for Identification purposes.
"The defeat clnchea the pennant for
us! that's all." Bald McCredle after the

It. McCredle Is as superstitious as a
Blackfoot warrior.
"We hare lost live openers In a row

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

single. Page sacrificed and Heltmul

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

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

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.

more consistent pitching and harder
hitting here today, in the 11th Inning
of a game that looked safe for the
visitors In the seventh.
The play was sensational and the at

tho first ball, glided for the occasion
and got a strike. An automobile

Oakland took the lead In the first
with three runs on two hits and Mc

drove the ball over the right field fence
for a home run. Raftery retaliated In
the same inning with a homer over the
right field fence, scoring Mohler ahead
of him.
In the sixth the score was tied. In
the seventh Oakland looked a sure win
ner with three more runs on Jackson's
wild throw to second, but San Fran

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

Coleman and Walters all making about
equal bids for the, two Infields. Dwarte
Shaw and Young all look good In the

seems to be pretty well narrowed down,
with Captain Reiben, the mainstay, and
Culver, Wicks and Craig as assistants.
