A walk to Leard. a stolen baae. a sin gle by Hoffman and a double by Pat terson did the damage. That might not have taken all the nourishment out of the early atanxas. for Portland made It S-l In the first on hits by Lindsay and Butler had not the versatile locals suffered an Inexcusable lapse In the third Inning when they permitted Cook to no all around the bases on a single to right field Whether or not Doane'e throw to Butler at second bounced badly mat- ; tera little. Suffice to announce that nobody made any pretense at backing up the bag and Cook trotted on around home. But All lanea have their turning, and the turnpike that leads to and from the rellar door Is no stralghter than any other, only sleeper. Krueger opened the fourth with a two-bagger Into left. Bill Rapps followed with a smash over the center fielder's head that went to the fence, the Dutchman scoring, bring ing the total to 2. Usee' Hlttlas Ceaala. It was Rapps' sturdy blugeon that again transformed the stand Into a maniacal hive In the sixth Inning.

This blow was Rapps' fourth double In two days, and it tied the score. 3 to 3. Butler reached first by beating out a bunt to Hetllng. guch was the situation until the final section of the tenth Inning, when But ler drove Koestner over the pan and earned for himself the good will of the populace on his first day out. Sensational retrieving by Patterson in the ninth Inning prolonged the con test, the husky Oakland gardener rac ing madly bark against the renter field fane to pluck what looked like a sure triple off the very boards.

Youngster to Be Given Real Trial With Beavers. That Pave Gregg, the long and lanky right-hand twlr'er who was bequeathed to Walter McCredie by Manager Nick Williams, of the Portland Northwestern club, has greater speed than his sensa tional brother, Vean. now with the Cleveland Americans. Ja the declaration of Manager McCredie and several of his veterans who have been working out against the younger Gregg In morning practice the past week. "He looks fine," said Manager Mc Credie yesterday. "I may take him along with nte on the next trip, and if I do I will start him sure. He has curves, speed and plenty of confidence, and the boy Is picking tip In experience every day. Of course he doesn't know all the lnsldes of pitching yet, but Vean taught him a lot last Winter up at his home In Lewlston. Idaho." Artie Krueger and Captain Bill Rodgers, of the Beavers, are loud in their praise for the six-footer. "All he has to do Is to get that pill over and nobody can hit him." declared Artie. "Vean isn't in It with him for speed. Whew! He scorches the horse hide every time he whlxxes that ball at a batter." The younger Gregg. It will be re called. Joined the Portland class B team In mld-eeason last yenr and was saved for a big Sunday crowd. The boy never had stood up before a big grandstand and he was as wild as a March hare. To make matters worse. Catcher Harris messed up a couple of his fast balls and when the furore was over four men had crossed the platter. Pave then gave way to Lamllne. and soon after left for his home In Idaho a little the worse for wear, but more than ever determined to return some time and make good. This Spring he went through the workouts at Sacramento with Nick Williams, but was left behind when Nick's bunch went to Seattle to get a little further schooling irom waiter McCredie.

At Spokane Spokane 5, Vancouver 0. TACOMA, Wash.TAprll J6. (Special.) Portland won a loosely-played game from the Tigers this afternoon by a ! score of 6 to 2. The whole game was In the air. when Ike Butler answered the "C. Q. D." signal pent out by James G. Blaine Gordon and the Bengals never really got settled down. Klein getj credit for winning the game, but his pitching was only of the "so-so" variety and under ordi nary eirmumstances would have ac complished his defeat.' Gordon, how ever, was not In form. He did not even approach it. Errors Meaa Rana. The first man walked; the second sacrificed. Gordon kicked the ball and all hands were safe. Fries laid down a bunt and again Gordon erred. The bases were congested. Then came a wild pitch which bounded badly and hit "Bill" Ludwlg in the knees and knocked him cold. "Dick" Critten den hustled into his harness and Lud wig was carried to the bench. Then Ike Butler was called in and business opened again. "Nick" Wil liams, manager of the Colts, uncorked a long fly to loft field and another run came pattering across the plate. Then things quieted down. The Importunate fana were not to be denied and in the second and third the Tigers evened things up by get ting a pair of runs. It looked like everybody's game and the fans with a speculative turn o'mlnd were offering even money either way the cat Jumped. Hlta Add to Score. The Colts, however, were not to be baffled and In the fifth Inning Strait's single and a triple by Harris gave the visitors a lead. The same combina tion was good for another cin in the eighth and in the ninth," two more were scored. The Tigers succeeded In getting seven hits off of Klein, but they came along at times when they were of lit tle or no avail. A base on balls and two singles are generally good for a run, but the peerless arm of "Bill" Speas pinched Nlll at the plate in the seventh and that as near as the Tigers got to the scoring .device from then on.

However, Powers became unsteady and walks and errors by Whitten and Manary started the scoring. Before the round was over. Columbia had three runs chalked up.
