1t has been blowing hard along the
coast for more than a week, and in con-
sequence every vessel arriving has had a
tale of woe to tell. Among them was the
Columbia River steamship George w.
Elder. She got in yesterday morning
early, twelve hours late, and Captain
Randall says Il was one of the hardest
voyages he ever made. One big sea that
broke aboard threw Chief Officer Wallace
against the lee rail, and when he was car
ried to his room it was found that his leg
was broken.
The Elder left Portland three days ago,
with thirty-two cabin and forty steerage
passengers. After a short stop at Astoria
she went out over the bar and at once
ran into the gale. For hours she barely
held her own, but CAPTAIN Randall kept
her at it, and she finally got out of the
storm center off the Columbia River.
From that on the run was fair one;
Among the vessels that were to have
sailed Saturday were the steamship Car
Isle City and the sl1ir John A. Briggs.
Neither of them went to sea on account
of the storm, but when fair weather came
yesterday both went 70 sea. The Briggs
is bound for Melbourne, Australia, with
a cargo of lumber, while the Carlisle City
goes to England via st. Vincent with a
cargo Of wheat. The latter formerly ran
in the Santa Fe line to the Orient but
her charter has expired, SO she goes home
for an overhauling.

Honors in a Clever
Contest.

The immense crowI which thronged
Recreation Park yesterday afternoon was
treated to one of the prettiest contests or
the season. The game was replete with
all the incidents and maneuvers that go
TO make the great national game good TO
look upon. The score was cIose, the ball
was hit hard and often and at times it
was anybody's game. 1t was a superb
DAY for d ball game, which accounts for
the large crowd. The fans" favored the
men from Oakland, ard every time a Grip
pie distinguished himself he was given
hand from the stands and bleacheTs. Both
pitchers were hit hard, but Moskiman
was fortunate in keeping his well scat
tered, while in one inning the Dudes went
after AlIrock in so rapid a manner that
tney made enough runs to win.
Dougherty opened nostiIIties for the An
gels with cracking tWO-bagger to the
center-held fence. AIherton new to Dun
leayy, and on Francks' error of ReitZs
drive Dougherty spr.nted home, while
Re1tz landed on the second cushion. The
Angels scored again IN the third Dough-
erty hit safe but was out stealing second.
Atherton got to second on Monler's er-
ror, went TO third on ReitzS out TO first
and scored on Kihms orive out to center
field. kihm stole second, but was nabbed
at the plate in attempting to score on
Hairs single.
The Cripples went after the "southpaw''
with a vengeance in the fourth Francks
singled, stole second and made the bell
ring on Dunleavys double Dunleavy
completed his trip on EaEan's swat to
right, and Truck went one further on
Doughertys error. At this juncture old
Pete Lohman rollei out q triple and
brought Eagan and Babbitt in But for
Halls accurate throw Pete would have
made the fourth station on an ordinary
three-bagger, which would have estab-
lished record.
The red legs punched five hits in the
sixth and seventh, which resulted in two
more tallies. In the meantime the Dudes
fell onto AltrOck for three in the seventh
which made the score read Oakland 5, Los
Angeles 4, and so it stood until the end
Pete Lohman'S presence in the game
seemed to inspire his men with confidence
Pete has not been playing lately, but he
did splendid work yesterday and was in
strumental in winning the game. Truck
Eagan had his batting eye with him, hit
ting out three two-cLshion swipes and
one single. Reitz played second base as
no other man in the league could have
done. His work was revelation as he
accepted eleven hard chances without the
slightest semblance Of an error, and
blocked two hits which might have been
| doubles. Umpire Levy made a couple of
| bad decisions at second and gave DR..
Moskiman the worst of 1t on balls and
strikes. The score:
