Failure by Salt Lake's Keystone com bination to cover second in the ninth inning of today's game enabled Lew Blue to race from first to third, im mediately afterwards to score with the winning run. The score was 5 to 4 for the Beavers, and cave the Mackmen two victories in the three , games played. Byler's throw to head off Blue was perfect. Since there was a right hand hitter at bat, the error for neglecting to cover second is charged against Krug. It was an exciting ball game, the best yet. Triple Features Game. A triple play, the first of the sea son, was an outstanding feature. It was engineered by Krug, Johnson and Sheely, starting .with a one-hand spear of Klngdon's high liner in the fourth inning. Koehler on second and Cox on first were thrown out before they could scramble back to safety. Lefty Schroeder held the alleged hard-hitting Bees to five widely scat tered bingles during his reign of a little more than seven innings, he was opposed by "Spider" Baum, who was. under the new order of things, forced to throw spitless baseball. The Spider got along excellently until the sixth. Jn that inning the Beavers touched him for four hits and in the seventh for three. Doubles by Koeh ler and Schroeder were the most damaging of the lot. Bcaven Tie Score. ' The Bees made one In the first and another in the third. In the sixth the Beavers tied the score with two, due to singles by Wisterzil and Schal- ler, a double by Koehler and a final single by Kingdon. They made two more in the seventh. Schroeder led off with a double and scored on Blue's single. Blue later scored when Sand erred on Maisel's grounder. Rumler knocked the ball over the fence for Salt Lake in the seventh with Johnson on, tying the score again. Juney relieved Schroeder in the eighth after Sand hit safely. Portland Winn In Ninth. In the ninth Juney started off with a hit to left. Blue attempted a sacri fice. but forced Juney at second. Blue streaked for second and kept on to tmra wnen Byler s tnrow was per mltted to go to the outfield. Wister zil's hit to right, sent Blue home with the run that won for Portland. The Bees were unable to rally in the ninth, thanks to good fielding.

Baseball is a very uncertain prop osition, and owing to the drastic changes that are made In the playing personnel of the rival clubs, the April favorite sometimes pulls up and does the Brodie about mid-summer. For the sake of discussion, however, I am going to hazard the following stand ings of the clubs for the Pacific Coast league on the dates shown: May IS Forecast. 1. Vernon. 5. Portland. 2. Salt Lake. X San Francisco. 7. Seattle. 8. Sacramento. Forecast. 5. Seattle. 6. San Francisco. 7. Oakland. 8. Sacramento. 8. Los Angeles. 4. Oakland. Juir 1. Vernon. 2. Salt Lake. 3. Portland. 4. Los Angeles. The Vernon pennant winners are back with nearly all of the import ant cogs of last year's machine, and must be made the favorites. I saw them trim the Seals in the opener at San Francisco and the Bay City news writers seem to share the opinion that the Tigers have a good ball club. "Red" Smith at third will not quite fill Meusel's shoes. ' Essick has been short on first-string pitchers, but his purchase of Shellenbach and the promise of two new hurlers from New York this week will strengthen the Tigers in the slabbing depart ment, Portland and Seattle open the season away from home, and for this reason, and others, the two northern teams will be getting off fairly well if tHey do not both come home in the cellar. Beavers Need Strengthening. The Beavers will not be a first- class ball club until Manager lie Credie reinforces to the extent of probably three or four, players an infielder, an outfielder and one or. two pitchers. Young Spranger at sec ond base has done his bit thus far and we wish him well, but it is hard ly to be expected that the cadet will do regularly at the keystone. By May IS the Portland club should go strong. Salt Lake opens at home and ought to pull out on the first road trip close to the top of the heap. Rumler, Sheely, Johnson and Krug are es pecially effective in the tiny hat-box ball park in the Utah, metropolis. Ri val managers aver that the iBees would win the pennant if all their games were played at home. Los Angeles has a good pitching staff, but a slow, lumbering club with a fair amount of punch. The Oaks and Seals have strength ened a little bit, but not a great deal. Connolly, a Western league ,300 hit ter, is expected to add bat strength to the San Francisco outfield. The Seals looked terrible in the opener. They handled the ball as if it were a smallpox germ. Dope Easily Scrambled. Sacramento may come stronger than some of the so-called wiseacres ex pect. Mollwitz is a first-class first baseman and should hit close to .300. On the whole, though, the infield does not shape up as a whirlwind in either offense or defense. Should Bill Stumpf begin clouting the ball at his former .300 gait it would make a lot of dif ference In the Rodgers crew. Sac. ramento's pitching corps is particu larly weak. As has oft been warbled, "There's many a slip twixt the hip and the lip," and slips also may be numerous between April 6 and May 16 or July 1. Major league clubs will begin unload ing their surplus stars in another fortnight or three weeks and the ad dition of two or three men to any of the coast league teams might scram ble all the advance dope.

SEALS WIN OX RAGGED PLiAY Seven Runs Scored Off Schneider Before Taken Out. OAKLAND, Cal., April 8. In a game marked by ragged fielding, the Seals won from the Vernon Tigers today, 7 to 3. It was the first vic tory of the series for Sari Francisco. The hits were evenly distributed, each side pounding out 10 safeties. Seaton, twirling for the Seals, how ever, tightened up in the pinches and worked his way out of several dangerous boles. The Seals made all of their tallies and won the game in the first four innings.

An extensive programme for water safety has been adopted by the execu tive committee of the Portland chap ter, American Red Cross and by the board of examiners comprising swim ming instructors of the various pools and clubs and city departments. The board of examiners are holding week ly meetings every Thursday noon at T.liich time swimming and life saving matters are discussed. Miss Mill Schloth, swimming instructor in the Portland public schools, is chairman of the women's examining board, and Emil Vodjansky, former northwest swimming champion, is chairman of the men's board. Other swimming Instructors of the city, who are tak ing active part in the work are Mrs. Grace De Boest, swimming instructor of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club. Miss Lillian Hansen, swimming Instructor of the Y. W. C. A., Miss Alice M. Ludgate, Miss Lucile Bro naugh, C. F. Werner, swimming in structor of the Y. M. C. A., Jimmy Burke, of the public schools, and F. Douglas. Among the plans which this com mittee are working out are a safety map or the waterfront showing the rowning places; and a city-wide Red Cross free swimming campaign to be onducted during the first week in May. During the "learn to swim week" In May, the swimming pools f the Y. M. C. A.. Y. W. C. A.. Couch nd Shattuck schools and the Port land natatorium will be thrown open for the purpose of giving everyone who desires a chance toxlearn to wim. These tanks will be open from 10 o'clock in the morning to 10 at night. The only place where admis sion will be charged will be at the natatorium. The city has promised 2000 swimming suits to be used by the swimmers and competent instruc tors will be on hand during the swim week to look after the beginners. The slogan which has been adopted by the American Red Cross first aid division for the learn-to-swim cam paign is "The Greatest Mother in the World wants her children to learn to swim this week." , Multnomah Appears Real Class in Distance, Vaults and Jumps on Past Performances. Willamette University is the latest school to send in its entries for the 16th "annual indoor track and field meet which will be held at the Co lumbia university tomorrow after noon- George G. Dewey, general man ager of the meet, received entry blanks for three of the Bearcat track men yesterday. Zeller will represent Willamette on the 60 and 220-yard dashes- Fisher is entered In M the 60 yard dash and the 880-yard run and Ganzans will compete in three events, the 60 and 220-yard dashes and the 60- yard high hurdles. Aggies Won Last Year. The Oregon Aggie track squad car ried off the honors in the meet last year with Multnomah Amateur Ath letic club a close second. The cnances for the wearers of the orange and black athletes again walking off with the meet tomorrow are exceedingly good, as practically all of the men who competed last year will be seen In action again this season. The work of Maurice Snook, Oregon Aggie sprinter, is going to be watched with a great deal ot interest by m track fans. Snook, who is a former Jefferson high, school athlete, was a member of the Oregon Agricultural college freshman team last year and carried off the honors in the 60 and 220-yard open events. His time for the half-century was 5 3-6 seconds and he covered the distance in the 220 in 24 2-5 seconds. Hayden, Swan and Kel logg all placed first in the meet last year for Oregon Agricultural college and will be entered again this year. Hayden won the 16-pound shotput with a heave of 39 feet 8'4 Inches: Swan placed first in the mile and Kellogg walked ofr with the 44U. Wlnged-M Looks Good. Multnomah Amateur Athletic club seems to have the class in the entries in the distance events, with Floyd Payne. Ralph Coleman and Vere Wind nagle. With Ralph Spearow, Sam Bei lah and Webster entered in the pole vault and jumps, the winged-M club has an excellent chance of carrying off the majority of places In these events. St. Helens high school will enter a full team in the academic events, bringing the total number of outside prep schools to four. Lebanon, Cor- vallis and Baker are tne otner out of-town entries, in addition to the nine local high schools. The high schools may enter as many men as they like, but only three can compete in any one event. The indoor track at Columbia is in the very best of shape and it is ex pected that some of the records now standing will be lowered. FRESHMEN BALL TEAM WIXS play, although neither adhered to the strict interpretation of the rule. It was decided that whenever the catcher interferes, the batsman should have the right to go to first base, while all runners should be entitled to ad vance a base, whether forced or not. Such a ruling seemed to have re moved any premium for the catcher to interfere. Yet all major league um pires do not agree on such an inter pretation. One veteran arbitrator claims a wise batter can purposely stick his bat into the catcher and cre ate an interference. However, I have always believed an umpire ought to be able to differentiate between a catcher's interference and a premedi tated interference by the batter. All that would be necessary in such a case would be to call the runner I coming from third out, if there were less than two men out. when the batsman attempted such rough-house strategy. It is a play that is open to argument. OREGON NOT FOR MEET COLUMBIA FAILS TO OBTAIN VARSITY SQUAD. EVER HAMMER IS TO FIGHT SHANNON Evans Signs Main Event for Armory Card.

Walker Has Five Stitches Taken in Cut Opened . by Farmer in Wednesday Xignt's Bout. BY RICHARD R- SHARP. Ever Hammer, the bristling blonde of Chicago, who several years ago was a terror to all of the lightweighta in the country, was signed yesterday by Bobby Evans, matchmaker of the Portland boxing commission, to meet Eddie Shannon of San Francisco in the main event of the Portland com mission card at the Armory. April 16. Hammer hammered Benny Leonard, Freddie Welsh and Johnny Dundee to a finish, but failed to stow any of these three famous battlers away. He fought Leonard 12 torrid rounds at Kansas City only to go down under one of Benny a famous left hooks in the final canto. Record Is Stellar One. Ever fought a 10-round no-decision bout against Dundee in East Chicago and lost a close verdict in 15 rounds in Kansas City to the jumping Scotch wop. Hammer fought Welsh when he was champion of the world In a 10- round no-decision contest in Mllwau- kie and came near unseating the Eng lishmen from his crown. Ha-mmer has also fought Joe Welling, Ad Wolgast. Johnny O'Leary, Milburn Saylor, Har vey Thorpe, Johnny Kid Mex, Charley Metrie, Pal Moran and many others of note. Several months ago Hammer came out to the coast' and after several fights in San Francisob left for Los Angeles where he is now located. His last fight in the south was against Eddie Mahoney, Jack Kearns' highly touted Irish lightweight champion Hammer and Shannon both began fighting about the same time and have had an equal number of contests. Hammer Is Lighter. Eddie has not taken the lacings in his career that Hammer has because of the fact that he is a better than the ordinary boxer while Hammer has condition, is given as the reason for not entering Oregon in the Port- and indoor meet. Tryouts for the varsity will likely be held In the near future. V AND another good feature is that you dont have to hunt for a Lanpher-you go to the hest hat s tor e and there it is t LANPHER HATS out sensation in the eastern light weight ranks. Eddie jumped into the limelight recently when he easily flattened out Irish Patsy Cline. Since then he has won all his bouts with a knockout. WOMAX BOXER XEAR-VICTOR Bantamweight Seeking Match With Mascott Knocked to Mat. Harry Mansell, the flashy little British bantamweight now residing in Seattle, was almost knocked out once in a boxing encounter with a woman boxer. The woman boxer, however, was Mile. Carpentier by name, but no relation to Georges. This happened when Mansell was touring with Miss Carpentier in vaudeville. It. was the custom for the two to put on a spar ring exhibition at each performance. Mansell was naturally forced to "pull" his punches and to take several from Miss Carpentier to make the fans get excited over the act. One day Man sell took a real wallop, however-, he admits and the audience went wild as he dropped to bis knees and stag gered up. The Briton is anxious to land a bout with Billy Mascott In Portland and will be on hand to challenge the winner of the Pal Moore-Mascott bout Wednesday night in Seattle.

TNTERFERENCE by the catcher X with the batsman deserves a severe penalty, because it puts the batter out of the play. The playing cod provides a penalty for such an of fense, but for years the justice of the penalty has caused much commen The rules state that when th catcher interferes with the batsman he shall be entitled to first base, re gardless of what happens. It makes no difference as to the act of the I batsman. If he should hit a home run, be retired on a fly, thrown out i at first base, or not even strike at the ball, his acts would not 'enter into the decision as laid down by the rules- The batesman would simply go to first base, because of the catcher's Interference. On the surface that ap pears to be a perfectly proper ruling, and eminently fair. What about the base runner or runners? Shall they be entitled to advance because of the interference of the catcher? The rules say no. When such a happening takes place, no runners can advance unless forced to do so to make room for the bats man. That, in a way. seems perfectly eorrect, since runners are never al lowed to advance on interference plays of such a nature. However, of late years brainy catchers have taken advantage of this rule, and pulled a play that has worked to the benefit of their team, and of course to the detriment of the- team at bat. The play or plays I have reference to relate to those in which a runner from third attempts to score, through a steal of home, or via the squeeze play. If a wise catcher feels po.sitive the runner's chances of getting home are greater than the chances to re tire him at the plate, all he needs to do is resort to a bit of rough-house strategy, interfer with the batsman and forget all about the base play. The moment the catcher interferes with the batsman play is suspended. The batsman goes, to first base, to which he is entitled under the rules; but what about the base runner on third who seemed certain to score. The rules say he must go back to third, as no runners can advance un less forced to make room for the batsman. In the' last five years I have seen a wise catcher pull such a play half a dozen times, greatly to his benefit. Thus in a way the rules place a premium on the catcher's in terference, instead of inflicting a pen alty. Last year the two major leagues worked the same way on such a Willamette to Play Chemawa. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Salem. April 8. (Special.) Willam ette will open the season against the Chemawa Indians at Chemawa tomor row afternoon if the weather permits. According to present indications Jack son and Brown will form the battery to oppose the Indians, while the probable infield line-up will be: Mc- Kittrick, first base; Davies, second base, Paige, shortstop; Irvine, third base. Austin and R. Dimick Beem certain of outfield berths, while Catin of the freshman class looks to be the most likely candidate for the open position. Two contests with O. A. C have been scheduled for next week- Howe ver the Chicago lightweight made better records against the top notchers than Shannon. This is ex plained by the fact that Eddie took on Leonard, Dundee and Kilbane while he was still learning the ropes and was not ready to tangle with them. The San Francisco boy made a great hit with the Portland ring followers when he polished off Freddie Ander son in 10 rounds at the last card here and loomed up as a really capable lightweight, Evans is now busily en gaged in arranging the remainder of the bilL Hugh Walker, the Kansas City heavyweight who lost to Frank Farm er at the Milwaukie arena Wednesday night, had to have five stitches taken in the cut over his eye, which Farmer opened in the first round of their gru eling 10-round scrap. Walker's Beating Was Thorough. The cut bled throughout the bout and according to his manager. Jay Thomas, the blood had Walker prac tically blinded in the later rounds of the bout. The cut on his head further hindered Hugh and at a doctor's ex amination after the fight it developed that one of the main arteries in Walker's forehead just over his eye had been severed. Walker took the worst lacing that has been handed a boy here in some time, but kept coming until the finish and tried vainly to beat down Farm ers unerring attack. -His fight was nothing to what the fans expected him to put up and which he seemed capable of doing after his aggressive fight against Willie Meehan.

Fulton is anxious to get a hard fight here before he leaves and show the Portland fistic followers how he can really fight when forced to ex tend himself.
