The Giants decided to wade In and break up their losing streak this afternoon, and, although Uncle Hank sent In Jimmy Wha- len to work, It did not seem to bother the stars from Portland at all. For six Innings they did nothing but field like big leaguers. After that time they turned their attention to walloping the leather. and in the seventh and ninth they gath ered four runs, which was plenty. In the meantime Cy Ferry was pitch ing ball that would beat most any team. The Seals could hardly get a foul off him, and when they did line the leather down the grassy way some agile fielder was al ways there to grab It. In fact, San Fran cisco did not figure at all till the last round of play, when they managed to slug Ferry for a run, but fell down with three men still on the bases. The score: PORTLAND.

SLUTS" TOOK DIAMOND SO CHARGES PRETTY MUSS ROSE AT BAY CITY. Bnnelinll Uninirr Han Worn Jewel So ' Long:. That the Owner Ix Anxious. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28. "Slats" Davis, the only university graduale baseball umpire in the United States, who officiates in the Pacific Coast Jjeague, is wanted by the police on a charge of embezzlement. His accuser is pretty Miss Bee Frances Rose. To Police Judge Morgan Miss Rose told her story this morning- and the magls trate issued a complaint on her oath Thu warrant of arrest was placed In the hands of a detective. This Is the story that appealed to the magistrate "I have known Slats Intimately for a long time. He has called upon mo many times at my home, 624 Geary street. On the night of October 1 went out to dine with him at his Invl tation at Taifs. I -wore an expensive solitaire diamond pin and from th first e aeemea to be taken with the beauty of the stone. During our meal noticed that- the stone had dlsap peared and when I charged Slats with taking it, he laughed at the clever way ih which he had relieved me or the pin. I asked him to give It back, but he put me off by saying: '"Ah. wait a while, Kid. This is beauty and I would like to sport It my self for a season.' "Foolishly I permitted him to retain the Jewel and I have since been unable to get It back. This is not the first time he has taken tnings irom me, eitner. have never been. able to get any satis faction from him. He always puts me off and I have decided now to see what the courts can do toward punishing him for retaining- possession of my property." Umpire Jack McCarthy arrived from Chicago Thursday night, and will work at Recreation Park tomorrow. Slats Davis will be transferred across the bay where Jimmy Sullivan has been holding forth. It Is time that Davis was given another field. He has worked quite long- enough at Recreation Park. Davis umpiring has been of a high or- Jer, but no matter how well an umpire may do, he usually wears his welcome out after a couple of weeks and-lt is best to assign him to another field.

EITHER NELSON OB BRITT JIMMY GARDNER READY TO MEET EITHER MAN, Sny He Can Get Domt to Weight and Would Bet His Owh Money on the Side. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 2S. (Speclal.)- The announcement made by Jimmy Gard ner, through Billy Jordan, of his willing ness to meet either Nelson or Britt In the ring, caused no little comment in sporting circles today. Gardner was sweeping in his defi and generous in his offer to meet either Jimmy or the Bat tier. Gardner declared that he would not squabble over a referee and said that his opponent could pick any reputable sport ing man. "Either of them can have whoever they want. I will agree to Graney, Welclx, Jeffries, Slier or Harry Corbett, or any other reputable man," said Jimmy. "Not only that but I will make a side bet that I can beat cither one of them." Billy Jordan's announcement was vocif erously cheered, and If applause Is any gauge of public sentiment, then the pub lic of San Francisco demands that elthor Nelson or Britt fight Gardner. In places where sporting men congregate the pos sibillty of a match between GaYdnor and either Nelson or Britt was discussed with great eagerness. Gardner has a host of admirers, and .many of them believe that the Lowell boy can beat cither Nelson or Britt. At any rate, the local fight fans are eager for such a bout, and when they talk about the possible match tliej grow as excited as though the go was already assured. Sporting men who know the public pulse, when sounded on the probability of such a match, declared that it would outdraw THUGS ATTEMPT ROBBERY. Daniel Sherlock, an old man, was picked up on Grand avenue and East Clay street at 1:30 o'clock this morn ing in a semiconscious condition by Officer Nelson, who arrived on the scene- Just In time to prevent three thugs robbing him. Sherlock was badly beaten about the head and 'face. On his person was found a check for $1650 and $180 in gold. "The thugs made their escape. any of the recent fights held on the Coast. Gardner assured the public that he could make 133 pounds and be In good shape. He also said that- he would back himself with his own money against either Nel son or Britt. At present the prospects for a fight between Gardner and Nelson or Britt look good. The public wants such a fight, and, as In all other things, the public demand will have to be sat isfied. FITZ CHALLENGES O'BRIEN WANTS TO DECIDE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. Offers; Phlladelphlas Fight of 25 Round 'and Goea to New York to Tost Forfeit. CHICAGO. Oct, 25. (Special.) Bob Fitzslmmona this afternoon chullentred Philadelphia Jack O'Brien to a contest of 25 rounds to detormlne the person most entitled to hold the ohamplonshfp of tho world in the heavyweight class. Fltzsitnmons ruled Marvin Hart out of the reckoning- as a heavyweight cham pion, inasmuch as Hart had ignored the oft-repeated challenge of the veteran to meet him in the ring. Fitzcimmons says he will fight O'Brien on a winner-take-all basis or divide the purse. FitzsImmorrH leaves tonight for New York and declares he will post J 2500 forfeit as soon as he ar rives there to bind a match with Kauf mann's conqueror. COE IS "SOPH" AT MICHIGAN.

Coe, the champion shotput ter, has gotten his advanced credits straightened out, and is now a full fledged member of the sophomore literary class of the University of Michigan. Coe is in direct contrast to Ralph Rose. He is very reticent about talking of his ex ploits with the weights, and has already made a fine Impression among the stu dents because of his modesty. He will be eligible for track athletics lnext Spring. As an athlete he has won 17 gold .watches besides 287 other prizes.

RETIREMENT OF SHERIDAN Gossip of Diamond Silk O'lxnighlln on Way to California How Joo Corbctt Identified Slow Bali.- Word comes from San Francisco that Henry Harris ha stated that Spokane has boon awaraea io me x-ucinc (.dwi League, which assertion liax beon seized upon as a virtual announcement that thc Falls City Is to fall heir to the Tacoma franchise. . In spite of this statement from Uncle Henry, who probably knows more of the Intentions of the league than any other man. the city of Sacramento Is putting up a strong bid to secure the return of .their ball team, which was transferred to Tacoma In 1PW. Sacramento would prove a much better ball town than it really Is If the pro moters would erect a park In tho city, and not require the patrons of the gams to Journey five miles out of town to sec their favorite sport- 4 In the cae of Spokan it goes without question that the Eastern Washington city has It on cither Tacoma or tho Cali fornia capital In thc matter of attend ance, and io a two to one better baseball town In every sense The only drawback toward tho admls- slon of Spokane is the long jump irom one end of the circuit to tho other. Tills extra mileage in railroad fares may not prove favorable to the admission of Spo kane. Jack Sheridan, the veteran umpire, an nounced some time ago that ho Intended to retire after the 1903 season, and. still maintains this assertion. Sheridan was one of the most capable Indicator handlers In the country, and his loss will be felt by the American League. About the ime Sheridan decided to retire he was officiating in Detroit, and this was one town In the circuit In which he was decidedly unpopular, and In making his usual announcement of the batteries tho umpire Issued the following valedictory: f "Ladles and Gentlemen: This is tho farewell appearance in Detroit of Jack Sheridan as the umpire. Beforo depart ing forever I wish to thank one and all for the many cordial receptions given me here. Never will I forget your generous treatment. I leave Detroit with but one sincere regret, and that Is, the rules of the game would not permit me to accept your thousand and one kindly Invitations to come under the grandstand and get my block knocked off." That ante-climax, worked up with much tender feeling and sentiment, jarred the fanatics off their balance, A dumb, deathly silence followed the last five words of the speech. Then came a great roar of laughter, and Jack got a tre mendous burst of" applause. They never did esteem him In Detroit. In the third round he gave a ruling the home team didn't like and a voice In the bleachers howled: "We don't care If you never come back." However, the umpire had handed the crowd one. and his soul was In peace. Silk O'Loughlln, who la rated, as one of KfillTSPOKl WILL COME OUT OF THE HAT the best qmplres in the business. Is now on his way to Cajjfornla fbr the Winter. Some of O'Loughlln's friends inquired of him why It was that he passed up the chance of officiating in the world's chum pionshfp scries between the Athletics and the Giants, to which Silk replied: "You see. Jack Sheridan has been In harness long enough to make good in any series. He is as honest as the sun, and no one could question any decision he will ronder. Then It's Jack's last seuson after a life spent in the thankless position, and certainly It was only to be expected that the veteran should be honored by an appointment to officiate in the greatest series the same has over known. Base ball has never had a better umpire than Jack Sheridan, and wc arc all sorry that ho finds It necessary to give up the gama and rotire to private life." New Yorkers arc raving over ChrIsto pher Mathewson. Here Is a sketch of tho big pitcher In a local paper: "Thorc stands In the center of endeavor a tall fig ure in black broadcloth.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Oct. 2S. (Special.)

At 3:30 the big- Chemawa team trotted on to the field and a few minutes later the Oregon eleven appeared and execut ed a short signal practice. As the ref eree's whistle blew. Oregon kicked the ball to left half Paine, of Chemawa, who sped through a broken field for 40 yards and was downed by Latourette. After a Duntinsr duel. Oregon made a fair catch on the 50-yard line, and fol lowing a short gain by Kerron, Captain Latourette took the ball for a 33-yard run.

The average citizen finds It hard to un derstand how anything but dire nocosslty can drive a man to be an umpire. Of course, rather than starve to death almost any one would consent to become a butt for the bullying Jeers and Insinuations of tho blcachcrites, a target for the pop bottles, and the common enemy of ball players. But It isn t the prospect of starvation that fills the umplrical ranks, for an um pire must be a man who has brains enough to get along at some other kind of a Job If he chooses. Why he doesn't choose another more humble, but certain ly less terrifying, branch of labor. Is a mystery. There must be a peculiar fas cination about setting one's self up in opposition to tho world. League presi dents arc deluged with applications from would-be Judges of play. So far as the quantity goes, the supply Is greater than the demand. As for the quality, that Is another story. The fact remains that there are plenty of good men who seem to prefer to take their bat tle, murder and sudden death on the boll field rather than enter some quieter and safer employment. One big reason Is that a good umpire makes fair money, enough to keep him comfortable through the Winter. Even in Class A and minor leagues the Judges of play draw from $200 to $300 a month, ne- sldes their traveling expenses, anat neips a rood deal. Then there are lots of men who enjoy the position of authority, even if it is ac companied by tho rrequent antagonism of players and fans. They look upon their work as honorable, and a neaitny iovq or the game Is another inducement to keep at it. Above all things, an umpire must dc strictly on the level. Ono false move and It Is all over with him. It speaks well for the character of the men In the busi ness that an attempt to "fix" thc umpire Is rarely thought of never in tne Digger leagues.

INDIAN PLAYERS ARE STOICS. Ono AVlth Fractured Arm and Elbow and Dislocated "Wrist Never Peeped The -coaches of the Carlisle Indian School football eleven have" always found it hard tq detect Injuries to tne candi dates outside of making a physical ex ntniruitlon of -the men each day after nraetlce. The Indian footballlsts nave always proved to De stoics, xney ausiuin from speaking ot their Injuries, great or small: Some time ago there came to the Indian School A. Rednose. a Seneca Indian, from Western New York. He was In good spirits, and. upon being Interviewed by Superintendent Mercer, declared his will ingness to play football. Major Merqef noticed a slight swelling on the man's wrist and Inquired as to Its extent, and received the reply that "it didn't amounf to much." On further examination, insisted on by Major Mercer at the school's hospital. It was found that Rednose had a compound fracture of the upper arm. a smashed elbow joint and a dislocated wrist, which will probably Involve the loss of his arm and deprive Carlisle of a beefy football candidate. The man had been run over by a wagon two days before. Two weeks ago Center Kennedy dislo cated a toe. and never mentioned th fact until it was noticed by a rubber while he was dressing. "V hile known that generally spoaking the physical characteristics of thc Indian are not essentially different from those of a white man. it is a matter of note that along the lines of football redskins arc assisted in playing the great college game by a number of peculiar phases of their natural development that are not possessed by an average- college boy. , Most every Indian has flat and parallel feet. In a certain proportion of ca?as tho redskin pedal extremities are pigeon-toed, but as a rule they point straight ahead. Frank Hudson, the famous punter, who Is now coaching the aborigines on th Carlisle football eleven, has noticed this peculiarity, and says that Just before kicking a drop kick an Indian .points his body facing the goal, and inasmuch as his toes point in exactly the same direc tion gives no thought to turning hi foot, as the average white kicker would have to. Frank Mount Pleasant, who is playing quarter back, and who is a 10-second runner, jumps 23 feet 6 Inches, and punts 0 yards, has feet which are long, fiat and bunched with muscles UDon which ordi nary knocks and sprains have no effect. One of the most eminent authorities ha- stated that a pound of Indian muscle sr far as endurance and tenacity are con cerned Is worth a pound and a half o white man's muscle.
