretch of the final lap, Wilson was in
the lead. As they turned in the straight
Shephard sprinted the last 100 yards
and, passine; his competitors, crossed
the tape lhi yards ahead of Wilson.
Hallows was five yards behind Wilson
Tait of Canada finished fourth. The
runners held well together until the
last 100 yards.
To add to the satisfaction of the Amer
leans, the Judges announced that G. W.
Gaidzick, of the Chicago Athletic Club,
had done the best work In fancy diving.
The British pedestrians had their own
way In the 3500-meter walk. There were
no American competitors In this event.
The 20-kilometer cycle race was the most
cosmopolitan event of the day. L. G
Wientz. of the New York Athletic Club
made a desperate effort, but he was un
able to secure a place in the final sprint.
The eight riders were well bunched In the
last lap and It was only in the final 100
yards that the nght was decided.
Race for All Nations.
The first' three heats of the three-mile
team race were interesting. The United
Kingdom was pitted against Italy, Hol
land and Germany In the first, and in the
second the Americans met teams repre
sentlng Sweden and France. Great
Britain had a walkover in the first heat,
four members of her team keeping to
gether throughout, running their op-
ponents off their legs and coming under
the wire elbow to elbow in slow time,
The- American competitors set a faster
pace In their heat, but on n earing the
finish the Frenchman, Bouin, shot ahead
of the field, and the best the Americans
could get was second and third places.
The Canadians, who were expected to
make a good showing in this heat, failed
to appear. The final will be contested to
morrow by the three first men of each
team,
The other interesting number on the
programme today was the 660-yard cycle
race, of which there were 16 heats. Of
this number the United Kingdom won six
France three and America one, her only
entry being Cameron; Holland, Canada,
Africa, Germany and Belgium, one each,
while one heat was void because the time
limit was exceeded.
The games were as bewildering to watch
as a three-ring circus. At one time a
dozen bicyclists were wheeling along the
outer edge oi the oval, while 20 runner a
were racing on the cinderpath just in
side of it, swimmers with bright-colored
caps were splashing through the long
tank, and on the green sward within,
members of the Danish and German gym
nastic clubs, arrayed in glaring white
uniforms, were performing spectacular
feats on the horizontal and parallel bars
and giving exhibitions of calisthenic drills.
Judges, scorers, trainers, timers and rub
bers of the many nationalities represented
swarmed everywhere.
