In the sixtn inning i ,
Colt-Bee fracas, resulted in four runs,
a 4-2 victory, and the fourth straight
game for Portland.
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

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.
Rioomfleld Starts Rally.
Smith looked like an easy winner
until the sixth inning was reached, for
he was mowing down tne imn wiwi
otit strenuous opposition, and the boot
nit combination gave the Bees a two
run lead. But in the sixth Bill Bloom

aas receiving either from the fielders

rally which humbled the Bees for the
fourth consecutive time.
"Parson" opened the Inning with a
pretty single to right. Hausman. the

Notes of the Game.
Hausman made a nice pickup of his first
chance, but fielded miserably after that.
His arm seems to be weak. He hit twice,
but la alow on the basea He haa a touch
of malaria and will probably be sent home
soon to wait for next season.
Clementson stole second in the sixth In
ning, but Umpire Toman missed It, calllns
htm out.
The Colts have (leaned 40 hits- already
this week. 10 of them yesterday. The Bee
total is XI.
Cruikshank. the leaning; Colt batter, has
gone hitless for two games.
Bloomfield allowed only seven hits, .ut
he walked two men and hit another. His
support was disheartening, but he kept
plugging away and (he "break" cava the
victory to the Colts.
Dusjdale is hot after an lnflelder. In ad
dition to coins after Keller he made an
effort to secure Ward McDowell, the Celt
second sicker.
Bill Speas may break 'nl 'he tama to
day. Kurch will catch one of the games. U.ir

The game was the fastest o! the week.

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.

WORLD TOUR IS PLAN
MIKE FISHER WOULD TAKE TWO
TEAMS AROUND GLOBE.
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

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.

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
