Bases on balls Off Koestner, 3; off Carson. 1. Two-base hit Johnson. Home run Breen. BT W. J. PETRAIN. Pitcher Al Carson, had the Los Ang-eles players completely at hie mercy yester day afternoon, and the opening contest of -what appears likely to be a riotous series, was recorded in the win column for the home team by the score of 8 to 0. Carson was only In danger once during the game, and this was In the third inning when the visitors filled the sacks, but the former Tacoman rallied cleverly and re tired the side on easy chances. On the other hand, the Portland bats men found Koestner, the no-hit-no-run pitcher of last week, at the most oppor tune intervals, for the few hits acquired by McCredie's bunch came Just when they were most needed, and enough runs were registered to win two games. Judson Smith, the ancient third-sacker of the Loi Angeles team, interjected a piece of dirty baseball Into the sixth Inning wnlch. In view of the already strained relationship between the two clubs, will not help to keep the rest of the week free from brawls. The members of the Los Angeles team who are getting too old to play with youngsters like Olson, have it in for the little Portland shortstop end are trying to injure him in order to even up the spiking of Dillon at Los Angeles. Smith Trips Up Olson. "While Olson was rounding third base on a play In tne sixth Inning, Smith muffed Delmas' throw to catch the run ner, and the Los Angeles third sacker, who is not any too popular, deliberately tripped Olson and sent him headlong into the grass. Olson recovered and was al lowed to score because Umpire Jack McCarthy was on the Job and saw Smith's plan. The trouble with Smith and Wheeler, the) two men who are after Olson, Is that they are getting too old to move fast enough to get out of the youngster's way, and it was the same way with Dll lon when he was spiked at Los Angeles. This has been positively demonstrated, for Dillon was spiked again last week at San Francisco, and is out of the game at present on account of this latter in jury, and not because' of the accident in which Olson figured at Los Angeles. ank Dillon is a good baseball man, but lie shows poor Judgment when he allows players of the notorious baiting qualities of Smith and Wheeler to pull off dirty stunts such as marred yesterday's game. The Los Angeles club is composed of some fine material and can win games without resorting to dirty tactics, and it would have been an excellent lesson to that club if Umpire McCarthy had fired Smith out of the game. In Portland, at least, we want clean baseball, and we're sroing to have it if Cal Bwing's umpires will do their duty. Carson star of Game. Of the game itself the principal feature was the great pitching of AL Carson. He is charged with allowing four hits, though half this number Is more than the visitors really got. Strict adherence to scoring rules exempts Olson from an error, but he was plainly at fault on Koestner' s chance in the eighth which he allowed to play him Instead of playing the ball However, even though the generous scorer ladles out bunches of hits, Carson pitched a game of baseball which stamps him as a most reliable man.- On his first appearance here last week. Carson failed to do himself justice because he split a finger In the first inning and was handicapped. Portland started scoring in the sec ond Inning. Johnson, the first man up, wanted. Dick Breen came through with a safe hit, which became a fluke homerun when nntn ni.t.. j . . . ...... imojuugeu tne bound, the ball sailing over his head to acoreooara. and both Johnson an '--" registered. Three runs were aaaea to this in the sixth. Olso wanted and went to second on Ort sacruice. McCredie hit a sharp one xeimas. who hwur v,t--j , . Olson, but Smith muffed the toss, and then pulled off his rowdy stunt of tripping the Portland shortstop. Mc Carthy sent him across the plate though, while McCredie took second before the ball was recovered. Johnson singled to right, and a fielder's choice scored the big manager, while Johnson took third. Orendorf then had a passed ball, which allowed Johnson to make the total of three runs for the inning. Angels Play Horse. The Los Angeles team was never in danger of scoring after the second inning, and in the eighth it played horse, allowing Portland to score an other trio of runs. With two men out McCredie walked. Johnson followed this with a two-bagger to left on which McCredie scored. Godwin muffed Breen's drive and then threw the ball away, and Kennedy came through with a Texas leaguer which brought in the third run of the Inning, making Port land's crop of runs eight for the game. The Angels went out in one-two-three order in their half of the ninth, and the game was over. McCredie and his bunch held a Joyous reunion in the clubhouse when they were informed of Casey's victory at Seattle. Harkness or Garrett will pitch for Portland today, while Waiter Nagle will probably be delegated by "Cap Dillon to fling for the visitors. The score of the game Is as follows LOS ANUELES, A.B. R. H.

Anrll 20 rano. clal.) Things were decidedly askew in me nrst lew moments of the bat tle this afternoon. Seattle's bold war riors fell all over themselves, Casey's .ii But. in a tew good pokes, and the umpire got badly tangled up. The score, five to one in favor of Portland, conveys no idea of the in tensity with which one fought to hold the lead and the other to overcome It. A bit of an error on two or three oc casions would have put an entirely different compexion on the contest. Portland's good luck in the fourth was Seattle's downfall. Raymon had led off with a hit, stole second and scored on Benett's timely drive. This was the first opening the boys had got on Pitcher Guyn, and they were trying- to make the most of it, as It was the time to get into the game. Lynch drew a pass, and in his glee poked Jerry Sheehan, the catcher, playfully on his chest protector. He caught Jerry exactly on the solar plexus and it almost put him out. Frisk gave Casey a hard grounder, which he fum bled. This filled the bases, with one out. Capron having given up the ghost on a long fly to center. The Infield was Well drawn In AnH finhnlflaM 144- those scraggly flies that looked safe. .To all appearances the ball was going to fall Just back of first over Mulllns" head.

This wiped Seattle off the map and killed the one best bet. There was not a moment, however, that Seattle was not after Portland, and in return Portland was always on the verge of scoring more runs, but could not quite connect. ' There was some things about the game that were out of the ordinary but before passing them, credit must be given Mr. Guyn for his clever work In the box. Casey's fielding was superb. Staton made one nice pick-up and Guyn got an assist on Akin that was a wonder. Portland will probably use Kinsella to morrow afternoon. 'Jerry Sheehan is catching good ball for Portland.

CHEERS FOR "BIG FELLOW" Jeffries and Declares Johnson Must First Defeat Ketchel, and Sa j-a He Wants Fight in America, With Xo Ijlmit. NEW YORK, April 20. "I will fight Mr. Jack Johnson. I will defend my title as undefeated heavyweight cham pion of the world." Before an audience that packed the American Music Hall, in which there were as many many women as men. James J. JefTries1 made this formal an nouncement tonight. It was the signal for great joy. Bxcited men leaped from their seats, shouted and cheered, and the women applauded. Their shrill and ex cited cries of approval as they stood up and waved their handkerchiefs and even their peach-basket hats, to the ponderous, bowing and blushing "undefeated cham pion," -added plcturesqueness to the scene. In the streets were hundreds of per sons who could not get into the theater, although high premiums were offered for seats. Early in the day Jeffries and the police had to clear a way for him to his automobile, or he might have been captured and borne off by his admirers Calla for Statement. After his sparring exhibition with Sam Berger. the audience shouted for Jeffries to come out and make the statement he had promised. The "big fellow" soon appeared, his dressing-gown only reveal ing his shaggy head and great red fists. The house went wild literally and Jeffries stood near the footlights, bowing and raising his hands for order. After sev eral minutes the audience became rea sonably quiet and Jeffries began: "Toadies and gentlemen "Cut that out, Jeff, come to the point," cried a voice in the gallery. "I thank you from the bottom of my heart " "Never mind that. Are you going to tight?" came another voice. "I suposo you want to hear some thing else," continued Jeffries, only smiling at the interruption. "You bet we do," yelled dozens. Says He Will Fight. "Well, I am satisfied after about seven weeks' work " "Quit your kidding," came another Interruption. " That I can get in just as good condition as I ever was, and I will fight Mr. Jack Johnson." If Jeffries had had anything more to say he could not have been heard. He ran off the stage while the auditorium became a bedlam of noise and cheers. There are several conditions at tached to- Jeffries' re-entry Into the prize ring. First: Johnson must defeat Ketohel. Then Jeffries cannot sign articles pos sibly for 10 months and he Insists that the fight shall take place in this coun try and that It shall be unlimited as to rounds. He made these condtlons known oral ly to the New York papers when he handed out the following written state ment: Feels In Fine Trim. "I will say that I never felt better. I have held off making the announce ment until I became sure that I was absolutely the same Jeffries as when I retired four years ago. I did so then after defeating every possible contend er for the title. There was no one left for me to meet. "The present heavyweight situation is the only thing that could have brought me from retirement. I have all the money I will need, and there is no mone tary consideration that could tempt me into the ring if I was not sure that I could easily defeat any challenger for the championship. "As for Mr. Johnson, the tactics which he has employed, presumably to attempt to force a match, have been such that I felt that I would only lower myself by replying until I felt I was prepared to say that I would fight. "At the expiration of my contract with William Morris, which positively forbids my signing any contract, pugilistic or otherwise. I will be ready to discuss terms for an unlimited round contest. "All I will ask after that is sufficient time to thoroughly condition mvself. and should Mr. Johnson care to challenge me for the title, t will do what I think I owe to the public, that is. to defend my title of undefeated champion of the world " Simple things and simple ways are best. The simplest way to care for one's complex ion is to use Ivory Soap and clean water. Bathe the face for nearly or quite five min utes in hot water. Rinse with cold water. That is all but it is enough.
