REliDI.VG. CaU April 7. (.Special.)
In two well-played games of ball the
regular Portland Northwest Club today
defeated the Kedding Tigers, 5 to
and 5 to 1. In the morning game Ton-
neson pitched the entire nine Innings
and showed up In fine form. Ills offer
ings were received by Harris and Troeh
who divided the game.
Kastley worked the full game of the
afternoon and displayed a great variety
of shoots and bends. From his present
form he should have the best year In
his career.
The hitting of Strait was a big fea
tu re In the afternoon, game. lie con
nected safely four times and each hit
was a hard line drive. Mensor also
did some good hitting, while Bvrd and
Coltrln pulled off some lightning work
around the short pastures.
Curly Wilson caught for the Redding
team In the afternoon, relieving Dash
wood, who caught In the morning. Wil
son csught a nice game and hit the
ball hard. In firt. he showed better
to. lay than at any other time In -practice
or In a game.
Car, Carey and Byrd were released
today, and the squad will be further
thlnnod out before Wednesday, when
the Colts hit the trail for Grants Pass.
The Yannigans Journeyed today to Wil

horses was staged before Pacific Coast
League fandom last week. Oakland,
enacting the role of, the despised
plater, romped home under the wire
five full lengths representing games
ahead of San Francisco, the "hope,"
and well ahead of the recognized con
tenders. The critics received a severe Jolt dur
ing the initial week of the campaign,
Vernon alone relieving the strain by
performing up to the high standard
set for the first-division teams-to-be.
Oakland, overlooked by the majority
of writers and placed In cold type as
nothing more than a possibility, went
away winging to a good start for the
league leadership. Los Angeles, crip
pled and mediocre from a champion
ship standpoint, held valiantly In the
front rank.
Of course, one swallow does not
mako a Summer, or one series decide
a league championship, but no matter
what course the struggle may take
when the teams are finally set for the
-long chase for the pennant, the upsets
of the opening week will be long
remembered by fan and critic.
Hostilities will be reopened tomor
row afternoon with Portland meeting
Oakland at Oakland. San Francisco
Journeying to Sacramento, and Vernon
opening the home season against Los
Angeles. The situation will be further
clarified by the games of the week, for
the series should show whether Oak
land and Los Angeles have been play
ing over their heads, or are really to
be reckoned with as serious factors in
the race.
Judge McCredle received a letter
from Nick Williams yesterday, the
Northwestern leader speaking in glow
ing terms of his 1913 "hopes." He says
that the Colts are Tapidly rounding
Into first-class condition. His pitchers

season, while Straight, one of the new
outfielders, looks particularly promis

The Judge did not elaborate upon the
subject of dignity, particularly when
the hilarity accompanying the usual
heaving and receiving of the leather
sphere by non-athletic politicians is
reviewed, but he is anxious to break
away from the parade, speech and
other antiquated rules of opening day.
But the elimination of all but brief
diamond ceremonies does not mean
that fandom mill desist In Its efforts to
make Tuesday the Kth as essily re
membered as "Friday the 13th." Al
ready reservations are being made for
sections of the grandstand, while the
afternoon of opening day will be a
holiday In spirit, if not in name.
Judge McCredle has received an In

closed today. The Nationals, owned by
a woman, will begin the season with j
three new pitchers "Billy" Bell, six
feet four Inches in height; Joe Willis,
a left-hander, and Eugene Gale.
Frank Gllhooly. a diminutive player,
also is a new man. He was signed to
cover right field. Catcher "Hickory"
Johnson was added to the team, prin
cipally because he is a pinch hitter.
CHICAGO AMERICAN BETTER
Three New Recruits to Be Seen in
Lineup at Opening Game.
CHICAGO. April 7. Under new
leadership and with three new recruits
in the lineup, the Chicago Americans
appear to be a much-improved team.
New members of the club are Mattick.
rlght-flelder: Weaver shortstop, and
Rath, second baseman.
St. Louis will opppse Chicago in the
opening game here Thursday. Manager
Callahan has announced that Walsh
probably will pitch and Sullivan will
be behind the bat.
Lee Tannehlll will be retained as
utility lnfielder and Matty Mclntyre as
utr.ity outfielder. Mclntyre reported
only last week and therefore Is not in
condition to play the opening game.
Cincinnati Ball Fans Anxious.
CINCINNATI. April 7. Cincinnati
baseball fans will see several new feat
ures here on Thursday, when the Chi
cago team opens the National League
season In this city. A new grandstand
that Is said to compare favorably with
any structure of Its kind will welcome
them, while the team will be headed by
a new manager, Frank O'Day, erstwhile
umpire In the National organization.
Few new faces will be found in the
opening game. Probably Humphreys or
Rtggs will pitch, while McLean will
catch.

FANS EAGER FOR CALL
TWO MAJOR AND TWO MINOR
LEAGCES OPEN THIS WEEK.
Nationals and Americans on Edge
for Season With Seven Clubs
Vnder Leaders Vntrled.
NEW YORK. April 7. The American
and National Leagues, the American
Association and the Cotton States and
Southern Leagues open the baseball
season this week.
This year more than 300 recognized
clubs of professional players through
out the country will battle for honors
In nearly two score leagues.
In the West the Pacific Coast league
has stolen its usual march on the other
baseball sections by "getting Into the
game already, but by Wednesday tna
enthusiasts of the Middle West will
start "rooting." enthusiasm will have
spread to the Atlantic Coast by next
week. In close order follow the minors.
Though the big leagues retain most
of the veteran players and the younger
Idols of last season, the change in man
agements which seven, of the clubs
underwent thlB year Is the greatest
shakeup within years. The American
league has five such changes. Clark
Griffith has left Cincinnati and taken
charge of the Washington team; Harry
Wolverton has come from the Pacific
Coast to put new life into the New
York Americans: Jake Stahl, the Bos
ton American first baseman, has come
back after a year's retirement to man
age the team: Harry Davis, the Phila
delphia Americans' famous first-sack-er.
has gone to Cleveland to run the
club, and the Chicago Americans are
to be led generally by Jimmy Callahan,
the old-timer whose "come back" last
season surprised the enthusiasts.
In the National League there are two
changes in management. Johnny
Kllng, former star catcher of the Chi
cago Cubs, Is promoted to the manage
ment of Boston after a season's work
behind the bat there. In Cincinnati
there will be the novelty of an um
pire turning manager, as Hank O'Day,
a National "League arbiter for years,
has undertaken to lead that team.
President Thomas J. Lynch, of the
National League! is optimistic about the
coming season.
"I look for the best season the Na
tional League ever has enjoyed," he
said. "With so many of the clubs
strengthened. It should be a keen race.
New York. Chicago. Philadelphia and
Pittsburg are sure to have close com
petition among themselves and this
season Brooklyn. Cincinnati, Boston
and St. Louis look stronger than last
year."
The six managers of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club's Sunday Morn
ing Baseball League met yesterday and
picked the lineups by the regulation
draw-f rom-the-hat method. Each team
has at least 18 men on the staff, insur

In a statement today he. said five
clubs would be prominent contenders

-"In the last two years," said Presi

reconstruction In the eight teams, and
this season hope to reap th bene
fits of that tremendous task.
Boston. New York. Chicago and
Cleveland have strengthened their
teams to a marked degree, and the. or
ganization can, with confidence, prom
ise a struggle. In which five clubs will
be strong contenders for the flag.
"Philadelphia, with Its well-seasoned
club under the guidance, of Connie
Mack, should be a powerful factor,
and Detroit, also, should prove to be
a strong club. I xpect much of New
York. Chicago, Cleveland and Wash
