(Special.) It was Fisher's home run, with Olson ahead of him on the bases, in the tenth inning, that won the game today for the Beavers at Recreation Park. It was the third extra-inning game of the week between the Oaks and the Portland boys, and the affair had threatened to stretch out interminably and there is no telling when it would have ended. Fisher, always a dangerous man, came to the bat with two out. The proper thing would have been a pass, but Harkins sent in one that cut the plate and the Beaver catcher straight ened it out for over the fence, the final score standing 3 to 1. x The defeat was an inglorious one for the Oaklanders, who, at least upon one occasion, in the fifth, had all the chances in the world to put the gam on ice, but through stupid base running tossed away their opening. Incredible as It may appear, the Commuters made four clean hits and were given one walk in that inning, but failed to land a man across the plate. Harkins was hit hard at times, but was accorded good support when he was in trouble. Christian showed such a tendency to lack of control that while the sixth Inning was under way he was benched in favor of Harkins. . The golden opportunity for Oakland that was not grasped came in the fifth. Swandcr started with a single to right, but was caught at second trying to stretch it into a double. Maggart put the leather 3a'ely into left and Pierce hoisted it over second. Christian's single to third should have filled the bases, but Maggart was to anxious to score that he overran third and was out on a throw to first and return. Cutshaw walked, but Wares popped to Olson. After that there was little hitting until the tenth. Olson lead off for Portland with a pass to first and was sacrificed to second by Hetling. He took third on McCredie's out and then Fisher's homerun finished the scoring. Oakland had lost heart and went out In easy fashion in the last of the same inning. The score: PORTLAND.

BITTER Unpopularity of Fighter, Now in Pink of Condition, Due to Fact That He Declines to Enter Limelight to Please Sports. ROWARDENNAN, Cal., May 21. (Spe cial.) It is very fortunate for Jim Jeffries that he is training for a prize fight instead of running for office. The nrosnects seem brieht for his being the worst roasted man whomever trained for a championship battle. Several of the Coast papers have attacked him bitterly. He has been charged iwith every thing from "framing" the Fourth of July fight to being in a panic of fear. It has been reported that he refuses to train ana that he is buried in perpetual sulks. In and about the town of Ben Lomona, where Rowardennan is located, he is about as popular as the tax collector. Village joy riders who have saved up to keep the town automobile out until near ly midnight go by his bungalow and "boo" at him. One comes to Rowar dennan expecting to find a decrepit old man being fed out of a spoon as ne, trains for the world's championship. Jefr Refuses to Be Hero. The truth is. Jeffries is training faith fully and too vigorously, if anything. He is in the pink of conaition. ills unpopularity comes from the 1 fact that Jeffries absolutely declines to be a hero. Probably no other big fighter ever trained under similar circumstances. The hotel at Rowardennan consists of a flock of bungalows scattered among the pine trees. In the most remote of these lives Jeffries. It is well understood that vis itors to the camp are to keep away from the Jeffries cottage. In its privacy he and his wife entertain their v personal friends. Very few of these friends are connected with the ring. In the family group gathered there are Mrs. Jeffries, Mrs. Jack Jeffries and Mrsi. Jack Kip per, the wife of Jim's business partner. Walter Kelly, the vaudeville actor, and Dick Adams, an old friend of the family. complete the circle. Any one mho tries to "butt In" gets a chin that will last him the rest of his life.

He has come to introduce himself to the "Champ" so he can tell the boys about it. Jeffries rises angrily from his chair and tells the Invader that his home is private. He will tolerate no rough con duct about the camp; he keeps it a fit place for women. ' About the irst thing Jeffries did when ha arrived at Rowardennan was to nave a private dining room partitioned off from the main room. Here he dines alone with the members of his family. When he is in the hand ball court, only his friends and persons whom he knows are admitted. A gate has been rigged up for the purpose of keeping out those who have come to stare. His trainers say it makes the Big One peevish to have strangers gaping and staring at him. Camera Fiends Get Glare. Sometimes in the afternoon Jeffries ap pears with a fishpole and heads for the river. The contingent of sightseers al ways takes up the trail and follows. Jim to the boat landing just in time to see him rowing away with some of his friends. Sometimes camera fiends are unable to resist the temptation of rowing after him. They get a deadly glare as punishment for disturbing the trout. With all this, Jeffries is more agree able than anyone ever - saw him before. He simply will not stand being lionized. The sporting reporters count with him about like the rest. - When they get in the way he is painfully frank about It. Several have been rebuffed in a way that has made them furious. When remonstrated with, Jeff replies that he isn't training to please the public. He is training to beat one John Arthur John eon. Any fair-minded person cannot stay a day at the Jeffries training camp and not be convinced of the injustice of many of the reports about his training not being "on the level." Jeff has a peculiar system of training In fact, no system at all tout he works very hard. His train ers fear that he will overdo it. He has arrived in condition much sooner than they expected; their problem now is to keep him on edge for.six weeks. This is so difficult that they recognize it as best to let Jeff follow- his inclinations and work as his instinct guides him. Blckleton 4; Goldendale 3. GOLDENDALE, Wash., May 21. (Spe cial.)

LOSER'S ARM IS BROKEN Blocking Swing With Elbow, Victor Brings Result That Surprises Fight Fans Memsic Shows Much Improved Form. LOS ANGELES, May 21. Lew Powell, of San Francisco, won an unexpected victory over George Memsic, of Los Angeles, at,the end of the fourth round of their scheduled 2G-round boxing con test at the Vernon arena today.. Mem tic's arm was broken in the closing seconds of . the fourth, when Powell blocked a swing with his elbow. It was found that the radius bone was fractured and Referee Eyton had no al ternative than to stop the bout and give the decision to Powell. The four rounds were even and gave promise, of interesting milling. Memsie scored a clean knockdown in the first 30 seconds' of fighting and drew first blood a little later when he rapped Powell on the lips. In the next three rounds Powell jabbed the local man frequently with his left and had the blood flowing from his nose. Memsic showed great improvement in boxing ability over his last meet ing with Powell. They met today at 135 pounds. Jim Cameron and Dick Allen, heavy weights, went 20 rounds as the cur tain raiser. Cameron got the decision. Allen, a slow 240-pounder, took an aw ful gruelling, but the colored man, who was 30 or 40 pounds. ligHiter, lacked the punch to put him out.

THUS PUC Corbett Says Big Fighter Is Really in Perfect Form for Holiday Battle. START IS MADE TO CA"MP Ex-Champion Will Join Trainers Some Time This Week John L. SuIUTan'Will Vrlte of Big Fight From Ringside. BT JAMES J. CORBETT. (Copyright, 110. by .the Tribune Company.) There's a whole lot of difference in this wofid In the manner in which people say things. And there's a whole lot more to be found and appreciated when you take trouDie to dig below the surface to find If one is speaking In a characteristic way sincere and true from the heart. Only a few weeks ago I took occasion in these columns to comment rather free ly upon a statement, two columns in length, made byiack Johnson in a New York evening paper, upon his views and the probable result of the fight with Jim Jeffries on Monday afternoon, July 4. Johnson's statement In a measure was somewhat characteristic of the man in tone, while its length may or may not have been due to some extent to the work of the writer. But as you dug into the matter you saw running through it all an absence of sound facts and reasons to support his assertions. He was going to win sure because the voodoo was work ing that way and he had the number of rounds it would take to do the Job all figured out on a similar basis. What Jeff Says of Mill. ( In the meantime, we hadn't heard a word from Jeffries, although millions of times the question had been asked as to what he thought of his ability to "come back." Now he makes this public declara tion regarding his views as to the- prob able result of the great fistic contest only seven weeks hence. He says: "I'm going to lick Johnson, sure. I may be disap pointed, but I feel It in my bones I'll win. I'm going to be like a greyhound if I have no bad luck training. At the rate I'm going, I'll go Into the ring at 213 pounds. Talk about being fast, I'll carry Johnson along at a clip that will make his head swim." Do you realize what those 64 words mean to the men who really understand Jim Jeffries? Of course, you do. And then, he adds to this the 48 words more as fol lows : i "It's no longer any effort for me to work and I know I'm soon going to be in bully shape. I wish the fight was the fourth of next month, instead of the Fourth of July. I know I could be at my best in another four weeks. How really characteristic of Jeff! Quiet. sincere, and earnest. It's an expression of confidence, which welds up from an hon est heart, and the feeling which real fighters always take with them into the square circle. And then, too, mark care fully what he says of his speed and when someone asks if you think Jeff will "come back" be ready to believe that you always doubted If be ever went. Off for Training Camp. Well, I'm on -my way and before next Sunday I -probably shall be in Jeff's train ing camp at Rowardennan and shall see and judge of the big fellow as he really is. During the six weeks I train "with Jeffries I expect to do the hardest work of my life, for when I volunteered In London three months ago to assist in his training I realized what was before me, for training with Jeffries is no child's play, you can believe. I have given every spare moment of jny time since my offer was mad; and as heartily accepted to perfecting my physical condition and at least my friends who have watched my recent work say that I am at my best. What that best may be with Jeffries means to me pimply that what little I may be able to do will assist him to defeat Johnson. If the referee should, declare Jeff the winner I shall feet well repaid for all my efforts. John L.'to Push Pencil. I see by the papers that we shall have our old friend, John L., with us at the training camps and at the. ringside, he having been engaged to write a story of the contest. Well, I shall be glad to see blm, and when he swings that famous right I'm sure he will give us something strictly "oir the level." I note, however, that In a New York morning paper Sul livan recently said in a letter from Lon don that he is sorry the match ever was made, for, while he Is not biased (in the matter of this contest, I suppose he -means), he thinks that negroes should fight in a class by themselves. Undoubt edly Sullivan Is right to some exteiiT, but this is an exceptional fight. Some of the stuff that has been set afloat by writers concerning Jeff's con dition is amusing when read in the light of private information I have received direct from the training camp at Rowar dennan. For instance, because the cam fiends have irritated the big fellow by asking him to pose for pictures when he should, go to the bath or rubbing table after the moet strenuous work, and may have been curtly treated, although they say he has never refused a picture, they say be Is peevish and III: that his face is haggard, and there is even doubt now that he will be able to enter the ring on July 4. Oorbett's Opinion of Jeff. Now listen to what I get from him. Jeff has never been in such perfect physical condition seven, weeks before any of his fights. He is rather more genial than ever; cheerful and full of boyish pranks and brimfurof confidence over the result. He- shows plenty of endurance in lils work with lots of reserve; his wind is good and no amount of work seems to tire him. Whether he should deckle to make a rushing or walking fight the re sult will be the same, for he has both speed and endurance. Jeff has everything that Johnson has. while his rugged strength entirely offsets all that Johnson claims In the finer points of boxing. I was rather In hopes that the referee would be picked at the first meeting. The idea has rather prevailed In the East that Jack Welch might be selected. I have never even discussed the matter of any man with Jeffries, but I know that he would be well satisfied with Tex Rickard, or any competent and honest official. Johnson Down to Work. Johnson seems to be getting down to real work at his training camp at Seal Rock, near. San Francisco. They say that he weighed 228 pounds when he began work and that he will scale close to 200 when he enters the 'ring to meet Jeffries. As he says he Is In good condition now. I much doubt if he weighs as much as they say, or that he will take off 28 pounds in his train ing. Seven weeks is ample time for Johnson to get into shape, for he has kept himself In good condition by his contests and is not the kind of man to tak-e on much fat He is charging t an admission fee to his gymnasium quarters, which might indicate that failure to get -the big end of the $101.- 000 purse would be offset by adopting this means of defraying his training expenses or possibly $300 a week. The effort to bring Tommy Burns and Sam Langford together in San Fran cisco September 5 for a $20,000 purse ought to be productive of a good scrap. This contest, if clinched, would seem ingly bar for a time the fight over the long route by Langford and Ketchel. As to the latter, contest, the idea seems to be gaining ground that these two men did not do their best in their Philadelphia six-round bojut, and that Langford stalled to give Ketchel a chance to make a" good showing. If this is true, it would be better, per haps, to forget them for a time. Ketch el. at any rate, ought to be given a chance to meet the winner of the Papke-Thomas fight, which would be more to his liking, probably, than an other match with Langford, who seems to be in a higher class. Comment on Ad Wolgast. So Ad Wolgast has decided that ha won't fight Harlem Tommy Murphy because when matched to fight Bat tling Nelson, Tommy gave a signed statement to a Pittsburg paper that Wolgast was a "dub " Well, a poor ex cuse is better than none. But list t ' this one: Wolgast says he. will meat Packy McFarland should the ChfcagoOB defeat Freddie Welch in England, "pro vided McFarland can weigh in at 133 pounds three hours before entering the ring, seems to me that It would be a gopd thing to throw away this weigh ing In business by men who claim to be in the tsame class. There ought to be some means of determining to what class each fighter really belongs. I hope we shall never get back to that Phila delphia lightweight class of Zeigler's days. Out West they the ministerial forces are resoluting against the "desecra tion of the Nation's great patriotic holiday" by holding the fight on July 4. Seems to me this great patriotic holiday bad something to do with scrapping. Long live those Pittsburg ministers who took Issue with the bishop who said that the coming great mill "was a barbarous relic of savage time and worse than a bullfight." and more power-to Mayor Seidel, who told the committee of clergymen that he wouldn't stop the boxing bouts in Mil waukee. WIINGED T DEFEATED CATHOLIC CLFB W1XS GAME, 3 TO I. BALL Multnomah Plays With Patched Up Team, Which Fails to Solve Clark Hedrick's Pitching. With a patched-up team. Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club was defeated by the fast Catholic Young Men's Club base ball team on Us own Held yestcrday afternoon by the score of 3 to J. The pitching of Clark Hedrick was really the cause of Multnomah's downfall for the wearers of the winged " M " failed mis erably In the pinches when any kind of a hit meant a run. Hedrick. while apparently having noth ing on the ball, fanned ten of the -Multnomah batsmen and allowed 'but five hits. Ed Morris, who opposed him on the mound, allowed only four hits. Because of the absence of Jim Twohy and Bob Twohy, at second ba?e and catcher, respectively. Parko Meyers was shifted to second base and Ed Shearer filled in at third base in the place of Meyers. Perry Austin, the well-known club football player. caught. - Parke Meyers handled 11 clianceu at second base without a boot and was the pivot man of three double plays made by his side. N j In the third inning Gleason, the first man up for the East iSirte team, hit a three bagger to center field and scored on a hit over second by Hedrick. Cat lander was out on an Infield hit and when Cass Campbell threw Leary's hit over Barton's head, Hedrick scored and Leary went to second. Meyers then caught a liner by Davis and whipped it to second In time to complete a fast double play, retiring tlie side. The other score was made in the fifth on a hit by Knippel. a sacrifice, a stolen ba?3 and an infield out.

PAPKE BARRED IX CALIFORNIA Behavior in Thomas Fight Results In Cancelled Engagements. SAN FRANCISCO, May 21. (Special.) Billy Papke has found his "faking"' Thursday night with Joe Thomas very costly. He has been barred by Califor nia fight promoters. Matchmaker Mof fitt. of the Oakland Wheelmen's Club, had arranged a 10-round bout between Papke and Montana Dan Sullivan, but be has called off the fight.
