When Ham" Iberg Begins
to Mix Up Fast and Slow
Ones He Reigns Supreme
BROWNS SCORE THRICE
For Five Innings the Com
muters Never Land Oh
the Bases at IdOra Park
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The cellar brigade, otherwise the
Oakland ball team, kept swinging their
heads off yesterday at Idora Park at
Mr.. Ham Ibergs collection OF slow
ones. fast ones and easy ones. They all
looked alike and the Commuters were
lucky to chase one man home in the
final round. This would not have been
either had Mr.. Spencer refrained from
doing at his post of duty. Score:
Portland 3, Oakland l.
The game was a battle OF the tail
enders and therefore no undue enthu-
siasm was exploded. Although slow in
the matter Of hours and minutes, it
was a fair enough exhibition of the
pitchers art, with the honors on
Iberg's side all the time. Even errors
did not unnerve Ham, for he mixed
'em up and pitched the same kind OF
ball all the time.
For five innings Oakland never got
a man TO first base. Then, with one
in the cellar, during round six, Jimmy
Byrnes tore off a scratchy one to third
base. Buck Francks followed with
one TO left, but they both died there.
The Brownies opened up with one

Nadeau's single and Ganley's bad
throw to third base. The eighth
brought forth another. Spencer hit;
stole to second; advanced on an out
and arrived on Steelman's fiukey one to
third. Ham Iberg swelled the score in
the final spasm by bringing In Beck
from second with a scorcher to center.
The Commuters opened the ninth
with a whole lot Of noise and for a
moment they looked real dangerous.
Dunleavy forced Ganley at second and
sneaked down while Spencer sIumbered.
Schlafiey was poked in the Stats with
a slow one and together they pulled
off double steal. Dun imprinted his
foot on the rubber after Kruger drove
one out TO center. Schlaf1ey was
chopped down on a perfect throw.
Streib died by the second-first route
and then it was over for fair. The

JACK MUNROE LEAVES
FOR THE EAST TO-DAY
Eastern RumOr Has It That Jeffries
Has Signed Up for Bout With
Jack O'Brieu.

Jack Munroe will leave for the East
to-day, seeking new fields to conquer.
He knows there is nothing for him here
but a job on a scow schooner or some
thing of the sort. Jack does not know
yet what he will do in the future, but
expects to make some kind of a pick
up away from the Golden Gate. He
still bears some of the marks of his re-
cent beating, but otherwise looks in
good form.
There seems nothing in sight for JEFF
fries but absolute retirement from the
ring. The big champ seems to have
gone as far as he can, and unless he
contracts to beat an army of men in
one night he will probably be forced
to say good-by to the prizering for a
while and perhaps forever. AS wide
awake and diplomatic as the fistic pro-
moters are none of them is equal to the
situation of digging up a man to pit
against the champion Of all cham
pions.
A story was sent over the wires from
the East last night to the effect that
Jeff had signed to box Jack O'Brien.
The knowing ones here would not stand
for anything Of the kind and the rumor
was passed up as the most idle kind
Of weak fight talk.
Joe Cans will probably arrive from
the East to-day to get ready for his
coming mill with Gardner next month,
! Kid Mccoy has practically pledged
| himself TO meet Twin Sullivan at Los
Angeles on September 90 If the KID
| don't SNOWFALL the Twin he need not
try TO do anything in this city.

Terry McGovern in Philadelphia next
month. leaves for the East tomorrow
He will be accompanied by his brother

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-In view of
the fatal accident during the auto

dust clouds obscuring the view Of the
competing drivers, plans are being
made to obviate the same danger in
the Vanderbilt cup race over Long
Island course on October 5. This will
be done by sprinkling the course with
oil at the approaches to railroad cross
ings and turns. The course is thirty
miles in length, and. owing to the cost.
only the danger points will >be oiled
The same plan has been followed sue
