An ace In the hole is worth nine goose eggs in a basket in any old market In balldom. Mr. Underhand Shooter Gough pitched the Colts to vic tory yesterday afternoon, slipping one over on Mr. Gut Thompson, Seattle's chief hurler. and mightily pleasing sev eral hundred feminine fans and a good ly sprinkling of males. Mr. Gough and his stable mates pitched off the victory by the tightest squeeze possible on the diamond, and while one run was the sum total of Casey's endeavor, the Turks failed to dust Portland's door step with a single man. The game was a remarkable one from the viewpoint, not only of the dopester. but also from any old angle It Is viewed from. Although Dugdale's people managed to ram out three neat binglets and accepted five passes, one with malice aforethought presented to Capron In the sixth, when th9 bases were populated with two Turks, none of the hits or passes out a figure In tho general result. Mr. Thompson was equs' ly generous with his hits as Gough, and the best Portland could do to his offering was three biffs and a well and perfectly executed squeeze play, pulled ff oy the .Demon of Bloody Run, Ken nedy. This Joyous and yelp-calling Inning was our time in the seventh. All of the flower and a greater part of the manhood present rose to their collective trilbies, turned around and sat down for the big thing to land on the Job. It did. Cooney beat out a bunt, but was forced at second on Bassey's at tempted sacrifice. Bassey was safe. Mr. Thompson balked and threw to first to catch the Count, but he was winging and Just did slide into second before Magee could relay the ball on its death message- Casey's poke was foozled by Kaymond, and the fumble planted Bassey on' third. Then Kennedy squeezed the one run necessary home, and was only caught at first by a gnat's whisker. Seaton was called upon to run for Casoy and, although his at tempted larceny of third caused Mr. Thompson to commit a very palpable balk, the ump did not allow It. and the Jig was up. In the eighth Mr. Gough yanked him eelf out of an ambush of his and the ump's making. Seaton, who had taken Manager Lynch's place because the ump had ordered him out of the fray, walked, and so did Frisk. Capron, whom Casey has walked three times In the last two games, loomed up mighty dangerous, but his pelt landed in Mr. Cough's waiting digits, and Seaton died t third. Allen lofted to Adams, and Jimmy, hearing Cooney's call for a double, whipped the ball to Kennedy In time to nail Capron before he could get back to cover. The sixth was. another Inring In which the Turks were trouble some, but Cooney's brilliant stop of Allen's wallop and a bit of weird base running by the Turks helped a lot. Anyway it mi a great game. Just as good as any of your Class AA birds can furnish, even if the label carries the Class B brand. So here's the score: SEATTLE. A.B. R. H. P.O. A. E. Mace, lb 4 0 0 11 0 0 Raymond.

The Beavers might have done a fine piece of business by. turning Heav er Willetts over on his side and out of the tea-m. but from the noise he made yesterday In flinging against his old club, McCredie could have done worse than let him slide, for with the exception of two rounds he made Mc Credie's men look like the colored giants playing Chicago. In those two rounds, however, the other fellows grabbed all the runs they needed. For seven Innings but one of them reached second base, and two minutes after he landed there he was doubled out on a fly to center field. This Is heaving some, but it was all a Joke compared to what happened in the third and fourth Innings, and had not Willetts been against the best heaver McCredie has. the chances are there would have been a dozen differ ent things to talk about after the game. Graney was there all the time, and the fellows behind him gave the best they had in the way of support and were always ready to grab every thing. The flinging was so good that the Beavers had no chance to do any fancy stunts, for their work was all very easy. On the other side, they kept the "Perhaps-fielders" on the run, 'Martinke alone having no less than seven outs in left field, and two of these were long running grabs that brought howls of delight from the fans.

A forfeit of $5000 was posted tonight by the Mis sion Athletic Club, of this city, with a local paper for a 20-round fight in San Francisco between Stanley Ketchel and Sam Langford. The fight is to take place in August. Ketchel Is to receive J10.000. win, lose or draw, while Lang ford is to receive a percentage of the gate receipts. The offer will be submitted to Ketchel either tonight or tomorrow. It developed today that no forfeit had as yet been posted by the promoters of the Ketchel-Langford match at Ely. Nev., articles of which were signed last night, and a fight at that place Is by no means regarded certain. FAND0M AT RANDOM TOMMY MURRAY'S finger tip Is once more in place. Drs. Rockey and Sabin have succeeded in reducing the swelling and yesterday set the Joint. It is expected that Murray will be seen In TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, JULY 10, a-ction during the Tacoma series next week. Outfielder Crocker, whom Dugdale has been carrying on hie payroll since the fieason opened, will Join Casey's squad either today or tomorrow. Crocker is a righthander and is a smashing good player. He must have the goods or Dug dale would not have held to him so long. Cooney's two stops electrified the crowd yesterday afternoon. He speared one with his meat hand Just as it was making a get away over second and he put enough on the ball to get it to Kennedy at first in time to nip Raymond. His other stop came in the seventh. In retrieving Allen's poke, he slipped. He sat on his hinge and threw Allen out at first. Gus Thrompson was sure facing the batter and in motion to deliver the ball when Seaton. running for Casey, started to steal third. The umpire refused to listen to the call of a balk. Did D. E. Dugdale offer to bet a suit of clothes tha.t his Turks would take the series from the Colts, or were those seated nearby just dreaming they heard the remark? We've got to beat some one. Dug, and it gives us downright pleasure to beat you. It also adds Joy to the fans of other Northwestern League cities. JOHN BERG BEATS TURK DECISIVE WINNER IN SQUARE WRESTLING MATCH. Gets First and Third Falls in a Ferocious Contest--Police In terfere Twice. BT WTLL G. MAC RAE. John Berg. In one of the most vicious grappling matches ever seen in Portland, and one that from every angle was on the level, last night defeated big Yousiff, winning the first fall after 1 hour 10 min utes and 3 seconds, and the third fall in 2 minutes and 27 seconds. The second fall, a whirlwind affair, was won by the Turk after 1 minute and 39V4 seconds of ferocious wrestling. Owing to the many screwy wrestling matches that had been doled out to the public during last Winter, lovers of the wrestling game did not turn out, but had they known that one of the best bouts ever held in Portland was on the card, they would have paid In and for once gone home saying, as those who saw Berg beat the Turk did. that at last they got their money's worth. Truly the management deserved a capacity house when it carded the Turk and Berg, and if last night's entertainment is a sample of what it is to offer in the future, the show deserves to be well patronized. The moment Berg and the Turk grap pled signs of a great battle were evi dent. Just how and why the pair of grapplers managed to work up so much hostility is not known, but before they had been hooked up more than a few seconds, even the most skeptical were satisfied both men were out to win. Both wrestlers gave an exhibition of roughing It that put the crowd on Its mettle, and not only did they see some high-class wrestling, but also they saw the police take possession of the ring several times, and they witnessed an exchange of wal lops that warmed the cockles of the hearts of the fight fans present. Berg Gets Best of Rough House. When It came to roughing it, the Turk was the leader, but each time he started a rough house Berg came out on top. The Turk failed to realize, or wasn't there to care, that when he had forced Berg off the mat he was to stop. Once in the first bout he got Berg off the canvas and began slugging. He punched Berg sev eral times and half a dozen police had to pry them apart. A second slugging match was a pretty half round. Yousiff led off with a right for the Jaw and missed, the wallop land ing on Berg's chest right under the Jaw. It was no slap on the wrist, and it sounded as if the Turk had hit the head of a drum. Quick as a flash Berg's left shot out. His aim was good and the kick hit the Turk flush on the ear and Jaw, and he fell as if he had been hit on the head with an ax. When the 185 pounds of muscle and bone hit the can vas it Jarred the whole building. What might have happened to the Turk hadn't the police again Invaded the ring, would have been nice telling. In addition to the slugging. Berg gave a demonstration of Turk nose-smashing and smearing that messed up Yousift's features a lot, and once Berg snapped his head back and caught the Turk flush on the beak. This hurt a lot also. Cradle Hold Gets First. Berg gained his first fall with the cradle hold, or as it is sometimes known, the Jackknife hold. During the long bout, both grapplers supped out of many pun ishing holds. Berg at all times was the aggressor, and while he was on top most of the time, the Turk also did plenty of work from the top. Many times during the long hour. Berg got Yousiff in chan cery and he punished the Turk severely with numerous toe holds. Once Berg had the Turk's shoulders within a couple of Inches of the canvas. He put on a toe hold that made the bull-like Turk writhe in agony. His face was hideous and distorted, and his body, that portion of It that was trying to keep off the canvas, twisted and lashed about like the tall of a lion at bay. The referee, Joe Acton, fearing that Berg might cripple the Turk, asked him if he wanted to yield the fall, but the Turk barked his refusal, and then, like a mighty giant, his flanks col lapsing like a bellows, slowly ground himself out of punishment. The fall came quickly after Berg secured his hold. He trussed the Turk up in something that resembled a bow-knot and then slammed his shoulders to the mat. Second Fall Fast One. The second fall came so soon it almost took the breath of the spectators. Yousiff charged Berg like a bull elephant on the rampage. In his maniac rush he literally carried Berg oft his feet as if he had been hit by a cyclone. At that, the fall was a lucky one. Yousiff threw Berg with violence, and as he fell on top. ho planted his knee on Berg's injured ankle. Like a flash, the hunking Turk slipped a hip lock on Berg and pinned his shoulders to the mat. Berg's leg was so badly hurt he did not get up for several seconds. He was still limping when he entered the ring after a 10-minute rest. This fall came much after the manner of the second. The pair were up and down sev eral times during the two minutes of wrestling, with Berg again the aggressor. Berg finally managed to get the Turk's legs in both arms during an exchange of holds, and quickly slipping his arms to the body, held the Turk's shoulders squarely to the mat, not only once, but three times before Referee Acton could get up to -lap him on the back. Tho preliminary bout was won by Chick Merrill. He defeated Arndt in two straight falls. Arndt was sick and did not make much of a showing. Before and during the bouts challenges flew thick and fast and Strangler Smith and Mer rick said something about wrestling for a side bet. Ed Kennedy, Casey's first baseman, was Berg's second. The announcer gave the weights. Berg 176 pounds and the Turk 185 pounds Yousiff entered the ring without shoes, but Berg calmly announced he would re fuse to wrestle the Turk unless he wore shoes. Yousiff protested, but anyway he had to wear shoes. 1909. ARTHUR ALLEN IS FIRST II SINGLES Portland, Vancouver and Vic toria Divide Honors in Rowing Regatta. LOCALS THIRD IN DOUBLES Oregonians Second in Four-Oar Event Senior Eventa Will Be Rowed Today Special Races With San Diego Team. SEATTLE. Wash., Juty 9 (Special.) Arthur Allen, of Portland, the boy who finished in third place last year in the Junior singles, gained the right to bo called a senior oarsman by defeating Fred Godfrey, of Vancouver, and W. W. Kennedy, of the James Bay Athletic Association, in the singles in the first day's rowing of the regatta on Lake Washington, held under the auspices of the North Pacific Association of Ama teur Oarsmen. Allen won from God frey by three lengths, while the James Bay representative veered from the course and could not finish between the two stake buoys. Allen Rows-35 to Minute. Allen caught the water first, gaining a length on his rivals. The Rose City oarsman sent his oars through the water at the rate of 35 to the minute, and was leading at the end of the first half mile. Godfrey, bringing up the rear, gained on the lad representing Victoria. Kennedy was too gritty an athlete to let the Vancouver man take second place away from him so easily, however, and caught Godfrey after rowing half the course. The single sculler, wearing the white and red, was rowing but 26 to the min ute. Allen won in 11 minutes 45 sec onds. Kennedy lost the couVse entirely. The James Bay man would probably not have passed Allen, however, as he be came tired before the finish and stopped rowing entirely when a quarter of a mile from the buoys, losing several sec onds before he caught the water again. G. N. Gaffey and G. J. Simpson cap tured first place, gold medal, in the last race of the day, the doubles. The favorites in this event, Moore and Allen, of Portland, were beaten out for third place by George Gore and R. Ball, of Nelson, for second place. The James Bay duo were outclassed. Moore and Allen had trouble keeping in the course, and Vancouver rowing on the outside earned a well-deserved victory, winning by three lengths in 8:57 2-6. Six Shells Make Start. Six shells.
