Prefacing his players, who report 'F turd jr. full of confidence for a good i'uon and brlnj-lnc optimistic reports of the Beaver. Richard (Xlckl Wll- ' Hams, manager of the Portland club of the Northwestern League, arrived In Portland last night on the Shasta ZJmlted and registered at the Seward. Although behind In his '"beauty sleep' and tired from his overland Journey, "Williams took Urns to discuss the mer its of his team. Williams has J men on his roster, many of whom are expected aboard the steamship Beaver, which arrives In Portland Friday. The boat left San rancisco yesterday- In addition to these men several other players may ordered to report. Ten of these men are pitcher, four elnr turned over to the "Roadsters r Walter McCredle. and two others are ex-Pacific Coast League twirlers known by Manager Williams to 'be good men. There are four catchers. none of whom has been seen In Port land, but they are all rated highly. nd there ara eight tnflelders. Includ ing Manager Williams. Perle Casey, Mundorlf. of San Krancraco. and Kddie Jler. If the recruits show enough to displace either of these men for Tegular berths they will have had to "go some." is Williams' belief. However, the outfield looks strong as -stone wall." with three Pacific Coast eague men In line for the Jobs. la addition to these there ia a promising recruit of the name of Miller, from the East, and there ara other good men to be landed In case of necessity. Of the "Roadster" team there ara IS players, who have had class A expert enre. if that la not enough aeasoned timber for any ball club, then Man' ager Williams and Judge McCredle are o(T on their guess. Furthermore. Bona of these players Is a "has bean' all ara still cp and coming. The men on whom the 'ex-San Fran cisco star depends to make up the per Sonne of his team are: Pitchers Bolce. Bloomfleld and Gar rett, of last year's champions; Lara- line, whom McCredle drafted from the Kast: Tonneson. a left-hander, who twirled for Oakland two years ago; Herger. who was Sao Francisco's de pendable right-hander two years ago Yates, a California lad: norland, who comes from Williams alma mater. St. Ignatius College: Allegarte. a Santa Clara College chap of two years grad- taation. and Gincke. a strapping; big left-hander. Catchers Snooks, who played In th Western Leajcue about Kansas City: j'rrta, who on dope looms up "dsrk horse."" and comes from Toledo In the American Association: Klrby, Vancouver. Wash-, lad who formerly was employed by Judge McCredle. and Wlneholt. who caught for Raymond In the Washington State teague last year, lie was secured for Williams by Cliff Klankenahlp. the Washington (Ameri can league) scout.

Outfielders Billy Speaa and George frt. prime favorites with the Portland fans: Jesse Stovail. the clever Ver non outfielder of last year and exper ienced Pacific Coast gardener; and Mil ler, who last year hit .27 for Burling ton In the Central Association League. And to take care of the physical con rlltirn of the men Manager Williams lured "Doc" Carroll away from the ran Francisco ideals. Carroll, says Williams, is a thoroughly reliable man and an expert trainer. "It seems rather queer to forecast position In the pennant race at this time without having seen any of the other clubs." said Williams last night, hut If any or them beat Portland out they will have to play really Clasa A ball. My men all look promising, and with the full support of the Mct'redtea I Intend to give Portland the best bail club povaihle. "We will begin work Saturday, and as soon aa the men have (sken the kinks out of their systems we'll begin work twice a day. If this good weather contlnuea for another ten daya our team will be In the best of shape. I Intend to close negotiations with Co lumbia I'nlversity for the use of the Coliseum and campus. "I don't expect the least hit or trou ble with the men, but I shall Issue the warning that "monkey business' won't be tolerated. We are out to win. and win we shall If we have an even break In luck. "Several of the boys are coming north by steamer, and the rest will report within the course of a few days.

Murphy and the other by Joseph K. Wiley. One will be for the women riders and the other for the man who wins in his division. Notwithstanding women competitors. the race will be over a course entirely new, embracing several difficult jumps and a good deal of wooded territory, through unbroken ground and across fields. All in all. the course which has been selected and which will he laid out by Thomas Monks and Harper Skewea. hares, will be one of the best ridden over by the Portland Hunt Club riders. Heretofore It haa been the custom of the Portland Hunt Club to hold spe cial paper chases for the women. The women have been discontented with this system and have been eager for a chance to ride In comietttlon with the men. However, It will be unnecessary for the feminine riders to compete on the same level with the men. A start of perhaps half an hour will be allowed before the men are sent away in pur suit of the gentler, sex. It will be a gala day at tne clun Sat urday afternoon. Society folk will at tend the races, several coaching parties have been organized to go to Garden Home and following the race riders and their friends will assemble at the club house, where the trophies will be pre sented and refreshments served.

Hi j : i Buddy Ryan Pnlls Off Clever Play When He Nabs Manager "Mac"' Ofr Second Barfe Plaer Enjoys Trick Play. SANTA MARIA. Cal., March 22. (Special.) In a slx-innlng game here today the regular Portland team, which will face Los Angeles next Tuesday, defeated the second team, made up mostly of surplus pitchers, by the score of 8 to 1. Al Arlett pitched for the regular team and allowed five hits, of which two were two-baggers by Mc Credle and Tvuhn. while Frank Archer, who pitched for McCredie's Yannigans. allowed only six hits and several of these would not have been safeties had he been backed up by a regular infield. The Yannigans filled up the bases on Al Arlett in the fourth inning and Buddy Ryan pulled off a stunt which saved trouble for the young twlrler by coming In from center field and catch ing McCredle oft the bag on a quick toss from Murray. The play was pulled off so fast Mac had no time to get back and Ryan made the most of it by "kid ding" the manager all the afternoon. While the Idea of getting caught was not relished by McCredle, he was pleased at the trick, for It showed him that his players are on the alert and al ways trying something new. Bill Rogers again played a fine game at second. Sam Griffith and Bill Rus sell were released this morning, and Pan Sheehy. the Santa Maria heaver, has been signed to pitch for Nick Will lams' team. Sheehy will leave here for Portland some time next week. Eddie Mensor left for Portland this morning and expects to join Williams' squad Sat urday. Tomorrow will be an off day at "the training camp, for all' of the players will be taken to the big oil wells in the district eight miles from here. SEALS RECRtTT SAVES DEFEAT San Francisco Has Close Call in 2-1 Game With Tacoma. 9AN FRANCISCO. March 22. (Special.) "Cs.nnoiiball" Carman naved the Seals the Ignomy of defeat at the hands of Ta coma today. Just aa the handful of fans despaired of seeing the San Franciscans bunch their hits the big recruit poked one into left field and two runs scored. After that the Tigers tallied once, but they couldn't get more of their men around the bases) and the session closed at I to 1. Thursday will give the two clubs a chance to play the rubber. The game Is another "added etarter." Danny Long hod nothing scheduled for his Seals and aa Mike Lynch had an open date be ac cepted the Invitation to settle the ques tion of individual supremacy. Tacoma never ahould have had a run today, never even should have been given a clsuice to circle the bases. One man hit by Frank Miller and a dropped ball by Mohler gave them an opening that they did not take advantage of In the sixth, and an infield bit. a stolen base end a bad toss across the diamond by Berry were the instrumental features In tlie score by Bassey In the ninth. Harry Sutors remarkable pitching and a aensatlonal bare-handed stop by Ten- nant in the ninth, cutting off a hit and in all probability a two-bagger for Rock enfeld that might have ended in a tied score, were the features. Sutor pitched five innings and although he was) not using hta curve to any great extent, he had speed and control. Fif teen men faced him in the five Innings that he was allowed to work, and not one of them reached first base. Eight of them were fanned and the otbera were easy outs, mostly high files that the outfielders gathered In easily. No runs were scored until the eighth Inning when a walk, two singles and a stolen hama netted the locals two runs after two men were out. Tacoma scored Its only run In the ninth. The score: R.H.E.
