Portland's premier shortstopper booted a couple of grounders In the first Inning of the initial contest with the Seals yesterday, and both counted in two scores annexed by the visitors In that Inning-. 'Silvers" Henley eucceeded in administering the whitewash to the locals, so the final register was 2 to 0 in favor of the Mohlerites. It was the proverbial San Francisco luck over again, and a repetition of the past season's performance, for the Seals took the opener last season. For several seasons before that they had distin guished themselves by winning the first game In Portland, too. After that first inning, when the two boots allowed two Bcores, Gene Krapp', the Portland star, pitched such a good game that everyone who saw it expressed regret that he should be credited with a loss. The little chap heaved circles around Henley after .the first canto, and during the eight in nings he occupied the slab he whiffed nine of the Seals, and all told allowed tout three bingles. Shaw, the White Sox recruit, who has billed in nicely In the Seals' line-up, was the first man up, but his grounder to Olson was messed by the shortstopper. (Mohler sacrificed, and Melchlor laced a sharp one to left, which Speas failed to top, and the hit went for three bases, scoring Shaw. Tennant fanned, but Vitt walked. Then Bodie hit to Olson, who once more booted, and Melchlor scored. Vitt waa nipped at the register on an at tempted double steal. After that there were no more scores, and the game ended with two for the Seals and nothing for Portland. In the eighth Inning Krapp pulled oft the best fielding 'stunt of the day when he dashed to the third base line and caught Shaw's attempted sacrifice bunt, and wheeled, practically falling, in time to double out Henley, who had hit for two bases, before he could get back to second. In Portland's half of the, eighth Mc Credle sent Armbruster in to bat for Mur ray, and then followed this by having Guyn lilt for Krapp, and the tall man ager himself took a fling at the bat by hitting for Netael, but without result. Henley was too good for the home guard to solve him. This necessitated a change in batteries and the ninth inning saw Guyn and Armbruster in for Portland, and while the Seals grabbed two bingles off Howard, he succeeded In disposing of them without trouble.

M. O. A. Tank. Only 26 per cent of the 3043 boys from 36 Portland Public Schools, who took the Portland Y. M. C. A. swimming test, could swim 50 yards or more. The tests were brought to a close yes terday afternoon In the Association tank, the Sunnyside Grammar School, with a percentage of 17, being the last school to report for the test. The Peninsula School made the best showing, with 45 per cent, with the Brooklyn School and the Davis School tied for second honors with 39 per cent of their pupils being able to swim. Only two of the schools failed to have a single pupil that could master the task. Those were the Atkinson School, with 17 boys, and the South Mount Tabor School, with 27 lads. Active Interest Taken. The Y. M. C. A. has taken an active interest in the welfare of the public school children of Portland, and some time ago undertook to find out Just how many of those pupils could swim. The first test was held March 28, and one or more every day. except Sunday, until yesterday. Buttons bearing the insignia, "I Can Swim, were awarded to all those succeeding in the 50-yard swim. Those that were unable to swim were given three free lessons In the Y. M. C. A. tank. The second round of tests will begin May 1, to see how much good has been accomplished by the tests and the free lessons. A. M. Grilley, the physical director of the Association, has been con ducting the tests. All Are Swimmers. Those of the U6 Sunnyside School lads who could swim were: Harold Ross, Kenneth Wein, Oliver Williamson, Charles Buckner. John Powell, B. Lough lin, Ernest Roof, Frank Hunt. Carroll Day. Robert Reilly, John Hunt, Leon Bullier, William Dalzell, Elmer Jaeobsen. Joe Daly, Carl Gruber, Chester Johnson, Lewis Williamson and Dean Morey.

News of the winning of the world's tennis championship for women at Ven tura, Cal., Saturday afternoon, by Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, of Berkeley, Cal., over Miss May Sutton, who has held that honor for a number of years, was a pleasant surprise to the tennis fol lowing in Portland, for Miss Hotch kiss is a warm favorite here.

Sulli van's claim to the world's heavyweight championship. One is from G. W. S., a subscriber at Astoria, and the other f rom M. E., a subscriber at Clifton, Or. Or. ' Answer: Sullivan failed to defeat Charley Mitchell at Chantilly, France, which battle is held to cloud his claim to the world's heavyweight champion ship under the Marquis of Queensberry rules. His premiership under the Lon don prize ring rules at that time, how ever, has not been disputed. V 1 4 s a ""It Tm7z ?l Racing Enthusiasts May Out do Los Angeles With $60,000 Track. PROMOTERS COMING HERE Plan Outlined to Bring to City Fastest Auto Teams in United States and Europe in 1911. Local 3Ien to Give Aid. That a motordrome to cost approximate ly $80,000, similar to the one In Los An geles, may be built In Portland. In time for the racing season of 1911, was the statement of Fred J. Wagner, official timer of the American Automobile Asso ciation, who was in this city yesterday. F. EL Moscovlcs and Jack Prince, build ers of the famous automobile speedway In Los Angeles, are seriously considering the practicability of constructing a motor drome in Portland, and probably will be here to talk the matter over with local enthusiasts within the next week, accord ing to Mr. Wagner. Growing out of the proposition to establish an automobile racing circuit on the Pacific Coast, the idea of building motordromes in each of the four cities considered is developing, according to news which comes from San Francisco. Portland la the first city to be considered in the matter, as this city Is generally credited with being the automobile cen ter of the Northwest. Promoters Coming Here. "Moscovlcs and Prince, who are respon sible for the Los Angeles motordrome, talked with me regarding the construc tion of a like track In Portland," said Mr. Wagner yesterday, "and they told me they expected to leave for this city In a few days to look over the situation and discuss the proposition with local autb mobiling officials. "With a motordrome here, as well as in Los Angeles, the finest and fastest racing teams In the world would be brought West. In addition to this fea ture, the racing of stock cars must also be given consideration, as it Is an Im portant part of a race meet. On the motordrome the stock cars ars given as good an opportunity to race as are the oars built especially for this purpose. "The manufacturers are beginlng to realize the benefits which accrue to them from racing, and they could be depended upon to support heartily a racing circuit. What advertising Portland would receive can be readily seen from' the amount of newspaper space which was devoted to the Los Angeles meet.' "Sanction for the races would be grant ed by the American Automobile Associa tion, and Eastern officials, racers and automobile men in general would take a great interest in a meet in Oregon." Visitors See Portland. Charles B. Shanks, Oregon representa tive of the A. A A., escorted the visitors over the city in an automobile yester day. With Fred Wagner were Charles H. Warner, manufacturer of a timing device that records hundredths of a sec ond, and A. L. McMurtry. chairman of the technical board of the A. A A. Discussion of the proposed Portland motordrome brought out the fact that the speedway could be constructed here a great deal cheaper than the one In Los Angeles, which cost In the neighborhood of S90.000. This Is on account of the fact that lumber could be secured here at a much lower price. "If a suitable site, comprising about 150 acres, can be leased up the river within a short distance from Portland, I believe that the motordrome proposition will be a success," said Mr. Shanks yesterday. "Los Angeles meets suffered and will suf fer in the future from the fact that the motordrome is situated so far from the city that a 40-cent carfare is charged. In Portland, with both river and rail trans portation, this obstacle to securing large attendance would not be met. This city is ripe for such a move, and I can't see how it would be a failure if handled properly." Local people will get Into communica tion with Moscovics and Prince, who are now in San Francisco, and find out Im mediately what preliminary plans have been made. M. C. Dickinson, president of the Auto mobile Club, yeaterday had a conference with the visitors in his office. He said that he was certain the local automobil ing organization would lend every assist ance to the men who, according to Wag ner, are considering the construction of a motordrome here. In connection with the motordrome, if built. Mr. Wagner said that there would be no difficulty in securing the best driv ers in the country to come West. De Palma. Barney Oldfleld, Bragg and Jack Robertson are only a few of those on the list. . He also said that the manufac turers would be ready to send two car loads of stock machines to Portland for the races If the circuit were established. SPRINGFIELD HEADS LEAGUE One-Sided Contest Is Taken From Cottage Grove Nine. SPRINGFIELD. Or., April 26. (Spe cial.) As the result of a one-sided game with Cottage Grove Sunday, Springfield now stands at the top of the Willamette Valley League with ap parently good chances of staying there. With a crippled team and men shifted out of regular order, Springfield drubbed the visitors, 8 to 3. . In the eighth, however, the Cottage Grove team played the locals off their feet for a few minutes, getting in three men. One got home through a fair hit and the other two on the only two errors made by the local team. The one-sldedness of the game gave rise to some rowdyism in the grand stand. Special police will be provided hereafter. Baker made a beautiful catch for Springfield in the eighth, catching the ball on the run near the fence and turning what appeared to be a com plete revolution. This ended Cottage Grove's chance to score. The score: R. H. E. - R. H. E. Springfield. 8 7 SCottage G. 3 5 2 FIGHT FANS SHOW INTEREST Taylor-Label Go and Three Other Events Are Scheduled.
