8kel Roach's masterly pitching: put a
crimp In I'eter Lehman's idea that hla
Oakland bunch were to have eaay pick
ins against the Dugs this week. The
big fellow aerved them up to the Oak
land awatamen in such a bunch of my
teries that they were able to aecure bat
four lonely hita off hla delivery. Skel
had everything and made the would-be
swatters look like the proverbial dirty
deuce in a new deck, when a hit would
mean a tally. Seven of the bunch from
across the bay took the oount of these,
and rambled to the aide of Mother Loh
man on the bench and endeavored to ex
plain the reason for fanning to the ven
erable pilot of the team.
Oscar Graham, the sorrel-top, who
winged m from the wrong side for the
Oaks, pitched something of a game him
self, and had he received fairly good
support in the fifth session the score
might have been curtailed to 1 to 0.
Oscar fanned six of the Brownies, but
am hied three to first on wide ones.
Jack McCarthy handled the doing by
his lonesome, as Jim McDonald was sent
over to Seattle to help Tom Brown
please the Puget sound cranks.
Right off the reel a close decision at
second by Umpire McCarthy put the
crowd in bad humor and showed effect
ually the advantage of the double um
pire system. Francks led off with a
single to center and kept right on- to
second because Drennen was alow in
handling the ball, and reached the mid
station on the aforementioned close d
clslon by McCarthy. Ganley sacrificed,
and Dunleavy's line drive, which was
caught by Spencer, cauaed Francks to be
doubled out at third. That was really
the only time the Oaks were at all dan
gerous, although In the seventh Julius
Strelh reached thjrd on wild throws by
Shea and Snnr, but as two were out.
Roach seJrTed down and fanned Dev
ereaux. Larry Schafley, the hard-hitting sec
ond baseman of the Oakland team, was
back at his old position yesterday, after
being out of the game for several weeks
with a badly sprained ankle. He played
an excellent game for one who ia still
somewliat lame.
Portland atarted scoring In the second
inning. Beck went out at first. Castro
then found one for two sacks. Ray
mond put the "King" on third with a
tap to Schafley. Phil Nadeau then hit
for two sacks to left field and an earned
run was scored for Portland.
The third and fourth Innings were
marked by some nifty fielding on the
part of both teems, but Oakland slipped
a cog In the fifth and aa a result three
Brownies registered. Shea led off with
a clean hit to center, which went
through Kruger, netting Shea ,three
sacks. Roach followed with on that
caxooned off Graham's mlt and Shea
scored. Spencer attempted a sacrifice,
on which Btrelb erred, allowing both
runners a life. Hurley's neat sacrifice
-lidvanced both men. Drennen hit for
two sacks, scoring Ruacn and Spencer.
This ended the run-getting and both
teams settled down and played gllt
edgadr.ball during the rest of the game.
Portland n'nrf Oakland line up again
this afternoon and Ike Butler will prob
ably oppose Helney Schmidt on the
rubber.
The Dugs are now in third place by
grace of the Loo Loos having Muffed
off a game to Seattle. 'Let us hope they
will hold this position for a while. The

Yesterday was mining congress day at

yesterday will hardly forget th cloa
and exciting finishes that were the order
of these events.
The mining congress handicap, ar
ranged especially in honor of the con
vention, was won by forest King after
a magnificent ride by I. Powell. The
son of Handsome got off second, but
piloted splendidly by Powell he took the
lead at the quarter and maintained the
same to the wire. Probably the great
est disappointment of the day was th
showing of Colonel Van In this race.
He got off badly but after .gaining third
position quit and finished last.
Sally Goodwin, the veteran racing
mare, again outgamed her field and won
as she pleased with F. Kelly up. In the
fourth event.
Black Cloud gave the fanciers of Llz-
sl Rice a scare In the third race byN
coming up from last position and press
ing th gray mare so closely at the
wire that many thought the black horse
had won.
My Surprise was easily the best InJ
the first race and was given a splendid
ride by Herbert.
Chickadee was another medium where
by the bookies gained at the expense of.
th talent who went to that horse heav
ily. Tullltt's ride In this event was not
up to his usual standard, and his mount

BRAVE OLD ADMIRAL
IS ON RETIRED LIST
(Journal Special Servlea.)
Washington, Aug. 24. With the re
tirement today of Rear-Admiral John
C. Watson the navy loses one of Its
ablest and most honorable and useful
officers. His career from the date of
his graduation from th naval acad
emy In 1860 has been full of honor and
credltand few officers of the navy have
seen more active service.
Admiral Watson belongs to a family
that has distinguished Itself In peace
and war since the early days of the
American republic. He was born In
Frankfort, Ky . August 34. 1842. Hla
father, Edward Howe Wataon. was a
skillful physician of the old school, and
his mother. Surah Lee Crittenden Wat
son, was a daughter of John Jordan
Crittenden, the famous Kentucky states
man, cfval of Henry Clay, governor at
one time of Kentucky and attorney-general
In William Henry Harrison's cabi
net. Admiral Watson entered the naval
academy in 1856 and graduated four
years later, standing litgrr th hi class.
He was Immediately assigned to the
rank of midshipman, and August 15,
1860, joined the Susquehanna In that
capacity for a cruise to Europe. While
he waa abroad the civil war broke out
and he returned at once to take part In
it.
He waa commissioned a lieutenant In
1862, and In January, 1864, was made
flag-lieutenant to Farragut. He waa
at the battle of New Orleans. Mobile
bay, Vlckaburg and Port Hudson. In
a letter to his eon Loyal during the war
Admiral Farragut tells him of young
