Portland senior four of li was sent to the National regatta and did very well, being beaten because of the stnirg.-ness of racing with a turn In tne course. Pattllnir for every Inch of water over the entire course of one and a half miles, the three quartets of men In the senior fours spurted gamely at the finish and not more than six feet sepa rated the crews aa they shot across th line. The crews ko! awy evenly at Sl.irtrr White s .-Icnal at .27. All three crews foucht desperately for the lead In the first 1" yards and then settled down Int.j a fast, steady stroke. For the first half mile all were ahreast. Then Strok Walt, of th Portland four, called for a spurt and the blue and while boat went to the front by a length. They did not hold all this lead, however, and at th IVa-mlle mark Vancouver was but a few feet behind. All th crews were rowing 3t strokes to the minute. In the final 100 yards Portland rowed 38. nosing the Vancouver Rowing Club crew out by a few feet. The cock-pit of the Portland shell was e-ven with Van couver's bow at the finish.

Iltcher Ben Henderson artied in Portland on the Mhasta Limited yester day afternoon, and will be In uniform with th Beavers today. Henderson re fused to talk about -his absence from the Beaver lineup except to say that he was 111 at Ftockton. and remained over at ian Francisco to see the Wol-gust-Moran fight last Tuesday. Henderson appears to be In fine con dition. The big pitcher seems to have re covered completely from his illness and is riser to get back Into the game. He was not ulte certain how he stands with Manager McCredle. for he had not had a conference with the Beavef leader up to a lute hour last night. When called up on the telephone last night W. W. McCredle. president of the Portland baseball club, had the following to say on the Henderson matter: -We are Inclined to deal leniently with Henderson, for there are certain extenuating circumstances In his sup posed desertion of the Portland team. 1 am not familiar with his case, and the entire matter Is up to Walter McCredle. who handles the team, and the pitcher. I think Henderson has shown the proper spirit by coming to Portland and rejoining tho club, snd whether he will b fined or not rests entirely with th manager." Walter McCredl had not seen Hen derson last night, but said that he ex pected htm to report at the baseball grounds today. He refused to say whether he would discipline the pitcher for his failure te report at Sacra mento last week. rA.MBKIIK.l-: CKKW IS DEFEATED Magdalen College Oarsmen Win Cup In Thames Regatta.

Philadelphia. Chicago and Pittsburg in the hunt for "the Xatlonal League pennant. Xot ona word has been said about SL Ixuis until a few days ago, when the Cardinals startled the Xa tion by passing Pittsburg. Bresnahan is really entitled to the credit for the great winning stride of the team, for the personnel of his squad suffered but alight change from last year.

"Whether or not baseball players will eventually wear spectacles when batting- cama up for discussion at tha Portland Roundtable headquarter a day or two ago. Jack Barry, former big league outfielder, now 1n Portland Coast League livery, believes the sug gestion made by a Xew York doctor re cently a very logical one. "Certainly I think spectacles will help a batsman," declared the popular and versatile Barry. "This statement may sound far-fetched now. but member that the catching mitt. mask and the breast and shin protect tors are only recent products, "A large majority of people have some minor defect In their sight. They may not know It. but It's a fact. I had my eves examined two years ago for the first time and I found I was trou bled with astigmatism. Xow If I had a pair of heavy rimmed glosses for use until I reached first base whjr shouldn't they help me?" Barry rites that nearly every batter h'as some favorite ball he can plug safly nearly every time. He aska the reason for this. "I'll tell you why." he pointed out to several of his teammates. "Take the example of the man who can hit the drop ball for a high clouting average. His astigmatism distorts objects so that a pitched ball looks lower than It really Is. Hence the above result." Patsy O'Rourke, manager of the Sac ramento Senators, was of the mind that pitchers would hurl the pellet straight at a man's eyes if he wore spectacles, but by building heavy rimmed ones, nothing would happen even if they were hit. and It would be no more dif ficult to keep from getting hit in the spectacles than from getting plunked in the eyes.

"Did you ever hear how a postponed game saved the lives of the old Indian apolis team In the National League?" asked Artie Krueger. he of the laurel wreathed brow, savior of Friday' 1 to 0 game with the Sacramentos, in a fanfest last week. "Frank Bancroft, of the Cincinnati team, tells the story, and I guess It's so." continued Krueger. "The Indian apolis club was on one of its Eastern trips, and. finding an open date In the schedule, took on a game with the Johnstown team, a flourishing outfit, which agreed to sat a handsome guar anteemore money than the losing In dianapolis .team was drawing at the gates around the circuit. "The Indians had finished a series at Washington and started for Johns town. They had to pass through Phil adelphia and were changing cars when up came Harry Wright, manager of the Quakers, and formally served a noti fication from President Young that the team must remain in Philadelphia and play off the postponed game. "Indianapolis naturally howled be cause the Johnstown guarantee looked fatter than anything Philadelphia could offer, but rulea were rules and stay they had to.

Members of the Albany team of the Willamette Valley Baseball League are now firm, believers in the old tradition that it is a "hoodoo" for a baseball team to have its pic ture taken Just before a game.- T be team had not lost a game this year until the above picture, was t aken about a month ago Just before a game with Salem on tho local grounds. Albany lost that game and then lost three more In a row.

ARRELANES IS PREMIER Sacramento Team's Manager De clares Steen Is Second Best Rlglit- Handed League Ttvlrler In at Present Coast Time. In Byram. Sacramento southpaw. Manager Patsy O'Rourke. of the green socks brigade, believes he has the best portslder in the Pacific Coast League. He says Byram will go to the majors this Fall without a doubt and that lie will "walk through that bunch up there" Just as Vean Gregg has done. "And I'm not so sure that the Bostons will get Byram, either." muttered the scrappy Irish Inflelder with a recalci trant toss of the head. "Doesn't John I. Taylor own a con trolling Interest in the Sacramento Club and doesn't that give him rlrst chance at Byram?" O'Rourke was "Yes, Taylor gets first crack at Mm, but he'll have to pay more than any body else ofTers. and take It from me. Bvram may land with Philadelphia." replied O'Rourke. "My home is In Philadelphia and I am out to help Dooln and that bunch all the time. Didn't I get Alexander, the famous young twirler who has won 15 and lost three this year, for Dooln from Syracuse a year ago? You bet I did, and I don't care whether Taylor knows it or not." a a a O'Rourke believes "Sweet Six" Steen to be the best pitcher on the Portland Beavers' staff. He ranks him side by side with Arrelanes as the premier righthander in the league, giving Ar relanes the shade, owing to his ex perience in the major circuit. "Spider" Baum, of the Sacramentos. and Miller, of San FVanclsco. are O'Rourke's run-ners-up among the right-hand throw ers of the Coast League. a a a "Happy" Hogan, of the Vernon Club, Is sweet on bow-legged players. He gave a young Callfornlan a chance last week simply because the lad waddled like a Christmas goose. "The bow-legged ones are more sturdy and their ankles are stronger. Whenever I sign up a youngster I look to see If his legs are bowed." said "Happicus." a . a Manager Wattelet. of the Victoria Northwestern League ball club, is per mitting Pitcher Blaine Thomas, his speed-ball artist, to go East tonight to Join the Boston Americans, notwith standing the fact that his twirling staff is already in a sadly crippled con dition. There should be a league rule pre venting such disruption of a club. Vic toria may need the money mighty bad ly at this stage of the game, but noth ing tends to put the National game on the toboggan alley quicker than mid season bartering of players. If the Victoria fans stand for Wattellet's ac tion it will simply be because they do not understand what a square deal in the great American pnstime means. Wattlet says he gets $3000 for Thomas. Brown, of the Vancouver club, is guilty of a similar offense, for Jimmy Harrison, his fleet outfielder, left Ta coma yesterday for Pittsburg in re sponse to frantic calls for help from Fred Clark. Pittsburg has been finding It tough sledding of late with Tommy Leach far below form and a substitute, Carey, making many blunders which have proved costly. Harrison probably will get into the game at the outset, an opportunity seldom offered to a young player making his first major league bid. a a a Terry McKune. Portland's new sec ond sacker. played with the Spokano Northwestern League club In 1906 and 1907. He was sold to St- Paul the lat ter part of 1907 and worked with the Saints until June 1908 when St. Paul sold him to Seattle. In 1909 he re fused to report playing with the Oak land State League club until June, when he Jumped to the Oakland Coast ers. The "outlaw" regulations barred him from organized baseball in 1910. but this season he is allowed to play in the Coast League. a a a De Witt Van Court, the Ixs Angeles boxing instructor, covered the Wolgast Moran fight for the Times and charac terizes the battle as the worst he ever saw. He says both men could have been disqvlifl3d many times for break ing the rules. Van Court thinks Moran made a seri ous mistake In keeping too close to tho Cadillac bruiser, but says Moran Is surely a past master when It comes to the rough stuff In the boxing game. "He began early to use his elbows 1 and forearms in the clinches and then , tried the old gag of throwing tha referee off his guard by complaining of the other man. "It will be a long time before "Wol gast Is beaten If they allow such, in fringements of the rules," adds the former instructor of Jeffries and Cor bett. a a a "Constant Reader" writes in to find out how Ty Cobb came, to sign with Detroit. Cobb was first heard of in 104. when lie was "Hied" by the Au gusta. Ga.. team because he Jumped Into the air while running bases, knocking down a ball that had been thrown to catch him. and was called out. The next season Tyrus got an other chance with Augusta and made gocd. Detroit tlitn had an arrange ment with Auerust'i whereby the latter tearr was permitted to use Pitcher Kddie Cicotte with the understanding that Detroit was to set a good man at the end of tho season. Cobb becajno a Tiger, therefore, during the Fall of. 1905. , . a "Do you expect to he managing Sac ramento r.ext season?" someone queried of O'Kourke the other clay. "Uunno." ejaculated Patsy tersely. 'ICan If I want to. I guess. Dunno what I'm going to do, but take It from nie. I'll have a better team than tho present one If I do. And believe me, if we Jiad a few breaks in the luck we'd bo right at the top even with the bunch I've got now." a Jimmy Whalen's broken leg has healed to such an extent that he has discarded the crutch and Is walking around the streets' of San Francisco lining up a Job for next season. Pitcher Ben Hunt and Jimmy Lewis, of the Sacramento team, are also doing nicely. Hunt was taken for an auto ride on Thursday and expects to be around within another 10 days.

In an attempt to set a new American long-distance record for continuous golfing Major Morrow and Jordan Zan, two enthusiastic members of the Wa verly Club, of Portland, will endeavor to go around the Waverly course six times today, making a total of 108 holes and a walking distance of over 25 miles. Major Morrow made 90 holes in a match game with "Papa" Houck. father of the Columbia Club, Washington, D. C. In the Capitol City two years ago and this is claimed as the present rec ord for the United States. "Mr. Zan and myself will sleep at the club tonight and make the start at 6 o'clock Sunday morning." said the well-known Government official yes terday. "If we are successful In our record-breaking attempt it. will mean we must keep on the go until 6 or 7 In the evening. Several longer marathons than 108 holes have been recordod In England, but this will bo a high water mark for America." a . Georgo Turnbull, "Waverly Club pro fessional, will compete in the open, championships at Seattle during Pot latch week, later in the month. Sev eral Portland amateurs will also likely enter the competitions. Russell Smith Is already in the Sound city. Jordan Zan and J. Gilllson are two others who are contemplating making the trip. a a a Turnbull set a new course record several days ago, making the 13 holes in 72.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 9. How many men can have a fight with Ad Wolgast In September and how many aspirants to the lightweight title the little Michi gan 'battler will select is a burning question in pugilistic circles. In addition to the proposed match with Wells, Wolgast ia considering September matches with Packey Mc Farland. Freddie Welsh and Knockout Brown. Before the Moran-Wolgast battle. Wolgast and Wrelsh posted J1000 each to bind a September match, this sum to become part of a $10,000 aids bet. the remainder of which is to b posted 30 days prior to the battle, Wol. gast already has posted his J9000 ad ditional and Welsh has cabled hi backers In Wales to forward that aura immediately. To prevent any slip up. Welsh left today for Los Angeles ta keep in touch with Wolgast. Before Wolgast left San Francisco he announced that he had been offered the largest sum ever drawn by a light weight for a Labor day battle witli Packey McFarland. under the auspices of James Croffroth, who probably, would stage the battle at Colma. Knockout Brown also is clamorins for recognition in view of his showing against the champion in New York, but from present indications the cham pion seems In a position to pick his opponents and name his own terms foe the Labor day fight. McCredle "Keeping School.' Walter McCredle is conducting an ex perimental school on his Portland Clurji at present. He has four rookies lined, up and likes the looks of all of tho youngsters. Maxmyer, Snooks and Gregg are twlrlers of promise, whllo Carrigan looms up like a lusty bats man and is being groomed for an out field Job. In the latter's case Mc Credle believes he can develop him into a legitimate successor to Buddy Ryan when the slugger advances to tha big brush next season, as he undoubt edly will. Carrigan is the son of a Sacramento policeman, and Is a husky youngster who has a record as fenc buster in the California bushes. Tacoma Bnys Texas Pitcher. TACOMA. July 8.
