Loo Loos OF Buffers delivery when
the game looked good for the locals

Flooo then batted safely and the score
was tied. II was too much for Bad
Inning Ike" and the visitors found
him easy IN the eighth and ninth and
won. Eleven singles, two doubles and
& triple were TO the credit of Los An

delivery was touched up, but the hits
were not punched. save twins in the
fourth.
Two runs credited TO Portland were
a present from Judge Smith. Nc
Creedie raped out a double and when
Smith attempted a quick return Of
Thielman's warm one he threw the
ball into the bleachers. McCreedie
and Thielman both scored while the
search for the lost ball was under way.
Ross made a pretty double play in
pulling down Francis high one and
catching McCreedie at the plate by
a strong throw.
Pitcher Baum must have subsidized
Butler to hand them to him without
kinks, for he lined one out in the third
that was good for three bags and
connected in the seventh for a double
and in the eighth for a single. The

Champion James ]. Jeffries and party
arrived in Oakland last evening from
Harbin Springs. After dining at the
Gas Kitchen the big pugilist imped to
the Hotel MetropOle and went to bed,
where, according to Dr. w. S. Porter,
who was called to treat the giant box
er's injured knee, Jeffries will probably
remain for some days. Three visits
were paid by the physician to the
champions apartments last night and
the lame leg was carefully examined
and bandaged. In speaking of Jeffries'
game limb DIR. Porter said
My examination disclosed consider
able swelling about the knee, due to
water gathered there. This causes the
stiffness Of which the patient COM
plains. Jeffries viii have to give the leg
sufficient rest, or else the swelling may
increase and thus cripple him for some
time. AS he is now he would be like
a man going into ring on crutches. 1t
may be that the injury will require JEFF
fries to stay in bed ten days or two
weeks. We can tell better in a few
days what the outcome Of the injury
will be.
In Jeffries' party were the champions
wife, Mr.. and Mrs William Delaney
and Kid Eagan. After leaving the train
the party went to the Gas Kitchen, of
which the champions friend, John
Marcovich, is proprietor. for dinner.
Upon completing the repast Jeffries
proceeded to the Hotel Metropolis. where
Eugene Van Court and few intimate
acquaintances of the boxer visited him
in his apartments.
Kid Eagan, who was with Jeffries
during his stay of two months at Har-
bin Springs, said last night that the
big fellow was glad to get back to Oak
land. where he could receive additional
medical attendance, as he was growing
somewhat impatient with the incon-
venience caused him by his injured
knee. On the train Jeffries occupied
two seats in order 10 stretch and rest
his injured limb. Delaney and Eagan
asserted that outside of seeing that JEFF
fries knee is restored to its normal
condition as soon as possible no other
plans have been mapped out for the
future. When Jeffries is again well and
strong, Eagan stated. the party would
go back to Harbin Springs. If the
match with Munroe is a certainty. and
will commence the routine work of
training all over again.
Jack Jeffries and Joe Kennedy. who
acted as the champions sDarring mates
at Harbin Springs, came down from
there on Monday. Jack Jeffries left
Immediately for his parents home near
Los Angeles, while Kennedy came to

POLICE THIRST
GOES UNSLAKED
Saloons That Serve Drinks
to Men in Uniform Will
Forfeit Their Licenses

No saloon keeper shall play the Good
Samaritan to policemen in uniform, so
the Police Commissioners unanimously
decided last night. If a wearer of the
blue appear on the threshold of a sa-
loon tortured by cramps, toothache ap-
pendicitis, paresis, paralysis or any of
the other ills the force is heir to, the
saloon man who furnishes liquid relief
for the sufferers must say farewell to
his license.
1t was an artless remark made by
Thomas Ferguson, proprietor of a Sa-
loon at 534 California street. that caused
Commissioner Howell to introduce the
resolution.
Would you have me close my doors
to policeman whose tongue was hang
ing out with thirst?" asked the tender
hearted purveyor of mixed and plain
beverages.
Thereupon Mr.. Howell caustically re-
marked that Ferguson was too SYM
pathetic. The motion was made and
carried that the licenses of all saloon
keepers who give or sell drinks to Off
GERS in uniform shall be revoked.

was asked to explain why he tapped
upon the Uranium of j. Dambrosky
with a hammer. Hoffman replied that
he did not do so to sound the solidity
of Dambrosky's skull.
Il was going to tap a wire keg.' he
said. Il tapped Mr.. Dambrosky by
mistake"
The Commissioners looked with in
terest upon the man whose head was
mistaken for wine cask They agreed
that the error was venial.
The charges against the Fawn Saloon
conducted by A. H. Becker were dis
missed ]. Baxter complained that he
had been robbed there two weeks ago.
Policeman A. C. Marsh was fined S.
for missing target practice. Thomas

TACOMA. June 21.-With Pitcher
Keefe invincible the Tigers could have
defeated the Boston Americans to-
day. Not an error occurred until the
ninth. when Doyle, who was playing
for Egan. made a tumble, but IL was
not costly. Egan was on the bench
with a sore wrist. The Osklanders
could not hit Keefe. who struck out
eleven men. Schlahey was the only
runner TO reach second on his hit, a
sacrifice. Sheehan. Nordyke and Ca
sey played in championship form.
Tacoma scored Lynch in the fifth,
after he had been hit by a pitched
ball. took second on Casey's hit and
was brought home on bunts by Gra-
ham and Hogan. In the sixth Doyle
doubled. Sheehan sacrificed, Nordyke
went out at first. Mclaughlin scored
Doyle on a hit and Schlafiey's costly
error saved Lynch. Casey's two-base

TWO BASALT VISITORS
TO A TABOOED STABLE
Rocks Are Hurled Through Windows.
Stablemen's Union and Citizens
Alliance Fail to Agree

Allld1lcc ran 10 agree.
G. w. Brown, whose livery stable is
at 1S7 Stevenson street, received a
couple of visitors Monday night in the
form of two basalt blocks that came
through his windows. He boards his
ncn-union men in the stable, and as
they were sitting down to supper the
rocks made their way into the place.
The stable owners of this city in their
troubles with the Stablemen's Union
intend to follow the lead of E. G. Pierce
of the Nevada Stables and sue for in
functions restraining the union from
picketing and boycotting their places of
business. The unions have withdrawn
their men from the sidewalks before
the tabooed stables, and probably no
more pickets will be seen between now
and the hearing of the temporary in
junction case before Judge Hunt on
July 1.
A committee from the union met the
representatives of the Citizens Alliance
yesterday. In their discussion the two
parties disagreed principally on the
.open shop question, and the matter
will stand unchanged until after the
injunction hearing.
All is quiet at the Southern Pacific
freight sheds.

These are not to be Engelke's only
rewards, as the Fire Commissioners
have granted him two months leave
