FETRAIN. Bill Reidy, the loquacious and versatile manager of the Oakland bunch, again shoved Jimmy Wiggs Into the breach in the pick of time, thereby saving yester day's game after Portland's errors bad allowed the visitors to score four runs, while the best the McCredle squad could do was to tallv twice. The game makes an even break In the series. When W'lggs was pulled from behind the clubhouse to go to the . rescue of "Lefty" Tonneson. who was getting bumped in lively fashion in the ninth, Portland had runners on second and third by virtue of Breen's single and a two-ply smash by Gus Fisher. Poor coaching and poor base running lost us one run in this Inning, for Breen should have scored on either of two occasions. On Fisher'a hit he could easily have gone the route, but slackened up at third, and again, when McCredle. batting for Car son, hit to McKune, Breen ran half way and then stopped. When he finally dashed home the throw was sure and the play ' close, but he was out. This sample of base running, however, may not have cost the game at that, though it surely would have helped some. The home team also played a fiercely rawed game in the field. So much so that the big crowd forgot all about the two fast double plays, for the errors were so frequent and so palpable that the earlier good work wa marred. Carson pitched a fairly steady game, though he was hit hard In the eighth when Oakland scored three runs. Still, even the hits would not have counted for much, had not Graney. Ryan. Speas and Breen contributed bad plays, while Fisher migiit have used his thinking apparatus a little quicker and allowed Duffy Lewis' bunt to roll foul as it surely would have had he not fielded It. It was this bunt which started Carson's finish for Happy Bill Hogan hit to right and Graney fumbled the ball long enough to allow Lewis to take third. Cameron "Texaned" over second, and Lewis scored. Breen erred on McKune's chance and Speas dropped Quigley's fly. which al lowed two more runs to score, giving Oakland a total of four to the brace se cured by Portland in the fifth. Havlng played about as badly as they rossibly could yesterday, it is to be hoped that the Portland team has gotten all its erratic w,ork out of Its system In order that It may play San Francisco In much better fashion. Seven errors of commis sion and a large bunch of omission were noticeable in the home clubs behavior yesterday. And one of the finest crowds of the season saw the contest. On that account the Seals will reign favorite until Portland shows more class. Umpire McCarthy left last night for San Francisco, and Jimmy Toman is coming north with Danny Long, his boss, and the Sea Is. Toman is to work with Van Haltren. who remains over for the next two weeks. , Jack Gleason, fat and cheerful as evor. who Is one of the San Francisco base ball moguls, occupied a high seat in the stand yesterday. Jack expressed regret that he was unable to remain over for the coming series. The official score of yesterday'a game is as follows: OAKULND. AB ... 6 ... 4 ... 4 ... 4 ... 4 ... 4 ...

SEALS EAGER FOR FRAY COME IN GOOD SHAPE FOB BAT TLE WITH BEAVERS. Star Pitchers All Fresh Because Rest President Ish Comes on Later Train. of SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 1. (Special.) In the crippled condition that has caused a patched-up team, all the week, and yet with six of the seven games won from Sacramento, the Seals left San Francisco tonight for Portland to take part In what is oonsidetwd one of the moat important series of the season, so far as the pennant race is concerned. In order to have bis star pitchers fresb for the Beavers, Danny Long took some chances on Sunday by pitching Melkle in the forenoon and working Ed Griffin for the third time In a week in the after noon. The men got away with their games, and that leaves a good staff to go against the Northerners. iither Browning or Henley will be sent i for the opening game against McCre dle. Eastiey and Griffin are also counted on to win their games. Ralph Willis is at Harbin Springs, baking out a severe attack of rheumatism. Tom Tennant and Jimmy Lewis will also remain here on account of Injuries, as win Melkle, the busher. Mohler takes the trip with the team, although it is a question whether he will be able to rjsrticlpate in any of the games. Frank M. Ish, president of the local club, unable to secure reservations on the same train with the Seals, left later this evening, but will be on time to see the opening In the north. Umpire Jimmy Toman left for Portland. and will replace McGreevy, who will work in San Francisco. Van Haltren has been ordered to remain in Portland to work with Toman. Ten Innings at .Woodbnrn.

(Cpecial.) Big Chinault was In magnificent form to day and pitched an absolutely perfeot no hit, no-run game against the Vancouver Champions, Incidentally striking out ten men, four in a row, and receiving eplen did support. Portland's four runs came in one inning after two men were out. Erickson lost oontrol, hit one man and passed-three all in a row, forcing two over. Hickey then came in and slammed the ban against two consecutive batters forcing in two more. Four runs forced over in consecutive order come close to a record. Outside of the few moments that the Vancouver pitchers were all to the bad, they pitched great ball and were given perfect support. In the first six Innings neither side could break through, and it looked like a repetition of the 21 Innings in Vancouver Saturday when neither side reached the home plate. Portland has now gone 31 Innings without allowing their opponents a run. An odd feature of today's game was that although Chinault had Vancouver completely at his mercy, h.5 walked Davis four consecutive times. Davis was the only man to reach second In the game. In the fourth, Cartwright tried to sacri fice. His pop fly was caught by Chinault. Davis made a hot-foot back to first and Chinault threw to Adams who covered. The ball went through Adams and Davis trotted down to second. The score: VANCOUVER. AB R H PO A Davis.

Aberdeen's chances for second position received a hard Jolt today when Spokane took both games of a double-header in two hard hitting battles, 7 to i and 8 to 2. The biggest crowd that ever witnessed professional game of baseball In Spo kane completely surrounded the field. making ground rules necessary. Aber deen was helpless against Claflln, pitch ing his first game for Spokane, after the second inning, when they got to him for four hits, two of which were lucky pop files.

The boxing game, while flourishing to a certain extent," commented Roche, "is iiui wnai it was a decade ago. There are several reasons for its decline, if such It can be styled, for outside of raiifnni. there are few places where bouts of any length the kind that draw are rr- mitted.

When not talking fight pictures and dis cussing the possibilities of Jeffries and Johnson meeting, which event he predicts ill take place In San Francisco. Roche boosts Lew Powell, a young San Fran cisco scrapper, as the coming champion of the world at his weight. He says Pow. ell is in line to meet the winner of the Abe Attell-Ad Wolgast bout which Is scheduled for Labor Day at the Bay City.

GETS Max Meyer's Sparrow Wins Pretty Handicap Lack of Breeze . ' Delays Race. Races were held yesterday by the Ore gon Tacht Club, although the contests were postponed until after 5 o'clock In the afternoon, as the expected breeze did not spring up until then. In the class A event, for which there were three entries, Gertrude, owned by Jim Hazlett, won by a large margin. The winner was given possession of the class A cup. Other entries in this event were the Jewell, owned by R. Snyder, and the Mischief, owned by R. W. Foster. The real sport of the day came In the handicap race, in which there were six entries. After considerable Jockeying be hind the line the yachts got off in a bunch at the starting gun, H. F. Todd's Fore'N'Aft and Max Meyer's Sparrow crossing close together near the Judge's float, and at once entering into as pretty a battle as has been seen on the river for some time. (Both skippers knew the tricks of their trade, and the Sparrow made every ef fort to cut off the wind from the Fore'N'Aft on the first port tack, but without success. This tack carried the boats well over towards tlr island, and sharp work was done at the turn to the opposite tack to keep off the shoal water. On this second tack the bparrow naa a little the better of things, but did not keep her advantage, the boats being nip and tuck on tack after tack until after they passed out of sight from the yacht club. As soon as the buoy at Madison-street bridge was rounded by the Sparrow she broke out her spinnaker, and the Fore'N'Aft followed the maneuver a mo ment later. Then both boats forged ahead for the finish line, their great canvas wings spread on eitner siae. making a superb and Inspiring sight as they tore through the water before a fresh, though puffy breese. The Sparrow won the race in which she was never headed on the homeward leg, though' pressed close by the Fore'N'Aft the en tire distance. The yachts entered in tne nanaicap race were: The comet, owned Dy Lee Wells; the Fore'N'Aft, owned by H. F. Todd; the Dancin' Sal, owned by Francis DArcy; the Fly Bi Nlte, owned by Art 1 Sholan; the Sparrow, owned by Max Meyer; the. Zephyr, owned by George iBannon. Team Carries Guns to Catch Fish. BOUT 7 o'clock last night the vicinity of Sixth and Washington streets was the scene of considerable excitement Some said it was a portion of Colonel Roose velt's African expedition, which had strayed from camp and lost its way, but it turned out to be a bunch of Portland ball players bound on a fishing trip to forget the mlsplays of yesterday. The party was .composed of Charles Arm bruste'r, Buddy Ryan, John Gladstone Graney, Ivor Olson, Jesse Garrett, Ote Johnson, Howard Guyn, George Ort and Eddie Davey, the last being the guide and chief scout of the party, which left last night for Oregon City or some other 'Jungle" town In the immediate vicinity of Portland. Charley Armbruster carried a Winches ter rifle especially constructed for the occasion by Captain A. F. Laudensack, expert armorer for the Hooseveltian ex pedition. He was also supplied with lim burger cheese, of which J. Gladstone Graney Is fond. Graney was also pro vided with a shotgun, though for what purpose Is not known, for be Is said to lack control in handling a gun as he is at times with the baseball. Ivor Olson wore a khaki suit and looked every inch a soldi er. Buddy Ryan had so many different styles of rods, reels and lines that he is said to have bad considerable difficulty disentangling him self at the clubhouse after trying for two hours to "load" the rods properly. Jesse Garrett carried a couple of wicked looking cannon. Ote Johnson was equipped with 100 yards of fine glllnet, a present from a Swede fisherman, who is great admirer of the slugger's hitting propensities. George Ort carried his "Krag," the gun which made nun famous in the Cuban campaign.' Howard Guyn took his Tennessee accent with him, and Buddy Ryan says that should be enough to en tice all the fish needed. Ed Davey car ried a map of Oregon City.
