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

SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 7. (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.
Seattle came back strong In the
same inning, scoring three times on
bases on balls to Raymond and Ben
nett, a single by Lynch and a double
by Frisk. They were never danger
ous after that till the ninth, when Port
land spoiled their chance to rally by
catching Magee off first, after Capron
had been forced at second. Whaling hit

was put into pitch in the fifth, also

Indianapolis Speedway Will Be
Unique Course.
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.

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."
