Few of the fans left early, for they little cared how late they were for supper. All they wanted was to sea snore of that grand exhibition, and it Is to b regretted that a decision was not reached. Oakland earned a run on a couple of two baggers In the Afth Inning, and this was all Bill Steen allowed in the regula tion nine innings. Portland tied this up by Olson's base running and Perie Casey's timely hitting tn the ninth. In the 11th chapter both teamai scored another run apiece, and this double score tie was not changed during the balance of the long- drawn-cut contest. Both Lively and Steen seemed to get better aa the game progressed, and the fans were kept on edge throughout. Fifth Sees First Kan. Oakland put the first run across in the fifth inning, ewander. the nrst man up. went out on a pop fly to Fisher, but Mttse connected for a two-ply ana to left center. Lively' out did not advance the catcher, but Maggart. who haa been blttlna like a demon during this series. uncorked another double on which Jlltie tallied. Wares got an tnneld bit after thus, but Maggart could get no further than third, as Bill Hogan was retire a without difficulty, and Big 81a Steen was as steady as a clock afterwards. Portland ambled along tn a mors or Vesj amiable way until the ninth chapter arrived, for the team mads no real bid for a sroro until the last round. Osna. who waa the real hero among tho Portland players, aside from the grand pitching of Ween, waa the llrst of the Macktnen op In the nintn. ana ne worried Jack Lively Into Issuing a free ticket to flrst. "Roaring Bill" Rapps then sacrificed Olson to second, and Kleiner's out sent the shortstop to the siding at tntrH. This nut It ud to Captain Casey, and he "made good" with a corking single over Wolverton's head and Olson tied the core. Srteehan slammed out a single ana rearhed sreond when the Oaks tried to get Casey at third. Billy Speas then had a chance to be a hero and end tho game, but "heroics" were not In Billy's line, and Ms oat ended that chance to capture the contest. The 10th Inning was non-productive of results, but in tho 11th. Portland pulled a couple of erratic plays which gave Oakland a run. Cutshaw nego tiated first when Rapps dropped Steen's perfect throw, and took second on Swander's sacrifice hit. Mltxe bounced one to Casey, which the second sarker misjudged In distance. - and Cutshaw scored before the ball could be retrieved from tbe ontfleld. Disappointed Attain Were Visitors. This run looked like the game, but it was not to be. for the Beavers once more tied It up. Olson again was first man up. and he slammed a single to left field. Bill Rapps bunted and Wol verton toesed to second In the hopes of rutting off Olson, but McOreevy ruled the shortstop safe, whereupon Wolver ton objected so strenuously that Mc Grery's dignity waa sadly hurt, and In replying he told the Oakland manager thst his presence on the scena of action waa objectionable and ordered hlra to make himself scarce. Wotvertnn com plied reluctantly, and Happy Bill Hogan went tn third, while his position In ren ter field was taken by Frank Carro:l. Klsher then advanced both Olson and Rapps with a sacrifice, and Perls Caser was the timely Individual with a long fly to CarroU which sent Olson over the plate for the second run. and again the tlelna- run. Both Hteen and Lively settled down to business, though Olson again rearhed third basa In the llth Inning, but on thta occasion Flaher and Casey were on able to score him-. It was a great baaeball battle, and both teams tried bard to win out. but the work of the pitchers wss too much for the rival batsmen. This afternoon the same teams will meet tn the final game of the Oakland aeries, and Mana ger MeCredle has decided to send Venn (iregg. the great left-hander against the Oaks once more, while Harry Wol verton will depend upon Ralph Will is unless "SI km" Nelson warms up In goo J form.

Clubs Fall to Respond. Considerable correspondence ' has passed between President Andrews' and Secretary Cave In an effort to get Schwengers to give the association a definite answer immeaiateiy as wen secure some word from the various clubs as to their view In regard to sending a team south. But replies to the letters were not forthcoming. As a result. President Andrews has decided to do what he can. as chairman of the Irvington Club committee and a mem ber of the Multnomah committee, to ward sending a team, representing the two local clubs and Portland. Gorrill has decided to go south and the question now only arises who will accompany him. Wickersham Is the logical teammate and It is hoped by those behind the move that he will be aula lu Ri' j.

The latest nsws frpm English tennis circles Is that a prominent player haa been the cause of much consternation as the result of a story to the effect that he. who had hitherto been regard ed as an unimpeachable amateur, had taken the sum of 1500 to "throw" a game to another player who was anx ious for fame at any cost. On reach ing the ears of G. R. Mewburn, secre tary of the English Lawn Tennis As sociation, a thorough Investigation was ordered, the result of which will be anxiously awaited by tennis enthusi asts In this country as well as in Eng land, as It is the flrst case of "profes sionalism" which has come to the ears of the tennis world. Through a mistake In the dispatch sent out by the Associated Press from Seattle during- the recent Washington state tournament, it was stated that Sam Russell, the Washington state champion, waa defeated in an exhlblr tlon match by Miss Haxl Hotchkiss, the National, Oregon and Washington champion In woman's singles. The truth was that Miss Hotchkiss met defeat at the hands of Russell by the scores, 6-1, 6-4, but at that it was necessary for the Seattle man to call forth all his strength. Judgment and cleverness to vanquish the little tanned California miss, whose many friends In Portland will read with regret of her defeat after once reading- of her victory. The West Is still holding its own in Toung Maurice E. McLoughlln. the Cali fornia crack, runner-up In the Longwood tourney at Brookllne, Mass., where he4ost to the title-holder. National Champion Lamed, and also lost In the New York state play to C. M. Bull, Jr., has been playing a wonderfully steady game in the National championship play at Newport this last week. Following his defeat In the New York state championship play McLoughlln went after the honors In the tennis singles at Southampton. L. I., and wqn with ease from Frederick A. Colston, of Maryland, in three straight sets, 6 2, 6 1, 6 2, his success here mak ing the lad the successor of Champion W. A. Lamed. W. J. Clothier. Beals- C. Wright and H. L. Doherty. the British crack and former world's champion. His victory was' the most notable 0n by any Pacific Coast player In the East It was at the same tournament that McLoughlln, paired with Larned 'In the doubles, defeated "two of the most prom ising Western players. Thomas C Bundy and T. W. Hendricks; 8 6, 4 6, 7 5, 5 7, 6 t. Rain Aid to Westerners. Rain, fortunately for the Western players, snd unfortunately for the Eastern cracks,- has Interfered, probably seriously for some old-time players, tn the Newport National championship play this last week, and from aPPear- ances it seems that young McLoughlln will be runner-up and challenger again to W. A. Larned. the National champion. The Intense heat has been the cause largely of the Inability of McLoughlln to land at critical times in his play on his present trip East, but at Newport the rains last week cooled the atmos phere, and aided the Westerner greatly in becoming accllmalerL His perform ance Thursday in defeating R. H. Pal mer, the Ridgewood, N. Y., crack, in four 'fast sets was one long to be re membered in National tennis circles. Thomas Bundy, also of California and oftentimes mixed doubles partner with Miss Hotchkiss 4v California tourna ment play. Is still in the running and giving a good account of himself. His doubles partner, Hendricks, however, is now out of the running. Newport, on Thursday also, was given the opportunity of witnessing two com ing champions In the victory of E. N. Whitney of Harvard, over young G. M. Church of Princeton, for the National Interscholastic title In three out of four sets. S 8. 6 4, 6 4. 8 6. .-. total -of 48 games. Gustavo Touchard's vermiform ap pendix seems to have finally gotten the better of him. It was noted tn these columns three weeks ago that the California-born tennis player was suffering from a vexatious internal trouble, the cause of which has just become known. By temperament Touchard. who is Na tional Indoor champion, has been one of the most Interesting players of Na tional celebrity, for whom a great fu ture has been predicted. Even yet his admirers say that if he would eat and take care of himself he would surely have been a factor in the Newport Na tional play. - But, as a rule, Touchard Is governed by his whims. It was at the recent Longwood tourn ament that Touchard, who breakfasts on a cigarette and will eat no luncheon unless he happens to like it, "fell down" through sheer physical weak ness. Touchard Is only 22 years old, is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs only 110 pounds. He has wonderful ability as a player. If only he would accumu late a little physical strength to ex press it. Touchard Is a shining example of the warning off-repeated to the cig arette fiend. TAFT SEES AMERICANS WIX President Witnesses Defeat of Span ish Challengers. MARBLEHEAD. 'Aug. 20.

Xrom thaarouad, - AMBITIOUS SPUES' WRITE TO COfiBETT Mail Is Heavy With Letters From "Phenoms" Eager to Try for Title. "UNKNOWN" KEPT SECRET Aspirins Huskies Most Prove Their Ability Before He Can Take Theni, Says Gentleman Jim Does Not Know McLeod. BT JAMES J. CORBETT. NEW YORK. Aug-. 20. (Special.) This country can boast many a young ster ambitious to wrest the crown of pugilistic championship from the choco late brow of Jack Johnson, judging from the number of letters that have reached ma since I announoed in a re cent article in The Oregonlan that my efforts In the future would be directed toward finding- a man to bring back the title to the white race. In every mall there are communica tions from would-be champions, and If one-tenth of them are to be preperly looked after and developed we will be forced to establish a school for trainers, for there are not enough professional handlers in this big country of ours to look after the (pouting- crop of boxers. Many Want to Fight. I really did not know that we could lay claim to so many young and willing huskies. I am more thr pleased that my offer to assist any promising white man in his attempt to climb to the top has -helped to inoculate the youth of the country with the fighting spirit that makes champions, and feel greatly im pressed with the tone and sincerity of the majority of the communications that come to me. At the same time I wish to state that it absolutely is Impossible for me to take under my personal care and charge any man who aspires to the highest boxing honors until he has proved not only to his own satisfaction but to that of the public as well, that he has the ability to mount to the top, or has at least shown something that justifies his claims to meet the best man In- the game. There must be a start made in boxing as in everything else, and the beginners must prove their quality and show what metal they are made of be fore given serious consideration. Promising Men In Sight. I want to see a white man win the heavyweight championship of the world, an American preferred, of course, but by all means a white man, and will do everything in my power to help. I can not, however, personally take hold of and try to develop all the ambitious youngrsters who have written me on the subject. I now have my eye on one or two, promising boxers, men who have shown fair ability In a number of con tests and whose knowledge of the game will be put more severely to the test In the near future. If any one of these men in his next engagement demonstrates to my satis faction that he has a good chance with the more prominent heavyweights now in the limelight. I will make an offer to take him under my care with the hope that my knowledge of the art of coveted ch&mpronsMp goal. I will be ooxing win neip mm on nis way to me on the ground td watch these men and feel competent to Judge as to their merits as boxers. Guesses on "Unknown'' Wrong. The newspapers are making a great many guesses as to the identity of the "unknown" that I have under cover, but none has hit the right man up to date. I will go so far as to say that he Is one of thej men above referred to and from what he has shown me In private I am sincere In the belief that In him I have the next heavyweight champion unless Johnson should first fall victim to the skill of Lang-ford, Kaufmann, or Burns, which, to be frank, I do not think likely. Hugh Mcintosh is Willing to back my unknown agalrst the present holder of the title for $6000 or as much more as desired with the understanding that the fight be for 20 roundel or more, but I first wish to send him against one or two good men before tackling the champion. Much space has been given of late to the description of a young giant from out of the West named McLeod who is anxious to fight Johnson and who has been mentioned In the press dispatches ae "Corbett's unknown." McLeod Not Known to Corbett. He certainly is "unknown" so fsr as I am concerned and is one of the few men out of the entire bunch of - ambitious amateurs who has not written me to take him in charge. So far as height and weight will -go the young man qualifies, according to the description, but It takes) considerable more than mere size and strength to make a great fighter. My advice, if he cares for it, is to aim a little lower than Johnson the first few trials and try to fight his way until he can command attention. Numerous challenges have been directed at Johnson the last few weeks, many from men who never have had a glove on in a professional contest, but who evident ly are earnest In their desire to tackle the negro. . Also a number of freaks, who properly belong in dime museums and sideshows, are trying this method of getting their names in the papers. I understand that a number of ambi tious youngsters are after Joe Choynski to take in hand their budding talents and endeavor to make champions of the prom ising raw material. Well, they could go a great deal farther and not nnd a man more- competent than Joe to teach the art of which he was at one time one of the greatest exponents. Choynski is one of the few good boxers who has the gift of being able to Impart his knowledge to the rawest amateur. Jack's Press Agent Bats .800. Jack Johnson's press agent continues to hit .300 In the publicity league, and many are the methods adopted . to keep the colored champion's name before the peo ple. One of the latest stories sprung on an unsuspecting and helpless public is that Jack is figuring on the purchase of a home in an exclusive ejection of Brook lyn and that the residents of the locality are in a turmoil over the announcement. The price of the property Is given as 362. S00. Jack must be careless with his money, because if some of the stories are to be believed he has already spent 31,000,000 or so since the Reno fight. Another is the acceptance by Barney Oldfield of Jack's challenge to race any automobile driver In the world. Barney says that he will not draw the color line on Johnson's bank roll and will bet 35000 he can beat the negro. If It is tru that Jack is to race Oldfield It ought to be a little soft money for Barney. But When Johnson's managers, challenged they knew there was no chance of a race, aa Uut i Automobile Contest Association would put the lid down hard on sucb an affair. They are telling an amusing story around town about Johnson that emphal sixes the negro's vanity and also goes to show that he Is getting "wised up." The story runs that on his return from Rend Jack visited an Italian sculptor of this city and was so eager to have a cast of himself made that he passed several hours posing each day. Finally the sculptor sent Johnson a bill for $4000, which tho champion refused to pay. Though anxious to be reproduced in marble Jack says he thinks Ae seulptof made a mistake and has charged blm fof a dozen busts Result is, Johnson had been made defendant In a suit for ths amount. " Billy Delaney. Jack Gleason and Sam Berger are a few of the notables in sporting circles visiting in New York! lately and each has given his little talk on the subject of the Reno fight. De laney says that neither he nor Johnson had any fear as to the outcome, and that the negro was brimming over with confidence before the fight Billy may be sincere in his belief that such was the case, but If ever I saw a more anx ious or worried colored gentleman than Johnson was as he sat in his corner Just before the fight began then my memory fails me. Johnson Was Afraid of Jeff. Jack's confidence dd not show lm- presslvely until he realised that he had a man before him who was so weak hs could not strike a blow with sufficient force to hurt a welterweight The fact that Johnson a day or two before the fight insisted that the original agree ment to divide the purse 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser be changed and that the amount be split equally between the two men did not show any great confidence In his ability to defeat Jeffries. That he received 60 per cent Instead of 50 per cent for winning was becau&e Jeff would not consent to an equal di vision and wanted the original agree ment to stand. This would indicate that Jeffries was the confident one. I still believe that had the fight taken place one week before the Fourth that Jeff would have won decisively. The nervous collapse of the last few days was what killed his chances and not the confidence nor great skill of Jack Johnson. There has been a great deal said and written about the race prejudice that exists against the colored boxers of to day and of the last 20 years, and a num .ber of loveTS of the game say that Jeff ries should not have risked his title in a battle with a negro. Langrord Has "Cold Feet." They point to the record of a famous ex-champion who never would fight a colored man. and who berated, every man who believed in giving a negro a chance at the title This helps to re mind me that immediately after fhe re cent championship contest the first man to scramble through the ropes to greet Johnson as champion was no other than this former pride of pugilism. It was this- same ex-gladiator who drew the color line so tight when he was cham pion and yet he was the first man, and one of the few white men, to congratu late the negro. It's a funny world. Looks very much like a case of cold feet on the part of Sam Langford in refusing to meet Al Kaufmann at Phil adelphia last week. After the fight had been postponed one day on account of bad weather, Langford's manager, Joe Woodman, asked for an extension of one week, which was refused by the club managers and Billy Delaney, rep resenting Kaufmann. Al was reported tn superb condition and Sam may have feared a knockout, which would end any chance he might have of meeting Johnson.
