I, mas rather a dismal debut for the Oakland series, but if the weather brighten up today a record crowd will likely fit the new stadium. Oakland always has been a drawing card In Portland and the magnetic qualities should be accentuated by the fact that the Oaks, or Sharpshooters, as they are now being dubbed, are leaning the race as the "dark horses' of the sea son. The tabulated story of yesterday's rain-Interrupted game follows- R. H. K. Oakland 1 i 3 0 Portland 0 0 22 I Z Batteries Oakland. Ahkts anu Mitxe; Portland. Koeatner and Howley. Henderson was originally scheduled to heave for Portland, but. owing to the muddy condition of the diamond. Mc L'redie finally picked upon Korstner. m The Oaka batting front was badly subdivided yesterday owlnr to Hud Sharpe's three-day suspension and Zarher'a Incapacitation as a result of a boil. Wilkinson, tha college lad sent bark by New York In the Wolverlon deal, held down first, while I'atterson. one of last year's vets, now utility fielder, went to center. The rain, therefore, might be raid to be working for the visitors, for Zacher win be back In the game today and the layoff takes cne day off Sharpe s term of banishment. Watching the fun from a box seat yesterday Manager Sharpe laughed at the lugubrious assertion tha he was working Southpaw Abies too hard. "Harry pitched one game against Pan Francisco opening week. two against Portland the next series and one against Los Angeles last week four times In three weeks. Do you think that Is overworking a big- fel low like AblesT asked Sharpe. "Any pitcher should be able to stand that route." added Woiverton's succes sor. "Ablea has won every game so far and games count Just as much now as at the fag-end of the season, when they are harder to get.' Sharp Is a tall, lanky Individual, and. from all appearances. Harmony Is batting at a high figure among his hirelings and that's one Indication of successful management. a a "Ixzy" Hoffman. Elmar Zafher and all the old heads with the Oaks unite in tho declaration that Sharpe's team Is considerable stronger than the one Wolverton piloted to third place last Kali. "Our InfieM has been spruced up wonderfully." pointed out Left Fielder Hoffman. "Wares at fhort. row with St. Louis, pulled off many sensational plays, l.ut "Rabbit" was a nervous, high-strung little fallow and his hoots In the pinches cost us many games. Cook has been workln fine.'" Zarher coincides with Hoffman's views. "Not only Is Took superior to Wares, but l.eard Is a far more valuable sec ond baseman than Cutshaw." said the former I'nlverslty of Buffalo athlete. "Cutty stole something tlk. o bases last year. I know, but Leard gets them when they are most needed, whereas Cutshaw ran his head off for a record whenever we had a few runs to the good. Leard Is valuable, all-around player." Brooklyn dispatches convey the In telligence that the Puperhas are to send' Cutshaw back to- the minors for fur ther seasoning. Cutshaw Is a drafted player, so Oakland win bate to be given first crack at hlrn. Sharp, how ever, says he has heard nothing con cerning Cutshaw and refused to say whether or not Oakland woud bid for hla return. a a , "Some msn are born to baseball Jobs: some have basaball jobs thrust upon them while others arrive at Jobs at most Inopportune times So remarks a St. Louis writer, point ing out Tom Tennant aa belonging to the latter class. Last season the Browns tried out 1 punks and Tennant woul.l have heen welcomed like ye prodigal son Now the Browns have Stovali and Tennant must sit on the bench. In his first game a week ago Sun day Tennant gummed up two grounders but recovered one In time to mske a plav. Still thv I'k" he red head and he will likely stick throughout the sea son.

' UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene April 23. (Special.) The track and field team of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club of Portland will come to Eugena next Saturday for the first time in history, for a dual meet with the representatives of the University of Oregon. On three former occasions 1901, 1902 and 1903 the two teams met. but always on the Portland field. - The Portland men have never beaten Oregon In a track test, though all of Oregon's victories have been close 61 to 43. 63 to bl and 64 to &0. This was in the day of Roy Heater. C. A. Red mond. Clyde A. Paine. "Dutch" Thayer and Cloan Perkins. Ths last of these contests took place the year prior to Trainer William I.. Hayward's enlist ment at Eugene In 1904. The veteran Oregon trainer confi dently expects to outpoint the clubmen again in the meet this Saturday. He is willing to concede the visitors first place finishes in the pole vault, the two Jumps and the shot put, but believes the youngsters will carry home tho wreath In virtually all of the remain ing events. Since the Multnomah team will consist of only ten men. It Is granted that the home team will have an advantage in picking up points will the entrance of additional second and third-place men. Ben Williams, the Oregon pole vault er, will not be able to try conclusions again with Sam Bellah, because of the severe sprain sustained by his right ankle during the recent Indoor meet at Columbia University Stadium. Hayward has been doctoring Williams daily, and It is hoped that he will be fit to leave with the Oregon team May 1 for the Ail-Coast meet In California. D SHARPE KICKS AT COAST UMPIRE Oak Manager Says Mertes Is Too Strict for Good of National Game. BILL LEARD IS DEFENDED Second' Sacker Said to Have Been Expelled From Game Because He Refused to Pick ' Vp Ball f6r Umpire. That one or two of the Coast League umpires would do well to cultivate mental - equilibrium Is the belief of Manager Bud Sharps, of the Oakland Coast League Club, who has been thrice removed'from the playing field during thia first three weeks' stretch of the campaign. Sharps Is now en Joying a three days layoff as a result of a run In with Umpire Mertes at San Francisco last Pxinday. "Mertes acted as though he had a chip on his shoulders and was Just achtng to have someone cross with him," said Sharps yesterday as he watched the three-lnnlng rainfest from a box seat. Leard Is Defended. He called Dillon safe when I had him three feet off the bag, and I had a little run-in with him. Later he tried to shove Parkins by force from the coaching box and when I inter fered, be ruled me off. "A ball was thrown In from the bleachers and It rolled midway be tween Leard and Mertes. Mertes gruffly ordered Leard. to get the ball and when Leard replied. "Get it your self. I'm paid to pUy ball out here, not to do your work,' he put him out. "Hoffman then began warming up a man to take Leard's place and he put him out. I was suspended tbree days and fined $25: Hoffman was fined $15, Leard $5 and Parkins $5. I'm not kick ing about my expulsion, but Mertes surely used rash Judgment in kicking Leard and the others out of the game. Lensj (-ood Record Spoiled. . "'For ten years I'vs played ball back East and in all that stretch I was only put out of a game once that time helping a friend but l come out nero and find myself run out at the least excuse." Down at Los Angeles the other day Patsy O'Rourke, of the Sacramento club, availed himself of his expulsion to tear from its staff the orange streamer which Berry had flown from the Sacramento pole over the new grandstand. Patsy had a hard climb to the roof of the atand, but a mighty cheer went up from the bleachers when a green pennant fluttered where orange had blurred the atmosphere before. Berry had written to all the clubs asking them for their choices in color schemes, and when Sacramento failed to respond, the orange contraption was bung forth as a tantallaer to Patsy.
