"Only three members of the team have been assured places on the team as yet," said Manager Valentine yes terday. "These are Pembroke, for catcher, and Elmer Stone and Jack Olney. the pitchers who were with the St. John Apostles last season. I have about 20 prospects on my list but will not be ready to name the whole team for several days."' The Peninsula diamond is still In the rough, but a gang of men will be put to work on it in a day or two. The ground will be scraped, a fence built, and new grandstand and bleachers will be constructed.

HOME TEAM IS LENT TWO BENNETT AND LESSARD- TRAIN 'ACCUSER CAN'T BE FOUND Guyn Is Pitcher- and Nig Perrine Shortstop for Southla'nders Ten Fanned in Six Acts Mc- Credie's Infield Marvels. BY W. J. PETRAIN. MADERA, Cal., March 23. Special.) "With his new importation. Bill Steen, pitching big league ball, Walter McCredie and his Portland hopefuls defeated the Madera Coyotes thig afternoon by 4 to 0. Two of the Madera ptayers were unable to get away from their regular employ ment and McCredie lent Howard Guyn to the Coyotes as pitcher and Nig Per rlne as shortstop. Both of them helped to hold the Portland club's' ecore down, but to Blir Steen, whom' McCredie Intends to send against San Francisco the open ing day of the pennant race, credit for the victory is1 due. The big Bloomington pitcher fanned 10 men in the first six innings. After that he played with them like a cat would with a mouse. He did not fan any more, being content to let the Madera lads hit the ball, but they could get none of the hits safe. All told Madera collected three hits. These were made in the earlier innings, when Steen was going at his best. Perrine and Guyn secured a. hit apiece, which virtually gave Madera but one bingle. Infield Work Stellar. Casey, Olson and Rapps fielded In phe nomenal style. The speed and ginger ex hibited by the field prompted McCredie to promise to take the whole bunch to a theater in Fresno, where the team will play a series of four games with the State League team commencing tomor row. AH of the Portland players are on edge for this series. The victory won by Fresno over the San Francisco Seals indicates that McDonough has a strong team, and McCredie wants to clean up the whole series with the Raisin Pickers and give the San Francisco bugs, who do not figure Portland, a shock. Guyn pitched such a gilt-edge game for the Coyotes that the Portland club was un able to score on him until the sixth inn ing, when McCredle's wallops got busy and chased over four runs. Olson's Bunt Safe. Netzel opened by getting a pass. Ol son bunted and beat the ball out, which put the two men on and none out. Casey filled the bases by bunting and the Ma dera bunch failed to get anybody by trying too late to catch Netzel at third. McCredie also bunted and Xetzel was morgued at the plate. Ryan forced Ol Bon at the plate and it looked gloomy for Portland, but Speas singled to left scoring Casey and McCredie. When Bill Rapps rattled the boards of the center-field fence for a two-base smash, Ryan and Speas trotted home. That was all in the Tunning line. Both pitchers worked well and in the last two innings, Madera gave the home pride, Ray. a chance to pitch against Portland. The boy did fairly well. Steen's pitching set the Maderas to talking as they all figure him as a big leaguer. In the first and fourth inn ings. Steen retired the side by strikeouts, using nine balls the first Inning, and ten balls the fourth inning. . Score by Innings: R. H. E.

March 23. (Special.) Oregon Agricultural College has called off its date with Mount Angel for March 28 and the opening of Mount Angel's season has been postponed. Unless a date Is decided upon late in the season, the slabsters of the two colleges will have no chance to measure each other's strength this year. The date for which Mount Angel had arranged was laid claim upon from other quarters, and Corvallis substituted the choice of either March 24 or 25. which Mount Angel is not able to accept. Every day sees the first team candi dates out on the college diamond hard at work. Several scrub games have been played, in which their strength was test ed, and the indications are this year'B team will be one of the snappiest that th-3 college on the mountain has sent out in years. The team will be captained by Jim Manton, but the full line-up has not been definitely decided upon, as two or three of the positions are being hotly contested for by aspiring willow-wielders. UMPIRES WILL BE TRAINED President Lynch to Drill Strike Callers in Handling Players. NEW YORK, March 23. The meeting of the National League umpires, called by President Thomas J. Lynch for the first week in April will be something new in baseball, because it is said to be the plan of the league president to put the indicat or holders through a thorough examina tion on rules. As the umpires this year will have more power than ever before, Mr. Lynch is anxious that they should know exactly what their powers are. There are many minor changes In the rules and it is supposed that by this time the umpires are familiar with all these amendments. Accordingly, at the meeting here in April the president's office will take on the appearance of a classroom, with Mr. iLynch in the position of lecturer. The umpires will be instructed to restrain all unruly ball players and to prevent rowdy ism on the field. l'ENINSULA TEAM NAMED SOON Manager Says All-Star Players Will Be Selected Next Week. The personnel of the Peninsula Trt City baseball team will be announced next week, says Fred Valentine, man ager. The team is being organized slower than any of the other league teams, but the manager tteclares he will Lightweight Fighters Get Ready for Oregon Club Smoker. The bantamweight. Jockey Bennett, and Jack Lessard, the lightweight fighting Ironworker, who will appear in a few weeks in an Oregon Athletic Club smoker, commenced trainng yesterday afternoon for their matches, with three lively bouts, at Tracey's gymnasium. Bennett showed his reputed speed and cleverness and did not let the heavier Lsssard rest a minute. The fans present agreed that about as much work was done in the three practice rounds as have been seen here in regular ten-round goes. Previous to their sparring match, the boys didthe usual bag punching and rope jumping stunts. It is announced that the name of a bantam fully as clever as Ben nett will be given out for the match In a day or two. Roscoe Taylor, the lightweight who will go against Lessard, yesterday sent word from Seattle that he would be here Saturday. MO.NTESAXO FANS ORGANIZE Dr. F. L. Carr Elected Manager of Team for 1910 Season. MONTE SANO, Wash., March 23. An enthusiastic meeting of the baseball fans of Montesano was held Monday and a permanent organization effected for the coming season in the State League. Dr. F. L. Carr, president of the Montesano National Bank, was elected manager, the other officers be ing: J. C. Winters, assistant manager and secretary: J- B. Carlisle, treasurer; W. H. Bush, F. A. Farr, B. C. Crane, K. H. Fleet and T. F. Wilcox, directors. The committee having the financial matters in hand say they will have no trouble to raise $1200 or $1300. The baseball park will be put in shape and everything will be done to make this a successful season. Monte sano will play ten weeks at home and eleven weeks on the road, opening the season at Raymond on May 7, and open ing at home the following week on May 14. R. G. Trask, of this city, has been selected as one of the umpires of the league. Fandom at Random BUDDY RYAN receives letters in a feminine handwritlng'every day, and now the crowd is asking Buddy, when he is going to take tha matrimonial hur dle. Buddy laughs and says ask Dan, but the big brother is like a sphynx. Perle Casey has "Doc" Cornell's goat, and every time the trainer heaves in sight, the second sacker starts an argu ment with him, and every time Cornell is vanquished after a heated session which sometimes approaches the serious. "Nig" Perrine is the Jokesmith of the bunch. What the midget from Kansas City cannot think to do in the way of a harmless Joke is not worth while, and Kratzberg or Tommy Murray are his usual victims. Tom Seaton is on a still hunt for the opportunity of catching Cornell napping, for Doc sent a note to a Portland paper which came near causing Tom to lose his Portland girl, and the big pitcher swears he will get even with "shy top" before the team returns home. Bobby Eager and Will Kelley are al most constant visitors at the headquar ters of the Portland club, and both have many funny yarns to relate of players now in the State League, who formerly drew good salaries from the Pacific Coast and other Class A organizations. Reports from the training camp' of the Stockton club say that Frank Turk and Al Lodell, the Portland boys McCredie took south with him, are making good handily. McCredie thinks both of them will be ripe for faster company next sea son, and he may want them himself. George Ort is one of the several play ers who serve to wear off the dull mo ments when the team is not In the field. Ort is an entertainer who would not do half-bad on the stage, for he springs a number of witty and clever Jokes fre quently. Several hundred fans came down to San Jose last Sunday to get a line on McCredle's squad, but the rain Interfered and they will have to be content with press reports until the season opens un less they want to go all the way to Fresno. 'They are not counting on my club very . strongly In San Francisco," re marked Manager McCredie the other day, "but wait till we meet them on that 'Frisco lot; we'll make Danny Long swallow his mustache." And Mac's sen timents are shared by all his players, and somebody once remarked that "confidenoe is half the battle." ' Some one has already touted Dan Ryan to the Cleveland club, for Manager Mc Credie received a letter the other day asking a line about the big brother of Buddy. McCredie asserts that Cleveland has first call on his players, and If that club wants Dan it can have him at the end of the coming season. The same letter to Mac brought advices that both Speck Harkness and Al Carson were making good. The former is with the Cleveland club, and the latter is with the Chicago National League team. Mc Credie is confident both will deliver the goods. "Nig" Perrine says that Bobby Groom and Walter Johnson are the two best pitchers in the big leagues outside of Matthewson. and possibly Mordecai Brown. Perrine thinks that the Wash ington club should win some games this season if it has been strengthened in playing material. Negro Pugilist's Ivory Smile Turns to Gloom When Court Demands More Bail Than Lawyers Have Left of His Fat "Roll." NEW YORK. March 23. Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion pugilist, spent five hours today in a cell In the Tombs prison. Tonight he is free again, but gloomy, for not only was he locked up for nearly half a day, but while dancing and singing in the prison, a process server thrust through the bars a sum mons and complaint in a suit for J17o3.67 and costs, brought against him for the alleged repudiation of a theatrical con tract to appear in Kansas. "This looks like a rough deal," said Johnson, as tears came to his eyes. "I have come here on court order and now they take this action against me." He was" served, notwithstanding his protests. Johnson Grins Before Court. Johnson appeared today, grinning, as usual, on the charge of beating Norman Pinder, a negro one-fourth his size, in an uptown resort some weeks ago. Fin der at the time declined to buy a drink for Johnson, because he could not afford "wine," which, he added dolefuly, was all Johnson would drink. With a rem iniscent touch, he then recalled there was a time when Johnson was glad to drink "suds out of a bucket." The rest Is con tained in the charge of assault against the figher. But Pinder and his witnesses failed to appear to press the case today, and Judge Mulqueen, of the Court of General Ses sions, was wroth. He was inclined to think the court was being imposed upon. Despite Johnson's plea that he had hur ried hither on "an 18-hour train, yo' honah." he increased the champion's bail from $1500 to $5000.' Smile Vanishes Like Smoke. Johnson's smile vanished like smoke. Unfortunately, he said, his roll, flattened by lawyers, contained only $2500 would the court accept that in cash? The court decidedly would not, so the big prize fighter was led away to a cell, where he remained until late this afternoon, when a friend put up as security property in Brooklyn valued at $12,000. Though no trace of Pinder had been found tonight, the case' is set for 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. Johnson today denied emphatically that there has been any break between him and Jack Gleason, one of the fight pro moters, because of Johnson's unwilling ness to begin training 90 days before the big fight. The fighter said: "Unless I get theatrical bookings for my show in Denver and Los Angeles for the last two weeks In April, I'll stay in Chicago until May 1. Then I'll move out to the Seal Rock House In San Francisco, where I'm going to do all my heavy work for the fight. That's the best they'll get out of me. I am in training right now and I took off a good many pounds lately by road work." OXFORD DEFEATS CAMBRIDGE 6 7 th Annual Crew Race on Thames Won by Three Lengths. PUTNEY, England, March 23. Oxford defeated Cambridge in the annual elght-oared rowing race over the cham pionship course from Putney to Mort lake in holli fashion today, by 3 lengths. The time was 20 minutes, 14 seconds. East year Oxford won by 3 lengths in 19 minutes, 50 seconds. For the first mile the light blues put up a good fight, but thereafter the race was a procession.

All points along the river from which even a glimpse of the passing boats could be obtained were lined with spectators, while, as always, a fleet of launches and pleasure craft followed the shells. The Oxonians ruled strong favorites In the betting, having the advantage of 35 pounds in weight. Cambridge won the toss and chose the Middlesex shore, but tha conditions wereuch that there Was practically ng advantage. Today's was the 67th Oxford-Cambridge crew race.
