Sacramento .at Los Angeles. The case of Bud Sharpe et al. vs. Wal ter McCredle et aL will be called this afternoon at 3 o'clock In the Vaughn street department of the Pacific Coast League court. In other words the Oakland leaders will appear, weather permitting, against the tail-end Beav erette champions In a six-game series, commencing today. This week's diamond offering will be a stellar one. Portland 'andom being Introduced to the early season "sur prise" of the circuit. Bud Sharpe, the debutant leader, and a family of Beav ers determined to avenge the awful drubbing of the second week of the seanson. Incidentally was the worst defeat ever suffered by Portland at the hands of the Oaks. With a veteran outfield, a brand new In field, which on paper did not look as'good as that which Wolverton armor last season, and a pitching staff which is credited with being the best In the league, the Oakland team is at present the biggest figure In the "AA" organ ization. ' The old members of the team are: Abies, Christian. Gregory, pitchers; Coy, Zacher. Hoffman, Peterson, out fielders: MHze, Tiedemann, catchers; Hetllng. lnfielder. The new men are: Pope, Malarkey. Parkin. Durbln, pitch ers: Sharpe. Cook. Leard. Wilkinson, infielders. Hetllng, a utility man last season, is eligible for the new list of regulars, while Tiedemann, catcher this season, played first last year. Pitchers Show I.Ike "Vets." . While the timely hitting of the Oaks is largely responsiblefor their position at the top of the percentage ladder. Abies and Christian have been twirling magnificent ball, with the mound re cruits delivering the goods like vet--erans. Captain Sharpe. who has placed himself Just before backstopper and hurler. has more than replaced Wol verton's psyschologial clouting to date, as well as strengthening the team at first base, while Leard and Cook have been connecting with the Goldsmith at a clip to make the fans forget Wares and Cutshaw. To date the fielding strength of the team has branded it as a pennant contender, with Sharpe, - Leard, Cook and Hetllng proving a splendid Infield combination. Cook has especially dis tinguished himself both in the short field and with the bat. Coming from a southern circuit grave fears were en tertained as to his ability to stick, but his work has far exceeded the mosH glowing expectations of his well-wishers. Leard. the ex-Seattle second base man, has made a big hit with the fans, while Boss Sharpe. last season with Buffalo, Is the ."man of the hour" In Oakland. Wilkinson, the utility lnfield er, is the younster who figured in the Wolverton deal with New York. Outfield la Vat-hanged. The outfield presents a front lndenti cal with last year, while the' catching department is as strong as any in the league, Mltze's work thus far brands him as a major league possibility of next season, while Tiedemann has caught Sharpe's eye as a first-class re ceiver. As for pitchers. Abies has been win ning two games a week since the open ing clash with the Seals, while Chris tian is chalking up victories regularly In the win column. The youngsters look good, particularly with the team chasing over the runs. Today's game will see Southpaw Abies pitted against Benny Henderson. Abies took two of the five games from the Beavers In that disastrous series of two weeks ago, and will work twice this week. The majority of the ex perts figure that Able, a nervous chap, is working too often, with three games In two weeks enough for any heav er, but he is In top form and needs no urging from Sharpe to work twice a week. The coming of lnfielder Butler and Pitcher Klawltter from Cleveland will mean an Immediate bolstering of the slipping champs. Both left Napvllle on Saturday so should be here for duty about Wednesday afternoon. Just where Butler will be stationed is causing considerable conjecture among the railbirds. for Manager McCredle refuses to open his mouth until he gets here, but it will likely be at third base in Bill Lindsay's place, giving Bill an opportunity to nurse a stomach which has been causing him no end of inconvenience. Butler's right place is shortstop, but Gllligan and Howley, two American Association stars who have watched Butler's work at Toledo, declare he can till In "either at third or short. He is a tall, rangy fellow and Is said to be extremely fast. When young Peters, thS Trenton ln fielder. Joins the Beavers about May 15. McCredle will have all sorts of com binations to puxzlo over. Peters begun his professional career in California as a first baseman, but when Phila delphia signed him Mac taught him the rudiments of third and later when he was turned over to Trenton in the Trl-State Peters occupied a star role at the torrid corner. , Bancroft Shswa Slam. ' Bancroft is showing signs of develop ing into a- crack shortstop, but should the Wisconsin youngster fail to show the", steady progress expected of him Butler could be sent in at short and Mao would still have Lindsay and Peters for third. Or, hopping over to the other corner of the Infield square, Peters might be found available for first base duty, although- Bill Rapps' present hitting slump Is undoubted ly only temporary. At any rate the Infield should be the cause for very little worry after Peters concludes his law course at Stanford University and begins drawing pay from the Portland exchequer. He too. Is a tall, bullet-fast youngster. . Joe Cohn. the Spokane mogul, has purchased "Hap" Myers, former Coaster nd American League first Backer, for his Indians. He has been dissatisfied with the work of Sheely, the youngster who took Lou Kordyke's place, and turned over a big chunk of coin for the San Jose man. JUNIORS WIN' MILLIS CCP I a.

"Until the Pacific Coast League can be organized with foui teams in the south and four In the north, 1 am em phatically In favor of keeping: the pres ent lineup of cities Intact." said W. W. McCredie, Portland baseball mogul, yesterday in discussing- the 1912 re vival of the expansion talk. "The placing of three Coast League franchises In the Northwest would mean the death of the Northwestern League, while the eight-club scheme, whether on an equal basis of repre sentation, or five In the south tnd three in the north, means . that Portland would not have continuous baseball," continued the Portland Coaster-Northwestern owner. "Seattle is the backbone of the Northwestern League, and when you place a Coast League franchise there, the Northwestern will be in a sorry plight. Then give Vancou ver. Wash., a franchise, as has been suggested, with home games at Seat tle and Portland, and the Northwest ern is eliminated from both cities, with neither having continuous baseball. "As for California, tne Coast League is having trouble enough carrying Sacramento without figuring on an other weak sister. San Diego, men tioned as the home of the fifth fran chise, has a population of 40,000, and Is dead so far as sports are concerned. The league could not afford to carry another weak club, and until the cir cuit Is arranged wit!, an equal di vision of cities, four north and four south. T am not In favor of a change.

MADE - TO - ORDER SHIRTS- 1 1 !!l !-".3 "Another factor against 30 weeks, or continuous baseball in Portland in tbe event of a franchise at Vancouver, Wash , is that the weather will not per mit it. I expect to see an eifrlit-club Coast League before many years, but It will be composed oZ an equal num ber of cities, from the two section" of the Coast, and the organization will b effected without trouble of any kind.
