By Will J. Blattery.
San Francisco, July 4. The Pacific
'r Coast Baseball league apparently will be
up against a baaeball war next season
' that from present indloatlone promises
to rival the great strife between the
National league and the old Brotherhood

ten a smaller scale. Ban Francisco will

, posing force will be the California State

ii Into the camp of the enemy last week.
;. when Its directors got together and matte
-ready to equip a baseball park In the
'metropolis and put a fast team her.
The powers behind the throne of the
'.coast league saw this coming many
"months ago, but they were doing the
;best they could in the meantime to stall
, t trouble and pass the matter over as
. lightly as possible. Finally, realizing
("that there was no chance ror pmcs,
Jf, they were forced to take the bit in thir
itteetn and make reauy to meet uie ni-
tacking forces.
'.' It looks as though the brush organ
ization will be prepared to make a strong
fight. Several prominent capitalists are
; going to the bat for them, the strong
'' man being James Nealon, father of the
former Pittsburg first baseman and a
A. man worth J600.000. Besides volunteer
ing his coin, Nealon has acted the part
' ot the missionary" and gone out and duj
up other live ones whose pocketbooka
probably will be at the disposal of tha
state league for such a time at least ns

failure stares them In lha face.
And while the state l'Murua mei a.-e

"What do you think I amT A boob or
something. Get out of tha game now.

"Jack, Jack, you can't put ma Out of
the game," pleaded Hllde. "I was not
roasting you. That was mv hit and run
signal. Mohler gave It to me and I have
to us it every time I come up with men
on bases ''
Turning around. Hllde again began to
abuse the indicator man, who had no re
dress during tha balance of the gafae.
But It was th"e last time. After the
contest. O'Connell went to Mohler and
Van Haltren and warned them that If
ever they gave such hit and run signals
to their players again, he would, hold

he was being kidded.
T preparing to cut in on the territory of
the coast league, tha magnates of tlie
.latter are losing no time In shaping
ikout their six or eight club circuit for
''the coming season! There is no quos-
tlon -hut that the league will be cn
larged next year. The very act of the
r state league In declaring war and malt
htnavpreparatlons to place a team in San
Fratfcisigo would indicate this. The
question la now will the circuit be made
i up of six or eight teams? Nobody seems
able to answer this at present and the
chances are that nobody will know what
the coming layout will be till after the
a.nnual meeting of the magnates next
. winter.
i Kd Krlpp. the Sacramento sporting
man. who was granted the capital city
4 franchise by President Ewlng on condi-
f"tion that the circuit would be enlarged
aeems to have taken it for granted-that
the deal is on, for he has already spni
thousands of dollars in grading his biff
lot in Sacramento and getting In ra.i'ii
, ness for the opening of the season. His
., activity was the principal Ttfiing that
stirred the state league officials up.
They took it for granted that the coast
league people would beat them to ho
t'Play and they therefore wad-ad Into tho
'fight and announced their i:itent'un of
, breaking Into San Francisco with a
strong team. How they are KOlnjr to get
. this team together is a secret, but thty
, pay that they can make good, so all the
, fanH4n do is to await developments
Fight promoter I, like Marisch. has a
swiet attraction for the fans on the
the world's middleweight champion, and
Jim FJynn, the fighting Pueblo fireman,
go so rounds for him at tho Coliseum
Marisch made the match qultely and thus
oeat Jimmy (. of froth, tlie Mission street
arena man, to the services of Ketchel
who Is now one of the greatest drawing
cards in me ring.
Flynn Is a mighty tough fellow. He
went 20 hurricane rounds with Tommy
Burns at Los Angeles less than two
years ago and also fought Jurk Twin
Sullivan to a standstill twice. He Is one
of the few white men who would take
a chance against Jack Johnson, fighting
12 rounds against the big smoke before
taking the sleep producing kick.
Ketchel is already a 2 to 1 shot Over
Flynn, his recent performances raising
his stock loo oer cent in the estimation
of the local followers of the game. Tim
mill promises to be a hurricane affair
while it lasts and it does not figure to
go more tnan 10 rounds.
K " v :J ':$
Although Walter McCredle has his
band of Beavers right up at the top of
the heap and the ordinary fans believe
.'that things are breaking nice and fine
. for the leader of tho baseball headlln
rs, he Is sweating blond dally and his
"troubles aro piling up faster and faster
according to his own statements. Mao's
.principal torture at the present time Is
Illness and threatened Illness in his
v squad and he even has to sterilize the
bats, balls and mitts of the players be

The cause of the unrest Is the mumps.
- Last week In Los Angeles, another epi
demic of the pesty disease broke out

Jesse Garrett on the fly. Jesse whs

FORTOURNAMEHT
Woman Tennis Champion
Will Take Long Restr
Miss Hotchkiss Coming.
Portland will not see May Sutton, the
world's woman tennis champion. In the
July tourney if the little wonder ad
heres to the advice of her physician,
which sh has devoutly promised to do.
Much disappointment has been ex
pressed locally over the fact that Miss
Sutton will not como north as a con
testant. It was planned to match her
witn .Miss Hazel Hotchkiss of Berke
ley, the co;ist champion, and Miss Amy
Heitshu, the Oregon champion, for the
championship of this state. However,
it is believed that Miss Hltchklss will
come north for the Irvington tourna
ment. Every arrangement has been made to
entertain a laro number of nlavers
from without the Hate, and when the
first set is railed Tuesday, July 14, the
classiest players in the northwest will
line up on opposite slues of the net.
While Mi'ijs Sutton would have added
materially to the interest in the tour
nament had she found it possible to
attend, the play will not suffer from her
absence. Miss Sutton has been playing
strenuously without much rest for four
years' and now she believes she U in
need of it, not for present 1M so much
as for her physical condition In the
fulure.
Perhaps discussion among die racquet
wleldi-rs at present is centered most
on the men and women's singles. Tho
victory in the men s op. n -v-nt carries

Los Angeles, July 4. Refer Jim
Jeffries this afternoon declared the
fight between Packey McFarland of Chi
cago and) Freddie Welsh, the English
lightweight, a draw at the end of 26
rounds of clever boxing. The decision
was met with a storm of disapproval.
a majority of the spectators being of
the opinion that the stockyards scrap
per had clearly won.
McFarland was far the stronger when
tire fight ended and in the final round
he knocked Welsh down with a clean
right to the Jaw and had his man In
distress. The little Britisher came back
and fought gamely, but It required all
his cleverness to stall off a knockout
in the final seconds of the contest,
though he was fighting savagely at the
bell- .

over his stockyard opponent. But Packey
became stronger as the fight progressed
and a vast majority of those at the
ringside thought he was enwueu iu me

The TcFarland-Welsh fight was an
even aff.iir upv to the ninth round, when
Welsh, who had been boxing in ex-

hammering McFarland viciously In tha
infighting and avoiding McFarland's
well meant swings.

It Is understood that J. C. Tyler of

There will be a new tronhv. the John

probably have closer competition than
last season and will have to DlaV a

There will be no lacrosse played in
Portland this season and the great Kng
gllsh game stands a chance of dying
out In the entire northwost. Last sea
son Portland was represented by a fair
ly good team, but It was found neces
sary to import a number of players to
bring the play up to the required stand
ard Imposed ..y the good teams of tha
sound. The expense was heavy and the
development of younger players held
back on account of the presence of the
semi-professionals.
This season no attempt has been
made to push the game forward locally.
There are only about five good players
in Portland now, and while theyare In
love with the sport, they do ffot feel
disposed to piay any this year. There
are few teams In the American cities
of the northwest, though the game
flourishes across the line.
Trl-City league games scheduled for
today:
West Portland vs. East Portland, at
vaugnn street.
AArrH Hn tn nl 3 a 1 a m
Vancouver vs. St. Johns, at Williams
avenue grounds.
Umpires assigned for the day:
Charles Giles at Vaughn street.
Fred Prevost at galem.
Kd Rankin at Williams avenue.
While the Trl-City league has not
officially closed a deal for the new
ball park on Williams avenue, the re
fusal is in the hands of the executive
board, and some definite arrangement
will soon be made. The new park Is
small, but adequate to the needs of
the league, Is centrally located and on
two car lines. The fence and bleach
ers are all up, and work on the grand
stand is progressing. The infield when
finished, will be fast. The outfield is
smooth, but a little slow. The seating
capacity will be about 1.600. St. Johns
and Vancouver will open the grounds to
day.
There has been some criticism di
rected toward Harry K. Bmlth, the sec
retary of thn le,aeue. on account of his
untiring efforts to coach the Kast Side
Commuters Into some semblance of a
fast ieague team. The seeming par
tiality may be easily explained when It
is known that he is a regularly signed
player under contract with the East
Hide management, and has been for
some little time. Naturally, being an
east side resident, his sympathies are
enlisted with tlie ''Triple T" outfit,
hence his presence on the coaching line
In games where the Commuters flpure.

of being the oldest player whose name
