CRISIS IS AT
Portland to Make Supreme Ef

WILL OPEN WITH OAKLAND
Fire Straight Weeks on Local Dia
mond Will Probably Determine
Beavers' Chances for Reach
ing Top of Ladder.
BT W. J. PETRA1N.
Next Tuesday afternoon. on the
Vaughn-Btreet grounds, the crucial series
of the baseball season of 1908 will be
Inaugurated by the Portland ball-toseers
with the Oakland club as the opposing
faction.
On that day a series of five straight
weeks on the home lot will be started
by the McCredle troupe, and at its con
clusion all doubt of Portland's chances
of winning or losing the pennant will
have been dispelled.
It is this series during which Portland
will meet Los Angeles and Oakland, while
Ban Francisco, the bane of the McCredle
clique, comes North but once. After the
Inaugural series with Oakland, Portland
gets Los Angeles for a two weeks' series,
which will include something like 17
games in 13 days. Labor day is the
cause of the extension, for, coming as it
does, on a Monday, the league has ar
ranged for continuous playing by the
visitors-, Instead of breaking up the sec
ond week by a Journey to the Southland
In midweek.
The series next week will be marked by
a double-header next Sunday, and it is
Trobab! that all of the holiday games
hereafter will consist of double-headers,
because of the large number of post
poned games held here last Spring.
Th opening affair with Oakland is
sure to prove a most Interesting series.
This is so not only because Oakland has
always managed to make a firm stand
against McCredle's contingent, but be
cause Manager McCredle will likely in
troduce a couple of new slab artists to
the hungry home guard.
Pitchers Rose and Patrick, the former
fcavins already made his inaugural ap
pearance before the California fans, will
bow before the shouts of the Portland
fans for the first time next Tuesday.
In a measure the future of the Port
land club depends upon the newly ac
quired pitching talent, for McCredle will
undoubtedly use them to a greater or a
lesser extent. In the event that they
are worked regularly, because of the
many double-headers, it will soon be
demonstrated whether they are of the
caliber suitable to Pacific Coast League
ball. Groom. Garrett. Graney and Kln
sella will naturally swing in line for reg
ular turns at Blabbing it and will con
tinue to be the mainstays in the pitch
ing department Just as they have been
during the early days of the season, but.
In spite of their reliability, the work of
the newcomers will have considerable
bearing upon the result.
The Oakland club, despite its ignomin
ious position in the pennant scrap. Is a
team that Is at all times dangerous. Just
why this team, which always plays so
trongly against Portland, has not won
many mores games from San Francisco
etad Los Angeles la Inexplicable, and Is
one of the reasons why the fans have be
gun to ask questions as to fair play
being existent in the Pacific Coast League
with three California towns arrayed
against Portland in a tussle for baseball
supremacy.
Oakland's showing against the other
California towns, together with J. Cal
Ewing's vainglorious threats of his In
tention of abolishing a supposed evil in
Portland, which is a glaring affair at
San Francisco, has served to create an
antipathy toward the present conditions,
and Portland demands a change next
season. Seattle and Tacoma will have
to be included in the Pacific Coast League
then or the present popularity enjoyed
by the magnates will be on the wane.
Mr. Ewlng came to Portland a short
time ago and proceeded to lecture the
Portland fans about the gambling evil.
He threatened all sorts of dire things,
but so far has not made good on any of
them. Before he starts on Portland, it
would be well for him to pay a little at
tention to the existing conditions at his
own San Francisco baseball park, where
the evils of both gambling and drinking
are publicly flaunted before the patrons
of the game. Portland is freer from the
evils he named than is any town in the
circuit.
In any event, the doings of the presi
dent of the league are of but very little
interest among the majority of the fans,
and as long as the teams play good base
ball, baseball that is free from the sem
blance of being a fixed proposition, the
gates will be liberally patronised and the
sport enjoyed to the utmost. Here's
hoping Jhat Portland achieves great suc
cess during the next five weeks.
Asbestos Plant la Burned.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22. The lower har
bor was lighted up early this morning by
a fire which destroyed the asbestos dry
ing plant, the largest building of the H.
W. Johns-Manville Company, South
Brooklyn. Four alarms brought the fire
companies within a radius of three miles
and a fleet of fireboats. The fire was
under control after an hour's fight. The
loss is estimated at 2150,000. The burned
building was a five-story brick structure
at the east end of a row of a half-dozen
others. By quick work the firemen saved
the palntshop. a three-story wooden af
fair, adjoining the burning building.
RECOVERS PART OF GEMS
Mrs. Seaman Finds $6000 Worth of
Jewels In Pawnshop.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22. Mrs. Bessie
Seaman, who was victimized in Reno,
Nev., about a year ago by the famous
diamond thief, J. Edward Boeck, now
serving a sentence in Sing Sing prison,
and lost $50,000 worth of Jewelry, yester
day recovered a part of her property
from local pawnshops and has located
others. The amount recovered is about
16000.
Mrs. Seaman met Boeck, or Burke, as
he called himself then, in this city and
later at Reno. At the latter place he en
gaged a safety deposit box for her. as she
had the Jewels with her, and on the plea
that he had valuables of his own to pro
tect, asked ,and received the right to
share the box. In February Mrs. Seaman
went to get her Jewels and found them
gone.
Boeck was arrested here, but being
Identified as a thief, wanted In New York,
was extradited. From pawn tickets found
on his person, Mrs. Seaman located her
property.
Loomis Going: to Japan.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 22. Francis B.
Loomis, of Ohio, United States Commis
sioner to the World's Exposition to be
held in Japan in 1912. has arrived in this
city on his way to Japan to make pre
liminary arrangements for the American
exhibit. He expects to return in Novem
ber. Mr. Loomis yesterday was the guest
of Senator Perkins at a reception in his
honor and which was attended by many
representative men of the state.
10 RING BATTLES
Fight Fans Anxiously Await
Bouts in California,
ANOTHER NELSON-GANS GO
Attell-Moran Encounter Is Also Ob
ject of Much Speculation ajid Will
Doubtless Be Best Exhibi
tion of Two. .
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
' One week from tomorrow is Labor day,
and two days thereafter occurs what is
known as Admission day in California.
The bare mention of these dates has no
particular significance to the average
person, but In the world of sportdom
they are looked forward to with more or
less anxiety.
The primary cause of this anxiety
among thousands of our population is the
fact that on Labor day Abe Attell and
Owen Moran meet at the great game of
fisticuffs for the second time, while on
Admission day Battling Nelson, the newly-created
lightweight champion, and Joe
Gans will hook up for the third time.
Both battles are attracting widespread
attention In sportdom, and the wise ones
are already seeking an opportunity to
wager all of their spare coin, left from
the Summer vacation, upon the chances
of their favorite contestants being able
to knock out his antagonist.
The frequency with which the latter
day pugs arrange for return matches al
most immediately after the conclusion
of a battle hardly gives the losing bettor
a chance to accumulate enough money
to get "even" on the next fight. But
as long as the San Francisco sporting
public coughs up its coin at the box
office to witness the bouts, the promoters
care little whether the "stung" admirers
of a loser get their money back or. not.
Joe Gans, while he occupied the pedes
tal and careered about the country as
the unbeatable, succeeded in deluding a
large percentage of the betting publlo
into the belief that he was the candy
article and that nothing short of a thun
derbolt could possibly melt him. There
fore, when the wily Baltlmorean wilted
under the bulldog tactics of the erstwhile
despised Battling Nelson several months
ago, the same thousands of admirers of
the colored lad were badly stung. On
this account, the same admirers of the
dusky one, who have retained their faith
in his prowess, despite the poor showing
he made, have decided that the coming
melee is the long-expected opportunity
of clearing handsomely and thereby re
trieving the fortunes lately lost.
It does not seem to have occurred to
these deluded persons that the erstwhile
champion may be really down and out.
In fact, were Joe Gans himself to tell
them that he hadn't a chance in the
world against Nelson, they would prob
ably back him Just the same, and it
would take a dozen - defeats to convince
them that Gans is a has-been. It is quite
likely that they will have a dozen fights
In the future, for so far there has been
no inclination on the part of the Cali
fornia fight promoters to Introduce new
talent.
The Attell-Moran Imbroglio will prob
ably prove the most agreeable affair of
the two, as both contestants have so far
been free from the stain of faking and
are believed to be honest In their en
deavors to please the lovers of the gam.
in their engagement one queer feature Is
noticeable, and that is that 23 rounds
will be the limit. Just why the 'va-

moose" number was selected as -the limit
of the engagement does not seem quite
clear, although this is only one of the
queer things connected with fisticuffs in
the land of the temblors, and occasional
sunshine. The scrap might Just as well
have been permitted for 25 rounds, or
even limited to 20. As the Gans-Nelson
affair is slated for 46 periods, it is possi
ble that the promoters did not care to
gtve the patrons too much at a time, for
the other scrap Is scheduled for Septem
ber 9, two days later.
But, to get back at the original sub
ject, the betting gentry will have its
fling at the game of chance furnished by
the coming scraps. Those who pick tne
dead ones will have to stand their losses,
while the winners will celebrate in the
usual manner. To give advice on the
subject Is a thankless task, for it is a
hard matter to convince a full-fledged
sport that his Judgment is wrong, at
least until after the returns have been
received. In the event of having picked
a loser, the wise guy immediately an
nounces that the scrap was not on its
merits and either wants his monay back
or declares emphatically that the con
miornr of his Idol cannot do it asaln.
