TRADE MEN TO FILL OUT McCredie Borrows Catcher; Loanj Two Pitchers Players Show TTp Well, Considering Touth of Season and Stiff Joints. BY WILL G. MAC RAE. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cal.. March 7. (Special.) Accidents never happen, but events occur. An event that will be one of historic mention occurred here this afternoon, when the Merchants, a fast and clever ball team, made up of the flower of San Luis Obispo, met and defeated Managrer McCredie's hopefuls by the score of 3 to 4. It was the first game of the training season, yet in spite of this there were many moments of real baseball strung through the nine innings. In order to make up the two teams Portland borrowed Catcher Parson from the local team and loaned Pitch ers Harkness and Gray. McCredie Bent in Carson and Seaton, Carson working four timings and Seaton Ave. Both twirlers showed up remarkably well, considering they were cutting them loose for the first time. Seaton Nurses Bad Ribs. While Carson was bending them over he allowed only one hit, and this was very scratchy. Seaton was touched up for a total of six. The big, silent blonde was not shoving them over be cause he is still nursing a couple of very sore ribs which he injured in a recent fall. He seems to have every thing a pitcher should have. Carson's work while in the box was gilt-edge. Seaton. after striking out the first time up, slammed out a neat two bagger. Speck Ilarkness held Portland safe after the first inning, as long as he was in the box, and tiie only thing that gave his team-mates a chance to score against him was his catcher, who could not hold him and allowed two runs to score because of passed balls. Gray, who succeeded him, held safely at all stages. Shortstop Oleson, who" arrived this morning, celebrated his first ap pearance in a Portland uniform by whipping out a neat single the first time up. He stole second and scored on a passed ball. Kennedy Spears the Clouds. Graney walked and scored on an other muff behind the plate. Ed Ken nedy distinguished himself by jumping Into the clouds and spearing one that was bound for the uncut grass in the next county. He scored in the sixth Inning. Garibaldi hit for two hags in the fifth and was robbed of another in the sixth by a sensational stop. Car son curved one that hit W. Ilarkness on the digits, and when Buck hit safe he scored. Singles by Sherman and Miller in the sixth added another score for the Merchants. In the eighth, with Miller and AN'. Ilarkness on the sacks, Sherman nd Buck lined out singles which brought in two more runs. A fast double play from Kennedy to Oleson to Johnson closed up the in ning. Trainer Cornell Arrives. Hosier B. Cornell, who will have charge of the ; layers during their training, arrived this afternoon. Trainer Cornell is accompanied by Mrs. Cornell. He brought news that Tip ' O'Neill, who has charge of the White Sox, has two. open dates and wants to p'ay them against McCredie. McCredie wired the White Sox manager at once, and there will be two games played in San Luis Obispo instead of one. Great preparations are being made for this game, and several near by towns will send excursions here. Score of Game. The score: PORTLAND. R. H. O. A. E.

GRAVE ALREADY MARKED LAST RESTIXG PLACE OF "XOX- PAIlEIIi" XOT NEGLECTED. INDOOR MEET TO BE BIG AFFAIR Largest Similar Event in His tory of Northwest Is-Expected. MANY INVITATIONS SENT Jack Grant Corrects Statements Made by John A. Barnes in Spokane. Replying to a dispatch' from Snokane printed in The Oregonian yesterday morn ing in which John S. Barnes is quoted as saving that Jack Dempsey's grave is unmirkcd and neglected. Jack Grant, the well-known sporting authority of this city. w:io was a personal friend of the "Non pareil" during his lifetime, said: Barnes is either mistaken or misquoted. Jack IX-mpsey's grave is marked by a shaft four feet tall, that compares favorably with the monuments on many of the graves at Mount Calvary Cemetery. as to tne. last resting place of Demnsev being unkppt and grown over by wueds and the like, I do not believe that ruch is the case. I have not seen the grave ior two months, but at that time It was well kept. I -have been assured by the sexton that it would tie kept in good con dition and have every reason to believe that such is the case. 'The shaft placed at the head of Demp- sey's grave was the result of an effort made by Michael J. Brady. Fred T. Mer rill ami myselT. Wo raised the required funds by suoscrlption and the raffling of his championship belt, which at the same time served to assist his family. The re ceipts showing the expenditures of this work are now in my possession, and as far as I know, no one skipped out with any funds collected for marking Demp sey's grave. "Some one has been misinformed, and any on who wishes to confirm this can do so by visiting the cemetery. I hope that you will print this statement in or der to set at rest the Idea that Dempscy has oeen slighted in any way." Albright to Meet Sullivan. ' K. Campbell, manager of Con AlbrUrht. last night announced that Albright would meet Dan Sullivan in Portland In the near future. This match has been de cided upon and the principals will get together today or tomorrow and sign up articles, jt is quite likely that the win ner will then be matched with O'C'onnell. Albright has agreed to allow Sullivan to enter the ring at 158 pounds. WHITE SOX HO. 1 EVEN DP CKOAYT OF 10,000 SEES GAMES WITH CAL1FORXIAXS.

While all are not expected to send entries, at least 30 per cent of them are likely to do so and this number will warrant the assertion that the meet will bo the largest in the Northwest. One feature that will undoubtedly increase interest in the meet is the scheduling of a ten-mile Marathon race, which will start at the Armory and finish there. The course selected will extend from the Armory through the streets of Portland to the Macadam road and return. The route will be measured to the required length of ten miles, and the arrival of the runners will be signaled to the crowd five min utes before the first man reaches the finish.

The Portland Automobile Show win open Its doors tonight at 7:80 o'clock It will be all that has been promised. a:id more. "A thing of beauty is a Joy forever." and this exhibition will be notable not only for the splendid display of high-class autos. but for the artistic surroundings with which the show has been framed. tine of the first objects of Interest and uniqueness which will appeal to visitors will be the panoramic painting of Oregon scenery extending on three siiies of the building, an immense can vas, and powerfully suggestive of the niRjred plcturesqueness of the great Northwest. Mount Hood is seen from one point and the wlndtng country ronds. th"e forests, hamlets, hills, mountains, cascades and streams of t'reson are shown In various portions of the panorama. At different points In the picture the whirling tires of au tomobiles maye be observed, the oc cupants "goggled" with their huge spectacles, and the spent miles trailing out behind them' like the wake of a passing steamer. Decorations Are Hleh Claw. Here and there along the roads are motor-cars approaching each other, and tho entire scene is one which doea credit to the talent of the artist and the taste of t::e promoters In suggesting eucn a necorative and beautiful effect ive artist is no less distinguished a member of his guild than Grubach. w ii evcrywnere as the scene-painter for Belasco and Savatre. and the 111:1 n wiio produced the creations which made "Madame Butterfly" and "The narllng or me Gods' famous. Mr. Grubach als painted the scenery for "The Alaskan and has done much other work of ; scenic and decorative character In cities of the Pacific Northwest. This work at the automobile Show was done ne cessarily In some haste, hut shows Grti oacn s undoubted genius In handling vii ion nu gaininsr perspective and at mosphere, and presents an rnsrinliln which gives the outdoor feeling. so difficult to approach in smaller space. The lesser decorations of the hall are an placed with Judicious arrangement ua Breatiy to tne errecl as a whole. Palms will occupy some of the central space, nnd about the upper arches. Jiwt below the striking Grubach scenery, is woven a fejeze-llkn tapes try of living green, set off at Intervals with blooming plants standing on the snuares mat rise at regular distances. All this blends softly with the colors in the scene painting, and Is particu larly attractive under the sheen of the electric lights. From the roof snd girders of the minding are swung Innumerable .nines lanterns and gaily-colored Japanese umbrellas, a color-scheme which.
