CPpecial.) The Seals were given their
worst drubbing of the season to
day, and they looked like the rag
tag and bobtail of a hard winter as
they finished on the short end of a
31-0 score. Slim Love could not pitch
hay. the fellows behind him made
costly errors, and none of the home
crew could hit a lick on earth, so
they made a sad mesa of everything
they tried.
Portland has a pretty fair ball club
but It has no license to trounce the
Seals by any 11-0 score, and Charley
Graham should begin to prod hlB hired
men and make them show a little
Ufa.
IjOt la Beaver Joke.
Tor four Innings it was a hall
crame, with both Love and Ross hav
ing the best of the hitters, but after
that Love was a Joke. Wisterzil got
the only hit off Love in the first
four rounds and he was left stranded,
while the Seals did not nick Ross
tor a slnirle safety in that time.
Sam Agnew tried to pick Bltf Schai-
ler off third base in the fifth and
hit Biff In the tonneau. He scored
the first run of the game on that
miscue. After that it was easy for
Portland to make runs. They hit
about as they pleased, and when they
were not driving- in runs on the
equare, some Seal helped theni by a
bad pes.
Had Is Good 1y Contrast.
A bombardment of four hits, three
of them doubles scored four runs in
th eitrhth. and for fear the game
wm.lrl not be finished before dark
M.naimr Graham had Herb McQuaid
pitch the last Inning. Herb was found
for only one run, and that did not
teem like anything after what had
happened. Score:

FOREST HILLS, N. T., Sept. 1.
Standing out boldly above all other
competitors, William M. Johnston. San
Francisco, playing-through title hold
er, and R. Norris "Williams II, Boston
twice holder of the hon&r, displayed
their skill In the third round of the
39th all-comers Rational tennis cham
pionship tourney today. Williams rose
to the topmost flights of his brilliancy
against one of the most formidable
of the Callfornians. Willis E. Davis,
Pacific coast champion. On the other
hand, Johnston played somewhat fluk
ily against Nathaniel W. Niles, Massa
chusetts star. He. outplayed Niles,
who was unable to uphold his game
to the end.
Service Aces In Profusion,
Johnston defeated Niles 6-4, 8-10.
7-5, 6-2. In the third set Niles was
three times within a point of the set.
but on each occasion was fought off
by Johnson's sharply-crossed volleys.
Williams defeated Davis 4-6, 6-4, 6-4,
6-2. The twice holder of the crown
of the singles courts finished this en
gagement playing super tennis. Serv
ice aces were in wonderful profusion
in his latter games and he finished
the match by shooting over a ball that
Davis could not touch.
There were other matches today
fully as interesting and all having
their share in the eventual decision.
William T. Tilden II, winner of the
world's title at Wimbledon, was sud
denly called to court ahead of sched
ule because of the default of Fred
erick B. Alexander, and accounted for
a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 victory over Samuel
Hardy, captain of the Davis cup team.
Tilden was not inclined to exert him
self in this match.
Richards to Meet Tilden.
Among other winners were Vincent
Richards, Roland Roberts of the Cali
fornia forces, Watson M. Washburn,
G. C. Caner and Walter Wesbrook,
Michigan 6tate title holder. There
was considerable interest in the way
Richards played, and it was evident
that he is at the top of his game as
his volleying and net attack defeated
Fred O. Josties, St. Louis. 6-4. 6-1
6-1. Richards meets his old partner
lliaen in the fourth round tomorrow.
Clarence J. Griffin, San Francisco,
defeated Fred B. Alexander, New
York, by default.
R. H. Rurdick, Chicago, defeated

PROPAGANDA USED
TITLE' BATTLE
Dempsey-Miske Mill Gets Ar
tificial Stimulus.
INTEREST FOUND LAGGING
Public Has Xotion That Challenger
Possesses Little Chance and
Fails to Warm Cp.
Billy Miske remarks that he ex
pects he will have a tough fight when
he gets into the ring with the world's
champion heavyweight boxer. Jack
Dempsey, next Monday at Benton
Harbor. Doubtless there are thou
sands of boxing fans all over the
country who agree with him. Like
wise these same fans are expressing
the opinion that Billy doesn't yet ap
preciate just how tough it Is going to
be. The majority of them seem to
think it will be Just as tough as it
can be.
But no matter what the fans think,
there never was a proposed battle in
the history of pugilism in which both
the principals did not expect to be
returned the victor. However much,
in his heart, a boxer might think he
had no chance of winning against his
opponent, he certainly would not ad
mit of such a possibility. Such an ad"-
mission at once would kill the bout as
dead as a doornail.
Propaganda Used tor Interest.
Furthermore, any hajter who
thought he had no chance of winning
doubtless would lose, as it would in
dicate an utter lack of confidence in
himself, and confidence not overcon
fidence is half the battle. Whether
a boxer assumes this confidence or tt
is genuine is something the public is
unable to determine.
There are two classes of fights in
which a champion can participate. In
the first class one finds no need for
any artificial stimulus to awaken the
interest. Such fights as those between
Jeffries and Johnson and Dempsey and
Willard are examples of this.
The Miske-Dempsey battle may be
rated as of the other class, wherein
it is found necessary to issue propa
ganda in order to arouse the interest.
The public has its preconceived notion
that Mlske has little chance against
the champion. The effort is made to
change this opinion. A battle between
the negro. Wills, who knocked out
Fulton, and Dempsey would not re
quire as much of this propaganda, for,
while the majority of fans doubtless
would back the champion to win out,
the fact that both of them had
knocked out Fulton would, of itself.
give such a bout an interesting twist.
Mlske May Surprise Fans.
But the unexpected always is likely
to occur. There are few who gave
Jim Corbett a chance to vanquish the
gladiator, John L. Sullivan, but the
slim bank clerk turned the trick, so
there is always the possibility that
Dempsey may be the one to find tha
battle against Miske a tough one.
Benny Leonard, lightweight cham
pion of the world, is to meet Knock
out Loughlin of South Bethlehem as
the headline attraction for the re
opening of the 3d regiment armory
in Camden, N. J. It will be Leonard's
first appearance in the vicinity of
Philadelphia for more than a year and
also the fans will get an opportunity
to see the New Yorker, who is being
passed up by the lightweights, meet
an opponent in the next division.
When it was discovered that the
legitimate lightweights were side
tracking the champion it was decided
to get an opponent for Benny who
was in the welterweight class. Lough
lin was picked as the "fall guy."
The match will go 12 rounds or less
and in audition Joe Benjamin, former
Portland boxer and at present Leon
ard's stable mate, will take on Frankie
Conifrey of New York in a scheduled
ten-round go on the same card.

Sporting News and Notes.
A wise statistician has figured out that
a batter stands up at the rubber tureen
and takes 64.000 pitched balls during his
career as a ball player. Occasionally a
batsman gets nicked In the body or arms
by a wild heave, but the percentage is not
more than one In d4.000 that he gets It on
the bead. There isn't any accident Insur
ance shark who wouldn't hot-foot after
that kind of business.
Several yearn ago Vernon used to have a
giant catcher named Sheehan. Benny
Henderson tried to slip over a third etrike
oa him one afternoon when Portland and
Vernon were playing at Vaughn street and
the ball hit Sheehan squarely en the jaw.
Two hundred and thirty pounds of athlete
swayed for a moment and then dropped
like a big spruce tree into a puddle of
mud and water near the home plate.
Sheehan was out for ten minutes. That
was the last third strike Henderson tried
to slip across on any batsman.
The recent accident in the east that cost
ths life of Ray Chapman brought down a
great deal of criticism on Carl Mays, form
er Portland slab artist, who pitched the
fatal ball. One of Mays' detractors was
no less a personage than 'lyrus coon,
which makes it more Intricate, for Cobb
Is ths bird who Is said to take his spikes
to the barber shop to have them homid
and ready to out somebody eliding Into the
bases. Cobb and Mays had quite-a little
trouble some years ago and Mays admitted
while In Portland that winter that be had
often "dusted" them at Cobb's head to
drive him back from the plate.

the school will have practically an

before the season is over. Among
the Aberdeen veterans who will not
