Jacksonville Fans Eager for Base
ball Casey Balks on Weather
IJislied Out and Will Send Xlne
on Road Ax to Fall Today.
BY WILL G. MAC RAB.
MEDFORD. Or.. April 4. (Special.)
When It comes to passing out med
als for genuine bravery, that Carnegie
committee ought not to overlook the
baseball fans of Medford and Jackson
ville, for they sure do beat the world
for downright courage. Thev tT.H
out this afternoon, not many of them
to be sure, and Insisted upon seeking
a ballgame. with the atmosphere try
ing to drive the slender thread of
quicksilver through the bottom of the
thermometer.
Flurries of snow during the morning
hours failed to keep the Jacksonville
fans at home. Rain at noon did not
dampen their desires, and It was not
until the heavens pelted the ballplay
ers off the field in the fifth inning,
with the score S to 0. with hail, did
these brave fans allow old J. Pluve to
have bis way.
Kven then there was a muttered dis
content among some of the rabid ones
because Manager Casey unfurled a flag
of truce to the elements and withdrew
his men.
In order to balance the engagement
ueiween t-ortiand and Jacksonville.
Manager Casey lent the villagers a
battery, composed of Osburn and Beau
mont, while Ames and Fournler
heaved and caught for Portland. The
opening round was uneventful, but in
the second Portland sent Garibaldi
around their circuit. In the third
Inning two more registered. While
this was going on, Jacksonville failed
to get very familiar "Vlth the cold
weather shooting of Rex Ames and he
kept them In the same state of diszy
excitement until the fifth inning, when
the storm drove everybody to shelter.
The kind of weather that has been
dished up here Is hardly conducive to
prepare a band of baseball athletes for
a Summer's campaign. Several mem
bers of the training squad are on the
sick list. Today both Swanton and
Cooney were out of the game. Man
ager Casey decided this afternoon's
game would be the last he would play
until the weather got warmer. He will
send his players on the road, and Chief
Pinnance will be placed In charge of
the daily hikes, for he is the tireless
red brother when It comes to road
work. This coming week will be full of
blue trouble for a bunch In this train
ing camp. The head man has sharp
ened his axe and the basket waits the
heads of more than one hopeful, for
Manager Casey will soon be plucking
the weeds out of his baseball garden.

San Francisco and Oakland Break
Even on Day's Games.
SAX FRANCISCO, April 4. It would
seem that the Oakland and San Fran
cisco teams play best on their home
grounds, for the Oaklanders took the
morning game across the Bay today
by the close score of 4 to 3, while the
San Francisco aggregation batted out
a T to 0 victory In the metropolis In
the afternoon contest.
The unsteadiness of Browning In the
third inning of the first game cost
San Francisco the game. In that inning
he allowed four hits and struck a
batsman.
The locals were in a vindictive mood
in the afternoon, hammering Boyce for
five runs. and eight hits in the four
innings he was allowed to play. John
son, who relieved him, could not stop
the scoring, and two more men crossed
the home plate after six hits had been
gathered. Willis was In fine form,
granting but four hits and himself hit

JUDGE TALKS BACK
What McCredie Thinks of
Ewing's Stand.
INSISTS ON KEEPING SHINN
Portland Magnate Returns From
Seattle, Where He Looked Into.
Prospects of Members of
Northwestern League.
Judge W. W. McCrpdip returned
to
Vancouver from a week's trip to Seat
tie late Saturday nisrht. and snent vos
terday afternoon in Portland. The Judge
says Seattle's team looms up fairly well
and also that Dutrdale is so completely
"buffaloed" by last season's experience
that he "won't chirp the least little bit"
about what his team Is going to do this
season. Dug has alljunds of hopes, but
will not give voice "to any predictions,
said McCredie.- The Vancouver Jurist is
also very sweet on Pearl Casey's team,
and thinks Portland will prove one of the
contending teams in the new league.
"I read that criticism of Cal Bwlng In
The Sunday Oregonian," said-Judge Mc
Credie yesterday afternoon, "and I want
to say that It was directly to the point
In every particular. Mr. Swing Is al
together too fond of his holdings in the
San Francisco club to suit Portland, and
I do not believe you have made any mis
take in giving him a run for his money
ln this Shinn case. I believe his action
In this matter Is the highest-handed piece
of business I have ever heard of in base
ball. He asserts that Portland promised
to help out the new clubs In the league
and points to the fact that San Francisco
has given Sacramento three players,
and that Los Angeles has given Vernon
a similar number.
"That la all right as far as they are
concerned, but I think Portland con
tributed all that was necessary when we
relinquished Catcher Jimmy Byrnes to
that club. In the case of Los Angeles
that club was vitally interested in the
forming of the Vernon team and there
fore had an object In tendering good
men to that club. As far as the players
given Sacramento by San Francisco are
concerned Jimmy Byrnes himself Is worth
i me piayers tendered It by San
Francisco, and Mr. Ewlng knew full well
that we had to gather together two teams
ourselves, and that after we haa lost
four players to the major leagues, while
San Francisco lost only one man. Be
fore Sacramento was admitted to the
Pacific Coast League we had Jimmy
Shinn's name signed to a contract, and
he will play with Portland as soon as
...o '.aimuai Association nas ruled on
the case. These baseball disputes re
quire considerable time to adjust them
selves, but right always triumphs and
Cal Bwlng will find it out before long.
"Mr. Ewing has written me," continued
the Judge, "requesting that I Intervene
and stop the harsh criticisms made here
about him. I shall make no such effort
unless he displays a disposition to ac
knowledge that he is mistaken. Port
land has always obeyed the rules of the
league and we have always helped the
Pacific Coast League whenever the op
portunity is offered. We are not making
this fight simply because we think so
much of Shinn. Not at all. There are
probably many better ball players than
the little fellow, but It la the principle
of the thing with us. Shinn belongs
to us and we have done all that can be
required of us In helping the Coast
League. The trouble with Mr. Ewlng Is
that he Is afraid he has made a mis
take in allowing the Northwest League
to enter Portland, and lacks the Judex
ment to offset this advantage by showing
Portland as much consideration as does
Mr. Lucas and his organization."
Judge McCredie also Intimated that
Pitcher Guyn. who has not yet reported
to Manager Casey, may be delegated to
the Pacific Coast League to help out
Walter McCredie's staff. However, the
president of the Portland teams stated
that this would be contingent fmly In
the event that Casey has a surplus of
good pitchers, which seems to be the
case at present. Judge McCredie antici
pates reat things from Chenault and
Staton. of the Northwestern squad, and
Is also highly pleased at the work of
Ames and Gardner. He says he would
like to make a trip to Medford to see
the boys in action, but will not have time
to do so. Eddie Kinsella is also a fa
vorite with Judge McCredie, who looks
to see him beat out big Gus Thompson,
the man who is being touted as Seattle's
best twlrler.
Editor Encourages Baseball.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene
Or.. April 4. (Special.) L. H. Gregory'
editor of the "Doughnut," the new week
ly at the University, has started base
ball enthusiasm among the students by
the offer of a cup to the club, fraternity
or dormitory that can put out the best
baseball tf am. All the organizations
have entered teams In the race and a
schedule nas been arranged. Saturday
morning, in the first game of the sea
son, the dormitory boys defeated the
Beavers In a :o-tnnlng game by the score
of 8 to 7.
Reliance Placed on Smlthson and
Multnomah Team to Defend
Reputation of Portland ' for
Prowess in Track Meet.
The success of the indoor meet last
night at the Armory makes the prospects
tor the seventh annual track nod oi
meet, to be held at Columbia University
April 17. bright indeed.
The close rivalry existing between Ore
gon Agricultural College and the Uni
versity, of Oregon makes the events In
which both colleges are'eoncerned of par.
tlcular. interest. U. of O. states, it 1.
sending as good or even better a team
than In past years. Some of the teams
that Oregon has put on the track do not
need ramentlon.
Corvallis men are not making any state
ments as to their strength. They are fol
lowing Brer Rabbit's example, and "lay
low and say nufflnk." The asgies are the
.keenest competitors Oregon has ever
had In all branches of athletics, whether
It be on track, field or diamond, and the
season this year has shown no signs of
the old-time rivalry being reduced In the
slightest degree.
Good Records to Beat.
Albany College and Willamette Uni
versity will also be present when the pis
tol cracks. McMlnnvllle has sent in a
strong list of entries. Accompanying the
list Track Manager Black found, a neat
little list of the records made by each of
the men entered. Black was staggered to
find that some of these records were even
better than tTi.c& ...... 1 . .
banner year for athletics at Columbia.
Salem High School will be well repre
sented. Salem track men have as coach
Kirby. who last year drilled the Columbia
men on the track. Kirby also knocked
Into shape the football men at Willamette
and is known n. an i71 J .1
coach. This should mean that the Salem
boys make a good showing in the aca
demic events..
Portland Academy and both Lincoln and
ashington High Schools will put In
strong teams. It is said that both schools
are exhibiting form that has never been
surpassed, and but rarely equaled.
Washington State College will make
one of the strongest showings of any
team in the meet. Pullman says this is
its best season on the track, and while,
as an all-around aggregation it may not
produce the team that Oregon will place
on the line, there may be Individual mem
bers that will more than outshine the lads
rrom Eugene. The Washington "Farm
ers" have recently been making such a
strong showing In all classes of athletics
that it is not known Just how much to
expect from them.
, Idaho Unknown Quantity.
Little is known of the team that will
represent the University of Idaho at the
meet, but It can be conjectured that it
will at least be up to the standard of the
teams sent out in former years. Idaho
has been showing up well In practice, and
if the work exhibited on the home track
Is displayed on the Columbia oval, it will
Qe worthy contestant with Oregon and
Coach Archie Hahn has been developing
some new ideas at his training table and
will bring a team to Portland worked out
on entirely new lines. Hahn says he has
the most evenly balanced bunch, as well
as the fastest, that has ever lef the
home campus at Pacific University.
It is in the work of Multnomah and her
aggregation of stars that the Columbia
men are placing most reliance. It was on
the Columbia track that Smlthson first
made his world-beating records and the
anticipation of a repetition of this will be
one of the strongest drawing' cards the
university has. As a star of stars
Smlthson has to live up to his reputation
as manaerpT of lh. A r i . l . , w . , .

PERFECT SCORE MADE
FRANK HOWE WINS DIAMOND
MEDAL AT SHOOT.
Many Marksmen Compete and Plan.
Are Outlined for Other Meets
This Spring.
The Multnomah Rod and .. r-i ....
held the second of Its weekly shoots
yesterday, and Frank Howe, with a
straight score of 25 breaks .
Inman diamond medal. It was the first
competition for this trophy this sea
son. Howe also led the regular shoot
with a percentage of 88 out of a pos
sible 100 points. Yesterday's shoot was
.n.iucu ij in marxsmen and several
Booa scores were made Indicating ex
cellent contests when the big compe
titlons planned take place.
The club is arranging to hold a Mo-
shooting tournament here during the
Rose Festival, at which time all of the
crack marksmen of the Pacific North
west will be In attendance, and pos
sibly some of the Eastern cracks as
well.. For the purpose of developing
new materal the club will soon install
one set of trans for beginners, and
these will be In charge of an expert
who will coach the new shooters in
breaking clay pigeons at the different
angles. This innovation will be In
stalled because many hunters who'are
members of the club have no idea of
trap shooting.
Next Sunday morning the marksmen
will compete for two new trophies.
One Is a handsome cup tendered by the
Dupont Company, while the other Is a
similar trophy given by the Selby
Company. Both trophy shoots will be
handicap affairs, and the marksman
winning either three times straight
will become its permanent possessor.
The new grounds of the club are
reached by the Oregon Electric Rail
way in 20 minutes' ride. The scores at
yesterday's shoot were as follows:
