SANTA ROSA, Cal.. Harch 25. (Spe
cial.) Tired of the bustle and elbow
rubbing In the hotel lobbies, "lelc Wil-
Hams, inauagcr of the Portland North
western League club, today chopped
six of his budding stars from ofX the
list of aspirants.
He now has just 3? men. enough to
outfit a third club, even yet, so there
will have to be some further pruning
rn the Colts leave this city the latter
part of the week on their barnstorm
in? hike toward home.
Jackson, a Portland catcher; Jew
ett, stortstop, recommended by Mun
dorff; Culver, a San Francisco outfield
er, and C res pi. De Carly and Dobbnin,
California, rookie pitchers, are the first
to have their big league hopes crushed
Into jaded nothingness. Manager Wil
liams plans to take 22 men with him
when he leaves for the north and 17 of
these will likely stick the year out.
San Helps Colts.
The Portland Class B squad has been
here for more than a week, but today
the boys enjoyed their first work In
the beautiful local park, which has
been under water most of the time.
The blazing sun tied a batting average
oc .600 today, however, and quite
number of players remained at the
park continuously from 10 A. M. till
P. M.
From a superficial examination Port
land will have a contending -club In the
field on Jones circuit this year. Man
aper A llllams has Harris, a veteran,
behind the bat, and two promising
youngsters. Bliss, of the Western Can
ada League, and Murray.
In a practice game today the latter,
a San Francisco semi-pro, plugged the
hall over the distant right field fence
for the second hotnpr ever recorded at
the Santa Rosa park.
The infield will be as strong as any
In the league and. If Coltrln maintains
his present batting rampage and Nick
Williams' arm continues in shape,
there II be none that can compare.
3Iohlcr Frisky as Kid.
Mohler, at second, is a frisky 24
year-old, reversing the intergers on the
real count, while Bancroft at third,
and Coltrln, at short, with Guignl as
the likely utility, have sufficient ex
perience, speed, fielding and swatting
strength to do credit to the city and
the circuit.
The outfield will probably shape up
with Fortler, Fries. Mahoney and Culi
len on the roster. Fortier is a little fel
low, and came from the Union Associa
tion In the draft. He broke In as a
catcher at Seattle in 1908. Cullen looks
teeMedly promising. He Is a well-
built, clean-limbed boy, fast and pos
sessed of a good arm and batting eye.
Pitching Staff Large.
Manager Williams has a world of
pitchers and should be able to fulfill his
promises of assistance to such mana
gerial subsidiaries as Terry McKune,
Icvereaux, Al Cooley, McCloskey and
others.
Eastler. Bloomfield. Glrot, Doty, Ag
new, Callahan and Fitchner are hold-
ivers. Aside from Southpaw Girot they
have had no chance to show form yet.
Martlnonl. the former Oak righthander,
is In great fettle and will start the
game against the White Sox tomorrow
witii Kastley tn as prospective finisher.
Williams is counting on developing
rmiple of stars from Hynes, the Can
ndian Leaguer, Mays, of the Western
Trl-State. and Stevens, the Nebraska
school teacher. Cooney and Koch will
undoubtedly will be plucked in the next
harvest, although Cooney, a San Fran
Cisco tvro. looks good. Williams line
up tomorrow against the Chicago
Americans' second squad will be Bliss
Harris, catchers; Murtlnonl. Kastley,
pitchers; Norton, first; Mohler, second
base; Bancroft, third: Coltrln, short;
Fortler. Mahoney, Cullen, outfield.
Many Stars on Sox.
While this White Sox contingent Is
not the one that mrt the Beavers, it
boasts of such well-known stars as
Houlo, Zflder. Berger, Fornier, Davy
Jones and others.
Mannfier Williams Is in something of
a quandary tonight over a conflict of
nates. He is scheduled to Fend his first
team to Sacramento Saturday and Sun
cay against the Senators, but the Santa
Rosa Chamber of Commerce Is booking
the .same dates here between the Colts
and the San Francisco Coasters. Inas
much as tho Santa Rosans are paying
Nick's expenses in lieu of an assign
ment of all gate receipt moneys. Mana
ger Williams feels duty bound to fill
the local engagement, so the Colts will
have to meet the two seasoned Class
AA clubs under inauspicious clrcum
stnnces If the Seal series Is booked.
If the two young catchers. Bliss and
Murray, continue to handle themselves
as thev have been doing the past week,
said Williams today, the Colts will not
seek the reinforcement of either Loan
or Rlordan from Walter McCredie's
Beavers.
According to an announcement here
tonight. Southpaw- Stanley, of the
Portland Coast League. 4s to be turned
over to NUk Williams fPortland
Northwestern within the next fort
night. "Yes, I expect to get him, admitted
Manager Williams tonight. "I have
heard nothing definite from Walter
MvCrcdie. but have heard indirectly
that Stanley Is coming as seven pitch
ers will be Mac's limit after April 15."

Both Teams Make High Scores In
First Two Games but Fall Down
In Third Round Al Arens Is
Leader In Individuals. '
Martin and Alger, a Portland dou
bles team, jumped into the lead for the
two-man championship of Oregon last
night, rolling 120S for three garats'on
the Oregon alleys. Arens and Bechtel
rank second with 1199.
The competition was keen, with 12
teams rolling in two sections. Arens
and Bechtel made their 1199 score in
the first string, but were forced to take
second place when Martin and Alger,
not mentioned among the prominent
title possibilities, toppled the pins at a
terrific pace.
But for Bechtel's woeful tumble In
the last game, he and Arens would
easily have taken first place. After
rolling games of 201 and 202 Bechtel
fell to 169. Contracting the same
fever, Arens fell from 237 and 210 to
ISO and the second-string boys led by
four pins. Martin also fell to 169 in
his final game, but Alger bolstered
him with a 223 mark.
Al Arens rolled 627 for the high In
dividual score of the night, a score
which is also high for the tournament
to date.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 25. (Spe

look Is Bill Rodgers, captain of the
Eeavers. The trapper-second baseman
dees not predict a pennant, but he does
think the McCredieltes will finish first
nr aepnnd. His reasons are to the
point:
First A good pitching staff.
Second A good infield with an ex
tra man Just as good as the regulars
Third Outfield reserve strength.
"It's all right to talk about hard
luck, inluries, etc., but the safe way to
avoid hard luck is to be like Muggsy
MrOrsw have men sitting on the
bench who are as good or better than
those in the lineup," said Rodgers, dis-
riiRainir his charsres.
"Last year we had three pitchers at
the start. Harkness. Koestner and Hen
derson, and when two went bad we
worked Koestner to death and he was
of little service later on. This Spring
Mac has seven and if the task of
lonniner off a man were given me to
morrow I wouldn't know where to
start.
"Our infield was weak last season.
added Rodgers. "but I think it is io
per cent stronger now. 1 have played
against McCormick and he is as good
as any inflelder in the league. Kores
looks good to me ana so aoes jerncti,
vhii. T.indsav. in shape, is as good as
the best of them. Personally, I am in
better condition to play ball than last
year, when my injured ankle troubled
me more than most people imagined.
"McCredie had three outiieiaers in
1912 and he has five now. wny
shouldn't we have a good year if we
get any of the breaks at all?"
Rndfrers thinks youne Heilmann is

BARGAIN DAY NOW SET
EAST SIDE BCS1A-ESS MEN'S CLUB
ACTIVE FOR RESULTS.
Chairman Dllworth Tells of Work
Planned for Year In ion Depot
and Factories Being Sought.
Through the publicity committee, of
which George Dilworth is chairman,
the East Side Business Men's Club has
established Wednesday as East Side
bargain day. The plan has been in
operation long enough to get results,
and Mr. Dilworth reports that East
Side business men are getting satis
factory results through establishment
of bargain day and co-operative ad
vertising. The plan has worked out harmo
niously. Every Wednesday the busi
ness houses offer specialties, each dif
ferent from the others. One result
has been that the East Side business
men get together and get results. Wed
nesday as bargain day on the East Side
has come to stay for some time at teast.
Bargain day Is one of the new fea
tures of the club, which will under
take during the year to locate factories
la the railway district. It has a spe
cial committee at work on this proposi
tion. The remarkable showing of the
new East Side freight depot since it
was opened last December has shown
that it was needed, and the club is
urging the need of a union passenger
depot to take care of the East Side
population.
That this union passenger depot is
needed is shown by the building statis
tics for the past two years. In the
past three years permits were issued
for 9020 dwellings on the East Side,
and for the same time 485 were on the
West Side. The transportation com
mittee is using these figures to show
the population of the city has been
moving largely to the East Side, and
that there is the place for the union
passenger depot.
