Incidentally the one bad pertodln an otherwise spotless record gave "Slim" Smith, ex-Detroit hurler, his first los ing mark of the season, and the Colts a clean bill to the series without reck oning with what they will do to the Bees In the double-header announced for this afternoon. "Yohe's bad throw to the plate cost ns the game," remarked Owner Watte let. of Victoria, as he hiked for a EtrAAtrjir. True, the Yohe peg to Meek gave the Colts two runs, althougn it i rather difficult to say that but for the toss only two men would have scored. But on the other hand it would be dif ficult for the Bees to lay claim to a legitimate tally, for errors conspired to rob "Patson" Bloomfield of a splen did chance for a shutout victory.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES SLOW Hogvy Track and Small Fields rut Damper on Closing Day. CLEVELAND. Aug. 3. The closing day of the Grand Circuit races at North Randall was a disappointment, the track being very slow and , the fields small. The final of the Tavern "Steak" and the 2:07 trotting events were quick ly decided In straight heats, a sin gular feature being that In each heat the horses finished in exactly the same order. Esther W, winner of the Tavern, and Dudle Archdale, piloted by Ed Geers, In the 2:07, had their races all their own way. The championship pacing sweep stake was reduced by withdrawals to a field of five. Evelyn W, Hal C, B., Jr., and Vernon McKinney were heat win ners, and went into a fourth heat in which Evelyn W showed the way home and won the race. The fastest heat of the race was the second, done In 2:05, which was also the fastest of the day. The brush of the heat winners was the slowest of the race, 2:1 1. Shawby, a strong favorite, driven by Murray.' almost made the 2:15 trot at three heats, being nosed out in ths third by P'unny Crank. . 1 r- r O jSS, l J Meier m J? rauK s See the Window GREAT Third Floor of New Building MEN'S SUIT SALE iMo Leftovers No Old Suits Sale No Closing -Out.

Ex-Manager of Tacoma Tigers In 1904 and. 19 05 Talks of Stock Company for Baseball Venture. Mike Fisher, the famous manager of the almost-as-famous Tacoma Tigers of the Pacific Coast League of 1904-06, aspires to be ranked as a "comeback." "Mlque has no o'erweening desire to re-enter the ranks of organized base ball moguls, although he would not scorn the right proposition; his scheme is to tour the world with two nrst-class ball clubs. Fisher had a taste of the Orient In 1909, when he piloted Reach's All American team to China, Japan and the Philippines, and the trip made such a hit with him that he Is suffering another attack, this time on a more gigantic scale. "My plan is to gather two ball clubs eAm hA haat nlnvor, in the country. . , ,h. Ponifli, (na t tour the BUIIl A . Ul.l I- ' " . Orient, the Antipodes, Asia and Europe.' explains Fisher, who was in rorusnu for a few days this week. "I would organize a stock company, and guarantee them a certain sum for a seven or eight months' trip. , , The scheme is as yet in its infancy, but Mike declares that it will be con summated within the next two years. "If I had my pick of the baseball cities in the West, I would choose Port land for a franchise," is the boast Fish er has for McCredie's diamond strong hold. "It's the best basebal city of Its size in the world." "This boy Kibble certainly looks like a major league prospect to me," de clares Lou Nordyke. Victoria manager. "All he has to do is to pick up a little hitting and he will certainly make good up there." Owner Wattelet, of Victoria, has pro tested the signing of Shortstop Fitzsim mons by the Vernon Club. Fitzsimmous agreed to Victoria terms this season and signed a contract, says Wattelet, and then refused to join the Bees, go ing to Bakersfleld. Sacramento is soon to ask waivers on Gaddy, Madden, Swain. Fitzgerald and one other man, according to reports. Swain is the former Northwestern slugger, who made such a brilliant start in the Coast League. He failed to take care of himself and was benched and fined. a e Elmer Zacher, Oakland outfleldor, emulated Ty Cobb in Saturday's game at San Francisco. A fan had been hurling Insults at him for several days and he gathered a couple of police men, took them over to the grand stand section, where the offender was seated, and demanded that he be re moved. Fans surrounding the accused declared him Innocent and Zacher was forced to yield before superior num bers. Lower Columbia League Is Loser. CENTRALIA, Wash., Aug. 3. (Spe cial.) Although the Lower Columbia River League was started on a "home salary" basis, every team in the cir cuit is at present losing money. Until recently Kelso had the only financially sound team in the league outside of Cathlamet, St. Helens dropped out be cause of financial difficulties and Rainier and Clatskanie are badly "in the hole." Heberden. manager of the Kelso team, has refusod to play on the home grounds again, declaring the ex pense is too great. SPEED BOATS WILL RUN PROGRAMME FOR ASTORIA RE GATTA DECIDED ON.
