Well, in the seventh canto it looked very much as though he was going to make good, for, after shutting Tacoma out for six innings, Essick became somewhat wobbly, and with one run In and three Tigers on bases, things looked rather dubious, for even though two men were out, Happy Hogan was at bat. and this individual is known as a dangerous batsman in a pinch. Happy connected with the ball, all right, and the Tacoma rooters howled ' fnPfchorus, ; -but too soon, for they had reckoned without Harry Schlafly, who leaped in the air and pulled down Ho gan's drive with one hand, making one of the most phenomenal catches over seen on the local grounds, and pande monium broke loose. Schlafly's feat was cheered, even the Tacoma rootirs joining In the applause. Many brilliant plays were made dur ing the game. Householder, Cates, Mc Lean, Doyle, Nordyke and Graham making phenomenal catches. but Schlafly s stunt eclipsed them all, and, incidentally, he went them all one bet ter by adding another one-handed catch to his credit In the ninth. Essick pitched in splendid style from the start, and during the first half of the game young Roy Emerson held his nWn with th local man. 4 Mike's smile of confidence was chased off his visage in the eighth, when, after both teams had scored one apiece, the locals in the sixth and Tacoma in the seventh. McCredie's Giants proceeded to break up the game. It nil happened In the last half of the eighth, and the way the locals used the incubator product was a severe jolt to the King of Tacoma and his subjects. An error by Doyle, who played short in place of Truck Egan, who is on the disabled list, owing to an injured side, started trouble for the San Jose lad. Schlafly followed Mitchell with a hit. Householder went out and McLean was deliberately passed to first, filling the hags in order to get the supposed weak batters at the end of the locals' bat ting order, but Cates. Runkle and Es sick landed on Emerson for safe hits, the latter's being double, and this bunch of hits was followed by a pass to Atz, a single by McCredle and Mike Mitchells two-bagger on his second trip to the plate in the inning. The total of all these bingoes, coupled icuble-stcal 'on the parts of Hies una nuimie, wun seven tames. no wnfn I nc npn-ijinnirisr was nvpr the visiting fans were a woebegone looking lot. for the scoreboard then read: Portland.

Garvin Is still on the sick list, and French or Jones will work against Bobby Keefe this afternoon, and Mc Credie's men are anxious to make it an even break on the series.

PLAYERS NOW IN LONDON llolcombc Ward. William J. Clothier, William A. Lamed, Heals Wright and Miss Sutton to Com pete for Laurels. NEW YORK. July 1. (Special.) A supreme effort is under way this sea son to win back for America the In ternational championship of the world at lawn tennis, and with It the Davis cup. The United States National Lawn Tennis Association challenged early In the Winter for the famous trophy, and the players finally selected to repre sent America were: Holcombe Ward, of New York; William J. Clothier, of Philadelphia: William A. Larned, of Annapolis, M. D.. and Beals C. Wright, of Boston. Ward is champion of America in both slnjflM n.id doubles. Larned was cham pion in single? for. 1901 and 1902. Clothier wus runner-up at Newport in the championship tournament, both last year and the season before, while Wright holJs the National champion ship in doubles with WTard. At the end or last season, these men were official ly ranked ns the best Tour players 'in America, and there Is little doubt tnat thy are the greatest exponents of lawn ten. its in this country. If not in the world. Entirely independent of the official team, sent over by the L. S. N. L T. A.. Miss May Sutton, of Pasadena. Cal.. who won the championship of America for women last season, has made a trip to England this season, and she Is making an effort to win the English championship for women this week In the tournament at Wimbledon, a suburb or London, which began last Monday (June 26). All four of the in ternational team players are also en tered ror both singles and doubles for the English 'championships. So with Miss Sutton and the four crack men players. America is repre sented abroad this year by her cham pions In men's singles, men's doubles and women's singles. If this team cannot "lirt" the Davis cup. It seems difficult to see how a stronger one can be got together to send after them on tHe same mission. The American players nccompanieJ by -Paul Dashlel. the veteran football referee, who goes ns captain and man ager of the team, arrived In .England June 19. and began play the day after they reached London. In the open tour nament at the Queen's Club, for the WIN championships of London. Lamed was a little Indisposed after the sea. voyage and dropped out of the singles, and Clothier was beaten In his second match, but Ward and "Wright played through to the finals, beating the en tire Australian team in turn and sev eral of the strongest of the English players. Wright defaulted to Ward in the finals, in order to save their strength for the doubles, and the American champion then became the champion of London. M. J. G. Ritchie, the last holder of this title, was beat en by Ward In one of his earlier matches. Four other nations have challenged England this year for the Davis cup, and it has been arranged to play off k series of preliminary international matches to select the strongest to pit against the cupholders. When the draw for these preliminaries was made the Americans drew the Belgians for their first opponents. These first matches will be held July 8. 10 and It at the Queen's Club, London. If the Americans win. they will be paired against the French teams In the semi finals, while the Australians will meet a team of Austrlans in the other semi final. These two series will take place July 13, 14 and 15. The winners of these two series will meet In the final July 17. IS and 19, and the winners of the finals, who become the actual chal lengers for the Davis cup. will meet READY TO SERVE. the British defenders of the trophy, July 21, 22 and 24. Record of the Davis Cup. The Davis cup is a massive sliver bowl, valued at J1000v offered by Dwight. F. Davis, of St. Louis, a for mer National champion in doubles (with Ward) In 1900, wherif Davis wa"s still a student at Harvard. The trophy Is emblematic of the world's Interna tional chnmpionship. and Is a perpetual challenge trophy, to be held by ths governing body of any nation that wins lu It Is subject to challenge once-each seasoa, and when more than one challenge is received the different teams entered must play off the right to meet the holders. In 1900 the Americans beat a team of challenging Englishmen by three matches to nothing (two matches being left unplayed on account of rain). In 1901 there were no matches for the cup. but In 1902 the Americans again beat a challenging team of Britishers. Including the famous Doherty broth ers, by three matches to two. The next year. In 1903. the Doherty broth ers won the cup for England and car ried off with them, the score being four matches to one in their favor. Last season the Belgians and French challenged for the Davis cup, and thi Belgians won the preliminary series bv three matches to two, but were hope lessly outclassed In the challenge matches against the Englishmen, los ing by five matches to nothing. Under the International regulations there are five matches In each series, a majority of which Is required to win. The programme calls for two matches In singles the first day. a match In doubles the second day. and two man .matches in singles the third day. Each match Is best three-ln-flve sets. Tho teams from which the players can be selected may be of two. three or four players, nominated some time In ad vance, but the team captain is re quired to announce 24 hours before the series begins which men will play In each event.

STEAMS FAR OUT IN LAKE Gamblers on the City of Travers Bet on Races Whose Results Are Received by Wireless Telegraph. CHICAGO. July 1. (Special.) Bud White, the manager of the floating pool room of the City of Travers. was busy putting to work an additional force of clerks that he anticipated would be neces- i eary to handle the Saturday crowds On the third trip of the steamer, which has become a. legal puzzle to the state and city authorities, the sheet and card markers, cashiers and clerks were In their places long before the starting hour. 12:30 P.

"I have driven the gamblers Into the lake, and for the present must be satisfied with the results." It Is iald some of the city officials are talking of seeking to prevent the De Forest Wireless Telegraph Company from furnishing the service. The police have been urmble toselze any of the gambling paraphernalia. After the races are run every day the records are burned in the furnace in the hold of the boat, and the running tickets are thrown Into the lake. This is done before the boat reaches the three-mile limit, and the detectives are compelled to look helplessly on, having no authority to interfere. The promoters are appar ently doing a "land-office business." judg ing from the number of people who flock to the boat. TENNIS COURTS ARE READY Much Interest Manifested in Exhibi tion Games Promised.

The American athletes contesting for the "Amateur Athletic Association championships- at Stamford Bridge today took but one event, the 220-yard dash. This was won by H. A. Hyman, by three yards from Jupp, the holder of the championship, flyman's time being 22 2-5 seconds. The usual form of the Americans was conceded to equal that of any of the. competitors, but hard luck appeared to be their lot. Amsler. who easily won his heat in the hurdles, met the English champion. R.S. Stronach.

Taylor appeared to have the race at his mercy, but he tripped when near home and lost a couple of strides and the race. Hyman's victory was very popular, and he was given a great reception when he received his prize. ACTORS AND REHEARSALS Amount of Work That Must Be Done for Nothing.

One manager does, we be lieve, pay half-salaries after the third week. That seems generous; probably fourth-salaries would be regarded as sufficient. One result of some such ar rangement would be that, for the sake of the management, the rehearsals would bo compressed within a shoter period of time, and would be less casually conduct ed than Is sometimes the case at present; and that, too, would be a benefit all around. There are, of course, difficulties in the way. and cons as well as proa In this as well as in every other proposed reform; but It should not be Impossible for our theatrical managers whose gen eral good-will to their company is beyond all doubt to arrive at some buslness-Uke compromise in the matter.

Judge Torrence In tho Superior Court to day handed down a decision declaring the Initiative and referendum unconstitu tional. Unless reversed In a. higher court, and an appeal Is not likely, this decision invalidates the ordinance compelling the Temoval of saloon screens and that com pelling saloons to close on Sunday.
