"No flag, no pole and no weather; no
pennant-raising."
Such was the message sent from Van
couver yaterday afternoon. W. W. Me
Credle, owner of tha Portland Beaera.
raising hlmaelf from a temporary bed
or alrknes to rid hlmaelf of the laconic
but explanatory paragraph.
The flag- ordered from the Et many
weeks ago failed to arrive In Portland
on achedule time, a mlsunderatandlng
falling to bring; the pole to the Beaver
lot. while the weather would have
, proved an effectual barrier to a sue
' ressful bunting-hoisting with tha fU
and timber on hand.
But Judge MeCredle says that he Is
not cheated out of flaunting the flag
before the eyea of the Vernonltas. and
plana to pestporM the pennant-raistng
to July 1. the day on which Mapptrus
Koran and his 1912 aaplrants make
their second appearance In the Beaver,
ctte camp.
Powers- It rally Are t.lad.
By the week of Joly 1 both Owner
MeCredle nd Manager MeCredle are
certain that the Beavers will have
climbed from three to five notchea
above their preaent position, whlrh will
he decidedly a more fitting occasion for
the floating of a championship emblem.
The "powera" are secretly glad that It
will be Impossible to unfurl the stream,
er this week, as the relatively com
mandlng position of the Hooligans
would take the edge off an occasion
otherwise set aside for gloating over
the 1911 contenders.
Manager MeCredle is not discouraged
over the showing of the Beavers to
date, laying the blame for the violent
attack of cellarltis to the weather,
which he declares Is the worst he has
experienced since coming to Portland.
"It Is Impossible to get the pitchers
Into good shape In this weather," aald
Manager Walter yeaterday afternoon.
-With the rain every day preventing
the pitchers from working out proper
ly. and the games played with wet and
muddy balls. It Is not to be wondered
that they are not going right.
Klawitter LHlui Goad.
"However, I have a first-class twirl
ing staff, with Klawitter. the new man.
looking decidedly good, and we'll show
there all a few within a few weeks. I
expect Klawitter to develop Into one of
the best pitchers In the league."
Happy Hogan and the second-place
Vernonltes are acheduled to arrive In
Portland this morning prepped for a
etrenuoua conflict with McCredle'a
aquatic performers. Hogan will send
either Caraon or Hltt Into the fray
against -Speck" Harkness. The Cali
forniana expect to oust the Oaks from
top place within two weeks, and figure
on a slam against the Beavers as one
of the moves towards the pinnacle.
Walter MeCredle says that he is
through with shifting his soldiers in
an effort to produce better batting and
will stand pat on the front presented
last week.
One of the features of the play of the
past two weeks la the way t'mplres
liililebrand and Casey hav performed.
-Hlldy'a" work has been up to his usual
high atandurd. while Pearl Casey has
made himself solid with the fans by the
businesslike way he has gone about
handling the base decisions. Naturally,
Casey made a few doubtful decisions,
as does every umpire viewed from the
stands out hia refusal to enter Into
arguments with players has kept the
games free of the recent scenes on Cali
fornia lots.
Oscar Vitt. the ex-San Francisco play,
rr. la making a big hit with Detroit
fans. He Is hitting In the .3n0 class, a
position he never attained In the Coast
circuit, and has been installed the new

IVactlous Voungstors and Fans
Show Intrest That Prom
ises Large Turnout.
The Northwestern League season of
1913 will be? Inaugurated In Portland,
without the usual accompaniment of
parade, music and mirth-provoking
acts, showing citizens enacting the
role of diamond warriors.
The Coaster season was opened minus
parade, but the Colts will make, their
deout next Monday In a manner which
will make the "dignified and simple"
Coaster Inaugural resemble the prover
bial SO centavos for simplicity.
The only official touch to tha open
ing of what promisee to Portland's
greatest Northwestern League year,
will be the presence of President Jones,
but as he Uvea here and will be a fre
quent witness of the Northwestern
bouts, even that feature will not be
noteworthy.
Judge MoCredio. Colt-Beavor owner,
decided against the opening programme
for the Northwestern Colt-Victoria af
fray, deeming that the Coaster services
are sufficient for one season. Then,
too. if Dime Luck deserted the Beaver
ramp when a band invaded the
Vaughn-street park, the Judge Is de
termined that she shall not take um
brage at a like offense from th Nerth
westcrners. Interest in the Northwestern League
season Is keener here than for years,
the pood start of the Colts and the
correiondlng bad opening of th.i
Beav.?r. turning many of the fans, and
particularly the members of the anvil
chorus, towards the team higher up In
the percentage column.
Coleman, former thlrd-sacker of the
Tacoma Tigers. Is making a big hit in
New York. Coleman broke into the
game at third for the Yankee the day
Wolverton's squad managed to win tts
first game. He handled himself well
and produced a base hit. following the
second day with two hits In three trips
to the platev
-
Jerry Meek, the gigantic Victoria
backstop, who appears here next week.
Is attracting a great deal of attention
up North. Meek and Lou Nordyke are
producing the cleanup swats that are
giving the Bees an unexpected and
amazing position in the Northwestern
percentage column.
Waivers have been secured on Mun
dorff and the hard-hitting Colt is due
nrth anv day. but the exact date of
Joining Williams hss not been ascer
tained. He may not appear In a Port

season here next Monday.

BUDDY RYAN IS "DEMOTKD"
Former Beaver's Failure In Tinthes
Loses Him Place.
Buddy Rysn has slumped a little with
the bat at Cleveland. In fact. "Buddy"
has failed In the pinch so often that
Manager Davis has decided to place
Catcher Easterly after Lajoie in the
batting order. Just ahead of Ryan. In
the first 10 games for which batting
average have been compiled.-Lajoie was
passed six ttmns intentionally when a
hit would mean a run. Buddy evidently
wasn't badly feared, his batting for
10 games in .278. little of which came
in the pinches, for Easterly, who is ad
vanced over him. batted only .194.
Manager Davis of the Naps has de
cided to put First Baseman Hohnhorst
on the bench for good and take the bag
himself, batting after Ryan. This prob
ably msans that Hohnhorst's Major
League career Is finished, and unless
Davis fills the gap in old-time form It
will open an avenue for criticism In
the Ftovall trade to St Louis.
"Lefty" George, procured In the trade,
has been a rank disappointment at
Cleveland. The following table shows

L. P. Lionel -ets Trout Catch or
Present Season.
One of the largest catches of the sea
son, four trout of the rainbow variety,
weighing on an average of 14 pounds,
was hooked by L. P. Lionel at Klamath
River Wednesday.
Trout fishing has not come into its
own yet, and .with the exception of one
or two other catches the majority of
the anglers of Portland who have gone
on rampages after brook fish have not
urcn auccesniui.
Salmon, on the other hand. Is at the
apex of the season and few have gone
to the falls at Oregon City without get
ting something for their trouble. The
sport has been declared by many to
surpass anything at the Willamette
Falls for years, with the quality and
size of the fish comparatively superior.
pick Cole Is one of the happiest men
In Portland, having disposed of his the.
ster. and being without any other care
than the way fish are running at the
locks. He has landed a few big ones in
the last week or so.
C. O. Strube Is the possessor of one of
the finest Portland outfits for catch
ing fish, and Jn a short time will travel
to his "hidden lakes" that are "getting
the goat" of half the anglers of Port
land. P. F. Dempsey. Edward King and
Dave Paquet have formed a little cor
ner on a good hole on Dairy Creek and
will go there again next Sundav. The
weather Sunday was too forbidding for
them.
Carl Hlcku and Ralph Henderson
made good at the Oregon City falls, the
first catching one big member of Ore
gon's water pride, and the second get
ting away with two a trifle smaller.

KNOCK OUT WILL
NOT FINISH BOUT
Refereeing Innovation to Be
Introduced at Champion
ship Tourney May 9-10.
ONLY ENDS ROUND IS RULE
New Plan Will Give Amateurs Op
portunity to "Come Back" and
Show "Class" Instead of
Punishment Capacity.
Portland boxing fans are to be In
troduced to a refereeing Innovation at
tue Pacific Northwest Association box
ing and wrestling championship tour
ney. May 9-10; Instead of a knockout
ending a ring bout, the ten-second
quietus will simply sound the finale
of the round, following the approved
Interpretation of the amateur rules and
harking back to the good old days
when a knockdown signaled the end of
a period in the "pro" game.
Sid Sykes, Vancouver referee who
officiated at the Spokane Northwest
tourney last season, introduced the new
style of refereeing in Northwest cham
pionship meets, and an investigation of
the rules disclosed the fact that his
Interpretation was correct. The sys
tem of minimizing the knockout in
favor of cleverness, or real boxing,
made a. big hit with Edgar Frank,
chairman of the Indoor athletic com
mittee of Multnomah Ciub and he has
decided to instruct Joe Smith. 1912
referee of the big championship
matches, to follow the same plan.
Frank Favors Idea.
"The Idea of amateur boxing is not
to place a premium on the ability of
men to take punishment." interprets
Mr. FranK. "Amateur boxing cham
pionships should De decided purely.upon
the merits of the contestants as ex
ponents of boxing, and not as slug
gers or the ability to assimilate punish
ment. Hence the rule g-ivlng the ref
eree the power to stop a round when
a man has been knocked down or out,
send the contestants to their corners,
and call them back for another round.
Of course the man who scores the
knockout has a big advantage, partic
ularly If his cleverness enabled him
to coax his opponent into leaving an
opening for the knockout punch, but it
simply means that he has the round In
question, with an opportunity for the
other fellow to come back strong
enough in the other two rounds to
win or secure a fourth and deciding
round."
In securing the services of Joo
Smith for boxing referee and Herbert
Greenland for the wrestling end of
the programme, Chairman Frank is
confident that none of the visiting
athletes will have any complaints to
make on the score of favoritism or
poor decisions. Smith Is a veteran
winged "M" boxer who has made good
as a referee in recent smokers, while
Greenland has officiated at every im
portant amateur wrestling tourney In
Portland for years as well as handling
professional bouts.
"The Importance of competent ref
erees cannot ba over emphasized." says
r. Frank. "I have observed in many
matches that incompetent or biased
officials have removed many promising
boys from competition by giving them
the worst of it. They are likely to ba
influenced by the personality of the
boxer or wrestler, the attitude of the
crowd, and. in many instances, the
lighter man Is nearly always favored.
A knowledge of the proper time in
which to break the clinching contest
ants, as well as when to stop a bout,
are also of vital Importance and figure
in the success or failure of an official
and the success or failure of a tourna
ment." Big Rntry 1. 1st Expected.
With a special round-trip rate of a
fare and a third from all Northwest
points to Portland. Chairman Frank Is
confident that the entry list will easily
eclipse anything in the previous his
tory of the Northwest amateur 'organi
sation. He has had promises of large
squads from Seattle, Spokane and Van
couver, and expects men from Astoria,
one or two Seattle clubs, and a number
of independent entries from Canadian
and Washington points. The tryouts
for the meet, will be held at the Spo
kane. Seattle and Vancouver clubs this
week, when the list of entries will
be available. i
The committee In charge of the mitt
mat tourney consists of Edgar Frank.
T. Morris Dunne, Frank Harmar. Frank
Lonergan, Ivan Humason. Hal Rasch.
The championship affair will be
staged In the Multnomah Club gym
nasium, which has a seating capacity
of nearly 1700. The 'programme,
scheduled for Thursday and Friday
nights of next week, will commence
promptlv at 8 o'clock. The bouts will
be 105. 115, 125, 135. 145, 148. 175 and

Biff Ieagne Players Wish to Avoid
Worst Weather Seasons.
NEW YORK. April 29. The poor
physical condition of many ballplayers
in the major leagues caused by the
cold and damp weather has resulted
in an agitation to curtail the playing
season. Players hero feel the ill effects
from the weather, records show the
atten lance has fallen below the mark
of other years, and the playing form
of the big league clubs also Is below
standard except in one or two cases.
The Philadelphia Nationals and the New
York Americans are playing with
teams made up almost entirely of sub
stitutes. '
The latest player In this city to fall
a victim to weather conditions is Hal
Chase, the first baseman of the New
York Americans, who is suffering from
a severe cold and nervous breakdown.
He is in this city under the care of a
physician. Others of the local American
Club on the hospital list are Cree, Wol
ters, Hartzel and Street.
PORTLAND TRACK MEN RETURN'
High School Athletes Back From
Berkeley In Good Condition.
' The majority of the Portland High
School trackmen who competed In the
Pacific Coast meet at Berkeley last
Friday and Saturday arrived home yes
terday, some who missed the Shasta
Limited arriving last night. The men
are In good condition, they say, for
the various meets to be held In this
section of the Northwest in the next
month. The first meet will bo held
at the University of Oregon May 10
and 11.
"I have not had a chance to talk to
the boys, but from accounts of the
meet I think they made a fine show
ling," said Coach B. C. Eastham, of the
Jefferson High, yesterday. Other offi
cials are of the same opinion, ana
think the trip was a success.
The track men are. not exactly over
Joyed at their good showing at Berk
eley, and think they should have taken
more points, notwithstanding Wash
ington High won second place and
Lincoln and Jefferson made good show
ings. A troublesome "Charley horse,"
"too long rubdowns" and "stepping out
of the ring" are causes held for not
taking more of the points.

WHILE RELAY PROGRESSES.
Moving Picture Machine In Auto to
Follow Runners Between Sa
lem to Portland.
Every lap of the Y. M. C. A.-Chemawa
relay race from Ealem to Portland Is
to he bulletined at the Association
building next Saturday while the race
Is In progress. Arrangements have
been made to place a large bulletin
board outside the Y. M. C. A. building
at Sixth and Taylor streets, and in ad
dition there will be a megaphone man
present to Inform the public of the
progress of the race.
It is believed that there will be no
trouble in getting news covering every
stage of the contest. The telephone
company has agreed to give the race
news right of way over Its system,' and
men who will follow the runners in an
automobile will send frequent mes
sages to the association. The relay has
been an annual event for so long that
It attracts much Interest and the Y.
M. C. A. secretaries expect that a large
crowd will gather to get tidings of the
contest.
A moving-picture concern has made
arrangements to photograph the con
test and to show the pictures in many
cities. The camera man will be on
hand to take pictures of the start at
Salem at 10 o'clock, when a message
to Mayor Rushlight will be handed to
the first runner by Governor West. The
moving-picture machine will be loaded
into an automobile and will follow the
runners to Portland, taking views of
exciting stretches along the way. The
pictures will include the finish of the
race In front of the Y. M. C. A. build
ing, when the Mayor will receive the
message from the Governor.
A. M. Grllley. physical director of the
Y.. M. C. A., believes the association
has the best team it has ever entered
in the contest. He is confident that
the record time of five hours. 21 min
utes will be lowered. This time was
made In 1910 by a Chemawa team. The
Y. M. C. A. team, each member of which
will run five miles, is as follows:
Harry Barndollar. Jack McDonald, P.
S. Payton. Fred M. Vanderlip. A. M.
Brown. Theodore B. Turner, Edmund
Trelchel. H. W. Gunther. O. Jensvold
and Thomas Booth. Alternates are A.

Could You

Not many days. Rich, heavy,
black Havana cigars have the same
depressing effect on your heart as
that exertion. Be sensible when
you smoke. A light, domestic cigar
will give you the pleasure of the
Havana without its dangers.
