SENSATIONAL PLAY
MARKS BALL GAME
San Francisco-OakIand Contest
Establishes New Record in
History of Sport
Continued From Page L.

Providence beat Boston to in
eighteen innings, Charley Radburne,
one of the kings of pitchers. winning
the game by knocking a home run
through hole in the fence
In the summer of 1902 the Grand
Forks and Fargo clubs, pair OF bush
teams, are credited with having gone 25
innings without scoring a run. But
these clubs were not in organized base
ball and therefore their record was
never seriously taken. tIoughS ii is
marked down in the annals as a won
derful diamond feat.
Such old timers as Danny Long.
George Van Haltren. Charley Irwin and
others watched yesterdays game with
intense interest. AS long as they had
been identified with the sport thew had
never heard of anything like it, and
each member of the trio has played in
many sensational games in his day. Ir-

Tacoma in 1892.
Strangely enough, the same Oakland
diamond was the scene of tho newt
longest game that the league had ever
known. This was rlayed in May. 1901.
between Sacramento and Oakland. the
teams going 10 innings. when darkness
set in and put an end to hostilities.
Another peculiar coincidence is that Kid
Mohler. who captained the Seals yes
terday, played second base for oak
land on the other eventful occasion.
Tenant Makes Record
Tenant. the big first baseman of
the Seals. had no less than 80 chances
yesterday. and he accepted all save
one without an error. which is also
something very close 10 a record Moh-
ler took is of them without falling
down once, many being of the most
sensational order.
Oakland had the game safely within
its grasp in the seventeenth inning,
but the phenomenal fielding work and
luck of the Seals saved the day Chris
tian. the first man up. hit safely, and
Tenant made an error of Ragan's
bunt, Christian going to third. Carl
Lewis perished on short fly to right
field and Melchoir doubled up Ragan
at first Tenant made a wild heave
which Berry Knocked down, saving the
game right there.
Zeider put up a remarkable exhibit
tion for the home team. Three times
he hit sa fely, and on each occasion he
was put out while coming to the plate
in a desperate effort to score for his
team In the field his work was just
as spectacular. and not chance passed
him. though most of them were difficult
to handle.
Not a man was injured on either side
and Oakland used only nine players
Up TO the twentieth the Seals failed to
call on an extra player. and then, with
Bodie on second base and only one out
Captain Mohler relieved him of duty
and put Williams in to run. Four in
nings later the big catcher raped out
the hit which made the game his

And Now He Will Spend Some Time
at TarrytoWn Unless He Gets
Reversal in New Trial
Or Appeal.

Augustus Bensrud will serve from
one to IA years in the penitentiary
here for dealing three aces and pair
of kings to Gustaf Bjorklund, while
for himself he pinched a flush, at the
same time handing Ole Olson, his ac-
complete, four deuces from a cola
deck, in a game in Spokane. Judge
Stanley Webster, who passed sentence
on Bensrud, has granted a stay for Oh
son, as his counsel will apply for a
new trial or appeal to the supreme
court.
The game started with 81 stakes, at
which the "tenderfoot' won nine of IL
hands Then it was proposed by Olson
to raise the limit. Bjorklund objected.
Bensrud and Olson threatened to take
all the money unless Bjorklund COW
cred the raise. Bjorklund skinned" his
hand, which was made up of two aces,
q pair of kings and a queen. The rest
is the old, old story. He drew one card
and filed a full hand with another ace

CIGARETTE AGAIN
CONDEMNED TO DIE
New Criminal Code Declares That
Every Person Having Anything
to Do With Them, Shall
Be Guilty.

There is a big surprise for the con-
sumers of brain capsules" as well "a
the manufacturers and handlers OF
cigarettes in the new state criminal
code. which will become effective on
June II. One paragraph says that
every person who shall manufacture,
sell, give away or distribute or have
in his possession any cigarettes, cigar
cite papers, or cigarette wrappers,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor pun
ishable by a fine of $3.50 or impris-
onment for 80 days in the county Jail"
Lawyers here, with a regard for the
fine points of the law, declare that
smoking a cigarette is prima facie eV-
idence that the smoker is a laWbreakef
while others say the law is even more
sweeping, holding that conviction may
follow proof of possession of 1.-THE max
ings." Dealers predict that the new
law will meet the same fate that befell
the anti cigarette regulation to pro-
hibit the sale of cigarettes and papers,
which was declared to be unconstltu-
tional by the Spokane county superior
court. Meantime, the traffic continues
under cover.

HUGHES BOOSTS FOR
IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Representative of the Board of Contrc
of the National Association
Speaks at Commercial
Club Luncheon.

John S. Hughes, field representative
of the board of control of the Seven
teenth National Irrigation congress 20
be held in Spokane, August 9-14. is in
the city on his way to Spokane.
Mr.. Hughes is just returning from u
trip to the irrigated districts of East
ern Oregon and southern Idaho cover
ing all main points scuh as the Payette
Boise district and the Twin Falls coun-
try. Everywhere he has found inter
est in the Irrigation congress great as
the communities have come to appre-
ciate the value to be derived from the
advertising obtained at these congress
es. To a Statesman representative this
morning he said:
Il found special interest at Pendle-
ton. Weiser Caldwell and the new
towns of Gooding and Twin Falls. /
was especially struck withA the inter
est manifested at the small town of
Ontario, where at present very little
of the surrounding territory has been
put under water. They, however, hope
to have the government reclaim nearly
100000 acres surrounding that point
of thirty persons will be sent to the
Irrigation congress. Caldwell will send
their famous band and also a delega-
ton of like number and the same is
true of Twin Falls. In fact, l believe
from southern Idaho there will be an
attendance at the congress of at least
800 persons.
Il am stopping at Walla Walla on
your people in seeing that your city is
not outdone by these more distant
points,
AT the weekly luncheon of the Com
mercial club in the Dacres hotel this
afternoon, Mr.. Hughes announced that
the Spokane boosters would pay the
railroad fare of the WalIa Walla Con-
cert band in both directions, provided
the organization did not include more
than 20 pieces, and would see that the
musicians were accorded every oppor-
tunity to advertise this section of the
country during the big event. Milton
F'reeWater, Waitsburg and other cities
of the Inland Empire, interested in
irrigation will be invited to cooperate
with Walla Walla in sending a big dele
cation to the congress, and it is prob
able that a special train will be run for
the accommodation of those from this
section.

Gates Is Generous.

Sanitary Inspector w. c. Gates mas
come to the conclusion that $12 lap
robes are a luxury in which city Off
Gals should not indulge, though he is
today skirmishing about the junk shops
in the endeavor to locate the buggy
furnishings that disappeared from his
vehicle yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Gates had tied his horse near FRS,
and Alder streets while he visited the
office of city health officer. and upon
his return, found that some unknown
person had appropriated his robe. He
is now wondering why the confiscating
parsonage overlooked his trusty dog
rifle and the valise containing his milk
testing outfit. These will be surren-
dered upon request.

made the distance in just one hour
When it was learned that others
sought the honor, this record was
easily lowered to so minutes, and as
such it stands, with an open chal-
ilenge to any one who wishes to lower
it.
Immediately at the close of the
meeting, a rush was made for the cars
and in the getaway Paul Whitehouse
and Dial Preston had an even break.
These cars arrived in Waitsburg to-
gether and as the latter's car stayed
in that city, the road was clear for
the formers This fact was taken
advantage of and though pushed at
times by Oscar Drumheller who was
close behind in a siX-cylinder Frank
lin, the lead was maintained and
Oscar, who had made the record for
the out trip was forced to take a
back seat and dodge the missives
thrown by the car ahead.
Paul Whitehouse arrived, in the city
after / hour and 10 minutes of hard
driving and was closely followed by
the Drumheller machine, which not
only lost the rep established by it
earlier in the evening, but also caused
its driver to. be placed in the po-
siton of a man up a tree-he was
caught both going and coming.
