(Journal Special Service.) . . Ban. Francisco, Sept- I. Pete LoM- man's crew of Oakland misfits took a v fall out-ofithe 4 rejuvenated Portland Browns yesterday la the contest across the bar. Johnson, formerly of the 1km Angeles. Nationals, was - delegated ; by Peter to dispense the benders fronrthe lilab, and he" got off. very luckily, con- T: sldering. how . Lliatlessly the " Browjis . played. At one time In the contest It , looked as though the visitors had dis carded their dopey appearance, for they . -livened up for anr Inning and gave Mr, ' Johnson a sample of what they can do, but It only lasted long enough for them to tie- the score, when they dropped all - ; sign of liveliness and played. If any thing, more slowly . than ever. ' Jake Thlelmart was on the firing line for the Browns. He Is charged with allowing 11 hits. This would have been , reduced about half had the rest of the . -team displayed -any .life and taken a , chance at anything except those that came directly to them. - At the, Hat, Blake, Anderson, Hess and - Thlelman were the only Browns to suc cessfully connect with the ball, the first named securing four clean hits. O'Hara made the clr-outt in the first Inning in a fluky way. He met the first ball pitched, and it sailed out to deep right center and, taking a peculiar ' bound off the. fence, going In a direction out of reach of .Van Bar en and Blake., , and before the latter could field it O'Hara had made' "the circuit. Hens scored in the third, making it one all, when he was presented with a pass, was sacrificed by mieiman, iook tnira on Blake's single and scored when Murdock threw Van Buren's fly to third Instead of to the plate. The misfits managed to pile lip three ., more runs up to the seventh inning, when the Browns started a bunch of fireworks and tied It up again. Hess led off with a neat single, Thlelman cracked out a corking three-bagger, bringing his working partner over the plate. Blake singled, scoring the pitcher. Van Buren sacrificed and Na deau flew out Anderson drove a beauty to left, scoring Blake yith run No. S for the inning. Francis died at first and the scoring for Portland was over. Oakland got busy In the last half of . this session, and brought, two then ever the pan, making the necessary balance . in their favor. , McFarlan and Graham will be the op posing pitchers at Recreation Park this afternoon.

L , SHORT STORY OF J :' FISHERMAN'S LUCK Vfoima anTrloU Displayed by Pick erel and Perea as Witnessed by " aa Eastern Angler In Kid- . . summer. "TM unaccountable things that fish do, whether It - is whim or suspicion that prompts- them, - are ' an -unending source of wonder to. the observant an glerl'' said one of that gMlldl. f'Wlth a companion, a young man who had never fished for trout, perch or pickerel in his Hfe before, I once went to- a welt known plckensl water in an Eastern' county. It was in mid summer, and we stlU-flshed with live mlnnows.1 frlm One side of the, boat and my companion from the other aide. -There -are perch .in that water; and big ones. The fish bit fairly well, but while My fellow fisherman .caught pick erel, not. a thing but perch would cdme to my hook. " ' , -, "This peculiar division of catch show ing no sign of changing;' we - changed places in the boat, as I wanted to . land a pickerel or two before we quit, and didn't see any way to. dolt except, by fishing at the spot where they seemed alone to be. You tnay Imagine my amazement, then.- when the first fish I caught was jl perch and my companion still caught pickerel. "After he had 'caught three big ones and I had ' landed half a dozen perch, I suggested that we exchange rods, and see if that would make any difference. To my joy I soon hooked and got Into the boat the biggest pickerel that had been taken all day, and my pompanion surprised himself .by catching his first perch. " . ' "I can't understand it," I said, "but your tackle seems to suit the pickerel better than mine, and mine seems to be the choice of the perch, although there Is not. the slightest difference be tween rods, lines, hooks or bait." "But that wasn't -what ailed the fish at all, as I soon found out. for instead of now having my expected' sport-"with pickerel,' not another one gave me so much as a nibble, and the perch Ignored my companion's .hook, although we fished faithfully for an hour." "Fish often quit bUlng thus abruptly, and I perhaps would -have have put this down as an ordinary case of this kind, notwithstanding the odd result of the changed rods, If, when -I handed my friend his rod, and told htm we might aswell reel in 'and go home, he hadn't mechanically dropped the minnow in on the sidew where the perch had been bit ing and soon had a pickerel in tow.- And when I put my bait in where only pick erel had been biting. I promptly hooked and landed a perch!" . "This'll'be enough," said I, "We'll go home!" ."And we pulled up and went home." MONTHLY FIELD MEET AMONG ENLISTED MEN - ' (Journal Special 8ervice.) 1.

Ordered tw Be- maln at This Port In Order to Partici pate In the Ceremonies Senators Pul ton and Mitchell Doing" AU tat Their , Power to Have the Ships Semalu. ; From the splendid efforts put forth by the various arrangement committees, it IS a foregone conclusion that the coming fall ; carnival of the Merchants' and juanuraciurers' Association, wmcn win open on Monday, September 14, under the patronage of the Multnomah Ama teur AthletlC 'Assoctation . will be the finest affair of its-kind ever given in the West The plan of the carnival is much more extensive than most people real ize, end it is only Upon, close examina tion that the true greatness of -the fair can be realized. Everything will be in readiness for the opening day, and particular care will be exercised so that everything will be gin, promptly at the .appointed hour. Although no official order has been Issued regarding an extension of time being allowed the warships Concord and Marblehead, yet the-ehttar-members feel almost certain that they will remain to participate in the ceremonies of the pageant It is understood that Admiral Glass feels kindly disponed to Portland and that he will act favorably upon the request of Senator Mitchell and other prominent officials who are making a great effort to have the ships remain. Senator Fulton, Governor Chamberlain and Mayor Williams have been In com munication with the president and the navy department, and are of the opinion that the department will deal kindly With the propoeMon. The presence of the Concord and Marblehead tthe port is significant enough to warrant the be lief that if there Is the slightest chance for thrfiu to remain that they will do so. The officers are of one mind in the mat ter and state that nothing would afford them greater pleasure than to assist Portland in having a successful exhibi tion. It U thought that Admiral Glass will issue his orders today regarding the disposition of the ships. " The Official Program.
