IVasoea Mast Par Fee. rnder the old law. with the, season from April 1 to November 1, residents f other states were required to pay $5 for an Oregon license. Now they need only pay $1, while women, former ly exempt, must carry a license or be liable to arrest and fine. Aliens, or those not expressing their intention of becoming citizens, must pay $25 for the nrlvilege of carrying shoulder srms. and In addition must pay SI for fishing license. Formerly It was legal only to eaten salmon trout at all seasons of the year, but now It is legal to catch all trout at any season over ten Inches in length, except from April 1 to Octo ber SI. when the six-Inch trout limit prevails. This enables the fishermen to catch the sea-running cutthroat anj steelhead during the run In Novem ber. December, January, February and March, but prohibits the catching f all trout all year under the gu4se of salmon trout. Good ffport Kxaeeted. The best fishing: this season of the year, according to Game Warden Fin ley. Is In the St. Helens and Scap poose country, and the streams be tween Portland and Seaside, on the Coat. tvith the passing weeks such favored sections as the Clackamas, . with Its tributaries In the Mount Hood section, the headwaters of the Willamette and the Tillamook country will be In fested by the anglers. More than 1.000.000 trout were re leased last season In the territory trib utary to Portland; that Is, In the Clack amas and Its tributaries, and the region between Portland and the Coast, and the fishing Is expected to be excellent this season.

Eddie Mensor seems to be assured of the outfield utility berth with the Pittsburg Pirates this season. HOfman, who has been conceded the best chance for the centerfleld Job. does not look so well.

"BOOSTERS" ARE VOGUE BASEBALL- CLTB TO SEE THAT A LI MEMBERS ABE SEATED. Official Rooter Dunne Preparing Something Xew In the Yell Line. Easterner Will Assist. "One feature alone made a Baseball Booster out of me." raid a well-known fan yesterday, "and that -is the guar antee of a seat at the opening game. The throngs customary on such occa sions make it practically Impossible for the baseball people to reserve seats for Individuals, but a section of the stands can be roped off and planed In charge of a committee from the Boost ers' Club and In that way reserved for those who beoome members." The big stand erected last year by the McCredies was taxed to its utmost on the opening day last season, and many fans were unable to secure a seat when they arrived at the park. This was especially so In cases where they participated In the parade. The Baseball Boosters' Club alms to take care of every individual member of the boosters, and will make a spe cialty of providing seats for those who are enrolled and wear the booster but ton on April 15. By special arrange ment with W. W. McCredle, president of tha Portland club, the boosters will be provided with as many seats as they desire. These seats will he distributed among the members several days be fore tho opening date, and all members who attend the games between the Colts and American Giants will be able to pick out their places for opening day and be guaranteed such a location, if selected in the booster section. J. E. Dunne, chief rooter of the Booster Club, is preparing a series ot songs and yells to be rehearsed by ths leather lunsed contingent of the club, which will be seated in a body In the boosters' reserve, alongside of which wlil be placed the band on duty on the opening day. A number of years as an ardent follower ot tha Chicago Cubs and White Sox have especially fitted Chief Rooter Dunne for the title conferred upon him by the Portland Boosters. lis will pull soma new wrinkles in the rooting line during the coming baseball season. Dunne also will likely have the assistance of A. H. Deute, a former Eastern College yell leader, who has affiliated himself with the Baseball Boosters. M. B. "Bud" Z'jmwalt. a veteran fan of Wasco County, "butted" Into Ray Barkhurst yesterday afternoon and promptly became the possessor Of a ''Beavercolt" badgo. . KTS Hi r Hopes Based on Increased Strength of Pitching Staff and Harder Hitting Infield Snpply of , Catchers Praised' Also. Judge W. W. McCredle. president of Portland's two baseball teams, believes that the Beavers will win the opening game of the Pacific Coast League sea son against Pan Francisco today, take the series from the Seals, and figure In the first division from start to finish. The "Judge" makes no predictions anent the winning of the pennant, but is confident that the team Is infinitely stronger than last year's, and that It will.be knocking at the door for the pennant when the campaign is nearing Its close. "Prospects for a winning team in Portland were never brighter than to day." declares the "Beavercolt" mag nate. "True, the leasue has been growing a little faster each year, but not in the history of our experience with baseball In Portland have the prospects been so alluring-. "I base my hopes of Beaver success upon the vastly increased strength of the pitching staff and a harder-hitting Infield than the one which appeared In the box scores for Portland last year. These two items sura up the superiority of the 1913 Beavers over those of 1912. "Walter McCredle has never had such a largo and strong pitching staff. He had a wonderfully strong quartet of men In Qregg, Krapp, Steen and Seaton, with Garrett also going fine, but this year he has at least seven men all of whom should figure as prominently in -the percentage column as the corps of 1911. Htgginbotham, Carson, Krause, Hagerman, James, West, Krapp, and perhaps Stanley, fur nish a splendid pitching staff. It will not be necessary to depend on three or four men to carry the pitching burden this year. "I think the catching staff, with Fisher and Berry tho dependables. is as good as any Portland ever had. We had McLean and Donahue.'but they did not have good relief men. Fisher and Berry are both good: Berry surely will be able to fill the gap left by Howley. The outfield Is practically the same as last year, while the infield has been strengthened in hitting with Derrick and Kores, with McCormick and Heil man able substitutes. "I have a hunch that, not only will we take the first game from the Seals, but take the series as well." . "Scoop" Gleason. of the San Fran cisco Bulletin, thinks that Oakland, Portland and Venice are the teams to be reckoned with when it comes to figuring a Pacific Coast League pen nant winner for 1913. He thinks the Oaks are the favorites, with Portland and Venice on a par. The reconstruction of the Beavers. with the presence of so many men of known reputation, accounts for the. po sition of the Beavers, fourth place team last season, while the fighting spirit and hitting ability of Hap Hogan's Gondoliers are the chief assets of the Venice club. Gleason cannot see the Angels, feared by McCredle, on account of tha absence of Berger, Daley and Helt- muller. He thinks that the Sacra mento team will be a big disappoint ment. -San Francisco is praised for Its fighting spirit, and Is called the sur prise of the year, yet the praise Is lukewarm. ... A number of Portland baseball fans are planning ot invade Vancouver, Wash.. Thursday afternoon, when the American Giants of Chicago play the Vancouver team. The colored boys play In Portland against the Colts on April 12-13. ' CHECH AND HITT ARE CHOSEX Los Angeles and Venice Open in Former City Today. LOS ANGELES, March 31. Los Ange. les and Venice (nee Vernon), each rated as a serious contender, because of pre season form, for the 1913 pennant, will open the Pacific Coast League season at Washington Park tomorrow. Ths rivalry between the two teams, which grew tense last season because of the closeness of the pennant race, has not been mitigated and as each team has a host of rooter, record crowds and much noise are expected. For the first series Captain Dillon, of Los Angeles, has decided to use his veteran twirler, Charley Chech. In ths opening game and Manager "Happy" Hogan will probably employ his star left hander. Hoy Hltt. The game will be preceded by an automobile parade. Following are the announced lineups of the teams: Los Angeles, Page, second base; Ellis, left field; Moore, third base; Maggart, center field; Howard, right field; Gill, first base; Johnson, shortstop; Boles, catcher; Chech, pltoher. Venice, Carlisle, left field; Kane, center field; Patterson, first base; Brashear, second base; Bayless, right field; Lttschl, third base; Hosp. short stop; Tonneman. catcher; Hltt, pitcher. FARMERS TO TEST GAME LAW Objections Raised to Permission Given Anglers. HILLSBOR.O, Or., March 31. (Spe cial.) Hundreds of farmers In Wash ington County are in arms against sec tion 41, amendment to the game laws of the state, giving anglers the right to use as a highway for angling pur poses all territory between tha streams and the high water lines. This would mean. In many Instances, that a fisher man could walk over half of an owner's place, as the Tualatin River and Dairy Creek ofttlmes flood acres of terri tory. A number have signified their inten tion to test the law. The objectionable section follows: Section 41.
