J. Pluvlus tried his best to help the
Hrowns win from Oakland yesterday af
ternoon, but in spite of some very clever
baseball Jockeying by Manager Vigneux
J. Pluvlus delayed the appearance of his
sprinkling too long, and the visitors went
back to the fodder with the game won, but
only half played. Lohman had his- Swats
town boys well greased and they were
pelting Joe Kostal's benders all over the
lot and over the fence. - Mosklman, too,
was getting his spanking, but the Brown
ville boys w.ero not getting their blngles
into the land which produces runs, and
when the matinee assault became ancient
history on account of the typical Ore
gon Spring, the score was 4 to 1 against
them.
Twice Umpire McDonald led the stam
pede for shelter, and as many times the
baseballlsts went back to. pounding the
horsehide over the field. The third time
the weeping clouds pulled off the regula
tion half hour of tears, and Manager Vlg
isux, who had fought not only the rain
but Pete Lohman in hopes that the sun
would come out, was forced to yield, and
the half-frozen, half-soaked fans sprinted
for the cars and something to warm the
Inner man. Just about a minute before
the regulation half hour had passed,
Sammy sent a runner to the clubhouso
and ordered his men to appear on the
diamond. The sun was trying its best to
smile at Bammy and he said to the um
pire: "There, we have a minute yet and
there's the sun; we'll play ball."
"No, you won't," said McDonald, not
while a drop falls," and ho extended the
hand that has fined many a player and a
pearly drop of rain nestled snugly on a
sunburnt hair. By this time the "Water-'
Jbury In the hands of the scarlet-domed
sofficlal scorekeeper tolled off the last and
deciding minute. Pete Iiohman, who, dur
ing the half hour wait had waxed from
?deep and double-dyed anger Into spasms
of "real spiteful .cuss words," broke out
in a 'most sinful smile, and he sent his
jnen home with tho injunction that they
again ' appear, at Twenty-fourth and
"Vaughn streets this afternoon and repeat
their swatting bee.
The Browns wero first to bat, and they
took an early liking to the serving of
Mosklman. Kaldy poked a peachblossom
that was good for the first station and
the deacon neatly sacrificed him to sec
ond. "Whispering Phil caught one on the
end of his wagon tongue and it Journeyed
into the outfield. Harlow was running for
the little shortstop and would have been
an easy out but for "Dr. Levy" Shields,
-who was coaching at third. Shields tried
yelling to Harlow to hold him on the sid
ing, but the catcher was working under
a full head of steam, and was not paying
any attention to danger signals. Just
as he rounded for home. Shields threw
him with a beautiful low tackle and
rolled him back to the pack Just in time
to save him from being thrown out.
Shields knows all about football, and he
showed his skill In his tackle of Har
low, for this was the only run scored by
tho Browns during tho engagement.
Sammy Vigneux, although he made an
error In the opening chapter, made a cork
lng single. Tho drive was the cleanest
and prettiest that the manger has
smashed for many a day. He was forced
at second on Harlow's fielders' choice, and
Joe de Kos was ozoned'; so there was
nothing doing. In the third canto Xadeau
and Andrews both singled, but there were
two men out and Andy Anderson was not
equal to the task of helping them home.
In the fifth chapter Van Burcn, Nadeau
and Andrews all singled, but the deacon
was nipped at second on tho throw-In of
Andrews' hit into center, garden.
Lohman's-red brigands made their two
hits in the first inning count for one run.
In the second they made one single and a
man hit by a pitched ball count for an
other score. Two bingles In the third act
netted one run and in the fourth there
was nothing doing with the three men
who faced Kostal. "While it was raining
Lohman washed O'Hara's batting, eye
out, and the centerjlolder smashed one of
Joo'a slants for ono of the most sneaking
homo runs-over recorded. The ball that
O'Hara swatted cleared the fence, came"
In contact with the resisting atmosphere
and bounded back into the diamond.
Engle was after the ball, and when It dis
appeared he started for his position again,
only to receive a great shock, for there
was tho ball rambling at his feet. He
picked up the ephere and threw It to sec
ond so quickly that O'Hara clung to the
cushion until the umpire told him to trot
around the circuit Some think tho ball
hit a boy on the head and rebounded, some
Bay It struck a lumber pile, but no mat
ter what they say. O'Hara Is saying noth
ing. Ho's satisfied that he got the
homer. The score:

SOME GOOD MUD JOCKEYS
AS MUCH DEPENDS UPON RIDER AS
THE HORSE.
Animal and Boy Like or Dislike 'for
Heavy Golu& an Important Fea
ture In Purse Winning1.
"Did It ever occur to you that" it is Just
as Important to -study a jockey's.-mud-,
riding ability as it Is to figure a -horse's
mud-running ability?"
This question was asked by a student of
form who has considerably enriched him
self by closely watching and "weighing
every incident in racing. He proceeded
to demonstrate his theory.
"Take the past meeting, at New Orleans
for example and I can show yqu that mud
riders are the thing in mud' going. There
was little short of a deluge all Winter and"
if the track was really fast it must' have
been on Sundays or at midnight some
time. 1 firmly believe It was that condi
tion that put Jockey Fuller Into promi
nence. "When Archie Zlmmer appeared on the
'grounds with his charge he had some trou
ble finding good, mounts for him. The boy
was comparatively unknown, and what
measure of success is his did not come to
him he went after it That he was a
success was demonstrated in the first few
weeks of the meeting. He simply reveled
In the deep-going and after he had hooked
up with Odom, Buchanan, Redfern and
some of the others of quality a few times
people reached the conclusion that ho
knew how to sit on a horse. Before the
close- of the meeting the fact of Fuller
having the mount when the track was
muddy would result In a shorter price
than would reasonably be expected. Thi3
was as It should be, for he developed into
a mud rider who was pounds better than
anything else on the track.
"I will say, on behalf of the boys of
known ability who were at the track, that
they did not have as many 'muddy mounts
as did Fuller, and some of them showed
a disposition to 'duck the sloppy tracks
They did not relish being .splashed and
bumped about, and mounts, were taken
Under protest Fuller had a reputation to
make; the others had made- theirs. - Ful
ler made his reputation, and when some
of the good ones met him they lost a par
ticle of what was Justly theirs bjr former
cleverness In the saddle.
"Coming a llttlo closer to him, I want.
to say that "W. F. Presgrave has a, mud-.
runner for fair in Haack, the boy who has
been surprising everybody at Banning re
cently. It was last winter at New Or
leans that Haack first attracted the notice
that won for him his present comfortable
berth. He knew the way around the
track In the sticky going and many a race
was won by his courage and cleverness
when the muddy clods were flying, or the
water and slush were splashing In .all di
rections. One of his most sensational
rides at the New Orleans meeting was
the time he was first with King, Barley
corn, which was as good as 100 to 1. It
was much such a race as he rode on Turn
pike last Wednesday. King Barleycorn
was particularly sluggish tho first part
but Haack kept at him resolutely and just
got up in time to nose out Tho Messenger.
It was purely a case of rider, 'and from
,that time Haack was given some consid
eration.
"Bennlng, with its muddy going, has
shown that Haack Is still a mud boy of
the first water or first mud. He has dem
onstrated that fact so thoroughly that he
is being freely picked as one of the best
in his division.
"Another mud rider, who was developed
at the long session of mud In New Or
leans, is Gannon. He has certainly made
good at Bennlng, and It was form that he
should in view of his performance In New
Orleans.
"W. Hicks, tho rider recently engaged
by Perry Belmont Is another of the mud
quality. That is, muddy tracks first
brought him into the public eye.
"There are several others I can't think
of Just now who have been singularly suc
cessful in the mud. while over a fast track
they have been outgeneraled by the same
jockeys that they outride in the slop. It
is not a question of luck; it is just a na
tural superiority in that particular and
most important branch of riding.
"Keep your eye on the jockeys when it
is . muddy and see .If I'm not about right
when I say there aro good mud boys Just
as there are good mud horses."

SALEM, Or.. May 16. (Special.) Eu
gene defeated Salem at baseball this after
noon by a score of 14 to 10. The game
was played on the Capital City Club's
new flld In the presence of a fair-sized
rowd. The weather was cold and the
ground somewhat wet, so that the play
ing .was slow. At the beginning of the
last Inning the score was 7 to 4.
The game suddenly livened, up and hard
work was done on both sides during the
ninth inning. For Salem the strong player
was Saunders, who made two two-base
hits and one home run. For Eugene
Chapln made a home run, bringing in two
men who were on bases. Tallfero's pitch
lng and Hartley's good work at first base
were strong polnt3 In Eugene's favor.
Teabo, Salem's catcher, made several
splendid plays that won cheers from the
crowd. Eugene stole six bases to Sa
lem's four, and Talifero struck out six
men to Graham's four. Only one double
play was made , during the game.- that
being, from Arch Jerman to Sumner and
to Saunders 4n the-first inning.-

An exnert analysis of the new challenger's
work durlnr the trials on this side or tne
Atlantic proves that this Is the best chal
lenger ever built and her friends go even
further and assert that under the weather
conditions Drevaillnc during her trials she
la the fastest cup-racer ever produced.
There has been no opportunity, however.
to ludco of her sailing dualities in a neavy
sea and wind. The trials were one-sided,
all being fine-weather sailing, with occa
sionally a fresh breeze, but never wind
enough to break the spray over their bows.
Hence, winds of over ten knots strengtn
may find the challenger's weakness.
Her out-and-in form still puzzles out
siders, but the best judges are of the opm
ion that this is proof that the fine form
shown might have been improved had the
skipper and designer so desired. Compari
sons based on the trials show that the
challenger. In going to windward in fresh
weather. Is better than the Shamrock I by
a minute on the mile, and in a hard breeze
and smooth water 20 seconds better, and
that running down the wind she is prob
ably a minute better than the old boat
while In reaching in a moderate 32a she
excels the Shamrock I by about half, a
minute.
Considering that under similar condi
tions the Shamrock L off and on. -was as
good as the Shamrock III, calculations can
be completed with the Shamrock irs per
formance against the Columbia. It must
be remembered, however, that the chal
lenger has a largely Increased sail area
over that of any cup-racer, and that un
less the Reliance has gone to the same ex
treme as the challenger, there will, be a
heavy time-allowance penalty.

ERRORS IN HISTORY.
They Are Not Uncommon and Are
Uiiually Gratefnlly Received.
ASTORIA. May 16 (To the Editor.)
As my attention has been called to some
points deemed erroneous In my history
of Oregon, I would ask space In your
columns' to say to subscribers or pur
chasers of the work that I would esteem
It a favor that any matter deemed Inac
curate or erroneous be communicated" to
me.
Errors in a publication are usually of
the following character: Typographical,
merely: slips of the proofreader; mistakes
of transcription; misapprehension of the
writer, or ' of differences in authorities.
Besides this there is the wiae nem 01
differences In opinion, or conclusions
many being unable to distinguish be
tween a fact and what is properly but
their own personal Inference from facts,
or supposed facts. Still further, different
persona will estimate differently tne value
of events and give varying proportions to
the elements constituting the whole.
Typographical errors or mere blunders
of haste should not certainly, be expect
ed In a standard work, yet are almost In
variably found, particularly In first edi
tions, and Indeed seldom, or never, dis
appear entirely: almost every teacher or
student. Including myself, having noticed
or reported such even in standard text
books. By reference to the preface of
my hlstqry it will be seen that the work
was undertaken with full .understanding
that a complete or critical history of Ore
gon could not yet be written; but It was
thought worth while now to lay the basis
of an investigation ana ass me paironaga
of the public. I would therefore feel It a
most friendly courtesy If any supposedly
erroneous matter, whether mere slips or
differences of Information or opinion In
the great number of details that It has
been attempted to fumlsh would be re
ported to me. I am confident tnat tne
work has been begun on a sufficiently
broad basis to bear much further elabora
tion. Any mistakes reported, togetner
with such as may be found by myself,
will. If they seem sufficiently numerous
and formidable, be collated and published
as a naee of errata, and the corrected
list be furnished each subscriDer or pur.
chaser, so far as these may be known.
I hope that this may prove a usexui
line of Inauiry and place tne readers
somewhat on their own mettle, and thus
furnish me matter for notice in a second
edition. If this should be produced. Such
Investigation and criticism would also es
tabllsh more firmly in public confidence
such data as do not prove open to ques
tion. H. -S. LYMAN.
SEVEN FEET NINE GIANT
Feodor Machow, a. Russian. Possibly
World's Largest Man.
Chicago Tribune.
Of all the giants that have appeared be
fore the public within the last 30 or 40
years none can be compared with the
Imposing Russian who has recently been
on exhibition In Berlin, Germany. The
giant whose name Is Feodor Machow,
has been exhibited by the Anthropological
Society, of Berlin, where ho has under
gone a rigid examination and carefut
measurements, which have resulted in
establishing the truth of his claim of
being the largest human being on the face
of the globe.
Professor Felix von Luechan, the fam
ous ethnographical student who conducted
the examination, submitted the following
written statement to the head of the in
stitution: "I have carefully examined and meas
ured from an anthropological standpoint
Feodor Machow, of Kustjaky, Russia,
who is now about 22 years of age. He is
7 feet 9 inches in height and cap there
fore be classed -with the largest giants
, that have ever lived. He exceeds In
height all the known living giants by at
least a head, and Is In many respects of
great scientific interest"
As a matter of fact, all the giants who
have been exhibited In Europe up to the
present time were from 4.7 to 5.9 Inches
shorter than Machow. Their height was
between 6 feet 10 Inches and 7 feet 5
Inches, according to documents placed
with the Anthropological Society by the
lata professor Virchow. The showmen
however, always exaggerated the height
in advertisements.
Feodor Machow cpm.es from an old Rus
sian family, whose ancestors are said to
have emigrated to Russia from the south,
probably from Syria. His parents, as,well
as his two brothers and one sister, are
all of normal size. His grandfather was
. large, but In no sensa a giant It Is said,
however, that in earlier generations of
the family large specimens occurred.
Vlewinc this case irons tho standpoint of
the theory that mental and physical

What you have to do to win one is to
give the best reasons why Ellers Piano
House can afford to sell pianos -as It does
for from $100 to $150 less than any other
piano store on the Coast
There are just any amount of the best of
reasons, and you will not have to seek
far to find them. You know we have four
large houses that we have to keep supplied
with pianos. That may make some differ
ence in the freight rates we secure. We do
not ship our pianos in boxes, which Is a
material saving in weight and that might
make a further difference in cost of ship
ment Then we have our own warehouse
down at Thirteenth and Marshall streets,
with the railway tracks running right up
to it See If you can think of any saving
that would make. Then If our pianos al
ways give gcod satisfaction, do you not
think a great many people would buy
them, and If so, would that make It worth
while for us to take less profit? These
questions may help you some. There are
a great many other reasons, too. So set
yqur wits to work and see who can send
in the most and the best ones. Children

traits ore inherited, it would seem that
the theory Is strengthened to a certain
extent especially In regard to bodily
stature. -
The boots worn by Machow, which
scarcely reach to his knees, reach an or
dinary person almost up to the waist
and a 12-year-old boy could easily find
room inside one of them. The ring which
adorns the index finger of Machow's
hight hand is so large that a half dollar
can easily be passed through It A steel
spring mattress of extra size and
strength had to be made for him and
placed on a strong iron frame. This
promising youth eats at each meal at
least three pounds of meat and a pro
portionate quantity of potatoes, vegeta
bles and bread, with a relishing appetite.
It Is at the cost of much trouble and still
greater expense that, the saciety enter
tains him.
