Manager McCredie, of the Portland Coast League club, de parted thla afternoon for the new train ing base at Stockton Captain Rodgers will follow In me morning- with the main squad of Bear ers, and no further inroads on tne Vlsalla postcard supply will be made until next Spring. The Beavers will re. main at Stockton for ten days, depart lnsr for San Francisco on the eve of the league opening- April 1. "Thasa three weeks in Vlsalla, capped off by the hard seven-game practice series, have Riven me a fairly good line on my men." said McCredie. "This Spring I will not have to wait until after (he opening to do my necessary experimenting." "What particular weaknesses have fceen disclosed by the recent defeats? Also was asked.

"in the main X am satisfied, for I fully expected to tret badly walloped by the negroes, and we axe not supposed to shade the Chi cago Americans, but, for one thing, I believe I need more pinch-hitting Strength on my club. I had Intended using my three veterans in the out field opening week, but if young Fitz gerald's arm continues to improve as It has the past few workouts I Intend to insert him in right field in Doane's place and let him take Doane's second niche in the batting list. Fitzgerald Is one of the greatest pinch hitters in the league and is a better sacrificer than Doane. This, together with his great base-running, will, I believe, more than offset Doane s superior fielding and throwing at least in the short right field in San Francisco, where we open. As for Bill Lindsay, I am immensely pleased with his showing, as it was my Intention a week ago to send Bill to the Northwestern League, for I couldn't see how be was to do me any good, re porting two or three weeks late, but lie is in great shape, and if he looks right in the practice games at Stock ton, ril have him in at third base."

March 20. (Special.) "More fungo hitting to the lnfleld ers," Is the plea put forth by Pitcher Bill James, who has some first-class Ideas of his own on the proper pro cedure of the Spring training routine. Big Bill avers that the managers spend several hours a week drilling their lnflelders on grounders and bunts and on team plar. but never a pop fly tall is knocked to the quartet around the Infield stations. "Hughey Jennings is the only man ager I know of who includes Infield 7 $- flies on the Spring training curricu lum." says James. "Of course, most in fielders are death on fly balls, but know several who do mighty sloppy work." Oua Fisher, Beaver catcher, is one who agrees with James, and the ex Cleveland and New York backstop sees to it that he gets a regular diet of high fouls during the preliminaries.

The Yachting World says the New York Yacht Club's refusal to accept Sir Thomas Llpton's challenge has caused great disappoint ment all over the country, "Indeed," adds the Journal, "disap pointment can hardly be said adequate ly to express the feelings of British yachtmen in the matter. Indignation, in fact, would be nearer the mark. "The action of the holders in refus ing another contest sfter the lapse of 10 years displays lack of sportsman ship, and we feel must be regretted by American yachtsmen as a body as much as it is on this side of the Atlantic 'ill i in if 'r v.---:? 11 - ' - Mil JI NEGROES PLAN TOUR American Giants to Meet Colts in Portland. COMPARISON IS POSSIBLE Fast Blacks to Play Every Club In Northwestern League With Games Here April 12 and 13 Ore. gon Seeks Contest at Eugene. PROPOSED SCHEDULE OF NEGRO GIANTS. At Seattle April A. 5, 8. At Vancouver April T, 8, . At Victoria, April 10. At Tscoma April 11. At Portland April 12, 11 . At Spokane April 14. Northwestern baseball fans will not be forced to wait until after the open tng of the season on April 15 to get a fair line on the strength of the sex tet of diamond squads, for, unless ail signs fail, the famous American Giants, the negro team of Chicago, will meet every team in the circuit before the opening of the 1913 campaign. W. W. McCredie, Portland baseball magnate, closed a deal yesterday after noon for the appearance of the "Negro Majors" in Portland for Saturday and Sunday, April 13 and 13, against the Colts. As these games depend upon other exhibitions with Northwestern League clubs, the tentative schedule as presented by railroad officials probably will be followed. Portland and Northwestern fans, who folowed the Giants in their games with the Beavers, winning four in five con tests, are eager to see these highly- touted black men In action. In ad dition to the novelty of witnessing players whose color is the only barrier to tne majors, the opportunity of siz lng up the Northwestern League teams by comparative scores appeals to the bugs. McCredie has promised to aid In se curing several games in Southern Ore gon for the Giants, who leave Los Angeles for the North March 29. Arthur Geary, graduate manager of athletes at the University of Oregon, was In Port land yesterday and practically closed for an appearance of the negroes against the collegians at Eugene. The Giants wished to open their Northwestern tour In Portland but the Colts will not be here until April 12, so when Fielder Jones advised Manager Foster that nothing could be lost by returning to Portland from the North ern cities of the circuit, the dates were accepted. Jones and Foster, the latter known as the "Black Mathewson," knew each other In Chicago when Fielder was piloting the White Sox. McCredie received a poster yesterday advertising the Colt-Seal series. The poster presents a picture of Nap Lajole. the famous Cleveland second sacker. abeled "Nick Williams, manager of the Colts." The Seals and Colts play to day at Santa Rosa and tomorrow and Sunday at Boyes Springs. COLLEGE GAMES POSTPONED Cnlverslty of Oregon Team Will Open Season Here April 10. The opening of the college baseball season In Portland has been postponed from April 12 to April 19. with the University of Oregon team meeting the Multnomah Club boys on Multnomah Field. This postponement was necessitated by the annual Columbia University track and field championships on April together with the rival baseball attraction in the shape of the negro Colt struggle. Manager Lyle Brown is negotiating with Willamette and. the Oregon "Ag gies' for games. Two are to be scheduled with each team. One of the games with the "Aggies" will' be played on Multnomah Field May 30. Yachtsman Tells New York Club If His Interpretation Is Accepted Ho Will Remove Objectionable Words From Challenge. BELFAST, Ireland. March 20. A re quest was sent today by cable by the Royal Ulster Yacht Club asking the New York Yacht Club for a reconsid eration of its refusal of Sir Thomas Llpton's challenge for the America's cup. This was accompanied bv a long statement from Sir Thomas Lipton with which the committee of the Irish Club signified Its agreement. The committee hopes that tne Har monious relations of the two clubs will be cemented further by another suc cessful series of races and therefore requests the New York Club to recon sider the challenge. Sir Thomas Lipton s statement is as follows: "I deeply regret that the New York Yacht Club has been unable to accept my challenge. After reading the ex planation given of its refusal I can only conclude that the challenge and the Intentions of the challengers have been misinterpreted. Deed ot Gift Quoted, The deed of eift states: " 'The competing yachts or vessels of one mast shall not be less than 65 feet or more than 90 feet at the water line.' "The deed of gift also states that there shall be no time allowance. "It must be presumed that the fram ers of the deed of gift intended that some reasonable meaning should be at tached to their words and they could never have contemplated such-an ab surdity as a challenger of 65-feet being met by a 90-foot defender. "The deed of gift also requires that 10 months prior to the race the chal lenger shall communicate the dimen sions of his yacht, which dimensions shall not be exceeded. If the real meaning of the words quoted is that the challenger Is the person to fix with in the limitations of the deed of gift the dimensions of the competing yacht and that both yachts are to be of that dimension, then the deed at once be comes intelligibla and reasonable. New York View Combated. I submit that this is the true in terpretation of the deed of gift. It was on this understanding tnat I challenged and I repudiate the idea that any attempt has been made to im pose limitations or restrictions not within the deed of gift. i venture to disagree from the statement made by the New York Yacht Club that the present challenge does not differ in principle from the challenge I sent ts America in 1907. The 1907 challenge asked for a varia tion of the deed of gift, in order to permit of a race under the universal rule No such variation Is asked for in this case, and I fail to see that there Is any analogy between the two chal lenges. I fully understood the decision or the New York Yacht Club in 1907 to Dermit no variation from the deed of gift, despite mutual agreement on the clause, but I maintain that tnis nas no bearing whatever upon my present challenge. Extremes Regarded Too Great. The New York Yacht Club states that it would have accepted with pleas ure an unconditional challenge. The only conditions I ask for are those of the deed of gift, for I cannot conoelve that the framers of that document, af ter taking pains to prohibit all time allowance, contemplated races Detween such ridiculous extremes as yachts of 65 and 90 feet. Tf. upon reconsideration, which I am sure tho New York Yacht Club will be good enough to give this matter, they accept my interpretation of the deed of a-ift. I shall be happy to remove from my challenge the words to which they object. Mv reason for selecting a 76-iooier is that a yacht of this dimension rep resents the largest type of cutter now racing in any part of the world. PORTLAND GETS S AIREDALES TO BE EXHIBITED HERE APRIL- 2-5. Local Fanciers Willing to Let Event Go to Seattle, bnt Officers Slake Award. Without any effort on the part of the officers of the Portland Kennel Club to secure it, the Northwest Airedale Fu turity Club again will hold its annual exhibit for the Airedale stakes at the show here April 2-6. So much was learned yesterday by Secretary J. J. McCarthy, who received a telegram that 100 Airedales would be coming down. This refers to the clun s dogs only. As a rule the stakes is held at the various Northwest shows in order and it was generally felt and conceded here that Seattle would gain the ex hibit this season: in fact. Portland fan ciers did their best to recommend the Puget Sound city. Once again it nas Deen a case ot a professisonal Judge, with a specialty for Airedales, proving a greater draw ing card than an amateur. Last year Portland was thought to be doing well in securing 66 dogs from the club, but that number Is practically doubled, so that prospects for a four-point show are unusually bright. Frank Watkins will not Judge at Seattle, as had been expected, because the San Francisco dates conflict with he Seattle dates, and Watkins has to be at the California show. San Francisco dates are April 7 to 10 Seattle's are April 10 to 12. Port land finishes the Saturday before San Francisco opens and that win hardly Kive the men time to get their dogs down, let alone give them a rest. There is but slight prospect lor an alteration, for the dog fanciers in Cali fornia are strong, among them being Spreckels, Ackerman and Stettbeimer, all men with Influence and money at their command. Amateur Athletics. Hopkln Jenkins, principal of the Jef ferson High School, has secured the services of Harvey Newell, whose play ing In the Tri-City Baseball League was a feature, as coach of the 1913 Jefferson baseball squad. Newell has decided to keep the players from work- Hill Military Academy students are on a vacation until Wednesday. School was dismissed yesterday following the mid-term examinations. It is rumored that Richie Parrott. former Trl-Clty League baseballplayer, will pilot the Hill baseball squad this season. a a a The Jefferson High grounds are be ing put In shape for baseball practice. A number of amateur baseball teams have applied to the school board in an effort to secure the grounds when no In use. It is probable that the board will allow the teams the use of the field if they will put up J5 as insur ance against damage. SPOKANE TO STAGE BIG MEET Boxers and Wrestlers to Compete for Inland Empire Championship. SPOKANE. Wash., March 20. (Spe cial.) Boxers and wrestlers from every city and town In the Inland Empire will meet in Spokane May 13 and 14 for a two-day smoker, the biggest event of its kind ever held in this city.

The lad is handicapped severely by lack of ex perience and Dillon has a deal on now for another shortstop Kellogg, a burly lefthander, who be longs to the Montgomery club of the Southern League, worked out wun tne Angels this morning and surprised the Diayers by ma unusual speea. At Venice, Hap Hogan's men were reveling in the glory of smothering another nine of bustiers. Hogan says It's fine practice for his men and really doesn't hurt the bustiers' standing. Both before and after the game he had his men practicing base running and sliding.
