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.

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.

BY J. PET RAIN.
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. Spalding
Company was utilised instead and

Mayor Simon hoisted the American flag
end then the pennant, after which Coun
cilman Cellars pitched "several first
balls" nearly over the plate and each of
them wan almost caught by City Treas
urer Werleln, acting aa catcher. 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

Gingery BUI Rapps was called upon to

crowd and Stadellc. tne young; '"

not break through. This netted Bill

Ryan Bobs Vp Again.
Buddy Ryan was again a hero in the
third Inning." As first man up Bud bit
to Metsger. who heaved low and wild to
Dillon and Ryan landed on second. Shee

which MeUger. Akin. Delhi and ueimaa
went after, and Akin bareiy uppea
with his gloved hand as it descended.
The result Was that Krueger reached

because of the possible catch. Krueger
was nipped trying to steal, ana again tne
heavy going held Ryan at third. With

the resulting bad heave that gave both
runners life. "Flame" Delhi then pasted
one of Beaton's choicest Into the left

Stadelle and aena.ng 8mlth to third.

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

what to do. In this peculiar double

himself to be alert to the situation at

Benny Henderson, Portland s star
twlrler In 1906, who has been an outlaw
during the lat four years, will mount
the hilltop for tie Beavers this after
noon and try to win his first game for
his old teammates. . Benny was . trotted
out ,once before this jeanon. and against
the Los Angeles duo. Cut he had not
had time to get Into shape then as ha
had been working Out only five days.
Portland won that game, but Steen
had to finish Jt for Henderson. Hender
son claims he Is In fine form and is
anxious to show the fans of Portland
that he appreciates the opportunity of
getting back Into the game and says he
Is going to help Portland win another

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. K,it tha rAluvanared sDlrit
quickly passed away as the champions
ended the nan in one-wiciuuo man
Ion and resumed possession of the bat.
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.
SCHAFER RELEASED BY HOG.VX
Vernon Pitcher Starts North, Pre
sumably to Join. Northwestern.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. April 18. (Spe
cial.) The news that Happy Hogan
had released Schafer, of the Vernon
pitching staff, Btruck the fans an in
a heap today. 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. Tonight, there was
a report that Captain Brashear, of the
Vancouver team had a place for
Schafer. whose work he knows well,
and this report waa given credence
when It was learned that Schafer left

crowd Into ecstacles. and when W alter
McCredie and Buddy Ryan came out
together the demonstration approached
the frantic. .
The outbursts of the crowd easily
proved the hold the players have on the
heartstrings of the fans, for each ath

new and old players alike were singled
out for shouts of approval from the
wildly enthusiastic gathering assem

Cellars felt so good that be was not
satisfied with one heave, so took a
couple of more shots at the guardian

true to the mark, though Werlein failed
