TRADE MEN TO FILL OUT
McCredie Borrows Catcher; Loanj
Two Pitchers Players Show
TTp Well, Considering Touth
of Season and Stiff Joints.
BY WILL G. MAC RAE.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cal.. March 7.
(Special.) Accidents never happen, but
events occur. An event that will be
one of historic mention occurred here
this afternoon, when the Merchants, a
fast and clever ball team, made up of
the flower of San Luis Obispo, met
and defeated Managrer McCredie's
hopefuls by the score of 3 to 4. It was
the first game of the training season,
yet in spite of this there were many
moments of real baseball strung
through the nine innings.
In order to make up the two teams
Portland borrowed Catcher Parson
from the local team and loaned Pitch
ers Harkness and Gray. McCredie Bent
in Carson and Seaton, Carson working
four timings and Seaton Ave. Both
twirlers showed up remarkably well,
considering they were cutting them
loose for the first time.
Seaton Nurses Bad Ribs.
While Carson was bending them over
he allowed only one hit, and this was
very scratchy. Seaton was touched
up for a total of six. The big, silent
blonde was not shoving them over be
cause he is still nursing a couple of
very sore ribs which he injured in a
recent fall. He seems to have every
thing a pitcher should have. Carson's
work while in the box was gilt-edge.
Seaton. after striking out the first
time up, slammed out a neat two
bagger. Speck Ilarkness held Portland safe
after the first inning, as long as he
was in the box, and tiie only thing that
gave his team-mates a chance to score
against him was his catcher, who could
not hold him and allowed two runs to
score because of passed balls. Gray,
who succeeded him, held safely at all
stages. Shortstop Oleson, who" arrived
this morning, celebrated his first ap
pearance in a Portland uniform by
whipping out a neat single the first
time up. He stole second and scored
on a passed ball.
Kennedy Spears the Clouds.
Graney walked and scored on an
other muff behind the plate. Ed Ken
nedy distinguished himself by jumping
Into the clouds and spearing one that
was bound for the uncut grass in the
next county. He scored in the sixth
Inning. Garibaldi hit for two hags in
the fifth and was robbed of another in
the sixth by a sensational stop. Car
son curved one that hit W. Ilarkness
on the digits, and when Buck hit safe
he scored. Singles by Sherman and
Miller in the sixth added another score
for the Merchants. In the eighth,
with Miller and AN'. Ilarkness on the
sacks, Sherman nd Buck lined out
singles which brought in two more
runs.
A fast double play from Kennedy to
Oleson to Johnson closed up the in
ning. Trainer Cornell Arrives.
Hosier B. Cornell, who will have
charge of the ; layers during their
training, arrived this afternoon.
Trainer Cornell is accompanied by
Mrs. Cornell. He brought news that
Tip ' O'Neill, who has charge of the
White Sox, has two. open dates and
wants to p'ay them against McCredie.
McCredie wired the White Sox manager
at once, and there will be two games
played in San Luis Obispo instead of
one. Great preparations are being
made for this game, and several near
by towns will send excursions here.

Jack Grant Corrects Statements
Made by John A. Barnes
in Spokane.
Replying to a dispatch' from Snokane
printed in The Oregonian yesterday morn
ing in which John S. Barnes is quoted
as saving that Jack Dempsey's grave is
unmirkcd and neglected. Jack Grant, the
well-known sporting authority of this city.
w:io was a personal friend of the "Non
pareil" during his lifetime, said: Barnes
is either mistaken or misquoted. Jack
IX-mpsey's grave is marked by a shaft
four feet tall, that compares favorably
with the monuments on many of the
graves at Mount Calvary Cemetery.
as to tne. last resting place of Demnsev
being unkppt and grown over by wueds
and the like, I do not believe that ruch
is the case. I have not seen the grave
ior two months, but at that time It was
well kept. I -have been assured by the
sexton that it would tie kept in good con
dition and have every reason to believe
that such is the case.
'The shaft placed at the head of Demp-
sey's grave was the result of an effort
made by Michael J. Brady. Fred T. Mer
rill ami myselT. Wo raised the required
funds by suoscrlption and the raffling of
his championship belt, which at the same
time served to assist his family. The re
ceipts showing the expenditures of this
work are now in my possession, and as
far as I know, no one skipped out with
any funds collected for marking Demp
sey's grave.
"Some one has been misinformed, and
any on who wishes to confirm this can
do so by visiting the cemetery. I hope
that you will print this statement in or
der to set at rest the Idea that Dempscy
has oeen slighted in any way."
Albright to Meet Sullivan. '
K. Campbell, manager of Con AlbrUrht.
last night announced that Albright would
meet Dan Sullivan in Portland In the
near future. This match has been de
cided upon and the principals will get
together today or tomorrow and sign up
articles, jt is quite likely that the win
ner will then be matched with O'C'onnell.
Albright has agreed to allow Sullivan to
enter the ring at 158 pounds.

invitations. While all are not expected
to send entries, at least 30 per cent
of them are likely to do so and this
number will warrant the assertion that
the meet will bo the largest in the
Northwest.
One feature that will undoubtedly
increase interest in the meet is the
scheduling of a ten-mile Marathon
race, which will start at the Armory
and finish there. The course selected
will extend from the Armory through
the streets of Portland to the Macadam
road and return. The route will be
measured to the required length of ten
miles, and the arrival of the runners
will be signaled to the crowd five min
utes before the first man reaches the
finish.

Autos of Finest Models.
The machines themselves are really
beautiful specimens of the highest ex
ample of American mechanical skill.
The bodies have the smooth and trans
parent polish of first-grade piano work.
The Interiors shows the last possible
perfection of upholstering, and simple
as many of these autos are In their
running gear, they show. In the more
costly models, to what degree of artis
tic finish American manufacturers
have atalned In the automobile.
All sorts of color combinations are to
be seen, sometimes running to a solid
tint with the green, red or blue pre
dominant, but always with a pleasing
and elegant effect, and occasionally
with two colors matched and shaded to
a nicety. There Is a durable and per
manent cast to all this finlsrf, besides,
which tells of resisting power to thei
elements, and the use of the very best
material obtainable In the world of
manufacture. There will be exhibited
every high-grade American machine,
and at least one high-grade Euporean
make. There will be demonstrators and
dealers. agents and manufacturers,
ribbons, cups, chauffeurs, enthusiasts,
grumblers. Idlers, the big and little,
women and children, dogs, baby-oarrl-ages.
etc. And the picture of -George
Washington at the entrance will serve
as an inspiration for the various machine-owners,
and the different dealers
in autos to follow his example.
It's a big show and a good one. It's
a show where there's lots to see. It's
a show guaranteed to furnish fine
music. It's a show that gives. In the
decorations alone, the worth of admis
sion; that gives In the music another
price of admission, and that gives In
the exhibit of automobiles a double
value for the money expended. It's
the biggest show on earth Just now
In the automobile line.
