I Seattle turned the table on Portland
lryesterday and defeated the webfoot at'
FaTregatlon In another poorly-played
h game.
xne local sluggers lanaea on iae
Butler's choicest alanta. for a total of
fourteen safe hits, earning; four of the
ten rune a cored, while the visitors
failed to secure a single tally by way
of clean scoring.
The Seattle lads ran bases at will, se
curing Are stolen baaes yesterday,
which makes a total of IT for two
gamep.
8eattle scored one in the first Inning,
but a combination of errors and Sammy
yvigneux'a two-bagger gave Portland
four In the second.
Seattle opened up on Butler In the
fifth with a bombardment of safe hits
that somewhat rattled the veteran, and
when the smoke cleared away a large
figure 6 was decorating the score board
In Seattle's space numbered 4.
Portland tied the score in the fifth,
asslsters by Seattle's errors. Parke
Wilson then called his warriors together
' and injected some more eyewash, which
'proved to be good medicine, for the 81
washes took very kindly to Butler's
twists and landed three more tallies,
with the assistance of a couple of er
rors, thereby cinching the game.
Just for old times' sake, Seattle landed
another "Injun" across the pan in the
eighth.
Portland's last chance at bat wan
wlfhout result, for they were retired In
one-twethree order.
Drohan pitched a nice game, work
ing steadily at all stages, and had he
received good support the visitors'
core would have been much smaller.
litrfrawa1 wnrlr around AAonnri was
""brilliant, and. he handled the starting
point of a fast double play In excellent
fashion. .
Jay Hughes will pitch for Seattle to
day and his opponent will be Charlie

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18. Harry
Forbes and "Frankle" Nell, after finish
ing training this morning, are In fine
shape for deciding their claims to
bantamweight honors In their 20
round contest in this city tonight
Forbes expresses himself as con
fident of winning under any rules,
and that Nell Is in good heart is evi
denced by the manner In which Nell
money Is being freely offered about the
resorts where sporting men congregate.
It Is finding takers, without odds. In a
manner that makes It certain that a
large sum will change hands on the re
sult of the match. The contest "will
take place under the auspices of the
Yoaemlte Athletic Club in Mechanics'
Pavilion, where the heavyweight cham
pionship battle between Jeffries and
Corbott Is to be pulled oft tomorrow
ntght, and delegations from many cities
who are here for the big fight will helo
to swell the crowds at the ringside to
night. Forbes and Nell will clash at 116
pounds, one pound above the bantam
weight limit. Tonight's encounter will
be the second meeting between the two.
Their first tilt was at Oakland, where
Forbes won In the sixth round, after
Nell's seconds claimed their boy had
been fouled. They were rematched, but
Forbes went wrong In his training he
day preceding the fight and his brother
Clarence, who was substituted, was de
feated In the seventh round.
Betting Pavors Tortes.
George Hartlng, the official timekeeper
of the Yosemlte Athletic Club, visited
the ocean beach" yesterday afternoon and
Forbes went on the scales for him, tip
ping it at 115.
The betting on the contest is 10 to 8.
Forbes Is conceded to be a past master
of the. fighting game. He has won many
battles and Is a clean-cut fighter. On
the other hand Neal Is young and ambi
tious and possesses a knockout punoh
In either hand.
The preliminary battles to this contest
will attract many to the pavilion. Jack
Cordell, the amateur lightweight cham
pion, makes his debut in the profess
ional ranks. He will box 10 rounds with
Jack Kane, the San Francisco boy, who
boxed a 20-round draw with young Cor
bet t. They will box 10 rounds. Danny
Sullivan, the amateur featherweight
champion of the Coast, will box 10
rounds with Fred Landers, the clever
amateur who has won signal victories
before the amateur clubs of this city.
The advance sale of seats has been
very large. It was thought that the
big fight would overshadow the little
fellows, but the bantams will benefit by
the big crowds now In this city. The
sale of seats opened at Corbett's a few
days 'ago and already a large number
have been sold. The Yosemlte Club h
made preparations to seat a very large

TACOMA, Aug. 13. At 10 o'clock this
morning play began In the annual tennis
tuurndrnent of the Tacoma Tennis Club
In which the championship of the Pa
cific Northwest will be decided. This
championship was given to the local
clubs to decide each year by the United
States National Tennis Association 12
years ago and is a fixture of the sum
mer tournament in this city.
Besides a number of special prizes
offered by the local clubs, there are two
handsome trophies to be contested for,
the Thorns cup, representing the cham
pionship In the men's singles, and the
Cassidy cup, representing the cham
pionship In the ladies' singles. The
Thome cup, which was presented to the
golfers of the Northwest by Chester C
Thorne of this city, Is now held by
L. R. Freeman of Pasadena, Cal., last
year's champion. He Is here to defend
his title from all comers. His strongest
opponent is considered to be Robert
Powell of Victoria, the 1901. champion,
or Sam Russell fit Seattle, the 1898
champion.
Miss Goward of Victoria has held the
Cassidy cup, which was presented by
Robert Cassidy of Victoria, for the past
two years. Miss Coffin of New York Is
entered in the ladles' singles and Is
looked upon as MissjGoward's strongest

EVERYBODY IS TALKING FIGHT
The principal topic of conversation throughout Portland and vicinity
today Is the'Gorbett-Jeffrles fight for championship honors Friday evening
. In Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco. There is no Western City that
takes more Interest in boxing contests than this and nowhere is the sport
ing fraternity better posted on ring, turf and baseball gossip than right
here at home. While the betting In the poolrooms Is not so large as one
.would naturally suppose at this stage of the contest, yet, before the men
shake hands in the ring tomorrow night there will be goodly sums on the
principals, ranging from 31 to 3300, arfid In several Instances 3700. Tha
shortness of the odds at present and they are not short at all, being Jeff
ries at 2 to 1, has kept bade many bettors who always wait until the last
minute before taking the short end, thereby hoping to get better money.
At 'the Portland Club 2 to 1 on Jeffries prevails and the same is on the
board at Tracey & Denny's. There are many who think that Corbett will
be Just foxy enough to deliver the goods to Jeffries, while the great ma
jority look for the champion to put Corbett to sleep in 12 innings. Fred Van
Slcklen, formerly sporting editor of the New York Mercury before It
was abaorbed by ' the New York Telegraph, Is of the opinion
that eorbett will carry otf the money on points. He says that lf
Corbett only uses his past experience to good advantage he will defeat
Jeffries. Dlavolo says that when Jeff gets through with Corbett the lat
ter will resemble a novice that tried to loop the loop. The Forbes Neal
fight tonight at San Francisco Is attracting considerable attention, as the
bantam championship Is at stake. Forbes Is the rightful favorite at 10 to
7, but Nee has many backers willing to take all of the Forbes coin. Neal
may get the decision without much trouble. A few bets In town have
been placed on Neal.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 18. Thatthw-
Corbett-Jeffrles battle will attract the ,
largest crowd that ever witnessed a con- "
test In this city goes without saying.
The demand for seats is fierce. Jimmy
Coffroth, one of the men behind the To.'
semlte Club which handles the big bat
tle, states that the advance sale has
reached the 335,000 mark and that he !'
ready to wager that the entire gate re
ceipts will reach 350,000.
"Why, do you know that the country
orders have reached 114,000," said the
promoter today. "The order received '
from various sportsmen from the East
have reached 34,000. In all we have,
318.000 with the tickets sold outside
of San Francisco. I have received or- .
ders for many other tickets but have
decided to hold them until the day of
the battle.
I have also decided that we are not
going to take any chances on the fight ''
not being pulled off. I have had the
Mechanics Pavilion, where the bout Is
to be held. Insured for the sum of 810,-
000. The polloy Is worded in such ft .
way that the Insurance is against fire
only, as we are of the opinion that ft
fire Is all that can prevent us from pull
ing off the fight The policy will expire,
at 10 o'clock tha night of the battle, ',
as It Is figured that the danger point
will be passed at this hour and the con '
test will be on."
Billy BeUney Talks.
Billy Delaney was Interviewed today
regarding the battle and said: "I have
figured on a quick victory for Jeff and
I am sure that he will surprise, many '
when he starts. There are people .who ;
are of the opinion that Jeff Is not aa '
good as when he fought Corbett before.
They seem to figure that he has led ft t
fast life and dissipated much. Well. ;
they are a bit off when they talk like
that. He Is In the finest possible shape '
that hard conscientious training can
bring man into and when he strips It
will be seen. He will make the majority
hush when they see the speed he has ao- j
quired during his recent work. He Is
without doubt faster now than ever."
"There have been many reports clrctn
lated that this fight is fixed.' said the
writer to Jeff's trainer. . i
"Don't mind that talk a little," an
swered the veteran trainer. "In every
championship battle that has' yet been
pulled oft 60 per cent of the people hare ;
remarked that there's something doing.
Well, that's all bosh. Those who ques
tion Jeff's honesty are crasy.' That f el-
low would not fake a fight for all .the
money In the world. He is as' honest
as the night Is dark, and don't you for
get it."
The champion has finished , all work
for the battle and is now only awaiting;
the sound of the gong. He will do a lit-,
tie road work the morning of the fight-.
just to limber up but that will be alL
His condition Is certainly good.. Hie
looks show It He has worked hard and
faithfully for the battle for six.' weeks
and barring the bear bite has not lost ; .
day.
With "Pompadour" Jim,
Over In Alameda Corbett has finished
up and like the champion Is In superb
shape. Prof. Tommy Dare, who has had
charge of Corbett's entire training, Is
jubilant over the ex-champton's 'condi
tion. "I think he will enter the ring;
better for this fight than he ever .was. .,
His strength is certainly surprising and
his speed we all know about. Combined
think he has enough in him to regain
the title. His weight I think when he
enters the ring will be 188 pounds. Jim
tells me that It will only be 188 pounds
but time will tell."'
During his training and sparring
Tommy Ryan has continually cautioned
Jim about injuring his hands but an ex
amination shows them to be in first- ; .
class order. The middleweight since be
ing with the ex-champton. is overjoyed
at Corbett's shape and figures him an
easy winner.
