Mike Fisher is trying to introduce the cus- tom into this town and so far he is doing quite well at Recreation Park. Three in a row have gone to the horse- shoe kid and he just nosed the natives to it in the same old way. Yesterday it was Tacoma 3, San Francisco 2. “As long as you can win with one run,” says Mike, “what's the use of killing your men running 'em over the bases? I'm going to win the flag by a run, believe me.” That's good phil- osophy, but maybe some slugging ball team will get to the Tigers soon and break up their combination, which at the present time is a wonder. Although two of the slowest pitchers in the league were working yesterday, the game was fast and full of scrap. San Francisco opened it with two and Fisher took off his coat. It looked like a cakewalk for Uncle, but after the first round his warriors were never there, although they had chances as | usual. The Tigers kept cutting down the lead, one by one, till they finally | created a deadlock in the fourth. AN was peace and quietness then till the gloomy eighth was at hand. Then it burst. Lynch lined one at Irwin that was too torrid to handle. Charley threw the ball to first and Lynch tore into second on the bad throw. Goch- nauer made his initial error when he threw the next one hit by Casey away at first and so the winning run landed. Four fast double plays were made nd thes *ut 2 big figure in the runs that did not come in. San Francisco had a chance to break it up in the ninth, but the hit was lacking. Van Buren had beaten a bunt and Wooden Shoes Andy drov: one of his old timers to left. It was up to Rabbit Mlll(-‘r, but the best he had was a ¥ to left Big Overall, the mightiest of the Tiger pitchers, will step into the box in this city for the first time this after- i noop.

Though there was a scare in the seventh, when the Califor- nians made four runs, the game came to Portland on a platter. The first run came in the third, when Hurley let the ball slip between his hands. Spies took two bags, stole third and went home on Bernard's single. Finally, with two down and with Spen- cer at first, Hurley bunted to Smith, who missed. Chase failed to stop a ball and then threw wild over third. Spencer and Hurley scored. McCreedle's three- bag swat helped a lot. Chase did not stop his man. Beck’s two-bagger scored the last of six runs. Fumbles by Cas- tro, Hurley and McCreedie gave the Loo Loos four runs in the seventh. Cra- vath was the star man for Los Angeles Score: Los Angeles— AB. Portland— AB. R. H.

SEATTLE, Aug. 19.—Park Wilson's three-bagger in the ninth inning, with two men on bases, tied the score to-. day and placed Seattle in a position to win from Oakland in one of the most excit- ing finishes of the season. Up to the ninth Oakland had the game all her own way, and it looked like a cinch for Sir Peter Lohman. Graham was in the box for Oakland and held Seattle down to five hits for eight innings.

John Lapique, who acquired his knowledge of the law by diligent study during the greater part of sev- !enteen years spent in prison and in | the insane asylum, yesterday stood for | awhile by his legal guns against a bat- tery of a half dozen regular lawyers. He appeared in his own behalf in Judge Hunt's court to oppose the de- murrers of a few of the forty-four de- {fendants named in his sensational | complaint of a month ago, wherein he asked the court to award him $650,- 000 damages for malicious prosecu- tion. Lapique's complaint covered some {1ty pages of (ypewritten matter and was divided into twenty separate com- plaints. The defendants included Abe Ruef and other lawyers, deputies, ad- ministrators of estates, friends, rela- tives and others accused of conspiring against him. The usual technical de- murrers against the complaint were filed by several of the defendants and after the arguments Judge Hunt took the matter under submission. Lapique answered the plea that his complaint was insutficient by citing two authori- ties to the court. The court humorously suggested that the defendants could save lots of trouble by paying the $650,000. Besides the regular demurrers one of the attorneys raised the point of the running of the statute of limita- tions. Lapique said that he had had no notice of that phase of the objec- tion and demanded a week for its con- sideration. Thereupon the point was withdrawn. —_———— Athletic Games Again Postponed. ST.

SANTA ROSA, Aug. 19.—Owing to the fast time being made at the breed- ers’ meeting some of the horsemen thought the track was short. To-day three horsemen, Charles Durfee of Pleasanton, A. W. Bruner and Fred Ward of Los Angeles, measured the track. They found it three feet two inches over the mile. The sensational feature of to-d races was the finish in the third heat of the 2:12 trot, when Tom Smith lnd Liege finished neck and neck. spectators thought Tom Smith flni-hed first, but from the judges’ stand it was seen Liege had the heat by a small margin. One of the attractions of to-morrow will be the exhibition of Sidney Dillon and Lou Milton, the sire and dam of the great Lou Dillon, 1:58%. A half sister of that i{llustrious mare, Corne- lla, will also »~ on exhibition. This mare is sald to be showing greater speed than Lou Dillon did with the same amount of work.

The members of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners have pleaded that the local Superior Court has no jurisdiction over their persons nor of the subject matter of the action brought by several produce commis- sion firms to enjoin the board from re- straining them from selling perish- able products on the public wharves. The board revoked the permits of six firms upon complaint of Charles J. Lecari, who charged that they were violating the Woodward law in that they would not sell potatoes in less than fifty-sack lots and onions in less than twenty-flve sack lots, whereas the lots prescribed by the law were ten and five sack lots respectively. When the dealers asked for an junction they set forth that the sale ! of the larger lots was customary with | the trade and that otherwise they had violated no law or rule of the com- mission. The board yesterday filed demurrers to the complaints of Jonas Erlanger- Davis Company, Schultz, Hansen & 1Co., Webster & Dunbar and G. B. Olcese & Co. by James M. Foy, secretary of the Commissioners, setting forth the ! [charge of Lecari and the official ac- | tion of the board in revoking the per- mits. ———— Answer to Yoell Contest. D. M.

Kohl had been employed as a porter for the past seven years by the firm of Rheinstrom Bros. at the corner of East and Mission streets. On account of increasing nervousness and diffi- culty of breath he discontinued the use of intoxicating liquor and his ner- vousness increased. Two days ago he quit work and his employers sent a clerk named Peters yesterday to see what was the matter. Peters advised Kohl to accept medical attention, say- ing at the same time that Sieben- hauser, the foreman, would pay the bill. Kohl replied that he was afraid that the doctor might poison him. He then walked into his own room and shot himself through the right ear, dying immediately. Kohl was a native of Germany, 33 years old. He lived with his mother and stepfather. —ee———— A.
