Last) winter he lrtBt much sleep and
money endeavoring to esiaDiisn nar
relations between the Coast
league and the men who are now fight
ing him. Just when he was counting
his chickens Cy Morelng, the backbon
of the outlaw's, bucked. Organised base
ball was ready to extend liberal con
cessions to the California league. It
could have had a club at Los Angeles,
another at Oakland and held Sacra
mento, besides retaining all their old
territory Ilka Stockton, San Jose and
Fresno. m ..
The majority of the directors of the
California league signified their will
ingness to enter organiied baseball
under these terms. Just when the pros
pects were the best, Morelng said
"Nothing doing."
The Stockton magnate was willing to
surrender certain players whom the
organized club owned and wanted. More
lng declared he would be loyal to the
men who had been loyal to him. He
had induced players to Jump contracts,
and it was not hlr style to abandon
them to the bears and wolves. There
was much haggling over terms before
the two leagues saw It was no go.
Now that the California league has,
had a losing year. President Ewlng will
again make overtures to Uie opposition.
It Is known that the Coast league will
be ready to make generous concessions
to the California league in regard to
territory, though the nature of which
cannot be atated with exactness, at this
time.

' Bill Reidy turned a trick
yesterday that la used daily
In the big leagues,' but which
seems not to have reached
the - coast ' When . Portland
made two- successive hits tn
the ninth, the ex-Brooklynite bugled for
Wtggs, who was out behind the bleacn
ers warming up. Wlggs had to stand
for a lot of kidding from the Portland
players, who crowded around him, but
the big fellow sent back as good as
was handed to him. '
Breen evidently thought Fisher's ball
was routed for Mars, the way he am
bled so leisurely between second and
third. There was no reason on earth
Why he couldn't have made boms on the
double. jnsher"s swat fell a few reet
short or going over the fence and Quig
ley had a hard time recovering it, Even
though he didn't score on Fishers hit,
he snould have reached home on - Mc
Creole's grounder, as the hit and run
signal had been flashed.
''..
' Ort started the error! tig In the second
when he threw high to Carson who was
covering first on Qulgley's grounder.
The seventh error was contributed by
Billy SpeaB. who dropped an easy fly
back of third. In between there were a
quintet Of bad ones.
After Graney had reached second on
Ragan's error, consisting in the drop-
Ing or a perfectly thrown ball from
ewis, that worthy who. played in riaht.
Instead of Manager Mac, was caught
napping at second on a throw from
Tennesson to McKune. Jack much re
sembled a hippo trying to get back to
the bag and made a ludicrous looking
slide.
Ort made a pretty slide home In tha
fth Inning after he doubled to right
and came in on Breen's single to Duffy

Some of the notables of the San Fran

Franclsoo Is the only club that has

By Jhe way, it will be the last week the
leafue leaders will play In the north
this season and the last chance the fans
will get to see the team in its present
makeup. For that reason the crowds
win probably be the largest of the sea

another in the seventh.
Tn respect to the memory of the late
Harry Polllam. president of the National
league, who committed suicide in New
York the other day, there will be no
tames In either of the major leagues
oday.
.
Here's one from a fan that will de
serve thinking over: Sporting Editor
Journal Let me say that the baseball
public wants to see the games won. They
want Portland to capture the pennant
above all things and to them batting
averages and clean fielding are second
ary .considerations, Th .public, will
quickly forget the errors made If the
team pulls together at the right time
and clinches" the game. Eight thousand
fans left the ball park yesterday utterly
disgusted with the work of the Portland
team. Tney knew the eame should
have been won and but for the loafing
or the baserunnera and ragged work in
the field, the team would hays remained
In second place.
The publio dislikes to see the Port
land baserunnera stop and give a friend
ly hug to the opposing players. These
Fames are all dead earnest with the
ana It Is a fight to the finish and
they don't like that brotherly love stunt
that was so much In evidence yester
day. PIEECE-AEROWS

Reading, Pa, Aug. 2. Because 7000
morphine pills are used at the Berks
county almshouse monthly. County Con
trailer A. L. Rhoadss proposes to -make
an investigation. since last January
2U.0U0 cne eigntn gram pills of mor
f'hlne1 have been purchased for the lnU
utlon.
Physicians and druggists were con
sulted, and all were amazed at this rate
of consumption, declaring that It would
be enough to DUt every Inmate In
trance for a month.
When told that not only were the
morphine pills purchased, but frequent
ly good sized orders of opium and other
rorms or dope supplied the institu
tion, physicians could scarcely realize
the truth or the statement.
During the last month 35 per cent of
the bills for all medicines 'supplied the
Institution were for morphine tablets
The almshouse physician haa been
asked for an explanation, and stated
inai mere sro a numor oi aope j
nenas wno are inmates or tne institu
tion, and who are supplied regularly

Wenatchee, Waah., Aug. 2. The local

August 24, is exciting considerable In
terest The registration totals ' 7(0
voters. There are about 100 mors
voters to register and It Is expected that
they will he nearly all listed when the
books close August li. it is expected
that the largest vote In the history
or the city will be cast as both the
"wets" and the Vdrys" are spending con
siderable money in the fight.
During the past year the number of
saloons have been reduced from 10 to
three. Those remaining are doing a
big business as the city is filled with
transient laborers and visitors.
The registration books . at Cashmere
close ror the local option election in
that city August 4, and the election will
be held August 14. Not much interest
has been shown by the public, though
both sides have voters well registered.
Wenatchee will go "dry" as the pres
ent city council will not grant any more
saloon license anyway and the license
or the three remaining saloons expire
In September.

Chicago, Aug. 2. Rev. Hugh T. Kerr,
In a sermon at ths Fuller ton Avenue
Presbyterian church, read a part of a
letter received by him from former
President Charles W. Eliot ot Harvard
university, explaining why he had not
Included the Bible in his "five foot
book shelf."
"When Dr. Charles W. Eliot named
the- first 26 of the 60 books which hs
believes will give a man a liberal edu
cation," said Dr. Kerr, "some of his ad
mirers were surprised to discover that
he had omitted all of Shakespeare, and,
what was more thought-provoking, all
of the Bible.
"He Included selections from Brown
ing and Tennyson, but not one of the
plays of Shakespeare, that great mas
ter of the human heart He gave a
place on the shelf for 'The Imitation of
