SpecIal.) McCredie's hopefuls seemed to come out of their trance' of the day before and played gtit.-edged ball against the hired- men of- ComiKkey, though neither team was able to score In nine Innings. Portland outhlt and outplayed the Sox, but was unable to get a man past third base, though on two Occasions they had runs knocking at the door. once and Tlnddv Pvnr Tr-1 1 An-myy rr I the other occasion. Some sensational ontfleld work by Barrows, of the Sox, also served to hold down the score. Vtc Holm, formerly with the Spo kane Northwestern League Club, start ed to pitch for Chicago and was lucky In having good support, for fine field ing Is all that prevented Portland from scoring in the first and fourth innings. Freddie Parent in center field also pulled down some line hits and long flies, which robbed the Portland play ers of bingles, as well as possible runs. Stcen and Krapp Pitch Pine Ball. McOedle brought only enough men to play the game and pitchers Will lam Steen and Eugene Krapp pitched splendid ball and had no difficulty In shutting out the Sox. Steen al lowed three hits in five innings and Krapp was found for one safety In the last four innings. Portland's best chance to score was In the fifth inning. Armbruster led off with a clen hit to left and stole sec ond immediately. Steen fanned and Charley Mullin speared Casey's drive and came near doubling Armbruster at second. Holm lost control and walked both Perrine and. Ryan, but Manager McCredie was not equal to the occasion, for Lee' Tannehill tossed his grounder to first base yards ahead of the tall manager. George Ort opened the fourth inning with a two-base smash to the left field walL and only fast fielding by Barrows prevented it being good for three bases. Joseph 'Smith followed with a drive which looked like a homer, for the ball seemed ticketed for the center field pasture, which is a thousand or more feet long, but Parent made one of the prettiest running catches ever teen in a ball game and another" Port land chance went glimmering. Casey Again Bright Star. Casey again carried off the batting honors for the day. He rapped out three clean hits, while Barrows, the Box batting demon, only annexed two. "Doc" White pitched the last four in nings for the White Sox and Casey was the only Portlander to get on the sacks and he landed there by virtue of his third hit of the game. Jess Harrington and Charley Baren stecher, both of Portland, came down from Paso Robles to see the game to day and were numbered among the rooters for McCredie . and the Port land team. The attendance here was about half that at Santa Maria yes terday. The Portland team leaves Santa Ma ria tomorrow for San Jose, where a series of four -games will be played with the State League. Club commenc ing Thursday. McCredie has received an offer from Chicago to allow him the use of Southpaw Schmirler during the coming season, and Mac may. take an option on the player until a certain date. He wants to try out all his present staff before engaging new pitchers. How the Teams Played Ball. CHICAGO. lad from Blaine, Wash., possesses only one ""weakness, and ' that is in batting. Ag a fielding third baseman he has no equal on the Coast, and all of the Port land players would regret to see him leave the club, as he is one of the most popular members. McCredie thinks Smith might pick up in batting, and intends to hold hlra for awhile anyway. Netzel is too fast to play third base. At least' that is the verdict McCTedle parsed on him after seeing -him workout several days, and the -tall manager an nounces that Ivan Olson will be the regular third seeker of the club, while Netzel will play outfield, and utility roles, which means that McCredie may dispose of George Ort. Ort is a favorite not only with the manager but also with .the Port land fans, and. this may be a wrong guess1, but -with players" like Rapps, Casey, Per rine,' Olson and Netzel on hand, it appears ridiculous to believe that McCredie will carry six inflelders, especially when he has;' a pitcher like Guyn who can fill in anywhere. Then there is Billy Steen, an other pitcher who can hold down" infield positions, and Charley Hartman, twho is really a better first baseman and outfielder than a good many players who .have got away with their work in the .Pacific Coast League in the last few years. ,- The work of Catchers Armbruster and Murray, will make it difficult for Manager McCredie to decide on which of them he will retain "as second catcher to Gus Fisher, who will undoubtedly be- the first ROAD WINS CASE P.

TEAM IS READY FOR WORK McCredie Will Have .Difficulty in Weeding Out Excess Players. SAN LUIS OBISPO. Cal.. March 15. fSpecial.) McCredie's Pacific " Coast Leaguers are now on "the road for a series of preliminary games which will serve to get the players into first-class form to open the season against San Francisco March 30. Four games are to be played with San Jose, one each at Modesto and Ma dera, and then four more games at Fresno with the California State League Club, of that city. This will fill all the dates up to March 28. when the team reaches San Francisco, and Dn that day Manager McCredie has arranged to play the Olympic Club team In an exhibition game. With the exception of Olson, who had just reported, and Speas, who ar rived Saturday, all of the players left Santa Maria in great shape to begin the season. Even Netzel, who was spiked in Saturday's game between the Irish and the Dutch, was handled so carefully and cleverly by Doc1- Cornell that he was lame for only one day after the accident, and got into the game gainst the .White Sox in a gingery Tashlon- Manager McCredie has become so smit ten with the sensational fielding of Joe Smith that he may not turn him back to the Enid Club of the Western Association after all.

A. A. C. gymnasium. This will be the last interclub event of the year for the local organization. . The programme for the meet will in clude eight matches, two wrestling and two boxing interclub matches, and four preliminary boxing bouts between local athletes. The programme for the meet will be: 105-pound boxing McCarl. Multno- 115-pound boxing J. Cassidy, of Multnomah, vs. L. McCoy or A. Rourke, of Spokane. 158-pound wrestling Duff, of Multnomah, vs. Gesek, of Spokane. 135-pound wrestling Franske, of Multnomah, vs. Breslin, of Spokane. 105-pound boxing Powers (unattached) vs. Leonard (unattached). 105-pound boxing Hewitt, of Multnomah, vs. Fricke, of the Catholic Club. 130-pound boxing Adams, of Multnomah, vs. Graham, of Multnomah. A fourth preliminary fight for 135-pound boxers is being arranged. catcher of the club. Fisher has no su perior in the catching department on the Pacific Coast, and for either Murray or Armbruster to beat him out of the regular berth would be a great surprise. Murray seems like a different player this season. He is gingery, and full of life. Last year he seemed afflicted with an indifferent spirit, but thia season he is the hardest worker of the bunch with the possible exception of Armburster. Big Bill Chenault will be sent to the Vancouver Olub, of the Northwestern League, unless he shows ' marked im provement in his work. Chenault is an unlucky pitcher, though- most of this is due to his own poor fielding when op posing players are on the bases. Max Hall will' likely be turned back to the Springfield Club, for he seems too lazy to uit the Portland manager. "How does he expect me to get a line "on him unless he cuts loose?" remarked the man ager the other day, and Hall continuea to take things easy.

With an advantage of not over three lengths, Mrs. George Kadderly won the 50-yard race by members of the Multno mah Club women's swimming class yes terday forenoon in the club tank. The contest was the most exciting event held at the club for some time and was witnessed by 100 of the faU- sex. There were eight participants in the race.

It is difficult to see where either of these, boys will have any advantage over the other, and unless one gets busy with a knockout blow it will not be surprising if the bout ends In a draw.- Carroll has a little the best of the proposition on weight at present but that will make no material difference by the time of the Aght.

In the runabout type Model G, now in its fifth year, stands distinguished in a market flooded with so-called cheap runabouts. Model G is not made to ' sell at a low price; it is made for service. . Having all the well-known Franklin principles, it is light and flexible and has no equal for comfort, reliability and endurance. Model G has ample power for all roads.
