SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2. (Special.)
The war gods or Europe have nothing
on the Oaks and the Beavers. Inspired,
perhaps, by the hostilities on the Con
tinent, the Coast League clubs put up
a 15-inning battle at Ewing Field.
With Portland a l-to-0 winner In the
morning in what was purely a pitchers
contest, the opposing clubs went at one
another hammer and tongs In the after
noon struggle, evened it up when the
Oaks poled a run across the plate in
the last of the ninth and continued
with a scoreless game until Umpire
Finney called a halt, due to darkness.
In the 15th, with the score 5 to 5. Six
pitchers participated in the game.
Portland clouted Klllllay for three
nits in the first inning to send Kodgers
around the bases, after which they
stood stock still for five Innings, so far
as run-gathering was concerned. Relger
meanwhile had been wonderfully effect
ive against the Oaks, who went for six
innings with only two hits, and those
closely bunched.
Vvrnth Opens With. Rush.
Missing a chance in the sixth to
score- because Bancroft left third base
before a long fly was caught in right
field, the Portland team opened the
seventh with a rush. Kores began with
a double to third, the ball caroming to
the outfield. Lober fanned, but Buddy
Ryan let loose a three-bagger to center.
Gus Fisher followed it up with another
. triple, the first of two. by the way, and
was scored on a single by Relger, who
was out trying to stretch a sure hit
Into a possible double. Bancroft like
wise singled and went along' to third
as Kaylor booted, but Speas fanned to
retire the side. The Beavers had three
runs for the inning and looked the
logical candidates to win.
They were counting without their
host, for the Oaks -had under cover
tome swats of their own concoction in
that same seventh. With one man out,
Ness hit a three-sacker to center field.
Zacher hit safely over Rodgers' head,
Ness scoring. Hetling beat out an in
field bit. Quest rapped to left to tally
Za- her and finally Mltze cleaned up
with the longest three-bagger of the
day. The Oaks had three runs when
the inning closed and were on even
terms.
Portland gained a temporary lead in
the eighth on a single for Rodgers. a
sacrifice for Davis and a double for
Kores, but Oakland came right back in
t.-.e ninth for the final tie. Hetling
. drove to left and was sacrificed along.
Prulett grounded out, but Alexander's
uouoie Bavea mo aay. lnereuier mere
was action but no runs.
Harry Krause was in top form this
morning and the slipping Oaks were
shoved down another notch. The Port
landers landed on Prough in the fourth
for one run and it proved sufficient to
settle the winner.
Rodgers opened this inning with a
scratchy single past Prough and Cap
tain Davis advanced him with a single
to center. Korea' sacrifice. Prough to
Gardner, advanced the runnere and
Lober's sacrifice fly to left field gave
Rodgers his chance to score.
Oakland Lose Cbance.
Alexander opened the third with a
walk and took second on Gardner's
single to left, Prough having struck
out in his attempt to bunt. Mlddleton
forced the Oakland catch at third, spoil
ing the chance to score.
In the ninth, with two down. Guest
singled to left and Menges was put in
to run for him. Alexander's walk put
men on first and second, but Abrogast,
hitting for Geyer, could do no better
than fly out to Speas.
Prough was taken out in the seventh
so that Mitze could hit for him and
Oeyer pitched the last two innings.

schedule for seven and one
half hours through dust and over rocks.
The start was made from Tacoma at 6
o'clock in the morning. The contest
ants were allowed 11 hours to make
the run in. but only seven and one
half hours of actual running.
Several smashups between riders oc
curred Just out of Tacoma. C. C. Burces

1000 FANS ARE PRESENT
First Contest Thriller Cp to Last.
Defeat of Columbus Team Is
Real Surprise Outfielder
Powers Is Star.
One thousand ball fans were treated
to some crisp, sensational ball in the
opening games of the city semi-professional
championship series yester
day at the Coast League park.
The scores of the double header
were:
Bradfords, 3; Lipman, Wolfe & Co., 2.
Meier & Franks, 7; Knights of Co
lumbus, 6.
The defeat of the Knights of Co
lumbus was the real surprise of the
day, but the sensational pastiming of
a one-armed outfielder, Powers, of the
Meier & Frank team, easily was the
feature of the afternoon.
Powers caught flies, stopped ground
ers and batted as well as any other
player on the field. His first time up
he laced out a two-bagger into deep
conter and scored the first run for his
club.
Coast Lesgne Funs Boost.
Fielder Jones, S. B. Huston, Ed Ly
ons and a host of Coast League fans
were on deck for the fun and they
were unanimous in their boosts for
the class of ball put up and the orderly
fashion in which the umpires, Ed
Rankin and Harry Grayson, handled
the 'double-header.
The initial contest between the
Bradfords and the Lipman, Wolfe
teams proved a real big-league game,
with Miele, a former Northwestern
Leaguer, pitted against Dillard. The
game was a thriller up to the last
mynent. Kline calling the curtain
when he attempted to steal home in
the ninth with the winning run and
got caught at it.
Ed Kennedy starred at bat ror the
Bradfords and Nellson for the Lipman,
Wolfe & Co. team. Herschler and Bell
performed a couple of nifty fielding
stunts.
Second Game Fall of Errors.
The second affair was a coarsely
woven game in which misplays exactly
evened up with the scoring. The Meier
& Frank team made seven errors and
scored seven runs off Galvin and Cregg,
while the Knights of Columbus were
contented with six boots and six runs
off Webb.
Webb fanned 13 men and allowed
only sevon hits and deserved a better
score.
There was an abundance of rooting
all through both games, but the out
burst was very much a la AA circuit
at the close of each contest.
In the seconc same tho Knights had
men on second and third and the
score 7-6 against them, but the best
Hughes could do was a grounder to
second and that ended the game.
Weak catching troubled both clubs
in the final engagement. Some of the
outfielders almost collapsed with ex
haustion chasing overthrows to the
bases.
Next Sunday the second series of the
city titular series will be staged and
the fight will then have been elimi
nated down to the four fastest teams
in this vicinity.

ALREADY the international motor
boat regatta and the America
cup yacht races have been tem
porarily discommoded by the European
war, but presumably the international
tennis and billiard matches will come
off in the near future, as per schedule.
It is to be sincerely hoped that in
the Davis cup racquet clashes Mr.
Wilding, of Australia, will kindly re
frain from beaning Mr. Maurice Mc
Loughlin over the onion with a
stringed instrument.
We also trust that Mr. Inman will
not further stir up the molten condi
tion of international discord by throw
ing a billiard ball through the material
welfare of Mr. William Hoppe.
Let us join in the prayer, that, while
other nations war. our sports be sur
rounded with streamers carried in the
kindly bill of the gentle dove of peace.
In our fight for denatured sports we
have already been guaranteed the sup
port and good will of one, Hiram West,
star pitcher on the Portland Coast
League champion ball club.
West is a peaceably inclined sort of
fellow and has no ulterior motives in
his system.
It might be explained, however, that
Poor Hiram will be in for the battle
of his life if this European scrap con
tinues, for he is the sole representative
of the English war dog on McCredle's
payroll as against this horde of
Teutons:
Krause, Yantz, Speas, Rieger, Lober,
Kores and Hlgginbotham.
Ach, "Gott en Hiram."
George V has decided to line up with
France even though Carpentler shame
fully maltreat Bombardier Wells.
The speed of New Tork taxicabs has
been limited to 20 miles an hour, but
no limit has been placed on the taxi
meters. Konetchy, Mowrey and Harmon were
immensely pleased when traded to
Pittsburg by St. Louis during the
Winter. They were going from a tail
ender to a pennant contender. The
team standings now, however, show:
St. Louis, third; Pittsburg, last.
War is well, what Sherman called
it but why read your war news on
the first page when you can turn to
the sports and follow the Oakland
losing streak. That beats h .

CENTURY OPERA IN
LONDON IS LIKELY
Milton Aborn Negotiating for
Season at Convent Garden
Next February.
PLAN WILL BE NOVELTY
Manager of American Company,
Abroad on Annual Trip, Believes
He Is on Trail of Young Tenor
Working as a Mechanic.
LONDON, July 30. The prospects
are bright for the American invasion
extending to the London opera field,
according to Milton Aborn, the man
ager of the Century Opera Company,
who Is staying at the Savoy on his an
nual trip abroad.
A deal is pending between Mr. Aborn
and Harry Hlgglns, manager of Covent
Garden, to bring the entire Century
Opera Company of 176 persons here in
February for an eig,ht-weeks' season of
opera in English, something that Lon
don opera lovers have never had on any
such scale as is given in New York.
Success Hoped For.
Mr. Aborn has every reason to hope
and believe that the negotiations are
going through.
"It will mean that English opera
lovers for the first time will hear Puc
cini. Wilff-Ferrari. Charpentier, and
Massenet in English," he said. "We
will also give the international ballet
with 'Hansel and Gretel' in English,
another novelty for London.
"This may lead to our coming over
for a season every year at the close
of the New York season. They have
never had real opera in English here,
as we give It."
Mr. Aborn believes that he Is on the
trail of an interesting find in a young
tenor now working as a stone mason,
and said to possess a phenomenal
voice. He said:
"A friend of mine here put me on
to him. He has had some training.
Several of his fellow-workmen have
been chipping together to pay for his
tuition. I am told that he has been
singing occasionally in an out-of-town
church, and that his voice is truly
phenomenal.
Find To Be Tried Out.
"My friend Is going to take me out
in a few days to where he is working,
and get him to sing without letting
him know I am around. If he has the
goods, as they say, I shall probably
take him to America, in which case I
shall send him first to Paris to be
coached all Summer.
"I have not made many engagements
here as yet, although I have heard
about 50 singers so far. I have en
gaged Bettlna Freeman, a dramatic so
prano, and I am going to hear a protege
of Mme. Melba, Miss Irene Alnsley, a
New Zealand contralto, in a few days.
I am also negotiating with Myrna
Charlow, who is now singing in Paris
with Russell's Boston Opera Company,
to use her in the Century Opera prior
to her Boston season.
Cubby-Hole Boxes to Go.
"I am going to Paris next week,
thence to Milan and Berlin. If we come
to Covent Garden in February the man.
agement has informed me that it will
remove all those cubby-hole boxes ex
cept perhaps eight of the best, and re
place them with orchestra chairs. We
are planning to give English opera
here at straight theater prices, ranging
from approximately 60 cents to $2.50.
"I have been struck while here with
the fact that the English appetite for
grand opera is in the ascendant. It is
remarkable that both the Drury Lane
and Covent Garden are playing simul
taneously to enormous houses.
"I am having a little working model
of the Century Opera made here, com
plete In every detail, and showing
every seat in the house, and shall take
it back home with me to exhibit in the
lobby of the Century."
HOOSiER ON WHITE WAY
OL4N FINNEY CAUSES RIPPLE WITH
CHARMING TANGO DANCER.
(400 Is Spent Monthly for Automobile
on Pretty Woman Met in Ornate
"Persian Garden" Musie-Hall.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 27 Olin
Finney, son of Edwin Finney, of the
Cambridge apartments, has returned to
Indianapolis, after having spent six
months in New York, where he caused
a perceptible ripple on the "Gay
White Way," if reports that have come
drifting back here in the form of press
dispatches are founded on truth.
Chief among these narratives con
cerning Finney's adventures is that of
his supposed engagement to beautiful
Joan Sawyer, a charming tango dancer,
whom Finney met at the "Persian Gar
den," one of the ornate music-halls of
New Yonk, and the very sudden termi
nation of the engagement. It was in
January that Finney went to New York;
in May he and Miss Sawyer had be
come such good friends, according to
report, that she had taught him the
tango, the maxixe and all the rest,
had taken him as her dancing partner
for engagements in both Boston and
Philadelphia. Then the illness of Miss
Sawyer forced them to drop their plans,
it is said.
But what set the theatrical world
of New York to gabbling excitedly was
the way in which Finney was supposed
to be spending money. Among other at
tentions to the pretty dancer, the re
port from New York is that he paid $400
a month for an automobile for her. He
and Miss Sawyer are reported to have
become engaged, the dancer arranging
her trousseau and setting the date. The
engagement is declared to have come to
an abrupt termination when Miss Saw
yer learned that Finney didn't have an
income of $40,000 a year, after all, as
she supposed. It was hinted that Fin
ney had cut his brief, but spectacular
swath on a legacy of about $3000.

Over Reduced Prices.
OGDEN AND SALT LAKE CUT
Boise Refuses to Lower Admission
Fees and War Proceeds Reef
Accused of Attempt to
Disrupt Organization.
BOISE. Idaho, Aug. 2. (Special.)
The Union League is apparently not
out of deep water yet, although re
duced to but four clubs Butte, Hel
ena, Salt Lake and Ogden Boise and
Murray having been dropped.
The trouble now Is over the volun
tary action of the Ogden club this week
in cutting admission prices from 75 and
50 cents to 50 and 25 cents. Salt Lake
is Insisting on making the same re
duction. President Murphy, of the
league, objects and war has been de
clared. The prices maintained by the league
here are blamed for the small attend
ance in Boise and in other towns the
same complaint is made, but President
Murphy refused to cut. He asserts
President Relf, of the Salt Lake club,
is attempting to disrupt the league.
When the Boise franchise in the
league was suspended the directors de
cided to divide the Boise players. Muury
R. Evans, the owner, wished to keep
on the reserve list for next year, when
he expects to re-establish his club here.
These players were then drawn for
by lottery by the four other clubs and
were parceled off to them as follows:
Salt Lake Pitcher Toner and Short
stop Bostick.
Butte Catcher Gard and ritcher
Melter.
Helena First Baseman Thomas and
Outfielder Bauer.
Ogden Pitcher Kuss and Third Base
man Blausser.
The remainder of the Boise players
were declared to be free agents. They
are: Buck Weaver, catcher; Artie
Schlmpf, Infielder; Pitcher Schulti. Out
fielder Kelly and Manager Jensen.
Two deals of importance in the sale
of players were made this week. Pitch
er Esley McCreery was sold to the De
troit Americans and Outfielder Cliff
Marshall was disposed of to the ssme
club on an optional basis. Both are with
the Butte team.
Jess Garrett, former manager of the

DEER HUNTERS VCMEROCS
Cow Creek Canyon Invaded by 100
Sportsmen, 50 From Portland.
ROSEBURG. Or., Aug. 1. (Special.)
Never before in the history of Doug
las County were there as many deer
hunters in the woods as at present.
Cow Creek Canyon, a favorite haunt
for deer, was Invaded yesterday by not
less than 100 sportsmen from all sec
tions of Western Oregon. It Is esti
mated that Portland has already con
tributed 50 hunters, half of whom ar
rived here on early trains today. Most
of the hunters Invading the timber this
season wear red caps and shirts, and
it is believed this precaution will aid
materially in decreasing accidental
shootings.
Although the season did not open un
til yesterday, several deer were sent
here tonight, preparatory to being
shipped to Portland and other points.

AMERICAN COAL POPULAR
Italy's Navy Tests Out PVOttMl t''
.Places Order for IIS.OOO Tons.
NEW YORK, July 21. Following
practical tests of coals by officers of
the Italian navy for more than a year
past, the Italian government has de
cided that the smokeless col of West
Virginia Is the best In th. world.
Orders for 385,000 tons of thst coal to
be delivered within the net II months
have been filed with New York cosl
operators iaterested in the New River.
Winding Gulf and Pocahontss regions
of the West Virginia field.
Although West Virginia coal oper
ators are gratified by this appreciation
of the qualities of West Vlrglnls
smokeless coal, they are aware that the
Italian government will not use this
product exclusively, for a great deal of
Welsh coal will continue to be used by
the navy of that country. But Welsh
coal cannot be delivered as cheaply as
the American product, and It has been
proven that the Welsh product has In
ferior steaming qualities.
When the American fleet was ordered
to Vera Crux, the New York market for
smokeless coal was romparsiivi in
active. The Navy had at tidewater all
the coal that was necessary In time of
peace. But the sudden dispatching of
American warships to the Mexican
coast made it imperative that they
should be coaled quickly. Notice was
at once served upon the coal operators
that smokeless coal was needed In
large quantities, and the mines started
running on full time.
The effect of these orders has been
to stimulate business not only In the
coal fields of West Virginia but of
