It was a pretty piece of pitch ing on Groom's part and in only one in ning., the seventh, could Oakland do any thing against him. For the first four in nings only three Californlans batted in each inning and not a hit was made oft ' Groom until the seventh. It began to look like the Californlans would be shut .out without a hit when they got together In the seventh and gave the fans a scare, scoring three runs. Nelson, for Oakland, fared worse, and was touched up freely In the second, fourth, fifth and sixth. Danzig and Bas sey scored In the second on Anderson's muff of Danilg's grounder, Bassey's elngle. Cooney's fly to the outfield and Madden's pretty liner to right. Groom followed with a single, which went for nothing, as Casey grounded out, retiring the side. Portland Takes Big Lead. Portland added another In the fourth, when Raftery walked. Bassey sacrificed and Lewis dropped Cooney's long fly. In the fifth, after Ryan had gotten life by forcing Casey, he stole second and third and scored on Danilg's grounder to Slat tery. on which the runner was safe by a close decision. This gave Portland four runs to the good, but they added another in the sixth, for safety, and as it turned out. this proved to be the winning run. Eagan and Lewis let Cooney's fly drop between them, on which the Portlander got two bases. Madden and Lewis fol lowed with singles, driving In one run. In the seventh' when Groom -seemed-to have the Commuters well In hand they started a batting rally and drove in four runs. Heltmuller opened the Inning by' flying out. Eagan set the Portland Infield on its bead trying to field his bunt, and was safe at first. Then Slattery- was given a pass and La Longe. Houston. Lewis and Nelson each singled, scoring three run's. Dan zig made a low throw to the plate on Cooke's bunt, and Lewis came In with the fourth run. There were still two men on bases and only one out, and it began to look as though the score would be tied, when Anderson forced Nelson at the plate and Heltmuller forced Anderson at second. This ended the scoring for both sides, although Oakland succeeded in getting a man on third In the eighth. Poor Batters Fatten Averages. A peculiarity of the game was that most of the hitting was done by the men down low in the batting list. Groom and Madden getting five of Portland's nine hits. OAKLAND. AB. R. H. PO. A. B.

RUX FOR $35,000 STAKE TODAY Greatest Two-Vear-Olds In America Entered for Futurity. NEW YORK, Aug. 28. Over the beautiful course of the Coney Island Jockey Club at Sheepshead Bay, nine high-bred 2-year-olds, the pick of the racing etables of the country, will struggle tomorrow for supremacy In the classic Futurity. For speed and stamina the field has proved its worth In previous days, and it is not impossi ble that the victor may turn out to be an animal equal in class to Domino, Colin or Artful, the winners of the stake in bygone years. Harry Payne Whitney lead! the nom inators with three entries, while James R. Keen and Mr. Madden have each two. II. B. Duryea and August Belmont will be the only other horsemen to send their animals to the barrier in quest of the rich purse and the honor of winning the classic event. Horsemen generally ehake their heads when they are asked to pick the winner, On past performances they choose either Keene or Madden to take the major portion of the stake, but as to which particular animal the honor will fall they are in doubt. Mr. Keene has sent out Helrfiet and Masket. and readily admits he has a great chance with this pair. Masket is a filly with a marvelous burst of speed and is cred ited with being game to the core. Mr. Madden's Sir Martin and Fayette have several times taken Into camp the best of the 2-year-olds in training. only, however, to be beaten decisively by Mr. Keene's Helmet at Saratoga. Mr. Madden says his colts both are In fine fettle and will give good account of themselves. Mr. Whitney will depend upon Per seus, a eon of the great English Derby winner.

FANS ALSO WANT CHANGE Business and Professional Men Join . In Request for Admission of . Seattle, Tacoma ' and ' Spokane ' Teams. That a Pacific Coast baseball league including four of the big cities of the North and four of the big cities of the South will be the result of the present Portland agitation is the prediction of Judge W. W. McCredie, vice-president of the Pacific Coast Baseball League, and president of the Portland club. Such a termination of the present agitation may be accomplished this year, though Judge - McCredie doubts that It will be effected before another year. He is thoroughly in favor of such a plan. "It would be the best solution I can think of," he said last night. "In that way the North would contend against the South, which would cause any amount of interest. It would at the same time bring out all the rivalry there is between the cities of the North. In addition to that it would keep the Pacific Coast League in class A ' Big Cities Are Xeeded. "With the population of the North ern States alone, I doubt if that class could be maintained, and with the pop ulation of the South alone I doubt if that class could be maintained. With the two sections combined in one league there would be a big population and It would give plenty of baseball in each section. ' "I heartily favor including the Wash ington cities in the Pacific Coast League. Spokane especially is a hust ling place and should be included. It is naturally tributary to Portland and it and other Washington cities would rather be Included in a league with Portland" than with Seattle. "If four of the best cities in the Northwest and four in the South were to comprise the Pacific Coast League it would be a great thing from a base ball standpoint."- Views of Portland Fans. Business and professional men who are Interested in baseball, as well as many other fans, have expressed themselves as favorable to a baseball league that will include cities of the Pacific Northwest, as well as California cities. ' . The recent decision to add two Cali fornia cities to the league, they contend, will only tend to create continuous base ball In the south and will fail to change conditions materially, so far as Portland Is concerned. A majority of those inter viewed on the subject expressed them selves as favoring the establishment of a Pacific Northwest League, which would Include the various cities of the Pacific Northwest, where natural rivalry exists. Opinion of Judge Williams. There are others who join with Judge McCredie In advocating a league in which both cities of the north and south shall strive for supremacy. There is no antag onism or opposition to the recent action of the managers of the Pacific Coast Base ball League In admitting two other cities. but there is a general Impression that the Interests of Portland and the Northwest are being overlooked In behalf of Cali fornia. Judge George H. Williams, an enthusiastic follower of the game, said: "In my opinion It would be better, In case of any addition or change in the league, to include our neighbors rather than others who are so distantly remote that little rivalry can ever be established between the- various teams. There is nat ural rivalry between the cities of the Northwest, not only In sports, but in a business and general way, and it might be better to have Portland in a league where the natural rivalry should tend to make better ball." A. H. Deverg, another devotee, ex pressed similar sentiments. Personally he would prefer to see Seattle and Portland as rivals in baseball, as well as in other lines. Wants to See Good Ball. 'I want to see just as good ball as we have been having, and even better. If possible," he said, "but I would also like to see the various cities of the Northwest compete with each other. Seattle, at least, should compete with Portland, and in case of the establishment of a North west League, Spokane, Tacoma and other cities should be included." Dr. Emmett Drake Is inclined to believe that the public Is losing interest in base ball simply because It has reached such a point of professionalism that there little local rivalry between the public Which sees the game and none between the players. However, he believes that a league including all the big cities on the Coast would answer the purpose. If the league Included all the big cities of Oregon. Washington and California, he said, "a great deal more of interest might be aroused, and then It could not be said that one state was getting the best of it to the detriment of another. 'However. If there are to be two leagues. I think better results could be ac complished if the cities of Oregon and Washington played against each other. while the cities of the south had a league of their own. If they took in Sacramento and another California town they should certainly nave (ajten in some cities up mis way." TIE FOR GOLF CHAMPIOXSHIP Smith and McLeod Play Off Dead Heat Today. HAMILTON.

After com ing through to the finals without missing a single set, and administering a most unexpected! defeat to the one-time cham pion, William J. Clothier, in the semi finals, Fred B. Alexander, of New York, today suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of an ex-champion, Beals C. Wright, of Boston, in the final match in the All-Comers National Tennis Tourna ment at the Casino. Only three sets were required to decide the match, and in each set Wright was the winner by the score of six games to three. Alexander showed a surprising reversal of form and his strokes, while brilliant at times, were very erratic. The ex champlon, who has appeared a trifle careless In some of his matches in this tournament, was at his best today, and his accurate shots and" clever passes were loudly applauded by the large gallery. Tomorrow Wright will meet Champion William A. Larned, of Annapolis, Jld., in the match for the title.
