U HACRAMKNTO, Cal., April 15. (Spe
clal.) All that MeCredie needs to do
Athene days Is to take his crowd of ball
players out to Recreation Park, prance
round a little .while and come home
with his league percentage a little higher.
Today Portland took the game from Sac
Jjamento by a score of 6 to 1, making
Your straight.
1 Steen, the hard-luck boy, was all "to
ulthe clever" today. Three out of the four
Jlilts Sacramento batsmen made off him
"were two-baggers, but that didn't count
"anything alongside of the 11 hits netted
Jaoff Spider 'Baum. whose goat Is usually
with Portland when he. faces that team.
i
J Classy Ball at First.
2 The first few Innings loomed up like
treal classy ball playing. b'ut the hits
JVcame along in rapid succession in , the
tfourth, with Sacramento chasing around
'Hhe diamond like so many excited kids.
taOlson. Rapp and McCredle soaked out
jingles In a row. La Longe had Olson
pat the plaite, but dropped the ball,
yisher's long double to right brought
Lover the other two.
i- In the fifth inning Netzel knocked a
Jjong triple between center and left and
came' in when Olson lined one down to
Jl-sft. Raymer erred In the eighth on a
tihard grounder from Ryan. Fisher came
through with his second double for the
fctlay. Speas went by the board, but
"Ort'a ' pass loaded the bases. -
Steen' s swift grounder passed between
Derringer's legs and by the time Perry
completed a juggling act two runs had
arrived. The disgrace of a shutout was
saved by CBrlggs' slamming a long one
to the right-field fence stretching It to
third on Netzel's error, and scoring on
Danzig's ; sacrifice fly.
(The score:

. NEW YORK. April 15. John Schorr's
uretna Green, carrying the hoodoo num
ber 13, In a race of 13 starters, romped
tiome an easy winner today in the 15th
Tunning of the Carter handicap, beating
'James E. Oaffney's Alfred Noble by
nearly two lengths. M. L. Schwartz' Far
tWest was third.
.The, race marked the opening of the
iraclng season In -the East. but. contrary
to expectations, it was attended by a'
jnucn smaller crowa xnan -nas gracea
similar occasions In the past. The blight
jthat has fallen on racing since the enact
ment of the anti-betting laws has "kept
tettors and non-bettors alike away from
the track. Nevertheless there" was a
fprlnkjing of bookmakers today and they
again took refuge in the subterfuge hit
upon last year of making and recording
wagers by nod.
The concourse In front of the grand
stand vas filled with familiar faces, and.
although money did not actually change
hands, betting activity was evident on all
sides.
On Gretna Green most of these gave 15
to 1 and some as high as 20 to 1. The
play on Jack Atkin varied from 4 to 5 to
7 to 5. Tbe weather was Ideal and
helped to bring out a large crowd.
Yale Freshman Tackle Injured.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 15. The

It was announced from Tale football
headquarters today that Joseph B. Mc
Cullough, a 200-pound freshman tackle,

the result of a severe Injury to his
knee which he sustained yesterday
while playing under the new rules. Mc

an on-slde kick and received his In

work of his present training session.
The afternoon's work Included boxing,
rope-skipping, shadow-boxing, bagpunch
ing and half an hour at the pulley
weights. A handball game with Berger
followed. '
In the second round of the boxing bout
with Bob Armstrong, Jeffries rather
showed the handful of spectators that he
was speedy as of old. Armstrong landed
a rather Btlff punch on Jeff's chin. For
a moment it appeared ' that the colored
heavyweight had dazed the champion,
but It developed a few seconds later that
a muscular cramp in the back of the
neck had caught the big boxer so sud
denly that he could not continue until
the masseurs had rubbed the affliction
away. The sparring was resumed, but
Jeffries did not thoroughly rid himself of
the cramp until well Into the third round.
Armstrong Runs Like Rabbit.
Berger gave Armstrong Instructions
to send his punches in as hard as he
could and, obeying orders, he landed
Borne smashing blows on his big ad
versary. When Jeffries came back for
vengeance, however, the black refused
to stand his ground, and ran like a
frightened rabbit. He was just about
able to go through the three rounds by
dint of an extremely conservative at
titude in the matter of again mixing It
with the big fellow. Jeffries worked a
trifle faster today, but is handicapped
because of having - to keep the full
power of his punches up his sleeve.
Jeffries did not regard the cramp
seriously. "I turned my head suddenly
last Friday while boxing with Arm
strong," he said, "and the cramp hit me
then. The boys will rub It out in a
few days and It won't bother me
again."
Jeff's Wind Is Good.
The fighter's wind was remarkably
good after his work-out, which lasted
an hour and three-quarters in all. The
morning's exercise- included a ten-mile
drill on the road and a row on the
river.
A dozen telegrams from all over the
country reached the training camp dur
ing the day, all conveying good wishes
to the fighter on his birthday. ,
Manager Sam Berger will leave for
Salinas tomorrow. He will referee a
fight there.

PLAYA DEL REY, Cal., April 15.
Two American speedway records were
broken on the motordrome here this
afternoon. The crowd also was thrilled
by two mishaps, which barely escaped
being serious.
In the ten-mile free-for-all. "when

The car was going 80 miles an hour.
The tire rolled along the upper rim of
the pie-pan for 200 feet and then leaped
the outer fence, bounding 50 feet in the
air. The car swerved to the side and
it was with difficulty that Kerscher
brought the machine to a stop without
an accident. Bragg was following
closely In a Fiat, and missed the roll
lng tire by only a few Inches.

The other near-accident was in the
50-mile race. In the second mile the
Bulck, driven by Nlkrent, broke a steer
ing knuckle and slid off the track.
Nlkrent slammed on all the brakes and
the car was stopped right side up
The pitch of the track prevented a
bad accident, as It caused the car to
slide towards the inside instead of
shooting through the fence, as would
have occurred on a dirt track.

Sporting; Topics
yrIG SrX" BILL STEEN came
D through with a victory after hav
ing made four' false starts out of which
he got two draws. His fifth essay
brought the big fellow out on top and
at the expense of poor old Sacramento.
Steen was due. however, and any club
might have suffered similarly.
The Seals made a garrison finish In
yesterday's game with the Hooligans and
won out with a strong batting rally in
the latter part of the game. The Hooli
gans looked like sure winners for a time,
for the Longites managed to get busy
enough to cop a victory.
Young Gregg warmed up most beauti
fully yesterday' afternoon, and Tommy
Murray, who handled his slants at the
Vaughn-street lot, says the Spokane
southpaw will cut some Ice In the Coast
League this season. Gregg Is working
out in earnest .for he wants to get into
the game next week.
Jim McGulre's Cleveland Blues put an
other one over on the Detroit Champions,
and once more they made a tenth-lnnlng

lanky twirler's offerings for 11 blngles.
and made most of them count In the run
column. Baum will get to going soon,
however, and the other clubs will have
some trouble getting to him.
Cap Dillon's Angel horde held the lead
in yesterday's battle with the Oakland
tribe until the eighth Inning, when the
"Wolverines" butted into the game in the
busiest manner imaginable and scored
enough runs to discount the early lead
taken by the Seraphs.
' a
Clark Griffith's Cincinnati team and
Fred Lake's Bostonese in the National
League succeeded In repeating their
opening performances by again beating
the Chicago Cubs and the New York
Giants respectively. C. Webb Murphy
can soon be expected to blame it all on
J. Kilns again If the present losses con
tinue. .
Hugh McCredle has arranged for a
large steam roller to work on the ball
grounds tomorrow morning. After, the
"Bill Taft" machine operates over the
diamond and outfield there will not be
many rough spots left, and the grounds
will look fine for the opening Tuesday.
George Shepherd says ha has prevailed
upon Governor Benson to pitch the first
ball on Tuesday and the! chief executive
is reported as having gone to his Rose-?
burg horns to practice throwing in order
to avoid maiming Mayor Simon, who
will probably catch the first ball if the
state executive throws it anywhere with

Walter McCredle and his fast-going
ball tossers representing Portland In
the Paciflo Coast League will close
their first Invasion of the southland
at Sacramento tomorrow, and on Tues
day afternoon will be in line for one of
the biggest receptions ever given to a
ball club on the Coast or anywhere
else for that matter. The fans of Port
land are enthusiastic over the work of
the boys in the south, and 9000 Is a
conservative guess of the opening at
tendance if the weather man behaves
as he did yesterday.
Having won more than half their
games on the road, the Beavers are
coming home with an excellent percent
age to fatten and to begin at climb that
is expected to bring the flag to Port
land. All of the players seem to be in
good shape. The misfortune to Captain
Casey is regrettable, but McCredle is
happily safeguarded by possessing so
versatile and valuable a player as
George Ort. who is filling Casey's posi

Hugh McCredle and George S. Shep

rangements for the opening ceremonies.
The Portland Automobile Club will par
ticipate with practically Its full mem
bership with their machines, and a
large number of enterprising Portland
automobile dealers have volunteered
the use of their machines to convey the
Invited guests and the Portland and
Oakland players in the parade to the
park
San Francisco's opening parade com
prised only ten automobiles and an
auto van carrying the band, and Port
land will have at least six times as
many machines in line.
The successes enjoyed by the team
in the south hare increased interest in
the opening game here, for nothing Is
so popular in a large city as a winning
baseball club. Already there is a good
demand for opening-day tickets, and all
of the boxes have been sold.
Deputies from the Building Inspect
or's office yesterday visited the grounds
and examined the stands and bleachers
thoroughly, and, when they finished
their work they pronounced the plant
50 per cent stronger and safer than
last season. The increased size of the
grandstand will prove a welcome fea
ture, though some objection will be of
fered by the patrons of the first-base
bleachers, which are no more. How
ever, Portland hitherto has been the
only club In the league which did not
possess stands running clear to first
base, and fans will soon become ac
customed to the change. By building
the bleachers higher and extending
them some distance, the same seating
capacity is furnished, while the capacity
of the grandstand is Increased one
fifth. The opening-day parade will start
from in front of the Oregon Hotel at 1
o'clock, and after a parade through the
principal streets, the procession will go
direct to the Vaughn-street grounds.

entered In the academic relay which may
be the most exerting event In the whole
meet.
