There was nothing to this afternoon's baseball match but Virgil Garvin. From the time be ge gan bending them over in the initial Inning until tea time, the slender Texan had the Seals at his mercy. The fact that the Portland Giants won another 3-to-2 victory does not tell half of Garvin's work in the box. Gar vin used his famous underhand curve, mixed with his fade-away ball, and when the official scorer got through with his day's work he credited him with nine strike-outs. , In the seventh chapter Garvin retired the side, and in doing so he put only 11 balls over the plate. In this canto Irwin, Nealon and Gochnauer faced him, and they all went back tp the bench via the ozone Toute. Facing Garvin was a youngster whom Henry Harris picked up out of the Oregon State League. His name is Henley. Like Garvin, he finished the game with only three hits registered against him, hut if he had not had most sensational support he would have been chased to the woods by Portland's hard hitters. One Hand Stops Double-Sackers. Spencer and "Walters robbed big Mc ' Lean of at least two double-sackers by three sensational one-handed stops. It was by request that Garvin pitched today's game. Since he pitched and won his first game he has been study ing the Seals' batting abilities, and he had their weakness down to a fine point, and- if it had not been for three of the four errors that were tossed into the game by McCredle's men, the Say City ball-tossers would have been shut out. There was also a bad decision at sec ond that resulted In the gift of a run to the Seals. The game today was like that of yesterday. Portland had to come from behind to win. The Seals chased one run over the pan in the flrst Inning, due to a throw that Mc Lean let get away from him at the plate. The next run that Harris crew reaped was in the third Inning. Giants Go After Davis. After this the Seals were babes in Garvin's hands, and not a hit was made off him until the ninth chapter. "While all this was going on those Giants were fighting like street gamins over a crap game. Davis had his own troubles with the Portlanders after that bad decision at second, and they made him give them what was coming to them after that. Things floated along until the fifth in ning. Then the big thing, was cut loose. Householder and Atz drew free transportation. Runkle attempted a bunt that Henley caught. Clark, whose batting eye Is getting good, dropped a safe one over second and Householder scored when "Wilson let "Walter's throw get away from him. Garvin flew out to "Wilson. Then Deacon Van Buren sent a grass "burner that Gochnauer let ramble be tween his legs, and Atz and Clark scored. Manager McCredie singled and "Van .Buren was caught at the plate by a whisker on a splendid throw by Spencer. In the press box It looked as If Van Buren was safe, but Davis said no. Two Games Today. There will be two games here to morrow, and the fans here who make a practice of "betting on ball games are betting that Portland will take the series from the Seals. Bill Essick will pitch the morning game, and it will be either French or Jones in the after noon. Gllpatrick, who was released yesterday by Manager McCredie, nas "been signed by Russ Hall, of Seattle. He pitched this afternoon, and although the Siwashes were shut out, Gllpatrick let Oakland down with only two hits. The score: PORTLAND. AB. R. H. P.O. A. B. Van -Buren.

Spokane, Seattle and Portland for April 14, is practically assured, as an swers were received at the' Thornton bowling alleys tonight from all the cities to the effect that those towns were en thusiastic over the match, and would be glad to enter according to tho terms sug gested. San Francisco and Denver were expect ed to join the tournament, but these -cities have not answered favorably, so only five teams will be in the contest Bowling will start at 8:30 o'clock in Butte and Salt Lake; at 7:30 o'clock in Spokane, Seattle and Portland, which will admit of all the teams opening at the same hour. The inter-clty telegraphic bowling tour nament to be held April It at the Oregon Bowling Alleys is the latest bee to buzz around Portland tenpln' circles. This con test is arousing a great deal of Interest among bowlers, and the event will bo closely watched. Portland will be well represented in this match, and will have a team that will land well up In the column if it does not win. The team, which will eonsist of five men, will be taken from the fol lowing players and from their average, made In 54 .games, it can be seen that any one of them will be no mean op ponent for any member of the other teams. The seven men, with their aver ages, follow: C. J. McMenomy, 193; C. H, Ball, 1S2; Ed Capen, 195; P. G. Kneyse, 176; C. J. Kruse, 1S5; F. A. -Withers, 1S8; L. C. Keat ing, 175. The only teams really feared by Portland are San Francisco and Butte. Portland will bo somewhat handicapped by bowling the games on new alleys, but the men are practicing every day, and hope to overcome this difficulty by Friday night. They are all rolling big scores daily, running from 220 to 250, and will enter the contest with the feeling that they havo at least a good chance to win. Manager Keating, of the Oregon Bowl ing Alleys, is now arranging to have a special wire run into the rooms on the night of the tournament, bo lhat those In attendance can receive the returns from the other cities without delay. Under the terms of the tournament the result of each game will be telegraphed to all cities as soon as it is completed. Practically the same team chosen to represent Portland in this contest will go to Spokane to take part In the open tournament to be held there on April 24. This tournament will be entored by all the big clubs in the Northwest and will Include five-men teams, doubles and singles, and will cover the Northwest championship. The remaining games to be played in tho schedule of the Portland Tenpln League follow: Monday. April 10 Gold Leafs- va. All Stars. "Wednesday, April 12 Pin Knights vs. Bank er?. V Thursday. April 13 Gold Leafs va. Pin Knights. Monday. April 17 All Stars vs. Bankers. Wednesday, April 1& Gambrlnus vs. Gold Leafs. Thursday, April 20 Bankers ve. Pin Knights. Monday. April 24 Gold Leafs vs. All Stars. "Wednesday, April 20 Gambrlnus vs. Pin Knights. With but these few games to be played, the Gambrlnus team have the first place cinched. In last week's games the Gold Leaf team. In its-uphill fight for second place, took the Gambrlnus Into camp with two out of three scalps. On "Wednes day night the Pln-Kuights, pitted against the All-Stars, duplicated the trick of the Gold Leaf aggregation. Thursday night the Gambrlnus showed up In their usual good form, and the Bankers failed to get a look at any one of the three games played. A meeting will be held at the Port land alleys this afternoon, at which all bowlers are Invited tp attend for the purpose of appointing a committee to arrange for the Lewis and Clark tourna ments. Arrangements will also be made at this meeting for the Summer league. The Oregon alleys are fast getting Into good working shape, and from their qual ity, will be favorites this Summer. TO MEET SEATTLE ATHLETES Multnomah Club Will Send Wrest ler and Boxer io Sound City. - Edgar Frank is now awaiting a reply from Seattle before making the final de cision as to the men who will represent Multnomah In tho tournament jto be held at Seattle on April 2S. The wrestlers have already been chosen and accopted by the Seattleltes, but the sticker is on the boxer. "With Bennett out of the game, Seattle looks askance at Bottler and re fuses to put up a man to meet him; that is, they have stated that they will ac cept any man outside of Bottler. Frank, however, has written urging a reversal of the decision, and still hopes that Bottler may be accepted. Bottler is by far tho best representative that Multnomah could send up. Should Seattle still maintain her stand against this man, Frank will try to get the weights for boxing fixed at 130 or 132. "With such weights either Nicken or Dranga could go up and put up a good glove contest. Johnson will go up as a wrestler, but the local club has not yet heen advised of his opponent. Johnson la one of the club's stand-bys on the mat and will wrestle at 158. In the past he has defeat ed "Wiley, an Eastern crack, and Cornell of the Olympic Club. Frank will meet Lindsey on the mat in Seattle, so that it seems a safe bet that Multnomah will win both wrestling events. Frank has established a reputation which puts him amongst the topnotchers, and his clever ness and ability make him a formidable opponent for any man. He won the Pa cific Northwest championship In the ban tamweight class a few years ago, but now wrestles at 125. Normal School Wins Debate. MONMOUTH, Or., April 8. (Special.) One of the series of debates In the Inter collegiate Oratorical League was held here last night between McMlnnvllle Col lege and the State Normal School. The question under discussion was, "Resolved, That Reciprocity Is a Better Method of Regulating Our International Commerce Than Protectlvo Tariff." The decision was unanimous for the negative, which was held by the State Normal team. Lady Did you ever feel as though you'd like work?

TEACHES FORM JUST NOW Crew Goes Out In Shell and Has , Spill in the Willamette River, but With No Serious Result. The end of this last week found the coaching season of tho Portland Rowing Club well advanced. Dan Murphy has been kept busy with an average of five crews a day. The work so far ha3 been light. Murphy killing off any desire on the part of tho oarsmen to throw beef Into the stroke. 'He has insisted and gained his point on the men confining their work at this time to the acquirement: of form, and the week s coaching has prac tically been confined to teaching the men how to sit lnthe shell. Especial stress has been put on the finish of the stroke. Heretofore Portland has always finished well back, that Is at the finish of the stroke the shoulders were always past the perpendicular. In Murphy's stroke the finish is made with the body perfectly erect, and the teaching of this has taken up the time so far. Of course, atten tion has also been paid to tho catch and feather, as well as the other details of the stroke, and Murphy is well pleased with the general advancement shown. No crews have heen sorted out as yet, nor will any man be called upon to fill any one particular position in the crew for some time to come. Murphy's Idea of early training carries with It the con- BOWLING TEAM WHICH WILL REPRESENT stant changing of positions, so that the stroke of today may be tho number 3 man of tomorrow and the bow man is just as' apt to be called upon to go in at stroke. This Is another new feature to Portland, since in past years when tho crew wa3 made up the men were then assigned to their positions and kept them through out the season. With the continual changing, however, it enables the coach to get a better line on the men and as sure himself of just what position they can best fill. Aside from that, it gives the men a wider experience In the shell and protects the club against the loss of a man in the case or a breakdown in the crew, since it will provide substitutes for any position. Of last year's crews the stalwart and broad-shouldered senior bow, George Lu ders, is the only one to have appeared. In tho jersey this year.

This crew might be said to be the senior as compared with the others, and it chanced to fall to its lot to have the flrst spill of tho season. Last Thursday, while In the coaching shell with Murphy in the coxswain's seat and returning from tho island, the wind was sufficiently strong to roll the waves pretty high. As they neared Jones' mill the open boat began to fill. The redoubtable Dan, however, kept the crew at it and for once broke his prom ise that he would not make the boy3 work. With tho air-tight compartments removed from the shell, however, it was but a short time until she suddenly started for McGlnty's land, with Murphy still sitting In his seat, but calling on the boys to hold to the boat. As each man jumped from his seat Into the water he grabbed an outrigger and saved the shell from going down. "With the water In the shell there was no chance to pull It ashore, so the boys called to one of the lumber vessels at the mill for help. Seeing the predicament a boat manned by'sailors put off from the vessel to aid tho crew, and after being in the water for 15 min utes they were taken to shore, where the shell was emptied. Undaunted by the mishap the crew got into the shell again and pulled back to the boathouse, a cold, shivering, but still ardent lot of oarsmen, with Murphy the cheeriest of them all. "That's what you've got to look for," was his only comment. Several of the promised candidates have failed to appear yet, but this week It Is expected to have at least eight or ten crews on the river. The old stagers "Dick" Hart and Percy Stowell are again stricken with tho fever and appeared yesterday in a double as natty and spry as ever. Backed by the assurance of Murphy that they have just reached the time of life when a man Is good with the sculls, the lnuendoes of their younger brother oars men fall to ruffle the serenity of their own consciousness, and It Is In the cards that Hart and Stowell are still going to realize their life's ambition by defeat ing the Victoria men, even If It Is In a double. Military .Defeats High School. The young soldiers from the Hill Mili tary Academy took the first game of the Interscholastic Leaguo under their arm yesterday and walked away from the High School. "With only a lead" of one in PORTLAND IN THE TELEGRAPHIC CONTEST, the number of hits, the soldiers proved their fielding and playing ability by scor ing eight runs as against three. Hill's oys secured nine hits, with the High School close after them with eight, but the latter failed to get the men around the cushions. The feature o'f the game was the clever pitching of Clifford for the Military, and had it not been for two luckless errors on the part of the fielders he would have won his game with only one tally against him. Fulton of the Military, Reed, Ott and Goodell of the High School also played a good game. High School Defeats Reform, Nine. CENTRALIA. Wash., April 8. (Spe cial.)

The race was the third and last of tho series, and although Mr. Tongue came in third his average was the highest in the series and he won out. The weather and ground were all that could be desired, and the trail was one of the best with very little brush work. The cup now becomes Mr. Tongue's property.

Today's game was another stubbornly fought ten Innlngs affair, which eventually went to Los Angeles by the score of 2 to 1. The game was remarkable in many respects, chief of which was the fact that tho Angels made 11 hits and but two runs. while the Tigers got but one hit, but managed to turn that into a run. Goodwin pitched a great game for the locals, but retired in the flrst half of the ninth at his own request, because he felt his arm growing sore.
