- Batteries Moore and McLean;. Mey
ers, Wheeler and Wilson and Bradbury.
. Tragedy, comedy. . melodrama, serlo.
comic and Semi-senous trsgedy were
enacted at Recreation Park yesterday.
The faithful fans who sat through Sat'
urday's long, tiresome, and upsetting
contest are certslnli entlUed ta m3ali
for life and trophies for exceeding cour
age and bravery. No such tall gams
oyer Before graced the boards of Port'
land balldom and It is to be hoped that
no other such match will ever again be
Inflicted upon the patience and good'
news or tne local fans.
Those who love to see a free batting
contest were given, thetg money a worth,
those who- are fond of seeing the ball
booted all around, the. field wexeo-sat'fs-fled
and those who cherish the prospect
of witnessing a general melee In every
department could go home early and die
happy.
The truth la this: Meyers was batted
for eight hits and six runs In the first
three Innings and retired In favor of
Wheeler. This worthy was knocked
from pillar to post in the fourth" for
six . hits and' as many- runs. In the
fifth he was lambasted for five hits
and four runs. In the sixth he was
touched up for three safe hits and as
many tallies. In the seventh the locals
made their )astrun, : That was a suf
ficiency. ..-.:....! . . . .
During spare spells the visitors found
Moore to their liking. This was the
first game pitched by the ex-Columbia
twiner and he. was somewhat nervous.
He had a hard time In locating the
plate and inJiis endeavor he managed to
pass 10 men to first. Anyway Portland
won the game and the beat story Is
found In the score. Mitchell's, McCre
dle's and Smith's batting were the fea
tures. Here Is the tals. Score; .

ISueclal Dlapateh br Laaaed Wire te lb Journal) "
San Francisco, June - 2S. On . the .
Fourth of July Los Angeles will try '
Ite hand at. the daylight fight game,
when Frankle Nell and Abe Attell will
be sent Into the ring. These lads have
been on the verge of having It out a
number of time but various things '
have happened to prevent them getting
together. This time It looks like a
go and for the sake of the long-suffering
light fans It - Is to be hoped that tne '
event will come oft on time and, bs -worth
the patronising.. ..,;.,.
Like all affairs In. which very little
fellows are the principals, the content
Is not creatine nidu. xMlinuni i.
pk not by any means 'preceded by A the '
lever or expectancy that was noticeable
when the dste of the late - lamented
Herrera-Nelaon flssle was approaching.
For all that there Is every, reason ;
for. expecting an entertaining bout., al- '
though for reasons whioh I will pres .
antly explain the event may cot , be
marked by frequent collisions' and enucb
blood-letting."'- , i-
Nell la a sturdy youngster, with the
fighting Inatlncts of a . game chicken.
He Is a stiff puncher and fairly clever. "
but It Is cleverness thst shows only
when the other man la willing to stand
close and cut loose at a fast gait, i -,
Attell Is superlatively . clever, as ...
much so In faot that when he makes a
specialty for defensive work he can
convert what opened up like a prom
ialng contest Into a -tedious spec ta ale.
In this particular connection I must"
ssy that ths go between Eddie Hanlon
and Attell at Woodward's wss : the
dreariest event I ever looked across Topes
at, and considering the ground I have
covered this Is saying- a good deal., '
AMeU's Ohaaoea (rood,
This time it may be that Attell will
show the best that la In him. It Is to '
be Jioped he wilL It Is said that this
Is one of the few times he has had a
bit. the better of the weights -and "ha.
faot that he la tackling a lad who la
naturally a few pounds lighter than
himself may spur him to fast lighting.
It Is said further that there la gen
uine jealousy, between the Attells and
the Nails and anything la that line al
ways conduces to spirited milling. One
thing is certain.' ' Th fighting, whether
it be good, bad or Indifferent, will In
all probability be striotly on th level.
The Herrera-Nelsoa bungle Is a hard
subjaot lo get sway fromL LlkotoPStj
affairs In which there Js no commonly
accepted explanation It Is contlnuslIy
cropping up when, least-expected ' and
th matter Is likely to continue a fruit-' "
ful source of argument until some en
tirely new and highly probable version
of the flssco Is sprung. " .
A fear days ago I thought I was on
the track of "astounding revelations,- '
I received a long typewritten communi
cation from a BakeraAeld sport In which
thoss who attempted' to saddls the en
tire blsme of the episode on Herrera.
were handled without glovas.
' Said my correspondent In on portion -of
his missive: "Herrera has still a ,
trump card to play In connection with
that affair In Los Angeles snd If sub
jected to more unjust criticism he may
play if
I glanced hurriedly through the let
ter for further references to whst Her- -rera
had In reserve, but this Is all I
