(Spe cial.) George Huff, scout for the Chi cago Nationals, and Jim McGulre, scout for the Cleveland Americans, were at the Seattle-Portland game looking over the teams today, and if they will only get out of town right away, the two teams are in no danger of losing any of their players. Pearl Casey sat in the grandstand and watched Freddie Miller mow down 13 of his Colts. By skillful working of the corners. Miller. Seattle's southpaw, was there with the control today, and In the early part of the game he had them eating from the hand, whiffing six of them straight in a row. Gough, for Portland, got oft badly, and when he was led out In the middle of the third the score was 7 to 1 for Seattle. Then Seaton took up the burden, and the honors were easy from then on. Final score Seattle 11, Portland 5. A base on halls, a hit and a fielder's choice gave Portland one in the first. From then on till the seventh Miller hiid them on his staff. In the meantime Seattle had piled up nine runs. The first came in the opening Inning, when, after Akin had singled, Adams, Casey's understudy, threw the ball into the bleachers. Four more were added in the second, when Gough lost control, anil two hits, two bases on balls, an error and a 1908 sacrifice followed. In the third he hit Lynch and walked Frisk, then went to the bench. Seaton walked the next man. Shea squeezed Lynch in and Miller's single scored Frisk. One more was added in the fifth on a walk, a wild pitch, a sacri tlce and a fielder's choice. A double, a single, a base on balls and a fielder's choice added two more in the eighth. For Portland, Bassey got a homer with two on in the seventh and Garry put one over the fence in the eighth. Score: SEATTLE. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

The guardians of the peace and dignity of Portland had the game won by the score of 3 to 0 when Troutdale went to bat in the ninth and rapped out three runs, because Howard weakened temporarily.

CROWN POINT, Ind., June 14 After official trials over the Crown Point Lowell course today it is predicted by veteran drivers that no more records will be established by the "Eastern Vanderbilt" June 18 and 19.

Cleve land telegraphed McCredie ask ing the Portland manager if he wanted Raftery, but Mac sent back word that Portland was well supplied with outfielders, and It is quite likely that Raftery will land with the Oak land bunch. Tom Raftery was drafted, together with Ote John son, from the Charleston, S.

Fielder Jones, the peerless leader of the Chicago American League baseball team for several years, and who Is now retired and a resident of Portland, has consented to play with the Lawyers' and Doctors' team against the Bankers in the big charity baseball game to be played on Multnomah field next Saturday after noon. Having remained idle, as far as athletic stunts are concerned, all Winter. Jones has taken to working out in the mornings with Walter MoCredie's Portland team, and the few practices he has had have agreed with him Immensely. Watching Jones at the Vaughn-street lot makes one realize why he is so badly wanted by Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the Chicago American League team The ex-White Sox leader hits the ball just as neatly as he ever did, and in addition he gives the Portland outfield ers something to think about by his man ner of retrieving fly balls as well as grounders. Jones will play center field in the charity game and B. Plowden Stott, man ager of the professional men's club, is so delighted with having secured Jones that he is already predicting the downfall of the money handlers. The teams will line-up Saturday as follows: Bankers Position. Drs. and Lawfs Ed-ar A. Shearer. ..C Plowden Stott Edward R. Morris. .P Fred De Nefte Carl Qanong IB. .William B.

LIPTON WILL NOT CHALLENGE Declares Present Rules of Cup Race Are Unfair and Out of Date. BELFAST, June 14. In view of the re newal of the rumors that he was prepar ing again to challenge for the America's cup. Sir Thomas Upton In an interview today made it quite clear that he had no intention of competing under the pres ent conditions. "No man will build a boat to sail under conditions) such as have prevailed in the past," Sir Thomas said. "I am always willing to give the Americans the advan tage of their own universal rule, under which they have had experience in build ing and sailing, and I am ready to chal lenge thereunder, but I will not try again under the rule of fifty or sixty years ago. If I challenged under the international rules governing Europe, they would say I had a 'pull.' " American Association. At Columbus Kansas City 7, Colum bus 6. At Indianapolis Indianapolis 8.

J. PETRAIN. - This afternoon the Vaughn-street lot will be given the crucial series of the early portion of the Pacific Coast League season, for this week the San Francisco league leaders meet Walter McCredie's fast-going Portland bunch in a series of six games. Last week Portland performed most successfully against the Sacramento team. The Seals, who open today, con stitute the only visiting club which has taken a series from Portland on the Portland lot, and McCredie's braves are determined to get even. The San Francisco Club is in the lead by a comfortable margin of games, and even though Portland should win every game the McCredleltes would not be able to displace the Seals. In such a glorious contingency, and if Los Angeles should do similarly with the "Joke" Oak land club, Los Angeles would usurp the premiership by a bare margin. However, the Seals are not likely to lose six straight games, and If Portland takes four out of the six McCredie will be highly elated. If the team breaks even with the more or less favored Mohlerites it will even be satisfactory at this stage of the pennant race. The San Francisco Club does not possess any bet ter ball-players than does Portland, Los Angeles or Sacramento, but It has been favored by the schedule in profiting by the crippled condition of Portland as well as meeting the "joke" clubs on several occasions. Mohler's men deserve some credit for the good ball they have played, despite the conditions which haye favored them, for they not only have walloped "Vernon and Oakland handily, but they have also trimmed Los Angeles and Portland. In the case of Los Angeles there are no ex cuses to offer, for the Angels had' their full strength, but when Portland lost that nine-game series the team was suf fering by the Incapacity of several players. This week's series will show a different result, for Portland Is now In good shape to meet the league leaders. One or two of the regulars are handicapped by stone bruises, but the team Is going well, and if the opening game comes this way San Francisco will have to hustle to keep in the going all week. "Speck" Harkness will pitch ' first against the leaders, and "Speck" says he will beat that club If hard work can accomplish It. He has had fair success against San Francisco, but has lost sev eral times simply because of ill-luck. This afternoon's game wilL commence at the usual hour and increased attend ances can be expected throughout the series, for the San Francisco club, de spite the fact that it is owned and con trolled by the president and secretary of the league, is a popular team. Elks See Angels Win. LOS ANGELES, June 15. Today was designated as Elks' day, at Chutes Park ball grounds, and many members of the order saw Los Angeles defeat Vernon. The total receipts were donated to the local Elks Lodge. Hltt was not effec tive against the Los Angeles batters, allowing them eight hits. Fine work on the part - of- the Los Angeles players proved too much for Vernon. The score: R. H. B. Los Angeles 11000100 03 8 1 Vernon 0 1000000 01 8 2 Batteries Tozer and Orendorft; Hitt and Hogan. PROTEST OF RACE IS DROPPED Victory of Chalmers-Detroit in Big Race to Stand. Murray Page, the driver of the Loco mobile and Sam Christopherson, who pi loted the Stoddard-Dayton car in the Wemme cup race Saturday, have recon sidered their protest" of the victory of the Chalmers-Detroit 30 in Saturday's big automobile race, and the Keats Auto Company, which entered the winning car, will have undisputed possession of the trophy. The drivers of the cans which pro tested the race, declare they were ex cited after the race and on that account acted hastily in putting in their charges of fouls, and after reconsideration they decided to let the matter drop.

TIGERS GIVEN SHAKEUP WEEDING BEGINS IN TACOMA BASEBALL TEAM. Russ Hall Is Not Success as Manager and Is Given Back Seat Hurley Now Has Say. TACOMA, Wash.. June 14. (Special.) Continual defeat has at last created an Impression upon the management of the Tacoma Tigers that in order to secure a winning and harmonious team there will be a general and continual shake up until this is accomplished. With the changes already made improvement is noticeable. Russ Hall, who is credited with being part owner in the franchise, has not been a success as manager. His career as the successor of Mike Lynch has been marked by dissension among the players and poor team work. Now, however. Hall has taken a back seat and "Bill" Hurley, who was captain early in the season, but later displaced. Is in sole charge on the field. He has been given carte blanche and Hall has nothing to say during the pro gress of the game. McCamment, who after a long illness, pitched his Initial game a few days ago, has been . released along with Pitcher Samuels. Swain, the big center fielder, has been sold to Vancouver. . v, Breslno, the midget shortstop, has been transfererd to Aberdeen in exchange for Carr, a Three I Leaguer. Otto Newlin, a pitcher from Indianapolis, was tried out today and made good. Not only is Tacoma making changes, but Aberdeen and Spokane are following suit, but as yet there have been no re sults. Manager Brown, of Spokane, wants Sterib, of Aberdeen, badly, and last week offered Rowland Buck Con nors, the heavy-hitting flrst-sacker. Row land turned down the offer. Then Row land In turn offered, to give Brown Sterib, Pitcher Pernoll and another player for Connors, Bobby James and Weed and another man. Brown refused and came back with a counter proposi tion, but the two managers could not agree. It Is likely there will be several changes soon. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Won. Lost. Pot.

NEGROES BARRED AT RING White Fight Fans Draw Color Line, and Management of Exhibition in Fear "Rough House" May Result. PITTSBURG. Pa., June 14. (Special.) Jack Johnson will not be welcomed at the six-round boxing show in which James J. Jeffries is to be the star here tomorrow. The management of the club has wired the colored scrapper, asking him to remain away. Johnson, it was reported here, plans coming to ask Jeff a number of questions regard ing the battle. It is evident if Johnson comes that there will be a rush of negroes to the Jeffries fight, no matter what the cost, and ,rich clubmen of Pittsburg, who have just begun to patronize fighting here and make the game profitable, have served notice that they will not be in the Duquesne Garden Tuesday night if it is "overrun with negroes." Already the colored people are trying to buy up all the seats for tomorrow night. KETCHEL IS STJRE OF JOHNSON Fighter Is to Go Into Training for Papke Match. NEW YORK, June 14. (Special.) Stanley Ketchel left New York today for California, where he will begin training for his 20 round battle with Billy Papke. which takes place at Col ma Arena on the afternoon of July 5. He will be accompanied by his manager, Willis Brltt, who will superintend his training and arrange all details for the contest. Manager Britt said that immediately after the fight they would return to New York, as the Fairmout Athletic Club wants Ketchel to take on Willie Lewis. Britt' said he had heard noth ing new about Ketchel's match with Jack Johnson, but he was certain the colored champion would go through with it . Strangler Smith After O'Connell. "Strangler" Smith, the Portland wrestler who has been camping on the trail of Eddie O'Connell for a return match for several months, returned yesterday from a successful tour of the Northwest and British Columbia. Smith came down to fix up his private affairs and to issue another challenge to O'Connell, after which he intends to move to Anacortes, Wash., where he has secured a lucrative position as wrestling instructor of an athletic club. Before leaving Portland for good he says he would like tT have another fling at O'Connell and says that he is willing to mont ia AX. .It... v. Club's instructor at any terms the latter may suggest. Smith says he Is prepared to back himself for a limited amount and wishes to hear from O'Connell as soon as possible. FAND0M AT RANDOM CASEY'S bunch made 11 hits and five runs, Seattle 11 runs and eight hits. How about the horseshoes, "Shorty?" Casey's bunch out-hit ' Seattle at all stages, but Seattle had all the luck and won easily. Bassey and Garry found tlaat short fence to their liking yesterday, but If they had been Seattle players there would have been a couple of men on the sacks each time. With both Portland teams playing the leading teams of the respective leagues this week, the fans here will have plenty to talk about. "Speck" Harkness has developed a boil on his jaw, and this may cause McCredie to use Carson against San Francisco this afternoon. Either pitcher works well against the Seals. Seattle scored eight Tumi ofT three hits in three innings yesterday. The errors registered by Portland must have been timely for Seattle. Tacoma had little difficulty in ham mering the Aberdeen Black Cats to a finish yesterday, which goes to show that Rowland's men are good borne players but poor roadsters. Newlin, the youngester who was with "Vernon and Los Angeles for awhile, oc cupied the slab for the Tigers and pitched a fine game. Funny how these ex-Coasters do so well In the North western. Fielder Jones will work out with the Portland team again this morning. Fielder is slated to play center field for the Doctors and Lawyers against the Bankers In next Saturday's charity game.. While chasing fly balls and indulging In batting practice the ex-leader of the Chi cago White Sox gives some of the Port land players a little fatherly advice when he notices any mistakes made by them, and Jones is lstened to eagerly at that.
