Like a "mudJer" rolling horn thro lengths ahead of a ftrld fit tadpoles. McCredle'e Beavers yesterday duplicated their performan- of one year ago agalr.sc Oakland by defeating Los An g'tes I lo I The field was a pond of p-:e. The Ancrit had as muck chenc as a hone thai atart the wrong way oa the track., excepting, perhaps. In on Inning the eighth when t.'iey got one iran over the Cjodyear and had third and second populated, with nobo!y dfwa. In a:: but thla one frame, however. "Pi'P Iilllon was about as Jovial as an aurora tetr:errd to a pile of rocks. The Ccavrrs got the Jump on the vl--Itora la the first paragraph and from that oo the only dar.avr was from frost bite. They clouted Delhi all over the hummock for 10 a-ife ones, despite hi delicate, ladylike "r.o v-you-stop-that" ' sort of wlndup. two two-baggers and a siagle la the first sending Ryan and Krueger ovrr the tally plate. PortlaaJ fans are tickled Immensely wtth the near leavers. Pecklnpaugh looks rtie greatest shortstop that ever struck the Coast, lie has a wonderful arm and Is f-.t as chain lightning, as att-sted by th- three double plaa In the opener. He accepted five chances without a skip and annexed two hits out of four trips to the pan. Onlj Krror Kxcuvable. Rodgers had one error In seven chances, but boots are always excusuMe In mud puddles. ilcCredie says if Ball does come he will ue him as bench orna ment, as the Connecticut Irishman la good enough for him. Out In right field Chadbourne scooped In three screamers with apparently no effort at all. He failed to break Into the clout column, but on a dry field would easily have beaten out his beauti ful bunt In the sixth, for Chad is quite a stepper over the century route. Kuhn. another 1911 recruit, will prob ably be seen In action tcxi.iys receiving for Ben Henderson. The Fresno back stop has been la Id up with a lacerated thumb, tha result of a mlxup with cer tain baseball spikes, owned oy Uaggart of Oakland, but la pronounced fit aa a fiddle for tills afternoon. ' Ilia presence will add to tha titling strength of the squad. . i - . ' Interesting Plays Gleaned. Hera are a few facta for tha benefit of the few who didn't go through tha turnstile: The first delivery of the season on tha Portland grounds was a ball pitched by Tom sea ton. First base hit "Buddy" Ryan, who lined to renter In the first. First kirk against the umpire Krueger on a strike called on him. First assist Sheeliau. First putout Kappa oa same play In first Inning. First putout In the outfield Melxgcr'a fly by Chadbourne. First star play Akin, who - speared Chadbourne'a swat with one hand at third. First seore Ryan for Portland. First two-bagger Krueger. driving In R-rn- , . First error Sheehan on Daley grounder In the second. First stolen base Ryan, who pilfered the home plate in the third with tha assistance of Delhi's wild peg. Flrat strikeout Tom Seaton. First base on balls Kappa In the third. Field Notes Taken. Akin, at third for Los Angeles, played with P-attle la the Northwest i.eagua In 1j0-1u. He was formerly a catcher. Boston having drafted him from Texas three or four years ago In that capacity. At 1:13 o'clock the Immensa grand stand waa Jammed to tha roof and the bleachers were packed. At I 3 o'clock the Ameriraa flag was flung to the fcreeie while thousands of fans stood vp and bared their heads to the strains of 'The Star-spangled Banner." Governor West waa cot present to pitch the first ball, owing to the funeral of the late Secretary of State, but thera was tha Mayor and other pomp. Coun cilman Cellars took the Governor's - place on the mound with "Southpaw" .Werlein. whose sideline Is being City Treasurer, behind the bat. The Mayor referred. McCrdle announced In the game that sn effort would b made to buy Pitcher r.iencke for the Beavers" hurling staff. Otencke was signed originally by Nick Williams but Adrian. Mich, cam through with a belated claim. Glenck will remain her for the present. Daley made the first of the visitors' four hits In the fourth, when ha lined to renter field. Krueger Wins Fancy Hat. In tha third Inning Krueger was pre. seated with a new bat done np In pink baby ribbon and sprinkled with toilet water, but with ona out and Ryan on third the big slugger refosed to use It. The bat Is on specially made bv the Spalding Company for the Honeyman Hardware Company to be presented to the leading batsman of the 1910 Coast league season. Krueger waa tha lucky man. The crowd bid the score board from view and many of the fans used the sixth as "stretch" Innlnr. Th Portland Typographical Union la rumored to be plotting a blacklist on . Pecklnpaugh. M ike it Peck. Tom Seatoa did not allow A walk . until the fifth, when Smith got free transportation. ' ' The Angels went down the plank one. two. three in the first Inning.

Before a representative Portland crowd of baseball ar.s St Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets yesterday afternoon. Walter McCredles ehsmplon Portland Beavers officially opened the baseball season of 111 by defeating the Los An geles clue by the score of 4 to 1. In so doing Tommy Seaton. who heaved for Portland had revenge on 'FVme." Delhi of-the' 'Angel team, for tha defeat registered . aJpaJnst him in Los Angeles on opening day. March H last. The weather was not any too flat tering for ' baseball, yet dowplte ths cold and threatening showers mora than . of Portland's faithful fandom aaserobled tt tha baseball park and cheered tha I9U squad almost continuously. Tha new Beavers made a csciaea mi. r.d the old faces came 1n for ovations when they appeared at bat. All through the game., which was a "hlgh-clae .ex hibition throughout, tne wuia were npi keyed up to the top notch of excite ment because of the fins Work of ths players. The Los Angelee club, while It was permitted only four blnglets by Bea ton, became threatening often enough to cause the spirit of expectancy to pre dominate in the hearta of tha scattering of Los Angeles fana who were present' and anxiety on tha part of tbe horns club's admirers. Seaton Master of Situation. Seaton. who hoa been known to wobble on occasions, however, proved ths master of tha situation and on being helped out of a tight hole In the eighth Inning by tha alertness of BUI Rapps In seizing an opportunity for completing an unexpected double play, be came bark strong and nnUtaed the gams nicely. Until tha eighth the Angels had no chance and the opportunity knocking at the visitor's door In that Inning waa pled when Delhi became the victim of his own over anxiety to score. The Beavers won tha game In the first Inning when the brave boys In white laced the offerings of "Flame" Delhi, the husky soung giant who twirled for the Angels, for three hits, two of which were two-baggers to ths overflow crowd, and scored two mils, enough, aa It even tually proved, to win the game Th.s other two scored were garnered In the third and Cf th innings by other timely hits. Following the customary automobile parade In which :u motor vehicles were In line, came the opening day cere monies at the park. For soma reason or other the official silken pennant won by Portland Inst season was minus, but the hanvslonsritj hunting tendered all win ning ball clubs by the A. O.

Then George Hildebrand. one of the best umpires who ever "worked on -the Coast, started the ball rollingby the call of "Play Bail." Roy (Akln Seaton's First Victim. Roy Akin, formerly a hireling of D. E. Due-dale, of Seattle, was the first Angeleno to face Tom Seaton. and his , effort was a puny grounaer. to jmmj Sheehan. who heaved him out at first. Metsger. the new Angeleno shortstopper was the next victim and he popped a fly to Cheer Chadbourne, Portland's new right fielder and Charley Moore, who waa hardly recognizable in a Los An geles uniform, ended the Angels' first sashay at bat by another chance to T. Sheehan. and It was Portlands turn.. Amid the applause of the welcoming fans, Chadbourne took his position at the plate, and smashed the first ball pitched by Delhi straight Into tho hands of Akin and was out. Greeted by a per fect demonstration of enthusiasm. Buddy Ryan, tha popular center fielder, then ambled to tha plate, and. after riddling awhllo. he outguessed Delhi and singled to center. Sheehsn's slow bounder cams near catching Delmas napping, but the Angeleno managed to corral the ball and tossed Tommy out at first owing to the slow going on ths muddy field. Ryan, however, took second on the fielder's choice and scored the first run a moment later when Artie Kru.ger whanged one Into ths left Held crowd for a couple of sarksx for A we run - - - " 7 ' ' . v. n a, b incentive large ourn-nn ui "u""" Gingery BUI Rapps was called upon to repeat, and he did.

Delhi and ueimaa went after, and Akin bareiy uppea with his gloved hand as it descended. The result Was that Krueger reached nnst safely, but Ryan was held at third because of the possible catch. Krueger was nipped trying to steal, ana again tne heavy going held Ryan at third. With ut sn,l Harms at bat.

This made three runs for Portland. tk i.iit scored by the Beavers cams In the fifth, when Sheehan opened with a annglsx Rapps again doubled to tha right field crowd, putting Sheehan on third.

With none out It looked as though Man ager Mac" would "Jerk" Seaton. but Delhi ' scrambled the . Angels' eggs by getting caught between the bases when Akin hit sharply to Rodgers and was out at first. Before tossing to Rapps. Rodgers made several bluff throws to Sheehan. holding Smith at third, and Delhi ran nearly to third base. On retiring Akin. Rapps dashed across the diamond and cut Delhi off from returning to second, making the putout easily, as the be wildered twlrler seemed puzzled aa to what to do. In this peculiar double play Rapps got both putouts and showed himself to be alert to the situation at all times.

Major Holbts 1 9 10 Pennant. The limitless lung capacity of that mighty concourse of Portland fans was revealed for the first time when Mayor Simon hoisted the 1910 pennant up un der the Stars and Stripes. There was a triumphal exhibition of noise-making that waa heard a, mile distant, narrow ing up the feelings of the hapless few held in bondage by business, cares. Los Angeles, of course, went first to bat and was greeted by a cheer of courtesy. Councilman Cellars tossed the first ball and, that formality dls nansed with, a tense silence settled down with the opening of hostilities. But It was a brief silence. For Akin was speedily thrown out at first base and then the fans opened their lungs to capacity. Metzger went out on a fly to the accompaniment of do ma tnrhiiiAnt tuTiH a moment later. Portland got to bat In the first 10 minutes of play and proceeaea. in ..iidIIk tlma n effAnt tWO TOUlld trips' of the diamond, the runs being made by Ryan and Krueger. From that time on Portland fandom rose to an ecstacy of delight that was v.iKAnA with Aarh moment of Dlay. The Portlanders proved their title time and again. The field was heavy and footing difficult but that made not ih. aiiirhta.t rfiffprenr. The little mis fortunes of slipping that frequently overtook the visitors seldom reached the local champions. Tn th, iirhtH Innlnsr the visitors rallied and scored a run In the early part of their half. There was a brief HviA.

With the game seemingly decided ti. ninth innlniF tiAsran the Im mense throng did not begin thinning ... x, 9no nttranm left before the game ended. After the long period af fasting the fans were reluctant to leave while there remained a morsel of play, even though remaining to the end did mean a mighty scurryins i"r pi.o overcrowded cars.

Their principal line of fi-itiff.m ws.a that Hogan could have spared others of his team much better than Schafer, aitnougn it is aumniou that the latter's work has not been up to the mark of late. Schafer made a quick run out to the grounds today and gathered up his togs. When asked where he was go ing, he replied that he did not know but he believed there were some good berths In the Northwestern League that he could fit into.
