-Portland ouffbt to take six straight
Indians. They look bad." U
the message Jimmy Richardson, for
mer Portland sport writer, sends from
Boise. Idaho, the scene of the Spokane
tralnlnc activity until a day or two
a so.
This is not an idle remark from
Portland booster, but the result of
rlose inspection of the Spokane team
by an expert. Unless the Indians en
counter flawless weather during the
next 14 days and the Colts run Into
rain storms at Medford and on their
Oregon trip, the odds will be about
two to one that the tipokane booster
rpirlt will be dampened by opening
week reverses.
Northwestern League writers gener
ally concede that the Colts are likely
to start the reason with a rush thai
wtll plaeo them at the top of the per
centage column by a (rood margin. The
Coltn. the only team In the league to
train in California, were greeted with
pood weather, while the other five
squads have labored through rain, mud
an-1 cold weather.
The experience of this season Is
likely to lead to the establishment of
a number of Northwestern League
training camps In California next
Spring.
Topsy Ilartsel. the Toledo manager.
Is hot after Ward McDowell, the for
mer Portland Colt second sacker.
Ward Is still with Cleveland but
seems scheduled for another year of
seasoning. Olson. Pecklneaugh and
Rates will be the Nap utility infield
ers. Incidentally Hartxel la also after
Baddy Ryan, former Beaver, for his
outfield.
Dan Howley's name comes first in
the list of Philadelphia National sub
stitutes, with Mickey Ia Longe miss
ing. The Philadelphia writers and car
toonists have been featuring "howlln
Dan." the ex-Beaver, and predict that
he will work with Manager Dooln and
Bill Killlfcr on thu Phillies' catching
corps.
Tommy Sheehan. former Portland
tnflelder. Is now manager of the Han
ford (Cal.) Red Sox. In addition Tom
my Is a Brooklyn scout.
The following is a guess made on
the opening day lineup of the Spokane
Indians: Bemis or Kelts, right field;
Man from Boston, first base: Million,
center field; Redmond, second base;
Powell, left field; Altinan or Yohe.
third base; Morse, shortstop: Auer or
Ostdlek, catcher; Toner. Kraft or Bon
ner, pitcher.
A large delegation of Portland fans
is expected to witness the clash of the
American Giants, the colored team of
I hicago. and the Vancouver Barracks
boys at Vancouver tomorrow. "Judge"
McCredle. Fielder Jones, a corps ot
newspapermen and a number ot fans
are already pledged to an automobile
trip.

shots being different spread draws
with the balls at opposite ends ot the
table. He missed his last opportunity
to score when the cue ball slipped be
tween the red and white after a three-
cushion bank.
