Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 7. Interest
In the coming contest betwen Loul
Long of San Francisco and George
Memslc of Portland, which is scheduled
for. tomorrow night. Is increasing each
day, and present indications point', to a
big, house. Memslo Is the favorite In
the betting. , ;
There appears to be something radi
cally wrong -with the team management
of the Portland Browns. This has been
In evidence throughout .the entire season
to some extent, but more notoriously ob
vlous during the present trip to Califor
nia. It seems strange that Portland.
with Its splendid directorate and offloera
and Its first-class collection of baseball
players, should not.be able to make a
better showing against teams that are
weaker, man for man, In every position
on the . team. There are some sensible
enough, to appreciate wherein , the trou
ble lies, but the great majority of fans
and even the directors themselves ift'e
ignorant of the true conditions of the
Internal workings of the nine.
It Is a well-known truism that a house
divided against itself will surely fall.
and it is also true that a ball team' that
does not work In harmony . will never
meet with success. ' Team work and har
mony go hand in hand. They are India
sponsible requisites in the composition
of a ball nine. It may sound unfair; to
state, but true nevertheless, that had
Portland been In charge of a competent
team manager this season their pen
nant percentage would have been much
higher, their chances for honors far bet
ter. No team can boast of a better or
ganization, a finer set of directors, more
logical and business like president a
more loyal and enthusiastic fandom than
the team that represents this city on
the diamond. The same evil that besets
the team today troubled the .team five
months ago, and will continue to do so
until remedied.
Directors Are Loyal
Everything that brains could suggest
or money devise, has been done for the
Portland Browns. The directors ant
fans at large certainly expect a fair
showing while the team Is on the road
and 4 better standing while at home.
This Is based on the. fact that a- team
away from home does not enjoy the
familarlty of Its own diamdnd so well as
It does its home ground. Still, a ball
team should be a ball team 'wherever It
s. The Browns' playing In Oakland
should display the same amount of team
work . that they would providing they
were playing - at Twenty-rourth . and
Vaughn streets. A strange . diamond
may affect fielding, but it should not
Interfere with batting or baserunnlng.
One of the chief faults of Portland this
year his been its slowness on the bases.
More men have died on third base than
would overflow a Chinese cemetery, and
the collection of players that have
passed away on the circuit Is sufficiently
large to equip an army' to fight the
sultan. . Some say, what has the man
ager got to ao wun oaserunningT a
playing manager who knows his busi
ness would show the men how to get
around the bases and when to steal, to
bunt, to sacrifice, to hit. to do anything
In order to advance a man. A stolen
base may seem a little thjng, but many
fames are jwon as the result of a single
Btoien base.
Bespect and Discipline
To secure respect a man must first
deserve and then demand it Should he
deserve It he will Invariably get it with
out any compulsion. Americans, as a
rule, like to work for those whom they
respect and admire. A horse or dog. If
kindness be shown them, will fight for
their master and toil for him at all
times. In the same thought discipline
In a ball team cannot be expected with
out It Is perfectly instituted. The Port.
land Browns are a decent set of fellows,
besides being first-class ball players,
Individually tbey are not surpassed by
any players in the league, and were they
perfectly handled they would, as a team,
rank far In the lead.
Where one man bunts when he feels
like it, another steals second if 'he is
in the humor and other strikes out If
certain player is on third, it Is quite
Apparent that something is wrong,
There Is nothing truer than the great
need of a competent, bright man to
handle the team, some good baseball man
no Knows tne giraiiSftajjummaiia re
spect and exact discipline: The pres
ent manager is all right tn his own way,
Is popular with a certain clique, but not
sufficiently strong to manage the Port
land Browns. It is said In all fairness
to himself and the team he represents
and the . club that employs him. This
paper has. fought for the Browns 1 nee
early In the, season end Is always willing
but at this time it seems eminently fair
to point out the weak spot In the team,
with the hope that' It will be rectified
The Browns still have a splendid chance
of Improving Its standing, and every

Popular manager of the Leather Work

cinch on second place and a chance to
overhaul the leaders, he gets man after

The latest addition to the retired list
is Twirler Carter,, who -was sent out to
run for Lynch, who had a bad leg,
Caused by sliding to second base In
Tuesday's game, and Carter came to
grief In the same way and in the same
place. His right ankle was badly
sprained, the ligaments were torn loose.
and he Is probably out of the business
for the rest of the season.
The list of players on the shelf at the
present time are Herr with a sore arm.

the game again on Monday; Iburg, laid
up in bed; Carter, Pabst and Lynch,
Who Is still able to hobble, while Leahy
has a sore shoulder and should be on,
the bench Instead of covering first
base.
The list of Injured men accounts for
the many errors that are charged up
against the snappy players of the San
Francisco . team, and it may result in
their surrendering second place to the
Senators before another week's play Is
made, as it ony requires that they lose
five games and the senators win the
same number to place Manager Mlque's

earlier In the season.
DESJX-XXX WATSOX SATS XO
(Journal , Special Service.)
Glasgow, Sept 7. Designer Watson
of Sir Thomas Llpton's cup challenger
Shamrock III today emphatically denied
that he. would design another challenger
for the America's cup. Watson seem-
ngly does not like the Inference that
foreign builders cannot compete with
the Americans.
Th story that Graeme Hunter, the
Scottish millionaire, would build a chal
lenger next year, is ridiculed here. It
is not believed 'that Mr, Hunter would
care to Incur the enormous expense
necessary to' build a cup challenger.
Among the - special , features of the
forthcoming M. A. A. "C crnyal that
premises to add materially to the 12
dayjjf merrymaking Jn store for th(
citizens of this -Stat? will be the kan-

exempt from its Jurisdiction and decrees.
A large patrol wagon will, bring the

machinery before the bars' of Justice.
Crimes of Omission will weigh as heavily
with the court as crimes of commission
and there will be no escape from Judg
ment ,,
This court will be In session dally
from 6 p. m. until the gates close. Con
fetti nights, may make the court work
overtime. , . ;
In the place of a German village the

many features known only to the "Vater
land." Access to It will be by a wide .
easy stairway and from It the crowds
In the carnival grounds will be taken In
at a glance. -The location selected for
the Wurtsburger strasse Is the west end
of the carnival grounds, .which by rea
son of Its elevation, will afford an ex
cellent view of the entire grounds, -
Portland has had country stores and
country stores,, but the country store in
contemplation by the M. A. A. C. this

have awakened the risibilities of the
