The Portland baseball, team, ."won. the sec
ond game from tha Monograms yester
day afternoon, by- a score of a to 1. The
game was a good one from start to finish,
and was evenly contested, except In the
second half -of the second Inning1, when
Portland bunched In four runs, sending
Anderson, Hupp, "Nfced and Tigneux

was caused by errors on the part of the

The sensational feature of the game was

l&affey being the victims. The day was
warm and sunny, and about 1000 spectators
nenjoyed the sport. Ed Rankin acted as
lanplre. , ,
It Is rather early to form opinions con
cerning Portland's baseball team, espe
cially the now players. However, the fans
jtvho have watched tho preliminary games
are pleased with the outlook.
The Monogram team contains some very
teleyer players and, with a little mora
'practice, they will make things lively for
everything in their class.
Tho Fidelity baseball team has been re
organized for the season, and will appear
in natty uniforms of navy blue and ma
roon. The team, is open to meet any nine
Jn the- state, Sonograms and Upchurch
preferred. The nine defeated Hlllsboro a
week ago in a well-played game, by a
score of 8 to 7. The team lined up -as fol
lows: Brown, catcher; Hoyt,' pitcher;
Newell, shortstop; Charles Gell, first base;
Cal Gell, second base; C. Patterson, third
base; Senner, left field; Jagger, center
field, and Belt, left field. Games have
fceen arranged with Newburs and Forest
"Grove.
T The Portland Academy baseball lads are
now "turning out Tegularly, and have al
ready -won a victory over the Vancouver
'High School. The boys are in excellent
jform, and bid fair to secure the Intorscho
lastlc championship of Portland. Litt will
captain the team and play second base.
"Williams will be .in the box, and Stott
-will play his usual position behind the
2at. Chalmers, Johnson and Hughes will
play shortstop, first base and third base,
respectively. The candidates for field po
sitions are Kocrnor, Sutherland, Fcnton
and "Wood. Professor H. H. Herdman
will coach. Lewis A. McArtbur Is man
ager,, with Carleton Harding as assistant.
The first game in the city will be next
Saturday, with the Portland Business Col
lege. On the following Saturday the team
will probably go to CorvaJlis to play the
Oregon Agricultural College. After that
throe games will be played with the Hill
Military Academy, and a return game, on
P A. fifild, with the Vancouver High
School. Other games have not yet
been arranged. Bruce Honeyman has been
appointed captain of the second team,
which Is turning out each night for prac
tice with the first team.
Harold Bristol, who was the crack
pitcher for Portland Academy two years
ago, has succeeded In making the 'varsity
team at Cornell University, where he Is
taking a course In forestry. Bristol ac
companied the Cornell team on its re
cent Southern trip, and played In eight
games. Speaking of the game with tho
"University of Georgia, the Cornell Alumni
News says: "Tho featuie of the game
was the great pitching of. Bristol. For
live innings he sent the Georgians out In
one, two, three order, and allowed only
thirty-two men to come io bat. He pitched
the entire game, and struck out eight
men."
Joe Tinker is a great favorite in the
Chicago National League team, and the
papers of the Windy City say that he
Is a wonderful third baseman. It Is the
opinion among Chicago fans that Tinker
will "make good," and that he will play
at either third or shortstop. Mike Lynch
2ias an even chance to break into the
loutfleld, and Jimmy "St. Vrain is doing
great work in the box. Salisbury has
pitched several games for Philadelphia
and is doing fair work. Glendon, at
"Cincinnati, Is suffering from a sore arm,
Jbut friends say he will be ono of the
chosen few.

REVDZTW OF THE DOG SHOW.
Jndse. Fred Mcnscll Praises the Port
land Exhibit.
The recent bench show of the Portland
Kennel Club was undoubtedly the finest
exhibition of its kind ever held In the
Pacific Northwest, if not on tho entire
Pacific Coast. Tho exhibition was a thor
ough one, covering many and varied
classes of dogs, and was managed with a
degreo of accuracy that speaks well for
its promoters. Fred Mansell, the English
fancier, who judged the show, certainly
demonstrated his knowledge of dogs, as
his awards were just in every instance.
Speaking of the show yesterday, Mr.
Mansell said: "I feel that I can hardly
allow my first visit to the Pacific Coast,
in pursuit of .my favorite occupation, to
pass without some public expression of
satisfaction with tho treatment which has
beon Itccorded me by the members of the
Portland Kennel Club. Coming, as I did,
from the largest and best-ordered ex
hibitions of dogs in England, and with a
familiarity with dogs extending over a
period of 40 years, I assure you that I was
most agreeably surprised at the order.

land show. In my opinion, the exhibition,
as far as tht quality of. sporting -dogs was
concerned, compares very favorably with
the best English shows.
"It is difficult for tho minor breeds to
make up such numerous exhibits as are
seen In my native land, but I can say that
I have Judged many English shows that
wore considerably Inferior to the one just
closed. The promoters of the Portland
show are a self-supporting body of ama
teur dog breeders, and a more willing and
energetic set of people I never mot. I
was quite prepared for the large attend
ance, for It has been my observation that
wherever the English-speaking race re
sides, there, too, you find an Intense love
over domestic , animals. I can say fur
ther that I am truly grateful for an op
portunity of visiting the great West, a
part of the world I have always longed
to see.
"In regard to the dogs themselves, I can
ray .that the beautiful bitch that carried
off first honors would sell for 100 in Eng-
land. She is a beauty, and would win
honors at any show. All the different
class winners, especially the pointers, set-
ters and cockers, are very valuable ani
mals. In a few more years the Pacific
Northwest will be able to cope with any
part of tha globe as far as exhibition dos
are concerned."

Cycle- Racea at Vailsbnrar.
NEW YORK, April 2a The estimated

day was tho quarter mile, flying start,
for profcsslomlK. It was won by the
National champion, Frank Kramer, In

FISHERMEN'S NEW SPQRT
SPORTSMEN CAN NOW BIAKE CASTS
for black: BASS.
Oregon. Streams Have Beea Surrep
titiously Stocked 'With. Gaxaest
Fish ox Earth.
Native Oregoniana generally are up to
date In all that pertains to trout fishing,
but few of them know anything about baas
fishing, which is considered superior sport
at the East, because it Is only lately that
there has been any baS3 fishing in this
region. Although it Is not definitely
known when or where boss were intro
duced here, as they were. It appears, in
troduced snrreptitl6usly by several par
ties, at 'different tjmes and In different
places. It la now generally knbwa that
there are a number of pieces of water not
far from Portland which aro well stocked
with bass, and also thai there are many
places In the Willamette where fair bassr
fishing can be obtained by thbse who know
how to fish for bass. Willamette Slough,
on tho Columbia, and Willamette Falls,
at Oregon City, are the most accessible
points where basB are caught. There are
many persons In the state who have
learned bass fishing hi Eastern, or rather
"Western" waters, for the Upper Missis
sippi and its tributaries and streams emp
tying into tho Great Lakes, furnish the
finest bass fishing in the world.
Now many Oregon sportsmen are look
ing forward to enjoying the sport of bass
fishing, of which they have heard so
much, and are anxious to learn all of the
Eeorets of. the "art," which Is quite dis
tinct from that of trout fishing.
There are several varieties of bass, the
gamest of which is the red-eyed, small
mouthed, vicious kind, which Is the true
black bass, and as game a fish as swims.
Tho next In esteem -with sportsmen Is the
Oswego, or large-mouthed green bass.
Both these varieties of bass are now to
be found In the waters of this region, but
there are several other and inferior kinds
of bass, as the rock bass, striped bass,
which have not knowingly been Introduced
here, which Is a good thing, as no one
cares to fish for them when the little
mouthed black base and the big-mouthed
green, or Oswego bass, are available.
It may be added here that In the vast
region east of the Rockies, where the
stream? and lakes are inhabited by all the
different orts of baBS. the same fish has
different names in different sections, and
there i3 a chance for endless disputes in
regard to varieties of bass, but small
mouthed black bass and big-mouthed bass
are the species whose acquaintance all
fishermen desire most particularly to form.
The baits used in bass fishing are nu-
t merouB, and run from that old stand-by,
the "angle or earthworm, up tirrougn
live minnows, frogs (small) and crawfish,
to a great variety of artificial baits, as
spoons of many kinds, phantom minnows,
rubber frogs, hellgrammltes, etc., while at
times a bait of 'salt pork, with a bit of red
flannel attached to the pork, is a great
killer. The person desirous of enjoying the
sport of bass fishing in Oregon will, there
fore, see that he has to make himself ac
quainted with the tastes, and likings of
the ba6S for many kinds of baits, both
WIN-
natural and aryflclal, beside the artificial
fly, which he may investigate later.
Thrro is one bait urcd in this region
which Eastern bas3 fishers know not of.
and which is the moat deadly lure for
trout of all kinds, and which will doubt
less prove as effectual with bass, that Is
-"salmon roe." This deadly bait la tabooed
by all "spprtsmen," but they all use It just
tho same, at times, and If a bait of fresh
salmon roe does not cause any bass, black
or green, big or Httle-mouthcd, to lose
his presence of mind, then bass are su
perior In. intellect to other fishes.
All kinda or any kind of tackle may be
used In fishing for bass, from the fancy
split bamboo, down to the plain cane or
bamboo pole. Bass fishing is different
from the generality of trout fishing, aa
the baas favor larger streams and deeper
water, and much bass fishing is done from
boats, but there are many places where
opportunities can be found 4for bank cast
ing. At suitable times differing with iiia
seasons, bass will be found In swift rif
fles. In quiet, shady pools, In eddies under
bluff banks, on sand-bars below Islands,
and in deep sloughs; In short, in any
placo where food Is borno along by the
current, or where it Is whirled around in
eddies before going down stream.
With these few pointers and others that
may be obtained from books, or better,
frcci old fishermen, there will be no trou

complete. Thla Is made evident In the
hasty passage of a bill by the State
Legislature Incorporating the "Rhode
Island Company:"
With power to lease, purchase, acquire,
hold, possess, exercise, use, enjoy and
dispose of property, rights, contracts,
powers, privileges and franchises of any
and every jras company, electric lighting
company and street railway company in
corporated under the laws of the State
of Rhode Island; and with power also to
acquire, hold and dispose of the stocks,
bonds, securities ami obligations of any
and every such company, and of any
and every corporation, wherever organ
ized, which owns or controls at least a
majority of the stock of any such com
pany. This clears the way for the merging
of al! the. lighting and street railway
companies of the state into one great
security-holding concern like the North
ern Securities Company or the United
States Steel Corporation, and a beginning
will at once be made of absorbing the
gas, electric lighting, and railway com
panies In Providence. The capital stock
of the company at the outset is fixed
at $2,000,000, but this may be Increased
to any amount on vote of a majority of
the stockholding interest. No limit is
placed upon the charges which the com
pany, through its sub-companies, may
Impose on the public, save that they must
not exceed the rates in force at tho time
of acquiring the sub-companies. Within
that limit the company can do as
it pleases. It appears to bs above public
regulation; and while the measure, aa
at first considered, mado the contract be
tween the state and the company spe
cifically perpetual for all practical pur
poses. It says nothing On thla point aa
finally enacted. Thus Inferential!? tho
grant Is a perpetual one. In return for
these extraordinary privileges the com
pany is to pay Into tho State Treasury
a franchise tax of 1 per cent on gross
receipts from the sale of gas and electric
ity, and of from 1 to 15 per cent on gross,
earnings from Its street railways up to
1905 and 2 per cent thereafter.
