Bmlllng "Schmidtty" wag pitted against Jake Thlelman and as far aa uii.hin mtmm concerned, honora were about even, but when It came o the um pire our Jake received the beat of H on base decisions, but suffered somewhat on balls and strikes. Jack McCarthy had an off day and when he very prop erly called Schlafly safe, when that Worthy atole home In the sixth Inning, the small Sunday crowd, who were In a bad humor on account of the weather and some previous decisions became demonstrative and threatened all sorta of tilings to the unfortunate official. To add to hla troublee, several of the players became hostile, and expreased a desire to argue aome of the fine points of the game, and McCarthy got hla dander up. and when Dunleavy became abusive, he got ehaaed from the game. Previous to thla Pete Lohman had been politely requested to vacate the premlaes and was forced to leave the field under escort. Bill Devereaux. Morry Steel man. Bob Qanly. Bill Hurlay and several other players started gab festa with the daughty little umpire and were fined. By long odds It was the scrappiest game seen here In a long time. Mc Carthy's work at tlraea was a trlfls bad, bus he certainly demonstrated quite clearly that ha was running the per formance and kept the unruly players under his thumb pretty well, considering the way things were breaking. Portland registered the first run in the fourth Inning, when Hurley walked and stole second. Nadeau singled to left and Hurley scored. In the sixth. Dunleavy. Schlafley and Kruger singled In succession, although Spencer ahould have fielded the latter"a bit. and one run acored. Strieb sacri ficed, advancing Schlafley and Kruger. Then came the decision at the plate that aroused the Ire of the fans. Schlafley aaade several fake starta for the plate and Thlelman was wise to the fact that a double steal was to be attempted and held a conference with Steel man. Devereaux flew to Campbell, making two out. Schlafley then took a chanca for the plata, and Steelman, aa uaual. made a fluke of touching htm. and Mc Carthy said Safe!" and the crowd howled thief! robber! etc., but the de cision was correct; for Steelman failed to touch the runner until be had regis tered. It was a clever play on Schlafley's part, and Is the second time that worthy has atolen home on Thlel man and Steelman thla week. Spencer led off for Portland In the eighth by securing a pass.

VICTORIA DEFEATS PORTLAND STICKERS IM WELL-FLAYED MATCH VIsUTOHS COKE TWO OOAL8 IsT LAST QUA AND TRIUMPH OTBB LOCALS I TKOBOVaSXiT EN JOYED THE CONTEST. The Portland lacrosse team went down to t to 0 defeat yesterday altar- noon at Hawthorne park at' ths handB and sticks of the strong Victoria club. The cohteat was a moat enjoyable one and thoroughly pleased the falr-alsed crowd that attended. Were It suffi ciently known In this city that auch a splendid exhibition of lacrosse was being played here yesterday, there Is little doubt but that the grounds would not be large enough to aocommodata the spectators. As it was. ths game was not sufficiently patronised to warrant the local club bringing the crack teams to this city. There Is no getting around the fact that lacrosse Is one of the most interesting games in the category of outdoor sports, and the young men of this city who have undertaken to put the game on a firm footing here deserve commendation for their efforts. Of course, the day was not ideal for the snort, yet the match was of the variety that warranted a larger attendance. Portland was pitted against a team that holds high rank In the lacrosse world, and for the loss of yesterday's game there ta no disgrace for the home players. In truth, the visitors were slightly outplayed In the first two quar ters, ths Portland players displaying more cleverness snd generalship. At the beginning of the third quarter rain be gan to fall, and this had a bad effect on the locals, as they slipped' all over the field. The Victoria boys wore rub ber cleats on their shoes, which enabled them to hold their ground very well, while the Po inlanders were skating in all directions. During the game Portland had many chances to score, but the shooting wss not accurate. Victoria played a vigorous game tn the last quar ter, and when least expected Peele shot the ball Into the net after five minutes of play. The play was a pretty one. Six minutes later Morris shot another goal, making the final score 2 to 0. For Vlctoris, Peele. Belfrey and Morris put up a corking good game, while Oddy, Hogue. Laurence, Met ance ana uraaen did the best work for Portland. Considering that Victoria Is a crack aggregation, and that Portland played her a 2 to 2 game at Astoria on Fri day, yesterday's contest may, be reck oned as first class from a local stand point. There was not roughness dis played, the cutting of Mollis' Up being attributed to an accident. The lineup was: Portland. Position. Victoria. Dr. Braden Goal Larimer A. L.

The Portland ball team, balls, bats, baggage and Dugdale, left last night for Ban Francisco on a two weeks' trip. What the gods hava In store for the Brownies no on can tell, but it Is safe to say that the Portland men will have to atep lively to keep out of the dungeon while in California1. Portland and Oak land will open at Oakland tomorrow and nine games will be played with Lohman's men. Ths following week Portland will visit the land of orange blossoms snd flowers and play six games with Jim Morlsy's sngels. With this prospect. IS hard games, and the smaahed-up con dition of the Browns, Portland's chances are not the brightest. Bhould anything happen Steelman, Portland will be minus a catcher, as Shea was left at home, and should an lnflelder be crippled Dugdale has no utility man, aa Campbell was also lsft at home. Even with the dark olouda on the scene, the hopes of the Portland fans are the highest, and they expect to see Portland make a fair showing. There is no getting around the fact that Portland will be up against a hard proposition for the next two weeks. Oakland la playing a hard and consistent game and a team that beats her will surely know that it was in the game,. Oakland la in rare form now, and It Is pears to prunes that the commuters will be out of the cellar this time next week Without prejudice towards manager or players. It must be said of the Browns that their Infield is lamentably weak and badly disorganised. One day they will play a brilliant game, and the next-performance will be so stale that the angels would weep If they had paaaes to the contests. This tn and out business, propping up poor players and stuffing their batting and fielding averages through ths aid of a "hired man," will not produce the desired results. San Fmnclsco found herself with a weak team two months ago and Manager Har ris promptly went east and secured first-class talent. All the good players In the country are not dead yet. and Portlanders would like to see a few new faces. Drennen doesn't appear fast enough for thts league. iadeau has not been playing the game of which he is capable, and Phil knows the reason why. Castro haa been playing a stas- right field, but not Kitting up to the standard. The trouble, however, Is not with the few players who are continually being abused by the "hired man," but right in the midst of the team, where discretion should prevail and a wise head rule. It la not "knocking" either to state that Portland la poorly captained. In truth, there are many Ills that beset the Browns, and if Manager Dugdale Is as wise as his backers declare, he should be able to see wherein he blunders. It might have been too late for Dugdale to strengthen his nine materially before the first season closed, but it is not Too late now for Manager Dugdale to give Port land a winning team for the remainder of the season.

Seattle. Wash.. Aug. 19. There Is now an all-American telesranh line to Alaska. The cable ship Burnslde spliced the cable that connects Seattle and Valdes, at a point about 10 miles north of Seattle, at .4:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon. For several hours previous to the joining of the two ends numerous messages had been sent to Sitka by guests who were aboard the Burnslde end answers re ceived. . 1 Hundreds of cltlsens cheered, whistles tooted and the bands played the "Star Spangled Banner." About tOO of Seat tle's prominent cltlsens went out on the steamship Queen and wltneaaed the splicing of the line that gives the United States government a most important link in the land and cable lines that the government la now constructing to all Important towns In Alaska. After the two ends of the cable were on the Burnalde, it took two hours and 10 minutes to complete the splice, when the huge wire was hung over the side of the Burnslde and dropped In about tOO feet of water. Wire Congratulations. The chairman of the committee on ar rangements, T. J. Flynn, received mes sages from President Roosevelt, st Oys ter bay; Senator Levy Ankeny of Walla Walla, Charles W. Fairbanks of Indian apolis, Senator A. O. Foster of Tacoma. Chief Signal Officer A. W. Greeley of Washington, D. C; Melville E. Stone. New York City; Howard Elliott, presi dent of the Northern Pacific railroad, New York, and George B.

One of the oldest cable experts in the United States, Colonel Allen, had charge of -the laying Of the cable, which Is 800 miles long sttd coat 11,060 a mile. He assisted In the laying of the cable to Vancouver Island 10 years ago. After the Burnslde Is overhauled, which will be In about six weeks, she will begin laying the Valdes line. Telegraph rates to northern points have been greatly reduced by the gov ernment. The tolls to southeastern Alaska points are a quarter or a third of what they are around by way of Dawson over the Canadian wire, and while Juneau yesterday was several hours distant from the states by wire, today it Is within 10 minutes.
