SAN FRANCISCO. April 6. (Special.) Hiram West, "the best pitcher in the Pacific Coast League." according to Manager Walter McCredie. will twirl the opening game for Portland against the San. Francisco Seals tomorrow afternoon. His opponent will be "Skeeter" Fan ning. Del Howard will be at first base for the Seals. Otherwise the two rivals will line up exactly as dur- ng the initial week, of the year. Portland outhlt, outran and outfielded Sacramento last week, winning three of the five games, but the Seals were playing a bang-up game against Ve nice in the interim, so, from all indi cations, there Isn't a great deal of mar gin between the Beavers and Seals. The impending series no doubt will be a strenuous one. Fonr tiiimn Necessary. 'Give us four games of the seven and we will be satisfied." said Manager Mack tonight.

Boj. la Hlch Spirits. The Beavers reached town by electric line from Sacramento at noon. All are In high spirits, for the boys think they are on a pennant-winning crusade again. Frank Schmieder says there Isn't a sore arm on the staff and that helps some. Portland averaged upward of eight hits a game against the Solons, and Mack's "uncertain" pitching corps al lowed an average of only six hits contest. Harry Krause's 10-walk exhl bltion was the only poorly slabbed game of the opening week, which is saying a lot for "Doc" Schmieder's carefulness. .Tha totals for the series were: R It- E Portland 19 43 Sacramenta. 10 31 COLUHOPENSSEASON Portland Academy Will Face University Boys, Who Will Have Two New Knees In Lineup. W eather permitting, the opening game f the 1914 season in the Portland In terscholastic Baseball League will be taged on the Multnomah Field tomor row afternoon, with the Columbia Unl versity nine opposing the Portland Academy tossers. The contest will tart promptly at 3:15 o clock, and Ed Rankin will officiate as umpire. The collegians will have but two new faces in the lineup this year. Bloch and McKenna being the new additions. McKenna will play second, taking the place of Collins, who has been removed to the bench because of his failure to hit. Bloch has taken Nlles" place in the real fast Infield baseball. Harry Krause outdid his wildest per formauce of last season when n walked 10 Senators last Thursday in eight innings. On September 24 against San Fran Cisco in Portland ha walked nine Seals In nine innings. Hafey. a Portland recruit, holds th record for the past three years in "th Coast circuit.

Mck Plentifnlly Supplied With Twlrlers Jnst Now and Garrett Needs One, but Which Man Goes Is Unknown. Nick Williams with II of the Port land North westerners arrived in Port land yesterday preparatory to a week's series with Helena. The first game takes place this afternoon at Vaughn street park, starting at 3 o'clock. in is series. Nick says, will be the determining factor of the training sea son, and before the week is over his squad will be cut down nearly to 17 men. the number he will carry with ntm. Jess Garrett and Nick had a long confab at the Hotel Cornelius last night, but when It ended Jess was not certain as to which man Nick would be able to shift over to him. Williams is plentifully supplied with pitchers just at present, and Jess needs one. It Is practically certain that one of the twlrlers will be sent over to Garrett for seasoning, but which one it wtll be is for this week to decide. While Nick has never questioned the strength of his Infield, he declares tha yesterday s practice was really th first time that heeaw It working as I should. He says it is the first time the team has been on a field which allowed field, and Nlles has been sent to cover third, left vacated by the departure of Sid Laswell, the 1913 third Backer. Both teams have Indulged In pre- season contests with the Academy nine. coming out on top. The Vancouver High, Washington, squad lost to the Academy 4 to 0 last week, and the col legians lost to Jefferson High 8 to 4. Because of his ability to field as well as hit.

McKnne Is going to start '.he ram today at third base. "Terry" also 'ook tr- subject for Nick's Junior Infield, and the young blood all around seems to have accomplished the results sought. Nick has a fast club. Bromley and Coleman probably will be the battery for today's game. This gives Portland a peek at two of the new Colts. The alternates for the job are Grady and Murray. Murray Is known to Portland and tirady is yet to be introduced. Fulton, another new man, will play first. Whltt. Melchior and Ilauaman will handle the outtleld. This combi nation, though not decided on as the one which will carry the title of Colt regulars. Is a fair hitting combine. But Guigni. of course, gets into that and others are still to be considered. Nick has a full crew of pitchers. Among them is Battlste. the full-blood Sioux Indian, who bids fair to rival Jim Thorpe as an athlete. Ho is deaf and dumb. Incidentally, Catcher Colemsn will be Rattiste's batterymate.

They .succeed as lawyers not only because they can play upon the Jury, but because they are quick in thrust and parry. They abound In newspaper of f ices', because their imag ination enables them to keep "in touch" with the public mind. The Irishman rarely attains the thorough knowledge of the German physician; but he makes his mark as surgeon because he Is quick to perceive, and to decide when tha knife discloses a grave, un suspected condition. The Irishman accepts the Krse prov erb. "Contention is better than loneli ness." Ills nature goea out to the other fellow all the time, declares wise priest. The lodge meeting of Hibernian benevolent association Is revelation of kindness and delicacy of feeling in rough, toll-worn men.

Members of the University of Washington crew explained today why they had come a week in advance oC the intercollegiate regatta on the Oakland Estuary next Saturday. Summed up In a word the reason was mumps. An epidemic of mumps is prevalent at the northern university, and to escape being placed in quarantine, the rowers were spirited away by Hlrom Conibear, the coach and brought to San Francisco, where they will continue training for the contest against Stanford and California. There are 22 athletes in the squad, including the freshman crew. BEATING ENDEARS SPOUSE Colored Woman Willing to Support Husband if He Will Return. GALESBL'RG, 111., April 1. Pleading for the release of her husband, who had been arrested for wife-abandon ment, Mrs. Charles Nelson, a colored woman, told the Judge that she would gladly support her wayward spouse and pay the rent if he would return to her. Nelson had explained to the court that he left home because his wife refused to support him. "Will I take him back?" exclaimed the woman. "I should say I would. Do you think I want to lose him after the way he has beat me up?" Nelson was released and the reunited couple went away happy.

Buddy wields a bat almost as bl around as a barrel and, any time yo read of Buddy going hitless, you ca put it down that the undertakers are preparing to bury a couple of lnileld ers. Not often is a pitcher charged with a wild pitch on a legal strike. Yet this happened Friday to Arellanes, of Sacramento. Ty Lober took a wicked swing at one of his drops: it hit the dirt, caromed off from Catcher Rohrer and allowed Korea to amble from second to third. The official scorer found himself In the throes of a dilemma, instanter. but he called the correct turn by making It a wild pitch. .The rules make no dis tinction as to whether the batter strikes at it or not. Walter McCredie is much stuck on the development of his third-string backstop. Floyd Perkins, 20-year-old Oregon lad. Perky has an arm that Is as strong as a steel spring. He gets his throws off with much more rapidity than does Haworth, but he lacks Haworth's ex perience. One month will do wonders for 1 youngster, so keep your eyes on him. Schweitzev the outfielder obtained by Sacramento from the Southern League to take Lewis' place, has not strengthened the Senators, judging from his first week's pastiming. He is a nice, clean chap, but not par ticularly fast and not an extremely dangerous hitter. The 1913 averages ehow that he hit .263 for Memphis in 121 games. These same statistics cor roborate another suspicion gained by watching his work in left field, name ly, that Schweitzer has a poor throw ing arm. Last year In 121 games Schweitzer figured In only eight assists. It may be that few opportunities were presented calling for assists, but eight for f. season sounds tame. Prac tieally every Coast outfielder of note averaged better than one assist in every eight games last year. Schweit zer's was one in lo games. Doane and Lober were the only two high-class Coast throwers who went below this standard. Speas threw out 17 runners in 27 games. Chadbourne 23 in the season. Moran 30 and Shlnn 26, Ba'yless 39.

Henderson, at the senlth of his ca recr. espoused the cause of Ueorge Ruth, his farm foreman, who had been arrested for an alleged attack on Hen derson's daughter. Henderson employed the ablest lawyers to fight his family and Ruth was acquitted. The town was divided. Mrs. Henderson obtained a d vorce decree and Henderson removed Chicago, after showing a draft for $60,000 on the day of his departure. When he returned home penniless years later and was refused hospitality he said he dropped his fortune on the Board of Trade. Five years ago he be came paralyzed and was sent to the farm.

(Spe ciaL) Plans and estimates for the proposed Willamette Valley Southern freight depot are rapidly nearlng com pletion and within the next 10 days active construction will probably be commenced. The building will be abont 30 by TO feet and will be located on Main street, just south of the point where the tracks of the company cross the street. The depot will be used not only by the local concern bat also by the Port land Railway, Light at Power Com pany. Each road will build a side track to the building. With a com mon freight house, the exchange of freight, as the contract recently signed specifies, will be made much easier. The offices of the Willamette Valley line will probably be moved from thei present location In the Beaver building as soon as the freight depot Is com pleted. Two camps are now working along the right of way of the company and a third will be established within 10 days about nine miles from this city Two piledrlvers are busy on trestle work and about 110 men are employed.

Traveling 2500 miles to report the Spring training work of a baseball team in a Class D league may seem to be an improbable proposition, but nevertheless that Is what Joe Price, sporting edttor of the Calgary Morning Albertan. is doing at the present time. Mr. Price was In Portland yesterday and Is on his way to Alameda. Cal., where the Calgary team has assembled to do Its preliminary work in prepara tion for the race for pennant honors with the other Canadian prairie cities. It is as long a Journey as any major league "war correspondent" has ever made to report the Spring training work of any one big league team and Is an indication ot the interest that ts being taken at the present time by tne Canadians iu the American Na tional game. Mr. Price has been sent on his long Journey by the Calgary City Council and the industrial bureau of the Cal gary Board of Trade. He ts to re port the Spring training trip of the "Bronchos" that is what the Canadi ans call the Calgary team for three of the Calgary daily papers. "You may think that we have gone clean crnxy over baseball," said Mr. Price to The Oregonlan yesterday, "but we think Just as much of our Class D team as you do of your Class-A boys, and perhaps more. In our league we have a salary limit of $100 a month and carry 14 men to the team. There are few Class C leagues that pay as good salaries and 1 know of some Class a leagues that would think that they were going bankrupt if they had to pay that much.
