WEEKLY ASToRIAN.

Oregon is in session. For the next
20 days there win be a general turn-
ling Of popular thought and interest
toward the beautiful and important
lefty up in the Willamette Valley
whence all that is good, and bad, for
the people Of the Beaver State. is
supposed to come.
In the light of our experiences for
the past Is years we are perforce'
looking for whole lot Of good, this
year. Not because it is inevitable,
considering the character Of the en-
semble at Salem, but on the score that
lit is timely, and in order, that we
have relief and surcease from the
stupidity and other gross things Of
the past. just bit more statesman
ship and immensely less politics, for
instance.
There is enough, in all conscience,
to arouse the last Legislator in serv-
ice, to do something, to be something,
to realize something, for the people
who have honored him. II he will
but refrain from the making OF new
laws and give his sole attention to
the repeating Of lot of cumbrous
and costly statutes now on the books,
and to the amendment and simplihca-
ton of others that need It, we shall
call every man Of them blessed when
he departs for his home. Never was
there such necessity for pruning, re-
ducing, ousting, and obliterating, as
exists right now. We are literally
swamped with laws; almost more
than we can realize, let alone obey;
and, as a general, moving principle Of
action, we advise, and plead for,
unanimous and universal cleanup Of
the code and the exclusion OF every
conceivable new bill that will aug.
ment the load of useless trash now
burdening an bewildering US We
know the utter futility Of such a wish,
such a plea; but we feel justified in
making it, if only to plead it later
when we are up against the usual con-
glomerate mass Of rubbish that will
ensue. For a Legislature to meet and
pass no new laws would, OF course, be
an anomaly without precedent, but
all the same we would like to see old
Oregon set the pace, since it would
make her famous and infinitely hap
pier.
The Senatorial question is the larg
est thing of the session, of course.
We said one year ago that Portland
was to send her own man to Wash
ington this year; that the man would
be T. B. Wilcox; and we spoke by
the card when we said it; we have not
relinquished an atom OF our conf
dence in the authority wherewith we
uttered the gauge and while it may not
suit US little bit, we know the atti-
tude Of Portland thoroughly and her
resources Of wealth and influence and
political skill in the long-deyised
program, and expect to see it carried
out, Statement No. and its votaries
to the contrary Notwithstanding We
shall see what we shall see and see
ing, know the real power of Portland
as matched against the supremacy Of
the State.

SCRIBE WANTS SOME
FIGHT CLUB PROFITS.

PITTSBURG. Sept. ia bill In
equity was filed here yesterday against
the co-partners of the National Ath-
letic Club. the National Sporting Club
and Hubert McGinniss. known as Hugh
Mccain, a professional boxer, by Glib
bons Marsh, a local newspaper mar.
The bill asks that a receiver be APP
pointed for the National Athletic Club,
under whose auspices the McGann-
Frank Klaus prize fight will be held
tonight. Marsh claims that he, with
the defendants, formed the Athletic
Club. and that the defendants later or
ganized the Sporting Club, refusing to
share with him the profits derived from
boxing exhibitions. A hearing on the
petition will be held today.

OUT OF "EVENS" in RACE

but the populace are with Wilson. He
is a good kid. and the fans believe
that he will not be found wanting in
the crucial games that are to come.
In the first skirmish there was moth
ing to it but Newark. Such a nice time
did the enthusiasts have watching the
futile efforts of the Skeeters to score
that they could not help but have a
little pity for the Bob Davis hired men
who were to engage in a double con-
fict. but today is another day. In the
first game the Tigers got to Russell
Ford without my unnecessary watt
ing, three tallies being garnered right
off the eel. Louden came across when
Schlafy sent a shrieking single to
right. With two and two on Eddie
zimmerman, Schlafy and Gettman
started a double steal and Ford un-
hooked a wild pitch, with the result
that Larry and Jacob stepped on the
pan. The Tigers added another run
In the second frame. Meyers received
free transportation, advanced 8. sta
ton on Mueller's out and scored on
Louden's single, just to put the game
In the cupboard the Tigers added an
other. count in the fourth chapter.
Meyers was given a transfer, pilfered
a pouch and raced to third on Spahr's
weird heave. Blair and Mueller had
been disposed of I'M then Louden was
ticketed. Bill started for second and
spahr again missed the mark, enabling
Meyers to tally. That was all there
was to the game.
Mueller WI never ih danger. Ford
was accidentally spiked al first base
by Louden and was relieved by Jack
Ferry, former Seton Hall star.
The second battle was distinctly a
Wallar and Wilson affair. Several
times the Tigers had chances to score,
but the aforesaid Waller was at all
times master of the situation. The
crowd was kept on the anxious seat
throughout, and waited for the run
that never materialized. 1t surely was
a heart disease game. The Skeeters
scored their lone tally in the second
stanza. Foster was walked with the
aid of Finneran. Hannifin suicided.
Billy Zimmerman. the Newark boy with
Jersey City. then got the only clean hit
of the game and Foster scored. That
ended the run-getting for the afternoon.

ROCHESTER and TIGERS IN
DOUBLE BILLS TOMORROW

backstop. McGinnity hopes that he
may be able to get Lapp back again,
but 1t would seem that the chances
of getting Connie Mack to loosen up
just now, when the Athletics are in the
midst of their own pennant fight with
the Detroit Tigers, are decidedly slim.
To get back to. that double-header
which was divided by the Tigers and
the Skeeters yesterday, it may be said,
briefly, that the luck of the game was
not with the Bengals. They outplayed
the Shelters decisively In the opening
set-to and earned a victory. While
kid" Mueller had little on Russell
Ford, the Tigers did field in much bet
ter style than their rivals and took
advantage of every chance to advance
on the bases. The result was that they
quickly got a winning lead and never
allowed the Hudson county aggrega-
ton to become dangerous. The score
of 5 to 0. looked awful good to the fans.

Eastern League lots


If Red Waller could pitch every game
from now until the end of the season
against the Tigers there would be a
decided feeling of anxiety In Newark.
SO far as known. Waller has always
been given the greatest consideration
in his natice State of New Jersey. but
Red evidently is out for a reputation.
Joe Kelley's men now occupy third
position in the Eastern League race.
Joe's hired men AVE mad q gallant
fight and deserve credit.
Henley and Mckinley had a merry
pitchers duel yesterday and Mckinley
won. Some p~itcher-this Mr.. Mckinley.
1t is said that John Camel is troubled
with insomnia. The life of a baseball
manager is not all daffodils and roses.
Spain was a trife off in his hurting
yesterday. Some fantastic fan in the
grandstand wanted to know If he was
not throwing the game. Judging from
the second contest Jersey City is not
throwing any games to Newark.
Ford and Waller were saved by Jack
Ryan for the purpose Of winning a brace
of games from the Tigers. Ford missed
the train, but Waller came through all
right.
The accident to Joe Crisp came at a
most inopportune time. Crisp was in

NE reticent appearing young man,
~ with a classic countenanee and
a sorrel top-piece, prevented the
Tigers from being at evens with the
Broncos today. His name is Waller,

that 1t was about to be as
sassinated. Waller had been rest
ing up for the occasion and allowed
the Bengals only three hits, but the
Skeeters were mighty lucky to get the

platter. Pete Wilson, former High

Major League Drops

Silk O'Loughlin's appearance in
Philadelphia yesterday was somewhat
of a surprise. 1t is probable that Silk
would have preferred to have been as
signed to some other city.
Ty Cobb did not perform any mar
velous stunts in yesterdays Athletics
Detroit game, which was won by the
Athletics. Perhaps the sight of so
many policemen around him had a
rather depressing effect.
If Cobb ever starts anything at Shibe
Park during the present series 1t is
probable that the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard will have to be called out.
Krause is to do the twirling against
Detroit today. If the Athletics make a
clean sweep of the series it will be
slow music for the Tigers.
doc" Reislihg is looming up as the
best pitcher in the Cantillon stable.
Joe Lake Is now capable Of giving
any American League team a good
beating. Lake should prove to be n
of the winning pitchers of the Ban
johnson circuit next year.
The st. louis Americans are doing
all sorts of experimenting with young
players. Hedges has got the Ebbetts
idea.
Mathewson has evidently shaken that
Brown hoodoo. To humble the great
Mordecai in the present OF the Presi-
dent of the United States is surely the
big limit.
Jennings is under contract to Detroit
as a player and can be reserved, but
Hughey Is quoted as saying that De-
troit would probably not Want to hold
a dissatisfied manager and that he
cannot say until after October whether
he will be satisfied to spend another
season in Detroit or not. What does
al. this talkfest mean?
Owney Bush played a marvellous
game yesterday against the Athletics,

has broken into the game in many a
day.

FINISHES in ASSOCIATION.
EASTERN AND AMERICAN
Are CloSe--LeaderS Have Nine Point Lead in
First; Seven in Second and Twenty-Five in
the Latter Big Crowds at the Games.

1CK1NG the winners in one of the major leagues,
~ the American and the two big minor leagues, the
Eastern and the American Association, is a de-
lghtful uncertainty this year. In our own Eastern
League, Newark fans are all agog because there are but
seven points between the Tigers and Rochester, the lead
ers, with a fine chance for Newark to land the gon-
Talon because the Hustlers have to finish on the road.
In the American League. Hughey Jennings and his
Tigers are battling with Connie Maek's boys in the city
of Brotherly Love to keep a lead of % points, which
the Westerners now have in that race. Detroit finishes
on the road, and the going will not be any too good for
Hughey's cohorts. Detroit lost the first game of the
series yesterday. In the American Association, Mime
apolis and Milwaukee are having a battle royal. These
teams are both on the road at the present time, and the
nine points that separate them are anything but a sat
isfying lead for the latter.
The situations in these leagues are certainly great
for the game, and keep the fans on those circuits in
fever heat. In the National League, the Pirates seem
to have the flag cinched with a lead of 40 points. Fred
