' Hurrah for the rRas-nja-pas-axsers"
baseball team! They played like tk lot
: ct washerwomen on the aughn street
grounds yesterday, and still they wort.
Some of the "most spectacular plays
and errors" ever seen were pulled off In
the ten innings of baseball that these
twd teams dished up to the several nun
dred'fans that witnessed the exciting
' gam The ..game opened with .Hugh
1 McCredle In the box for the Rax-ma-pas
team. His work was simply gratifying
to the "children." He struck out the
first twaoftha Calef men to face hlru.
In the fourth Inning he threw a spitter
' that soared up around the dome of one
of the Calef kids -and it looked for a
minute like a hurry call for the morgue
wagon.
Bill Melle relieved . McCredle in the
fifth inning and . twirled a nice game.
He Jet the boys down with one hit. and
that was more like an error. Joe Stutt
had both hands on the ball, but It walled
so pitifully that the "handsome" gent
let it get by and the scorer called it a
hit. -
Gus Hetllng and Colly Druhot were
the real stars of the day. Hetllng
- slammed out two doubles and scored
men on both occasions. He accepted
everything that came his way and had
so much class that he was the whole
game by himself. .
Hewitt Pitched Well
' Hewitt, for the Calef Bros., pitched a
Ti Ice .same and showed lots of -class. He
had a slow drop that had the Angora of
.the Kaz-ma-pas boys for a few innings.
Twelve blngles were registered off Hew
i It t. but his team could have saved him
; a few by covering m little more ground.
They were afraid of Umpire AndyWlne
, burger slipping them a fine if they par
' sisted In covering too much ground.
The Kaz-ma-pas team had II errors,
and they were all made by Johnnie Cal
lahan at second base. He couldn't
gather them in with a rake. The Calef
boys Just laidMhem down to -the "Se-

RULES IKE
IT
If Johnson Drives in Auto Rac
es He May Never
. ' Fight Again. 1
Jack Johnson may never, fight again
and this is no joke. He wants to drive
his racing automobile in the Vanderbilt
Cup races on Long Island and, as there
are always a couple of drivers maimed
and killed in : those races, there is a
possibility that Jack may fall a victim
to speed mania.
A champion fighter can afford to
play tho role of dictator. - Johnson, who
has risen to that fight honor, is dic
tating right merrily. There are other
champions, to be sure, but Smiling Jack
Is king of them all by virtue of his
Victory over Jim Jeffries at P.eno. -
And Johnson Is taking his, full pre
rogative. H now, will rest up for a
year, or possibly more, on his laurels,
and rake in the golden shekels that
pour into the pockets of a new cham
pion. As the champion Johnson towers
above all hur fellow 1 artists of the
squared arena. He is in a position to
domand much and give little. vvUW
This, of course refers to his place
in the pugilistic World. The big Gal
veston black can make practically his
own terms when the next man to dis
pute his claim to the title flashes to
the front of the pugilistic stage. : He
will. have to make terms with Johnson.
, Such Is the unwritten law of the prize
Placed in the position of a practical
dictator, Johnson will reap the benefits
of his long, hard climb to the top of the
ladder before he gives another fighter
an opportunity to test his skill sgainet
that of the champion. Vaudeville and
exhibition engagements will fill bis
dates for a year or more to come.
Croker In Irish Show.
Richard Croker will have a number
of entries in the Irish horse show which
; will take place next month at Dublin.
Pit Thomas Upton will be the guest of
, Mr.' Crocker: during the show. ' Mr.
Crocker expects to sail for the United
States early in October to spend the
winter at Palm Beach.

MOVING PICTURES ARE '
; IN BAD IN S.AFRICA
' The international discussion over the
Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures, which
extended even to far away South Africa,
where they were , brfrred. at 'Johannes
burg, teaches a valuable lesson. Why
advertise prize fighting? In England
and Europe the game is comparatively
safe. A British sport says: "EHmln-
ata the moving .Pictures . and thr.
fourths" of the newspaper advertising of
boxing. That is the best way to set
tle the difficulty. I see no reason whv
the pictures . should be prohibited , in
London. In certain parts of Amerloa
race riots might have resulted, but not
here. . . .- , , .

There are several different events, for
which there have been provided threa
cups, one by the Hotel Gearhart. for
men,' one. for women and the H. C. Bow
ers cup for mixed events.. It is the
Idea of the hotel management to make
this the 'August golf event of the north
west every year and the valuable up
that has been contributed by the hotel
management will be disputed by the
leading cities of the northwest every
year, of which this is the first.
While tennis underwent a lull just
after the state championships held at
Irvlngton.vnder . the auspices of the
Multnomah club,; racquet circles are be
ginning to cast eyes toward Tacoma,
where Brandt Wlckersham and Ralph
Gorrlll will try : to win the doubles
championship and preserve a clean rec
ord for that event this season.
Wickersham, and Gorrlll expect to
leave for the 8ound this week, while
Miss Lessie Leadbetter; who is playing
an improved game, will represent the
Portland ladles in the championships
at Tacoma. .
Gorrlll and Wickersham have proved
themselves to be the best doubles team
that Portland has yet turned out and
two tournaments already held in the
northwest show - them outclassing" any
other pair. They had a comparatively
easy time In the International champion
ships at Spokane and later in the Ore

who defeated him at Spokane can get
away for the Tacoma trip, as he is
anxious to measure his strength against
the Victoria crack once more. :
Probably .the next Important tennis
that the local players figure in aside
from ; the ' Breakers tournament next
month, will be the challenge of the Ev
erett tennis club for a. dual meet for
the Starr-Reynolds-Starr cup recently
donated as . an emblem' oi interclub
championship. Everett was the first
to challenge the Irvington club for the
trophy, and has been granted the first
dual meeting. Just when the matches
will be played will be decided at the
pleasure of the visiting club. ,

Mordecai Brown, the three-fingered pitching phenom, picked up in the
coal mines, whose work In the box has gone a long way toward
keeping the Cubs "well out In the lead In the senior big league race.
The missing finger, gives Brown a chance for some wicked curves,
which, added to his great speed, jnakes him a formidable opponent
at all times. With Brown, Overall and Ruelbach going well and all
able' to stand the strain of hard work, the keen witted Chicago
Cubs will no doubt capture the championship of their league, which
Is almost as good as a world's championship 'in view of their -defeats

OLD SETTLER RECALLS
SULLIVM AT ASTORIA
"It was along In the year 1886, when
John 1m Sullivan was champion of the
world, and then in his prime that he
landed in Astoria with his - bunch of
fighting celebrities," recalled Leon
Fabre In a fanning bee the other day.
"His party consisted of . Slade, the
Maori, a big heavyweight -who aspired
to the championship, only to ; be de
feated in a few rounds' by John L. at
Madison Square Garden, New Tork;
Mik Gillespie, a lightweight and Pet
McCoy, one of - the cleverest middle
weights at that time. Sullivan was
touring the country, offering anyone
who could stand up before him for four
rounds a purse of $500. , - . i
"This looked like easy money for a
big French fisherman in Astoria by the
name of . Sylvester Legowrlff, who
thought by his immense strength that
he would be able to assimilate all the
punishment that John L. could admin
ister to him in fopr rounds, and at the
same time be had such confidence in his
own ability and punching power that he
hoped to slip one over on the cham
pion and put him out of business. He
trained .faithfully for the event, punch
ing big bags of sand and also going up
against wooden planks. It wis said
that he could break , a six -inch plank
with a blow from his fist. .
y. f"'. Astoria Bused, "''0', ,.. :
"At last the time arrived, and As
toria was in a but of excitement. Sul
livan and his bunch arrived on the
steamer, coming -op from San Francisco.
Everybody in town ' nearly was at the-
oock to get a glimpse of the champion
and . to size him up and compare him
with the Frenchman. After his coun
trymen had laid their, peepers on John
L. there were quite a few bets made
that Sylvester would be able to stand
up for the four rounds.
. .."The fight took place in the old Ross
opera house, and the place was crowded
with fishermen, composed? mostly of
French, Italians, Greeks and Austrians,
who wero pulling for Sylvester. All the
sports In town were there, and Astoria
ia ' those 4ays used to be one of the
best sporting towns on the coast

and, noticing -the interest taken in the

that It would be easy for' him, and In
vited me ;to coma up and see the show
free of charge. The admission was
$2.50, , and, as I said, the place Was
Jammed.

members of his company. th main

was cleared' and Sylvester and his sec
onds took their corner.; .Alex. Gilbert

BAN JOHNSON WORKS

Ban JoHnson Is doing a lot of quiet
work on the proposition to raise a fund
for aged and indigent baseball players.
In his recent swing over the AmerJcaa
league circuit Johnson said that, while
nothing definite had been done yet a
plan will be formulated and put Into
execution by the end of the present
year. It 4s suggested that a home be
erected In some city and that exhibi

proceeds to go toward the maintenance
of the place. . .,.

won the championship from Edward,
Hanlan, of Toronto, Canada, In a race -on
thA 'Parametta river. In Australia, ,
and . defended - the title successfully
against Jacob Gaudaur of St Louis on
the Thames river, in England.' -
' After this victory Beach retired and
turned the championship over to H. E.
Searle, a young Australian oarsman,.
Searle defeated W. O'Connor for the
championship, then died. Some persona
believed that Searle was a greater, oars-,
man .than Beach.
There was, however, only little differ
ence,, between Beach, Hanlon and Gau
daur, when in their prime. When Beach
beat Hanlan in. Australia, American and
Canadian oarsmen thought the Antipod
ean had a decided shade over Hanlan,
inasmuch as the race was rowed over a
course that Beach was thoroughly fa
miliar with. Hanlan made the long trip,
for the ace: and had little or no ao--qualntance
