In baseball since I drew my first par

Buck Keith, well-known Portland
baseball umpire, tells one that had an
almost Identical reproduction In the
Spokane-Portland series a week ago.
Buck was umpiring In the Three-I
League that season. "Red" Wright,
later with the Oakland dub, was la the
box. when the baiter soused one of
those mile-a-mlnute liners straight at
the pitcher. The ball hit Wright
squarely on the temple and then
bounced over Into the third baseman's
hand.
Local Instance Recalled.
The local instance Is recorded In the
ai-rount of the Portland-Spokane game
of June 13. when Casey, of the Road
sters, bounced one oft Pitcher Vlo
llnlv's anatomy Into Third Baseman
Nrtzrl's mitt. Umpire Longanecker
railed Cany safe, hut later, when
Captain ostdiek. of the Spokane club,
notified the official scorer of a protest,
lmganerker reversed his decision and
Citsey was forced to beat It back to
the bench.
"I've got one that beats "em all." de
clared Mike Lynch, the fighting man
ager of the Tacoma tribe. "This, the
queerest double play ever made, took
place In 1907 during the Taeoma-po-kan
aeries at Spokane. A ball was
hit between left and renterflelds and
Jark Clynes. left fielder, and I both
went after It on the Jump, both yelling
mine."
"Well, he beat me to that ball by
Just six Inches and the way we cam
together'would make two railroad, lo
comotives recoil with envy. Clynes
dropped to the sward, clean out. d.-ad
to the world, but he had that ball
clenched In his right fist, as If In a
vise. I Jumped to my feet as quickly
as I could, wrenched the ball from hint
and threw to third for a beautiful dou
ble pLiy on Terry McKune. Jack Dren
nan. now a resident of Portland, um
pired the game. We had to carry
Clynes off the field"
Clynes la with BUI Carney In the
Rock Island club In the Three-!
League this year. He led the Western
Canada circuit In clouting during 1M0.
Nick Williams tells a good one on a
"rookie" who applied for a Job with
the Roadsters a few weeks ago. His
exprl'n-e had been mainly on his
home town lots.
"Can you hit?" one of the boys asked
hlra.
-Teh." he replied. "I kin hit. I never
git leen'n one hit er game. One day I
got IS hits In one game and five of 'em
was safe."
For nerve of the unadulterated char
acter, however. Jeker Baamgarten.
who Is) umpiring the Tacoma-Portland
series, has J. Rufus Walltngford tied
to the footrall. Jakey used to be a
tighter around Pan Francisco, they say.
He also mixed In baseball, announcing
Coast League games, catching In the
various amateur leagues around the
bay and generally managing to get
Into the public eye at least once or
twice every week.
Baiungarten I Angry.
There's Just one fellow I want to

muttered Jakey yesterday. "That's thla
man Warren wbo was let out by Ta
coma. Warren went back to dan Fran

during my umpire work In Tacoma otle
day I called a ball on a batter and.
when several In the grandstand

by saying:
" 'Pardon me. ladies and gentlemen,

-It's a lie. I never bowed at alt.

A friend sent Jakey a clipping from

Baskets Laden.
BT W. J. PETRAIN-.
Exceptionally fine fishing Is reported
generally by the many hundreds of
anglers who find time to visit nearby
streams In pursuit of their favorite
sport. There are many streams, rivers
and creeks In the immediate vicinity
of Portland which fairly teem ' with
trout and other game fish.
J. E. Culllson, Maurice Abrahams.
Dick Carlon and Dr. Day, and their
guest, Clarence Hatght of San Fran
cisco, have Just completed a success
ful trip to the Mackenzie River, where
they enjoyed four days of fine fishing.
This party had attended the sport
of the Paclflo Coast "Indians" at Eu
gene, and Immediately after that com
petition Jack, Culllson and party Jour
neyed up the Mackenzie In pursuit of
their favorite sport- They put In four
days above the Belknap bridge, fol
lowing the various diverging streams
In this paradise of sportsmen. They
found fishing especially good. near the
Junction -of the Blue River with the
Mackenzie, and at the short rapids
Just above the mouth of the Blue
Klver. Side trips up the various little
streams also resulted In handsome
catches. .
Mackenzie Teems With Trout.
The Mackenzie River and its tribu
taries are reported to be the habitat
of millions of speckled beauties this
season and Is seldom fished extensively.
The Culllson party Journeyed 53 miles
from Eugene to spots seldom visited
by fishermen.
Anglers who are looking for good
streams do not have to go so far from
Portland, however, for good fishing can
be found within a few hours' ride of
this city. Just out of Oregon City are
several excellent fishing spots. The
Molalla River, from 12 to IS miles
east of Oregon City, affords fishing of
the most satisfactory sort. In this
stream, owing to the rough rapids. It
Is necessary to fish from the bank or
wade almost entirely, for It is almost
impassable to boats. It can be forded
at Intervals of 100 yards or so. Milk
River is another stream within 15 or 18
miles of Oregon City where good fishing
Is to be had. This stream Is much on
the order of the Molalla. and Is full of
large, gamey trout.
Columbia River Streams Good.
The many streams in Southern Wash
ington emptying Into the Columbia River
are also easily reached from Portland.
In these the .finest of fishing Is to be
had on the German, Abernathy or Mill
creeks, a few miles out of Stella, Wash.,
a point on the Lower Columbia of easy
access from Portland. The Kalama and
Cowlitz, as well as the Coweman rivers,
near the towns of Kalama anil Kelso,
afford excellent angling for those who
have not the time to make extensive
Journeys.
The Washougal and the Clatskanle
Rivers, the former In Washington and
the latter In Oregon, are also reported
to be first-class trout streams this
year. On the Washougal, which is 28
mile from Portland, a fisherman
should go above the sawmill several
miles beyond the dam. There Is splen
did rainbow trout fishing In the Klick
itat River above Wahkiacus. Wash, a

The fisherman who delights In a
long, rough hike in pursuit of his
favorite sport can find it on Scappoose
Creek, reached by the Astoria & Co
lumbia River Railroad. Tlda Creek, be
low Warren. Or., Is a great stream for
salmon trout.
Forest Grove Fishing Center.
The Wilson River, reached by way
of Forest Grove, and the Trask River,
from Gaston, are streams whence fish
ermen usually return wltn delignttui
tales of their success, with the "goods"
to show for their efforts. Another de
lightful trip may be had by taking a
vehicle from Sheridan, Or., and visit
ing Wlllamlna Creek and adjacent
streams, such as Agency Creek, the
Grand Ronde River and the Little and
Big Nestucca.
Dairy Creek, from 10 to 15 miles in
the foothills from Hillsboro, furnishes
fine sport, as does Gales Creek, a like
distance out of Forest Grove, though
In the latter stream email fish for the
most part predominate.
Klamath May See Fast Contest.
FORT KLAMATH Or.. June 24.
(Special.) Manager James Dixon, of
the Fort Klamath baseball team, is
trying to get Klomatli Agency Indians
and the Klamath Falls baseball teams
to form a pool for a series of games
July 4 for a purse of $700, the winning
team to take 1500 and the second $200
His proposition Is for this town to
raise $200. Klamath Falls $400 and the
Agency $100. The Agency team has
virtually agreed to this plan but so
far no arrangements have been made
with Klamath Falls, although tho mat
ter Is reported being considered by
the Fourth of July committee. The lo
cals and Falls teams have played two

Lee Shaw Gives Remarkable
Billiard Exhibitions.
DIFFICULT SHOTS SHOWN
Well-Known Player 19 Also Fine

Ahead of Hoppe as blaster of
; Game With tho Cue.
BT TV. J. PETBAIN.
During the past week one of the most
expert bllllardlsts of the country gave
a few demonstrations of his skill with
the cue before the Commercial Club,
and during his stay here the cele
brated knight of the green cloth. Lew
Shaw, told of many Interesting things
concerning the game, and performed
some remarkable feats with the cue.
Lew Shaw is one of the veterans of
the game of billiards, and, quite re
markably, he is also a pool expert as
well, though It la very seldom that an
expert billlardlst Is found. who can also
do as he wills with the pool balls.
Pool and billiards are widely differ
ent games, and a man very seldom Is
accurate at both. Lew Shaw is. He
can pl&y either pool or billiards with
equal dexterity, and astonishes his
audiences at his every appearance by
the number and accuracy of his shots.
Famous Experts Played.
Tears ago Lew Shaw commenced the
game of billiards, and in those days
the balk line game was unknown, and
he played with such stars as Jake
Schaefer, Slosson, Vlgneaux and others,
whose long runs became so monotonous
under the straight rail game that bil
liards was eventually revolutionized by
the adoption of the balk line rule.
The old time bllllardlsts were ac
customed to making runs of from 800
to as high as 1800 at an Inning, so
adept were they at manipulating tho
cue. Then camo the balk line game
and the high runs were decreased to
such an extent that the contests be
tween the experts became more even,
and were more enjoyed by the specta
tors at the championship matches.
Bllliardists of Shaw's experience and
ability, after the general adoption of
the balk line rule, proved highly cap
able at the new game, but did not
abandon the straight rail game alto
gether, as la evidenced by Shaw's work
here during the past few days. While
he plays most of his match games at
18.2 or 14.2 balk line, he Is also ready
to engage anyone In the straight rail
game and agrees to play 100 points or
no count, by which is meant, Shaw will
run 100 points or fall to count his
string, and If he makes only 99 It would
result the same as a miss on his first
shot. During the week he played sev
eral games at this handicap, and was
victor each time.
Fancy Shots Surprise.
Shaw also gives exhibitions of fancy
shots. Some of theoe are almost mir
aculous. Fancy shots and finger
manipulation of the billiard balls are
Shaw's strong points. While he can
hold his own at the straight or balk
line billiard game with most of the ex
perts, and also is willing to meet any
of the pool champions, his greatest
claim to fame Is his fancy shots. These
shots are almost beyond description
and should be seen to be appreciated.
One of the most remarkable shots ex
ecuted by Shaw Is a four-cushion
masse shot counting on three balls.
This shot has been the marvel of all
wbo have seen his exhibitions. Another
shot is a force draw in which he plays
upon the one red ball, circles the white
ball some distance up the table, and
returns, caroming on the other red ball.
This shot elicited the most attention
of the billlardists, who watched the ex
pert work.
His finger billiard exhibition also
created considerable excitement, for he
manipulates the cue ball with his fing
ers with marvelous dexterity. One of
his finger shots consists of the carom
ing of the cue ball off 20 stationary
balls placed about the table. Another
finerer exhibition was the sending of 20
balls In the swiftest possible succession
about the table and grouping them in
a semi-circle In a corner less than two
feet wide.
A pneumatic, couch has been Invented for
the comfort and convenience or motorists
