Fisher's men, while dangerous vary minute, were kept guessing for sight long Innings by the Irrepressible Thlelman, who loves to pitch better than a youngster enjoys the sensation of Stealing raisins out of the parental kitchen. The vagrant run tallied for f Sacramento came in the shape of a gift from Tommy Hess, who, in an attempt to catch Casey at aecond. threw too low. allowing the "Beetle" to reacn third, from whence he scored on McLaughlin's long fly to Hurlburt. This waa Sacra mento's first and only run, and. although tha haughty Senators made a gallant effort ,tp Increase their total, the effec tiveness of Thlelman' twirling denied them all c ha noes and blasted their hopes. Browna la Action The locals got extremely busy in the fourth Inning and fairly rattled the '"Pride of Jennlco" to the extent of three funs. It seemed rather easy for the Browns to score when Uiey needed runs and Mr. Cutter employed all. of his genius and cleverness to prevent the ruptlon, all to no avail All of this time Thlelman was speeding them along like rifle shots, as If his life depended upon ijh proper delivery of each ball. Swing as they would It made no difference, they covild'tiot Connect safely with the leather. And when the- Beetles did land on the ball, every Brown was in the right place to receive -it. The fielding of the locals waa admirable being the causa of frequent enthusiastic out bursts. Nadeau's superb catch of Casey's hot One to left field In third waa good to behold,-and Hurlburt'a and Blake's fine judgment In locating high ones was away above par. Van Buren's perform ing on first base waa the limit If any body ' think for a moment that the "Deacon" cannot play that position, he had better go way back, and laugh at himself. Van grabbed everything that came his way, high or low, wild and apeedy, they all looked alike to Van. It really looked as If Van Buren were a human funnel, on account of the eaaa with which he collected put outs. When he counted up he had 14 deaths to his credit lu Zafleld Work. Anderson, -Andrews and HoIIIngsworth played brilliant ball, their work being the fastest on the diamond this yenr. Tha double play, Anderson to Holllng worth to Van Buren In the ninth waa the finest display of accuracy, cleverness and speed ever witnessed In this city. The play was so fast that few realised that it had been completed. Hess caught his usual steady game and boosted his aver age by batting out two safe hits, one of which was a double. The batting of the Browns waa slab a feature, Ander son, Nadeau and Van Buren enjoying tha feast; in fact every man In the team got least one.

Hurlburt was on second and Phillip at the bat. He sent a bounder, towards Sheehan and it ap peared that the ball hit "Spec" as he waa dashing to third.

Umpire -Mr. Lerry. REUBEN WADDELL (Journal Special Service.) PHILADELPHIA. July 25. Rube Waddell signed an agreement with Con nie Mack last week not to run away and pitch for Independent teams any more. Then he started out to break records, and the first stunt he performed was that of striking out 14 men in a game Van against the White Sox. This, however. did not satisfy RUbe, and just to keep his nasne In a conspicuous place he fanned It of the St. Louis Browns and incidentally Jumped .Into the grandstand and removed an offensive spectator. The season , Is not ended and Rube will probably , do something yet that will electrify tha world. - 't ' - ' v : .. . - (Journal Special Service.) SAN FRANCISCO, July SS. Frankie Nejil, the crack little bantamweight has Joined the Corbett camp. He makes the fourth man at the place who has a match on his hands. They are Jim Corbett, Jimmy Brltt, George Fuller and Neal. The little fellow, who Is very popular here, goes to condition himself for his coming fight with Harry Forbes of Chicago for the bantamweight championship of the world. The lads have fixed the weight at 118 pounds at 8 o'clock, day of contest. They meet fog 80 per cent of the gate, which will be divided 75 and 28. Forbes Is due here from Chicago in a few days. Brltt and O'Xeefe. J. Edward Brltt and Jack O'Keefe are working like gluttons for their con test which occurs July 31. Brltt is more than confident that he will get the big end of the receipts in the coming con test and is not leaving a stone up turned at his quarters. He does all his work with Corbett and they have some lively times together. O'Keefe is at the Ocean Beach and says the result is al ready flgured,b'n. He can't figure where his opponent has a chance. He claims to be next to Brltt's best punch a left swing for the body and says he will show him up badly if he ever starts it ............ ! Al Weill and Dixie Kid, Al Neill received an offer to fight the Dixie Kid in Seattle during the month of August, but declined. "My hand la still bothering me, and furthermore I don't want, any more of the game for a time. I had made up my mind to cut it out altogether, but have decided that one more wUl satisfy' me. I want to try and reverse the decision the colored man Has over me, but not for a time yet" were Nelll's parting words. n( , Jeffries and Kennedy. Jim Jeffries planned to have Joe Ken nedy, his sparring partner, and Sam Berger, who la with Corbett. meet in the preliminary to the big battle, but he found the club '.managers lacking in of fering the men a good purse. He was Willing to hang up f 160, but Jeff simply smiled snd , said at that price there's nothing doing. The club managers said YESTERDAY'S REGRETTABLE INCIDENT Fun is fun, but when you step on a man's toes and push his eye In about two inches the sport ceases to be either funny or wholesome. The action of Captain Graham In yesterday's game was uncalled for. The min ute before it occurred Graham was heard to remark: "you're all right. Rube; keep up the good work." Why then did the Sacramento catcher so far forget himself as to make a threatening move towards the umpire. Graham Is a splendid fellow, possessing ex cellent traits and many sympathised with him, and it is re grettable that the incident occurred. Still discipline must be observed if every player is ordered out of the game. That's what an umpire Is hired for. Portlanders will not countenance rowdyism of any sort and the sooner visiting players recognise this fact the fewer fines they will have to pay. Los Angeles attempted to bluff Mr. Lervy, but didn't succeed. Neither will Sacramento do the tricla To lose control of one's self la an evidence of brain weakness Coolness in baseball is a prevailing, vjrtue and should be cultivated. Suoh fellows as Croll and Hlldebrand should be silenced. Hlldebrand. Is a chronio grumbler and Croll Is a rolling stone that has done nothing but gather moss. Umpire Levy's work this week has been strictly fair and eminently impartial and that hanVorklng offi cial should be heartily commended. Away with your petty kicks and use less knocks. Play ball, Caesar Fisher. if they were worth more that Jeff and Corbett should put up wnat was lacKing. The game Is again in good standing in Oakland, but there is quite a bit of dickering between the clubmen and the authorities about the length of the con tests held. The Reliance Club wants the bouts limited to 16 rounds while the authorities think six Is sufficient The club members, who are over 200 strong. have been figuring on pulling off some of the best matches obtainable, but this will be lmposlble If the men can only go six rounds. . It la thought the clubmen will win' out '" The authorities have decided that no one clubman will be tolerated. It was this that killed the game last year and the men who have the say will only stand for clubs with a large membership. . WITH TENNIS PLAYERS Tennis players, Bellinger and Fenton, defeated Archer and Paget in tha men's doubles handicap tournament at the Multnomah Club yesterday afternoon. The scores for both gamea were 6-8. The Irvington Tennis, Club playersr have been doing excellent work on the courts this season and there is a prob ability of a fine tournament being-held in the near future. It is expected that several influential members of the as sociation will donate trophy cups.

In college sports football, rowing and baseball attract more attention than any, of the others, and their Importance with the students is in the order - named. Track and field athletics corns next These four branches of competition are in a class by themselves, so far as promlnenoe with collegians and the general public is concerned, though sev eral at present minor branches are growing in Interest. The honors accru ing from the contests of skill, brain, brawn, excitement and team work In the college year Just closed might have been distributed about more than they wars; nevertheless, It was not a year in which any ono college towered to any great extent over others. Victories were won In 9ne branch only to be offset by de feats In others, and in the entire season of competition it was a luckless college Indeed that found no balm. All things considered. Yale did the best work of the year in collegiate and Intercollegiate competition in the East at any rate. The University of Michi gan was very prominent In the West, winning the football honors there, the track and field championships, and the four-mile relay race at the championship contests promoted by the University of Pennsylvania contests which are com paratively new, but which are looked forward to with more relish each year. Yale won the one-mile relay champion ship at Philadelphia, won the most prized crown of all, the football cham pionship, with the strongest team ever put on the gridiron, won the inter colloglate athletic games, won the dual athletic meet with Harvard, and scored sweeping triumph over Harvard la the boat races. " . Tale's Triple Victory. In rowing. Yale's triple victory over Harvard was not as great as, Cornell's on the Hudson. The Ithaca as also won the four-oar freshman and 'varsity races from a larger field than Yale had ta contend with. The Cornelllans are re garded, and Justly, as peerless In rowing. Whether or not they could vanquish Yale could only be decided by a test. , Is easy enough to say that Yale would not have had a chance at Pough ktepsle, and the mere say-so of an ex pert does not make it so. The Yale freshmen crew held the two-mile record on the Hudson up to this year. How ever, the Cornell 'varsity crews beat Yale nd Harvard the last two times the I three did meet and the burden of proof 1 Is with Yale. Harvard bore off the palm, so far as Yale was concerned, at baseball, and In this sport Princeton came to the 1 front, beating both Harvard and Tale. Right here is solace for Pennsylvania, - for the Quakers, defeated Princeton at baseball. Some have awarded the base ball championship to the Tigers.. But Brown is to be reckoned with in that re gard. Harvard and Yale, and Prince ton wero beaten by Brown, and Brown, therefore, has as good a claim to the baseball championship as the next One. The championship laurels were pretty eevnlj divided among Princeton, Har vard and Brown, and perhaps, after all. the award might be made in the order named. While the Quakers' victory over Princeton wss a big feather in their cap, they were beaten by both Harvard and Yale. ' Among Western colleges, the uni versity of Illinois carried off all tha honors, and its title to the champion ship of the West is undisputed. ' RICH BALL PLAYERS It is probable that Edward J. Dele riant r,-baseball star, who was drowned In Niagara River, did not leave anything outside of some life insurance. Yet Delehanty earned almost as much money as any other man that has played bass ball for a living. He spent his earnings on the racetrack, where he was known as a gay sport It Is not always the ball player who earns, the most that has the greatest amount of wealth saved up. - Fred Clarke, manager of the Pirates, is said to be the richest of the present colony of ballplayers. He has earned big wages for years, and been success ful In Investments. He is vrobably Dworth $75,0(H. Btny Hamilton, wno nas just quit xne game as manager at Worcester, Mass., Is the next in point of wealth. He has been a saver from the start of his bass ball career. Lajole and others have earned more money than he, but have not saved it. Buck Ewing of Cincinnati Is an example of frugality among the oldtimers. Comiskey Is another, al though he has added thousands to his pile as a magnate. Pittsburg Chronlcla Wreath won, Chlnn second. Snow Drift third; time. 1:15 3-6.

The entire team is willing to back hlra for any amount that he can outpoint any other player In either league in an athletic contest Brandsfield has an Iron' grip and can almost crush any hand he might grasp. The other players on the Pittsburg club frolic a good deal with him, but are al ways careful to get away after a dig in the ribs, for "Kitty" can put out an adversary with only a push.
