Batterlea (Je and Gorton; Butler and Shea. I It waa a ahatne to have loat yeater- ay'a nme. There la not much comfort Jn weeplnf over something that Is past our power to alleviate or chance, but there is a certain amount of satisfaction In knowing that had we done the nroDer itninf ii ino proper lime mere WOUia nave been no crepe on our door today, It Is true that baseball earns Its good name and admlrera from the substantial uncertainty that lurks In every plsy during a jrame; deprive the sport of that peculiar and fascinating element and you have nothing but 18 men, an umpire, a few balls and bats, and a little neces sary . paraphernalia for the protection of the anatomy. But besides this ac companying uncertainty, which is part ana parcel of the science or the game, there are certain well-defined rulea, carefully and Ingeniously made, that re Indispensable in the proper govern ment of a ball team. These regulations are often disregarded in the heat and excitement of a game, and Invariably the omission will be fotrnd to have proven costly and regrettable. The true merit of a team is measured by its ability to observe the customary rules of the game and the prevailing disci pline of the occasion, which should at all times be fair but strict. The most enduring virtue in baseball, as In other vocations, is discipline, without which you may be victorious many times, but at . the crucial moment when hard pressed for a run to tie the score, the absence of that trait Will be keenly felt. v xespee aaa Discipline. ,-,The true relations between manager an player should be consideration and devotion.. It Jm closely allied to loyal friendship, Inasmuch as It involves obedloncc, respect and affection. - In football it is the, strict discipline that makes the play so effective. The 11 men toll together like a machine and. being possesed of the same feeling indi -vldually. that same feeling pervades them as a unit, with the result that -the team moves aa a body inspired by one mind. Baseball is played in a similar fashion. The man at bat knows ,what the runner on first Intends doing, and the . coacher is responsible ' for the giv ing of the correct signal. There is a proneness in baseball, when a team Is fortunate In getting three men on bases and no one out, to throw away several chances to Increase the score, by com mitting some stupid act. It is in this particular thnt a team shows Its true ability to take advantage of everything. Coaching la a requisite essential, and is a highly Important factor in winning games, and base-runners should be heavily fined for disregarding a poacher's directions. .Of course, If the players pay no attention to the coach Ing, then It would be more fitting to keep the eoachers on the bench. Begardina Umpires. Another source of vital Importance In baseball Is the ability- of the umpire to discern quickly and decide promptly the result of a play. Many games are lost and won .on a single close--deetsteti. A fair rendering of the rules, however, Is all that is necessary, on those plays. Tf a runner slides into the home plate nd slips under the catcher, if the t re should think him out, ne snouia read the rules regarding close decisions on base-running. If a batter knocks good double and tries to stretch it into a triple and gets caugnt rour reet irom the bag. then any umpire In the world would declare the runner out. Some umpires refuse to do this frequently, and whether it Is from a lack of knowl edge of the game ot a desire. to. be flagrantly partial and unfair it Is not known. There Is no sadder sight In the world today than the spectacle of an Incompetent umpire.- Some umpires are chosen for what they know about the game, others for the sake of family expediency. Those chosen for the lat ter are to be pitied, although censure should be heaped upon them. Some say that it was an unfair de cision yesterday that cost Portland the game. Perhaps it 'was. but when an apologist decrees awards, more by the mistaken idea of divine right than In imess and Justice, what may a hard working team expect from such an of ficial. There were a number or mis tnkes in yesterday's contest, some of which were as unpardonable as they were costly. The Tault rests with some one, and should be rectified. The Oak land team, with its collection of hos pital exhibits, has no license on earth to, win one game from the Portland Prowns. If Portland can defeat the best team that Los Angeles can present, then there must be a strango reason why Oakland cannot be vanquished. We all have our oft days, when everything n wronav hut J'oflLnibts?houl4 not bo on the calendar.

Raldy started for home when Gorton muffed O'Mara'a throw, but Mosklman was backing up the catcher and caught Raldy by a quick throw to Croll, who was assisting Rellly at third, thus com pleting a peculiar double play, which saved a couple of Oakland players from being chalked up with errors.

Was the Victim ot a Holdup Joke Perpetrated by Jettrles and baugnran, mm A I ' (Journal Special Service.) BAN FRANCISCO, July 16. Jim Cor bett has decided to cut out the steady grind he has been undergoing since the early part or the month ana win let up In his work this week. He win not at' tempt to do any hard work until next week and then will go at It in earnest. The visitors at his quarters come In large droves and James has a hard time dodging them. Since changing his gymnasium work to the morning he has found it a bit easier to work. 'I am more confident now than ever before that Jim will defeat Jeff when they come together," remarked Harry Corbett today. "He showed me In his recent workouts that he has developed a good punch and Is much stronger .than I have ever seen him. He is as speedy as of old and has all his great, clever ness. When the match was made I thought Jim was undertaking too big a task, but since seeing him work I have changed my mind and think that my brother will again win the champion ship." Joke on Oransy. Eddie Graney, who has been selected to referee the big fight, was the victim of a huge Joke while returning from Harbin Springs last Sunday night It was a trying one for the referee while It was on and had it not. been for the running away of Graney' a team it would have worked successfully. Accompanied by Jimmy Coffroth of the Yoaemlt Club Graney decided to make a trip to Jeffries' training quarters to see how the champion was making' out and also to get checks amounting to 17,600 to guarantee Jeff's appearance on the eve of the battle. The men had made up their minds to stay over Sunday, but a telegram to the referee was the cause of his departure Sunday night. Coffroth also made up his. mind to return and to gether they engaged a rig to reach the train. The trip over the mountains to the depot was a lonesome one and had many good spots where a holdup could be held. Andy Gaughran, a local po Uceman who is spending a couple of weeks with Jeffries, thought It would be a great idea to hurry down the road and hold Graney up, then relieving him of the checks. Jeff answered that it would be a great thing and with the cop per raked up a pair of shabby-looking suits. They donned them snd hurried down the road in advance of the referee and his escort. When they arrived at a spot about three miles down the trail where It was rocky and quiet they awaited the coming of the rig. Delaney was put on and when the time for de parture came Invented a good excuse for Jeffs absence. Graney and Coffroth, the latter was also in on the Joke, then mounted the vehicle and started for the train.. When they had gone down the road about three miles Jeff and Gaughran Jumped from behind a tree and yelled "Hands up!" at the same time pointing a gun at Graney's head. The latter leaped out of the rig and threw up both hands, immediately. "You had better obey, coffroth, yelled Graney, "or they will shoot." Money or X.lfe. 'Give us all your money and valu- they all had a hearty laugh and a new I haven't got a cent, answered Graney, who had checks In his pocket amounting to 37.500. "I lost it all gamb ling at the springs." But this is where the plot failed. The horses driven by .Graney became fright ened and started down the road at a ter rifle gait. Jeffries not wishing to lose the rig and horses set out after them and after a long chase succeeded in catching them. He brought them back. Coffroth, who remained in the rig. Jumped when the horses started and a a reeuft landed" against a" tree" and was forced to take the count. Oaughran. who aided Jeff in the holdup, was forced to give In when the horses ran away and revealed his Identity, while the big fellow was away. Upon Jeffs return they all had a hearty laugh and a new rig was given to Graney to enable him to catch the train. The original plan was to take the checks away from Graney and then tell him to drive on without turning around. Should he do so be was told he would be shot. Coffroth was to wait until they had gone -About 100 yards., when he would raise a cry of "Robber! Thief! Help!" Jeff and his partner were to fire a volley of shots in the air and put Graney wise. The horses were not In on the play, however, and upset everything when they ran away. NATIONAL LEAGUE BATIOWAIj I.EAOXTB. Standing of the Clubs. Won. Lost P.C.

Holding Its End Splendidly in the Pennant Race, Having Forced Los An geles Into Second Place, (Journal Special Service.) HELENA. July 16. Baseball fur nishes the sole toplo for Montana sport dom these days. It Is hard to realise that Butto, once the Mecca for fol lowers of flstlana and race-horse dopera is a "dead one." But Butte has a Just pride in her ball club, and It now looks as though the team representing the great mining camp will not be headed In Its race for the pennant. The comparative ease with which It took Los Angeles down the line gives good ground for this belief. And the club won from the South erners, too. when It was in the worst possible form. Tlggy Ward, the main stay of the team so far as stick work and base-stealing are concerned, has been called back to Altoona, Pa, by the serious Illness of his father. Wllmot ws sick In a hospital and Kane was laid up for a major portion of the week. These misfortunes necessitated the playing of a pitcher In the outfield, switching an outfielder to first and playing the regular first baseman at third. Skel Roach has returned from Ann Arbor, where he was coaching the ath- etlc team, and has lrfst only one game thus far. Indeed, his control is some thing wonderful and he will give Dowllng a hot race for the title of hamplon before the season Is finished If he keeps up his present clip. s a rule, the' Helena fans prefer to talk about Butte than their own club. Is Helena's first experience with a tall-end club for any length of time. nd the result is not different from that of other cities the club Is playing to practically empty benches. Where the attendance was 600 and 800 on week days lastear, 200 and 300 Is the limit this season. Manager Peoples Is making a hustle for some new talent, but, not unlike other managers, he is not finding them on every bush. Taylor, rormeny or Spokane, has been added to the twirling staff. A nhortstop and first baseman ro needed, however.- before the club can make any showing. Boxing Gossip. Efforts will be made to pull off a match between Aurello Herrera and Benny Yangi-r at Butte on Labor Day, Ypnger has expresned a willingness to meet the Mexican and It Is probable that match will be arranged. Mayor Mnlllns. when broached on th subject of pulling the fight off in Butte would make no promise of non-Inter ference. Ho said he did not know much about the boxing game, that he had never seen a ring fight, but that the frke talk and the rapidity with which events were being pulled off In Butte had caused him to issue his ukase pro hlbltlng Buch affairs. Inasmuch, however, as the Mayor did not come out flatfootedly and declare that he would not permit the contest, the fight managers are living In high hopes, and. it Is said, will make a propo sttlon to divide the time as Is done In San Francisco between the different clubs, and In this way the element of frequency at least can be avoided. Coming Stat Pair. The State Fair will be held In Helena the week beginning October 6. The as soclatton has appropriated 86,000 for harness events, and a big representation Is assured. As yet no amount has been fixed for running events, but the turfites are bent upon pulling off a meeting whether any is made or not Negotiations are now pending for a division of time between the harness and running classes, and no doubt an agreement will shortly be reached. DIAMOND GL1STENINGS Sham! Won't talk about It. When the "Human Freckle" was called safe at third, what a howl went up. Levy Is the worst umpire in the world, and If there are any other worlds well, that's enough. In the excitement a lady took advan tage of the protestations Of the home players and the grand stand, and ap plied a touch of "Mennens" to our flushed features. Next. People- who attend the games lir can rlages should be protected from "the In solence and even the presence of ob jectionable persons on the ground. That copper Is a peach. Thielman should have been held on first. If It required an ax to accomplish It. Shields and Anderson attended the "fete champetre" last evening, and wero given cake, candy and Ice cream. Char He was presented with a napkin, and he got so rattled that he placed the piece of linen in his coat pocket. Phil Nadeau had his hair cut yester day, and now feels in a lighter vein. Van Buren s antics when he was called out at the plate were the fun niest on record. Van had a good kick coming, but Levy well, that settles It. Butler allowed only three hits up to the seventh inning two doubles and a single. Willie Hogg wants to pitch today. He Is anxious to take revenge on Peto's crew on account of losing two games to them In one day at Oakland. Billy Murdock was the chief slaugh terer Of tho Browns yesterday outside of Rube Levy. His two doubles . both counted for runs; besides, he drove Dev ereaux home with his first one. Andy Anderson cut off several hits again yesterday and whipped the ball to first retiring the batsmen in fine style. Proper base-running is now the only thing the Browns lack, and possibly a little more Judgment could b used among the eoachers. With Brashear, Lohman, Baxter and now ""Devereaux out of the gam, Pete Lohman is certainly having his trou bles. .-,-"' '-...
