Before a crow; of 11.004 face, at the season openlnx. the Log Anjrelea cellar champions rose and mote the champion Portland Beacrs this afternoon. to 2, Leverena oppos ing Henderson. The affray ushered In a number of notable Innovations Ik the Faclflc Coast League the new rubber cored official ball, the double un:plre system and the numbering of players for Identification purposes. "The defeat clnchea the pennant for us! that's all." Bald McCredle after the lld-prylnr setto, and he really meant It. McCredle Is as superstitious as a Blackfoot warrior. "We hare lost live openers In a row before and haven't we pulled out rear the top?" he ventured, almost before the smoke of battle cleared the arena. Beavers Leek Ffaet The fame wae as pretty an exhibi tion of the National pastime as anyone could wish to behold and. despite de feat, the Bearers never looked better. Portland donned the black crepe be cause the Angels bunched four hits on two different occasions, the first and fifth stansas. Henderson allowed nine hits and Leverens seven, the latter spattered throughout Ave different in nings In desultory fashion. Los Ana-eles scored In the very first Inning. taley cracking the first pitched ball over Lindsay's head for a single. Page sacrificed and Heltmul ler shoved Daley over on a single to right. Dillon and Lober followed with drives through the lnneld and but for a remarkable throw to the plate by Chadbourne. Heltmuller would have legged acrosa the disk In safety, add ing another acore. Steads Are Packed. An overflow assemblage of rooters which had smiled faintly when Mayor Alexander pulled the cork by a ludi crous throw from the mound, split the skies st that Juncture and even the Ixs Angeles newspaper men picked up hopes for an ultimate victory and be gan mentally framing their "hedgy" story for the morning editions. Krueger, Kn and Kapps tied the tally in the fourth. Krueger. first up. smacked a scorching double Into right field, going to third on Doane's liner Into left. Doane then stole second and both tore for the plate when Bill Itappa shot one between third and short. Krueger made It easily, but lKane was nlppet on a close decision t the plate after a dandy peg by Lo ber. But the Oregon hopes were blasted In the next Inning when doubles by Reams and Daley, a triple by Page and a single by Dillon ran the gong for thrice. Reams surprised the fans by appear ing at short In an Angel uniform the Vernon third substitute having been purchased over night to fill the In jured Howard's shoes, and as a real honest-to-g oodness Jinx always wills It. Reams came through with two hits In his three excursions before Hen derson's slants. Portland rallied manfully and strove to throw off the yoke, but Houthpaw Lererens tethered the champions to two singles In the remaining five sec tions, and it's a hard matter to score three runs on two scattered hits In five Innings. The second Besver tslly was really presented to them In the sixth Inning. Chadbourne landing on the key stone sack when Reams threw over Dillon's bead. Rodgers sent him across on his second single of the afternoon. Headereea'a Ana Oiled. Henderson appeared to he In great form through t. but some days the lurk breaks all with the batter. The fart that he sent the Angels hitlers for five of the eight Inning Indicates that he bad the salary wing pretty well oiled up. AlcCredle's new lads broke Into the Coast League with colors flying. Doane. batting against a southpaw, slammed Out two hits and gave the local under taking society a few ecstatic quivers on an occasion by driving the leather old at Second Baseman Page with the velocity of a rifle bullet. Bancroft had five chances, annexed on hit and stole a base. The Wiscon sin youngster also displayed cerebral activity by ateallng third when Catcher Boles stopped to ponder after nipping an extremely difficult foul fly In the overflow crowd, fmptre Mertes. how ever, ruled him ut for leaving the bag too soon. Hewler'e Werk Cewd. Catcher Howley flagged two men with much finesse and also conducted himself Ilka a well-bebsved big leaguer. His throwing showed to advantage over that of Boles, the new Angel re ceiver. Koestner probably will be sent to the mound tomorrow and Chech, the ex Ft. Paul right-hander, will do service for Dillon. Brooks backstopplng. Just arlor to today's affray. McCredle trans posed Krueger and Doane on the bat ting list, but with a right-hander up. Doane will go back to his clean-up station.

The O.-W. R. & N Colum bus Club and Rainier, the last named of the Columbia River League, are the clubs aspiring to taokle the leaguers. No decision has been reached in the matter, as the Judge is determined to confront the Nicks with the strongest possible aggregation of embryonic dia mond luminaries.

Vic Holm, twirler recently released by Sacramento, is a player who failed to stick with a "B" club and was sent higher. Instead of pursuing the regula tion downward trail. Vic suffered with rheumatism so badly that he was good only in spots in the Northwestern, and those spots were few and far between. Spokane turned him over to Sacra mento, the Senators figuring that the climate might chase the kinks from his joints. e The following Is the way the Spo kane club of the Northwestern may line up for the fray: Sheely, first base; Wuffli. second base: Cooney, shortstop; Cartwrlght. third base; Zim merman, right field; Melchoir. left field; Shaw, center Held; Ryan, Jones, catch ers.

Abies just lost his first. George Weaver and Red Kuhn starred in a recent game against Austin of the Texas League. Kuhn did not allow one stolen base, while both men broke heav ily into the hit column. According to a writer traveling with the Browns, Clyde Wares, ex-Oakland lnfleldor. Is due for a trip down.

ASPIRING The Goldsmith Guaranteed Baseball Officially Used in All Pacific Coast League Opening Games Yesterday The Meier & Frank Store Goldsmith Distributors for Portland SHkaite Men Sponsors for Move ment, Which Would Include, Be side Cities Mentioned, Seattle, Tacoma and Walla Walla. Portland cue enthusiasts are warm ing up to the proposed organization of a Northwest billiard league, to be com posed of Portland, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and possibly Walla Walla. Spokane promoters have taken hold of the project, Portland people have been approached, and the indications point to the bringing together of the "green cloth" experts of the Northwest in a series of tourneys each season. The scheme is to hold one and pos sibly two championship meets, 14.2 or 18.2 balk line, in each city of the cir cuit every year. Spokane plans to In augurate the tourney with a 14.2 strug gle this month, but the league proper, will probably not be opened' until next Fall. Many efforts have been made to or ganize a billiard league in the North west. Tentative plans for an organi sation comprising Portland. Seattle and Spokane have been discussed on numerous occasions, but this is the first time a live-town league has been pro posed, and the interest indicates that success will greet the efforts of the enthusiasts. W. C. Dunlway, amateur Northwest champion, and Henry Solomon, three cushion title-holder, are both enthus iastic supporters of the league, but neither will be numbered among- the Portland representatives. Dunlway says he will not compete In anything but amateur tourneys, while Solomon's busineHs will not permit "him to make a trip until Summer. Solomon has not played balk line billiards for a year, but says that he is still In the run ning when it comes to league shooting. Among the local cueists who are rated good enough for competition of this character are: C. K. Williams, winner of the Acme tourney; G. E. Oorg, runner-up in the Acme tilt; Jim my Friedman, former Oregon champion; Walter Johnston, three-cushion shark; C. J. Draper, pool, three-cushion and balk line exponent. The billiard-hall owners of the city are lined up strong for the proposed organization. They realize that a league of this kind will boom the table game and every effort will be made to send one or two men to Spokane. s The Solomon-Johnston three-cushion championship matcii is still in the air, principally because the men cannot agree as to the scene of the three nights' struggle. Johnston wants to pull ofT the series at the Waldorf par lors, while Solomon asks for one game at the Waldorf, another at his own place and the third in a neutral parlor. If this cannot be arranged he suggests a public hall. "I am willing to play Johnston for anything from 26 cents up In order to give him a chance at the Coast cham pionship," says Solomon. JOHNNY M MCRRAY TO ENTER Portland Amateurs Consider Hint Best Man for Pacific Meet. Johnny McMurray. considered by many to be the city's fastest crawl swimmer, will be entered In the Pacific Northwest Association meet by the Portland Amateur Swimming Associa tion. McMurray recently changed from the trudgeon stroke to the crawl and under the direction pf Jack Cody is developing into a coming champion. Ross Roller and Colly Wheeler, both fast men from the same club also will be entered in the races, and will com pete in the shorter distances. A meeting will be held tonight at which the new officials of the club will be elected and the plans for the pur chase of some site adjoining the river will be discussed. The club recently purchased a houseboat which will be used as temporary quarters of the club, while swimming In the river is at its best. A competitive meet for members only will be held at the Portland Swim ming Baths, afer the election is settled. O. A. C. DEFEATS HIGH SCHOOL College Players Show Good Early Season Form in First Game. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Corvallis. April 2. (SpeciaL) Coach Stewart's Oregon Agricultural College baseball prospects won their third con secutive practice game yesterday by defeating the Corvallis High School team in seven innings by a score of 8 Several extra men were used by the college in an effort to fit all the parts for an effective O. A. C. machine. Cul ver pitched six innings for the college, and, allowing but one hit, gives promise of being a reliable running mate for Captain Reiben. Craig, the Salem High School star, worked the seventh Inning. Farmer, who held the mound for the high school boys the last four Innings, gives promise of being an artist. He held the collegians to one run in his four innings. It Is too early In the season to pick the college team, but the Impression among the fans seems to be that Cooper will be the Initial Marker as usual, and ready for your inspection "Where . WE SPECIALIZE IN FINE MADE - TO ORDER SHIRTS that Phillips has tho inside track on the, backstop position, with Hinkle and Evans showing up almost as well in the race. Darnell looks good for second base, and the fans are conceding this position or short to him, with Gross. Coleman and Walters all making about equal bids for the, two Infields. Dwarte Shaw and Young all look good In the outflold, but, with other new men Im proving with each practice, there is yet time for surprises. The pitching staff seems to be pretty well narrowed down, with Captain Reiben, the mainstay, and Culver, Wicks and Craig as assistants.
