Then Doc Andrews picked out a nice one among the slants that Dock Mosklman was dispensing and sent it on a vacation among the dande lions near the score board and by the time the Oakland outfleldeif had recov ered the ball and returned it to the dla-mon- the "Doc" rested on third and the score was tled with nobody out. but out of the next four men who faced Mosklman not .a sinsle one could score the impatient Doe, who was anchored at third, and he game went on until Pete Tollman's, aggregation piled up fa many runs in thVihh that the" Brown's were faded.

Fred Muller, the San Francisco light weight who worked with Tracey, and who Is negotiating as to boxing Rufe Tdrner .(eoloreoNln a 20-round contest oeiore a Beanie euro in tne near future, says In connection with tonight's con test: "Tracey la the recognized holder of the 110-pound championship title. He has been compelled In the past to con cede to his opponents In the magic cir cle from 10 to 2fl pounds or remain idle. I look forward for Tracey to give Gans the stlffest argument he ever had, and, barring an accident, look for him to cor re.l the winning end. I recognize - In Tracey the best man In the welterweight division, and he is sure to give a good account of himself In tonight's meeting with Gans. who holds the lightweight championship of America.1- Tracey is trnlned to the hour, and fit to battle for a king s ransom."

What O.hers Think PORTLAND. May 18 To the Sporting Editor of The Jour nal: Fur some time prist I have noticed that the Telegram has been using tho same style of headlines and make-up on its sporting page as The Journal, and as I am a reader of your pa per, I would like to know why the Telegram copies The Jour nal's style In almost every de partment, especially the sporting. In today's paper the Telegram used the same headline that was first used in the Northwest by The Journal. If they are look ing for Ideas, it is all right but I do-not think they should bold ly appropriate the entire form of The Journal without giving cred it for It Sincerely yours, A SUBSCRIBER. The Journal is not In position to copyright one-half of its Ideus, nor can It prevent another paper from copying Its headlines. Orig inality should be the aim of newspapess as well as Individ uals. Attempts at Imitation are frequent, and are evidences of , Inferiority. The headlines In The Journal are not models of news paper accuracy or the work of deep study, and realizing this, it is impossible to see why a con temporary, that endeavors to pose as a first class newspaper, should ever have the cold-blooded nerve to employ them. Still, if they serve the purpose for which the Telegram appropriates them. The Journal may congratulate Itself for conferring a distinct .favor upon the Telegram's renders. In the meantime It would be well to keep an fcye on the paper that Is compelled to borrow Its stylo .from a progressive young news paper. '- . if "P1T" HEADY POH A5Y MAN. (Journal Special Service.)
