PETRAIN To pretend for one solitary Instant that they have a chance against San Fran cisco Is asinine on the part of the Port land players, at least such is the general conclusion reached by all who saw yes terday's miserable effort of McCredie's team to . stave oft another defeat San Francisco won under wraps by the score of ( to L The only mystery of the pro ceedings Is that Portland got one run. "Texas" Browning watt sent against the home team, and It now appears the only thing necessary for him to do Is to toss out his glove and the Portland team Is beaten. The McCredie squad of "near talent" managed to hit the ball quite fre quently, but whatever good may have accrued from the series of clouts was en tirely dissipated by the rankest quality of baserunning and stupidity. Any time anyone -tells you Portland has a chance for the pennant put a bet on It that the rVals will have to fall dead before the flag comes north. Poor Judgment Is Used. Manager McCredie seems to lack gen eralship in the matter of changing pitch ers. Friday he chased Carson when it was too late, and yesterday he sent Guyn to the clubhouse when that clever young pitcher was not at all to blame for the three runs scored off him In the second, for a palpable error by Ote Johnson, when a double play was almost a cinch, caused the trouble. However, Mac canned Guyn and trotted out Harkness. The speckled one got away without consider able damage until the sixth, when he gave a most edifying exhibition of how not to pitch, and San Francisco tallied thrice more. Yesterday's victory gives Browning a record of 15- straight wins, and were he to pitrh every day against Portland he could make It lflo without any trouble, Guyn's troubles started In the second. Jimmy Williams was an easy out. but Berry and McArdle hit safely between Johnson and Olson, both of whom had difficulty in moving very quickly, and Guyn filled the sacks with a pass to Frowning. Roily Zelder hit sharply to Ote Johnson, and with a made-to-order double play In front of him the pros--pecttve New York Highlander booted and Berry scored. Guyn then forced a run over with a pass to Mohler, and when Bodle flew to peas. Browning scored the third run. A pass to Ort. Breen's single, a sacrifice by Guyn and Olson's long sacrifice fly to J. Williams gave the home guard Its lone ace In Its half of the second. Harkness Goes on the Mound. Harry Melchlor opened the fourth with a single and McCredie brought his der rick Into action, substituting Harkness for Guyn. "Speck" managed to get away with his flingimr without damage until the sixth. Olson contributed a boot on McArdle's tap and Browning sacrificed. -A passed ball put Mac on third, but Harkness followed this by passing Zelder and Mohler, a most clever piece of pitch ing, which filled the bases and brought results for Frisco, Bodie came to bat and hit through the lnlitlj and likewise the outfield, taking ti.ree bases and scoring three runs on a grounder that would have resulted in naught had a little Judgment been used In playing for batsmen. The Seals play for different batters, but the Portland team does not seem to be able to acquire the knack. It must be lack of brains. With Garrett on the -sick list It Is doubtful who will pitch for Portland to day, and therefore the game ought to be another "ripe" for San Francisco, thus making good Danny Iong's boast that Ms men would capture four out of the six. Mohler will probably send Eastley against Portland. The official score of yesterdav's fiasco Is as follows: SAX FRANCISCO.

FANDOM AT RANDOM MJCRHDIB could not yelp about the umpires yesterday, for his bunch never made any kind of a slewing at alL , Ote Johnson got several hits, but not when any of them would count In the run column. Bodle's grounder should have been stopped by somebody either In the in field or In the outtield. It wasn't, how ever, and It counted some in the score. Buddy Ryan' great catch of Bodle's hard drive In the fourth was the one bright spot In the game. It was one of the greatest running catches of the sea son, and Bodie w as almost petrified when he found that Ryan had made the catch, McArdle. who Is sometimes referred to as the hitless wonder, gave the lie to this term yesterday. Mac was on the Job with his big stick on numerous, oc casions. . mart KOmA TrettV StOPS about that first sack, while his rival. Nick Williams, tiaa oaa iuch on una two occasions when he dropped thrown balls. It was the banner Saturday crowd of the season, too, and all the worse for McCredie's bunch on that account.

Gough was on the hill for the Colts and pitched line Dau au mo va.. Casey had a youngster named Ward playing first base for the Colts yester day. Kennedy must have been Injured or sick. Ward played a good game but did no batting. After Portland became too familiar with Anderson yesterday, Mike Lynch trotted out Win French, the former Portland Coast League pitcher, and Win was hit frequently also. - Aberdeen continues to keep up its repu tation for being a great club at home. The Cats beat Tacoma yesterday, making It live out of sir games so far played. A temporary let up In the siugfests held at Spokane this week occurred yesterday, and the Indians won a close and exciting game from Vancouver. . Big Bill Chenault, Casey's reliable but unlucky pitcher, is to be transferred to the Pacific Coat League club next week. .Manager McCredie has been watching the big fellow's record and thinks he will help the coasters.

(Special.) With Qough pitching fine ball all the way, Portland Colts awoke from their five-day trance and took today's game handily 7 to 3. The contest was not spectacular and Portland led easily most of the way. Of Seattle's seven hits, three were wasted in the ninth when sharp fielding prevented a Turk from reaohing second. With big Nig Anderson pitching for Seattle, Portland started right out after the game. Bassey, first up, clouted the ball over the right field fence for a home run. In the fourth with one down, Crocker singled, Fournler sacri ficed, Gough drove one past short, scoring Crocker. Bassey sent out his second hit of the game, Cooney walked filling the bases and Anderson forced In a run by walking Adams. Portland Spoils Rally.

Thirty-four cars, representing domestic and foreign manufacture, have already entered the International motor car races to be held at the new Indianapolis speedway on Au gust 19, 20 and 21, and the list is not to be closed until August 10.

READY FOR RACES AUG. 13 Built In Saucer Form on Foundation of Crushed Rock, Surface Is to Be Dustless, Affording Good Grip to Speeding . Tires. Work on the Indianapolis speedway is nearing completion and the manage ment has the assurances from the con tractors that it will be In apple-pie order for the two days' racing events to be given under the auspices of the Fed eration of American Motorcyclists on August 13-14; The speedway, when completed, will be the most unique motor course In the world. The actual work of construc tion is under the supervision of A. O. Nelson, of Philadelphia, an engineer of continental repute who has supervised the construction of several similar courses in Europe and America. The Indianapolis course has been his strongest effort During the past week a crew of 600 men has labored on night and day shifts, in the hope of finishing , the work at the earliest possible date. It Is anticipated the course will De en tirely completed and the floor allowed to dry and settle a week before the Initial races. The major portion of the workmen emnloved is kept at work on ! the 2 hi -mile, or outside, track, over which the motorcyclists will endeavor to smash all previous records. No expense or pains have been spared by the management of the unique speedway in making it the premier course for automobile and motor races. The old-fashioned "saucer-track" prin ciple has been adhered to in the con struction of the various tracks and courses connected with the speedway. The outer track is 60 feet In width on the straightaways and 60 feet on the turns. It is banked to a height of 21 feet The base of the track is inclosed by a three-foot railing, with an aux iliary or "bumper" railing extending along the upper end of the track on the bank. The "bumper" railing crowns the parapet, or three-foot em bankment at the' top of the incline, which, with its sharp declivity, protects the racer from plunging over the em bankment should his vehicle become unmanageable. The same principle of construction has been accorded to' the courses throughout Stone and tarold are the principal ingredients. After the earth has been leveled and graded Into the desired angles on the outer track. crusnea stones, compamuvo " dao .v -goose egg, were laid to a depth of five inches. Over this stratum of rock a steam-roller weighing eight tons was run several times over the course. In suring a stable foundation. Over this almost solid bed of crushed stone was applied a coating of taroid. two gal lons to the square yard, which, when dry, served to bind the bed firmly. Upon this taroid was distributed screened or pulverized rock to a depth of one inch. This served to fill the in terstices of the primary applications. After sufficient rolling by the ponder ous steam-roller, another coating of taroid was applied over the pulverized coating "of rock. The top, or outsidei coat of the ingredients is composed of miniature pebbles or stones, from which the dust has been extracted. This coating has been sprinkled entire ly over the track, and, almost devoid of dust, will afford good gripping surface for tires. The Indianapolis speedway will un doubtedly become the scene of many National events. Barney Oldfield, in his new death-inviting machine, which he has dubbed "Old Glory," for reason of its patriotic pigments, will later en deavor to smash all his former records, as well as capture those held by other speeders on this unique track.

(Special ) Jack Kipper, business partner of Jim Jeffries, is on the warpath looking for Billy Delaney's scalp In particular and In general scalps of all those who accuse Jeffries of faking. The plain statement made by the veteran trainer and echoed by others to the effect that Jeffries is "four-flushing" and will never fight John son got down deep under Kipper's skin and caused him to say a few frank words on the subject "Delaney Is knocking Jeff merely be cause Jim will not act as a meal ticket for Billy," said Kipper. "Jeff carried Delaney around the country for many months when he had no use for Delaney's services at all. Then, too, Jeffries gave Delaney hundreds of dollars merely out of the goodness of his heart. I suppose; that it made Delaney sore when Jeg dropped him and' he has been brooding over It ever since. "Another thing. Delaney never got over the fact that Jeffries refused to light Squires for him. Bill had It all planned to make a bunch of money out of the Jeffries-Squires tight Jim couldn't see where it would pay him to fight the Aus tralian, and so he refused to consider the proposition that he return to the ring at that time. "Delaney's knocking will only come back to him. Jeffries is the real cham pion of the world and he intends to re turn and fight Jack Johnson." NATIONAL LEAGUE. Won. Lnat PC .
