When "Heine" Heltmuller slapped
the ball to left field for two sacks In
th ela-hth Inning yesterday afternoon
he spoiled the biggest day's work the
. Beavers have done on the home lot
this year. They had started In from
the ground up and had overcome a
nine-run" lead after the game seemed
hopelessly lost and had sent two back
on stretchers in that canto, when
'Wooden Shoes" laid the willow
against one of Rose's benders and took
all the life out of Portlands players
and Portland's spectators.
It was a brilliant game In spots.
McCredle's second importation from
Texas, Rose, won a home from the
start, although the clouds were mighty
low when he was put into the game.
Jesse Garrett started dishing out what
was supposed to be hltless stuff for
the Beavers, but it proved to have been
the kind most of Van Haltren's boys
were raised on, and they scattered the
ball over the field so fast that the
silent lad was shooed in the second
Inning, with bases full, to make room
for Rose. ,
The new curvester went In cold and
five runs were made off him, but In
the next five innings the Commuters
could not have driven a run. over the
plate with a pile-driver. Only two
more hits did they get, one in the
third and oneln- the seventh, until
Anderson beat out a bouncer over
Rose in tne-lghtn. and then Heine
pulled off his star stunt to break, up
the game.
While McCredie was parading his
heroes before 3000 admiring eyes. Van
Haltren was having a little side
show of hla own with a bunch of
players that wouid have been as
strange as a fishbone In apple pie, had
not Truck Eaian'i jar-stained visage
been discovered around the short
field. La Longe, a borrow from San
Francisco, was behind the bat Ander
son, a pickup from New England, was
on third. Lewis, not the catcher, but a
new one from unknown quarters, was
In left. Ash Houston was on second
and Christian, from Texas, was on the
mound.
New Texan a Wonder.
He is not a pound "bigger than
Garrett, but Is just as gritty. The
Beavers turned their fiercest batteries
loose on him. but he stood his ground
and was as liable to Tan the .next man
after a home run as anything else. He
struck out 11 men. getting everybody
but Ryan and Cooney.
Garrett opened the game by walking
Cook and Anderson. Heltmuller sacri
ficed and Eagan. Slattery and La
Longe hit in succession, scoring three.
Casey hit to center for Portland and
Bassey got life, forcing him at second.
Johnson. Danzig and Raftery hit in a
row, but Bassey was the only one who
could tally.
Portland's blowup came in the sec
ond. Houston went out to left. Lewis
hit past second. Christian walked.
Cook hit to left, filling the bases, and
Garrett retired in favor of Rose.
Anderson hit the first ball to right,
scoring Lewis. Heltmuller hit to left
and Eagan hit a high fly right Into
Ryan's hands. He dropped It and two
more crossed the rubber disc.
Slattery flew out to right and on
Ryan's high return to home Anderson
cored. Heltmuller came In when
Cooney fumbled the ball.
Ote Johnson started the uphill climb
in the third by putting tho first bail
offered him out of the lot. Raftery
singled in his turn and scored on
Cooney's three-bagger between left
and center. Cooney rang the bell
when Lewis dropped Madden's liner
right Into his hands.
Christian fanned the first three men
the next fining, but In the fifth the
returned gods flirted with the plate
a couple of times again. Raftery and
Ryan led off with hits. Cooney
walked and two men scored on Casey's
single.
The Beavers made a run without a
hit In the sixth. Ote. walked, went to
second on an out. stole third and
scored on Houston's error of Ryan-'s
grounder.
Cooney Throws Ball Away.
The real excitement came in the sev
enth. Portland was one behind then
and the Oaks made It two on Heit
muller's single and Cooney's throwing
the ball away.
In their half the Beavers dug in
deep. Bassey walked. Johnson hit to
right. Bassey took third and tallied on
Raftery' fourth blngle. Ryan hit to
left and Johnson reached third. Ander
son let the tnrow get away from him on
the return and Johnson stole home
with It lying between three Oakland
players. That tied the score. The
crowd went wild and was only tamed
when Heltmuller took the yell out of
It the next canto.
The star fielding feature was Casey's
great stop of Cook's grounder In the
eighth. It went close to first base, but
Peart nabbed it one-handed, whirled
and tossed It to Danzig. Cook kicked
himself out of the game over the
decision. Danzig broke into the stel
lar column, too, with a great one
handed stop in the sixth. Cooney lined
a high on across the diamond, but

Jl !VGLE KING IX HIS CAGE AT CITT PARK.
An operation to clip the claws of Nero, the huge African lion at the City Park Zoo. was success
fully performed at 8 o'clock yesterday morning by Veterinary Surgeon Creamer, Trainer Herman and Park
keener Mlsche. There were no accidents, but It wa only because due precautions, were taken to prevent
anything of the kind. Nero was at first In no mood to be trifled with and he wielded his great paws
viciously in a vain effort to strike those who were about to render him a kindness.
The cage had been strengthened In which the old lion lives, but, in addition to that precaution. Park
keeper Mische had constructed a very strong cage, just large enough to hold Nero. Into this the big beast
was driven and the door was securely fastened. Preparations had been made to administer chloroform,
but because of the arrangements this was unnecessary. '
. Once Inside the small cage, the operation was accomplished without difficulty. The claws were
trimmed and Nero was relieved of the pain that they had caused by growing Into the flesh. That he felt
better immediately was evident by his actions. - When the -first application of a big pair of clips was.
made to a claw Nero bellowed fiercely, but after the claw was cut he did not repeat it, and the remainder
of the task was accomplished easier.
It has been apparent to Park keeper Mische for some time that an operation must be performed, as the
lion's claws had grown so long they curled Into the flesh and caused much pain. Nero has been grow
ing more ugly and ferocious daily. Because of his past record, some feared that the big beast might try
to kill one or two of those engaged In the work, and It was for that reason that great care was taken.
Nero is known as a "bad one," as he has skilled two men and nearly put another out of business before he
was locked up for good. He was formerly with a circus, and the men he slew were trainers.
Hal stood on one toe and hooked It
out from among the birdies.

ALLEN WINTER WINNER
Indianapolis Horse Carries Of!
Three-fifths of $50,000 Purse at
Readville, Mass Crowd of
20,000 Witnesses Race.
READVILLE, Mass., Aug. 25. The well
earned victory of M. H. Reardon's In
dianapolis stallion, Allen Winter, at the
Readvile track today, thereby capturing
the largest share of the 350,000 American
trotting handicap from a field of 33 start
ers, is believed by many of the 20.000 fol
lowers of harness racing who eaw the
contest to establish a new era in the his
tory of the sport, and to insure its re
juvenation in this country.
The race was novel in its conditions,
which placed the horses at marks from
one-quarter to three-eighths of a mile be
hind the usual starting point, on a hani
dlcap based on their previous perform
ances, and at the conclusion It appeared
to be the general opinion of all who saw
the two preliminary heats and the grand
finale that this system of racing would
become popular In the future.
N First Race of Season.
It was the first race In which Allen
Winter had trotted this year, and Lon
McDonald, his driver, sized up the field
In the two preliminary heats. In the first
he watched 16 horses, placed at marks
from 1320 to 1720 feet behind the usual
starting line, sweep once and a quarter
around the track to a grand finish with
Bervaldo in the lead. In the second heat,
with his own horse 1570 feet from the
wire and 6870 feet to travel, he pushed
Allen Winter carefully but ' surely past
three other horses 'and kept ahead of the
others, finishing a good third.
First Heat in 2:08.
The first heat had been run off at a
2:08 gait for the mile, but the second was
a few seconds slower.
Then came the battle for final honors,
and the money, with 16 well-known trot
ters in the field, the fastest being Sweet
Marie, 2:05. Through a system of electrla
wires, which ran from each starting
Judge to a big bell, it was possible for
each Judge to signal when his own horses
were on the mark and facing the right
direction. When all the Judges were
unanimous the bell rang automatically
and the field was away.
Come in Procession.
As they turned into the stretch and
raced under the wire for the first time
it looked like a long procession and
there was very little change in posi
tion. At the quarter pole Kim drew out
a trifle, while the entire field seemed
well strung out. At the three-eighths
the horses began to bunch up, and the
result seemed to be four divisions, with
Kim out ahead and Sweet Marie coming
up fast on the outside of the last bunch.
The pace to the three-quarters pole
never slackened. The slow horses up
ahead were tiring fast, and the fast
horses behind were coming up strong.
The field came around the turn Into the
stretoh like a Roman chariot race, with
three teams abreast, and twelve horses
lined up for a grand dash of an eighth of
a mile to the wire.
Wins by Five Lengths.
At that point It seemed anybody's race,
but 200 yards from the finish McDonald
shot Allen Winter out of the bunch, and
urging the big stallion along at the top
of his speed, drew away rapidly and
won by five lengths. The next horses
came under the wire in a bunch and the
Judges were nearly 10 minutes In arriving
at their conclusions.
There had been no question, however,
as to Allen Winter, and as McDonald
came back he was lifted from the sulky
and carried up the track on the shoul
ders of his shouting admirers.
It was found that Prince had captured
second money and San Francisco third
money. Geers. who drove Teasels and
Andrews, behind Sweet Marie, were
beaten about 50 feet by the place win
ners. Summary:

GLORIFYING DAILY TASKS
Simplicity, System and Repose the
Essence of Housekeeping.
Youth's Companion.
"Simplicity, system and repose," were
the three essentials of successful house
keeping named by one speaker at the
recent gathering of the General Federa
tion of Women's Clubs in Boston. An
other speaker bade those who would
achieve domestic success and abolish
worry and the sense of drudgery to
"simplify, classify, jollify and glorify"
their daily work.
There are. and there have been in the
past, good housekeepers who, conscious
ly or by instinct, observed these rules.
There are, and still more there used to
be, notable housewives by whom sim
plicity, Jollity and glory were blessings
hustled fiercely out of life. Such a
"driver" In the expressive old country
phrase, was that misguided housekeep
er whose daughter, summoned by mys
terious sounds downstairs at midnight,
caught her cleaning tha china-closet at
that uncomfortable hour, because, as
she explained, she "she couldn't bear to
waste such a fine moon."
She had, at least, the excuse that
lighting in her day was expensive and
Inadequate, for she lived a century, ago.
But It was a modern housekeeper of the
same unrestful type who recently wor
ried her family and herself, during an
attack of Illness, by a constant dwell
ing on the Spring housecleaning. One
day she was told that the work had
been done. She flung herself out of
bed and tottered toward the door.
"Housecleaning done and without
me!" she gasped. "Help me downstairs.
I know it's all done wrong, and I must
see at once how wrong it Is!"
Then she collapsed and was put
weeping to bed. But by the time her
recovery began the house was really
quite hopefully dirty, and she Insisted
upon passing her convalescence direct
ing the process of cleaning.
"Your mother Is such a wonderful
housekeeper," a neighbor remarked to
one of the daughters at the close of a
call.
"Yes," assented the girl, loyally, "she
is. I doubt If she could be really happy
in the loveliest house in the world if it
magically kept Itself."
Yet that Is the kind of house that
keeping house too hard makes one long
for. Simplicity, system and repose give
the true home a touch of gentle magic
