Portland 6, Los Angeles 5. Read this and smile, ye baseball ians. Laugh out loud, ye -who have hoped j'ear after year for a -winning: ball team, lor that nine has come. In their blue uniforms and white stock ings, McCredle's men made a fine ap pearance, when they troted out on the Chutes Park field this afternoon, and when they went into action they showed themselves to be ballplayers. Portland Is done with tall-enders. Let this statement sink deep, for If today's exhibition of baseball Is a forerunner of what Manager McCreedic's 1905 team can do, then Portland will be always among the leaders. Hindered "by the rains In. their training at. Bakersfleld, the Webfooters took the Loo Loos Into camp in the opening game of the sea son, In a most improved baseball style. McLean Starts Fireworks. - It was Catcher McLean's rich, rlp4 and juicy wallop in the third Inning that started the .fireworks. Clark was down when the bis catcher smacked his bat against one of young: Baura's finest. The ball was hit Into the cor ner of the fence, in deep center field. French fouled out, making It two down, but the two-play hit habit took possession of the "Webfooters, and Van Buren slung one- to left that dropped fair by an eyelash. Then McCredie did likewise. Schlafly. just to help matters, placed a nice past-second single. Then it was Runkle's turn, and once more the Spalding rambled to the outfield for two cushions. Then the Rooters Awoke. Tucked away In the grandstand were a couple of Portland rooters. Among them was Jack Reilly, whom everybody In Portland knows. "Well, when the runs began pouring; over the plate. Reilly and the rest of the rooters cut loose. It seemed almost like being out at the Vaughn-street grounds. Five hits, four of them two-baggers, netting five runs, was what happened Jn this inning. The Los Angeles fans were rendered howlless. They had been so used to beating Portland that It had become a habit. It used to be "despised" Portland, but the song has changed, my hearties, for at last one of the best towns In the league will have a team they will bo proud of. The team is a big one big men and good ballplayers.. Only the hardest kind of hard luck can keep this team from being a winner. Van Misses First Ball. There wcro the usual preliminaries of the opening of the season before the game. First the weather man cut In, and at noon the wind blew a gale, and It threatened rain. Four automobiles took the Portland players from the ho tel to the City Hall, where the Mayor and members of the City Council and the Los Angeles players were waiting in automobiles. There was the street parade, and It was 3 'o'clock before Mayor McAleer tossed the first ball over the plate. Van Buren, who heads the batting list, tried to land on the ball that the Mayor threw over the plate. He missed it, and the fun began. Baum was selected to oppose French, and the pair fought a splendid slab duel. Van Buren drove a screecher to Toman that was too hot to handle, and the Deacon was safe. Made McCredie Blush. McCredie followed him to the bat. and as he stepped to the plate the boys struggling under the weight of a mas sive floral horseshoe rushed up .to him and placed the flowers at the new man ager's feet. A card attached tothe flowers bore. this legend: "From a few good Portland fans.' McCredie blushed like a schoolgirl. He stung .one of Bauxn's benders, but failed to knock It out of the Infield, and Van Buren was forced at second. Schafly made the third out. Bernard, first up for Los Angeles, sin gled, but it got Los Angeles nothing. Now the game settled down in earnest until the third, and that has been told. Ray of Hope for Angels. An infield miscue In the fourth gave Los Angeles her' first run. In the fifth Inning Los Angeles made a deter mined bid for the game. Flood, Smith and Dillon touched French for three Mingles In a row, and they counted for runs before the third Loo Loo was put out. This spurt gave the home fans heart, and .they began to howl that Portland had blown up. This was a hope wlth out the realization. The Lewis and CUrk City this year baa s, teun of bill- players who -won't quit, ansteadipf go injj to pieces, they fought like Japanese soldiers. In the sixth, Runkle and Atz -both singled, and French- brought Runkle home with a olean aingle through sec ond. This made It 6. for Portland. They needed the run. for Los Angeles an nexed a run In their half of the same inning. Team Work a Bit Ragged. Portland put up a gilt-edged game of ball. The team is a bit ragged in spots, but this Is due to the fact that today's game Is reafiy the first hard game the team, has played. McCredie lost all of his practice games at -Bakersfleld. and those his team did play were with high school teams. Los An geles, on the other hand, is practically a seasoned team right now. French is all that has been said about him. His work in the box was superb. Every batsman who faced him was now to hlro, and he was kept hustling all the time to study out their weaknesses. Once be had pitched around the Los An geles batting order he had his men sited up. After this he always had them in a hole. French is just one of McCredle's good pitchers. -Garvin, Jones, Esslck. Cates and St. Vraln certainly gle Portland a great pitching staff, and they will be backed up by one of the fastest in fields in the league. Schlafiey and Atz are as fast as lightning. Runkle at third is also fast. Clark's work at first was a bit off color, but this was due to the fact that he Is not in, condition. Ho has just Joined the team, and will round to a little later. ' Backstop Is a Wonder. Behind the bat this big man McLean is a wonder. He is the man thai Port land has been looking for for two years. He Is over six feet tall, but ex tremely fast on the bases. Tomorrow Swindells, another big fellow, will go behind the bat, and McLean will take care of first base. Bert Jones, who Is in the pink of condition, will pitch. -Ho-Credle Is saving Garvin for Sunday. Tonight from Manager McCredie lown, the whole team is hapy. They take the winning of the first game, some thing that has not happened to a Port land team for marry years, as a -good sign, and declare they will come home in first place. It certainly looks good. In Very Happy Mood. "I am naturally very happy," said Manager McCredie after the game, "and if we can -win half of our games on the road, I feel sure that we will be lead ing the league before wo take the road again. This sounds like big talk, but I believe I have a great ball team. They do not know what it means to quit, and we always will be heard frjom." The score: LOS ANGELES. AB R IB SB PO A E Bernard, cf .

Johnson Is the colored heavyweight champion of the world and the belief bad gone abroad that bo was the one man in America who could make a good fight against the champion. Hart Is already Johnson's superior, but It Is a tremendous stride from Johnson to Jeffries. The match will In all proba bility be arranged next week. As to Hart's chances against Jeffries, there is but one opinion here, and that Is that be will make about as good a showing as did Munroe. Hnrt Is a cleverer man than Munroe, but he Is not In Jeffries' class. Ho is anxious for the miJL howover, and Jeffries Is per fectly willing to meet him.

(Spe ciaL) Professor E. S. Meany, of the University of Washington's faculty, has ended his share of the controversy with the pioneer-historian. Ezra Meeker, over the history of Governor Isaac Stevens, by admitting the territorial executive's proneness to drink, and de claring Meeker exaggerated conditions, and drew the wrong conclusions. He said today: "I have not denied that story of the intoxication. I long ago learned from old pioneers that Stevens sometimes did look upon the wine when It was red. "What I .wished to imply was that Mr. Meeker would, have to show a very good reason for assailing a man of Stevens achievements on such a score as that. "The whole tendency of that part of the book, as shown by the table of con tents, is to magnify real or imaginary faults upon the' part of Stevens in or der to Justify the assumption that Leschl was improperly executed. Tho table of contents docs not promise fair ness or Impartiality of treatment. If the book does not turn out better, then Mr. Meeker's assault upon Mr. Stevens will fall as flat as tho traditional pan cake."

MORE WILL BE CHARTERED Portland L Asiatic Company Negoti ating for Another Steamer Exporters May Also En gage a Tramp. The Dumbartonv will not be the only additional steamer to carry flour from Portland to the Orient next month. It was thought. when this vessel was en gaged that it would suffice for all the shipments that the regular llneni of the Portland & Asiatic Company could not handle, but no sooner was the Dumbar ton fixed than It was found that all the cargo she could carry and more too was in sight. More orders have come in since, then, enough to make up an additional cargo. It is probable that the additional steam er will be put on by the Portland Sz Asiatic Company.- The next one of Its regular fleet due here, the Aragonta, has had all her space engaged for some time, though jhe is not scheduled to sail until April 13. Applications for more spaces have come in so heavily that the company has found it necessary to secure more tonnage, or see the shippers charter tramps on their own account at lower rates, which will do the established tariff no good. Negotiations are, therefore, un der way and will probably be concluded today by which tho company will secure a suitable vessel for tho purpose. Two nandy-size steamers are understood to have been offered to the company. Should the deal fall through, the exporters say they will at once charter a steamer them selves, and It Is Intimated that two may be secured. The Dumbarton is due at Tatoosh from Hlogo on April 10. and on arriving there will receive orders to proceed at once to this city. She will sail from here about April 20 with a full cargo of 6000 tons of flour. Whatever other steamers are en gaged will leave here about the same time, as shipments cannot be made much later to reach Japan before the Increase In duty takes effect. It Is to anticipate this rise in the tariff that the present flurry In buying Is due. Flour brokers here nave been advised that the Minneapolis millers, who have lately done considerable business with the Japanese government In low-grade flour, have advanced their prices. This trading has not been of much consequence, when compared with the export business of this Coast, but the nature of it was such as to crowd the Eastern mills, and the higher prices arc the result. Tho ad vance has not yet checked the buying, as the Japanese must have the cheap flour with which to feed their Russian prison ers, and they cannot get the low-grade anywhere else than In Minnesota. The mills here produce a so-called low-grade flour, but it is a standard of purity and excellence as compared with the "Red Dog" of Minneapolis. FOARD BUYS THE C. A. KLOSE Astoria Man Speculates in Wrecked Schooner and Cargo. ASTORIA. March 30. Special.) A. W. Beadle, owner of the wrecked schooner C A. Klose. and.

When Mr. Beadle and Mr. Genereaux arrived at the scene of the wreck they found five carloads of lumber from the Klose standing on a sidetrack ready to be shipped, and several men were at work loading other cars.
