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.

SEATTLE. Wash.. 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.

held on. To trot over to first and com

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.
Guyn has one of the best slow balls
seen in Seattle islnce the days of Ham
Iberg.

of scoring. Brunner and Rogers, of Ver
non, also made a good double play. Hop
fer. Shaver's shortstop, was back In the

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.
