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.

Walter McCredie and his bunch of

the league race, are leading- the other

The only Item In which the Portland

because he throws a game away now

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

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.

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.

of a lifetime. - -
