T was a weird sort of tangle of base hits, errors and lots of other things yvesterday afternoon at Recreation Park. The Browns, from:Portland, managed to wade their way bravely through it all and “emerged from the mottled strife with victory safely clutched in their grasp. Score: Portland 7, Oak- land 2. Once, and only once, did the Cripples essay to do anything that would brighten their hopes of landing the game. That was in the sixth round, when their only runs were scored. It was then they land- The Browns were but one in the lead then, but the Cripples failed to make good with the one neces- sary to create a deadlock. After that they never had a chance with Shields’ masterly pitching. It was indeed a sorry line-up Oakland presented. With both their new men gone to unknown regions, they were badly off for talent. Moose Baxter had to be sent back to second base, and, as there was shortstop within calling distance, Kru- s brought forward to play that sition. Dr. Moskiman was ordered out to the left garden to watch for any stray flies in that direction. The Browns, as a whole, played a better game yesterday than they have done so far in the present series with the Cripples. They were more alert on the bases and with the stick they were terrible at the right moment. Then they fielded well, and, taking it all the way through, they notch aggregation. The Cripples, on the other hand, were bad m every department. They could not hit nor could they do anything on the bases. When it came to running around after the ball they were just the limit and possibly a little lower, Nearly every man on the team committed errors—ones that alwayvs counted and allowed runs to register. Shields, for the Browns, was himself agaln, and in every round but the sixth he had the Oaklanders on the gallop. Luck was against him then and they scored their three runs. The southpaw’s control was almost perfect, as he walked only one man—Moskiman—and he probably did that to keep the man of medicine from hitting the ball. Graham, the Oakland left-hander, was suffering from his ancient complaint—in- ability to locate the latitude of the home rubber. Trv as he would, his wildness was ever in evidence and he could not get 'em over. Then his support was so ragged that he was Inclined to feel dis- couraged all the time and was hit many times for runs when the side should have been retired. ' > The Browns started 'in to make runs in the second spasm. Nadeau was presented with a pass and two outs put him as far as the third cushion. Then Raidy hit one to Kruger, who fielded nicely and threw the ball to Brashear, who dropped it, let- ting Nadeau in ard allowing Raidy, to be safe on the play. In the fifth they landed once again. Raidy got'a life on Devereaux's error, but was nabbed at the plate trying to score on Shea’s long two cushioner to the cen- ter-fleld fence. Shea got as far as third on the play and registered when Shields knocked a long fly out to the right gar- den. In the sixth they commenced to work harder and came through with a pair in- stead of only one. Van Buren put one through the infleld and then stole the sec- ond bag. « Nadeau was given a lfe on Devereaux’s fumble. Then Andérson hap- pened along with a two-bagger, botu an making-the score read 4 to-0. The Cripples in the . meantime "were sieeping. They did not awaken until their half of the sixth round, Then they, com- menced to act. Deverei‘ux led off with a hit past third and went aroung to'third his game in all probability had it — on O'Hara's hit to right. The Portland fielders tried to catch Willle as he was making a dash for second, but he eluded them and landed safely. Brashear hit an easy one to Shields and Devereaux was forced at the plate. Mur- dock started the crowd cheering by rap- ping out a safe one and scoring O'Hara. Baxter hit a fly to Nadeau, who forgot to hold on to it, and the bases were filled. Dr. Moskiman advanced to the bat. The crowd velled for home runs and other im- possible thing: The Doc answered their entreaties by walloping a torrid one past Anderson, sending in Brashear and Mur- dock ahead of him. This was all the Cripples could do. They stopped making runs then and there. Tt might have been a good game had not Oakland gone to pieces in_the eighth, when the Browns broke up the game. O'Hara started it by easy fly. Then Raidy hit and Shay hit and a few more errors were committed. When the agony was over three of the Browns had made the round trip and there was nothing to it but home for the dropping Reilly's fans. The score: Oakland— | Portland— AB. R. H. P.A. AB. R. H.

When the Oakland team lined up for practice yesterday at Recreation Park it was observed that the two new men whom Peter Lohman had so much trouble importing to the wilds of Oakland were not to be seen.. Peter himself went out to look for them, but there was nothing do- ing. Kling and his side partner had de- serted the Oakland camp after playing only two games. Upon investigation it was learned that the two men had left their rooms at Oak- land early in the morning, taking their belongings. That was all that could be learned regarding them. It is safe to as- sert the alleged stars realized the com- had journeyed so far to mix as a trifle too fast for them. They have probably gone back to Terre Haute, Ind., to play the game there again in peace and quiet. This leaves the Cripples in a had way. They will have to play Baxter at second base again, and probably resurrect Bird and let him do the honors at short, as Kruger is built for an outflelder and will not do there. Lohman stated last night that he would look for two more good men to take the places of Kling and ‘Walters, and hoped to find the right ones within the next few days. —_———— McCOMB’S GREYHOUNDS RUN IN GREAT FORM Are Expected to Reach the Deciding Course in Puppy Stake To-Day at Ingleside Park. Frank McComb's young greyhounds, Queen's Motto and Free From Flaw, won their trials cleverly yesterday in the pup- | py stake at Ingleside Coursing Park. They are expected to work their way into the all-important deciding course to-day. The open stake was chiefly remarkable for the number of long trials. Many ex- tended over two minutes and relief dogs were constantly in demand. The stewards sent Roxanna back to his kennel, the appearance of the dog when he went to the “slips” indicating he was not fit to run. The last course was run at 6:25 o'clock.

She Gains Steadily on the Shamrock I in Test Off Sandy Hook. P Tie S NEW YORK, June 27.—Sir Thomas Lip- ton’s new cup challenger, Shamrock III, was given her first test in American wa- ters to-day in an informal trial with the Shamrock I off Sandy Hook. In the first ten milés of a fifteen-mile beat to wind- ward in a light air the new boat beat the old one about ten minutes and in a run of to leeward nine minutes. There was a long, gentle sea and the new challenger slipped cleanly over it, making little fuss under her bow. Taking into consideration the assertion by English yachtsmen that the Shamrock I is ten minutes faster in a thirty-mile course than she ever was and fully as much faster than the Shamrock II, the new boat's first performance on this side of the Atlantic marks her as probably the most dangerous challenger Sir Thomas has brought over. In a light air and smooth water she showed herself to be fast. The chief purpose of the trial was to stretch the sails and resume the tun- ing-up process. Sir Thomas and Designer Fife were aboard the Shamrock IIL Colonel Neill sailed on the Shamrock I when the yachts started to beat seaward against a four- knot wind. The Shamrock III was slight- ly in the lead at the start and began at once to add to it. The new boat pointed higher and footed faster than the Sham- rock I. They headed out to sea for more than two hours and during all that time the Shamrock III gained steadily. At 2:45, | when the challenger was leading the Shamrock I by ten minutes, the Sham- rock III turned about and ran back to re- join the other. Crossing the wake of the old boat the Shamrock III was given a freer wind and went off for a five-mile run at a fast clip down along the Jersey coast. As the Shamrock I did not keep in close company with the new boat there was no | opportunity to.compare the boats on the point of safling. The Shamrock III had pasced Long Branch several miles off shore, when, at 3:40, both boats came about starting close together. They head- ed for Sandy Hook with spinnakers set. Before a light breeze they ran fifteen miles along the coast to the Scotland lightship and were saluted by passing steamers. The Shamrock 111 quickly began to gain on her trial horse and inan hour's sailing, and when the boats had covered about half the course, had established a lead of nearly half a mile. This is called the best point of sailing for the older boat. The Shamrock I1I had passed the light- ship at 5:52, while the ex-challenger was about a mile astern. reached the lightship at 6:01, but had lost time by taking in her spinnaker before reaching the finish. The fleet anchored at Sandy Hook. The Shamrocks will go out again on Monday. 8ir Thomas has on board the Erin the beautiful silver cup he will presermt to the San Diego, Cal., Yacht Club as a racing trophy. It is inscribed “The Sir Thomas Lipton Cup.” —_——— Loss of Horses in War. Deaths due to wounds received in battle constitute but an insignificant part of the losses of cavairy horses in war. It was only after a war experience of two years that a cavalry bureau was established in 1863. This resulted in economy and in- creased efficiency, for an enormous num- ber of horses, temporarily disabled through excessive marching and lack of forage, were turned in at the general depots and recuperated swficiently to be again issued. The number turned in was but a fraction of the whole number is- sued, owing to the difficulty of returning wornout horses from distant and isolated | points. Some idea of the dimensions of the re- mount business may be had from the statement that 188,718 horses were pur-| chased during.the fiscal year ending June 30, 1864. During the first eight months of that year the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac was supplied with two complete remounts, which required 40,000 horses. The total number of mules and horses re- | quired to keep up the supply for’ all the armies was 500 each day, and the data collected showed that for every two men of the whole force employed one animal | was required in the ranks or trains. The | recent experience of the British army in South Africa indicates that the loss of animals in the Civil War was not excep- tional and that whenever campaigns are undertaken in'a sparsely settled country history will repeat itself.—United Service Review.

TENNIS PLAER I PROFESSIONAL Officials of the East Fix the Status of Hodgkinson. it Championship Tournament Thus Loses One of Its Stars. SRRCLL The standing of Norman Hodgkinson, the courtkeeper of the California Tennis Club, has at last been determined. A telegram was received yesterday from Dr. James Pwight, president of the National Lawn Tennis Association. Thg latter states that a courtkeeper who ~aecepts money for his services is a professional While tennis devotees in general expected this ruling, they are nevertheless disap- pointed. Hodgkinson would have been one of the strongest men in the championship tour- nament, and as players of his caliber will be scarce next week, he will beé missed greatly.

Uncle Sam is the largest employer of | typists in the country and shouid be the patron saint of the typewriter girl.
