SEATTLE. Wash.. April 14. (Special.)
In the course of a lifetime every In
dividual meets wun reveries anj dis
appointments. Tne same Is true In
baseball. Seattle played magnificent
ball, fair ball and -rotten" ball this
afternoon, losing in the home stretch a
game that looked like a cinch. There
are bo complaints to make. The um
pires gave Seattle everything that was
coming her way. Kane be'.n especially
discerning In close decisions st tne
plate, but draw the curtain on trio
eighth and ninth stanzas. It was awfuL
Score: TortUnd 10. Sat:le C.
Only those who saw the game will
reallie how scandalous ";J the con
duct of Teaiey Raymond and the new
pet. Bues. They tossed away the gams
when It was a 100-to-l shot that Seat
tle would win. But ll was the fortune
ef war.
Two Are 'Tall Cojs."
At President Dugdale said, after tha
way things had been runnlnn the locals
had to get It out of their system and
Teaiey tnd Bues proved to be the Tall

Is true that one or two of the chances
were of the sam kind that put Hobby
James on the blink during ths past
week.

That Seattle sltiffed off a rame that
ha should have won. hands down,
there Is no doubt, but the truth of the
matter Is. the wind was blowing
harder than the fans In the grand
stand Imagined and that had a lot to
do with the catastrophe that befell
their pets when they passed from the
stage of looking like "Champeens" to
the 10-esnt variety. '
After' all was over. Umpire Kane
ventured the opinion that . while Seat

the wind had something to do with
scattering the cards. Ths score:

HARD SERIES AHEAD
Senators Expected to Give
Beavers Lively Battle.
SOUTHERNERS DUE TODAY
Sacramento Team In Fine Form
for Struggle Three ex-Portland
Players With Visitors Hllde
brand Will Be Umpire.
Under the spotlight on the baseball
svage at Recreation Park this week will
be featured Patsy O'Rourke. eon of the
veteran Jim O'Rourke. the oldest man In
bareban. and his Sacramento Senators,
itie e. .nn.nr.nt-. In Portland stars
him as a headllner. a successful man- t
ager. Manager O'Rourke and bis tribe j
or ballplayers, soma or wnom nave seen
major league service, will arrive In Port
land today to start the second week of
baseball here this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
O'Rourke has succeeded Charley Gra
ham, th well-known Pacific Coast ball
player, as manager of the team, although
Graham Is still at the helm of the Sac
ramento dub. When a mere young
ster, O'Rourke took to th great Na
tional game and his father took pride
In th boy. retaining him as a member
of hla Bridgeport, Conn, club for many
years. From that city he was drafted
by the Boston Americans and In turn
sent by that club to Sacramento.
O'Rourke Good Player.
Tie Is second sack custodian and a
good one. too. Around him he has
placed a good Infield and In the outfield
has a fast trio of men. And his pitch
ing staff with Nourse. McLeod. Zam
lock and Fltxgerald Is strong. Zamlock
has been showing a great deal of "class"
In th games down south and baa earned
the good wiQ of the Bay City scribes.
Sunday he shut out the Seals with only
four hits.
Three ex-Portland players are with
O'Rourke's team. Hal Danslg. first
baseman, and Jimmy Shlnn. third base
man, are th ex-Beavers. And Deacon
VanBuren la th third ex-Portland
player. Portland fana will also recog
nise Micky LaLonge, catcher, who for
merly waa with San Francisco.
Whether Portland will be able to grab
th series from Sacramento as they did
from Los Angeles remalna problematical
In view of the splendid ball the Senators
have been playing. True, they were set
down the ladder a bit by the Seals lust
week, but they nevertheless mad a
grand fight of It and bid fair to make the i
Beavers hurry aome. The Senators are
still tn third place, having a percentage
of .500. the biggest percentage the team
has ever had on Ita migrations to Port
land. Reavers Are Ready.
Th Beavers are ready for th battle
with the Southerners and Portland fans
expect a great struggle. It la conceded
on every hand that the Beavera will
have to face th real "music" In meet- !
lng the Sacramento ball clun. There Is j
not a cripple on the squad. ElCSer Ful- !
lerton or Steen will occupy the box for
the Beavers and probably McLeod will
pitch for the visitors.
Testerday was the first day of rest the
Beavers have had alnce the season
opened flv weeks ago today. Some of
th newcomers on the team put In the

NAPS AFTER BALL:
M'CREDIE WILLING
Cleveland Offers Olson Back,
but Beaver Manager Does
Not Want Him.
LOCAL LINE-UP SATISFIES
Portland Magnate Releases Recalci
trant Flayer, but Asserts He Will
Xot Make Room Here for
His Former Shortstop.
"Hav w your permission to play
Neal Ball on our club? Will return
Ivan Olson to you If you desire him." Is
th text of a telegram received by Wal
ter McCredle from the Cleveland Ameri
can League team last night.
From the above It would appear that
Portland s crack shortstop has failed to
make good with the Cleveland team,
and McCredla announced that ha has
consented to allow the Cleveland club
to have the services of Neal Ball, the
holdout player, but says he hss no use
for Olson on his Portland club.
Olson was a fine shortstop In this
league, but a great deal of his success
waa due to his aggreaslveness, whloh
he seemed able to get away with In
this league, but has evidently failed to
do In the faster circuit. Olaon was a
poor batsman, and this fact no doubt
caused him to lose out.
Rodgers Makes Good.
As for Neal Ball, McCredie depended
upon him to take the place of Pearl
Casey up to the time the Beavers got
into action at Santa Maria, after which
time Bill Rodgers made so good with
McCredle that he did not care whether
Ball reported or not, and was satisfied
to hold on to the recalcitrant one In the
hopes of teaching him a lesson and also
of putting over a good trade In the
event his club showed any noticeable
weaknesses.
Th more Rodgers played second
base the mora he Impressed McCredle,
and afttr the Waterbury recruit had
h-'d iJWft that position for several
weeks lr practice, McCredla asserted
tht Neal Ball would have to be a
world beater to take the job away fron
Rodgers.
In Roger Pecklnpaugh McCredle be
lieves he has a better shortstop than
Olson ever was, and the Portland fans
who have seen the clever young player
perform In the games played- here so
far are satisfied that he Is a better
man than tne player now with Cleve
land. Olson Xot Xeeded.
'1 don't want Olson when I have
Pecklnpaugh, and I don't need Neal
Ball when I have Rodgers." said Walter
McCredle, commenting on the Cleveland
club's request, "so I telegTaphed Presi
dent Somers that he was welcome to
i.eal Ball, and that I did not need Ol
son. I think my team right now is the
best club In the league, and I don't
know of any place on the club that
needs strengthening. I am perfectly
satisfied with the complexion of the
team and unless some ot the players
blow up. which I hardly think is likely.
I'll be able to win. out with my present
club.
"Neal Ball could not possibly beat
this Rodgers out for the second base
position, and I doubt very much If h
has anything on Peck' as a shortstop.
At any rate, Cleveland Is welcome to
both Ball and Olaon. though I shall
exercise my rights In the matter In
case they decide to dispose of Ball
later on. In which case they have prom
ised to notify me."
Olson's failure to make good with
Cleveland was commented upon quite
extensively by the Portland players
who were his team mates on the cham
pion Beaver aggregation of last season
and most of the Portland players ex
pressed regret at Ole's failure to "make
good."
RIVAL NINES TO CLASH
JEFFERSON" AND COLUMBIA TO

Both Teams Have Aspirations for
Interscholastlc League Pen
nant This Senson.
Columbia University and JefTerson
High School will play off their post
poned Intersoholastlo League baseball
game on Multnomah Field this after

won her only game of the season while
Jefferson lost Its one game. While the
Columbia men were idle during the
vacation period Jefferson's were going
through hard practice work under the
direction of "Dolly" Gray former coach

The "Woods Electric has a hold
on the people of Chicago that
nothing on earth but merit could
give it.
If you have the slightest doubt
as to the relative merits of elec
tric cars, ride in them and then
examine the construction and the
materials used.
If .you know anything at all
about electric car building, this
examination will answer all your
questions. If you don't know
anything about it, take someone
with you that does.
One of the first things that will
interest you in the Woods is the
fact that the best people in Chi
cago use them and keep on using
them. The best people are the
people who go after quality and
refuse to accept anything else.
That's your answer.

EVERY TIME a man wants to get away from
all connection with the busy world, the tele
phone is an important helper. .
The Local Service is useful in arranging his
affairs at home, and the Long Distance Service
of the Bell System helps him to decide where to
go and what to take.
By means of his Bell Telephone he can find
out whether the fish are biting or the birds are
flying, and whether guides or horses can be se
cured. After he has been out awhile, if he wants to
get word from the city, the nearest Bell Tele
phone is a friend in need.

Editor The Oregonlan.) Will you
please answer the following questions
on a bet? A bets B that one team will
make twice as many runs in a game as
the loser. The game ends 2 to 0. Who
wins?
A base runner is on second, with
neither first nor third occupied. While
a man is at bat the catcher gives the
pitcher the signal to throw to second.
The second baseman does not get the
signal, so when the pitcher turns to
throw the ball to second he finds the
basemen off their guard, and decides
not to throw. The umpire calls a balk
and gives tho runner third base. Is
that right?
Answer: No. 1 A wins. No. 2 It Is
at the discretion of the umpire accord
ing to his interpretation of the rules
of "balking." They are as follows:
Rule 34, section 1, any motion made
by the pitcher while in position to de
liver the ball to the bat without deliv
ering it, or to throw to first base when
occupied by a base runner without
completing the throw; section 2, throw
ing by the pitcher to any base to catch
the base runner without stepping di
rectly toward such base in the act of
making th throw.
