(Spe claL) The first real summer day ex perienced since the arrival of the Beavers here was on tap today and Manager McCredle took advantage of the warm sunshiny day to work out In the morning. ' The team played at signal practice and in the afternoon the Beavers were defeated by the Coyotes in a hard (xcltlng game, by the score of seven to six. Buddy Ryan captained the Coy ote team, which comprised a number of the youngsters, and the regular Port land outfield, while McCredle handled the Beavers' bunch. In the first Inning singles by Ryan and Fullerton. with a pass to Rogers gave the Coyotes a lead of two runs which they Increased to a total of six tallies by slamming out two triplets by Ryan and Fullerton. a double by Kreuger and a single by Chadbourne. which bombardment was made, off the offerings of Frank Arch er who heaved the first six Innings for McCredle's side. Ryan, and Fullerton .-were- the , hit ting demons as each" scored three hits while the other players were fortunate to get one hit apiece though McCredis tapped out a couple of .doubles in, his oldtlme form. The Beavers got busy in the fifth and sixth Innings and scored two in the first named, and three more In the -sixth off Charlie Fullerton'a de livery, who developed a sore arm on a long throw on a second base, where he played during the first four inning! of the day. Sam Griffiths officiated on the mound for the first four Innings of the game for the Coyotes and got away with the allowance, but one run was due to sur plus bases on balls. When Fullerton mounted the slab his side had the bene fit of a six to one score and he did not pitch as he could with his arm other than lame. All of the players were completely tired after the afternoon game for they had put in three hours of the hardest kind of practice in the morning for all of them entered into the spirit of prac tice when they found the sun shining brightly for practically the first time since they arrived here.

BEANEATERS "DRUB SEALS By Score of 6 to 4 San Francisco Goes Down Before Easterners In What Js "Xot Best Baseball Seen In World." BAN FRANCI3CO, March 11. (Special.) Happy Hogan's Vernon Villagers were the -only Coast Leaguers of the three to have scheduled games to win today. The Vernonltes, playing the Red Sox squad No. 2, defeated the Easterners by a score of 1 to 0. An error by tlie Boston third baseman was responsible for the tally that was made. Janvrin Juggled a throw from the outfield that allowed Patterson to score. Vernon played a fairly good game and Boston had trouble landing on the ball. In San Francisco the Red Sox. minus their star outfielder, Tris Speaker, who was sick, beat the Seals 6 to 4. It was not the best baseball in the world, chiefly because of .the muddy condition of the diamond and the way the outfielders slipped around on the grass. At the end of the third Inning, thanks to errors, the Seals had a lead Of 3 to 1. Harry Sutor was his own downfall. He took the game where Frank Eastley left. it. 3 to 1. and In the fifth inning, with one man on, Gardiner, second . sacker for Boston, knocked the ball ' over the right field fence. .... In the next Inning Catcher Schmidt and Outfielder Tommy Madden, of .the locals, made a couple of wild throws and let in two- more runs. Long used four pitchers.-Eastley. Browning, Sutor and Harry Fielder, and, all told, 18 men figured in his lineup. There was a crowd of 4000 people on hand.
