THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1910. CATCHER FISHER SAVES -YAHHIGAHS Regulars Lose Game, 9 to 0, When Ball Is Thrown Over Fence. BAD DECISIONS ARE CAUSE Umpire Cornell Brings About Trou ble in McCredie Camp When Two ' Teams Meet In Practice Game at Santa Maria. SANTA MARIA, Cal.. March 11. Spe cial.) In the first half of the ninth In ning of the hottest game yet played by the Regulars and the Yannigans today, Umpire Roger Cornell made a couple of decisions which did not suit Captain Casey an$ Catcher Fisher, and the latter threw the ball over the grandstand, whereupon Cornell declared the game for feited to the Yannigans by the score of 9 tbOi For seven innings Casey's regulars were leading by the score of 3 to 0. But in the eighth McCredie ordered Casey to pitch Eugene Krapp the last two Innings, and his wildness gave the Tannigans two runs In that inning. He was working nicely in the ninth, but Umpire Cornell called a foul ball "fair," and gave another de cision at first which, with an error by Rapps, filled the bases with one out. Decision at first Starts Trouble. It was the decision at first which started Fisher to kicking, and when the third base coach commenced running home as a bluff, Casey called Cornell's attention to It b.ut without avail, and Fisher, In disgust, tossed the ball out of the lot and this resulted In the forfeiture. "Gee, I didn't think those fellows were In earnest about it," remarked a Santa Marian who marveled at the scrap the decision brought forth between the rival clubs. The batting of Tommy Murray and "Pretzel" Netzel was the feature of the game, both securing two doubles and two singles in four times up. The Yannigans pulled off three fast double plays and the Regulars cut down the score by inter lecting two double killings. Tomorrow Is- the big game between the Irish and the Dutch, and a considerable amount of money has been bet by the Oil Barons among themselves on the outcome of this game. In some instances the Irish are favorites at 2 to 1. but several wealthy Germans have been taking all such of Ters. Arrabruster Bets He'll Win.

The man ELger also announced the following as regular pitchers: Garrett, Seaton, Kratz berg, Ryan, Steen, Krapp, Hartman and Guyn. "Irish and Dutch" to Contest. MeCredle's squad of ball tossers will be divided tomorrow into the Irish and Dutch teams, and will battle for suprem acy at Thornburg Park. Captain Perle Casey baa taken charge of the Irish bri gade, and Catcher "Dutch" Armbruster is drilling the "sauerkraut" squad. When it came to picking the two clubs Casey did not believe that he had enough Irish players to round out a club, but "Nig" Perrine volunteered the informa tion that he was a "Mick," and with Smith, Guyn and Ort . to fill in, the "Moose" succeeded in lining up a fair looking aggregation. Ben Kratzberg was asked his nationality, but first insisted on looking at the lineups of the respec tive teams. Glancing at the array pre sented by Casey's squad, he promptly as serted that he was Irish, but a unani mous vote relegated him to Armbruster's club. Now Ben says he will pitch his arm off to beat the Irish, whom, he as serts, "Can't play ball anyway." This long boy Kratzberg Is some pitcher - at that, and if he really extends himself against the Irish, Casey's bunch Is going to have all kinds of difficulty getting on the' bases, let alone scoring any runs. The way Kratzberg shoots the sphere through is the marvel of the camp. Mc Credle, Armbruster, Fisher, Casey, Per rine, Buddy Ryan and others of the vet erans say he ought to be the greatest pitcher the Coast League has ever seen, and Casey is trying to get Armbruster to use some other pitcher in Saturday's game, for the little captain does not like to bat against Kratzberg, nor does he care to face either Phil Lezie or Charley Hartman, the two latter being left-hand ers, and Casey is a left-handed batter. Casey Is not the only one who likes to dodge batting against these three pitch ers, for 'Manager McCredie, another left handed batter, usually saves the left handers for the last In the batting prac tice, and by that time Mac finds it con venient to sneak to the outfield and chase a few files. McCredie Batting Well. McCredie gets panned ' good anJ plenty by both Hartman and Lezie when he dodges batting this way, and sometimes the tall manager returns and take his bat. The tall fellow has not lost his batting eye by any means, and is slamming the ball good and hard, not to mention fre quently. Buddy Ryan is also slamming out his base hits regularly, ,'The other day Kratzberg came near putting Howard Guyn out of commission. Guyn was playing -first during bunting practice, and McCredie laid down one of his pretty bunts, which was fielded by the giant pitcher. On getting hold of the ball Kratzberg cut It loose for first so hard that the force knocked Guyn oft the bag, and when he arose from the dust he waa holding his left hand and staggering around as if It were broken. Trainer Cornell hastened to see what was the matter, and Guyn said he thought his hand was broke. Examination showed that it was badly bruised, which indicated that the Port land first baseman will have to wear a thickly padded mit when Kratzberg is pitching. Guyn, for a few days, warmed up wearing a first baseman's or .catcher's mit, for his ' left hand was sore. The Irish and Dutch teams will lineup Satur day as follows: Irish. Position. Dutch.

Indications point to a big crowd at Saturday's game, and on Sunday and Monday McCredie should cleanup hand somely, for the fans here are the most loyal rooters to be found anywhere. Fandom at Random BY W.. J. PETRAIS. SANTA MARIA, Cal., March 11. (Spe cial.) Garber, "Krapp and Steen, the de layed members of McCredie's pitchers, are all big fellows, though Kratzberg tops them all with a height of 6 feet 2 inches. Garrett and Guyn are the only twirlers who are under 5 feet 10 Inches. Winnie Cutter, the ex-San Francisco and Sacramento Pacific Coast League pitcher, is a son-in-law of the editor of TWO OF M'CREDIE'S PLAYERS the Santa Maria Graphic. Winnie's wife is an-accomplished musician and plays the cornet as well as a man. "Nig" Perrine has Tommy Murray's "goat," and whenever the gingery little Pittsburger is catching, Perrine cracks something at him, which causes Murray to double up with laughter. Tom has requested McCredie to muzzle Perrine in practice. - :: - - Dan Ryan, the big, good-natured but quiet brother of Buddy, who is now de cidedly anxious to make good as a pitch er. Is working like a Trojan. Dan never played ball before, and came to the Coast only on a vacation. He has shown McCredie so much. that the tall manager has signed him and expects him to-make good. The game here with the White Sox Monday will not be played until 4:30 in the afternoon. There is only one train a day from Los Angeles, and this arrives at Guadaloups at 3:10 P. M. McCredie has arranged to bring the "Sox-' here in automobiles because the "electric jerk Water" consumes 45 minutes in making the Intervening nine miles. Manager McCredle has another "big kick" to register against the Southern Pacific Company. George Ort and the bunch, who were stalled at Ogden, and then sent around via Portland, were trot ted off to Los Angeles by the bungling of the Espee officials at San Francisco. They could have reached camp 27 hours sooner had they been routed out of San Francisco properly. ' Santa Maria is a great place to train. The weather has been splendid, and were it not for the delays sustained through washouts and negligence of the railway officials, the entire team would now be In excellent shape to start the season. As it is, several of the players will have to round to form on the "one day stand tour" which begins Tuesday. McCredie may cut out the series sched uled for San Jose. McCredie figures on playing a series of games with the Oak land State League club at Oakland. Cap tain Casey suggested the change, for San Jose does not draw very well on week days. "Pretzel" Netzel is a comedian of the first order, and when he and Cornell have' a session everybody is sore about the girth for hours afterward. Perrine and Casey add to the laughs by butting in occasionally. . Ben Kratzberg, who has- played baseball in the brush leagues only, is not ashamed of it, and tells some of the funniest ex periences imaginable. He says he is go ing to make good with McCredie and that Mac cannot keep him away from the New York Glanta very long. Mao pats him on the back and says "Go to It. husky." Casey has nicknamed Kratzberg Katzenjammer for "short. Dan Ryan has been christened "Pat" and so has Tommy Murray, whose name appeared In one of the San Francisco papers as Murphy. They are known aa the "Pat Battery" and stand pat on it too. Ryan has the most puzzling break to his fast bail of any of the pitchers now working out. . "Nig" Perrine has sent hig wife trans portation to Portland, and has instructed the "war correspondents" to herald her as Mrs. John G. Perrme, and issues the warning that anyone who refers to him a "Nig" in her presence is in for large bunches of trouble. ' . Xewberg to Play Albany. NEW B ERG, Or., March 11. (Special.) The Newberg High School basketball team will meet the Albany High School team here tomorrow night. In what is expected to be one of the fastest games of the season. Newberg has not lost this season and if Albany is defeated this time, it will be the 20th consecutive vic tory for the Quaker boys. Next Saturday Newberg High School will play Corvallis High School. The home team is In line for the state championship. Two of the best players. J. Lashin and C. Lash in, were members of last year's championship aggregation. mi ' r .si ? M ' J---.ll -V ' ft FTf ! t INITIAL COST OF HILL LINE HIGHER Oregon Trunk Construction More Substantial Than Deschutes Road. GRADE IS READY FOR RAILS Steel Will Be Laid in Few Weeks on Harriman Road for 2 0 Miles Up Deschutes Canyon Parts . of Early Grade Abandoned. BT GEORGE PALMER. PUTNAM. GRASS VALLET, Or., March 11.- AS THEY APPEAR IN PRACTICE '. ; 1 -ojx. T ..- . fsr, 'J (Special. t From the local headquar ters of the Harriman Deschutes Rail road emanates the statement that with in a few weeks more than 20 miles of track will be laid on completed roadbed from the mouth of the Des chutes up its east bank. As reported in The Oregonlan. some five miles ara already nomp'eteTJ. connecting with the O. R. & N. line -at' (Biggs. Three steam shovels are now en gaged in hastening to completion this lower stretch of the work. Practical ly all that remains to be done is the construction of a number of trestles and culverts, timbers for which will be brought In over the roadbed as completed. Hitherto one of the most serious difficulties encountered by the builders has been the transportation of the heavy lumber from the distant rail road points over terrific grades and. the worst of Winter roads. Such t!mber,itr is said, has cost 3 cents a pound to transport to the work. .A comparison of the character of the construction work of the two Des chutes roads recently has been made with some frequency.

The Carroll brothers will train to gether every afternoon at 2 o'olock In Tracy's gymnasium.

His pace Is too great and few seem to be willing to try him more than twice in succession. He and Frankle -Edwards have about the came style and & fast go Is ex pected when they meet. EMwards will arrive in Portland In two or three days. . lu'v c s ' 'i ures quoted such a comparison has de cidedly favored the Oregon Trunk line, which, apparently, is building a con siderably more substantial and expen sive line than that of its Harriman rival. Methods of Construction Differ. The' Hill line, for instance, has fills of 16 and 18 feet, as contrasted with 12 and 14-foot fills on the Deschutes road. According to one of the engineers in charge of the lower division of the Harriman line, the two roads are sim ply examples of radically different methods of construction. The one pursued by the Hill line is to construct at the, outset, at "first cost," the very best road to be had. and by its added efficiency and economy in operation, and in not requiring later improvement and alteration, to justify the greater Initial outlay. The Deschutes road, apparently, is being put through more on the prin ciple that the very best and most ex pensive road construction Is not justi fied by present traffic prospects. With the Increase of earnings and enlarge ment of tonnage possibilities, the accu mulated proceeds can be turned into road improvement. VThe North Bank and O. R. & N. roads, on opposite sides of the Columbia, offer striKing exam ples of these two policies the one built at enormous initial expense and reauir- ing littl further outlay; the other comparatively cheaply constructed and I for years constantly improved, as is instanced now In the reducing of curves and double-tracking above The Dalles. Helper Engine Will Be Xeeded. Since beginning work on the Harri man road, however, many Improve ments have been effected in the orig inal surveys. Curves, in many in stances, have been greatly reduced, and a majority of the fills considerably exceed the original top-width esti mate. 'The maximum curvature will be a trifle over 12 degrees, while 1.6 is an nounced as the heaviest grade. It is understood that in the heavy climb out of the Deschutes up Trout Creek to Madras a "helper" or second engine will be required, precluding any ne cessity for lightening loads. At Horseshoe Bend. where the Deschutes swings in a' great mile-lo-.ig loop between precipitous walls, the Harriman road has a 900-foot tunnel cutting through the hill that forms the neck of the "horseshoe." Crews are working at both ends of this' tunnel, with the announced expectation of com pletion in four months. From mile post 35 to 42 is included the most inaccessible, though not the heaviest, portion of the work. For much of this distance almost perpen dicular bluffs rise from the water's edge, many of the camps being perched 700 and more feet above the Deschutes at the nearest practicable locations. From these camps the greatest dif ficulty has been experienced in getting materials and supplies down to the work. While this piece of the line is now being hard pushed, it Is still some what, behind the rest, due to tU". fact that right-of-way difficulties and in junctions held it up until September, one of the camps not having been in stalled until Christmas day. From the opposite side of tho river the precipitous trails winding down from the hidden canips above over the cliffs to the grade WT5rk offer an ap pearance more characteristic of Al pine mountaineering than ordinary con. atruction work. Ropes Support Workirten. Here and there a bit of completed grade juts out from the base of the giant cliffs, peculiarly Insignificant in comparison to its scenic setting; scars where thousands of tons of rock have been displaced by the giant "coyote shots" of the builders appear like mere scratches on the cliff sides; and the men working on and below the slopes, often with ropes about them,- have the appearance of ants. Powerful ants, however, for their thousands of pounds of powder and dynamite daily emDloyed are fast making way for the grade and the trains of next Autumn. At mile 40, where the river makes an other great loop around what is known as Saddle Point, the Oregon Trunk crosses twice. First there Is a bridge from the west to the east bank, then an aOO-foot tunnel under the "saddle," and another bridge back to the west bank of the river. Double shifts are working on the tunnel night and day, completing about 100 feet a month through the solid rock. Further up between miles 58 at)d 66 occurs the heaviest of all the work on the Harriman line. Here are six miles that average 190,000 cubic yards, a mile of material in the cuts. Also there are two 300-foot tunnels, which, it is said, will soon be completed. Above this many miles of grade are practically finished. A little above mile 72 the new survey of the Harriman road takes to the west bank of the Deschutes, the trunk line having crossed to the east. For 12 miles the Deschutes road, will pass through the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, before regaining the east side. Nothing has as yet been done in this stretch, al though the Deschutes people express themselves as confident that right of way from the Government will be imme diately forthcoming. The work on the reservation is comparatively light and will take but a short time to complete. Early . Grade Is Deserted. On the east side, where the original Harriman survey was, much grading was completed before the change of location to the other bank was made, all of which Is now absolute waste expense. So It is that at least one place along the Deschutes the passengers of the fu ture will see three grades completed with but two roads in operation, and have the opportunity to figure how much money went for nothing in useless con struction in the first days of right of way bickering. In the neighborhood of 3500 men are now employed on the Harriman line. While there seems some reasonable doubt as to the road's completion to Madras In the early Summer, as has been ru mored, present conditions of construc tion activity would seem to give promise of a finished road In operation to that point by the Fall, with every indication of its probable continuance southward as soon as the completed line makes further construction comparatively easy and inexpensive. Deschutes Road1 Is "Feeder" Only. It can be fairly said that both all appearances and general sentiment in connection with the Deschutes road tend to a certainty that it is intended chiefly for Central Oregon alone. Its construc tion would indicate that it Is to be a feeder of the t. R- & N. and a developer of Deschutes Valley traffic only, at least for the present. Whereas with ,the Oregon Trunk road every indication and general sentiment point toward it as but the inauguration of a plan whose mate rialization will have for broader effects than the opening up of Central Oregon alone. Rumors and forecasts of varied brilliancy are, however, the chief stock In trade of the wise ones along the Deschutes. For them as well as for the interested public at large the develop ments of the next Summer can alone settle the much-mooted question of why, how, where and when. Fully nine out of every ten cases of rheumatism is simply rheumatism of the muscles due to cold or damp, or chronic rheumatism, neither of which require ' any Internal treatment.

GOUTS CLEAR LAND Albany Walnut-Grower De velops Inexpensive Method. MOUNTAINS MADE FERTILE' C. M. Glddinjrs Plants Nuts In Four foot Spaces, Encloses Them and Turns Ruminators Loose to Clean Adjacent Areas. ALBANY, Or., March 11. C. M. Glddings, of Albany, who is setting out the largest as well as a unique walnut orchard in the Pacific Northwest, will plant 10,000 more nuts next April and May. When the work now in prospect is completed he will have between 350 and 400 acres of land in the foothills of western Benton County entirely in wal nuts. . Mr. Glddings is following a novel ex periment. He Is planting walnuts on un cultivated land and turns goats loose to clear the land while the trees grow. When he first broached the plan a year ago he was laughed at. but he went ahead. Instead of clearing his land at great expense and then planting his wal nuts, he Is letting the trees mature while the land Is being cleared without expense. By the time the land is all cleared his trees will be approaching the bearing age rapidly. Land All Wild. The orchard is set out on land in the foothills of the Coast Range Mountains, which has never been broken or culti vated and which iB covered with high fern and In some cases with brush. Mr. Glddings' plan is to cultivate a space four feet square, build an. enclosure around it, and then plant the nuts. He pays no attention to the remainder of the land, but when the nuts are planted and the enclosures are erected to protect the growing trees, he turns goats into the field to clear the brush and fern. He says the plan is working admirably and that the goats kill all of the brush and fern on the place completely. About two years ago when he conceived the Idea of using much of his hill land In the Coast Range for walnut culture, Glddings planted 10 nuts every month In the year to ascertain the best time to plant nuts In that soli and climate. He secured a larger percentage of good trees from tho nuts planted in April and May than from those placed at any other time. Each Allowed Square Foot. In April and May last year he planted 5000 nuts, putting four into each enclosure four feet square to be sure to have one good tree In each place. He utilized 60 acres in this work, and will have about 20 trees to the acre. This year Mr. Glddings will plant 10,000 more nuts on a tract of 100 acres. Last year he planted California black walnuts and plans to grafF the young trees with Franquette and Mayette scions. This year he will plant second generation nuts and does not expect to graft the trees they produce. For this purpose he has Becured nuts from trees which produce the best size and quality. Mr. Glddings owns 4000 acres of land In the foothills of the Coast Range and has picked out the best tracts for his walnut orchards. The 60-acre tract be planted last year lies V miles north of Blodgett. on the Corvallis & Eastern Rail road, and the 100-acre tract he will plant this year Is situated two miles west of the. 60-acre orchard. He will plant about 200 acres more in succeeding years. TRI-CITY LEAGUE TO MEET Vancouver Baseball Fans Deter mined to Have Teams. VANCOUVER. Wash.. March 11. (Special.) A meeting of the officers of the Tri-Clty League has been called for this evening. Vancouver won the pennant in the league last year, and William Tenney, a member of the council and an enthusiastic baseball fan, declared today there are suffi cient players in Vancouver now to put a swift team in the field. Frank Wilcox and Andrew Proebstel have sold their interests in the league to O. C. Cates and D. D. Piel. Among the players available for this season will be the Troeh brothers, pitcher and catcher and utility men; the Parrott brothers, who played with Alblna last season These two men are stars at center field and first base. Woods. RickettB, Munger are also here and good players. Crystal, who pitched in the Inter-Mountain league last season is now in Vancouver and will be a valuable man to the team. BUSH DEMANDS MORE SALARY Detroit Manager Fears Midget May Prove Flash in Pan. DETROIT. Mich.. March 11. It looks as though Owen Bush, the sensational midget shortstop, who practically made the Detroit Infield In the Fall of 1908 and during a good part of 1909, has broken with the club. He came to Detroit last week, had a conference with President Navin and again re fused to sign. He does not say much. He simply states that he is not satis fied with the salary offered. President Navln is equally reserved. The situa tion Is almost exactly like that of "Ty" Cobb's famous hold-out In the Spring .of 1908. Bush realizes that the two pennants the Tigers won - would . not have been possible except for him (or some one equally good that the Tigers didn't have) and wants reward In a financial way. Navin conceded the midget's value to the team, but holds that Bush is too young to have established himself firmly as a major league star and does not want to give a big salary to a play er who may be only a flash in tn pan.
