Breakfast Food for Fans WALTER MeCREDlB la figuring on using Catcher Jack Bradley aa tha receiver for the delivery of Elmer Koestner befoge the ladles today. Brad ley ia ready to Jump into tha game at any time. Roger Peckinpaugh waa aeveral kinds of a hero yesterday, for ho made a most sensational one-handed catch of Charley Moora'a line drive In tha sixth Inning, and capped the climax by hoisting the ball out of the lot bring ing home two runa and scoring a vic tory for Portland. a While extending all the glory neces sary to Peckinpaugh for his all around work yesterday, we must not overlook "Roaring Bill" Rappa and "RTg Six" Steen. both of whom cut considerable figure In the fact that we celebrated a victory. Steen pitched aa nice a game as any one could wish, and even In that first Inning he waa working: hard all the -time, lie allowed the Angela to out aeuess htm on the hit and run plays pulled off. but even, then no scores would have resulted had his support been "perfect. When ho had Roy Akin nailed half way between the bases. "Red" Kuhn contributed a mistake by not running the player down, for he could have tagged Akin out Instead resorting to a throw to sheehan. However, the Bea ver catcher waa In the game very much Just the same. Hie. work back of the bat pleased the fans Immensely. a Just after Peckinpaugh broke up the game with his homer. Bill Rodgers also kited one out of the lot. but the ball carried Just wide of the foul line flag on the top of the fence, and Bill had to try It over. His next, effort .waa cor ralled by Couchman. . Artie Krneger was the hard luck kid In hitting yesterday, for be almost knocked Akin looa from his feet with a drive In the fourth, and his hard liner In the r'rhth nearly carried Metsger Into left field. a Charley Moore, the Portland boy playing left field for tha Anaela. seem to be the best batter on Hen Berry's payroll. Moore can nearly always bo relied upon to connect with the ball and he hlta hard. He is also "some" base runner. . a a llapplcu Hogsn turned Bert Coy loose the other day. and tha Oakland team grabbed him. Wolverton must be In need of outflldera, and it la quite likely that Tom Seaton had the right hunch when he said he did not think Hofman and Bowser would do in this company. a a The Sacramento Club bas received three mora players from tha Boston Americans. Big Ben Hunt, a aouthpaw, and Frank Arrellanes, also a portalde heaver, arc about to Join tha Senatorial squad. An outSelder named Mahoney has also been turned over to the Sena tors. a a a Nick Williams.' Roadsters dropped their third straight game yesterday, and once mora It was an extra Inning battle.

WICKERSHAM LOSES, 6-3 Peopltrf Early Season Condition, Famous Racquet-YVIcIder Shows Remarkable Cleverness at Game in Doubles and Singles. WRIGHT MAT NOT GO TO AUS TRAIJA. "At this lima It sems Improbable that I will go to Australia as an . American representative in the Davis cup competition." said 2.1 r. Wright, when asked If ha would visit the antipodes thla year. "In tha event of Champion Larned- aolng. nothing would pleaaa me batter than again to face the crack Australian. Brook and Wilding. With the aid of Champloa Laratd T believe Amer ica could wraat the world'a tltla from the Australian stars. Stress of busi ness will -prevent me from goln across' the aa to play." Portland's flast peep at a National champion lawn tennla player In action was appreciated by a fatr-aizod gal lery In the appearance of Beals C. Wright. ex-National champion, on the Irvlcrton courts yesterday afternoon. Mr. Wright participated in both dou bles and singles plsy, showing remark able ability, notwithstanding the lack of proper condition so early In the year. Paired with Jamea K. Ewlair. of Portland. Mr. Wright defeated Ralph OorrlU and Brarldt Wlckersham, Northwest doubj.es champions, three straight sets, 6-0, 6-3. 6-0. Later he played one set of singles with Brandt Wickers ham. last year's city champion, beating him 6-3. Showing Cleverness with a great number of strokes. Mr. Wright thrilled the spectators with bis clean-cut work with the racquet. There Is nothing "showy" about his work, making the easy and the difficult shots with the same graceful motion. Wright Ideally Built for Game. -The ex-National champion Is Ideally built for a tennis player, being tall, with long- arms and a massive pair of shoulders, which drive or lob the ball with ease. Wright 'is a left-handed player and from that tribute alone probably attained much of his "class." To right-hand players a left-hand play er Is a disconcerting opponent. After seeing the fineness of his play yesterday when not In condition. Tort land tennis folk gasped at tha proba bility of his play when In tournament play. His driving "was fine, placing the ball close to the corner or on the lines with ease. . His Judgment was almost unerring- and his execution at tha net waa remarkable. The back court work of the ex-champion waa tha best part of his play, his returning of drives from Wlckersham or Qorrlll bringing forth applause time after time. Ewlng and Wrlpht had things their own way in the first and last sets of their doubles match, but In the sec ond many of the games went to deuce before a winner w-aa decided. ' The three Portland men were in good shape and the play was Men-class. In the Wrtght-Wtckersham singles match also several deuca games were played. Luncheon -Given to ex-Champion. Portland tennis men honored Mr. Wright and his father, George Wright, with a luncheon given at the Arlington Club, there being 17 present, as .fol lows: Colonel George K McOunne gle.

It being bargain day for 'the women, Portland and . Spokane put on two extra innings . and Port land was nosed out in a sensa tional finish, having- thrown away a chance to win In the ninth and being robbed of another chance In the tenth by a fast double play. This Is a remarkable outcome for Spokane, because It Is not often on the cards that the locals win on ladies' day and seldom before have the Indians grabbed' an extra-inning contest on Thursday at home. Portland forced Willis to extend himself to the limit, for the loose fielding of Spokane put Portland runners on the sacks jinnlng afterelnnlng. But the big fellow tight ened, and, except in one inning, the in field did stunts. The one Inning re ferred to found Williams at bat with two on, and he laced a straight one nearly to the fence, the outfielder bare ly touching it, two runs scoring. Casey Is Unthinking. Casey waa the unthinking one In the ninth, having sent a man to third with a grasscutter which the second base man foozled and being caught standing up when the ball, returned from third base, was shot back to second. It was almost a cinch Portland would have scored had Casey slid. Williams was dne of tho heroes. with his terrific hitting .and fine fiefdlng. Frlnk started pitching foij Portland and was going good until he met Nordyke st bat when the bases were full. Krink hadn't read up on Nordyke, and failed to understand that "Nordy" is the de mon slugger when men aro waiting on tha lines. . - Two Indians Score. Nordyke shot one into right and two counted. Frlnk gave way to Tonneson. Tonneson also fared well until Tauscher beat out a: high bounder In tjie 11th. Klppert followed with a hit- to right, and Willis, after Hasty fanned, lifted one to deep center and the speedy Tauscher .easily beat the throw home. The game demonstrated that when Portland gets going good there is worlds of trouble In store for the op posing teams. The score in detail: PORTLAND. . AB . 4 . e .
