Mike Fisher's orta took a aweet revenge yesterday on the Portland aggregation for the beating received up north. They pounded man Pitcher McFarlan for 16 safe swats for a total of 25 bases, which netted them 10 runs. The visitors presented a somewhat changed lineup from last week's team. Big Charley Elsey played first and Vau Buren was sent back to center field. where he shines brilliantly. Spec Hurl burt has keen released and Phil Nadeau has been switched from left to right field, and Blake plays the left garden, The locals commenced scoring almost from the start. Two-baggers by Shee- han, Graham and Thomas and a bane on beJls netted Sacramento three runs In second Inning. Sacramento scored three more In the next on three-baggers by Sheehan and Graham and singles by Hogan and Thomas ,and a base on balls to Eagan Portland got two In the fourth on Nadeau's single, Anderson's walk. Fran els' single, tilled the bags and Hollings- worth brought the first two home with drive to the left field fence. Five hits and. a hit-by-pltcher gave Sacramento four In the seventh. Hess started the ninth with a single over second. McFarlan scored him with a two-bane hit and scored himself a moment later on Van Buren's drive to left Van Buren and Holllngsworth car rled oft the batting honors for Portland, each securing three hits out of four times up. Tommy Hess and Charlie Elsey greatly Btrengthens the Portland team and their work yesterday was tine.

The fight waa fast from start to fin-1 Ish. Fredericks had the best of it all the way through. Hey ward proved him self game and waa alwaya In the-fight. The Montana lad landed aeveral ter- rlflo punchea during ' the early rounds, but Heyward came right back at him, and not until the thirteenth did It look as though a knockout waa likely to oc cur. In the fourteenth Frederick had his going, knocking Heyward down four times in the three minutes of fast fighting, and at the tap of the gong the Bostonian was decidedly groggy. Both men responded to the gong In the fif teenth round readily, although Hey ward appeared slightly distressed, while Fredericks appeared fresh. . Both men mixea u pretty lively ror about one minute of this session, when the Mon tana boy sent a terrific right to the solar plexus and Heyward went to the floor, rolling over In agony, and was counted out A comfortable crowd witnessed the contest and were thoroughly satisfied 1th the exhibition.

The accompanying cartoon, among others, was published in The Journal during the time that President Lucas, with his Inside and outside secretaries, Dugdale and McCloskey, were making the most desperate efforts to maintain teams in cities where the coast league was firmly intrenched. The revival of the scheme to again place a team In Portland suggested the cartoon today. While the ibergines were In Portland, heaven aloi.c, and perhaps Jack Grim, too, knew the herculean task It waa to muster a corporal's guard to National Park to attend the games, and to even dream of Portland again would be suf ficient to adjudge the schemers violently Insane without going through the for mality of summoning a lunacy commis sion. Lucas knows full well that there Is no love for him nor his companions In baseball In Portland. He was found wanting .last year. His treatment of this city was In keeping with his na ture. He did his best to destroy base ball here, but was prevented by the local stockholders, who were In base ball for sport and not for money. The regrettable fact of the entire proceed ing is the manner in which Henry Hart of San Francisco was fleeced by tho gang. This gentleman was drawn Into PoblUhrd la Tbe Journal March 22, 1003. the scheme first against hla will, but after sinkings few thousand, he deoided to see it through, and did so, paying $60,000 for his baseball experience. The people of the coast wanted clean base ball, aid naturally looked to the coast league for It They have been getting it all year, while the barnstormers are in reality taking money under false pre tenses. There Is nothing surer than the final disintegration of the : Pacific Na tionals before long, and so far aa the meeting of the league directors la con cerned, nothing of importance will re sult from it save a lot of talk and bold declarations of what may be expected next year.

Such things often happen. Can't begrudge Mike a game. Hulburt was missed in right. Holllngsworth is batting in great hape. Crawfishing on ash heaps is a popu lar diversion. Blake is not sustaining the "rep" that preceded him. i McFarlan has been batted very hard the last two series. an Buren and Nadeau continue bat- tii In the same oia way. eduloua pretenders often get the wronir goods. For Instance: "Cutter was suspended by Fisher." Since that was published Cutter has pitched sev eral games. He was not suspended. McFarlan was the recipient of a reg ular bombardment at intervals yester dav. Sacramento scored 16 hita "for a total of 26 bases. Charlie Elsey will make a valuable addition to the Browns as he is a fine player and it good, hitter. Why was Hurlburt released fcnd Blake retained?

Jim Morley is negotiating-with Sears and Hall of the defunct P. N. L. team. Morley wants one of them to play second. Mike Lyncn, tne rormer third base man of the Tacoma team, would make a valuable utility man on the Browns, or even to play him regularly in the outfield. There is a gap there ha can fill satisfactorily. Tirst basemen are certainly devel oped, not born. In the National league Tenney, Douglass, Doyle, Chance and Bransfleld are converted catchers, Hackett- an ex-pltcher, McGinn . a farmer second baseman, and Beckley the Only one who ha alwaya been a flrat aacker.

Tacoma. Aug. 26. W. H. Lucaa, pres ldent of the Pacific National League, left today to attend the meeting of league directors which convenes in Spokane to morrow. He has Just returned from San Francisco, where he was in confer ence with Henry Hart, the backer of the California clubs In tb Pacific Na tlonal League. "I made the trip to California by boat," said Mr. Lucaa. "When I reached there I heard that Helena and Tacoma had dropped out of the league. When I got back to the Sound I found that Los Angeles and San Francisco had followed suit. I have no comment to make about Tacoma'a action In quitting cold as she did. I was surprised and have not seen any of the local ora cers. There waa no other course left open for Mr. Hart after Helena and Tacoma had dropped out He told me when I was In San Francisco that he did not blame me for the condition of affairs, but that he deemed the Na tlonal Association of Mlndr leagues re sponsible. The association pledged us its support, materially as well as mor ally, in the fight with the coast league and it did not fulfill Its promise. "I am not out of the baseball bus! ness yet. The Pacific National League will finish its season, as it has now formed with Seattle, Spokane, Butte and Salt Lake. Next yeap-these same clubs will be In the league with two others. Vancouver is one of the two that will be admitted. There is plenty of, money in the British Columbia town to support baseball team and the men there are anxious to get into this company.

Seattle, Aug. 26. Jockeys and own erssome of whom, it waa rumored, wero preparing to clean up the books during the last days of the meeting which closes on Saturday received, a wholesome example at The Meadows Monday of the risks which they will Incur In the event they essay to pull off any events In which all horses are not out to win. Presiding Judge Egbert took summary action In the case of Jockey W. Williams, up on Laureate in the 6 ft -furlong race, ruling him off the track, thus virtually ending hla ca reer aa a rider. Starter Duke complained to the Judges that when the barrier went up Williams deliberately pulled Laureate, causing her to wheel and be left at the post The mar was a favorite In the bet ting, and she did not get under headway until the field was fully 15 lengths away. The Judges observed Williams' action throngh their glasses and fully con curred in the opinion of the starter that the boy purposely prevented the horse from breaking at a time when she squarely faced the barrier and could have gotten away handily If given a chance. Judge Egbert Immediately dic tated a ruling which forever bars Will iams from appearing upon any of the tracks affiliated with the new Califor nia Jockey Club, and the finding in ef fect bars his entrance to any paddock In America. It waa simultaneously announced by the association management that despite a rumored errort in soma quarters to pull, oft several "shoo-ins" In th clos ing days of th meeting it would take active steps to protect the public's in terests even to the extent of declaring all bets oft whenever the slightest in dication of dishonest tiding waa detected.

A. Clemenson, the specialty druggist at Second and Yamhill streets, where nearly everything is guaranteed, and where nothing la recommended that Is not thabest. Chicago, Aug. 26. Big Jim Corbett, the man who made auch a magnificent showing against Champion Jeflrlea In San Francisco recently, arrived In th city last week from the West with hla wife and registered at the Auditorium, say an exchange. The big fellow looked exceptionally "well and stepped around the lobby im if he had never been within a mile of Jeffries' puncheu. He bore no marks to tell tales of a re cent hard battle. Regarding hla plan for the future he said: "I am going to send my wlf to New York from here and I go to St. Louis. From there, after I finish up my engage ment, I go to New York. I shall be hero until Wednesday. It Is sure, I guess, that Jeffries and I will travel together. I should not wonder If we had a play, written for us. He will come East In September, I believe." Corbett will onter the ring again If the proper opportunity affords. reoi or tftose bleep muscles," said Corbett. when seen at the Annex, "an4 then tell me if it would not be a sham to permit myself to retrograde and bo come comparatively weak on the theory, Qiat I will never take on another match.' "Whatever I do, whether I again se the inside of a squared circle or not, X intend to keep myself, by ampl and dally exercise, in the physical condition I have reached by so much hard work. I was a bettor man than ever when I fought Jeffries the last time, but he, too. waa better by far than when I first met him. "I doubt if ever Is found, while Jef fries is in his present grand physical condition, a boxer who can do him. Th more I think about him and bla style and I had abundance of time to train to do that pondering the more I admire him. He is a great fighter and worthy of every praise for skill and strength, but he was too strong for me in spit of my own training to meet that very con dition. It was that awful punch In th second round that done me. I knew then I was done for. but the thought rushed through my mind that I must do my best that my friends, and espe cially those few that thought I had a chance to win. ntust not think I was a quitter; that I must put up the gamest tight I was capable of and a fight to" me iast second or endurance. "After the battle was over my great est satisfaction was that my friend still were my friends, and. that critic agree I did my best. Next to that kindly display of feeling the great pleasure I have Is in the knowledge that I have recovered my health. That waa worth the time and trouble of training." On the same train during all the four days' travel from San Francisco camo Robert Fltxsimmons, who helped to train Jeffries, but there was no socia bility on the way between "Jim" and Bob." They don't speak, as they meet and they carefully avoided each other on the train, exchanging not a word. Full description of all unnrtln. ..-.. New York.
