DIAMOND CLlSTENINGS
Jake Thlelman and Louta Caatro had
their .batting clothes on yeaterday, and
were there with the wallop when a bit
waa .' needed. Ham lberg also; found
Bobby Keefe to his liking.
This la the -first time Portland has
beaten Keefe thla seaaon, and they wen!
to him in fine shape. .'
Another of the bush leaguerers ran eg
in a pinch yesterday, and it waa necea
aary to put a good man in his place.
Mike Lynch was hurt in Friday's
game, and big Overall took hla place.
Ovlo made a bungle that waa ooatly.
Van Buren. Portland'a former center
fielder ' baa had a disastrous aeason.
His aplendld record here last year Se
cured blm a Job with Brooklyn In the
National League from which club he
waa tranaferred to the Philadelphia
team,; with which organisation Van
played good ball, but could not get
along with "Crabby" Jack Doyle, and he
waa released to Kanaaa City In the
American aasoclatlon.- Last week Van
received the blue envelope from the K.
C team, and has gone to his-home in
Marseilles, 111., where he will rest up
awhile, before' seeking another berth.
The . Portland fans would " be well
pleased to see Van again adorning a
Portland uniform.'
Hurley" on f Iret,-Bpehcer6n SecbhnV
Campbell on third and Raymond at
short. ' How's that for a pennant win
ning bunch In the fastest minor league
In the country -
Harry Spencer, the youngster who
played second for Portland on their
f lrat appearance heme thia aeason, and
who waa taken alck and went home to
recuperate. Is to rejoin the Browns
shortly. -
The Los Angeles correspondent ofa
San Francisco exchange has the fol
lowing to say regarding Morley'a team:
"I bats to keep jabbing away on the
same old text but if we don't get some
bitters pretty soon, this baseball team
of oura will wind up In the amoke for
thla coming half eeaaon. Sure Mike.
"With the opening of the new aeaaon
right upon ua. and the two-pitcher aya
tem to be tried out the fans are hope
fuL There la nothing like wiping off
the slate and beginning all over again,
and you know what the poick says
about hope springing eternal.
But for mine, I can't aee any flag
down here until theae Indians begin to
JUjUwlng on the ball and aap It into the
rlDe brown autumn.
"Can't win games without hltsa-can't
get hits without hitters can't get
hlttera unless you sign 'em. Does that
look reasonable to youT"
It takes a team of gool ball players
who are also hitters to make a ahowing
In thla league. For Instance, notice the
Seattle and Tacoma teama. Morley la
after a couple of good batters for the
Angela - -:.,'.. J -""".
, Jack Orlm. the former manager of
the Portland team of 1001. Is not the
Jack Orlm who waa recently released
aa manager of the Peoria team. Our
Jack Grim, after an unaucceaaful at
tempt at piloting "the foTtunearcY-the
Columbia. D. C, team In the South At
lantic league, waa released, and at pres.
ent la umpiring in that league. The
Peoria Jack Grim la the former Na
tional league catcher. .
Prealdent Bert will give bis umpires
another shift next week. Jack Mc
Carthy will move on to Los Angelea
and Jack O'Connell, ' who has yet to
make hla first appearance at Recrea
tion park thla aeaaon, will, take hla
place. Tom Brown will -get ordera to
double up with J Ira McTJonala at Port
land. A
Bill Hurley,' contract jumper and ret
of Dugdale. arrived in Portland yeater
day with the intention of playing with
Portland. The National association has
blacklisted Hurley and Prealdent Bert
has received Instructions not. to allow
Hurley to play In thia league. The I'a
clfle Coast league also IJks a count
against Hurley, who jumped Parke Wit
eon last year, alphas time of the war
when the Seattle magnate waa bard
pressed for players. The league passed
a resolution prohibiting any of these
contract jumpers from playing in this
league, end this same resolution pre
vented Fred Kly from eecuiing Hulae-
man and Jack Lawler laat aprlng. It
aeema as though Dugdale will meet
with aome opposition In the effort to
play thla man, who, it la rumored, la
to succeed Beck. ' .

(Special IHapatch by Leasod Wire to The Journal)
San Franclaco. July 10. Some of thi
8an Franclaco matchmakers would like
to have a little heart to heart talk with
Jimmy Gardner. They think if they
could induce him to sign, up with Joe
Gans there would be a great chance of
clearing that portion of the pugilistic at
moaphere which is stationary above the
lightweight clasa.
Cvery one. acquainted with tne pugu
latlo aUuaUoa kno wg that Gona baa been
the bogle man of the weight division re
ferred to for 1 yaara. All the rlalng
young paletacea have ' refuaed point-
blank to meet him and moat of them are
keeping themaelvea in abort, clothes, so
to apeak, so aa to help out the Illusion
that they are not in the same row with
Baltimore Joe. uane la largely 10 omme
for all the overgrown featherweights at
present in the bualneas,
Please, Jimmy, do oonsent to taae
a whack at Joseph. From what we bear
you have a mighty good chance of whip
ping him. and think, of the order that
would aprlng from chaos If you were
man enough to take the au -conjuring
negro's measure . . :
Challengers would aprlng up on every
side and sll the 1 o'clock and t 1 clock
117 and 130 pound featherweights would
declare- themaelvea fullblown light
weights. '
If for nothing else but for the sake of
peopling the lightweight division you
should do thla for us, jimmy. . At pres
ent It is the most lonesome neck- In the
whole of the pugilistic woods.
Jimmy Brltt, who ranks with Jim, Cor-
bett aa a raconteur, haa aome amusing
atorles to tell in connection with his re
cent trip eaau One haa reference to the
cordial treatment he received. '
It appeara that the leading sportsman
vied - with one - another .."Jn - their en
deavors to make the Sun Franclaco lad
feel at home when be reached New York.
Among those who telephoned . Brltt at
hla hotel that they would be around to
aee him were Jim Corbett and Bob Flts
Simmons. -Jimmy stands well with eac
of the ex-champlona of the world, and
he knows that there is no love lost be
tween the one-time rivals. -
Waa on Tenterhooks.'
Brltt says bs was on tenterhooks for
fear Fitsslmmons and Corbett would call
on him at the same time. ' Such an era
barraaatng situation was averted, how
ever, and Brltt accepted invitations to
spend a few days With each of the old
time -heavyweights at . their seaalde
homes. .
. Fits when he 'met Brltt wanted to
grab him and carry him off to Benson
hurst, but Jimmy explained that be waa
to be Corbett's guest at Bayalde and felt
aa though he ought ' to visit Corbett
first
. "That's right." said Fits. You go to
Bayalde first, for when Corbett hears
you have been to my place he'll never
apeak to you again
All of which suggests that the fires of
Carson are atlll amolderlng. It almost
looks as if old man Fitsslmmons la
doomed to follow pugilism ior a living
until the hinges of hla arma refuae to
work. He retlrea often enough, in all
conscience, but the exlgenciea of life
will not permit hire to continue retired.
.During recent sorties Into the foot
light region Fits haa dlacovered that
long pending divorce between prise-ring
and atage la threatened; in other words.
that the. publlo haa about reached the
conclusion that a fighter's proper sphere
of action Is a reslned platform hemmed
In with ropes and atakea.
Nor was Fits the first to discover thla
Jim Jeffries long months ago made up
hla mind that there la no money - In
atage work. He has parted with bis
booking agent, genial Joe. Egan, and it
is a noteworthy fact that Jim Corbett
and other famed fighter-actors have been
trying to break away from the show
business.
ltamay be that the boxers who drop
the five-ounce gloves for the -sock and
buskin occasionally are simply experi
encing a share of the dull times which
have encompaased all things theatrical
for a aeaaon or two.
Time will tell, of eouraa, but until
proof to the contrary la forthcoming,
the writer will hold to the belief that
plays built around ring champions are
no longer the vogue.
Vaudeville, no doubt, will continue to
be a profitable field for stage-struck
scrappers, provided alwaya that they
have some special talent for that line
of work. The fact that a man la the
king of the Queenebery realm will not
help him much In vaudeville unless be
haa .the ability to entertain.
Trom Hecent Events,
Judging from recent eventa, it will be
no hardship for Fits to take up fight
ing again as a regular thing. His work
with O'Brien waa a veritable surprise
to the sports of San Franclaco, who re
membered the Cornishman's wretched
performance with George Gardner In
this city and had about concluded that
Lanky Bob had reached Ihe end of his
tether aa a fighter.
To appreciate thoroughly Fitsslm
mons' work at Philadelphia a week ago.
It haa to be borne in mind that. In addi
tion to being about the faateat and
shiftiest glove wlelder before the publlo
at the present time, O'Brien la a special
lat at alx-round boxing. . He haa done
little else but engage In contests of that
length for yeara and Is as much at
home In a go of ' that character as
Arthur -Duffey Is In a sprint of 100
yarda.
O'Brien waa beaten- at bis own game,
and If he thinks that Fits Is being given
too much credit in the connection he
should agitate for a more extended con,
teat at aome point where mayors and
commissioners of public safety are not
given to meddling with the sport of the
ring. , - ...

GREAT BILLIARDIST .
MAY NOT. PLAY AGAIN
Latest reports from Paris are to the
effect that Jacob Schaefer was a very
sick man during the contest with Louis
Cure in Paris last month. , Schaefer,
however, won by 11 points In 1,000, play
ing alx nlghta.
The results of this match confirms the
report that Schaefer la not in bla old
form, and that the "Wlsard" Intenda to
retire from, match play. It alao indi
cates why. Instead of challenging Vlg-
naux for the championship emblem or
acoeptlng the repeated challenges of But
ton, to whom be forfeited the emblem.
Schaefer took an eaaler opponent in
Cure. - - - - '
In defeating Cure by only 11 points In
six nights' play while 111 and unfit to
play in hla, old-time form, it la not dif
ficult to forecast the result In a game
with either Vlgnaux or Sutton. The
retirement of the former champion will
be looked upon with regret by bllliard-
latg all over Aha, world, ,
uitrxsa's ivov.
It's the custom to talk of the umpire -As
a man who la risking hla life
'Mid the whirlwind of wildest excite
ment. 'Mid the ebb and the flow of the strife.
You hate htm all through the perform
ance, You yell for a share of hla gore, '
And then, when the battle is over, .
You respect the brave fellow still more.!
You think of htm facing the players.
Gone frantlo about a decision.
You think of bla standing In showers
Of bottles and hoots of derision!"
But think of the fate of an umpire
Had be tried to play arbltlng hero
In a eonqueat among tha old Romans '
In the days Of that jolly sport, Nero!
TJmptrlcue out to the lions!"
If a third strike wasn't quite over
Why, compared to the days of the Ro
mans,
The umpires are living In clover!
Think, too, what would borne to an um
pire, .
In the gnllont old days medieval.
If be called out , a knight stealing
second-
Why, ther'd have been one big armored
upneavai: ,
"Zounds, 'sdeath, we Will Jouet with the
caitiff 1
Py'ra ladlklns, soak blm with lancea '."
The man who umpired in those times '
Waa running most desperate chances.
But now he's the boss of the diamond
He keeps his clutch right on the throt-
tie,'
And nothing ever annoys blm,
Except an occasional bottle!

The appended story of bow New Torte,

Is publlahed for the benefit of Coast
league managers, who maintain that
buab leaguers are more valuable to a
team than experienced pi ay era:
"It paya to have a winning ball team.
John T. Brush will bear out thla state-!
ment. By an outlay' of a few thousand
dollars, paltry . enough in comparison
with the thousands on thonaands they
have returned for the Investment, a few.
Baltimore playera a couple of years
sga were Induced to Jump the American
league and join their fortunes, with the
National leagua Theae players were
John J. MoOraw, Joe MoOinnlty, Roger)
Breanaham, Dan MoOann. Jack Cronln,
Joe Kelley and 81 Seymour. ..
"It waa at Oral intended and the orlg.
Inal deal was to transfer all of thoa
playera to the New York club, but John
T. Brush, who helped to engineer the
deal and who waa at the time the owner 1
of the Cincinnati club, begged so hard,
for Kelley- and Seymour that those'
playera were allowed to Join the Reds.'
To Andrew Fraedmaa. belonga the credit
of originating the scheme that has given'
New Xork City a ohamplonshlp team..
''By that now famous coup and at an
outlay that seems ridiculously small,
according to tha results attained, twof
ciuds that were in the nnanolal dol-i
drums were strengthened' so that now
they are the breadwinners of the Na
tional league circuit. Manager Mc
Graw did not atop with the players he
had, but he went after Gilbert, who had
remained In Baltimore,' secured Dahlen,
Warner. Mertea, Devlin. Ames, McCor
mlck, Wlltse and others, so that the
team under McGraw Is second to none
In the whole country.' '
"This putting a padlock on all the
profit of previous -yeara la vary ex
pensive procedure for the present, as.
the Boston trimmers have found to
their serious cost, and still the National -league
olub Is drawing bigger : crowds
this season than for several years past,
and if the management hadajiad foresight
enough to lay out a little money to '
strengthen its team the drawing power
would have been Increased tenfold at
least. - - 1 -.- -
"Just look st the phenomenal suocess
that has com to the Robinsons in St.
Louis by their securing such star pitch-'
era at Kid Nlchola, Jack Taylor and Joe
Corbett. They will be able to declare
a dividend this year for the -first time
In several seaaone. Those owners who
are progreaalv and 1 willing to take
