TACOMA, Wash., July 15. (Special.)
With great ease Corbett turned the trick
of shutting out the Tigers on their home
grounds. This Is the third time this year
It has been done, Whalen and Garvin
sharing in the honor. Of the present
series, each team has won two, Corbett
both for his team. In the defeats here,
Portland has been shut out by Thomas
and Keefe. Tonight both teams leave for
Portland, to begin a series of eight games.
Atz played a great game today, fielding
in a sensational manner and cutting off
Beveral drives that looked safe. The field
was sloppy, and the last three Innings
were played In the rain. In spite of this,
the error column is lean, the only fumble
being on a foul fly by Runkle. Fitzger
ald was a trifle wild, and the Giants
bunched hits on him.
In the second, McLean hit, Runkle flew
out, and Corbett was passed. Jones rorcea
Corbett at second and then stole second.
Paul's two-bagger to right scored both
runners. In the fifth, Atz, Van Buren
and Householder each hit for a base,
scoring the former. In the seventh, Nor
dyke hit for two bases, and took third on
Lynch's out. McLaughlin was unable to
bring him in. In the eighth, Casey sin
gled, Graham, batting for Fitzgerald, hit
ono to Atz, who, by a great burst of
speed, cut the runner oft at first. Doyle
placed one In the same place, and Atz
again prevented a score by his fast worK.

SULLIVAN IS -ALSO BUSY
Preparations for 31111 Between the
Two Lightweights Goes on
Steadily Despite Torrid
Weather In California.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 15.-(SpeciaL-
Tho rigors of hard training in waxia
weather and the possibilities of defeat
have been known to depress many a fel
low who earns his living in a 24-foot ring
by swatting his fellow-humane, but Kid
Sullivan and Jimmy Brltt are not In that
class. Neither boxer needs a corps of
high-strung comedians to keep them Jn
good humor these hot July days, and
when the rival lightweights are not doing
monotonous road running or exercising
their several fighting muscles In the gym
nasiums at their respective training
camps, they arc as full ot fun as a band of
schoolboys at recess time.
Yesterday Jimmy Brltt took a brisk run
on the road in the early morning; and In
the afternoon he exercised for an hour
and five minutes In his gymnasium at the
ocean beach. Brltt Is doing a heap ot
shadow boxing for his go with Sullivan,
for he believes be will have to be fast
and strong of leg to skip harmlessly out
of range of the kid's rushes, and he also
does a whole lot of wrestling and tugging
with Tiv Krellng to strengthen his arms
and body for a siege of rough boxing, in
case he is called upon to furnish that
style of warfare. Jimmy Brltt has many
visitors at his training place, and he
treats them all very cordially.
Over San Rafael way. where Kid Sul
livan Is putting in his hard licks, the
warm spell has brought Al Herford'a box
er to within one pound of the prescribed
weight, 133 pounds at 6 P. M. Like Brltt.
Sullivan does his eight-mile spin before
the sun Is very high, and he enjoys tbeso
early morning jaunts. This lad Sullivan
reminds one a great deal of Kid Lavlgne
on the road; he does his work fast all the
way, covering the distance In a trifle
more than an hour. The kid, too. likes
shadow boxing for leg exercise, and he
Is doing plenty ot It, and much faster
than most boxers. The little fellow ar
gues that to develop speed the work must
be done In a spurt air the way. and his
argument is entirely correct. His other
work consists of the usual exercises most
boxers follow while training, and he takes
kindly to it, and goes through his stunts
without a murmur.
One thing that Is plainly visible Is Sul
livan's quiet, reserved manner while the
gymnasium was filled with spectators, and
It was also noticed how chock full, of
frolic he was as soon as he was alone
with his trainers a sure sign that he
likes the heavy swatting in a ring en
counter, and it also shows him to have
had good pugilistic breeding and to be in
good condition.
Of all the clever things that Jimmy
Brltt has done since he entered the
ring as a professional, the beat "was
when he threw Battling Nelson and Tils
fake-crying manager. Billy Nolan.
down. Had Nelson had anyone else
managing his affairs, he would have
met Britt this month Instead ot Kid
Sullivan.

In the International tournament all ot

3fay Reorganize Hlflc Clab.
Prospects are exceedingly bright for
the reorganisation of the Portland Rifle
Club upon a raore liberal basis, so far as
membership is concerned, and with that
object in view, it Is probable a meeting
will soon be called te consider tbe ques
tion of adopting- measures of arousing in
creased Interest In target practice among
local riflemen.
There seems -to be plenty of material
hereabouts for the formation: of a club
with a large-active membership, and the
organization now In. existence is pos
sessed of an excellent range near the
park reservoir, the most serious objec
tion to which Is Its lack of .accessibility
from down-town points.
Only a few members of the club are
regular patrons of the butts at present,
hut It Is thought that a "little agitation of
the subject will have a very wholesome
effect In that direction.

Game Requires Careful Study

ESTS STAYING POWERS
Tboaghtf ul Exponents of the Sport

Br "RACQUET."
To the uninitiated, the game of tennis is
apt to be placed on a level with battledore
and shuttlecock, or, what Is even more
likely, it Is frequently thought ot as a
quiet, restful pastime like croquet.
To play a good game ot tennis- has
meant to jnany that the player must
know all about the latest styles In
clothes, he must have his tennis suit-and
hisi tennis cap. his belt, shoes and ties
all to match, and a slight inconsistency
In the' dress was to bo ignorant of the
fundamental principles of the game.
This condition has existed principally
because It la a game which has never ap
pealed to the masses. The expense at
tached to a season's play, together with
the fact that tennis is not nearly so In
teresting a game to watch as some others.
has been responsible for the fact that the
masses have relied on baseball rather
than tennis. One could hardly imagine a
more disgusted man than the up-to-date
tennis player who might be told that he
would play a good game at battledore
and shuttlecock, for of all the games
which will admit of the exercising of
every known quality ot athletic skill or
learning, tennis is without a peer.
lou are your own master, and the
world Is ready for you to conquer. If
you play baseball consistently you must
have others who are as ambitious to
learn and Improve as yourself- the same
Is true of football. Even In whist you
must have a good partner before you can
get the full enjoyment due you. The only
game fit to be compared with tennis Is
chess. This comparison, you understand.
Is made only for tbe benefit of the man
who uses his head as well as his muscles.
The tennis player Is master of the whole
situation: so Is the chess man. Watch a
cool, consistent tennis player lead his
opponent tip to the net. then throw the
ball high In the air, then a drive to the
side, then to the other side, and almost
before you know It he is standing at the
net with his opponent far out of position.
and any kind of a decent phot will mean
that you have his king "mated."
Watch a thoughtful tennis player pick
his opponent's game to pieces: see how
he files at his throat when the slightest
opportunity is offered. You who play
tennis know bow helpless you feel when
you have run to tbe net on a. short re
turn or when your lob has fallen short.
Just so on the chessboard, for when your
fingers have been taken from the knight
and you see your dreadful blunder, you
feel exactly the some way as your tennis
brother who has made his mistake In
playing chess did you never look your
opponent straight in the eye and wonder.
wonder, wonder what he was up to?"
Haven't you at times dropped right onto
his combination even before it was clear
ly established In his own mind, and sim
ply routed bis forces because you studied
his game and found out what he was try
ing to do?
That's what you should do when you
play tennis. You may be a wonderful
player along some lines, but if you don't
fit your game to the need as presented
by your opponent, you will no doubt be
beaten.
As an athletic game, tennis Is again not
given its due. The last three matches in
the Oregon state tournament will go down
to history In the Oregon calendar as
being tbe hardest battles In any tourna
ment yet played In the state.
Baseball Is nothing; football at best can
last for but two 2S-mlnute halves: hand
ball Is somewhat worse, but outside of
prize-fighting, the tennis player must be
prepared to take the severest strain of all.
The rules governing a championship
match allow ljut six minutes rest in a
game mat may xaxo inree Hours to piay,
and many tmies in the hot August sun.
For a test of endurance, the tennis player
can be classed, with the oarsman, tbe bi
cycle rider, tbe football player and the
pugilist: on the other hand, the game can
be made as easy as you like, and If cro
quet is your standard for speed, you can
very easily slow down the ball.
A short time ago. one of the best play
ers on the Coast and a man of wonderful
physique was asked. "Why don't you go
to the net" His reply was. "Because I
have not the time to go into training
for so strenuous a game.
five sets ot nard tennis with a man
of your own caliber ought to satisfy the
strongest athlete in the land.
During the past ten years the- game has
taken on a new style of play. With fuller
development and greater skill came the

smashed almost from the back line aad
who served the troublesome twist balls.
Volleying.
To make a good yolleyer. one mast have
nerve. He must like to see the returns
come fast, he must feel the fire and en
thusiasm that comes when the ball plants
itself In the center of his racket, and
with a resounding ring Is retursed with
greater speed than ever. He must never
back out. but hang to his position. Blast
Ing himself before the set like a stoae
wall, ready to take anything and every
thing, no matter bow hard they come er
how far he has to reach. The secret of
it all Is this: Give depth to yoar game
You may be a good volleyer. but it will
avail you nothing unless you make your
returns deep. To take a bard ball before
It touches the ground requires a great
deal ot resistance and oftentimes much
strength. The heavier the racket, the less
win he tee strain on the wrist: The vei
leyer must at all times grip his racket
with great strength and flreness.

Big AVrcstler Aspires to Relinquish
3Iat, and Fight Hart.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 15. (Special.)
Wrestler Frank Gotch Is now ready to
fight Marvin Hart for the heavy-weight
championship. When Jeffries was the
ruler ot the arena, Gotch was contented
to mind his own knitting, so to speak;
but now that Jeffries has deserted the
limelight, he Is willing to take a chance
with his successor. Gotch made the fol
lowing statement to George Slier last
week:
I have seen Marvin in action, and am
forced to admit I was not seriously im
pressed with his work. He is big and
husky enough for a champion, and I pre
sume capable of taking considerable pun
Ishment. out do pot believe he has any
thing on me. outside of science and ex
perience. I think I could outrough. him
and by so doing weaken him to such an
extent he would not be bard to beat-
that Is, provided he docs not put me away
early In the fight. I am In earnest in thi3
affair, and, with big Jeff out of the way.
I consider I have an excellent chance of
becoming the heavy-weight champion. Of
course, I will have to get some pointers on
the fine points of the game, but only
enough to take off the rough edges. I
have had the fighting game In mind for
several years, but. knowing I stood no
chance to beat Jeffries, I passed it up and
stuck to wrestling. Now, however, that
the big fellow is out of the running, and

EIGHT CLUB LEAGUE
Spokane and Sacramento May
Come Into Game.
WOULD ADD TO INTEREST
Prospects for Local Team Are Not
Br!ght, With So 3Iany of the
3Ien on Portland's List
Being Crippled.
Speculation is Indulged in by the fans
of late as to the formation of the base
ball league for next season. All kinds
of rumors are In circulation; some have"
it that the- old Lucas league four-club
circuit -will be In evidence In 1905. while
other wise ones claim an eight-club
league, which will include Butte and an
other Montana town. Seattle. Tacoma,
Spokane. Portland and two other towns
in the Northwest. All speculation that
excludes tho California towns is wide of
the mark, according- to W. W. McCredle
and -his nephew, Walter McCredle, pres
ident and manager respectively of the
local club, who claim that the California
magnates are far from desirous of giving
up the northern part of the present cir
cuit, and are planning a league for .next
season that will prove a. money-maker.
The new circuit will include four towns
in the north and an equal number In
California, thereby, forming an eight-club
league, the towns to be represented being
Portland, Seattle. Tacoma and Spokane
In the north, while San' Francisco, Los
Angeles. Oakland and another town, prob
ably Sacramento, will compose the south
ern end ofthe circuit.
A league of this kind should prove a
profitable one. for heretofore the princi
pal Item ot expense has been the con
sumption ot the receipts in railway fares
to and from. California. With an eight
club circuit, at least, two trips from, the
upper end of the circuit to the lower, and
vice versa, would be eliminated, thereby
saving each rtub a considerably sum
which has heretofore been disbursed to
the railway companies.
Another feature of this circuit Is that
it will produce a greater number of new
faces on the local diamond, and do away
with stretches of two and three weeks
between the same clubs, which proves
monotonous, as did that four or five-week
series between Seattle and Tacoma a year
ago.
Next season the Oakland club will have
a ball park in the city, instead of three
miles from the center of town, as the
present park at that place is situated.
Oakland Is a large enough place to sup
port a baseball club, and there Is no
question that It will do so, providing the
games are played In a convenient locality.
The addition of Spokane will undoubt
edly prove .a profitable move, for the city
Is one of tlie best baseball towns In the
Northwest, and is rated by some mag
nates as being a better town for the
National game than Seattle, and is, with
out any question, a better ball town, than
Tacoma.
With a man like Charlie Graham at the
helm in Sacramento, it Is believed that
that place would support a club In a
fairly creditable manner. At any rate,
one or two weak towns are always in
every baseball league, and the new cir
cuit should prove a profitable one, even
though Tacoma. and Sacramento turn out
to be weak sisters. There Is always a
chance that a dead town one year may
take a brace the next, and this may be
proved by Tacoma, for that town may
turn out and support the Tigers in. the
new circuit 'In ' as loyal a fashion as It
did Its team or 1502, when it made money
for the backers of Jay Andrews' team.

Getting down to the present situation,
tho prospects of the local team are not of
the brightest, for a large percentage of
the players are on the disabled list. Dur
ing the past week Mitchell. McCredle.
Garvin, French, McLean, Schlafly and
Van Buren have been crippled, and. in the
cases of the four first named, their in
juries have kept them out of the game.
Garvin and French have been out ot
the game for more than a month, and
are expected to rejoin the team on Its
return this morning.
In the case ot French it seems as
though It were about time he was giving
tho management the benefit of his serv
ices, for he has been with the club all
season and has participated in but very
few games. He came out here with the
reputation of being a crack pitcher, but
so far has shown nothing but a disposi
tion to sulk. Now that the team is in
sore need of all its available talent, it is
up to French, who Is. undoubtedly capa
ble enough, to get In the game and help
out Corbett. Essick. Jones and Cates,
who are being overworked.
Garvin wrote Manager McCredle from
the springs, where he Is getting into
shape, that, he would be on hand and
ready to pitch when the team returns
home, which Is welcome news to the man
ager and the fans as well, for the big
pitcher Is one of the most popular men
on the club, and if French can .be in
duced to do his share' of the work, he
also may become a popular idol. Other
wise he is a dead ope in the eyes ot the
fans, who will not stand for a quitter,
as' has been shown by the dise3teem in
which they held players of this caliber
in the past.
Russ Hall has finally landed one of the.
men he has been after for several months.
The new man on the Slwash payroll is
Outfielder Jim Hart, ot Louisville, who
Jumped Tebeau's club to play In the
Pennsylvania outlaw league. Hall se
cured him by purchasing his release from
Louisville. This Is the same Hart whom
Sammy VIgneux, tried to secure to play
first for Portland in 1968. when "Pull-'em-up"
Shaffer turned out to be a frost.
-"Doc" Newton Is wkh tbe New York
American club on its Westers trip, and
will be seen in the box before many days.
A dispatch says that the big- southpaw
is fast regaining his wonderful Burst of
speed when he bad when he pitched for
Los Angeles. Last Winter he had a leag
siege, ot sickness, and it left blm weak
and badly run down. He Joined Griffiths'
team for Spring practice, but Newton
fopad it imposisbre to put himself in
