Fisher wanted to make it a double-header, and Ely Anal ly agreed to it. Upon arriving In San Francisco next Wednesday, McCredie says he will add Jay Hughes to his staff of pitchers, and he will be worked a cou ple of games at San Francisco, "Nothing will stop me -sending Hughes Into the box." declares McCredie. "unless President Bert orders me not to, stating that he belongs to Seattle. I don't think Bert will do that I am paying Hughes a big salary, the same that Garvin Is getting. Seattle is playing dog In the manger In trying to keep Jay out of the game be cause he refused a reduced salary. My offer for Hughes was accepted, but the magnates came along and refused to con firm the deal, raising the price on me. Thls.case Is similar to that of the famous Amos Rusle, only it's worse." McCredie is pleased with Mitchell's work at first and believes he will be a valuable man as soon as his foot gets well. He denies the story that he Is ne gotiating with Charley Babb. of Port land, Brooklyn's first baseman. He also brands as untrue the story that Little Rock will take Garvin from him. The Webfooters are feeling very good at having broken even with Tacoma thus far, although they all dread the long Jour ney to San Francisco. Los Angeles' ser ies with Tacoma here next week has been transferred to Los Angeles to save the Angels a trip north for only one week. GRAHAM WINS A VICTORY. Oakland Pitcher Keeps Hits Down and Knocks Two-Bagger. SAN FRANCISCO, May 13. In more ways than one did Graham, the Oakland pitcher, bring victory to his team today. His delivery kept the hits down and in the seventh his two-bagger sent Francks home, scoring the only run made in the gamel It was a sharply-contested game, with the pitching heavy and the fielding fast.

Shamrocks and Portlands Will Open Season Northwest Clubs Will Compete for Championship. Practice games are over for the present so far as the Portland Lacrosse Club is concerned, for next Sunday afternoon, at 3:15 o'clock, at the baseball grounds, Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets, there :wHr begin the first of those "lacrosse fnafches that will decide the lacrosse championship for this part of the country. and later on the world. On that date the Portlands will face their bitter rivals, the Shamrocks, of this city, and it Is safe to say from the number of defiances that are already passing around between the supporters and "rooters" of both clubs, that the contest will be worth the money. and a little more. There will be plenty ot excitement. Lineups of the Teams. It is settled that McNlcoll will captain the Portlands and Jennings the Sham rocks. Tho lineup of the Portlands will probably be: Stacy. Jack McDonell. Mar shall. C. A. Stewart, Shaw, Watson. Wil son, Horban, Hague, McNlcoll, McDougall and Tommy Burns. Shamrocks Jackson. Hyatt, Jennings, Porter. Hawes, Camp- ben, Beckwith Hamilton. Saundcrsoh. Lawrence and A. McDonell. All these men are exnerlenced lacrosse nlavers. handle their sticks well, show cood com bination, and above all put life Into what thev do. In addition thcro Is tt rtish nnrl determination to win that marks both twelves. One of thf Portland's laornks t1nvr was in British Columbia last week, and in an interview he says: "While Jn Van couver and New Westminster. I trrV oc casion to talk with quite a number of lacrosse people, players and non-players, and found a rood -1fal of hard fAcllnv nr. lBiinr between Vancouver and New West minster. These clubs are long-time rivals, and the New Westminsters assert that In the last match with Vancouver they, the New Westminsters reallv Vftn And they were cheated out of decision. j.ne Westminsters are suffering from a bad case of swelled head, and one of their supporters stated that th Huh -wmiM not, it? all probability, care to play at me lacrosse tournament open to the world at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, for the reason that New Westminster cnniit not find Pacific Coast rivals worthy of xncir ciass to play with. New Westminsters Haughty. "All the same, although the New West minsters are great players, and have ma terially assisted. In revolutionizing the game in bettering combination play and insisting- on the short, quick pass we think there are teams that can skin them. For Instance, the Shamrocks aro their superiors, and also the Vancouvers, In Vancouver. I also think we have the making of a team here In Portland that will, in time, take care of the haughty Westminsters. There is talk of the Sham rocks and Capitals, from Eastern Canada, coming to British Columbia this Summer. and if it can be arranged, we hope that these really first-class lacrosse clubs can be brought to the Exposition In this city, some time In August or September. Portland's Good Chance. "I think it improbable that the senior teams of the Vancouvers and West minsters will play In this city this Summer, but am sure that lntermedt ate twelves" representing thesa cities will be sent here to try to win the gold medal for the lacrosse championship of -the world. If these clubs don't send players here, of course the contest for the championship of the world will He between clubs in Oregon. Washington and California. And. from what I bavtt seen, the Portland players are the best In the three states. They may yet land the medal, if they work hard. I didn't see the Westminsters ai work, but I saw a practice match between the Vancouver seniors and an Inter mediate team, and they played lacrosse worth seeing, but In my opinion the vancouvers do not have tne dnsh o the stickwork of the Shamrocks. George Oddy, late captain of the Prt lands. is playing this year with the Westminsters. From alt that I can learn, lacrosse is not prospering no well this year at Victoria. Seattle has a strong club, and has received a nam ber of new players, but Portland'ought to defeat Seattle. The great Mike Mc .Cance Is expected here shortly for the season, and other players are also to adopt this city as their Summer home. I'm glad we have two lacrosse clubs now. in Portland, and think the game I; even, -to .exceed 3ast yr's eucce.' GREAT OCEAN RAGE Eleven Yachts After Emperor William's Gold Cup.

AUTOMOBILE e?fT 'NXJ MAP OF THE ROUTE TRAVERSED. The first automobile race from the Atlantic to the Pacific began at "New York at 3:30, May 8. for the Lewis and Clark Fair, the journey not to take over 42 days. The care ued. both of Oidsmoblle make, are called by their respective drivers. "Old Scout" "and "Old Steady." The first Is being driven by Dwlght B. Husa and the second by Percy Megargle. With Hues Is Mllford Weigle, of Detroit, and with Mefcargle, Barton Stanchfietd. ot Lansing, Mich. The winner of the race Is to be given $1000 and trie loser the car he drives. The cars each bear messages from Melville E. Stone, manager of the Arsoclated Press, to President Goode of the Exposition. This Is the first time that the Associated Press has hon ored a race of this kind to such a degree. The purpose of the race Is double. The manufacturing company wishes ,to advertise its wares and the Department of Agiicultnre Is backing it to demonstrate how much this country Is in need of good roads. Evidently it is expected that the driver win have a hard Journey, as the purpose of the backing Indicates. The course to be taken by the two machines Is: Albany. Utica .Syracuse. Rochester.

The cup. designed by the Emperor, Is a massive one. bearing on one side an oval medalion portrait in bas re lief ox the Emperor, and for 'the handles garlands of flowers, supported by a pair of mermaids, whose talis en twine the base of the cup. On the ob verse is a panel. In which will be in scribed the name of the winning yacht. A special committee has been ap pointed to start the great ocean race. This committee consists of Commander H. G. Hebbinghaus. naval attache of the German Embassy at Washington: Commander H. H. Hosley, U. S. N.; Ol iver H. Cromwell, H. de V. Parsons, Newbury D. Lawton and Edward H. Wales, of the New York Yacht Club. The sub-committee of the Imperial Yacht Club, of Germany, acting in England, which has charge of the fin ish of the race, is composed of Cap tain Coerper, naval attache of the Ger man Embassy at London; the Earl of Lonsdale and Sir Edward Blrbeck. Captain Coerper has announced that there will be a stake boat at the finish line, off Lizard, which will remain there until the first four boats have finished. Yachts finishing later .will signal the lighthouse, according to" the rules laid down by the special com mittee. Rules Governing Contest. The principal rules governing the contest are as follows: A preparatory gun will be fired at 2. the Imperial Yacht Club burgee low. ered and blue Peter hoisted. A warn ing gun will be fired at 10 minutes past 2. blue Peter lowered and red ball hoisted. The starting gun will be fired at quarter past 2. red ball lowered. No protest will be entertained in con nection with violation of the rules at the start of the race. Yachts approaching the line under tow must drop the tow line at the preparatory signal. The International rules of the road at sea shall govern conduct of the yachts, with the addition, .that if an overlap exists between two yachts when both of them, without tacking, are about to pass a mark on a re quired side, then the outside, yacht must give the inside yacht room to pass clear of the, mark. A yacht shall not, however, be justified in attempt ing to establish an overlap and thus force a passage between another yacht and the mark after the latter yacht has altered her helm for the purpose of rounding. Should a yacht be delayed in start ing at the appointed time, and the committee boat not be in position. It may start later, taking Its departure from Sandy Hook lightship. No time will be credited on account of the de lay. Such yacht may not be towed to any point to the eastward of Sandy Hook lightship. At or near the finish line communi cation must be established with the signal station at the Lizard light house. By day. by displaying official letters, also the ensign. By night, by using night signals as assigned in the program. In fog. by discharging spe cial bomb, as designated, followed by blasts on foghorn as assigned in pro gram. These signals should be re peated at Intervals until a reply is re ceived from the signal station, namely the discharge of a similar bomb. It is requested that each contestant take time at the finish In Greenwich mean time to corroborate the -time ta ken by the sub-committee at the fin ish line. A pilot may be taken on beard be fore the finish of the race. After the finish, communication should be es tabllsh'tJy tl eg-fa-ph .With- Caatain Ceerper. German Embassy.

There are two lighthouses,, a signal station and a wireless station. The reports of the finishers will be received at the signal station and will be sent out by wlre less, and the name of the winning yacht will be Hnown la America In a surprisingly short time after she has crossed (he finish line. Three .Foreign Yachts. Of the 11 competing yachts, eight are entered from American yacht clubs, two from the Royal Yacht Squadron, of Eng land, and one from Hamburg, Germany. All of the yachts entered, however, are either of American or English build. Six were built In the United States and five In Great Britain, two of the British built boats being entered under American own ership. There are five auxiliaries, but it may be said that there Is really only one that might be properly considered such for the purpose of racing. This Is the Atlantic, a three-masted schooner, built for fast cruising under sail. The 'others are of heavier type and for ordinary pur poses depend upon steam rather than upon sail. The Utowaria. owned by Alll ton V. Armour. Is a possible exception. The largest competing yacht Is tho ship rigged auxiliary Valhalla, owned by the Earl of Crawford, of 64S tons net; and the smallest Is the American schooner Fleur de Lys, owned by Dr. Louis A. Stlmson. of the New York Yacht Club, of S6 net tonnage. The rules originally stipulated that yachts should be of more than 103 tons, American measurement, but these rules were changed to allow the entry of the Fleur de Lys. which has been an ocean trotter for many years and has sev- RACE FROM NEW YORK TO PORTLAND IS ON cral times cross the Atlantic. In the original rules the. start was named for May 15, but this was also changed, for Sunday preceding would be a bad day on which to take stores on board. Two of the yachts entered were built for racers. They are the schooner Ham burg, the German entry, and the yawl Allsa, an American entry. The Hamburg was originally the British schooner Rain bow. She was built In 189S and was- in tended to beat the fast big English yachts, principally the Britannia. Three races have been sailed before across the Atlantic, two of .which were started from America and one from Great Britain. The flrst race was between the schooners Henrietta, Vesta and Fleet wing from Sandy Hook to the Needles for a stake of $30,000, in 1S6S. The Hen rietta, owned by James Gordon Bennett, won In 13 days, 21 hours and 55 minutes. Heavy weather prevailed all the way across and the Fleetwing lost six of her crew, who were washed from the cockpit. The second race was between tho Can brla, owned by James Asbury. the first challenger for the America's cup, and the Dauntless, owned by James Gordon Ben nett. They raced from Old Klnsale Head, Ireland, to Sandy Hook, In July, 1S70. The Cambria won. making the passage In 23 days. 5 hours and 17 minutes, and beating the Dauntless by one hour and 43 minutes. The third race was between the schoon ers Dauntless and Coronet in March, 1S57. They raced from Brooklyn, N. Y., to Daunt's Rock, off Queenstown, for a stake of $10.00). The Coronet was owned by R. T. Bush and the Dauntless by Cald well R. Colt. They had a succession of gales all the way across and the Coronet won In 14 days; 19 hours and 23 minutes. Fastest Time Not Made in Races. The fastest times made by sailing ves sels were not made In races. The schooner Sappho holds the record from shore to shore. She made the passage from Sandy Hook to Daunt's Rock, Ire land. In ISO. in 12 days, 9 hours and 30 minutes. The fastest passage from Sandy Hook to the Needles was made by the schooner Endymion In 13 days, 20 hours and 36 minutes. Both the Sappho and the Endymion made the same aver ago speed, 9.65 knots an hour. It Is not likely that the yachts sailing In the present race will meet such severe weather as did the Henrietta sailing In December, or the Coronet, sailing In March. It is expected that westerly winds will be fair. In such a race, how ever, all things are possible, and each skipper goes prepared to tackle any kind of weather.

The Portland High School had no trou ble defeating the Barclay High School of Oregon City yesterday, by a score of 6 to 1. Poor fleldlng on the part of the Oregon City team, the wildness of Todd. their pitcher, and the number of men he sent to first, placed runs enough to the local team's credit to make un for its failure to land on him for more than. four bits. Montag pitched for the Portland High School for the flrst time and did very well. He is a- southpaw and will make an able substitute for Lane Goodell. who Injured his hand In the game with Eu gene the other day. Montag struck out ten men and did not walk any. Although he was pounded for eight hits, outside of the first run they were not effective. With men on bases he was almost al ways at his best. Rather than a Portland High School victory It was a Barclay defeat. To be gin with, the Portland High School scored three runs In the flrst inning without a hit to help out, and that was the way all through the game. Barclay earned Its single run, the brothers Tllford doing the tncK. one knocked a two-bagger. stole third and was brought in by the other. But with this good beginning. nothing was done to follow It up In the succeeding Innings. The score: P. H. S. Runs 3 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 06 Hits 0 0002011 04 B. H. S.

Los Angeles will be represented by a team of picked athletes in the cham pionship games at the Portland Fafr this Summer. The local branch of the Y. M. C A. has decided to raise money to send a team of eight or 10 men. The board of directors has ratified the ac tlon taken by the athletic association and plans will be made to raise the re quired amount. Hagerraan. Parsons, Roth.

Director Price, speaking of the plans for the team. said: "We hope to send at least 16 men from the Y. M. C. A. here. Of course. If we fl'id that we cannot raise enough money to do that, we will send as many as we can. I cannot say yet what means will be taken to raise the required amount, but it probably will be by antertainrnents and private sub scription. "We are especially anxious to beat the Chicago team. It defeated us last year by a narrow margin, with more than twice as many men entered, and we hope to turn the tables on it this year. "Our team will compete in "the x. M. C A. track and field championships, and several sien will enter In the Pan theon events. In this contest each. man must enter five events, the 100- yard dash, 12-pound hammer throw. running high jump, pole vauie ana xmie run. 1 believe we can enter some men in that contest who will break the rec ord.

While the Japs lost to Stanford, they are from all accounts more than a novel ty, and are fully qualified to put up a 'first-class contest hearing, the genuine brand of American ball. They have been thoroughly coached In the game, and are said to have team work down to a science. Their battery work has also received un stinted praise In California. The baseball squad of the club is now getting down to hard work, and is begin ning to show consistent development Stott, Fenton. Chalmers and Whltehouse are expected In Portland by May 20, and then the work of selecting a first team will begin. The club's contestants In the Lewis and Clark boxing championship are at work and will be in good shape on June 8. The entries will probably be: Dranga. 123"; Frank, 123; Douglas. 135; B6ttler. 125. In the absence of entries yet from the out-' side It cannot be definitely said Just what men Multnomah will have to meet, but It Is practically assured the Olympic Club of Ban Francisco, the birthplace of box ers, will send up a strong representation. Seattle and other Northern cities will also have men in attendance. The introduction of a business men's gymnasium class has. proved to be a big success, even beyond the hopes of ' the officers. The class meets every night except Saturdays and Sunday, at 5:15. and In Its flrst week has had a-large attend ance. That it will fill a much-needed want in the club is the general comment, and that it is a successful Innovation has been already demonstrated. In view of the general demand it has been decided to continue all gym classes to July L Heretofore It has been the cus tom to cease -class work on June 1, but with the awakened and increased interest In Indoor athletics and the strong requests made It has been decided to continue the season a month. Beginning with Jane 1 the Ladles' Annex will make a radical change In conditions of membership. Prior to this there has been no initiation fee, the dues being $L5d per month for nine months of the year and 56 cents per month during the Summer months. Beginning with June 1 there will be an Initiation fee of $5 to the annex, with dues of $12 per year. This, it is thought, will have the effect of mak Ing the membership of the annex more stable and permanent-than it has been in the past. The campaign for an S$0 membership be fore June U with the establishment of a waiting list on that date, has already re suited In Its assurance. There Is n6w art active. membership list of 756. with pledges of 76 more new members before Jane l, As soon as the S00 mark is reached the waiting- list will be adopted, but all those going on the same before June 1 will, as the vacancies occur, be allowed to enter the dab at the present initiation fee of $19. After that date, the fee wilL he in creased to $56.

PORTLAND MEN MAX ENTER Local Crew Will Accept Invitation IT, Tendered, but If They -Are Ex- . eluded Will1.. Challenge the Winner. . In the absence of a definite reply to their proposals, it is still uncertain if the Portland Rowing Club will be al lowed to enter a crew in the college races to be held In Seattle on May 30. Since the race Is a three-cornered one between Washington, Stanford and Berkeley, and Is classed as an Inter- T collegiate event, it Is doubtful if Port land could properly be represented, but there Is no reason why the offer to meet the winner cannot be accepted. In the event of Jiot -being allowed to participate in the college race, Port land offered to meet the winning crew on the same water, and this has found favor with Stanford, the college oars men, however, stating that they would prefer to come to Portland for the race. No definite reply has been received from Berkeley or Washington, but should the former be willing to meet Portland, the race would take place on Lake Washington, since the Califor- nlans return to San Francisco by steamer from Seattle. In anticipation of a favorable reply, Coadh Dan Murphy Is now picking out a crew, and will have everything in . readiness for the trip should Portland be asked to go to Seattle. The crew as picked at present consists- of: Stroke, Duncan; No. 2. Smld; No. 3. Preston Smith; bow, Harley. These men are Juniors, but are rapidly develr ODlne the Murnhv stroke. They worK well together, and have the knack of using every ounce of their strength. While juniors, this crew should have no difficulty In keeping their shell well In front of the collegians. A number of new candidates for po sltions have shown up at the boat house during the past week, and the rowing squad now numbers about 25. 4 Of these, but six or eight men are seniors, so that with the amount of Junior material the workout for posi tions In those shells will not only De a hard one, but Interesting as -well. In view of Murphy's almost unvary ing rule that a junior should remain such until he has won a race, it is doubtful if he will go outside of the seniors In making up his senior crew. With a crew picked out of the men at work, however, Portland will be well represented in the leading events of the races, and will have not only a strong crew, but a fast one as well. a nrnrramn is now betncT nreoared for a club regatta to be held on June 10. The events win consist or iours. miViloe clnfl and Mnm races. The course will be a three-quarter mile with a turn, ana tne regana win on used as a tryout for the juniors forJthe purpose of selecting crews. So far the men have not been assigneo. to nn.ltlnn hc ahiftlncr nrocess Still being kept up by Coach Murphy, but after the club regatta tne men win De sorted out into crews and trained as such from that time on. The canoeing fever is still Infecting the members of the club, .and the birch barks are rapidly displacing the clum sier 'pleasure boats. Thirty new ca noes have been received at the boat house within the past lOviays. This brings the total number of canoes be longing to club members up to SO, and it Is expected that within 60 days housing will be required for 100. The transferral of the annual asso ciation regatta from Victoria to Port land Is still undecided, although Van couver has signified its willingness to come south, providing Victoria con sents to the change. Stowell. of the Portland Club, Is now In correspond ence with Dan 0;Suflivan, the big man of the Victorias', and Is urging the change. Should Victoria consent, the matter will be brought up at the an nual meeting of the association, to be held soon, and the transferral of the regatta to Portland made.
