Santa Staria, Cal., March 20. (Special.) If the cogs in Portland's pennant machine do not work smoothly this year it will not be the fault of tho Palmer Union Oil Company. Walter McCredie and his clan saw enough oil this afternoon to make John I". Rockefeller forget for ever his $350,000 daily income. The Beavers went on a tour today . of the Palmer Union lease, 16 miles southeast of Santa Maria, as the quests of President Brown and Superintendent Tooker, and quite some auto joyride it was. There were hair oil wells, olive oil tpoiitors. salad sumps and a myriad of 3000-foot shafts oozing up the old fashioned viscuous stuff they slobber on the carrails to keep the wheels from squeaking on the turns. Shoes Carry Away Hulk. Oil enough to calm the ocean was there on. exhibition, in tanks and in huge open-air reservoirs about the size of Multnomah field. Some of It is there yet, although ap parently the bulk of the resources the boys toted back on Their shoes. - It cost approximately 130.000 to sink a. 3000-foot shaft, according to Super intendent Tooker. Inasmuch as they do not know then whether the geyser i.-f going to exude oil, water or may onnaise dressing; the experiment is costly sometimes. ' It can be announced authoritatively, that all the Beavers will be on hand tomorrow. There will be no deserters and 'twere well. Mae will need all hands, including longshoremen and the cabin boys, tomorrow. Black Play Real Ball. The Chicago negro Giants are sched uled here for the first engagement of a four-gaine series, and theio pickanin nies need no further recommendation than a reference to last year's series. They are coming in all shades and fan cies ebony, mulatto, bun cochin, sepia andjtrst plain jet. But every cloud conceals a ball player of real class. Frambach wjll be on the hill for the Beavers. It will be the first real test for the fast-growing Idaho phenomenon, and Mac intends to let him go tho full nine innings. Whether Rube Foster's black crew will agree to the arrangement re mains for tomorrow to disclose. 11a ' worth will catch. Either Francis or Lindsay will twirl for the negroes. jMegroe Hitc Old Lineup. With one or two exceptions the Ethi opians will bring the same club that licked the Coast champions one year ago. Cans, In right held, is one of the new faces. Ts not Joe. Foster's pitch ers are Francis. Lindsay, Dougherty, Williams, Wade and Rube "hlsself." . Before departing for the oil field Junket this morning the Beavers lim bered up for 30 minutes at tho ball orchard. But it was the same old grind. Harry Krause's left arm is coming around in good shape now, but HI West is doctoring his "souper," as the pitch ing arm is known in the vernacular of the diamond. Derrick and Fisher likewise are com plaining a little of soreness, but the rest of the flock appear able-bodied. Either Higginbotham or Krause will pitch the opening game March 31 at Sacramento, announced Manager Mc Credie tonight.

(Spe ciaL) Arthur Devlin skipped across the bay today, leaving his cohorts in charge of Captain Cook. The helmsman put the boys through the paces as in augurated by the admiral himself. Dev lin's trip was not a sightseeing one by any means, bis objective point being Recreation Park. It is rumored the Oak chieftain has his optics glued on Lou Barbour, the inflelder of the rejuvenated Goofs. If this young man played his normal game yesterday it is highly probable his name will be added to the Oak roster, providing satisfactory arrangements can be made wtth Callahan. Mltze was in harness today for the first time and appeared to be in fine condition. The receiver is five pounds below his normal weight and requires only sufficient exercise to harden him self for the daily grind. The coming of Mitze will force Jones back to the State League. Gardner did not respond to duty's call today and Zacher Is laid up with a se vere cough and cold, accompanied by chills, the usual symptoms of the grippe being prevalent.

Ex-Philadelphia Pitcher Wishes to Play With Federal Club With Which He Signed.' CHICAGO, March .20. The task of settling the Seaton case, first of the Federal League player disputes, was begun today. Both the Chicago club, for whom Seaton was originally signed by President Weegham, and the Brook lyn Club, represented here by George Ward, are desirous of retaining the ex-Philadelphia pitcher. President Gilmore said Seaton legal ly is the property of Brooklyn, having been awarded that club when the Wards decided to take the franchise. Weegham said he had promised R. B. Ward, president of the Brooklyn Club, his choice of pitchers on the Chicago staff and that Ward picked out Seaton, who thereupon was turned over to him, though Chicago got nothing in return. Seaton wishes to play with Chicago, with which team he has been prac ticing. If the pitcher is lost to the Brook lyn team, Hendrix may be awarded to President Ward. The Chicago Nationals will begin the season with their present pitching staff, according to President Thomas. It was reported that they would seek to purchase or get in a trade one or more additional first-class men. XEAV BILLIARD GAME PLANNED Tom Foley Thinks' Balk Line Rule Too Easy for Hoppe. CHICAGO, March 20. A new billiard game must be devised to put Willie Hoppe on an even footing with his nearest competitor, according to Tarn Foley, the "father of billiards." who has arranged most of the championship matches of the West for some years. Foley today advocated a game in which the table would be divided Into four equal oblongs by lines drawn from the center of each side and end parallel to the sides and ends. The rules would provide that one of the object balls must be driven across one of the dividing lines after each shot. Fine cushion play, he said, would be brought out by the scheme, and skillful placing of the balls would be a development of play. EMIL HUHX LOOKS LIKE PRIZE Seattle's Xew Catcher Shows Well on First Day of Practice. SEATTLE. Wash.. March 20. (Spe cial.)

Pitcher David son, who has been employed by the Great Northern, attached . himself to the squad and worked himself into a job, being signed today. . ;. COAST PITCHERS POUNDED Deconnairc, Clilcttc and Harkncss Deliveries Rapped to All Sides or ' Park "Reb" Russell and Cicotte Toss for Chicago. LOS ANGELES, March 20. (Special.) Mr. "Kid" Gleason turned today's game over to more experienced help. The logical result was another trounc ing for the Tigers, the only item of surprise being that the score did not list more heavily in the direction of the Sox. Finals: Chicago 6, Venice 4. A lowly agriculturist having blanked the Tigers on Thursday, it was ex pected that "Reb" Russell and Eddie Cicotte, men with well-developed major league callouses, would do fully as welV But they did not; that is, "Reb" didn't, and in the seventh Gleason gave the finger to him. Cicotte crimped the Tigers in the last two innings. Hap Hogan started with Decanniere and finished with Chlette, Harkness horning in for two innings between times. The Sox sloughed their combined pitching to 17 different sec tions of the park. And what's more, the plain or garden variety of base hits would not satisfy them; they resorted to two triples and three doubles to carry out their diabolical designs. It sure was an easy day for the Sox. The score: White Sox 1 Venice BHOAE BHOAE 5 3 8 4 Carlisle,!.. 5 2 4 0 0 5 i ! 10 beard.

NO MORE does the aspiring baseball reporter dare to walk up to the office of Judge McCredie, rap,, walk in and say "Howdy, Judge," with Just that little eclat. Things have been getting too warm. The president of the Portland baseball club is steeped in the deepest mystery. The whole tale lies in the identity of Mick Donald, as yet unknown to the Judge. Each day when the president of the ball club getsto the office he finds various and sundry demands, written in an unknown hand, scattered about his desk. Yesterday was no exception and the president accordingly has decided to be on hl3 guard. Now when the baseball reporter comes up to the suite on the eighth floor of the Yeon building, he pulls out a card ar.d sends it in. If the card seems to be all right. heavy chains and a big brass lock are heard in action. The visitor is shown in and there sits the Portland baseball mogul as chubby as ever, but at his side reposes a stack ol notes. Each bears the same words. "Mick Donald wants his shoes." Now the judge has no idea who Mick Donald is and still is not aware that he has run off with anybody's shoes, but -the handwriting on the sheets of paper is getting bigger and bolder every day and if they keep on coming. there will be a sign out at the office: Judge McCredie has gone to the country." PHILLIES MAY EXJOIX SEATON Manager Dooln Says Killirer Will Remain With actionals. WILMINGTON, N. C, March 20. When informed that application for an injunction to restrain Killifer from playing with the Philadelphia Nationals had been filed at Grand Rapids, Charles Dooin, manager of the club, said the move had been anticipated, and his course o faction had been clearly out lined by legal counsel for the club. "We have no fear whatever of losing Killifer and we expect Tom Seaton to return to the club before the season opens. We shall ask for an injunction restraining him from playing with the Federals. I understand he has joined the Chicago training squad at Shreve-porfc" COLTS REGULARS YOUNG HOUSEMAN STARS AT BAT WITH THREE HITS. Redskin Works Three Innings and Snr- PrlMea Boys by Nabbing Couple of Men Off Base. SANTA ROSA, Cal., March 20 (Spe cial.) The second day in camp at Santa Rosa taw a six-inning game between two teams picked at random from the multitude of Portland Colts. The team containing the majority of regu lars won. 7-1. Young Hauseman starred at the bat with three hits out of three times up, while Catcher Coleman and Duke Whitt also came in the limelight with two slashing drives each. These three young players look as if they would give anybody a tough fight dis placing them from the regular lineup. Fulton of Long Beach and Allen of Oakland look pretty good on first, and are the kind that will Improve. Tho Indian Battlste showed himself a foxy pitcher. He worked three innings. and surprised the boys by nabbing a couple of men off the bases and other wise acting in the box like a veteran. Bromley, Jameson, Carrick and O'Donnell were the other twirlers, and contented themselves with putting the ball straight ovxer the plate and giving their outfielders plenty of exercise. Babe Reams at second base has lived up to all the" good things said about him by the various expert critics. Though a big, rangy, shifty fellow, he Is all over the field without any appar ent effort. At o the bat he has not proved himself popular with the out fielders on the opposite team, as he has had them all with their tongues hang ing out from retrieving his long drives. A miniature riot almost .started at the ball park' by an old Irish rancher who drove 20 miles to town to buy a couple of Portland Cplts, and when he found out they were two-legged colts, he de clared himself "in forcible terms. ' In fact there was nobody on the ball park too big for him. . ' Boston 5, Newark 3. MACON. Ga.. March 20.

The proposed American tour of the Keio University baseball team, of Tokio. Japan, will be greatly curtailed as a result of a fac ulty ruling announced today. Accord ing to cable advices, the Japanese play ers have been ordered to return to the university not later than June It. This ruling will necessarily conflne the play ing schedule to the Pad tic Coast. Honeyman Team Organizing. The fast Honeyman team of last year is in the field again for the season of 1914. The manager would like to hear from all of last year's players and also any fast amateurs who would like to try out.

W. Pomranig Is the manager. Piedmont Team in Field. The Piedmont baseball team is ready to enter the local amateur field with a strong team, practically the same as that of last year. It now wants games. They can be arranged by call ing N. J. Taylor at 171 KIrby street. SLOGGER WILLIAMS' FIGHT One of the Boxers in Tom Brown's School Pays" Passes On. Bulkelcy Owen Jones, who has been identified with Slogger Williams, one of- the noteworthy characters of "Tom Brown's School Days," departed this life a few days ago, ' following his opponent in the famous fight, Augustus Orlcbar, the original of "Tom Brown," who died two years ago, in the defini tive edition of "Tom Brown's School Days," Just published by the Putnams, the editor, 1''. Sidgwick. makes this comment regarding the bout in ques tion: "Tom Brown's fight with 'Slogger Williams' Is quite certainly founded on fact, as is testified by the reminis cences of the two original combatants and one of- the 'backers,' Tom Hughes being the other. They were, however, not in different houses, . but both Schoolhouse boys; and the fight, which occurred in 1841, took place,, not in the recognized spot behind the chapel, but in the Schoolhouse hail, as the day was wet. "The two principals were Augustus Orlebar and Bulkeley Owens Jones, backed' respectively by J. G. Hollway and Tom Hughes. . What caused the fight has not been 1 recorded; but it aroused Interest at the time partly because the combatants were in upper fifth and the upper middle fifth, re spectively, and partly because Orlebar 'fainted and could not come up to time,' and Jones, who was 'much more pun ished,' was so disfigured that Dr. Arn old did not know him. Arnold stopped the fight, and both combatants, when they recovered, had to repeat 200 lines of Virgil to him for breaking the rules. Both also became and remained firm friends. Their last meeting was appro priate enough, as is shown in the fol lowing reminiscences of the Rev. A. Orlebar: " 'I was sitting under a tent in Dr. James' garden at the time when so many Rugbeians went up from far and wide to attend the unveiling of the statue to dear old Tom Brown.' Whilst I sat there musing on the years that were past and on what changes had occurred at Rugby and In my life since I left the Bchool as a boy, an elderly clergyman came along and sat down beside me. We began to talk, and he soon told me that he was ac tually in the school when Arnold died. That opened the floodgates of both memory and tongue and I asked him his name, for I did not recognize him. ' 'When he mentioned it I stared in surprise, but when I told him mine he looked at me perfectly astonished. Then we shook hands heartily, expressed our delight at thus meeting, and had a pleasant chat, referring to the "little turn-up" we had had when we were both boys at Rugby!'" TALCUM POWDER ADVICE Criminals Shown to Be Responsive to Mental Treatment. "The Next Step in Prison Reform," in the Century. At this precise point more than half our state prisons are languishing in the doldrums of reformation. From most of them the old and revolting forms of brutality have been stripped, but nothing has been devised to take their places. The whipping-post, the leg-irons, the mugging penalties are abolished. The convict immediately, with sly glee, notes his immunity from severe punishment, and dares to go to lengths he never would have dreamed of in the old brutal days. Whereupon discipline relaxes: work is undone; prison factories do not pay: the soli tary confinement cells and the hospi tals are overcrowded. All of which places in the hands of the reactionaries a powerful argument. They call sternly for a return to the former tools of discipline. "I don't be lieve in the talcum powder treatment for criminals," said an old warden. re cently. "They are hard men, and if you use baby lotions on them they merely despise you." "You are wrong," replied a younger warden. (This conversation I overheard one night during a session of a reoent prison corlgress. ) "Criminals are only children. They are not full-grown mem tsJly. If so, they would not be crim inals. Being children, very pitiful, weak little children, using 'talcum powder,' if you choose to call it that, is the very treatment for them. The only mistake a warden can make is in letting the convict think that he, the warden, is also a child." t Kipling Through Hindu Eyes. A recent article in the North Amer ican Review ("Rudyard Kipling Seen Through Hindu Eyes") gives interest ing testimony to the perfection of Kip ling's pictures or Indian scenery.

Will Powesor Scolch-Irisli. The outstanding trait of the Scotch man was wilL Ixo other element was so masterful and contentious. In a petition-alrected against their immigra tion, the Quakers characterized them as "pernicious and pugnacious people" who "absolutely want to control the province themselves." The stubborn ness of their character is probably re sponsible for the unexampied losses in the battles of our civil war. They fought the Indian, fought the British with great unanimity in two wars, and were in the front rank in the conquest of the West. More than any other stock has this tough, gritty breed, so lacking In poetry and sensibility, mold ed our National character. If today a losing college crew rows so hard that they have to be lifted from their shell at the end of the boat race, it is be cause the never-say-die Scotch-Irish fighters and pioneers have been the picturesque and glowing figures in the imagination of American youth. How the Scotch-Irish Came. Century. The flailing of the clans after the futile rising of 1745 made the Scots restless, and in the last 12 years of the colonial era 20,000 Highlanders sought homes In America. But most of our Scottish blood came by way of Ireland. Early in tho 18th century the discriminations of Parliament against the woolen industry of Ireland, and against Presbyterianlsm, provoked the largest immigration that occurred before the revolution. The Ulster Pres byterians were descended from Scots men and English who had been Induced between 1610 and 1618 to settle in the north of Ireland, and who were, in Macaulay's Judgment, . "as a class, su perior to the average of the people left behind them." They cared for ideas, and at the beginning of the outflow there was probably less illiteracy in Ulster than anywhere else in the world. Entire congregations came, each beaded by its pastor. Equal Suffrage Polling Places. George Creel in March Century. The inevitable first result of equal suffrage is the removal of polling places from the neighborhood of sa loons. What was good enough for men is not good enough for their women folk. For the most part, voting booths are in churches, parlors, corner gro ceries, or schools. Illinois had many of its polling places decorated with potted plants, many Kansas towns in troduced no smoking regulations, and in all of the older equal suffrage states there Is yet to be recorded an instance of Insult to women in connection with the franchise.

The first legal shot of the baseball war of 1914 was fired today by the Federal League in filing a petition with the United States District Court for' the Western District of Michigan, asking for an injunction to restrain William J. Killifer, Jr., formerly catch er of the Philadelphia Nationals, from playing baseball with any club other than the Chicago Federals. Killifer signed a three-year contract with the Chicago Federals, but after wards was persuaded that the reserve clause in his old contract with the Phil adelphia Club held him legally to Phil adelphia and joined his former team. The suit Involves the legality of the reserve clause, long regarded as one of the bulwarks Of organized baseball. The suit was brought in the Western Michigan district because Killifer is a resident of Paw Paw, Mich. The complaint which was signed by Charles Weeghman, president of the Chicago Federal League Baseball Club, told of the signing of the contract by Killifer in which he agreed to play for three years for the Chicago Federals for a total of $17,500 or $5833.33 a year. The contract, a copy of which was at tached to the petition for an enjoining order, expressly stipulated, the court was informed, that Killifer agreed to dovote hie entire tiniu and attention to the service of tho Chicago Federals.
