SAYS FANS WERE ABUSIVE He Laughs at Encounter Now, Al though It Was Serious Enough at the Time It Hap. pened. Phil Cooney, the doughty little short stop of the Portland Northwestern League team, who was embroiled in the wrangle at Medford Friday after noon, arrived in Portland at midnight Saturday. Phil regres the occurrence, but defends himself by contending that the particular fans with whom he en gaged in the fight had enjoyed nag ging lira unmercifully and before the game was over they became so abusive that he retaliated in kind and several or them Jumped the fence and came on the field. Phil m .i belligerents and struck him In tk face. Cooney and the fellow were sep arated, but a partner of the fan came up in Cooney's rear and attemDted to let the little shortstop come in con tact with a "bunch of fives," but John Garibaldi, the Portland center fielder, saw the fellow's action and sent him to the turf with a resounding crack on the jaw. Mullin grabbed Cooney about the waist arid by main strength carried the little fellow from the scene of the melee and. laying him on the ground, sat on him until he had cooled off suf ficiently to be reasonable. Phil also states that the friends of the Maydr and other fans mixed in the row threatened to tar and feather him. Phil says that when this remark was overheard by Bassey. Casey, Garibaldi Mullin or Dud Risley. those making -no uireai were roundly roasted the ball players. by Cooney Tells His Story. Cooney's story of the affair, while he now sees it from the comic side and laughs while relating It, shows the mixup was quite serious when it hap pened. His story runs as follows: "1 met many splendid fellows at Med ford during my stay there, and the cropping out of this row was not my fault, except" that I probably should not have paid any attention to Krum. or whatever his name is, ' when he came out on the rteia. The whole thing started with a kid, whom I am told was the son of the Mayor of the iio oeemea to nave taken a dislike to me and who called me all! me vne names he could think of in addition to the usual fan hoots. These latter never bother me at all, but I don't like anyone to call me vile names or to get personal as far as religion r nationality is concerned. "This kid called me everything he could think of, and after about eight innings of it I walked up to him and told him to shut up or I would get him. He was sitting at the end of the grandstand near the bleachers, and some of these bleacherites heard me ell the kid what I thought of him and perhaps had not heard him addressing me. At any rate they told me to take som'xme my size, and I re sented their interference by calling to them to come on the field. By this time I was so mad that I would not stop for anybody, and when this fel low came on the field I took a punch at him. If I wanted to be real rowdv about it I could have seized a bat and caved somebody's nut, but I had sense enough not to want to Injure anyone permanently. r Shortstop In Fighting Mood. "Sill I wanted to fight, and it took Casey and Bassey to hold me after I had hit this chap the first time. While I was being held he tried to punch my face, but Garibaldi put one over on him that caused him to sit up and take notice. Garry followed it up with a couple more and then Mullin pushed through the crowd and picked me up and carried me away from the fight. Gee, that big kid is strong. He handled me like a sack of flour and then threw me on the ground and sat on me until I promised I'd be good. In the meantime Casey and the bunch quieted the mob and we resumed the game by finishing out the last inning. "After we had dressed at the club house Bill MacRae oame rushing in and said they were going to have me lynched or mobbed, or something like that, and hustled me into an auto mobile and shipped me off for Central Point, where I was to remain until the excitement died down. One of the would-be sports in the crowd spotted me in the machine and tipped it off to tne police that I was fleeing, and also gave the direction. The story of this flight in the Medford paper reads line a dime novel or an ad. for a two cylinder runabout, but if I really wanted to get away I could have escaped all right, for the machine I was in could beat the other one to death any time. The Chief of Police or that burg is a hot one. He is as big as a house and when he came up to the auto I was In on the road he whips out a 'gat' as long as your arm and shouts 'Trow up yer hands.' I tossed em up all right, for that can non sure looked awful big. "Then this 'wise guy' cop shouts. 'Don't you run, -now, or I'll have to shoot you. The boob must have been nuts, for there wasn t any chance of me running with a -gay like that hold ing a cannon, and 1 wan satisfied to sit stilt enough, for fear he might shoot anyhow. As soon as he produced his. Warrant I told him I would go back with him without any trouble, and rorthw-itli Hopped Into his machine. When I did that he was scared almost to death, for he thought I was coming at him. Cooney Pays His Respects. "Gee. but he would make a fine Broadway cop. He's so awkward he steps on his own feet, and that's the reason he chases people In automo biles. I got it on him, though. When the Recorder soaked me $15 as a fine the Chief wanted him to assess costs, too, but the Recorder said nothing doing and the wise guy copper will have to pay the auto bill himself. "When I was dismissed from the court I walked through the streets over to the hotel without being bothered. Any guy who leaves the bleachers to mix it with a ball player wouldn't last one second when the scrap starts. These fellows who want to beat up ball players and umpires on the field, but who are too cowardly to face them off the field, -are a lot of dubs. I dou't care how big they are. I have 'never seen one yet that I was afraid of. A good man never goes gunning for trouble.

When the scores of vos- terday's games were chalked un on the various scoreboards the fans could jiot re alize that the figures were true. Could it be possible that McCredle has a team which won the first double-header vic tory of the season, and also took five successive games from "Pop" Van Hal tren's crew, and on the Oaks' home lot at that? The news caused smiles of delight, and it is probably weU for some that It was Sunday, with its more or less well-spiked lid, otherwise some of the fans might have been tempted to cele brate. The week's victories, together with the fact that McCredie's braves open the sea son here with the league leaders, means that, providing the weather is fair, to morrow afternoon will see the largest opening day crowd ever out in Portland or at any other Pacific Coast League city.

MEDFOBO WINS 4-3 Fans, 1500 Strong, Go Wild With Joy When Game Ends. PITCHER GUYN MAKES GOOD Goes In for Plnnance When Latter Is Touched Vp Lively Casey Plays at Second for Locals. Fans Regret to Say Good-by. BY WILL G. MAC KAE. MEDFORD. Or., April 11. (Special.) Manager Casey scrambled his recruits hers this afternoon, and playing second base for Medford, his team defeated the regulars by the close score of 4 to 3. The perfect Spring day brought out 1500 people to the ball grounds, and tonight the fans of this busy town are in a happy frame of mind, for the victory goes to Medford and the game was about the best ever played on the grounds. With Chief Plnnance pitching, Casey at sec ond, Bassey in left and Harrwan at first, the fans began pulling hard for this aggregation to win, and there was much noise when the trick was finally turned. Chinault. Carnes and Ames operated for the regulars, but the star work of the Sabtath matinee was performed by Guyn. This was Guyn's first workout and the McCredies have made no mis take in grabbing this box artist. While Plnnance was working the regulars found him for three singles and one -double. He fanned three men. Guyn allowed only two singles: The first three men that faced him in the siwh went down in a row. In the etehth Guyn ozoned all three of the batters. He added three more strikeouts to his scalp belt before the end of the fun. The regulars slipped the first run over in the opening canto. With Rleley in pickle, Garry walked and he went to Becond on Mullen's out. Swanton singled and Staton shoved the run over wtth a two-bagger over left field fence. With out the semblance of a bingle, Medford romped home with two runs in the third, due to a pass to Plnnance and an infield fumble. In the fourth Portland tied the score. Swantoa singled and so did Staton. Both pulled off a double steal and Swanton scored on a pretty squeeze play. Pin nance singled in the fourth, stole sec ond and scored on Casey's single. In the fifth, Medford scored one run on Troeh's bum heave. Guyn fanned Bunstine, who took Swanton's place in the sixth, and Staton came through with another two bagger. Troeh walked and Shorty Miles, one of the Medford players, who took v-asey s place at second for the regulars. aniKieu. scoring Htaton. During the game Antle roused the crowd with a sensational catch in left. Garry pulled off a great one-handed catch and Casey pulled a yelp when he nailed Mullen after the ball had caromed off Pinnance's bunion. The pitching of Chinault, Carnes and Ames was high class all through. This is the last game here and in spite of the Cooney trouble there is a general feeling of regret here that Casey and his crew are leaving. Score: R-H.E-I R.H.E.

BOUT Coffroth Arranging for Fight in Bay City in October Jeffries Thinking Yet. SAN FRANCISCO, April 11. (Spe cial.) According to a telegram re ceived tonight from Jim Coffroth, the fight promoter, who is now in New York, the chances are good for a Ketchel-Jack Johnson match to take place in San Francisco in October at the time of the Portolo celebration. Coffroth says in his message: "Jim Jeffries says he will soon make known his intentions. In case he de cides to re-enter the ring, he will not be ready for eight or ten months. John son is willing to fight Jeffries now, but has agreed to meet .Ketchel in San Francisco in October, during Portola week. Think I will be able to arrange all the details Monday." This is the first definite news as to the future movements of the heavy weights, and from what Coffroth says it looks as if the first appearance of Jack Johnson since he won the championship will be at the Mission-street arena. Coffroth says that Ketchel is crazy to get a chance at Johnson, and thinks he has a chance to beat him. It is the concensus of opinion, from the tenor of Coffroth's statement, that the pros pects of Jeffries re-entering the ring are anything but bright. Bebnke-Walker Team Wins. VANCOUVER, Wash..
