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.

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-
