ttttt iiwrvtvo OT?KOnTAX. "WEDNESDAY, 3TARCII 2o, 1914, 9 BEAVER YOUNGSTER TROUHGES NEGROES Recruit Hanson Pitches Nine . Innings for Victory Over Black Giants. TWIRLER STRONG IN PINCH Perkins Also Shows Well Behind Bat Ebony Players Twice Fill Bases in Iast Two Innings, but Fail to Win. SANTA CRUZ. Cal.. March 24. CSpecial.) Walt McCredie sent one of his young pitching prodigies over the full nine-inning route for the first time today. Elmer Hanson won for Portland over the Chicago Negro Giants, 6 to 2. Fearing a riot among his unem ployed. Manager Mac sent in Speas. Milligan, Bancroft and Derick for the edification of 1000 Santa Cruz fans, but the afternoon was cool and the grounds rough and practically all the interest from a Portland standpoint was focused about Hanson. The big San Bernardino boy pitched a regular Bill James game; that is, walks, errors and hits had him in trouble most of the going and he had to pitch the limit Hanson steadied to the task in a way pleasing to the big Portland manager. Hanson Strong In Ftncbes. Hanson was Bill James all over again on one of Bill's liberal after noons. He gave nine safeties, walked four and hit two. Twice the hard-hitting chocolate tourists had the bases full, in the eighth and ninth innings, only to have their fondest hopes foiled by a grim faced youngster working like a well oiled piece of human machinery. The ninth inning detail will give a good line on the lad's timber. Wil liams opened with a double that Speas almost pulled down, and scored on two Infield outs. Taylor scratched a hit through second. Speas muffed a drive off Loyd's bat and then Hanson doled out his fourth walk, filling the bases. Rube Foster sent out a pinch batter and Hanson promptly struck him out on three hook balls. Chadhourne's protege really appears more of a veteran than many veterans themselves. That he will do seems to be the ruling sentiment about camp. Young Pitcher Also Hits. Nor does Hanson do his thinking with hia right wing. He is wide awake all the time, takes cut-off plays, backs up the bases, moves about with speed and hits great The score today shows two errors chalked against him, but both were excusable. He wheeled a trifle too soon on a signal to second and the ball got by Davis by inches for error number one. Quick fielding of a dif ficult bunt and an attendant high throw to first cost him the other. Perkins' second good showing behind the wlndpad. together with Walter Doane's third field day at bat were oth er noteworthy developments of the afternoon. Catcher Perkins looks better every time he is trotted out for scrutiny. He has a dandy arm, and had Kores cov ered third properly Floyd would have nipped' every attempt at theft The 20-year-old catcher banged out a. two-base hit, too. in the pinch and drove in one of Portland's three runs in the seventh Inning. Singles by Doane and Kores and doubles by Per kins and Hanson cinched the game in that stanza. Black Makes Eight Hits. Lloyd, a huge ape-like negro, at Short for the Chicagoans. secured three more hits, making eight for the series. Hill made a wonderful catch and robbed Speas of an extra-base wallop. The count stands two games for Portland and one 11-inning tie. To morrow these same barnstorming con trasts in color will battle at Watson ville in the final set-to.

Not until Del Howard has had a conference with Cal Ewing will the official lineup of the San Francisco team for the Coast League season be announced. Which means that the naming of the men who are to draw down class AA salaries will doubtless be postponed until the first of the week instead of a decision being reached here at the training camp. Howard now has 24 men in camp, and he will likely have something like 20 players, including himself, but just which of the boys are slated for the toboggan he decline to say. - "I am the manager of the club," he explained today, "and have full power to act, but I would much prefer to dis cuss some of the issues with Kwing before we reach a decision as to what will be done. The entire squad will be taken back to San Francisco and some decision will be reached there ka to. the players to be retained. So far as I can see, there are none of the men who can be turned over to the California League, for they are too strong for the Modesto club. I want as much time as possible before reach ing a final decision on players." HOGAX'S SLLEXCE IS PUZZLE Manager of Venice Tigers May Be Saving Wind for Opening Game. LOS ANGELES, March 24. (Special.) The Venice .regulars and irregulars battled to a thrilling 1-to-l draw prac tice game at Washington Park today. After a session of batting and field ing had been indulged in, "Hap" Hogan divided his men off for a. seven-inning game. On one side was the regulai Tiger lineup, while on the other side was everybody else. During the entire wrangle Hogan didn't utter more than three whoops. Hogan's calm demeanor of the last few days has caused grave fears that either he is not enjoying the best of health or is saving up for a flying Btart when the regular season opens. The umpires fear the latter. The game today was fraught -with much excitement and featured by con siderable foolishness. Jack Bliss ap peared behind the bat for the irreg ulars. "Tex" Edmondson- and Ed Klepfer started pitching for the opposing team, but before the end came nearly every heaver on the team had a chance. To assist the irregulars Ed Walsh, who was exercising at the park, consented to play right field. SCHOOL HEAD IS NAMED Aberdeen High School Principal Be comes City Superintendent., ABERDEEN, Wash., March 24. (Spe cial.) George B. Miller, principal of the Aberdeen High School, was elected Superintendent of the public Echools of the city, to succeed Arthur Wilson, this afternoon.

There were more than 150 applicants for the position. The place carries a salary of 32250 a year. Mr. Miller .has been an instructor In the Aberdeen schools for seven years. t BEAVER TWIRLER WHO WILL t 1914 SCHEDULE I ERIE HIGGIXBOTHAM.

WHITE SOI DEFEAT GOLT RECRUIT GANG Nick Tries Out All Youngsters Against Chicagoans and Loses, 5 to 0. BROMLEY, WILD, RELIEVED Coltrin Plays Sensational Ball and Is Robbed of Home' Run by Poor Coaching Stanley Steady and Fast in Last Innings. SANTA ROSA. Cal., March 24. (Spe ciaL) Manager Nick Williams shunted a corry looking bunch of ballplayers PITCH OPENING GAME OT against the Chicago White Sox club this afternoon and, quite naturally, the Chicagoans won, 5 to 1, which figures are just the reverse of the score last year, when the Colts walloyed the fa mous Rob Russell. It was becoming of the Goofs to beat the Colts, for had they been unable to do so they would no doubt have been the laughing stock of the Coast. A glance at the Williams lineup brings to view some ballplayers never heard of before outside the Golden State. Last year it was different, for he was able to send his strongest team against the big leaguers. Williams sent a Chico boy named Bromley to the mound to start the game and he was as wild as a March hare. He walked seven men in three innings, besides hitting one of them. In the first two innings good fielding soved him, but in the third the sup port weakened and four runs went clattering across the plate. Stanley Believes Bromley. Bromley started the third by walking Blackburne. who reached second when Ruegge dropped Weaver's fly. The pair then pulled off a double steal, and the bases were filled when Fournler ambled. Nick could stand it no longer and sent Stanley to the front. Daley stepped Into one of Stanley's fast balls and turned It into left field, Black burne and Weaver scoring. Ruegge, who seemed to be the door mat of the Chicagoans, attempted to do some heading off at the plate, but his throw was wild, and before the ball could be returned to the diamond Fournier was across and Daley was resting on third. Coltrin made a , great play on Schrieber'-s ground ball and tossed the runner out at first, Daley coming in on the play. After that Stanley had the situation well in hand and the tourists were able to make only one more run this, too, in spite of the fact that a kid catcher named Rockstow kept get ting hit on the mask by Stan's fast ball. Baptists pitched the last two innings. Coltrin Cuts Off Run. The Sox put over their fifth run in the fourth inning, when, with one out. Blackburne routed a double a mile a minute past third base. A passed ball let Blackie get to third, and here Col trin made a sensational play of Wea ver's grounder by taking a hard-hit ball with a bad hop and throwing it perfectly to the plate to stop Russ. Weaver, stole second and took third on a wild pitch, which any other catcher would have stopped. Fournier beat out a hit to Reams and Buck scored. It was the last time the Hosiery was dangerous. Bobble Coltrin, who was the star per former of the afternoon, would have scored a home run with proper coach ing in the second, but in the mixup In the sending or a coacher to third that individual got his signals crossed and was not on the job. The result was that Coltrin had to stop at third after a beautiful sprint on a beautiful drive to right field. It was all to the good, though, for, fortunately, Fulton crowd ed one across second base for a sin gle. All this happened with two down, and Rockstow fanned for the third out. Southpaw Q.uarders Touched. Quarders, .a southpaw, was touched for nine hits, but was well backed up. Otherwise the Colts might have grown a bit more dangerous. The crowd was only a third as large as last year. The score: R H O AE R H O AE Sox I Portland Barbour,3 0 0 1 1 0Whlttle.m.

Oregon Senator Says Public Sentiment, Strongly Favorlns Exemption, Will Be Felt, OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. March 24. "I feel confident that the bill to repeal the free tolls provision of the Panama Canal act can be defeated in the Senate if the vote on that measure is sufficiently delayed," said Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, today. "Thre is no question but public sen timent is overwhelmingly In favor of permitting American coastwise vessels to pass through the canay without pay ment of tolls, and this sentiment is rapidly growing stronger. This change in public sentiment is being felt, and Senators' or both parties have been hearing from home. I have no doubt that if the pressure of public sentiment continues several votes in tlio Seriate will be changed, and there is a fair prospect of defeating the pending bill in the upper branch of Congress. This canal toll question has become a Na tional issue which will figure promi nently in the campaign this year, and that fact is realized by those who are today in doubt how to vote." Senator Chamberlain said he expect ed the Republican Senators to vote al most solidly against the repeal of the free tolls clause, but was not able at this time to say how many Democrats would vote against the President. It is admitted by Senators who are supporting the President that Senator Chamberlain's resolution lias greatly muddied the waters and added to ! confusion of those favoring repeal of me exemption clause.
