BT W. J. PETRAIN".
Little Jesse Garrett and tall, lanky
'Tackle" Henley hooked up In the en
gWement at the Vaughn-street lot yes
terday afternoon, and when the little
chap got through with the big fellow
and his followers, they resembled a
flock of chickens rouied by a hawk.
Garrett had them on the run from the
tap of the gong and when the final
chapter was ended by a double plity
from Tom Maden to Phil Cooney, Jesse
had the best of-A 6 to 0 argument. This
evened matters up with his Texas rival
for the whitewash administered Port
land earlier In the week.
' Garrett's pitching was easily the star
feature of. the game. The diminutive
Texan was on the Job at all times, and
seemingly cared but little whether the
Seals had the sacks loaded or empty.
He worked his underhand foozler, his
side-arm break, and the famous spit
ball with equal dexterity, and the waft
ing of seven of the Seal huskies testi
fies to the effectiveness of his course.
In bending his curves too strongly on.
four occasions Garrett lost his men and
the umpire sent them to first, while
six of the visitors grabbed hits, but de
spite this attack, the crack twirler
never let up for a second. He scored a
shutout much more easily than did
Harry Sutor last Wednesday, for the
latter worked hard at every moment of
the game, while Garrett, with his
trusty smile, took things easily, espe
cially after his teammates had assault
ed "Slivers" for a quintet of aces In the
fifth.
" Casey's Long Hit Counts.
Portland tagged the scoring register
on the very first assault on Henley.
Pearl Casey was the unfeeling one who
welted a Henley offering for three
sacks, and when Kid Mohler tossed
Melchior's relay of the ball wildly to
Joe Curtis, the Portland captain dashed
over the pan. That run looked awfully
good to the faithful, and smiles of su
preme satisfaction were in evidence.
This lone tally remained as an Incen
tive to the Seals for four innings, but
In the fifth the home guard took up Its
cudgel and started In to wipe Henley
off the pitching map. The manner in
which the Reavers succeeded is told by
the score. Tom Madden, who has re
covered his batting eye with a ven
geance, started the trouble with a safe
bjngle. Jesse Garrett helped the good
work along with a bunt which Curtis
heaved badly to second, and both run
mrra were safew Henley butted Into
tile error column on Casey's bunt,
which -Ailed the bags. Bassey was
overanxious and fanned out. Not so
with Raftery, for Tom pickled one that
arooted over third base, scoring Madden
and Garrett. Ryan popped a fly to La
Longe. Cooney secured an Infield hit
which again populated the sacks.
With this contingency facing him.
Henley lost his range-flnder on Danzig,
and the big fellow's pass forced in
Casey. Then Jack Graney became the
hero, for the little pitcher had been
delegated to right field because of an
Injury to one of Johnson's Angers In
practice. Graney' pelted the first hall
pitched for a single to right, on which
Raftery and Cooney rode home. This
eaded Oie acorefest for the day.
Seals Fill Sacks.
Only : once did the Seals become
threatening; and this happened In the
seventh. 'Beek opened up with a dou
ble. La Longe secured a pass, and Cur
tis beat out an Infield hit. which filled
the . bases with ' none out. Garrett
seemed not to mind this in the least,
' for ha Immediately settled down to
business, which resulted In a quick exit
for the Seals. Henley retired by waft
ing three times. Mohler popped a little
infield fly. which was nlftily handled
by Pansfg. and Hlldobrand's high fly
to center fell into Raftery'a mitt and
the danger point was over.
The retiring of Phil Cooney on
strikes In the fourth resulted in two
error ; being ' charged to the Seals.
Cooney fouled Off sundry pitched balls,
and two of them should have been
caught, but La Longe muffed the first
one and Curtis dropped the second.
Phil ended the Seals' agony by finally
striking out.
iHlldebrand and Bassey made several
nice, catches in tha outer garden, and
Cooney and Zeider pulled off neat plays
In th. infield.
This Is Bargain Day.
Today is bargain day. for two games
may be witnessed for one admission
this afternoon. The first game will be
called at I o'clock, and Sutor will pitch
for San Francisco, while Rlnsella will
work for Portland. Willis and Graney
will be the opponents in the second
game.

pitching of Allen, the Seattle team played
rings around Butte today and won In a

ten runs, while Allen let Butte down with
three. McKune, Bennett and Frisk pulled

Decisions Are Not Influenced bf
Roasts From Grandstand or
Players, Says American
League Official. V
BT TIM HURST, AMERICAN LEAGUE
UMPIRE.
It is remarkable how many people in
the grandstand can see plays better than
the'umplre. The other day while umpir
ing a game In a certain American Leagua
city I called a ball foul. The players
did not even register a kick, out mo
bleachers raised a roar, and from the
bleachers one of the reporters took his
cue and the next morning the paper
pointed out what a difference it would
have made had I seen me pi "'e
.. v, .nintnn saw it. ouldn t
It be lovely if the umpire always o It
with the vision oi tne prejuuit .......
spectator? Then it would be tough Juck
indeed if the home club ever was beaten.
Now doesn't it Btand to reason that the
umpire etandlng directly on tne nome
plate can see whether a oau is tan ur mm
better than people ' many feet farther
away? Many Imagine thnt the frantio
howlings behind an umpire have an effect
upon him, but they do not budge him In
the lenat: he continues to give the deci
sions Just as he sees them. If some of the
people who constantly criticise tne um
pire had their own way the term of office
would be exceedingly short. Happily the
umpires have in President Johnson a man
who backs them to the letter and turns
a deaf ear to the mouthings of people
Incompetent to judge the work of his of
ficials. Best Friend of Players.
Then the players. You would think
they would have sense enouaii to appre
ciate that the umpire Is their friend,
that he is In the game to give them a
square deal. While some recognize this,
others are antnsonlstlc at the least pre
text. There Is but one thing to do with
them flKht them on their own ground.
The umpire must show that he Is the lnjs
In all things. I realize that umpires will
make mistakes, Just the same as other
people, but that gives the players no
right, however, to get nasty. I urn rl
ways op3n to reason and will listen to a
protest properly couched, but when It
comes to abuse that Is another question.
Some odd incidents happen In the career
of an umpire. Often stranae people get
in the game and act In a strange way.
For Instance, the never-to-he-forgotten
"Andy" Freedman lorded the whole thing
when he reigned on the Polo Grounds,
being so autocratic that he barred re
porters and umpires from the ground.
He had a flat-tight with one reporter who
did not report the game to his satisfac
tion, and was In a constant turmoil with
representatives of the press. Well, he
had Tom Lynch on the prescribed list
one of the beat umpires that ever lived
and Emslie also Incurred his displeasure,
and I also was a marked man.
It so happened that I whs assigned to
umpire a game on the Polo Ground?.
"Andy" was always at hand near the.
grand stand entrance to see that none hut
those agreeable to him entered the por
tals. Of course, he epled me, but he had
no Idea that I was to umpire, thinking
that I had a day off. "Now, Mr. Hurst."
said he, "we have had some trouble with
you on these grounds. Friends of yours
are enemies of mine."
Incident on Polo Grounds.
"Is that your reason for objecting to
me?" ,
"Yes."
"Too bad," said I. "If you'll tell me
one friend you have in New York, I'll
cultivate him. I think you are the best
hated man In New York."
The Baltimores were to play that day
and It was about time to get ready to
umpire, so I said, "I guess I'll quit you."
"What," said he, "are you going to
umpire today?"
"Sure thing."
"If there Is anything that is coming
our way I want It," said he.
"Well," I answered, "if I see anything
coming your way I think I'll sidetrack it."
"Pat" Tebeau, the celebrated manager
of the Clevelands. was a hard man on
the umpires. He was a strenuous worker,
and fought to the point of obstreperous
ness. Charley Zimmer was his catcher,
and there wasn't an easier man In th
huslnesto umpire for than the "Count."
Zimmer. An umpire never hud the least
trouble with him; It was always smooth
sailing. You can Imagine my astonish
ment when, one day, he started up a har
angue at some decision and became very
aggressive. I supposed he would come
to a stop, but instead he kept on and on.
Then I had my Inning, going back at him
for all that I was worth, and told him a
few things, concluding by threatening to
put him out of the game If he did not cut
it out. Well, he weakened and let up.
I never tumbled for a moment that Zim
mer had been put up by Teb'au and thu
bunch to go at me. It was all a jok'
You can imagine what a time the players
had while the altercation lusted.
Tom McCarthy Tricky Player.
Tom McCarthy, of the famous St. Louis
Browns, and afterwards with the Bostons,
Is one of the players that one could never
forget. He was full of tricks, and the
most resourceful outfielder that ever
played the game. He had no end of
nerve, and was never afraid to take a
chance. He could make some of tlui
alleged players of today open their eyes
In wonder if they saw such a game as he
put up. Here was a fielder who ba.'k d
up every base, and It was nothing unsiml
for him to go behind the catcher when
there was need. Throw? Well. I guess,
yes. He was very strong, quick and ac
curate aud always had the situation
gauged to a nicety.' Think of an out
fielder making two double plays In one
game off the same runner. I can tes
tify to that, for I umpired the game In
which It was done. Tnose, who were so
partisan that they could not appretlnie
that kind of a play, yelled, "dirty!" Im
agine a man playing "dirty" ball In Bal
timore! Yacht Fpsets in Heavy Wind.
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Aug. 1. The
pleasure yacht Linda, of Seattle, with
seven persons aboard, capsized off Chuck
anut Bay last night, and after struggling
for more than an hour in the Icy waters,
the party was picked up by the tughout
Beaver and brought to Bellingham. The
yacht was calling for South Bellingham
from the eat sound when it was struck
by a gale. Before the sails could be al
tered the craft went over and all were
goon clinging for .their lives to the hull
of the boat. The wind was In the nature
of a tornado Coming In whirling gusts
across the open stretches oi water.
