Hast ings, on the other hand, was easy for the Loo L-oos, and if It had not been for the excellent playing about short stop and the plate the score, 7 to 0, would have been worse. The fielding of the Loo Loos had the brilliant touch that corked the hopes of the Browns in a bottle every time Grey allowed a hit. Yesterday was a one-sided pitch ers battle. But today, with Jake Thiel man in the box, after a week of hard practicing, and Doc Newton pitching for the Angels, it will be a pitchers' battle with the money even. It "was a sad game yesterday, and the fans had a gone feeling that would not give way to anything but a desire to curse the umpire. The Loo Loos had things coming their way, and that was all there was to it. Everything turned to gold with them and the Browns could only find dross. The funeral, personally conducted by Mr. Grey, took this line of march: The Loo Loos made a run the first crack. Bernard had gone out to short and Flood to first when Smith sent one so hot to Hurley that he could not handle it, andby the time it had cooled off a. bit the runner was safe. Cravath sent a still hotter one that singed Spencer and burned grass all the way to the center-field fence. That brought in Smith, but Cravath after making third, died there when Raymond fielded another stinger from Chase. The Browns went out in order, seemingly bent on sending the ball Into the most unfortunate places. But the Angels, wth all their fancy batting, could not send another man across the plate until the sixth. In the meantime the playing was an even match, Los Angeles having a little the better In batting, but the Portland fielders doing some splendid work. Raymond was showing great speed at short and Castro, who was in at right, made one throw, cutting off Bernard at third, that was a great piece of play ing. That was in the third and prob ably saved a run. Hurley was tlie only man In'the infield playing in, hard luck. Even when he had to field grounders off first, Hastings was beaten to the base by the runner. In the sixth Portland knew its fate. Bernard beat a bunt to first. Flood sent Raymond such a hot one that he landed on first about a Quarter of a second in advance of the ball, then Smith's bunt was thrown wild by Steelman to Hur lev and wildly returned when Bernard tried for home, with the result that both runners wer,e safe. Before the next run that ended the Inning there was some beautiful throwing. Cravath lined one to center-field which Drcnnan returned to the plate in time for Steel- man to send It on to Beck at third, where Flood was caught Chase's liner to left brought In Smith, and Steelman dashed Into the grandstand to catch a high foul of Toman's and ended mat ters. There was a chance in the seventh for the Browns to retaliate, but it did not last. Drennan, who is batting over 400 so far in the second half of the season, made a clean hit to right, but Beck flew to first and Castro's bunt was only good as a sacrifice. When Smith dandled Raymond's grounder, hesitating whether to throw out Dren nan or Raymond, both were safe, but Isadeau forced out Drennan by another to Beck, and the hoodoo settled down over the whole landscape. The run In the eighth was made by Bernard on a safe hit to right, a stolen base, third on Smith's grounder to shortstop, and home when Raymond burned himself with Cravath s liner. piping hot from the plate. The final slaughter came in the ninth, and the Browns only rallied to the point of getting Drennan and Beck on bases to die there when Castro, Raymond and Twadeau went out In or der. The three runs of the Loo Loos were assisted by an error. Cravath and Chase had both gone out readily and Toman was about to do the same at fist, but Spencer threw the ball so It tipped Hurley's glove. Then Ross sent one through third to left, and Spies ana Grey brought in Toman and Ross Spies came in before Bernard died at the plate. The score: PORTLAND. AB. R. H. PO. A.

CHAMPION POWELL COMING George H. Bush, the Montana Expert, R. G. Breeze, of Tacoma, W. A. .Bethel and W. A. Goss Will Vie for Honors. ' The sixth annual open tennis tourna ment for the championship of Oregon opens tomorrow on the Multnomah Club's courts with a big entry list and many good players. The schedule has not yet been fixed, but the drawings will be made tonight after the time of entry closes. The tournament will go on all day each day, and will come to an end by Saturday. Matches will be set each, night for the coming day and the hours fixed. There will be gentlemen's and ladles' singles and doubles and mixed doubles. Matches In the various events will be played each day. The gentlemen's open singles will run the biggest schedule, and contain the most Interesting events. The best players from Victoria and Tacoma, and George H. Busch, of San Francisco, will be here to meet the Portland players, and the fastest possible sets will result. With men like Goss, Bethel and Wick ersham to meet R. B. Powell, of Victo ria, and R. G. Breeze, of Tacoma, and a second string of good runners-up, not only the last days of the tournament, but the whole tournament will be full of good tennis. The position of the men who will play In this event, and some of tho past history connected with it show what kind of work is to be expected here. R. B. Powell Champion. R. B. Powell, the leading player In British Columbia, for two years cham pion there, two weeks ago defeated Bethel, winning the second champion ship. Bethel had won tho tournament, but to attain the championship played on the last day a challenge game with Powell, In which he was defeated after an exciting match. Powell was the only man in the Northwest and British Co lumbia whom L. R. Freeman, of Cali fornia, did not defeat last year. Free man holds all the championships except that of British Columbia!. He was victo rious at Portland last .year, but is not playing this season, as he is in tne Orient. Major W. A. Bethel, though-not rated last year as good a player as Walter A. Goss, the other Portland champion, stands to win the Fiske challenge cup for the third time this year, and earn by that the right to hold it. He is the only player who has won it more than once so far. He is playing a game this year which Is likely to entitle him to the championship. In the northern sets he defeated every one but Powell, and thoucrh he may have to meet him hero. It is no foregone conclusion that Powell will win. Goss. the champion of 1900, is playing the steadiest game he has ever. been known to put up. Breeze Best Player in Washington R. G. Breeze, of Tacoma, Is easily tho best player in Washington. No one in Tacoma can touch him, and Seattle Is out of It entirely this year. But he is hardly considered as good as any of the three men mentioned. Though he is a strong player, he does not show the brilliant streak stho champions display In tournament time. The dark horse is George H. Busch, of San Francisco, who was last year champion of Montana, He has never played here, but his record Is known, and he is expected to class with these leading players. It is hard to say what Brandt Wlck- ersham will do this year. He was not in the Spring tournament, and although he has been playing a good deal during the Summer, it Is hard to say whether he has Improved on his game of last year or not. Then he was a crack man, and though he could hardly play even with Goss and Bethel, he put up a stiff game with the best. Joe Smith Is Entered. The second line, as . It might be called, is this year headed with no less a person than the veteran tennis player, Joe Smith, who has not been out for several years. But in times past he has played great tennis. His game is characteristic by streaks of brilliancy that occasionally win games for him that -seem hopeless. It cannot be told whether he will play remarkably well this year, but, nevertheless, his past performances entitle him to a high place among the players. The entries for the gentlemen's sin gles 'up to last night follow: A. B. Mc- Alpin, R. G. Breeze. J. W. Ladd, D. S, Bellinger, W. O. Rudy. Irving RohxR. A. Leiter, George H. Busch, H. R. Fall Ing. J. H. Knight, H. A. Sargent, J. H. Rlcker, Walter M. Cook, Joseph H. Smith, Brandt Wickersham, R. Nunn, W. A. Bethel, Van W. Onderson, Walter A. Goss, George C. Durham, R. B, Powell and J. D. Hunter. The ladies' singles, which always create a great deal of interest and af ford good playing, are expected to be considerably better, this year. The entry list is hot large, but the names are all those of good players. This event has never had a challenge cup until this year, when one was put up by Walter Goss and Carl Lewis, who used to play nere togetner. Tne players are: Mrs Baldwin, Mrs. Langton, of Victoria Miss Amy Heitshu, Miss Rachel Jo seph!, Miss Stella Fording, Miss Nan Robertson and Miss Elizabeth Strong, Doubles an Unknown Quantity. In the double events there Is not a single combination that has ever ap peared before, and nothing can be prophesied. Breeze and Freeman won me uregon cnampionsnip last year. There are two cups up In this event. the Oregon and the J. Wesley Ladd challenge cups. Goss and Lewis have won them twice, but as that combina tion Is not playing together any more there is an open chance for any combl nation now forming. The teams now entered are: R. G. Breeze and J. D. Hunter, A. B. McAlpin and partner. R. A. Leiter and partner, W. O. Rudy and D. S. Bellinger, Fred Strong and Harry Falling, J. W. Ladd and Walter M. Cook, Joseph H. Smith and Brandt Wickersham, J. H. Rlcker and H. A. Sargent, R. Nunn and Captain Day, Walter A. Goss and partner, George C Durham and Van W. Anderson, and R. B. Powell and partner. The ladles' doubles are also a doubt ful guantity as the combinations aro , new. The entries are: Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Baldwin, Miss Strong and Miss Robertson, Miss Heitshu and Miss Jo sephl, Mrs. Langton and partner, and Miss Craig and Miss Fording. The most picturesque matches and those which draw the biggest crowds are the mixed doubles. The playinc is not any more excellent than In any of the other matches, but still they are viewed with more interest. The en tries so far are: Major Bethel and Miss Strong, Mr. Hunter and Mrs. Langton, Mr. Smith and Miss Robert son, Mr. Rudy and Mrs. Cook, Mr. Ladd and Mrs, Baldwin, ,R.. B. , Powell and partner, Mr. Gobs and partner, and R. G. Breeze and partner. HILMAN AGAIN CHAMPION. Takes Honors From Busch, of Butte, In Handy Fashion. HELENA, Mont., Aug. 20. (Special.) Cliff Hilman, veteran athlete and state champion when tennis was young In Montana, today regained his laurels. defeating George Busch, of Butte, and winning the state tennis championship, which was wrested from him bv Carr Nelll In 1900. Hilman also shaVed honors with Bailey In successfully de fending the state championship in dou bles, won by the two Helena players in Great Falls a year ago. Hilman lost one set while he was getting accustomed to Busch's style of play and getting himself straghten ed out for the contest. Hilman lost the first set, 3-6. Hilman won a love set- and in the next set won the third set, 6-4. Hilman won the fourth set and the match, 6-2. Immediately after the dofeat of Busch by Hilman the championship match in doubles was called, with Wherry and McLaughlin, the runners- up In the tournament, against Hilman and Bailey, the holders of the cham pionship. Although the match brought out some exceptionally fast playing, with some pretty rallies, Hilman and Bailey had the visitors at their mercy and outplayed them at every stage or the game. Bailey s great headworlc and good eye were Important factors In winning the game, while Tillman's net game wa3 also brought into play. Tho score was 6-4, 6-4, 6-1. WIN BY EIGHT RUNS. Portlands Play Cricket With Cru- sader Crew. A team of doughty seadogs from tlie British ship Crusader, now In port, showed themselves to be excellent cricketers in a match played yesterday afternoon on the Multnomah Field against the Port land Cricket Club. In the first inning, the Portlands won by the narrow margin of eight runs, but In the second Inning the Crusaders, true to their name, and as- sited by C. W. Lawrence, ran up a sur prising score of 128 runs.., Klngsley bowled and' fielded splendidly for the Portlanders and had the proud distinction of securing the whole ten wickets for ten runs. This feat Is very seldom duplicated anywhere, and was done once before in Oregon by C. W. Law rence, playing for the local club against Seattle and Tacoma In 1901, when he cap tured the whole ton wickets for 14 runs. Klngsley's bowling was dead on the wicket, and he was warmly applauded for his fine performance. Rev. Charles B. Bruce was the only Crusader to remain unconquered at the end of the inning for 15. He received a well-deserved ovation from the players and spectators, amongst whom were a number of women, for his plucky bat ting. The Crusaders were all out 'In tho first Inning for 51. Portland commenced badly. Webb, who has been scoring well of late, being bowled oft his pads for a cipher. Mld dleton, 15; Klngsley, 13; Grelg and Ry- lance, 8 each; all played well. But It was left to Mallltt and "Mascot Jones to make the winning hit, the side being all out for 59. The Crusaders entered on a second, and did much better, losing eight wickets for 128, when time was called. Lawrence retired after scoring 45. Parkinson for 41 played excellent crickeU In fact, most of the sailor boys made runs, and If the game had been- played out they would probably have won. During the Interval between the first and second games, tea was served on the grounds by the Women's Auxiliary of the Seamen's Institute, presided over by Mrs St. Martin, Miss St. Martin. Mrs. Ethel Webb-Uvesley, Mrs. T. Brooke, Miss Brooke, Mrs. T. Porter and Mrs. H. Fer neyhough. This was one of the pleasant .features of the ganie. An adjournment was then made to the Seaman's Institute, where a pleasant evening was" spent in singing and games. The scores: CRUSADERS. Stokoa, b Klngsley , 0.

Gordon Buris Pleads Guilty and Gets a Year's Sentence. George Burls, an incorrigible youth, pleaded guilty before Judge George yesterday to stealing a Win chester rifle m the store or Jiarsnaii Wells Hardware Company on East Morrison street on January 22. Ho was sentenced to one year In the peni tentiary. "The boy s mother is In San Fran cisco," said District Attorney Manning, "but he has an aunt here. He has been concerned in Ave or six thefts and his relatives have lost all hope In his reformation." John Zelgle, another boy, who was accused of complicity in the robbery. was allowed to go because the evidenco against him was Insufficient. Burls had nothing to say as to why ho should not be sentenced. Administrator Is Alarmed. John Kearney called at the Courthouse yesterday in response to a letter asking him to nle a final report as administrator of the estate of his father, Thomas Kearney, deceased, and soon after his ar rival in the building he reported that Jay Upton, clerk for Judge Webster, had threatened to give him SO days if the re port was not forthcoming immediately. 4VThe notice mailed to Kearney contained a copy of the law showing that proceed ings can be taken against delinquents. Mr. Upton Informed Kearney that he would give him 30 days time to report, and Kearney misunderstood the. clerk, suppos ing he told him he would be given 30 days in jail if he did not file the report very soon. Kearney went so far as to com plain to Judge Sears that Upton had threatened him. Courtney Is to Go. There are no new developments in the Poor Farm muss and doubtless no action will bo taken until there is a full meeting of the County. Commissioners' Court.

BINGHAMTON, NT. Y., Aug. 20. -(Spe cial.) Frederick Warde and Kathryn Kidder opened their season here to night, making their first appearance in Wagenhals & Kemper's spectacular pro duction of "Salambo. The theatre was filled with a fashionable audience, and the final curtain descended upon their enthusiastic approval. "Salambo" is the work of Stanislaus Stange, founded on Flaubert's classic. It recalls the glittering series of tho Sardou dramas. The great scene of the play is Salambo's visit to the tent of the Barbarian Matho at midnight in quest of the sacred veil.

Mrs. Mc Gulre knows personally every political leader in Oklahoma and It Is said of her that she smiled her husband into their favor. While thoroughly versed In politics, she Is only Interested In th'em "for my husband and the good of the party," as she adroitly puts it. Suf frage is furthest from her thoughts and ambition, for although she has proved adept in the field she only wants votes for her husband and does not have that strange yearning to vote her self which is so often experienced by woihen who have tasted of the excite ment of a political, campaign. "Mr. McGulre is now in'the midst of apother campaign, in which I feel sure he will be successful. I am going back in September and will be there for' tho latter part of It, but my presence will not make any difference In the result Oklahoma Is Republican now, you know."

Much Interest was felt in the work of Freder ick Warde, as he announces this to be ; his last season on the stage. In the role of Matho he has found a charac ter which will rank with the best work of his career. Miss Kidder's embodi ment of Salambo was delightful, piti ful and tragic. She has not been seen to -such advantage since the days of "Sans Gene." Wagenhals & Kemper's production Is one of the most magnifi cent stage spectacles of recent years. Merchants Will Test Act.

Mrs. Cortelyou, who was taken with the fresh, unaf fected mannerism of the plucky little .Western woman, called her "Mrs. Okla homa," and this name has followed her ever since. She declares she is quite proud of It, as it shows. that Oklahoma Is being noticed by Eastern people, and anything that brings her state to the front is all right. 'T want to say for Oklahoma that it Is right at the front and is going, to stay there. It Is not the wild, lawless, cowboy region which somo people sup pose, for our citizens have a marked de gree of culture and refinement. Take Guthrie, for Instance; Its residences are beautiful and its public buildings compare most favorably with those of any city of it size and ten times the age, our schoolhouses being far above the average. "I have been particularly well pleased with the work being- done on the Pa cific Coast by the women's clubs. Our clubs in Oklahoma have attracted pub lic notlco outside the state and belong to the general federation. Our club movement is only ton years old, and for the past eight we have kept fully abreast of tho times."
