Sixteen Innings of flerrely-fought base
ball and the im called at the end of
that time with the arore tied. t-X marked
a battle between Pitchers Bill Steen for
Portland, and Jack Lively for Oakland,
yesterday. 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. Testerday"e score:

Expected Happens at Last.
At last the expected has happened.
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

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

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.

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.
