i VISALJA, Cat, March 6. (Special.)
Under the blaze of a boiling; sun the
Portland Coast League war horses
toiled and perspired today, both morn-
, ins and afternoon, in the first hard
skirmish of the Spring training period.
The thermometer at 12 o'clock noon
registered 82 degrees, the hottest for
several weeks, and ideal for the un
llmberlng of stiffened cords and mus
cles. Southpaw Krause and the two Cali
fornia recruits. Catcher Riordan and
Inflelder Hellmann, who were slgneS
' by Jimmy Richardson, arrived In the
forenoon from San Francisco and. as
they are already in Brood condition.
McCredle ordered the big gong sounded
' signalising full steam ahead for every
body. There wag no disposition to lag on
the part of any of the athletes. After
a couple of days of easy preliminaries
they felt in the mood to let out a few
' notches and the native rail birds
opened wide their optics in amaze
ment.
Real Work la Prescribed.
Mao had the pitchers warming them
up In relays to the batter and ha also
prescribed the first bunting practice
- of the week. Then came a sharp
fielding session, topped otT by a mile
1 run around the park, and all this was
. roiiowed by a plunge in the tepid
waters of the Visalla Club natatorium.
The reporting of the Krause-Rior-rian-Heilmann
contingent leaves only
four absentees Lindsay, McCormick,
V Hynes and Fortler. and, while they
should drift in before the close of the
week, McCredle la somewhat rattled at
their delay. The Beaver leader today
virtually decided to ship Pitcher Hynes
mid Outfielder Fortler over to the
Northwestern League before the close
of the training season.
Nick Williams, the manager of the
Portland Colts, today telegraphed Mc-
; Credle that he would make the trip to
Visalla next Monday to look over such
, material as the Coast manager might
wisn to discard. Inasmuch as Mc
Credle has decided to carry eight-pitchers,
five inflelders and five outfielders
for at least the first six weeks of the
Coast season, it is no difficult matter
to forecast the players who will be of
fered to Williams.
The pitching delegation in ramn num
bers only nine men, so Hynes will be
the only gift horse of the B league
until in May. when McCredie will lop
off another twlrler. In the Infield the
veterans Derrick, Rodgers. Korea. Lind
say ana Mccormick are sure to stick
leaving Hellmann and Marlott for the
feanta Rosa trek. Fortler will be the
. sole outfielder to be lopped off, as
Chadbourne, Krueger, Doane. Fitzger
ald and Cunningham will be kept on
the Coast payroll.
For his third catcher choice McCredle
has Riordan, the St. Mary's Collegian
and Loan, the Philadelphia High School
lad. One of these will go to Williams.
Riordan had his Initial workout this
morning and showed himself to be ex
tremely quick and active. He possesses
a typical Irish physlogonomy, weighs
160 pounds, and stands 5 feet 9 Inches
'.all. Hellmann, the inflelder. Is tall,
with a good whip.
Two slight accidents rather marred
the serenity of the peppery skirmish
this afternoon. Higginbotham stopped
one of Gene Krapp'a wild shoots with
his head in the batting melee, and
First Baseman Derrick had to retire
to "Doc" Schmleder's bone-setting sanl
torium a few minutes later when a
wicked grounder struck a dornlck and
rracked him on the point of the right
shoulder blade. The trainer worked
over him for 30 minutes arid Derrick
will be out tomorrow again.
Stanley Exhibits Control.
In the warming up preliminaries this
afternoon Southpaw Stanley gave a
wonderful exhibition of control. Ap
parently he Is a southpaw who is not
troubled by wtldness.
"That baby can hit a nickel six feet
away." exclaimed Catcher Berry, en
thusiastically, as Stanley shot the
sphere wherever he placed his big mitt
Stanley and Krause, the southpaws, ex
ercised side by side for a few minutes
and seemed to have at their command
a varied assortment of hooks, drops and
teasers in addition to speed. There will
be numerous lugubrious-faced forecast
ers about if these two portsiders fail
to startle the league. And the writer
will be one of the pallbearers, for there
does not seem to be much to choose be
tween them.
Notes From the Beavers' Camp.
VISALIA. Cal, March . ((Special.)
Box ball is the chief diversion f the
Portland athletes while -off duty. The
clubhouse, where the Beavers are
lodged, boasts of a fine equipment of
alleys, Millard and pool tables, punch
ing bag. horizontal bar, rowing and
weight machines and has a reading
room and natatorium.
-
"tt took me just five mtnutes to
sign Harry Krause to a Portland con
tract," said McCredie on his return
from San Francisco. 'Tve had less
trouble this year than ever before
bringing my men to terms. That's the
one beneficent feature of a second di
vision club."
McCredle may arrange a practice
game with the colored American
(.Slants, of Chicago. The negroes were
in the California Winter League last
Winter and are now located at Los
Angeles. Chadbourne batted against
their pitchers last Fall and says they
have four burly "shines" Gatewood.

The visiting players seemed to have
some difficulty in adjusting themselves
to the big playing field at Washington
Park, because the park used by the
Chicago players at Paso Robles was
much smaller , than the Los Angeles
grounds.
Four of the visitors runs were gar
nered as a result of a wild throw by
Fahey, the Angel shortstop. Fournier
starred in the hitting line for Comis
key's players, the first baseman getting
three hits out of lour times at oat
home run. a double and a single.
Lober, of the Coast team, knocked a
home run Inside the grounds. Four-
nler's homer also was made inside the
lnclosure.
Joe Berger. who 1s trying for the
shortstop berth with the big leaguers,
received a hearty reception by the Los
Angeles fans. Berger responded by
playing errorless ball and making two
hits on four trips to the plate. ' iila

Americans defeated the Oakland team
of the Pacific Coast League this after
noon at Oakland by a score of 9 to 3.
Both teams were In good form.
Benz pitched for the Easterners for
the first five innings and allowed only
one hit and no runs. Schalk, who was
the other half of the White Sox bat
tery during the first half of the game,
played a fast snappy game. In the
third inning, with two men on bases,
he knocked out a clean home run that
brought him an ovation from his old

Smith and Easterly were substituted
as batteries for the White Sox at the

five men and allowed four hits, . off
which the Oakland team took its three

Pope started the game in the box for
Oakland, but was called out after the

Portland is to have a baseball boost

hold an athletic luncheon on Wednes
day. March 19, when an organization
will be launched to stage a gigantic
parade en April 1C, the opening of the
Fdcifio Coast League season burs, ana
crowd 16,000 people into Vaughn-street
Park on that day.
"Boosting for baseball generally, but
working for a big opening day parade
and a record attendance at the first
game of the season specifically, ate to
be the aims of the boosters' club," says
C. H. Moore, president of the Portland
Ad Club and the man who Is largely re.
sponsible for the club-to-be.
W. W. McCredie, president of the
Portland baseball clubs; Fielder Jones,
president of the Northwestern League,
and other baseball people will be pres
ent at the athletic day gathering: of
the Ad Club men, McCredie promising
to make a speech on what will be the
topic of the hour within a few weeks.
The main object of the boosters, head
ed by Mr. Moore. Billy Pangle. Melvin
G. Wlnstock and George L. Parker, is to
give Portland its biggest and best base,
ball parade. Last year no parade was
staged, following the custom in the
major league cities, but this year,
majors or no majors, Portland fans are
going to celebrate the opening of the
diamond season in their own fashion.
"Judge" McCredle interposes no objec
tions to the scheme; in fact, he is much
pleased at the attitude of the fans in
the matter.
Then, too. the record attendance is
sought after for that opening olash
between Portland and Los Angeles on
Tuesday, April 15. Last year the at
tendance was slightly over 11,000, but,
notwithstanding the seating capacity
of little more than 13.000, the aim of
the boosters is to pack 15.000 people
into the grandstand, bleachers and
sidelines for Portland's first baseball
game of 1913.
Another feature of the day will be
the taking of motion pictures of the
parade and game. Melvin Wlnstock,
of the People's Amusement Company,
has agreed to take care of the picture

to have the films used in the weekly

Elaborate ceremonies will be pre
sented at the ball park, with the boost
ers ensconced in a reserved grandstand
section.
An official booster button may be
adopted with a campaign conducted for
members. .
The Chemawa Indians ntay assist
the Portland Colts in dedicating
Vaughn-street Park for the season of
1913. W. W. McCredie has opened ne
gotiations with the Indians for a game
against Nick Williams' Northwestern
Leaguers on Saturday, April 12, and is
confident that he can close a contract
with them. .
The Colts probably will play the Ore
gon Agricultural College nine at Cor
vallis on Thursday, April 10. On Fri
day they play at Albany, meeting the
town team of that place; on Saturday
In Portland against the Indians of the
Knights of Columbus team, and on Sun

NEW YORK, March 6. Although
Patrick J. McDonald, the New York
policeman who won Olympic honors
last Summer, smashed a world's record
tonight when he put the 24-pound
shot 39 feet 3 inches, the real star
of the annual senior indoor champion'
ships of the Amateur Athletic Union
held in Madison-Square Garden tonight
was Abel R. Kiviat, of the Irish Ameri
can Athletic Club, who won the 600 and
looo-yard runs.
In romping away with the two big
middle distance events, Kiviat made a
new American record in the 1000-yard
run of 2:15 4-5, shortening his own
record of two years ago. by two-fifths
of a second. An hour later he led
"Ted" Meredith, the Olympic winner,
by Inches in the 600-yard run with Tom
Halpin, of Boston, a close third.
McDonald exceeded his own world's
record by Ave inches when he smashed
the mark for the 24-pound shotput to
night. The former mark was made at
Celtic Park outdoors IS months ago.
Kolehmalnen, the Finnish long-dls
tance runner, dropped out of the two
mile race after trailing the field of
seven runners for a little more than a
mile. Apparently he was unable to
warm up in the distance which is
shorter than he fancied.
Harry J. Smith, the ten-mile National
champion, went cold also, a lap ahead
of the Finn, and dropped out. William
J. Kramer the former cross-country
champion for ten miles, led the field in
that event and was never headed.
The American indoor records were
equaled in the 70-yard hurdles by
James I. Wendell, of Wesleyan, and by
Howard P. Drew, the negro sprinter
from Springfield, Mass, in the 75-yard
dash.
A penalty of three yards for break
ing in the final of the 300-yard run
failed to defeat Fred Burns, of Boston,
who won and came within one-fifth of
a second of the American record of
33 seconds.
Thirty-one athletes who trod the soil
of Sweden in the Olympic games were
entered on tonight's programme. Most
of them competed.
The events were run oft in the pres

property-owners had donated land for
the continuance of the path to Sylvan.
B. M. Lombard, Fred Strong for the
Ladd Estate, D. E. Keasey and others
donated land for the path. The dis
tance between the park and Sylvan Is
only about three miles, but the winding
path around hills and through mlnla
ture forests will be approximately six
miles long, making a 12-mlle ride for
the mounted travelers.
The cost of building the path will
be small and the cost of maintenance
almost nothing. It will furnish horse
lovers with a beautiful path without
taking their mounts many miles from
the noise and hard roads of the city.
Those present at the meeting at the
City Hall yesterday afternoon, when
final plans were made, were: R. L.
Glisan. W. F. Burrell, B. M. Lombard,
Fred Strong. Captain Wiillam S. Bid
die, D. E. Keasey, Elliott R. Corbett,
Richard Cox, Douglas Taylor. E. T.
Mlsche and S. E. Kramer.
Bob Shand, a San Francisco writer,
says that the Oaks look like 1913 Coast
League champions, but many other
critics dope the race out otherwise and
are loath to give the Oaks a cinoh on
a first-division berth.
TRAINING CAMP
After Wintering In Cuba and holding
out on the Cubs for more salary, he
finally reported in 1909 and worked
in 12 or 15 games with fair success.
Higginbotham was with the Cubs that
year. Hagerman opened 1910 with the
Cubs again, but after a siege of bench
warming was sent to Louisville, a Cub
farm, and a fortnight later, after win
ning two games in three, was further
shunted to Lincoln In the Western
League.
Hagerman finished 1910 with Lincoln,
winning 13 and losing eight; remained
there in 1911 for a record of 15 wins and
13 losses with a poor club, and reached
his zenith last year when he says he
hung up a record of 26 victories and 14
defeats. McCredle bought him for Port
land during the Winter for a cool
$3500, which is finite some price for a
minor league club to fork over when
the protecting draft scale is 1000 seeds
less.
Hagerman is a speed merchant with a
great whiffing record but has also
showed a good slow ball and fair curves
in the preliminary workouts here. Mc
Credie expects him to be one of the
best beta in the Coast circuit in 1913, I
