BEAVERS IN LEAD IE TO Excel Other Teams in All but One Department. Coast League Season Will Be Opened by Beavers With the Seals.. ARE LACKING IN HOMERUNS OM HO M GALA DAY FOR' THE FANS Judge George II. Williams and Colonel (Jhn McCraken, Oldest Battery on the Diamond, Will Handle the Initial Ball. BY WILI. G. MAC RAG. . Colonel John McCraken, pitcher. J mine George H. Williams, catcher. This is the battery that will handle the first ball over the plate tomorrow after noon in the first game at home of the Coast League baseball season. The, com bined age of the two distinguished ball teasers is 176 years, making them the oldest battery ever seen on a diamond to my knowledge, and, best of all, both are ardent fans: fans who are keen critics of the game, not the howling, buggy, rooter kind. Like the small boy who plays hooky just to peer through a knothole, both Judge Williams and Colo nel McCraken have played hooky from business more than once to see a ball game. While the sight of these gentlemen of the tine old school on the diamond will be worth traveling miles to see. there will be other things on the programme that the fans will be equally interested in. among others a brajss band and a parade with the players and other promi nent people in automobiles. It will be a gala day. Not since 1906. the pennant winning year, have the fans been so in terested in a team as they are In Mc Credie's present crew. There are many new faces cn the team'and the fans are anxious to receive an introduction. But what has caused the liveliest in terest, is the way the team has been isoing at it within the past two weeks. Many of the fans lost heart when the Seals grabbed seven In a row from Port land a few weeks ago, and I was ac ;used of being every thing from a false prophet to a horse thief because I .had touted the men so highly while they were ;n training. Made Them Feel Easier. To say "wait" to some of the hostile Franks, was as dangerous as offering a jrohib a shot of booze. After a few tames when the score showed how the team was meeting the ball, the bugs be v rame a bit easier,, for they were sure " that when once a hitting team so well balanced as McCredie had, got started, '.hey wold fight their way to the-top. The onward progress has begun and the leavy marching was done through the Seals, the team that was responsible for us being In the cellar Captain "Kid" Mohler and the San Francisco fans began to smile scornfully when they heard the name of Portland, thought of duck soup and other delight .. ful repasts. Now the bill of fare has changed. We began getting fat on the Seals last week and as the schedule was happily fixed, we have the opening week at home of the same diet. Pour straights is nice Juicy picking. It might just as well have been five, but evidently McCredie thought he had the Seals on the run and made ui his mind that even a busher could turn the trick. It was the rankest kind of had Judgment for McCredie to put Billy Bloomfteld in to work against the Seals. I have said It until I am tiled, that Wamfield hasn't heen worth a tinkfr's whoop since he took the team to victory against the White Sox. I shall be very much surprised if he comes back again tli ia season. No young pitcher, or old one, for that matter, can stand up for nine innings and throw nothing but curve ball that early In the season and be any good the rest of the year. It's to he regretted that Bloomfield did this, bcause he Is a corking good little pitcher and a gentleman from the crown of his sorrel top to the soles of his feet. Saved Ote Johnson. McCredie likes him personally, and so do the rest of the players, and even if the youngster does, not come back this Summer. McCredie should keep him. for he certainly was the means of saving Ote Johnson to Portland, ' when that player was about to takevthe hurdles. Billy hy calling Mayer a thief to his face, made Johnson change his mind, and the talk gave Portland one of the best third basemen In" the league. Judge McCredie has made several' new moves this year In the matter of handling the crowds. Fans holding grandstand tickets will have to go through only one turnstile. This will be a convenience, but whether the gates are wide enough is a matter that will have to be ascertained. On either side of the grandstand gates are the pass gates and the gates to the bleachers. The gates are now situated within a few feet of the ticket office, and Judge McCredie thinks that with rapid ticket takers at the gates, there will be no congestion. Let us hope so. for nothing spoils the disposition of a fan like having to stand in line and be jostled and trampled upon. Now then, here is something that will make Judge McCredie a hero with every boy fan under 12 years old in the city. He has set aside Wednesday afternoon as free for the little chaps. The bleachers are to be turned over to them on this afternoon. Maybe you think there won't be some tall rooting for the home team very Wednesday afternoon after school is out, and that the gate man won't have his hands full trying to tell who is 12 years old and who is older. Ladles, -as usual, will be admitted free Friday after noons. Auto Club to Participate. George S. Shepherd, secretary of the club, who has been busy for a week or mere planning the home-coming reception lias extended invitations to Mayor Lane and the members of the City Council to attend the game. His invitation has been accepted and they will take part in the parade. The Automobile Club will also turn out. R. D. Inman, president of the club has accepted and the club wil take part in the parade and see the opening game. President Inman requests all the members of the Automobile Club to turn out and they will form at Sixth and Washington streets, at 1:30 o'clock sharp. In San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles the part that the automobile clubs play in the opening day parade is one of the features. Cbit-Chat of Sporting World BY WILL O. MAC RAE. ' TOO bad that McCredie hadn't lost his voice before he said to Billy Bloomfield, "You work today." It would have been five straight, sure. .

I Walter McCredie and his bunch of balltossers, in spite of their position in the league race, are leading- the other clubs in practically every department. The only Item In which the Portland players do not figure, as yet, is in the matter of home runs,' for none of the Beavers have hit the ball for the circuit so far this season, while the other three clubs all are represented In the four-bag : ; IV -'-tit - - f 1 I 'i liirtiittsiliffiiiiii ambrosb m. cnoxix, jr., son of mr. and mrs. a. m. croxix, I ENJOYING A RIDE ON HIS PONY. cause he' is not meeting the ball, and because he throws a game away now and then. When' you see him in ac tion and see him save so .many games, you'll forgive him, sirre. . Just think of it... Just two days more. No wonder the old-time base ball fan is suffering from a rising temperature. About $50 in tickets to the game have been taken in already. Anxious Fan Don't worry v about Judge, McCredie. He has arranged his court calendar so that he will not have anything but baseball to think of this week. . The sun gods won't get a chance to run over the field this season. A high wire screen has been put up. It will also save the umps from stopping pop bottles and cushions, heaved at them by the murderous and crazy bugs. . . .There will be no more cussing about the phony lineup on the score cards. Kach player's name and the position lie plays will be displayed on a blackboard near the flagstaff, and the fans can write them in their own score-books. Just look for the line up. Manager McCredie is bringing Har mon to Portland for the purpose of farming him out to some team in the Tri-City League. Mac had better keep Harmon and farm Billy Bloomfield for a month or so. Salem m.ay get Har mon. BEAVERS START FOR NORTH Portland and San Francisco Teams to Play Here Tuesday. SAN FRANCISCO, May 3. (Speclal.)

Officiates for Three Intermarriages in Same Fami lies in One 'Week. COLFAX, Wash.. May 3. (Special.) Cupid found willing targets for half a dozen darts In two families of Diamond, Wash.,' in the wedding of J. H. Gray, of Diamond, and Miss Cressie E. jCosten, of the same place, yesterday. Justice I. B. Doollttle performed the ceremony in the parlors of the Hotel Whitman in the pres ence of a few friends. This is the third Costen-Gray weeding at which Judge Doolittle has officiated within the last week and the fourth mem ber of the Costen family that he has married in the last four years. On April 24 he married Charles Costen and Miss Agnes Gray, and on April 29 he was called upon to perform a similar service for A. O. Costen and Miss (Nellie Gray, while yesterday he performed the cere mony for the brother of the brides 4n the previous weddings and a sister of the grooms. This record stands without a parallel In the matrimonial annals of the county and Justice Doolittle challenges any "marry ing justice" or parson either, to equal this. - JAIL-BREAKERS ARE CAUGHT Young Men Wanted in Eugene Un der Arrest at Heppner. HEPPNEB, Or., May 3. (Special.) Fred Craig and Si Jones, two young men wanted in Eugene for a serious crime, were arrested here this afternoon ,by Sheriff Shutt. These men. together with some others, are said to have plied young g4rls with liquor and afterward, according to the testimony of the girls, to have maltreated them. Later the men broke jail and escaped. They are being held pending instructions from Eugene, and have admitted their guilt. Jones served a short term in the penitentiary for shooting a policeman. swat column. The Portlanders excel in the number of stolen bases, two-base hits, three-sack drives, sacrifice hits and double plays, and in addition have prac tically 'all the regular players well up in batting percentages. The home coming will likely prove a benefit to the Beavers, for the -local grounds are good for the batsmen, and all the players in the league like the Vaughn-street enclosure for the reason that it is free from the high winds that are so prevalent in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

SHARES ARE NOW SOc v WILL SOON BE $1.00 DON'T HESITATE OR YOU WILL REGRET IT Northwestern Exploration & Development Co. Our stock is being takn up with surprising rapidity." The millionaire, the merchant, the doctor, . . the lawyer, the mechanic, are all buying it. Why not you? And do it now. We want to hear the -hum .of the wheels of our mill within a few months, then the shipping of our lumber, and then the income. Will you be one of the lucky ones to share in' the profits? $i00 invested now will give you a life income. - , , I can positively convince you that there is no better investment on the present market than the one here offered. 4 ; Think of it! Four billion feet of high-priced, hardwood, merchantable timber, located on the Coast, accessible and easily logged, on good, wide, tidewater rivers. The market for every foot of this vast tract is already established, and the profits will be enor mous. Ten million feet per year can be sold in the immediate vicinity of our plant. This one market . guarantees a' net profit of 30 per cent on the entire investment, and represents but a small propor tion of our output. This large tract of timber is located on the Pacific Coast, where we have the best shipping facili ties to any port in the world available. The timber consists principally of the highest-priced woods used in the manufacture of pianos, hotel fixtures, shipbuilding, railroad and electric cars, house and office trimmings, furniture, and many other indispensable wood commodities. The woods eomprise MAHOGANY, LIGNUM VITAE, EBONY, CEDAR, ROSEWOOD, OAK, RUBBER, BALSAM, COPOEBA, C0C0B0LA. The net price of this valuable tract of timber is less than 20d PER THOUSAND FEET, and most of it finds a ready market at prices ranging from $100 to $400 per thousand. . The LIGNUM VITAE is in great demand, and marketable at more than $1000 per thousand feet. The Board of Directors of the Northwestern Exploration & Development Co., which controls this 1 timber, has authorized me to sell a limited number of shares of its stock at 50 per share (par value $1.00), for the purpose of installing a plant of sufficient size to meet the demands of the market. I have on exhibition at my office samples of wood (highly polished), cut from this tract; also cruisers' reports andother data, which will convince at once the most skeptical of the wonderful money-making resources of this enterprise. .
