Today's - Games. Portland at San Francisco. Seattle at Los Angeles. Oakland at Salt Lake. Vernon at Sacramento BY HAKRY M. GRAYSON. The Portland Pacific coast league elub will commence a seven-game se ries at San Francisco this afternoon, and Manager Walter Henry McCredie is confronted with the perplexing prob lem of battling the hustling Seals with Just one dependable pitcher Carroll Jones. Charley Graham's club lost five out of seven to Vinegar Bill Essick's Ver non Arbackles at Los Angeles last week, but it forced the southerners to employ Herculean efforts always. For instance. Saturday's game was a 15-inning affair. Up until last week the Seal Rocks City boys had been going like a house afire. Wild Bill Clymers Seattle Rainiers proceed from Salt Lake to Los Anreles to tackle Johnny Powers' veterans. The northerners dropped four out of six to Eddie Herr"s sluggers, who are always as tough as old hickory in their own bailiwick. It was a big disappointment for Clymer, who expressed the opinion before leaving here a week ago that he expected to break even in Utah. Vernon, which Jumped into sixth place by virtue of its successes against San Francisco, will declare war on Bill Eodnrs at Sacramento. Oakland plaw at Salt Lake and another set of slug-E-insr matches is due in Prexy Lane's burg, for both the Bees and the Oaks can whang the pellet. Pitcher Al Zweifel of the Guy M. Standifer Shipbuilding Corporation team mav soon report to Portland. Judge William Wallace McCredie, president of the Portland baseball com pany, wrote a long letter to Walter McCredie yesterday in which he lauded the work of Pitchers Zweifel and Al Hartman, both belonging, to Wayne Francis Lewis' outfit. Zweifel had a short trial with the Macktan machine in the spring of 1917 and should be ready for fast company. He held the Cornfoot club batters hit less and runless for seven innings at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets Sunday. Manager McCredie wanted Southpaw Hartman this spring. The ex-Washington State college chucker has three years of professional ball inder his belt anil is an exceedingly smart ballplayer, but he hesitates at leaving his position as draftsman at the Standifer plant, which lasts all year 'round, for the few months that the baseoall season lasts. Portland fans may see both of these sterling young heavers work when the . Portland cluo meets tne Mtanaiier team t Recreation park a week from today. It is said that the big plant across the Columbia may declare a half holiday to allow all the employes an opportunity of rooting for their favorites. s Just why Bill Clymer sold Pitcher Miles Mains to Salt Lake is hard to understand. Wild William has some thing up his sleeve and figured he could use the coin of the realm to ad vantage. Clymer probably has selected some pitcher whom he wishes to pur chase and who, he figures, will fill the tall Mains' shoes and then some. ' Outfielder Herbie Hunter, who once clayed with the Mackian machine, will not be with the Seals for some time. although that organization is not great ly handicapped without his services. a lie ii- y utaiiiiiviiv hold Hunter a while longer. After Biff Schaller was released. Graham, seeing the Hunter proposition staring him in the face, bought Outfielder Schick from - Los Angeles. It was thought that Walter McCredie would work Jones at Sacramento Sun day, but he sent Red Oldham to the hillock instead. His reason is as ob vious as the gloss upon a new silk hat. Carroll will unquestionably labor like a salley slave against the Seals this week. He's due to twirl today and in one of the games next Sunday. The culmination of Outfielder Dixie Walker's batting slump came Sunday, when he was benched in favor of Rich ard Cox. the well-known sea' dog. The former Detroit gardener has fallen i down, badly in his hitting the past few days. Three new pitchers would cheer the . souls of Portland fans as dew a dusty flower. We must have them, for it is . as manifest , as the : nose on a man s face that the Beavers cannot hope to : win with the brand of chucking shown in the last three games. Judge Mc Credie professes to know nothing as to the future plans regarding the pitch ing situation. Detroit has undoubtedly quit pruning by this time and it's up to the Macks to go out on the open market andxreplaoe Guy Cooper, Ken neth Penner and- to obtain one more chucker to be, ready should George Pennington's health not improve. SEALS TRIM TIPPERS 8 TO 0 Poor Pitching by Cole and Errors by Pinelli Co5t Contest. STOCKTON, CaL, May 19. Poor pitching by Cole and errors by Pinelli cost Sacramento an exhibition game today with San Francisco, the Seals winning, 6 to 0. The game was played for the benefit of St. Gertrude's Catholic parish here, and Father William F. Fleming, the pastor, pitched the first ball to Charley Graham, manager of the Seals, who was Father Fleming's catcher when they were the batteries for Santa Clara college. Dan Murray of Sacramento caught a ball dropped from an airplane, which gave an exhibition over the ball park. Score: WASHINGTON EASILY .BEATS JAMES JOHN High. School Teams Stage Un canny Game at Multnomah. ALL TALLIES ARE BUNCHED Eight to Five Score Largely Due to 5 to 2 Division of Errors Between Nines. L MEET IS ASSURED LDTf COUNTY HIGH SCHOOLS FIRST CONTEST SCCCESS. Measles Keep Entries Away, Yet Competition Is Keen- and Lebanon Carries Away Honors. ALBANY, Or.. May 19. (Special.) A track and field meet for the high schools of Linn county will be an an nual event at Albany college hereafter. This is assured by the success of the first event of the kind held on the campus Saturday. Competition was keen despite the fact that the number of schools competing was less than expected. Seven teams furnished entries. Measles invaded the teams from Shedd and Tangent and prevented their appearance and the en tries from Mill City and Lyons also failed to appear. Only two high c-noois, Ltoanon and Harrisburg. en tered full teams. Albany had entries in al nest all events, but the local school had been devoting practically all of its energies to baseball this spring and several ot its best track men went with the baseball team to Salem. That most of Albany's entries were fresh men augura well for more interest in track and field athletics at the Albany r.i g-n tne next lew years. lesterdays meet was planned bv Professor ft. W. McNeaL who coached the Albany college track team and was carried . out under his direction. The Albany chamber of commerce donated a splendid silver cup to be held by the annual winner of these meets until permanent possession is secured by three victories. This cup will spend the next year at Lebanon high school by virtue of that school's sweeping victory yesterday, when it scored points against 32 for Harrisburg and 10 for Albany. Washington High school won an 8 to 5 victory over James John High school on Multnomah field yesterday after noon. This game was scheduled for May 9, but as some of the players went to the track meet at Eugene it was postponed until yesterday. The game was one of the weirdest exhibitions played this year. Wash ington, in the first inning, scored three runs. Sorsby got a hit and after Row ley flied to center field "Pil" Irvine walked. Johnny Haak pulled the hero stuff by lining out a two-bagger, scor ing Sorsby and Irvine. Haak regis tered a moment later on Ragenovitch'e sacrifice fly. Washington made three more runs in the second. Coupled with a walk and two errors, two hits scored Sors by, Rowley and Irvine. The same school added a run in the fifth and one in the sixth. James John made two runs in the fourth when Johnson walked and Ohm was hit by a pitched ball. Hoskins singled, scoring Johnson. "Long John' Wulf came forward and put the ball in the second tennis court, scoring Ohm. Umpire Rankin allowed Wulf only a two-base hit because of ground rules. The Saints scored another run in the sixth and twice in the ninth. Score R.H.E.I R.H.E. Washington 8 7 5j James John 5 8 2 Batteries Washington, Scott and Priestly. James John, Jower, Wulf and Ohm. Umpire, Ed Rankin. Lincoln High school was scheduled to play Columbia University yesterday but had to postpone the game again. Coach Fenstermacher made the first bid for the field and this prevented the Railsplitters from settling, their- dif ferences with Columbia. Washington High school will journey to Corvallis June 6 . to play the hirh school of that place. On the following day they will play the O. A. C. fresh men. The Washington team has not done much in the Interscholastic league. but hopes to "go good" on this trip. Coach Fenstermacher will take sixteen men with him. . . . The Jefferson High school game with St. Helens Saturday was called off owing to wet grounds at the Co lumbia river city. fc.d Anderson was scheduled to pitch this game for Jef ferson and the enthusiasts in that town were bitterly disappointed when the ex -Chinook fisherman could not appear. Columbia University is billed to meet the Benson Tech team this afternoon on Multnomah field. This should be an easy game for Coach "Herm" Cook's boys. Emmett Baker will twirl for Benson and- Johnny Keating for Columbia. Hoke was slated to meet Zimmerman; then Sammy Gordon was put on with Niel. and now Gordon has weakened. Freddie Lough Is the latest to be signed up to meet the hard-hitting youngster. If Willis hits too hard for Lough. Zim merman should make it very interest ing for him. The rest of the bouts remain intact. Billy Mascott and Danny Edwards will tangle in the top half of a double main event, with Johnny Schauer of St. Paul and Stanley Willis furnishing the other deck. The two bouts which round out the card are Billy Emke vs. Frank Williams and Billy Ryan vs. George Franklin. Five boxers well known in Port land, three of them whose home was or is in the Rose city, will show their wares to California flght fans this week. Tomorrow night in Oakland Tillie "Kid" Herman, the clever Mexi can welterweight who recently left Portland for the south, will test con clusions with the rugged "Battling" Ortega. Tommy Simpson is staging the show and the Herman-Ortega bout will be the featured attraction. Thursday night in San Francisco there will be two bouts that will es pecially interest Portland boxing fans. Muff Bronson will meet Lee Johnson, while Billy Nelson will take on Allie Nack. a recent San Francisco arrival from New York. Bronson has been in California for a considerable period, having taken part in bouts in Los An geles and met with fair success. Lee Johnson and Billy Nelson went south with Kid Herman several weeks ago. Bronson and Johnson met in Portland a few weeks back. Bronson knocking Lee out in the first round. The other former Portlander on Thursday night's bill in San Francisco is 'Earl Baird, who will meet Joe White. TUCK WINS FOR REDMOND STAR ATHLETE TAKES EIGHT FIRSTS, TWO SECONDS.

In the central Oregon, track and field meet' held at Madras Saturday Redmond captured the meet with a total of Si points against 37 for Prinevllle, S3 for Madras and 21 for Bend. An unusual feature in the scoring was in allowing tennis,- both - boys' and girls' singles and doubles, to be counted toward win ning the banner. Prinevllle won 20 of its 37 points in tennis, cleaning up everything in that line. . Madras was the only real contender Redmond had in the track and field events. Tuck. Redmond's all-around athlete, won the meet for his school, being en tered in ten events, taking first in eight of them and second in the discus and high jump. He was instructed to spare himself as much as possible, and con tented himself with making the meet safe for Redmond and did not try to break any records. Only in the broad Jump, in which he took second at Eu gene, did he let himself loose, beating his Eugene record by 1 foot, 11 inches, by jumping 20 feet, 3 inches.
