That aeema near the Impossible, but It ia. not ao eonaldered here among the ; fana and the management. The Saturday's and Sunday's gamea eauaed the change of positions In the percentage column. Salem won two from Roseburg and Eugene and Albany broke even with a ground given for a winning pro test. . . ., Bo mere, the Eugene twlrler, was" thrown out of the' game early in the second Inning, because he Joshed the first baseman. " Tim Shanahan, who heads the batting list of the Eugene players, wss benched for asking the um plre about the correctness of bis deel slon on allowing a double play when ahortatop purposely dropped an infield pop-up and threw to second and then to first. It has been charged that Salem sent this man MeCormlck from that town to win one game from Albany, thus lessen ing Eugene's chances for the pennant MeCormlck certainly did some very rot ten work agatnat Eugene. Sunday there waa an attendance of about 100 Eugene fana ready to walk all over the umpire If he did not do right. As a consequence Eugene got a perfectly fair deal. Mc Cormlck ahowed that he could umpire when he wished to. There are four more games to be played this season. Eugene is to con test four gamea with Salem, two here thla next Saturday and Sunday and the last two In Salem a week hence. Rose- Standing of the Clubs. Won. Lost ixm Angeles .....

Browne went right after Loh- men yesterday afternoon and de- tbem in easy fashion. The fea- the game waa the splendid exhi bition of pitching presented by Pitcher Thielman, the latest recruit to the local twirling company. Thielman waa In rare form and had the Oakland batters. swinging tbelr heads off in a frantic ef fort to connect with the ball. When the . smoke had cleared away Thielman bad 11 atrlke-outa to hla credit, healdea holding the vagrants down to five lonely burg end Albany will play four more hits, three of which were secured by I games and that will end the existence 1 TO i ! Mosklman The game was not spectacular enough , to warrant any great outburst of ap plause, nor was It even sufficiently in doubt to' cause the local fans sny un ' easiness. Full confidence was ex pressed in the Browns and they ac . quitted themaelvea very well. The runs made by Oakland were. In reality, noth ing but presents as aharp fielding and more careful work would have cut them off. While many are of the opinion .that Oakland Is an easy proposition, it might be well to bear in mind that they are dangerous every minute and liable to cause trouble without a moment's notice. The fielding of Oakland was ragged and was occasioned by the pres ence of seversl players who are not fast enough for the company. The absence of Baxter and Brashear wss felt, and it 'Is unfortunate that Lohman's team .should be ao badly handicapped this time. No team that plays here displays more ginger than the Oakland boys, and their antics during the contests are al ways appreciated. "Brick Devereaux." the "Human Freckle," created a laugh yeaterday by hiding a ball in hla blouse and after a lot of excitement Rube Levy looked Up the clever short stop's sleeve and de tected the sphere.. Josephine Rellly was camped on third for the visitors, and accepted his few 'ohances gracefully. Josh always wears shin pads under his stockings In order to protect his heart as whenever things come his way with any degree of .'rapidity, his palpltator passes into hla feet through Vie customary channel. ' Gorton caught Graham in fairly good shape, but his right arm got a fit once, and sent the ball a mile over second, "fsr from the madding crowds," eta Lohman couldn't sit still during the jgame, and kept walking around like a 'disturbed father, when soothing syrup 'fails to charm his progeny. Graham pitched a fine game and had Ms support been better, the score woubl bave been close. Butler and Cooper 'will hypnotise the batsmen this after noon. Sow the Bans Cams.

Philadelphia In quirer. - ; T v -:-- - .N (Journal Special Service.) SAN FRANCISCO. Julv 15. The bit ffllows, Corbett and Jeffries, are now settled down to steady grinding for their coming championship contest to be decided In this city on August 14. All the final details for the match have been completed and the selection of Eddie Graney to referee the bout has met with approval of all concerned.. It will be remembered that Graney of ficiated In the same capacity for the Flti-Jeffrles battle and made many ad mirers by the easy manner. In which he handled the big uns. The prices for the bout have been set at, boxes $20 and gallery seats S3. The price Is $2 cheaper than the last heavyweight bout Jeffries' camp la composed of Billy Delaney. chief advisor. Bob Fltxslm mons, Jack Jeffries snd Jote Kennedy. The Inst two consume all the hard knocks ths champion hands out. while Fits sees that he has enough roughing and wrestling. To Delaney falls the task of seeing that his charge Is not overtrained. Delaney was in the city a few days ago and remarked that as Jeff was a glutton for hard work he would have to keep bis eyes on him un less he will overdo It. The big fellow now weighs 226 pounds snd will enter the ring at 216 pounds, his usual fight ing weight. His favorite training stunt Is climbing mountains. "He will take a gun with Mm In the morning and will net return until he has bagged some thing," remarked the veteran trainer, "and at times I have tq send after him. When he and Fits go off for a trot It Is a cinch that they won't be back for several hours. I am afraid that Jeff will work too much unless I sit on him. He Is a glutton In the gymnasium and never seems to tire." The bite Jeff received from a pet bear the other day is not as bad as re ported and h.-.s not stopped the big fel low from doing his dally stunt. . . At Oorbett's Cs-'p. Over at Corbett's stamping ground in Alameda there are large doings. The ex-champion already looks lit and all seem sfrald that he will overtrain. He has been at It for a month, but goes on merrily under the careful eye of Pro fessor Dare, whom he imported from New York. Jim has removed his ring Into the open air and has shifted his work a bit. In the, morning he does his gymnasium act and in the afternoon goes on the rond. Jim seems to think the fresh air is strengthening, hence the change. Sam Berger, the clever Olympic Club boxer, and Yank Kenny are his chief punching bags. The former was seen last night and re marked: "There are many people who seem to think Corbett hasn't got a chance with Jeff. Well. I think there will be a bunch-of surprised aiorts 4he morning after the fight. Now, Jim weighs the same ss I do, but I out measure him In almost every point. Yet when we spar or wrestle he throws me sround like a middleweight and I feel llko a baby In his hands. His strength is something remarkable and maybe he can't wallop. You can say for me that he will surely go the 20 rounds snd win the verdict If he doesn't knock. his roan out. This morning he went five rounds with myself and Keajy and at the end wasn't a bit fatigued. In fact, ho seemed able to go 20 more at the same pace: He" n'MTlowt two poundr since he began working fof the contest and will remain at this weight until a couple of weeks before the fight, wben he will build up. .
