THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND", JUNE 28, 1903. 15 NOW )T IS HELENA Rumor That Montana City Is to Be Dropped. SALT LAKE CITY HAY COME IN I Pacific Xational Icagac Directors on tlxe Verse of Making: Changes Schedule 3Iay Also Be. Rearranged. The Oregonlan last night telegraphed President TV. H. Lucas, of the Paclflc National League, for confirmation or denial of the report that Helena, -was to be dropped from the league. His answer was as follows: "Tacoma, "Wash., June 27. I know of nothing about any club being1 dropped. W. H. LUCAS." The- emphatic stand taken by the direc tors of the Paclflc Natioml Greengages has caused a shift In the rumored changes which had Portland scheduled for the erasing process. Now It Is not Portland i that is to be droDDed. It is noor Helena. i Helena, that was bled last year for $00, sent south this year and tried on the dogs, that will be cast adrift, and Salt Lake, i with new blood and new money, will be taken Into the Paclflc National League. A glittering schedule, bristling with Juicy dates, polished and arranged to a nicety. -will be made and when It Is finished it will be noticed that .the two California teams now playing In the north will con tinue to do so, so long as the gite re ceipts remain good. When things break to the bad which they hope will not be until late ia the Pall, when the season in tills neck of the woods is at an end, they will shift the northern teams to Califor nia and play there as long as the gate re ceipts will stand for It. The dropping of Helena sounds logical and would be a wise baseball move, for when it comes to baseball, Helena Isn't I "worth a punctured yen. Oregon City would come nearer supporting a ball team than this graft-stricken city with the fem inine name. Poor Flannery is a howling example of what cheap sports can do when they get "contraction of the wal let." Flannery worked hard getting the team together, and because of the Lucas-Dugdale-Garrett schedule, which gave Helena, together with Portland and Butte, the hot end of the stick, Helena decided to make Flannery's sit so uncomfortable for him that he would be forced out. Lucas may deny that he made out the Paclflc National League schedule with the view of favoring Seattle, Tacoma and Spo kane, but there are directors in the Port land club who will think so as long as they live. They are watching the trend of things closer than Uncle Sam guards his mints, and while they know that Lucas is nothing short of a figurehead when it comes to deciding what city shall be dropped and which shall be retained, they also know that a knock from him may carry a little weight. If Helena is as tired as things point that ehe Is, then this Montana city will be shortly without a baseball team. Salt Lake has been kotowing for admission to the Northwest League for a couple of years, and it may be now that the noise the has been making will be given a hear ing. Ogden is also knocking for admls elon, but Ogden Is no better than Helena, in fact not so good a baseball town. Since there has been so much talk about taking in Salt Lake there comes a story from that neck of the woods which says that where Salt Lake goes Ogden must go also in other words, the Pacific National League cannot take In one city without admitting the other. If this Is so, then there Is a possibility of another tangle. Deacon "Van Buren is still leading the chief stickers of the Paclflc Coast League. "While the Browns are being hammered down and clinched In the cellar the Dea con keeps clouting the ball on the nose. At present he Is batting .3S4. and is 2S points ahead of Dillon, who Is batting .356. Corbett Is next with .351, Mosklman .347 and Whispering Phil Nadeau Is close up with .346.

Graham, .276; Gray, .275; Butler. .274. v "That big Van Buren, of the Portlands, Is a very good batter." says Pitcher Joe Corbett. "I tried all I had on him the other day, and he slammed my best fast one up against the center-field fence, after fouling off about ten that I tried to make l.lm hit. Probably the most scientific hit ter In the league Is Pat Meany. He Is hard to pitch to, because his eye Is nearly perfect, and he is trying to place every ball he strikes at. Meany can send the ball through a hole In the lnfleld almost with certainty, and is a fine bunter. I do not know any cleverer hitter In the big league, and I have pitched to Burkett and some of the best of them. Irwin Is a clever" batter, but he has weaknesses: Meany can hit almost anything that comes over the plate, although he will sometimes tear his head off at slow ones. There are some great batters in this league better than people think." John McGraw, into whose hands the for tunes of the Giants have been deposited for safe keeping, bitterly objects to the sobriquet "Muggsy," wherewith he has been saddled. Some time ago he com plained, to Jim Jeffries of his inability to shake off the obnoxious nickname. "Why don't you tell people to cut it out?" asked "Jeff." "I have till my throat's sore," answered McGraw. "Well," went on "Jeff." "you could stop them saying it if you really wanted to. If I was you I'd stop them quick enough." "No, you wouldn't." contradicted Mc Graw, ruefully, "but If I were you. no body"d have the sand to tie a name of that kind on me." New York World. "Why is it the crowd always laughs when the umpire gets a clip with the balir Tv question was asked of belligerent little "Silk"' O'Loughlln. the kingpin of all the knights of the Indicator. His re ply was Just as prompt. "Because-they all think he's the villain In the big pkay and Is getting his due," said "Silk." "I have had clips all over my head, arms, legs and body. I was "knocked out once. I've been under doctors' care for Injuries, and have gone out and um pired and got more bumps, and every time the crowd laughs. It used to make me sore, but now I'm used to It. They haven- anything against me personally, but It's the umpire, the common enemy of all mankind they're after. There's Just one town In the whole circuit where the crowd Isn't tickled to death when the arbitrator gets a clip. That is Boston. There they seem to .really sympathize with you, and It's the best Indication of my mind the people of Boston are the best educated in baseball of airy in the United States. They understand the play and give the visiting team more of a show sometimes than their own, when It comes to applause. "Game in and game out, the umpire makes on an average of say 250 deci sions. Involving matters of judgment, speed, and presence of mind. He Isn't like a judge who can think his decisions over three or four days or more, if he wants to. He's got to speak right on the second. "Generally speaking, it's all in the way things are breaking for you whether you have what we call a successful series or not. An umpire may run up against a lot of close decisions in which the home team Is, to his mind, just a shade behind all the time. He is conscientious about it. of course, but It's much pleas anter to have the plays cleancut and so plain tliat anybody can see that the decisions must be right." Detroit News Tribune.

Secret Meeting Decides to Drop Los Angreles, San Francisco, Portland. HELENA. Mont.. June 27.(-(SpeclaL) It has developed that five of the six cities comprising the original Paclflc Northwest League were represented at the recent secret meeting held In Spokane. These cities were: Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Butte and Helena. Portland was virtually represented, inasmuch as the league owns seven-eighths of the stock of the Portland club, and a majority of the directors could therefore vote that membership. At this meeting President Lucas was not present, although in Spokane at the time. It was voted unanimously to drop Los Angeles and San Francisco and to trans fer the Portland club to Salt "Lake, as the league was being compelled to meet a monthly deficit in Portland. Owing to the poor attendance In Hel ena, however, there has been considerable talk of transferring the Helena team to Salt Lake. A local paper publishes a story to the effect that this Is highly prob able. Three-fourths of the directors if so disposed can, under the constitution of the Pacific Notional League, transfer or drop any club. The five representatives at the secret Spokane meeting agreed to vote at the Tacoma meeting to throw over the two California clubs, the reason as signed being the poor attendance and heavy traveling expenses. For instance, Helena lost $3000 on Its first swing around the circle. Butte lost even a larger sum. Theso two cities have positively decided to make no more trips to California, and it is up to Hart and Coleman to right the so-called "outlaws" as best they may see fit. A new schedule will be arranged at the Tacoma meeting. President Lucas is to be retained, but at a reduced salary, it Is understood. XATIOXAL LEAGUE. ' Standing of the Clubs. Won. Lost. P. C.

By some mistake the Oakland team failed to show up with Its regular complement of men. and Captain Lohman counted noses and found that he could make up a nine only by pressing all his cripples Into service. He also found that King and Walters, his new players from Indiana, had Jumped. Under the circum stances the Recruits could do little else but lose as gracefully as possible. Shields had a pleasant afternoon because the Recruits were mystified by what he had -to offer, and eight other visitors from Portland were In the urst fielding togs. Only once did Shields stray out of the right path, and then he was threatened with dire consequences. It was In the sixth that JDevereaux. O'Hara, Brashear and. Mosklman located the ball In rota tion, and Nadeau was accommodating enough to drop a long fly to help the good work along. The result was three runs, all that Oakland procured, as after that the Webfoot lefthander shut up like a jack-knife and declined to let the cripples hit hfe offerings safe. Gray was both wild and Ineffective. Like most southpaws, he has some very good days, but when he veers off in the other direction he Is superlatively bad. Yester day he wasn't very good. The score:.

Champion Anderson Mnst Play An other Match "With Brown. NEW YORK. June 27. After two daye of brilliant golf, 72 holes at medal play over the Baltusrol Golf Club links at Short hills, N. J., the open championship of the United States was brought to a close today withi a tie between Willie Anderson and David Brown. The former was the open champion In 1901. and Is the present open champion ofthe Western Golf Association. srctlon met with predictions of failure; as did his enterprise la the Fall of 1902, wnen he planted on the curb the slips of roses that today are beautiful specimens ot the La France, Mme. Caroline Tee tout and Ulrlch Brunner varieties. No mishap has befallen the roses from thieves, mischievous boys nor other causes. The rose trees are labeled, thus maklar them educators as -well as beaatiflers. This, Mr. Samuel thinks, should lone ago have" been done in the City Park. During his extensive experience with roses Mr. Samuel states that he has found the La France, Mme. Caroline Testout and Ulrlch Brunner the hardiest rose varieties. In spite of lack of attention, these roaes, he states, bear an abundance of flowers, and he recommends them to all who Intend to assist In making Portland the Rose City fcr 1905. The accompanying Illustration will give an idea of what two years' growth has accomplished. It- the example of Mr. Samuel Is followed by the residents of Portland this Fall. Portland yet shall be the Rose City of the world when the Lewis and Clark. Centennial begins. while the latter was the open champion of Great Britain In 1SSS. The tie will be played off on Monday.

(Special.) With the exception of the first inning, when Portland pounced upon his delivery for four hits, which netted three runs, Puttman's delivery was a complete enig ma to Portland, only' three safeties being recorded against him In the remaining eight Innings, and these were widely scat tered. The feature of the game was Muller's running catch of Davis' long fly. Just short of the left field fence. It looked good for three bases, but Muller, with a mighty sprint and jump In the air, dragged it down, but so great was the momentum of the ball that the fielder was toppled over. He managed, however, to keep his right hand, containing the ball, in the air, and quickly arising to his feet, nearly doubled Bradley, who thought the drive a safe one. f Nagle also made a star catch of Fish er's line drive tJ center In the same In ning. While the game was on the whole dull and uninteresting, Tack3 Parrot and Slats Davis furnished no end of amuse ment by their antics. The former's foot races with himself after the manner of a small boy and a wooden-horse, only a very fast clip, was a new one, and made a decided bit.

We have no patent prescriptions or cure-all preparations to. palm off upon unsuspecting patients; but if you are suffering from any o? the following diseases, you can come to us with a full assurance of obtain ing a speedy and permanent cure: So-called weakness, varicocele, hy drocele, contracted disorders, piles, stricture or specific blood poison. For twenty-one years we have been perfecting our methods for the treatment of the above ailments methods that are original with us and that are practiced by no physi cian other than ourselves. Our methods are not only original, but are effective, and our cures are last ing. Stricture Our treatment is absolutely pain less and perfect results may be de pended upon In every lnstmce. We do no cutting or dilating whatever. Specific Blood Poison No dangerous minerals to drive the virus to the interior, but harm less, blood-cleansing remedies that 'emove the last taint of infection. Scrofula, eczema, and all forms of skin diseases quickly and perman ently cured, with no bad after-effect; the blood is thoroughly and completely purified. Varicocele Absolutely painless treatment, Uiat cures completely without an operation. Investigate our method; it Is the only scientific treatment for the disease being employed. "Weakness" That condition commonly known as "weakness" is merely a symptom of chronic inflammation In the pros tate gland. It Is not a weakness at all, though in time it brings general ieblllty through Its depressing Influ ence upon the mind of the sufferer. We treat for the Inflammation oply and use mainly local remedies, and! In years we have not failed to ob tain complete and permanent re mits. The cause of "weakness" was discovered by ourselves, and no other physician can duplicate our cures. Contracted Disorders Every case of contracted disease we treat is thoroughly cured; our patients have no relapses. When we pronounce a case cured, there Is not a particle of Infection or Inflamma tion remaining, and there Is not the slightest danger that the disease will return in its original form or work Its way Into the general sys tem. No contracted disorder Is so trivial as to warrant uncertain uethods of treatment, and we espe cially solicit those cases that other ioctors have been unable to cure. PILES Quick Cures Certain Cures We cure, the worst cases of piles permanently without the use of ointments, without pain, cutting or detention from business, in from two to three treatments. Our treat ment is entirely new and necullar to ourselves.
