Portland 1. Seattle 0.
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:

In his 1907 form, and the only times when
Tacoma was dangerous he was backed up
by magnificent fielding. The work of
Drinker. Burnett and James was sensa

as third base, Coleman in the first inning.
Deller also starred at bat. driving in two
runs. He has been with! the Spokane

LOS ANGELES. Cal.. July 9. (Spe
cial.) 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.

Cooney's two stops electrified the crowd
yesterday afternoon. He speared one with

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

Dug, and it gives us downright pleasure

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.

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

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

The James Bay man would probably not
have passed Allen, however, as he be
