ing spirit of the Tacoma Tigers of

ago. Graham has gathered together a
fast bunch of players, most of whom
are youngsters, while here and there an
old head is found who serves to hold
the gingery lads down to an even
style of play. Graham has an excep
tionally good pitching staff. The Sac
ramento club is also playing Jimmy
Shlnn, the clever young player who be
longs to Portland, but who Is helping
boost the percentage of the rival team
because of an arbitrary ruling on the
part of J. Cal Kwing. president of the
Pacific Coast League. President Bwlng
will also be In Portland today for the
purpose of assisting in the opening
ceremonies, and as president of the
league he will be welcomed gladly.

BT WILL O. MAC RAH
RLDHLK. Or.. April li-(Stpeclal.-There
was a great reunion of ballplayers
on board the Southern Pacific train this
afternoon when Casey's Colts, number
ing , met the Portland White Sox and
the Sacramento team. All told, there are
r-odd baseball-players on their way to
rortlsnd. not including Cal Bwlng. presl-
vrn,L.KthB C'lst L"u. n1 Umpire
McCarthy. All the players will take part
J. " rnlnS o' the season tomorrow.
V I J " ,em are in a happy frame
", ? anrt a11 ar' lad to e"nt home.
Taking live stralgrht games from Oak
land was going some, and It must have
made the Kan Francisco baseball scribes
wish tney had not poked fun at the Port
landers because they lost the first two
mines. Manager McCredle is bringing
his team home with every man in the
pink of condition. Jess Garrett will pitch
the opening game, and the little Texas
epltball t wirier fee la confident of winning
"1 hope we have fine weather for the
opening of the season." said President
Lwlng for I know the Portland fans
must be crazy to welcome McCredle's
team, after their whirlwind California in
vasion. The newspapers have had a lot
to say about the W-.inn and Olson mat
ters but 1 feel confident when Judge
Mot. redle and I get together and talk
over the matter, the whole thing will be
settled.
"The umpire tonight had not made a
report on the Olson trouble. I think If
there ha.T been any deliberate attempt
upon the part of Olson to Injure a Los
Angeles player that Toman would have
put him out of the game at once The
fact that he did not. and has made no
report to me. Indicates to me there Is a
word to be said In Olson's favor and at
no time did I consider suspension of
Olson."

Team Leads Chicagoan to Pro

Head Place for Season.
CHICAGO. April J2.-B!lly Sullivan. It
was officially announced today is the
new manager of the Chicago American
League team. Sullivan is a catcher and
succeeds Fielder Jones as head of the
team.
President Comiskey wrJted until the
last mor.ient, hoping Jones would recon
sider his determination to retire from
baseball in favor of business in the Pa
cific Northwest. Sullivan acted as man
ager of the club on Its training trip
Comiskey. having failed to tempt Jones
by the offer of a salary said to be
greater than that received by any mem
ber or President Taffs Cabinet, smiling
ly announced today that the choice had
been made. Sullivan is regarded as one
of the best catchers In any league.
"Sullivan will lead us to another pen
nant," said the owner of the club "He
has every thing that a ballplayer needs
and he Is popular with the players."
The salary which goes with the posi
tion was not made public.
Jones' Final Refusal.
Fielder Jones wrote to President Com
iskey a few days ago his final refusal
to play baseball this year.
"I thought there might be a chance for
Jones to return to the team," said Com
iskey today, "but when I received his
final word I went to Cincinnati and noti
fied Sullivan that he would be my mana
ger thlB year. Sull van's strong right arm
Is a great quallcation and next to that
is his good brain. Sullivan has baseball
brains. I would like to have Jones come
back, but that Is impossible. Sullivan
will be a great manager and he has a
great team to manage."
President Comiskey announced further
that Cravatb, one of the new recruits,
would eucceed Fielder Jones In center
field. Sullivan Has Record.
Blly Sullivan has been the star catcher
for the team since 1901. He was purchased
by Comiskey from the Boston National
League team. Boston got him from Col
umbus. Ohio. He began his baseball ca
reer at Dubuque, Iowa. Sullivan has been
regarded generally by baseball experts
as one of the greatest backstops in the
business.
Last year he led the American League
catchers with a fielding average of .985
In his batting, however, he fell short of
his previous records. His average for
the season was only .191. He has, how
ever, always been relied upon as a pinch
hitter.

What the Amateur Ball
Teams Are Doing
THE Hudson Arms Company team
defeated the Portland Brownies
Saturday in a close and exciting game
by the score of 4 to 2. The game was
played, at the Twenty-fifth and Raleigh
streets grounds, and was witnessed by
a large crowd, which gathered to see
the youngsters play the National game.
Staten, the young pitcher of the Hud
son team, made quite a showing by
striking out 14 of his opponents. The
Brownies used two pitchers, Hummell
and Shaw, and both did well.
s
The Oswego Athletes defeated the
Hop Golds, of Portland, in a fast and
snappy game at Oswego Sunday. The
score was 4 to 1, and the result was
duo to the better playing of the Oswego
boys. Klser, who pitched for the win
ning team, allowed only three hits,
and was backed up by good support.
The Oswego team desires games with
amateur teams for Sundays, and all
those desiring such contests are asked
to address D. B. Fox, Oswego, Or.
s
Owing to the delayed arrival of uni
forms, the baseball team of the Port
land Police Department did not play
their opening game ot the season Sun
day as expected. The knights of law
and order were bashful about going on
the diamond in the police uniforms, and
so called off their game until their
neat suits ordered recently are ready.
Dllworth's Derbies won their second
game of the season Sunday by winning
from Beaverton, 9 to 6. Engelke was
put In the box to start the game, but
on account of a badly wrenched arm
was obliged to retire after the second
inning. It was in these two innings
that Beaverton ran in their scores.
"Doc" Strelt was then put in and held
the Beavers down. Taylor did the slab
work for Beaverton and pitched a very
good game, but had very poor support.
The batteries were: Dllworth's. Eng
