Charley Comiskey. how many more years do you Intend to pass out this kind ot stuff to Pacific Coast fans? These are ' the only inspirations one could get ou of the fracas at Buffalo Park when BWy Sullivan, of the Chi cago White Box, trotted out three pitchers who cwuldn't make good even in the Coast la"e, and asked that Sacramento fann who had parted with their good mon0' regard the result as baseball. Pitcher Smith, veteran, twirled for the Sox for six innings and made a great battle agaliun Dutch. Klawitter. But in the seventU a trio of so-called pitchers, who coulcl not find the plate, were trotted out a 9d one long inning of sandlot baseball ie't a taste in the mouths of Sacramento fans that all the promises of Jimmy Callahan for the next six months H not remove. The score was S to -3. For six innings it us a good game. When Smith gave waj to a pinch hit ter in the seventh, the' score was 3 to 2 In his favor.

SAN JOSE, Cal.. March 16. (Special.) The first team of the Chicago White Sox today avenged the recent defeat of the Goofs by trimming the Santa Clara University team to the tune of 8 to 4. Safe hits at the right tii.e were responsible for the defea. of the University boys. . Santa Clara got to Russell in bunches In the second and third in nings, but not sufficiently to pile up a big score. The batting of Zarick, the diminutive second-sacker of the Uni versity team, featured the game. He hit out two singles and a double. Fitzpatrick earned a run for his team in the second inning, when he held Al cock's throwing arm momentarily rs he was put out at second, preventing a double play. Umpire Eager did not see the trick.

ANGELS MUST WORK HARDER Billon Puts Team Through Three Hours' Practice Drill. SAN BERNARDINO, March 16. (Special.) For three hours the Los Angeles baseball players toiled and perspired at Urbita Springs Park to day Because the players have not been eating their lunch until late, Dillon had them start practice earlier. The men report now at 9:30 instead of 10 A. M. Batting practice and chasing fungoes constituted the major portion of the work. The pitchers' arms are rounding into excellent condition and there are only two sore soup bones in the squad. TRI-STATE MAY LIVE BISH MAGNATES WILL TRY TO IX Dl'CK PENDLETON TO "DIG IP."

Two factions of women involved in a neighborhood row sat in Municipal Court yesterday and glared at each other. They were on separate benches, by the orders of Judge Stevenson, but they made up in glances what they lacked in words. When an interpreter unraveled their remarks, it became evident that Mrs. Kate Worth's children had called Mrs. Lizzie Krieger a "witch" and that Mrs. Krleger had torn off a fence picket and attacked the children. Judge Stevenson, Prosecutor Stad ter and Clerk Crounse used their best efforts to arbitrate, and the two fac tions finally let the cases against each other drop. BEAVERS HEAD LIS! Rocigers Puts Senators and Angels Next in Line. PORTLAND NINE STRONGEST 'Our Club Last October 25 Per Cent Better Than Either 'Sacramento or Los Angeles Now," Declares Leader of Coasters. SANTA MARIA. Cal.. March 16. (Special.) Bill Rodgers, the great pinch-hitting captain of the Portland champions, is of the opinion that Port land, Sacramento and Los Angeles are the three best clubs in the Pacific Coast League today. Needless to say. Bill thinks the Beavers the class of the trio. Our club last October was 25 per cent better than either Sacramento or Los Angeles now." declared Bill. "So even without Bill James, Rip Hager man and Eugene Krapp, we stack up stronger than any of the others. Youngsters to Be Winners. "West, Krause and Higginbotham are Just as good pitchers as there are in this league. Pape is sure to report later on and I look for at least two of the youngsters to be winners. "So far as the rest of the league Is concerned, I don't think there is an infield or outfield in the circuit that will eclipse ours." Captain Rodgers avers that the Sac ramento catching staff isn't better than Portland's.' with Hannah, of Spo kane, relied upon as first catcher, and Rohrer and Lynn as assistants. How Senators Shoir tp. "The Wolves have suffered more than we," says Bill. "Pitcher Williams went to the big league; Catcher Bliss to Venice and Kenworthy to the Feds. Wolverton has not filled the Hawai ian's shoes, nor will he be able to fill the gip vacated by Kenworthy at sec ond. So far a kid named De Forrest is his only substitute, but he will not hit like the Englishman. "I don't think Tennant at first com pares with Derrick; Shortstop Young cannot hit like Davis, nor does Halli nan rank in stickwork with Third sacker Kores. The new outfielder, Schweitzer, is a good ballplayer, but I wouldn't trade our gardeners for Harry's." Captain Rodgers says somebody'll have to equip him with a Lick tele scope to enable him to see the San Francisco or Oakland clubs. KING SEES RING BATTLE GEORGE ATTENDS BOXING BOUTS AND FENCING MATCH. Presence of Monarch Is Expected Result in Boom for Fight Game In England. LONDON, March 16. King George att ained the distinction tonight of be ing ' the first reigning British monarch to watch a public exhibition of the "no 'le art of self-defense." A the guest of the Second Life Guart 1. of which he is Colonel, he was entert ained at a boxing and fencing tourna tnent at the Regents Park bar racks Bombardier Wells, the ex Brltlsh heavyweight champion, and Pat O'Keefei, of Ireland, gave a fast exhi bition ov ' sparring and several clever amateurs also took part In bouts. In spor ting circles a boom in box ing is exj 'ected as a result of the King's pah -onage. Portlanc Coast Camp Notes SANTA Mj VRIA, Cal., (Portland Training t "lamp), March 16. Spe cial.) Roy Bra shear says his brother; Kitty, tried to send Elmer Hanson to the National Le 'Sue during the Win ter only to find that Chadbourne had grabbed the big n Bernardino pitcher for Portland. Kit y owns a cocktail chateau in San B rnardino. Friday, the 13th, roved unlucky for Mrs. Gus Fisher. Tl 9 wife of the star catcher lost a v&luati ring. . With Kores. Darft '. Rodgers and Derrick on the inflel r McCredie has loads of "pep" the public. and noise to shove on The rlghtfielders are not allowed to recover home runs hit over the sun field fence, for a garden butts up against the wall. "Mrs. Wiggs" ships the spheres back in a bunch every night, however, so Mac doesn't worry when Buddy swats one BO yards into the next township. A bush outfielder reported to Mc Credie yesterday and asked for a trial. "I'll make good sure," said he, ear nestly, "all the boys In Lompoc think so." "Good hitter?" asked Mac. "Yes, sir," the kid shot back. "I get three and four hits nearly every game." "You do," said the Portland manager, his eyes opening. "Yes, sir," said the rookie. "And, and quite a number of them go safe." Roy Brashear thinks "Long Tom" Hughes will prove a big winner for Los Angeles this year. "Walter McCredie and I were with Sioux City in 1900," soliloquized Brash yesterday in the hotel lobby. "Hughes was pitching for Omaha and he had so much speed that the catcher used to get them on a line standing back against the grandstand." Dillon bought the veteran from Washington during the Winter. Harold Peet and Homer Haworth were in the Western Tri-State League with Bobby Davis in 1913. Peet says he sees a wonderful improvement in the star shortpatcher, although he looked sweet with Walla Walla, - Buddy Ryan Is one of the best-na-tured athletes In the camp. Krause, Kores, Speas and Ryan are eternally "kidding" each other, and Bud is al ways there with the comeback. Incidentally, Ryan says his sore leg doesn't trouble him a bite. He tore the ligaments loose from his knee bone last year at Cleveland and Nap critics said the accident slowed him up. Buddy looks just about as he did when with the Beavers In 1910 and 1911.

Each of the colleges is sending rep resentatives for every weight and some have two entries from the same col lege. This will give Portland one of the longest programmes of mat sport ever seen in the city. Dow Walker, of Multnomah Club, hepes to make this meet an annual feature.

TACOXA ATHLETICS LIMITED School Board Orders Ban on Inter City Contests Next Term. TACOMA. Wash., March 16. Dis continuance of lnter-ctty athletics by Tacoma schools after the present school year was voted by the Board of Edu cation today at a special meeting. The ruling will not affect any games arranged for this Spring, so that the baseball and track teams will have the privilege of engaging in contests with teams outside of Tacoma. The school year will end June 12 and the new rule will go into effect at the opening of the Fall term. Brashear Is Expected to Brace lp Portland Batting Averages Roy Llghter Than Last Year and Appears to Be in Form. BY ROSCOB FAWCETT. PORTLAND TRAINING CAMP, Santa, Maria, Cal., March 16 (Special.) Mc- Credie's Coast champs have completed the first stages of their 1914 Spring training. Tomorrow begins the final fortnight's stretch of stiff exhibition games, and, as the Chicago Americans are to furnish the St. Patrick's excite ment, the Beavers marked time today. There was no regular-yannlgan game and little of anything else, except for the pitchers, who were put through a lively drill In the art of covering first base. Portland draws the regular Chicago team tomorrow. Down around Los Angeles the "Goofs" have been dis gracing all self-respecting members of the "Goof" society, whatever it is, but Callahan's squad No. 1 is of a different caliber. The Beavers do not expect to win. although they are de termined to do so if possible. Hanson to Start Game. Elmer Hanson. 185-pound righthand recruit, has been chosen to start for Portland. It will not be surprising if Callahan sends in his star, "Reb" Rus sell, for the big boys like to win the exhibition games just as well as do the minors. Hanson or Salveson, if Hanson's arm is the least bit awry, will twirl only five innings, and then Mac will shove in one of his veterans, either Higgin botham or West. Hig is in the best condition. Haworth will start the backstop duty. Fisher may perform the last two innings. Walter Doane will not be in the lineup because of lameness in his left foot. The injury is not serious. Ex-Coasters With Sox. Ping Bodie, Joe Berger and Four nier are among the ex-Coast players with the first Sox squad. Red Kuhn is in Los Angeles nursing a split hand. He will remain there and join the regulars, while the "Goofs" trudge off northward for a series at Sacramento. The lineups likely will be as follows: Chicago Sox Alcock, ss.; Lord, 3b.; Chase, lb.; Collins, r. f.; Bodie, c. f.; Chappell, L f.; Berger, 2b.; Schalk, c; Russell or Johnson, p. Portland Derrick, lb.; Davis, ss.; Rodgers, 2b.; Kores, 3b.; Ryan, r. f.; Speas, c. f.; Lober, 1. f.; Haworth, c; Hanson or Salveson, p. One of the big surprises in the Beavers' camp right now is the astounding condition of the redoubtable Roy Brashear. The ex-Tiger captain is 15 pounds -lighter than last year and is slinging the ball in practice something marvelous to behold. Without question Manager McCredie knew what he was about when he signed Roy for a utility job. He is guarding against just such a slump as followed his pennant team of 1911. Dave Bancroft can run rings around Brashear, and is too valuable a player to let get away, but, when it comes to checking a slump, throwing Dave in would be like trying to stop an avalanche with a foxhound. veteran JUay save uames. ) Brashear has been keeping Venice up in the running for three or four years, and unless some guessers are sadly mistaken, many a Portland game likewise Is going the Brashear route In 1914, even though the 37-year-old slugger is assigned merely to the bench warming contingent. At the half-way post in this year's preliminary season, Portland cannot resort to any poor weather alibi. Not a bucketful of rain has fallen since the vanguard of the squad reported March 1. The thermometer has been dancing a tango up around the 90 notch. This is fine for pitchers' wings, but hard on the poor correspondents, who must tramp out to the park twice every day to watch the athletes go through a dreary grind. The Portland team will be enter tained at a "baseball dance" tomorrow night after the Chicago game. The Sox leave for Oxnard on an early afternoon train, there to begin a new series against Venice. SEALS WILL START WITH 20 Infielder, Outfielder and Two Mound Men to Be Dropped. BO YES SPRINGS. Cal., March 16. (Special.) That the Seals will start the Coast League season with not more than 20 men, including the manager, was the announcement made today by Del Howard. Barring novice twirlers, there are now 23 men in camp. This will be increased by the addition of Leifleld and possibly of Overall. It is probable one infielder will be released; also one outfielder and one or two twirlers. Colligan Is slated for dismissal. The outfield consists of Fitzgerald, Schaller, Tobln, Hogan and Mundorf. The release stands between Hogan and Tobin. Schaller and Mundorff are fix tures. Howard will hold three catchers, which means that Schmidt, Sepulveda and Clarke are sure of their jobs. The pitching staff includes Charlie Fanning, Bill Tozer, Charlie Baum. Pop Arlett, Lefty Leifleld, Standridge, Benny Henderson, Harry Hughes and Hub PernolL The chances are that two of these will go to slower com pany. Fanning, Tozer, Baum, Leifleld and Arlett should be figured as sure of jobs with the seals. Standridge, Henderson, Hughes and Fernoll must fight for the honors. Pernoll looked better Sunday than at any time last year and he probably will land one of the remaining Jobs. Howard ordered a stiff workout to day at Parramore Park. There was no game between the regulars and yan nigans, but an all-round practice that lasted three hours. BOSS MIKE BOOSTS FOR HOLKE Spokane Manager Thinks Big First- Sacker Is Second Hal Chase. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 16. (Special.) If the San Francisco team wants a first baseman, and it looks as if neither Del Howard nor Walter Cartwright will fill the bill. Boss Del might take a tip from Mike Lynch and engage the services of Holke, who has just arrived to join the Spokane In dians. Lynch might not be so enthus iastic about letting the new man go to the Seals were it not for the fact that he has eGorge Lance Kelly in reserve for the Initial cushion. Lynch la the most energetic booster Holke has in the training camp, and if half i 1 ff A II K :r A U i I I t ' K sin i ant This Cut and Article Below Reproduced From Pearson's Magazine "The above sign, the omnipresent trademark of the fake opti cian, is the bait that is luring a nation into a sight-destroying net. It is so common to a certain class of optical establishments and department stores as to make it familiar to young and old alike all over the United States. Few outside the medical profession, how ever, recognize the danger to human heajfch and life that lurks back of this alluring advertising emblem. In explanation, it is stated that insanity, epilepsy, St. Vitus' dance and several other deadly diseases, not to mention insomnia, sick headache and gen eral nervousness and morbidness, are in many cases traceable to misfit eye glasses and to the improper care of the eyes. Also that these same misfit eye glasses and damaging treatments are gen erally found to have been prescribed by fake opticians, who have attracted their victims with the seductive sign 'Eyes Esamined Free' and $5.00 glasses for $1.00. "Unfortuuately for the generation to follow, people seek relief where it appears to be had at the least cost. Their path, therefore, leads them to an incompetent optician in a department store, where a pair of glasses may be had for $1.00 up, and where a sign read ing 'Eyes Examined Free' is the most conspicuous thing in the room, next to a fake diploma, which is a real work of art." Pearson's is right. There is no such thing as an eyeglass "bargain." The "proper correction of defective eyesight is possible only through the services of skilled specialists to scientifically examine your eyes and a practical optician to adjust the mountings. Any service not combining these essen tials is incomplete and will cause you impaired eyesight.

Howard still insists that if he doesn't play first base Cartwright will be selected for the job, but if Holke is at all worth while the San Francisco management can't af ford to let the newcomer pass by with out looking him over. Holke is a big fellow, standing six feet two. He is a left-handed work man, and, according to Mike Lynch, he looks more like Chase than any chap who has come this way. "Holke is from St. Joseph, Mo., says Lynch, "and the boss in Spokane got him from Peoria. He looks to be the making of a wonderful ballplayer to me. In fact, I think that he is a second Hal Chase. I don't know whether Howard needs a first baseman, but if he does I can recommend Holke. So far as the Spokane club is concerned, we will be hooked up with Kelly, Bill Lange's nephew."
