Tha performance of tha above-mentioned playera waa ao raw and lumpy that Shlelda. a man with more heart than a regiment of regular aoldlera, completely gave up all hope of winning tha game, ana flnlehed the conflict, keen ly regretting the Inattention and non aupport accorded him by hla colleaguea. The lose of the game cannot be attrib uted to hard luck nor an accident, but to the Inability of certain playera , to make good at the right time, by doing the proper thing. Shaffer played like a aaw-duat baby In the ninth Inning, hold ing tha ball aa a dog would a bone, and until Cravath, who atruck out a minute before, but got to flret on Hurlburt'a er ror,, danced acrosa the plate with the winning run. That waa the moat fool ish bit of baseball playing ever Been on any diamond. A player who cannot think, faater than Shaffer ought to hie to the logging camps and rent hla ser vices to the wood choppers for the rest of his natural existence. And Jay An drew! , It is about time that Dr. An drews would exercise, at least, a little judgment while playing the game. Some of hia work Is ao unwholesome that the cooling tendenclea of a refrigerator would be heartily taxed In order to pre serve any redeeming qualities It , may possess. He is correctly named "Jay. He is one both in name and on the dla tnond. " Anderson, too, ought to make use of thoae easy chances that come his way. Weak batting la a periodical weakness, but errors day by day can not be excused. Hurlburt waa unfor tunate In dropping the third strike on Cravath at such, a critical time, and this error was mainly responsible for the trouble that followed. Raldy waa a trifle off-color in hla throwing, sending two bad onea to Shaffer, but his batting and base-running were features. There can be no plainer evidence of tha crying necessity of .having com petent men to play the three bases for the Browns than the ragged, stupid and listless performance that made Portland tha laughing stock of the Pacific Coast yeBterday afternoon. Van Buren, Nadeau, Smith and Shlelda played baseball that was s credit to themselves and the team, and a pleasure to travel many .miles to see. Charlie Shields had good reason to lose courage In the ninth, after he had twirled such a brilliant gam. This la not tha first time that Shields was treat ad with disrespect. Portland strengthened in the places named would mean everything to base ball in this city. Detail of Game. In the first Hoy flew to Smith; Wheeler hit safely and Ptole second. Jud Smith fanned and Dillon went out at first. Raldy died at first. Van was safe on Jud Smith's error, took second on Wheeler's error. NaJeau flfw out and Andrews died at first. Both pitchers allowed. but three men to face them in the second. Spies walked after Hurl burt dropped his foul, but was caught off first by Shaffer after Anderson had thrown Hall out on a bounder. Shields uoned Dummy Hoy. Hurlburt .died at first, Shields walked. Raidy singled to lert. Van Buren walked, and Phil Na deau hit for two stations, clearing the baga. Andrews forced Nadeau and An deraon hit to Toman, ending the scoring for the Browns. Wheeler hit safely, took third on Hurlburt's bad throw to Catch him at second. Jud Smith rapped a long , ny to Van Buren, and on the throw-In Wheeler scored. With two down in the eighth, Hall hit tor three bases and scored on Anderson's arror of Hoy's grounder. . Then came the fatal ninth. Jud Smith popped a fly to Shaffer and was out. Dillon hit one down to short - which was fielded beautifully, but Raldy threw a mile Over Shaffer's head, and Dillon waa on second. Hurlburt allowed Dil lon to steal third without an effort to catch him. Cravath. the next man. took . three swipes at the atmopphere, and Mr. Hurlburt dropped the third one and the Santa Anna amateur went clear wvium m unru wane MUriDurt was making a farce of Andrews' effort to catch Dillon. Ross hit to Anderson and Andy quickly threw to Shaffer, who promptly went Into a tiance, and al lowed Cravath to score the winning run.-. In Portland's half, Hurlburt died at first,. Zlnser went In to bat for Shields, who walked off the field In dis gust, and smashed a beautiful drive to center for one cushion, but died there, as Raldy and Van were easy outs.

George Consi dine, despite the statement of Root's manager that Homer McCoy, brother of the "Kid," deliberately squirted ammo nia Into the. eyes of Root 'during the ninth round ;ln order to stifle him and give his brother the advantage, publishes the following: "McCoy was palpably fouled In. the second round, when he was on a fair road to victory. Referee Masterson would not allow the claim, however, and thereafter McCoy waa not able to fight his real battle. "I am so certain that McCoy was foul ed that I stand ready to back him against Root" in another fight for $6,000. He was plainly fouled and suffered so much that I pleaded with him to let me throw up the sponge. But he persisted, hoping against hope that the effects of the low punch would pass away , The only objection Considine inter poses as to another meeting between Root ahd McCoy is, "that It take place outside of their last place ot meeting the Detroit Athlstla Club."
