Injrerona. an added starter, was a fairly good fourth, but the other nln contestants were beaten off and well strung out over a furlong. The time forj the six furlongs was 1:114-. Sweep's share of the purse of $31,000 was t?7,nm. Sweep Is Hot Favorite. Of the horses announced as starters, three. Big Stick. Dull Care and Glenne D-an. w'-re scratched, but two other eligible. Anrerona and Sanrlrtan, were sarldUd In th hope that they might land a portion of tiie rich prize. The Keene entry was installed a hot fa vorite in the betting and the opening o1ds. 7 to B. found the multitude swoop ing down on the money brokers with such bundles of money that the layers wre forced to cut the price until at post tlm 9 to 10 was the best price in eight. Candieberry was well played at S to 1. but his prt e had risen to 4 at the close, with S to 5 that he would not run sec ond. The IrssciMe temper of Sweep resulted again In his being led to the post while the other candidates paraded past the stand and received the plaudits of the sp'tator. Sweep, by his unruliness, delayed the start ten minutes. Then the horses were away to a fine start. Sweep Soon Goes to Front. Sweep was ff on his tiptoes, closely followed by Barley Thorpe. Orassmere, Malatlne and The General Armstrong. There was a good deal of crowding, how ever, and Sweep fell back behind Grass mere and Barley Thorpe into third posi tion. Candieberry got away badly, but was making his way through the Jumble and striking out for the leaders. In the quarter. Grassmere still was leading, and Barley Thorpe was at his withers and coming faat. Butwell on Sweep then straightened out his mount and for a few seconds gave him his head. Sweep answered with gameness and at the five-furlong pole led by a length and a half with Candieberry sec ond. At this point the race ended so far as first place was concerned, for But well put his charge under wraps and simply galloped home. Starters and Jockeys. nera and Philadelphia 3; St. Louis 2.

Ratification of the action taken by Sam Berger in signing the articles with Jack Johnson in Chicago several weeks ago is the sub stance of a cablegram received today by Berger from Jim Jeffries, who la at pres ent In Germany. After the signing of the Chicago arti cles, in which numerous points in the contract between Jeffries and the colored champion were agreed upon. Jeffries In an interview In England virtually repu diated Berger's action. Berger contended that Jeffries misunderstood what he had done, and today showed the following cablegram as proof that his action In Chi cago waa not unauthorized: 'Carlsbad, Aug. 30. Berger, San Ftan clsco. Agreement satisfactory. Inform newspapers your action authorized by me. Jeffries." Berger declared that the receipt of the cablegram made it certain that the big fight would take place. He said that after the Plymouth Interview with Jeffries, he wrote the ex-champlon a long explanatory letter, to which to day's cablegram waa the reply. Berger said: "The big fellow will return within six weeks, and I hope by that time to have arranged with some club to han dle the fight. Now that I have Jeffries' assurances I can go ahead and consider offers from promoters. "Johnson prdbably knows what he is doing when he arranges fights, but. In case he is defeated, I would cancel any match with Jeffries. That excuse will have to go In tha articles." Berger said that he expected to leave for New York in about two weeks, but first wanted to find what Jim Coff roth, of this city, and Tom McCarey, of Los Angeles, were willing to offer to get the big fight. BT W. J. PETRAIN. Boh Brown's ambitious Spokane In dians, full of confidence in their ability to overtake Seattle and win the cham pionship, ambled on the Vaughn-street lot yesterday and took . Pearl Casey's crew into camp for the opening game by the score of 4 to 2. To assure nimsert oi victory Brownie trotted out Jack Killilay, who has not been defeated by tne t-ort- Iand team this season. Jack got away with the game, though horseshoe luck favored him more than anything else. However, this same horseshoe luck was coupled In big bunches with the erratic work of the Portland team, in me nrsi place. Charley Armbruster heaved twice to second base, but tne neiuer wan dreaming of home and mother and the ball settled in the tall grass in center field, allowing a Spokane run to cross the register each time. On another occasion -Lee Samuels too nap. While dreaming of better days, if such a dream Is possible witli mm ne likewise tossed the ball to center field with two men out and a runner on sec ond. Just why Lee wished to bring bad luck to the unfortunate on second at thai stage of the game cannot be explained. Anyhow, it resulted In another score. The best Tortland could do with Killilay was to put two runs over, which would have been enough to win had the Colts be haved properly. Ostdiek's triple, Killllny's single and Armbruster's toes gave Spokane two in the third. A pass to Ostdlck and Staton's error in falling to cover second gave Spokane the third. The fourth run was due to Samuels' failure to recollect where he was In the sixth. The same teams play all week, and Kinsella will probably pitch today.

SPOKANE made it eight straight from Portland yesterday, for the Indians swiped seven in a row at Spokane. Brown's bunch won't make It seven straight this week, for, unless they show more class ' than yesterday, they will have a hard Job getting an even break. Judge McWtedie and Bob Brown have not yet decided whether to play a double heHder Friday or not. If Spokane con tinues to win Brown will be only too willing. Judge McCredle requested permission of President Lucas yesterday to play both I.abor day games in the afternoon, in stead of playing one In the forenoon. Mr. Lucas stated It was agreeable to him, but it may be necessary to get permis sion of the other league directors. ' Lou Nordyke adorns first base for Spo kane loo per cent better than he ever did for Vancouver. Can It be possible that Lou wanted to get away from the Canucks? Hereafter none of the Portland pitchers or players will be permitted b journey to nearby Jjush towns for Sunday games. Tbm Seaton, who pitched Saturday, went to St. Helens Sunday and yesterday he was the only slab artist on the bench, and had anything serious happened to Samuels, he would have been called to the slab, making three days in succes sion. Judge Alccredie and Manager Casey have put the ban on such occur rences! in the future. As a fielding team Spokane looms up grandly without Burnett and Connors, the sluggers, but without them It Is also very weak with the willow. However, Burnett Is still with the team and will probably resume his outfield position this week. "Dutch" Altman made a beautiful stop of Crocker's grounder in the seventh in ning yesterday, but marred his good work by heaving the ball yards wide of Nordyke. Crocker was nipped trying to take three bases ' on the play, for "Dyke" recovered the ball quickly and made a perfect peg: V "Count" Bassey distinguished himself as the star throwing outfielder, for he again tossed a runner outlet the plate on the attempted score on a long fly. Nor dyke was on third by virtue of his own double and Samuels' wild pitch, when Bob Brown laced a long fly to Bassey, who threw straight and true into Arm bruster's mlt and "Dyke" was nipped standing up. When Bob Brown sighted the score board reading "Seattle 10, Aberdeen 2," he did not feel half as Jubilant as. when the Vaughn-street proceedings were over. Bob had it all doped out that' Eddie Sie ver would beat Lynch's braves, but he didn't. v Mrs. Henry Davis, of Eau Claire, Wis., wife of the principal backer of the Eau Claire Club of the Wisconsin-Minnesota League, is visiting Mrs. W.
