Portland Still Rubbing 1t In on

We're Too Much for the California Cham
pions-Game To-Day.

Day by day the once proud Dukes are
dropping lower in the baseball armament
in which they were once a constellation OF
bright and shining stars. Even the friends
of their early youth are beginning to for
sake them and shout derisively from the
bikes to know if they are playing marbles
or what.
1t is mostly what.
Tears of Joy roll down their sunkissed
cheeks il by hook or crook they manage to
wrest one run out of championship game.
That is what they got yesterday at the
charity contest. while the men from Oregon
helped themselves to seven large and
voluptuous Christmas talles. A drarth of
hits brought about the downfall of the San
Jose champs, and their only run WAS a
gratuitouS one, presented by Billy Work in
left field. Billy bungled and the run had no
alternative.
Charity begins at home, they say, and
that is one reason, perhaps. why so many
people stayed at home instead Of coming to
the charity game and swelling the fund for
the poor orphans Christmas. 1t may have
been that the weather was most too cold for
charity, which Is q tender plant, easily
killed by exposure. Still, the audience was
large but not so large as il should have BEEN
However, the entire receipts we're turned
over to the fund, and a handsome sum was
realized for worldly cause.
PLEASANT FOR THE DUKES.
The various fag-poes around the park
were decorated with marine flags Glittering

Colonel I. Physique Robinson. who took
advantage of another opportunity TO throw
his chest out HE Colonel also had drum

occasion failed 70 keep Its engagement. 1t
should have been there to play a funeral
dirge over the Dukes buried hopes.
Portland eutplayed the local champions
at every turn and aughed at them besides,
thus doing much to remove the sting from
the fourth consecutive defeat. Winfield
Scott Camp pitched and smiled by turns,
ana when the Gardeners checked up ac-
counts al the end of the game they found
that they had amassed three hits. Hank
Reltz picked OF single and double and
George Sharp contributed one single to the
general fund. This makes nine hits and
four runs in four games.
LcokOlHs Nichabaugh had another trying
day, but try as he would he couldn't keep
down the hits and bases on balls. Portland
smashed the ball hard. making total Of
nine hits, but the score would not have been
so large had the pitcher been accorded his
usual support. Errors by Sharp and ReitZ
were both costly, and in addition 10 these a
base on balls was generally followed by a
long drive that brought the recipient home.

but one base, which simply opened the way
for speedy double play. San jose failed
