Portland, 5. I.ns Angeles, 2. Big Ed Kinsolla, the happy bridegroom, performed during yesterday's matinee, so there was a happy ending all round. Ruby Randolph was on the firing line for Cap tain Dillon and with the exception of a slight attack or wobbles, in which both slabster offended, tho game was a bat tle royal from start to finish. Randolph was In search of his range-tinder in the sixth chapter, forcing one of Portland's pennant hopefuls over the pan. The rest of the runs came home because they were driven there: The locals got busy with Randolph in the opener. Casey drew four wide ones and Ryan bingled over second. McCredie dumped one down, advancing Casey and Ryan along the route. Babo Danzig struck the ozone route and the gleeful noise of the sun gods became a wall for Bassey. The Italian didn't disappoint. He caught a wide one, dropped it into short right, when Brashear tried to grapple It, the ball got by and rolled to the fence, and was good for three cushions. Casey and Ryan registered, but Johnson also went the way of the wind jammer. Angels Bus; in Third. Los Angeles, kept making threats until tho third and In this canto they finally put one over. A couple of passes Issued by the bridegroom, together with a double steal and Coouey's error, gave Dillon his chance to score. Brashear was one of the Angels that benefitted by Kinsella's passes. That is, he benefitted to the ex tent of getting on the base and then, when .Madden made a bum heave to sec ond to catch him, he kept on coming home. Ryan retrieved the ball and winged it to the plate. The throw was a beauty and morguod Kitty at the pan. 'In com ing in. Madden blocked Brashear and in the mixup. Brashear was put out of busi ness with a turned ankle. Kasteriy de buted into the game at this juncture. After this there wasn't much doing until the ninth. Danzig touched things off with a rattling single and Bassey sacrificed him to. second. Johnson again became a windjammer. Madden hit to "Wheeler, and the keystone sacker foozled the approach, sending Danzig to third and placing Madden safe. Randolphy lost his range-finder cm Cooney, and although he slaved hard to .get rid of Kinsclja. he failed and passed Kd along. This forced Danzig home to make room on the pillow. Happy Hokhii hadn't been heard of much, so when his old pal came up there was trouble for Hogan. Casey mushed one of Randolph's choicest, Jlappy was In a brainstorm hurry to heave the ball to Dillon, and the toss went to the land of bleach, scoring Madden and Cooney. Thanks, Happy! Another Score in Ninth. In the ninth. Kinsella took things easy. Smith poked out a ripping single to leftt Kllis' grounder forced-the dentist at sec ond, but saved his own life, because Kin sella thought more of getting Smith. Bert Delmas ruffled things up with his second two-bagger of the game. The poke went to the fence, in Basseyville, scoring Ellis and that was all. for Ryan took care of Hogan and Randolph, who skied to cen ter. 'Thrown into the game was a lot of real baseball. Casey saved a run in the first Inning, when he grabbed Brashoar's short infield drive. Casey had to move like lightning to morgue Kitty at first. Mad den and Cooney also worked Into a rapid fire double that nipped trouble in the bud. There was also that one-handed spear of Jud Smith's, when he grabbed Bassey's Fhot. tagged McCredie and then heaved the ball to DOIon in time to get Bassey. The score: I.OS5 AN'fJELKS. SL'MMAItT.

IG ED KENNEDY slammed out a home run for Fresno the other day and the bugs of that California town are euro he is the greatest ball player on earth and any old time that Kennedy won't help them to believe it you can win JIOO.000,000. Hal Chase is at the top of the American League swntters. He has made 20 hits up to last Sunday. ' Benny Henderson, who is weeping and wailing to get his suspension lifted, has'nt lost a game so far this season for the Cal ifornia outlaw team with which he is playing. No one is wasting sympathy on Benny for he scrambled bis own eggs. The Tri-City League officials want the fans to understand there Is no such ball team as the "Frakes." Just remember they are the West Portland and the offi cials will be happy. Any way lets all be thankful for one thing: Happy Hogan, the mump dis tributer, has quit the business. Physi cians pronounced him absolutely cured before he camo north. "YVTieeler looked natural in a 'Los Ange les uniform. He can still clout the ball some. There were a couple of cross-eyed two baggers hurled into yesterday's came. Two at least were singles that escaped the ouiiicidora and rolled- to the fence. CLUB PLANS FLOAT Multnomah to Have Part in the Festival. ATHLETES JOIN IN PARADE Plans Are Well Along for Big Field and Track Meet Under Auspices or "Winged "M" on Sat urday, June 0. In addition to raitfying the proposed field and track meet to be held in Port land on Saturday, June 6. of Rose Car nival week, the directors of the Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club last night decided to furnish 100 uniformed athletes for the festival parade. This body will be uniformed by the Rose Festival Asso ciation and will man two large floats in the floral parade, during which they will give gymnastic exhibitions for the bene fit of the spectators along the line of march. Plans for the big field and track meet are well under way and the work of reconstructing Multnomah Field is prac tically completed, for in two weeks the athletes of the club will be able to work out on. the- new field and track. Thurs day morning a 15-ton steam roller will be placed in operation levelling the field and track and In about five days after that operation is finished it is expected that the cinder path and necessary space devoted to athletics will be in. readiness to accommodate the athletes. Complete by June 1. By June 1 It is expected to have all the Improvements completed and the base ball team of the club will probably be the first athletic team to use the new grounds for a public exhibition, while on May 28 Professor Krohn will give the big public drill of 4000. school children on the newly-Improved field. President George W. McMillan has written the athletic bodies of the Uni versity of Oregon, University of Wash ington, University of Idaho, Whitman College, Oregon Agricultural College, Washington State College, Pacific Uni versity, University of Puget Sound. Wil lamette University, and all the athletic clubs of the Northwest for their ban ners, for it is the intention of the Mult nomah Club to fly the colors of each athletic institution of the Northwest from ftagstaffs on the top of the new grand stand, which will shortly be completed. All the college artd athletic club colors will be displayed on June 6, the' date of the big All-Northwest field and track meet, at which practically all of the in stitutions named will be represented by five or more entries. Nineteen flagstaffs will be erected on the top of the stand extending from one end to the other. In the center, the tallest staff will float the American flag, while adjoining it on either sido will be staffs a' trifle shorter in length on which will be the rival colors of the athletic institutions competing in dual meets, while the other staffs will be shorter still, but of equal height for the pur pose of displaying all the colors on days when big meets are in progress or on gala occasions. Much Interest in Meet. The coming field and track meet Is at tracting more interest in club circles than any previous meet ever held in the Northwest, and is especially interesting to the members of the Multnomah Club for the reason that, with the assistance of American's premier sprinter and hurdler, Fred C. Smithson, the local ath letic institution hopes to score enough points to win the Northwest champion ship. From the standpoint of the public it should be of greater interest , than any previous meet, because all the colleges, in addition to the athletic club, will be represented for the first time In the Northwest. Heretofore the collegians have either competed in inter-varsity events, or with individual clubs, and this year will be the first time they have en tered against all the athletic and educa tional institutions in one gigantic meet. During the A. A. U. contests at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, several ed ucational institutions were arrayed against the athletic clubs, but the coming meet promises to eclipse the fair games in every particular, and Multnomah's new track promises to give out some new records. It is now expected that thero will be something like 150 entries for the meet, making It the largest affair of the kind ever held in this section of the country- XOHTHWEST LEAGUE. Won. Lost. P.C.

Butte opened the season here today by giving the Tacoma Tigers the worst beat ing they have had yet. Hall's team out hit Tacoma 3 to 1. bunching the bingles to good effect. Tacoma's team is weak ened by the absence of Mike Lynch and Danny Shea, both of whom are laid up indefinitely with injuries. Young Carson went in the box for the Tigers, but he had nothing, and was driven to the woods in the second inning, when the visitors made four runs. Osborne, who replaced him. was little better. When Samuels lost control in the fourth and Tacoma scored twice, Hall called him in and sent out Claflln. The fielding of both teams was spotted, sometimes ragged and at other times brilliant.
