Three-Bagger Brings in Sol
and "Winning Run for
Portland Bobby Groom
Is All the Goods With the
Spheroid Few Hits.
Bobby Groom's masterful pitching and
Torn Madden's corking wallop of the
first ball pitched to him In tae aiatb.
Inning yesterday won for Portland by a
BoUtary run In the greatest game ever
played hem. Inning- after inning was
reeled off with dock-liks regularity.
Twice Seals perched contentedly on
third, but thers tr.y died. Once in tha
fourth a Beaver found his way to tha
'distant station, but ba also went tha
" way f hi predecessor i
It waa a grand Kama from every
standpoint With two exceptions tha
fielding was perfect. The shortstops
made an error each, but -their chances
were difficult, extremely difficult. Bas
aey and Casey yes, and Kid Mohler
pulled off aorae atopa that were almply
marvelous. Half the time that Bis
crowd in the grandstand waa ready to
coma to Its feet in tha excitement of
torn spectacular play.
But sifting out the beautiful and
rutin down to facta. It waa Bobby
Iter and Bobby there. Ha bad every
thing tha Renin wera larnorant of. They
made three hits, but one of them waa
pretty scratchy, and they wera scat

rot to base a, but tbey had to hug them

Portland got her score after this
fashion: There had been nothing-doing
In vrlaeo's half of the ninth. Things
did look bad when Mohler waa the re
cipient Of a free ticket ' But Bobby
turned on a secret steam valve and
Mir-ir . William fanned the air tariee.
Then' Melchlor batted a fly high in the
air to little Bassey,- who was always on
the spot. A moment later Melch was
followed by Roily Zieder. Roily fell
for one of Groom's slants, which fissled
into a fly that Casey toon care ox. -
Well. things were looking up Again,
although it was no cinch, the game
wouldn't mo Into an extra inning or so.

Incidentally Madden established himself
as a pinch hitter. v

Cooney was getting ready to beat it
for the keystone sack on the first ball
over. He didn't have to. Jones picked
a high ball out of his assortment,
which was to Mad's taste.
Swinging with all his strength Mad
den speared the sphere right on the
nose. ' There was an -awful report and

Little-' Bassey was the bright, glit
tering, glinting satellite when It came
to gathering in the flies. He gloved
tlipm to the right of him, to the left
of him and even to the rear of him.
His great running catch in the fifth
ws a thrilling piece of work. Piper
sent a low one that resembled a line
drive into left and Bassey sprinted af
ter it. When still several feet away
from where it was scheduled to pass,
he lunged into the air with a twisting
motion and actually caught the sphere
Jn both hands with has back facing the
home plate.

almost superhuman to grab the hard

Cooney who heaved the sphere to first
in time to catch him. Portland's work
was a repetition of the southerners',
though they did manage to force Raf

Jabbed the ball for a single. Ryan and
Danslg, following, were easy out", as
was Casey, who preceded him.
The Seals did better In the fourth
and for a moment it looked threatening.
Hildebrand singled and went to second
on Mohler's sacrifice. Hllde continued
on to third, but Cooney cams to the
rescue with two perfect stops and pre
vented him from scoring. Portland did
nothing In the fourth.
Both sides went one, two, three in the
fifth and sixth. But in the seventh in
ning things looked discouraging to the
faithful in the grandstand. Cooney's
error allowed Williams to reach the
Initial sack. Melchoir sacrificed him to
second, but he died there, as Zelder filed
out to Ryan and Cooney threw Piper out

In Portland's portion of the seventh
ths gloom gave away to immense
bunches of gladness. Johnson wss safe

Boer Vnholz, Strangest Craft That

of Joe Gans. ' '
By Will J. Slattery.
San Francisco, May 9. Just when
things began to look nice and rosy Xqf
the boxing game in this " city the AV
tell-Sulllvan bloomer was pulled.? eff.
and now all the opponents of tne game,
as well as the men who aspire to suaw 1
ceed the present ring of promoters Ore
up and hammering away with a view
to either driving the gang in power
back to the forests or else crabbing
the sport forever. , .
The last fiasco, coming as it did at
ths end of a string that - has been
handed out since the beginning of the
year, makes It look awfully bad. Though
the public glanced with suspicion upon
the match when the weights were
switched at the eleventh hour in order,
it was given out, to make Sullivan
shape up to more advantage with the
little featherweight champion, a big
crowd turned out. There was a gen
eral all around yell of disapproval ere
the first round had been reeled off and
when the fight was over the house was
in an uproar.

Tommy' Sullivan . collected his bet,

He heard rumors of the anxiousness of

wise enough to take the tip before he
was rough-housed. It was a nice, soft

He is gone and so is the public s money.
The fans are crying "stung again," but
It Is nobody's fault save theirs for
patronizing such a show.
Luke Marisch, the man who" promoted
the alleged fight, had always been a
great friend of Attell's up to the time
the blowoff came. He turned against
the little fellow slirhtlv at that min
ute, but it remained for the next day
for Marlsch's real displeasure to assert
itself and for Abe to show his cheap
ness in a very small way.
Attell was guaranteed S2.000 for his
bit of the house with the privilege of a
certain percentage or tne receipts pro
vided they -went over $5,600. Accord
ing to these figures Abe had Just $9.20
coming over and above the $2,000. That
he was not strong for overlooking any
bets was shown when he turned up on
the lob at 10 bells the next morning
and called upon Marisch for the paltry
sum.
A big orowd of sports waa hanging
around the promoters saloon and they
all purchased several rounds of drinks
while the little champ was passing out
?. bunch of talk and signing his recefpt
or the nine-twenty. Abe took a drink
of. water every time. When he had the

away in his back pocket, said farewell
to the boys and swung through the front
'door witnout Duying. mo wonder

Since the first day of the present
year when Attell boxed Owen Moran.
the little Britisher, at the Mission street
arena before a $16,000 house, the tiny
champion has been one of the principals
in every ngnr. tne city naa Known eacn
month. His -share of purse money for
the last five months has been slightly
over $15,000. Pretty mushy -picking
for a man who, though a champion,
never got more than $2,000 for a fight
in all his long ring career, before he
came hack to bunk the fans of the city
where he was born and raised and
learned all the fine arts of the boxing

street. for a -while. He can afford-to
stick arouhd now: and watch the other
fellows. It does, not- seem- likely that
Abe will ' figure In any more fights
around this village In the near future.
He has been against all the dead ones
In his class and unless a new grave
yard is discovered shortly, Abe win
be forced to take - to the bush country
or the east where he still believes he
can wade in and grab off some coin in
the six and 1 -round affairs, though
he played these -off the boards three
or four years ago when he started out
on his career of fame.
The supervisors have been asked, to
make an Investigation of the present
so-called "fight trust," composed of the
tnree cjuds wno now receive light per
mits In rotation. Ths fans who have
recently been stuns; and ths opposition
forces working against the promoters
Gleason, Marisch and Berger ssy that
the ring now in control is working just
like .the old-time Graney-Coff roth
trust and that the game will get worse
and worse as the months pass by un
less something la done by the authori
ties. .
Somebody has put a bug In the ear
of Chief of Police Biggy and he has
started a quiet little investigation on
his own accord. Biggy is one of the
busiest citlsens the city has ever
known. All you have to do is to whisper
to him that something is stirring and
he Is right on the Job with tha gum
shoes. He has a couple of sleuths
working, now and they nave been in
